If you never thought a steam iron—yes, you read that right—could deliver a stellar performance of the iconic Ghostbusters theme song, you’re in for quite a treat this Halloween.
Austria’s Klimaticket, the nation’s $3.50 per day, go-anywhere pass to combat climate change, went live this week, CNN reports. The ticket is valid for all publicly and privately operated rail, metro, and bus networks throughout the nation, and with a price tag of $1,265 (€1,095) for an annual pass, the cost works out…
The testimony would go against the school’s interest by conflicting with the administration of Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Baldwin added that he is in favor of limiting the use of firearms on set after the fatal accidental shooting.
NASA’s Juno probe has provided a better, deeper look at Jupiter’s atmosphere. Researchers have produced the first 3D view of Jupiter’s atmospheric layers, illustrating how its turbulent clouds and storms work in greater detail than before. Most notably, it’s clearer how cyclones and anticyclones behave. They’re much taller than expected, with the Great Red Spot (an anticyclone) running 200 miles deep. They’re either warmer or colder at the top depending on their spin, too.
Juno helped fill out the data using a microwave radiometer that offered a peek below the clouds’ surfaces. For the Great Red Spot, the team complemented the radiometer data with the gravity signatures from two close passes. The radiometer info also showed Earth-like circulation cells in northern and souther hemispheres, not to mention ocean-like changes in microwave light.
There are still mysteries left, such as the atmospheric mass of the Great Red Spot. With that said, the 3D imagery is already producing a more cohesive picture of how jovian planets like Jupiter behave. It might not take much more effort to solve more of Jupiter’s mysteries.
In a rare preemptive move to crack down on misinformation before it goes viral, Meta, the tech giant formerly known as Facebook, is partnering with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevent and the World Health Organization to take down harmful content related to the coronavirus vaccine and its effects on children.…

Fort Monmouth was officially shut down by the US government in 2011. … Continue reading
You’ll have to go large if you want an Intel-powered Mac desktop. 9to5Macreports Apple has quietly discontinued the 21.5-inch iMac about half a year after introducing the M1 model. The company had been selling a lone dual-core model for $1,099 through a relatively hard-to-find page, but YouTube Tech God noticed that it disappeared sometime on October 29th.
We’ve asked Apple for comment on the move. The company has a long history of keeping legacy Macs around for a while before silently dropping them, but it seldom elaborates on those decisions. A notable exception came in March this year, when Apple confirmed it was winding down iMac Pro sales.
This won’t thrill educational customers that may still want the 21.5-inch iMac for its relatively low price, small size and legacy ports. You’ll have to buy at least a 27-inch iMac or a $1,099 legacy Mac mini if you’re not ready to leap to Apple Silicon. This does signal Apple’s confidence in its processors, though — it clearly believes its mainstream desktop customers are ready to make the switch.
You wouldn’t think that Fortnite would be the place you go to if you wanted to see hot millennial versions of the classic Universal Monsters, but anything’s possible in 2021.
