[ad_1] The teaser also gives a peek at the “new look” animation style, which ultimately boils down to cel-shaded CG but fits well with larger-than-life battling robots. On that note, you can expect plenty of fights — Rooster Teeth and Polygon Pictures haven’t forgotten one of the reasons why kids (and curious adults) latched on […]

[ad_1] The Alliance will push for governments to adopt high-altitude internet, of course, but it’ll also work on a cooperative environment with common specs and standards. The aim is ultimately to create a single “compelling message” to sell the concept, even if the individual companies end up competing with each other. This comes roughly 10 […]

[ad_1] The new terms also cover Chrome, Chrome OS and Google Drive. Google also isn’t taking any chances and stresses that it’s neither changing the privacy policy nor asking for restrictions on your legal rights.

[ad_1] You won’t want to count on these invitations leaving the web, either. A WhatsApp spokesperson asserted these links were shared in “searchable, public channels,” and that people who want to keep links private shouldn’t share them on publicly reachable sites. Google’s public search liaison, Danny Sullivan, reiterated this by saying it was “no different” […]

[ad_1] Tetrad responded relatively quickly. UpGuard said it found and notified Tetrad of the exposure on February 3rd, and a back-and-forth led to the data being locked down on February 10th. It’s not certain whether anyone besides UpGuard or Tetrad accessed the data, however. The findings underscore one of the problems with collecting data on […]

[ad_1] It’s not surprising that people are trying to sell products on dubious claims relating to the coronavirus, or COVID-19, outbreak. According to CNBC, sellers are peddling books on the virus and vitamin C sales have increased due to false statements that it is a cure. It’s good to see that Amazon is doing what […]
