The forgotten pioneers of computer animation
[ad_1] The short-lived show followed a fictional war between two insect races: the heroic and brightly colored Joyces, and the evil and monochromatic Beurks.

Tesla will let you customize your car’s horn and movement sounds
[ad_1] Musk added that he “will consider” allowing custom upload sounds, although we can imagine that being problematic if drivers decide their horns should blare colorful language. Tesla might also be bound by regional requirements for specific movement sounds to alert pedestrians. You might not have to wait if you’re determined to get a Monty […]

It also disputed Apple’s statement that it removed Blue Mail from the Mac App Store for supposedly copying another program, […]
EU grills Facebook over Libra’s financial and privacy risks
[ad_1] The questioning is part of a larger EU effort to determine if and how Libra should be regulated, provided it’s even allowed to operate in the region.
