“This is not a loss, again, I don’t want to claim it is a loss, this was a win.”
Biden references a long-running Trump joke.
Astrophysicists from Stanford have reported the first detection of light coming from behind a black hole. The detection of light fulfills a prediction made by Einstein’s theory of general relativity. Researchers observed a series of bright flares of x-rays, which weren’t unexpected. What was unexpected was that the telescopes recorded additional flashes of x-rays that were smaller, later, and of … Continue reading
If you have an older Amazon Kindle with 3G internet, take note that you may not be able to wirelessly access and download new content anymore starting in December. As The Verge reports, Amazon has sent out emails to owners with old Kindles, telling them that previous-generation devices will lose internet access after mobile operators transition from 2G and 3G networks to 4G and 5G.
The e-commerce giant listed the particular devices that will be affected by the switch in its FAQ page. It noted that the first- and second-generation Kindles, as well as the Kindle DX, won’t be able to connect to the internet at all since they don’t have WiFi connectivity to fall back on. The other devices in the list are the Kindle Keyboard (3rd Generation), Kindle Touch (4th Generation), Kindle Paperwhite (5th, 6th and 7th Generation), Kindle Voyage (7th Generation) and Kindle Oasis (8th Generation), all of which have WiFi connection.
You’ll still be able to access your books on an older device and can do wired transfers if you want, though. And if you have a newer 4G or WiFi-only Kindle, you won’t be affected at all. In its email, Amazon included a code customers can use to get $50 off a new Kindle Paperwhite or Oasis, along with $15 in eBook credits. You may want to check your inbox to see if you got the company’s notice in case you’ve been looking to upgrade anyway.

Google is banning 'sugar daddy' apps as part of new sexual content restrictions
Posted in: Today's ChiliThe term “sugar daddy” entered the lexicon in force back in 2015 when a massive data breach exposed a list of clients on the dating app Ashley Madison. Now, we’re hearing about it again via Google’s latest Play store policy update, as Android Police has reported. As part of new restrictions on sexual content, it’s banning what it calls “compensated sexual relationships (i.e. sugar dating),” effective September 1st, 2021.
If you weren’t aware, a “sugar daddy” is someone (a wealthy, older man, usually) who is willing to spend money in exchange for sexual favors. A quick scan shows that there are plenty of sugar daddy style apps on Play, including a number that are literally called “Sugar Daddy.” Others have names like Elite Millionaire Singles, SeekingArrangement and Spoil.
Spoil spells it out pretty clearly, as PhoneArena notes. “Here you can find other wealthy sugar daddies who are looking for a discreet arrangement, and you can also meet other attractive girls who are looking for generous men,” the description reads. Presumably, this app and all the others will be removed by September 1st, though as with any other Android app, they would still be available via sideloading.
