After Donald Trump got canned from virtually every major social media site, conservative pundits and personalities urged the MAGA crowd towards a mass exodus to so-called “alt-tech” venues promising freedom from a supposed plague of left-wing censorship. This hasn’t worked out quite as well as planned, according to…

People with diabetes have more than a few hassles, particularly at meals. They not only have to measure their blood glucose levels and inject the right amount of insulin, but carry all the relevant equipment with them. MIT and Brigham and Women’s Hospital researchers might soon eliminate many of the headaches, though. They’re developing all-in-one devices (not pictured) that measure glucose, calculate the necessary insulin dose and inject you accordingly.
The first device includes the blood-drawing lancet, glucose test strips and an insulin needle. Users would first take a photo of their meal using a smartphone app to estimate the food volume and carbohydrate levels. After that, they’d start the automated process of collecting blood, calculating glucose (again through the app) and delivering the appropriate amount of insulin.
The second gadget would only need one needle jab — it would build the glucose sensor into the insulin needle and inject the appropriate amount of insulin. You’d have to wait five to ten seconds, but you wouldn’t have to stick yourself twice.
The technology is still some ways off. While the first device would use parts that were already FDA-approved, it hasn’t been tested in humans. The second, meanwhile, uses a new sensor type that will likely require more work to be testable with humans. Scientists have filed patents for both devices and are hoping to work with companies on further development.
There’s a strong motivation to bring these devices to market, at least. People with diabetes would only need to use one device at meals, and with the hybrid sensor/needle might suffer less pain. That, in turn, could encourage consistent treatment that improves your overall wellbeing.
A band of cybercriminals recently hacked the Red Cross—one of the world’s most well-known charities—in an effort to steal sensitive location and contact information on approximately half a million “highly vulnerable” people.

The view from your couch will look a little more like sitting courtside in the days to come, as Streamable reports on Thursday that YouTube TV will begin offering select NBA matchups in 4K.
The only, ahem, hoop viewers will need to get through in order to watch is having a YouTube TV subscription with the 4K Plus add-on. YTTV on its own is $65 a month, the 4K add-on will set you back an additional $12/mo for the first year before nearly doubling, up to $20/month thereafter. Not every game will be made available in the high definition format though Saturday’s game between the Cavs and Thunder will.
