It has been more than a year since Apple refreshed their 12-inch MacBook laptops. However it seems that we could be getting closer to an announcement because according to reports, it appears that some retailers are running low on stock on the laptop, suggesting that they could be winding down their orders for the current-gen model in anticipation of the refresh.

Not much is known about the 12-inch MacBook’s refresh for now as the focus seems to have been on Apple’s MacBook Pros (which has since been announced), as well as the MacBook Air, which some seemed to believe at the start could be replaced by the 12-inch MacBook lineup (that has yet to happen).

However there is a good chance that whatever refreshes the MacBook Air is getting, the 12-inch MacBook will get as well. We also have to wonder whether or not the new butterfly keyboard mechanism from the 2018 MacBook Pro will find its way into the MacBooks given how thin it is, but hopefully it will.

Apple will be announcing their new iPhones at an event that will most likely be scheduled for September. The Cupertino company will most likely not announce new Mac computers then, which means that the refresh announcement (if there is one at all) will probably happen in October. That being said if you are considering a new MacBook laptop, it might be a good idea to hold off for a few months if you have no immediate need for one.

It’s no secret that lawmakers and agencies in the United States view Huawei and ZTE products as security threats to the United States. There have been repeated calls to ensure that their products aren’t used by government officials. President Trump has now signed a law banning the U.S. government and government contractors from using devices made by these two Chinese manufacturers.

The ban is a part of the broader Defense Authorization Act that has been signed into law today by President Trump. It will see Huawei and ZTE devices largely being banned from the corridors of power.

This ban will go into effect over the next two years. It will not allow the U.S. government or any contractor that wants to work with the country’s government to use products from Huawei, ZTE, and some other Chinese companies.

The ban is extended to the use of Huawei and ZTE services or components which are “critical” or “essential” to the system they’re being used in. Some components from the two companies are still allowed but the limitation is that they can’t be used to view or route data.

Huawei has responded to the ban, saying that it’s a “random addition” to the defense bill and that it’s “ineffective, misguided, and unconstitutional.” The company also added that it has failed to identify real security risks associated with these products.

The account celebrated fascism, supported other neo-Nazi brands and took clothing orders.

Kiera Bergman’s disappearance is “unique,” an investigator said.

Videos games are an expensive hobby, often demanding a great deal of trust whenever you buy a new one. Buying a game winds up being a number of things. A purchase is a gamble. It’s an encouragement. It’s a participation in exploitation. And it’s a conversation with the many people who brought you the game.
