Another way Bitcoin mining can be made more sustainable, some argue, is to use “stranded” or wasted energy, for example capturing the power of flare gas at oil patches to mint digital money. How else can Bitcoin help with wasted energy?De Vries: Bitcoin uses a lot of energy, but if it’s a use of energy that would otherwise be going to waste then it’s not really a problem. China recently banned Bitcoin mining because these Bitcoin miners were ultimately responsible for the revival of coal mines.

Dubbed the M1 Pro & M1 Max, these two Apple chips are being called the most powerful chips that Apple has ever built. Compared to the Apple M1 chip, Apple claims that the CPU in M1 Pro and M1 Max can deliver up to 70% faster performance. When it comes to battery power on that M1 Max, Apple claims that the GPU delivers performance comparable to a high-end GPU in a compact pro PC laptop, but with 40% less power. Apple claims that you can expect up to 17 hours of battery life for video playback on 14-inch MacBook Pro models — a full 6 hours more than before on 13-inch Apple M1 MacBooks.

Before MacBook Pro users got used to the placement of it, many ran into issues with accidentally brushing the Touch Bar while typing something on the upper half of the keyboard. Apple patched this later on, but this didn’t make the Touch Bar’s start any better. Apple also promised that the Touch Bar would be a spot for hidden app information, but unfortunately, this also proved to be rather ineffective due to the bar’s placement. The new 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro notebooks no longer have a Touch Bar.

Apple has just launched the brand-new MacBook Pro 14, but it has kept last year’s M1 MacBook Pro 13 around as an entry-level model. At first glance, the MacBook Pro 13 and the MacBook Pro 14 look pretty similar. Although the MacBook Pro 13 and MacBook Pro 14 have very similar footprints, there are some small differences. This much-loved charging port was phased out with the 2016 MacBook Pro redesign, but it’s back in style with the MacBook Pro 14.

That said, you can still get Photoshop by itself if you wish, or Photoshop with some other Creative Cloud apps, without paying for the whole bundle (although although at about $20 per month for Photoshop alone, buying one of the above Photoshop bundle deals is a much better value overall). Like pretty much all Adobe software, both Adobe Photoshop Elements 2021 and the Creative Cloud software packages are available for both Windows and Mac. Adobe Creative Cloud is a suite of multiple editing apps — think something akin to Microsoft Office, except even more expansive — that contains the full-featured Adobe Photoshop graphic design program along with a bundle of other software. Released last year, the latest 2021 revision of Adobe Photoshop Elements succeeded the 2020 version (which itself succeeded Photoshop LE) as Adobe’s entry-level raster graphics editor and is the best choice for amateur and casual users.

By the numbers, the new MacBook Pro has a better display than most TVs produced today. During its presentation, Apple claimed its new MacBook Pro displays were capable of up to 1,000 nits sustained brightness and up to 1,600 nits peak brightness. The MacBook Pro may have a much smaller screen size, but that smaller screen will look better than its 65-inch and above mini-LED backlit TV counterparts. Yet again, Apple’s processing power and manufacturing tolerances should make the MacBook Pro capable of delivering both color accuracy and color excitement, thus closing the loop on a group of picture quality elements by which TVs are judged.

As for the base model MacBook Pro 16 inch, it starts at $2,500 and includes a 10-core CPU, 16-core GPU, 16 GB of RAM, and 512 GB of storage. Do note, though, that you also can jump up to the more powerful M1 Max CPU on all-new base model MacBook Pro models if you want. We don’t think you’ll ever need the top-range Macbook Pro 14 inch or MacBook Pro 16-inch model unless you’re into some serious stuff that requires a lot of computing power. The 16-inch models, meanwhile, come in at 4,7 pounds on the M1 Pro model and 4.8 pounds on the M1 Max model.

The SD card slot is convenient for direct transfers from a camera, while the HDMI port allows you to connect to an external display without using one of your Thunderbolt ports. As MacRumors points out, it’s a particularly strange misstep since the latest Apple TV includes an HDMI 2.1 port. To be fair, Apple is likely looking at its Pro Display XDR, which is also stuck at HDMI 2.0 and 60Hz. Apple imagines you using the MacBook Pro connected to three Pro Display XDRs (because who doesn’t have three?

