Trump’s actions on the day of the U.S. Capitol riot are not protected as part of his official duties because they focused on his effort to keep power, the judge ruled.
The Department of Justice rested its case Friday after hearing witnesses testify in the federal hate crimes trial of the three men who killed Ahmaud Arbery.
For some people who are suffering from diabetes, they will need to inject themselves with insulin from time to time. Insulin can be delivered in a couple of different ways, one of which is through an injection pen, and the other is through an insulin pump which can be worn on the body.
Those using an insulin pump would typically need to program in their bolus dose at meal times through the pump itself, but the good news is that the FDA has since announced that they have approved an app for iOS and Android devices that would allow them to control insulin pumps through a smartphone.
The app, t:connect, will be used together with the t:slim X2 insulin pump by Tandem Diabetes Care. Through the app, users will be able to program and cancel bolus insulin doses through their phones. Prior to this, the app only allowed users to view pump information like the last 24 hours of glucose trends, pump status changes, and therapy data, but now users will be able to control it.
For those who use an insulin pump and are looking for a more connected model, Tandem Diabetes Care actually has a simulator app that lets you virtually “try” their pump where you can check out the interface and its features.

If there’s one annoying thing about printers is that a lot of printer makers usually implement features that almost make it a requirement that you use their printer cartridges otherwise you might encounter errors when trying to print. Now it seems that Dymo is taking things one step further by adding DRM to their printer paper.
Yes, you read that right. According to activist Cory Doctorow who published an article on the EFF, it appears that Dymo is now adding RFID readers into its latest label printers. This means that when users try to print labels with the device, it will be able to detect if you’re using third-party labels.
According to Doctorow, “The new label rolls come with a booby-trap. A RFID-equipped microcontroller that authenticates with your label-maker to attest that you bought Dymo’s premium-priced labels and not a competitor’s. The chip counts down the labels as you print them (so you can’t transplant it to a generic label roll).”
If you’ve always bought Dymo’s labels to begin with, we suppose this isn’t really an issue, but for those who feel that this essentially locks them out of other potential cheaper alternative labels, then perhaps you might be better off using a different brand of label printer instead.

Back in the day, some forms of entertainment that parents could take away from their kids would be stopping them from going out with their friends or stopping them from watching TV. These days, it’s become a bit more complicated with smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, and the thing that connects them all, the internet.
However, over in France, a dad thought that he might have an ingenious idea on how to stop his kids from going online, and that is by using a signal jammer to try and knock the internet out in his home. Unfortunately, it turns out that the jammer might have been a bit too effective because it ended up knocking out an entire town’s internet.
Authorities were alerted when a carrier reported the issue to the Agence nationale des fréquences (ANFR), where it was discovered that a signal jammer was being used to block radio frequencies in the town. A technician later managed to trace the jamming signal to a house in the neighboring town, where the dad admitted purchasing the device online and using it.
According to the ANFR’s report, “The explanation was disconcertingly simple: the jammer had been installed by the father of the family to prevent his teenagers from accessing the internet with their smartphone instead of falling asleep! His children had indeed become addicted to social networks and other applications, in particular since the confinement imposed due to the epidemic of Covid-19.”
The authorities have since seized the device and unfortunately for the man, he is now facing potential jail time and a hefty fine as a result of his actions.

Now’s your chance to see how three of the highest-end performance EVs fare in a straight-line brawl. DragTimes has followed its previous Lucid-versus-Tesla match (among others) with a three-way drag race between the Tesla Model S Plaid, Lucid Air Dream Edition and Porsche Taycan Turbo S. As you can see in the video below, horsepower only matters to a degree — and the outcome doesn’t tell the whole story about any of these cars.
It might not surprise you to hear the Model S Plaid emerged triumphant. Tesla’s premium sedan comfortably won all three races, pulling solidly ahead of the Lucid Air and even further ahead of the Taycan. The 1,111HP Air has the most horsepower of the bunch, but its heavier body (about 5,200lbs versus the Plaid’s 4,828lbs) requires more effort to move. The Taycan didn’t stand a chance — its 750HP output and roughly 5,300-pound weight were certain to put it behind the pack.
Power-to-weight ratios weren’t everything, however. The Air’s performance may be more impressive than it looks, as it doesn’t have a launch mode. And, as many an enthusiast will point out, a drag race isn’t the sole benchmark of a car’s performance. It’s no secret the Taycan is one of the better-handling EVs in its class, and it might be your pick if you’re more likely to drive a twisty mountain road than a quarter-mile. This is just a reminder that no one upscale electric sedan can do everything well.

The Center for Disease Control released a study yesterday that the 2021 Anime NYC convention was not a superspreader event, despite the attendance of one of the first known people in the U.S. to have been infected with the Omicron variant of the coronavirus.
