Delete LinkedIn — you’ll have zero fucking regrets

I deleted LinkedIn this week. I am enjoying a refreshing break from SEO and VA business development managers who want to connect in the name of synergy. From work/life coaches who “just want to ask me one question.” And from copy-paste content written by wannabe rockstar recruiters about the various times they either turned someone down or gave them a job on the spot. I’ve been focusing on reducing the... Read more â€ș

Watch the Rivian R1T dominate off-road terrain in eerie silence

Rivian is one of the most hotly anticipated electric vehicle upstarts of the moment. However, because of how the global pandemic slowed production, we’re having to wait a little longer before we can get a real-world look at its vehicles. Until now! Over the past week, RJ Scaringe, the boss of Amazon-backed Rivian, has posted a series of short videos to his Twitter account which show a couple of Rivian... Read more â€ș

Here’s why Facebook users in Australia can’t see news in their News Feed anymore

Facebook said today that it won’t let publishers in Australia post their content on its platform, which means people in the country won’t be able to see or share news and other kinds of articles from outlets there. This move comes after Australia proposed a law that required big tech — especially Facebook and Google —to pay publishers for the privilege of displaying content from third parties on their digital...

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD arrives on the Switch this summer

Most of us watching the Nintendo Direct today were hoping for news about ‘Breath of the Wild 2,’ only to be disappointed to learn we’d have to wait longer — series producer Eiji Aonuma said we’d hear some actual news later this year. That’s something, I guess. Still, for the real Zelda fans out there, there was one bit of welcome news: an HD port of The Legend of Zelda:... Read more â€ș

This startup is using AI to eradicate malaria

Nearly half the world’s population is at risk of malaria. The World Health Organization estimates that the disease killed more than 400,000 people in 2019.

The company’s tech focuses on larviciding, a method of treating the water bodies in which the insects breed. In conventional operations, fieldworkers can easily miss some of the... Read more â€ș

I’m an Iraq War veteran and a hardcore wargamer. Here’s what’s wrong with ‘Six Days In Fallujah’

I thought the controversial first-person survival/shooter game Six Days in Fallujah was dead over a decade ago. At the time, I felt its cancellation was good riddance to bad rubbish. But today I learned it’s back on schedule for a 2021 release. My complete disdain for this title has a bit more nuance today. I enlisted in the US Navy exactly 21 years ago today, on 17 February 2000. I... Read more â€ș

World’s fastest computer gives birth to tsunami-predicting AI

Scientists have used the world’s fastest supercomputer to develop an AI tool that predicts tsunami flooding in almost real-time. The system was created by researchers in Japan, one of the most seismically active areas in the world. Tsunamis have occurred so frequently in the archipelago’s history that the Japanese invented a word to describe the phenomenon: “tsu” meaning harbour, and “nami” meaning wave. In 2011, the country was hit by... Read more â€ș

A love letter to my Netgear router, the gorgeous Nighthawk RAX120

When lockdown happened and the world burst into chaos, there was at least one thing I could rely on: my home network. Sad? You betcha.

Not sure at who, really, but someone.  Yes, I am a man in love with a router: the Nighthawk RAX120. Let me spin you a tale.... Read more â€ș

TLDR: LingvaNex Translator takes language translation to another level, translating text, voice recordings, even foreign words in an image in more than 112 different languages. It’s a very kumbaya, new-agey, John-Lennon-singing-Imagine kind of thought

How data science can help you find your ideal house at an affordable price

I have always been envious of some professionals that with their know-how may have an impact on day-to-day life. Think about a plumber, a dentist, or a chef: their skills and qualifications are nice perks to have, not only at work. As a Data Scientist and Software Engineer, the advantages are usually less tangible; yes, I know how to deal with technology, but my job usually leans towards the business... Read more â€ș

Anyway, there was one thing that particularly grabbed me: the new iOS headphone emoji being a pair of AirPods Max. If you’re unaware, the AirPods Max are Apple’s new over-ear headphones.