On Oct. 14, a clip of Twitch streamer and commentator Hasan Piker saying he has hired sex workers before ignited debate on Twitter. Some sex workers have responded to anti-sex work tweets by noting that Piker’s comments are ultimately helpful for public perception of sex workers. In a phone interview with the Daily Dot, Félix said that Piker’s comments normalized sex work and supporting sex work by hiring them—rather than solely verbalizing one’s support. Plus, Félix said that Piker talking about hiring sex workers publicly breaks the stigma that only “perverts,” “weirdos,” and “losers” interact with sex workers.

is considering asking media from Holdings to to let rivals access and display their content in search results, a move that could further eradicate online barriers and shake up the internet advertising arena. The Ministry of Industry and IT is debating rules to make hundreds of millions of articles on Tencent’s WeChat messaging app available via search engines like Baidu’s, people familiar with the matter said. It’s also considering making short videos from ByteDance’s Douyin — TikTok’s Chinese cousin — show up in searches. If implemented, the policy decision would mark a significant advance in Beijing’s campaign to break down barriers among China’s internet giants, especially and Alibaba Group.

Pakistan’s rupee hit a record low on Monday of 173.20 in intra-day trading against the dollar before closing at 172.78, below the previous close of 171.18, after reports of a failure of talks with the Monetary Fund, traders said. The government's finance ministry on Monday dismissed reports by local media over the weekend that talks from October 4 to 15 for the release of a $1 billion loan tranche were inconclusive. No timeframe was set at any stage for the conclusion of the talks,” the finance ministry said. In June, a similar round of talks between the two sides had failed.

Technology Group unveiled its first electric vehicles, a milestone that could boost the Taiwanese electronics manufacturer’s credentials as a serious bidder for Apple’s secretive automotive project. Executives including Young Liu, chairman of Foxconn’s flagship unit Hon Hai Precision Industry, unveiled the vehicles at its Technology Day event in Taipei. Foxconn is among the technology firms targeting EVs as a source of growth beyond low-margin electronics assembly. The Ohio plant deal is a boon for Foxconn, giving it assembly capacity, equipment and talent.

is looking to raise 25 billion kronor ($2.9 billion) in a Stockholm initial public offering in a test for automakers amid the sector’s transition to electric vehicles. The Swedish carmaker, owned by China’s Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, is offering shares at 53 kronor to 68 kronor each, according to a statement Monday. The deal values Volvo Cars at as much as $23 billion, 11 years after the Chinese firm bought the business from Ford Motor Co. for $1.8 billion. The is set to be Europe’s largest since January, according to the data compiled by Bloomberg.

Netflix’s hit show Squid Game is driving the company’s shares to outperform its streaming rivals as well as other technology peers in the month since the release of the TV series. The streaming pioneer’s shares have risen 7.1 per cent since the launch of the show, outshining other big technology stocks and its streaming rivals. The NYFANG+ Index, which includes the likes of Apple, Google-owner Alphabet and Tesla., rose 0.6 per cent during that period, while rival Walt Disney, which owns the Disney+ streaming service, saw its stock decline 3.8 per cent. shares are just 1.7 per cent away from an all-time closing high, and analysts expect the show to boost quarterly earnings due Tuesday.

Colin Powell, who served Democratic and Republican presidents in war and peace but whose sterling reputation was forever stained when he went before the UN and made faulty claims to justify the US war in Iraq, has died of Covid-19 complications. In announcing his death on social media, Powell's family said he had been fully vaccinated. As President George W Bush's first secretary of state, Powell led a State Department that was dubious of the military and intelligence communities’ conviction that Saddam Hussein possessed or was developing weapons of mass destruction. Powell died at age 84 from Covid-19 complications despite being fully vaccinated, his family announced on Monday.

A man approached the boy while his parents were preoccupied and asked the boy to come over to the man’s house for dinner, the boy joined the man and lost track of time. It got late and the boy stayed the night and the next morning had breakfast at the man’s house and asked the man if he could show him the way back home because the boys parents must have gotten worried. When the boy got back his parents and a group of other people came running to him crying because apparently the boy had been missing for a few days already, while the boy thought he had only been gone for less than a day.I assume it’s a patron who was making their way out but no one comes out from the hallway, so I call down to the back that the museum is closed, and I’d be happy to show them out the back way.

In the Second Crusade, the Muslim commanders defeated Western crusaders at Damascus, said Jonathan Phillips, a professor of the history of the Crusades at Royal Holloway, University of London. It makes sense that it was found in the sea, he said, because many battles were waged near beaches, where Christian soldiers landed and were sometimes attacked by Muslim forces. The general director of the Israel Antiquities Authority, Eli Escosido, praised Mr. Katzin because “every ancient artifact that is found helps us piece together the historical puzzle of the Land of Israel.” Mr. Katzin was given a certificate of appreciation for good citizenship. At the time, Pope Gregory VIII tried to inspire Western Christians through “great emotional language” to retake Jerusalem from Muslims, but ultimately the Muslim army maintained control of the city, Dr. Cotts said.

LONDON — When President Biden met Prime Minister Boris Johnson at the White House last month, one of Mr. Biden’s advisers passed him a note reminding him to raise the issue of trade tensions over Northern Ireland. It is not clear what Mr. Biden told his British guest, but the president’s interest in Northern Ireland has not diminished since then. In recent days, unprompted, Mr. Biden asked his staff for an update on the negotiations between Britain and the European Union over trade arrangements in Northern Ireland. Mr. Biden’s deep political and familial ties to Ireland set him apart from his predecessor, Donald J. Trump, who was an avid supporter of Brexit and encouraged Mr. Johnson’s tangles with Brussels.

The strength of the U.S. dollar and its role as the world’s reserve currency means that the United States can cut off countries, groups or individuals from much of the global financial system at its discretion. That has intensified efforts to find new ways to evade America’s sanctions, including by using digital currencies that do not flow through the traditional banking system. This year, the Biden administration is on a pace to impose 900 sanctions, which would tie for the third-highest total on record. Last month, the Biden administration cracked down on the growing problem of ransomware attacks, expanding its use of sanctions to cut off digital payment systems that have allowed such criminal activity to flourish and threaten national security.

Robert Haas, a financier who in his 50s used his wealth to go in a markedly different direction, becoming a published aerial photographer, and then in his 60s began collecting vintage and custom-made motorcycles and creating a Texas museum to display them, died on Sept. 28 in a hospital in Dallas. He was 74. The cause was a respiratory illness, said Stacey Mayfield, his companion and the director of the Haas Moto Museum & Sculpture Gallery in Dallas. Mr. Haas, who was known as Bobby, made his fortune in the 1980s.

WASHINGTON — The Food and Drug Administration is planning to allow Americans to receive a different Covid-19 vaccine as a booster than the one they initially received, a move that could reduce the appeal of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine and provide flexibility to doctors and other vaccinators. The study found that recipients of Johnson & Johnson’s single-dose shot who received a Moderna booster saw their antibody levels rise 76-fold in 15 days, compared with only a fourfold increase after an extra dose of Johnson & Johnson. is expected to authorize boosters of the Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines by Wednesday evening; it could allow the mix-and-match approach by then. The agency last month authorized booster shots of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for at least six months after the second dose.

Chris Boshuizen, a co-founder of the satellite data firm Planet, took a ride to the edge of space with Captain Kirk this week on Blue Origin’s second crewed New Shepard launch. The Norwegian government is funding an effort to monitor deforestation using Planet data, an initiative that emerged from a previous UN climate conference. Planet is also preparing to launch two satellites for the NGO Carbon Mapper that will provide real-time methane emission monitoring from space. Sending humans to space teaches a profound lesson about how precious the planet is, but yesterday’s trip underscores that humanity’s most pressing space mission is close to home.

Now, a new study published Oct. 15 in the journal Science, identified a factor external to the individual delivery that has an influence over whether doctors will perform a C-section, or opt for a vaginal delivery: their previous patient’s delivery.“When there are complications in a prior delivery, the physician is more likely to switch to the other mode of delivery for the next patient,” says Singh. Although she clarifies the study didn’t focus on how the previous delivery might influence a doctor’s decision, Singh offers a clue: the obstetrician’s personal comfort with tricky deliveries.“If there is a prior complication in a prior vaginal [delivery], maybe this threshold is lowered just a little, they are slightly more likely to use a Cesarean.” In the opposite direction, a complicated C-section might push the threshold marginally up, making it less likely that the doctor will opt for a surgical delivery.

Being complimented is great, especially if it's on a feature you've worked on, like having shapely calves or a distinct smell of sandalwood and coca butter. But sometimes we get compliments that we don't expect, and they always seem to reveal more about the giver of the compliment than the recipient. Like, if someone tells you that your eyes are so beautiful that they want to pop them out and roll them around in their mouth a few times, you've just learned 3 or 4 other new things. Here are some more of the weirdest compliments people received.

How to Create an Audiobook From Your Existing ArticlesI’m a big believer in utilising your resources as best as you can to work smarter. With that being said, you can probably do a lot more than you think with the existing content you’ve written.

Prior to Apple CEO Tim Cook taking the stage, there were rumors that Apple could be redesigning the Mac mini to be slimmer and more powerful, with more ports than the current model. The last time we saw Apple update the beloved diminutive desktop was last year, where the Mac mini was upgraded from its Intel-based brains to Apple’s in-house M1 processor. Initially rumored to be called the Apple M1x silicon, the upgraded processor was revealed by Apple as the M1 Pro and M1 Max during the event. Given that it is an entirely new product category for Apple, we would expect Apple Glass to have its own special event instead of being lumped into a presentation that’s focused on updates to the Mac and Apple Music.

With a much higher core count, the M1 Max MacBook Pro should offer a big boost to gaming performance compared to the M1. Apple says the M1 Pro with 16 GPU cores offers 2.5x the performance, while the M1 Max with 32 cores offers x the performance. That’s the main problem with a gaming MacBook Pro, though — the games. Gaming is possible, and based on what we know now, the M1 Max should offer some competitive gaming performance.

If you’re torn between purchasing a Microsoft Surface Laptop and a Microsoft Surface Pro 2-in-1 tablet, look to your applications. The Surface Laptop and Surface Pro are each available with a range of options including CPUs, memory, storage, and, in the case of the Surface Laptop, display sizes. The greatest differences between the Microsoft Surface Laptop and the Surface Pro are due to their respective designs. Think of it as a Surface Pro and a Surface Laptop combined.

Here’s how to get the newest AirPods model in your ears as soon as possible: Right now the only retailer offering the new AirPods 3 is the Apple Store itself. In line with their role as an upgrade to the main line of AirPods, they are more expensive than the AirPods 2, which still have a baseline cost of $129, but cheaper than AirPods Pro, which will stay at $249. The AirPods 3 are a total redesign from the AirPods 2. They do give the AirPods Pro a run for their money in terms of features — the AirPods 3 have the same pinch controls Adaptive EQ as the AirPods Pro.

Compared to the Apple M1 chip, Apple claims that the CPU in M1 Pro and M1 Max can deliver up to 70% faster performance. When it comes to battery power on that M1 Max, Apple claims that the GPU delivers performance comparable to a high-end GPU in a compact pro PC laptop, but with 40% less power. Apple claims that you can expect up to 17 hours of battery life for video playback on 14-inch MacBook Pro models — a full 6 hours more than before on 13-inch Apple M1 MacBooks.

It’s been several years since Beats launched its highly popular Powerbeats Pro true wireless earbuds aimed at athletes and workout aficionados, so we can’t help but wonder: Are the teased Beats Fit Pro outed by 9to5mac the replacement for the aging Powerbeats Pro, or an entirely new line of workout-friendly earbuds?As reported by 9to5mac, the as-yet-unannounced Beats earbuds depicted in these photos are the Beats Fit Pro. The Beats Studio Buds were the first Beats products to get a truly Android-friendly implementation and this will apparently continue with the Beast Fit Pro: Quick pairing, battery levels, and custom controls will all be offered via an Android-specific Beats app. There’s no word yet on price, but given that Beats reportedly plans to keep the older Powerbeats Pro in the lineup, we’re guessing the Fit Pro will land between the $150 Studio Buds and the $249 Powerbeats Pro — $200 seems like a safe bet.

The new MacBook Pro looks incredible. That’s where the MacBook Air comes into play, which is $1,000 cheaper than the new MacBook Pro. The old 13-inch MacBook Pro was always one of Apple’s hottest sellers because it attracted the hobbyist or student audience. From the looks of it, Apple has finally made the MacBook Pro a true “Pro” laptop.

ExpressVPN shows up on a number of best VPN lists, including our list of the best VPN for Linux and the best VPN for Windows, so its relatively high prices seem justified. CyberGhost VPN is compatible with computers, mobile devices, smart TVs, and even gaming consoles, and one great feature of the VPN is that it will automatically connect you to the best server for whatever you’re doing at the moment. Like NordVPN, PureVPN features split tunneling that allows you to whitelist certain activities you don’t need or want to go through the VPN, allowing you to use online services and browse the web through the VPN and on the clearnet simultaneously. We tested Private Internet Access using its Windows installer, which configures the VPN protocols and provides a simple utility in the taskbar to turn the VPN connection on and off.

In the overlay text of the video, @beccabee123…4 (who posted the TikTok) wrote that the people shown in the video also presented their IDs so that they could check in for their reservation. According to @beccabee123…4, the deaf people were “sent away” and Sleep Inn and Suites called the police. The TikTok’s top comment—from @byrdman2018—notes that the actions of Sleep Inn and Suites employees are a “clear violation” of the American’s Disabilities Act. The Sleep Inn from the viral video declined to comment.

More COVID-19 booster shots may be on the way -- but when it's your turn, you'll get an extra dose of the original vaccine, not one updated to better match the extra-contagious delta variant. The simple answer: The FDA last month OK'd extra doses of Pfizer's original recipe after studies showed it still works well enough against delta -- and those doses could be rolled out right away. Studies show an extra dose of the original formulas revs up virus-fighting antibodies that fend off infection, including antibodies that target delta. Now the companies have studies underway of fully vaccinated people who agreed to test a booster dose tweaked to match delta.

(Reuters) - American Express Co will allow to work from anywhere they want for up to four weeks a year, Chief Executive Officer Stephen Squeri said in a memo to staff on Monday. Adopting a more relaxed stance on work-from-home than most of the big U.S. banks, AmEx has divided staffers into hybrid, onsite and fully virtual categories. Most of the hybrid model staffers must work from office two days a week, it said, while onsite workers will come in for four to five days. in the fully virtual category can continue to work from home.

What is the metaverse?Some people also use the word metaverse to describe gaming worlds, in which users have a character that can walk around and interact with other players. Many science fiction books and films are set in fully-fledged metaverses — alternative digital worlds which are indistinguishable from the real physical world. The idea of the metaverse is that it will create online spaces in which people’s interactions can be more multi-dimensional, where users are able to immerse themselves in digital content rather than simply viewing it.

China’s hit its slowest pace of growth in a year in the third quarter, hurt by power shortages and wobbles in the property sector, highlighting the challenge facing policymakers as they seek to prop up a faltering recovery while reining in the real estate sector. Gross domestic product expanded 4.9 per cent from a year ago, missing forecasts, as attempts by Beijing to curb lending to the property sector exacerbated the fallout from electricity shortages which sent factory output back to levels last seen in early 2020, when heavy Covid-19 curbs were in place. Home sales by value tumbled 16.9 per cent in September from a year earlier, following a 19.7 per cent drop in August, according to Bloomberg calculations based on National Bureau of Statistics’ data. Real estate investment slid for the first time since the onset of Covid shut swathes of the at the start of last year, down 3.5 per cent from a year earlier, calculations show.
