Representative Ken Weyler, who has served in the state House for 30 years, recently sent his congressional colleagues a discredited, false report full of conspiracy theories, according to NHPR. The report said that COVID-19 deaths had been caused by plotters in Vatican City, Washington D.C. and London. It also claimed that COVID-19 vaccines include “living organism(s) with tentacles.” The three main COVID-19 vaccines don’t contain living organisms. They only contain sugars, acids, acid stabilizers, fats and messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA)....

Karl Eversmeyer, a GOP candidate running for township committee in Westampton, faced allegations of racism and calls to drop out of the race after the emergence of the photos. However, the 33-year-old defended his actions and said he still intends to run. Burlington County Republican Committee also announced it was withdrawing its support for the candidate. “It is being demanded that I drop out of the race over a Halloween costume in 2009 when I dressed up as Kanye West,” Eversmeyer wrote in a public statement on Facebook....

The Columbia Journalism Review published a lengthy article in its last issue profiling Bill Roggio, a U.S.-based military blogger who’s set up his own media operation aimed at reporting on terrorism and “small wars” beyond what the mainstream media can do. Before the piece gets to Roggio, the intro takes a look at the gap military blogs aim to fill: Army veteran Roggio first started blogging about the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to put the events in perspective for his family....

This week, Native Union announced its Belt Cable Duo, a hammerhead cable that can charge almost any device. The absurd thing is that a basic USB-C cable could do the same job for all your devices except your iPhone and maybe an older iPad. It’s a neat illustration of what happens when “innovation” is allowed to run unchecked by the consumer protections provided by law. “Big tech companies often have a significant amount of power and influence, and it is important for governments to ensure that they are acting in the best interests of consumers and society as a whole,” social website operator and startup founder Brandon Mackie told Lifewire via email....

Microsoft’s New Meeting Breaks in Outlook. As reported on Microsoft WorkLab, the company wants to help everyone visit the restroom or make themselves a cup of tea or coffee before the next meeting. Previously, Outlook took an approach that allowed organizers to make meetings start and end on the hour. It made sense at the time because if someone wants to host an hour-long meeting, they typically set it on the hour and have it end on the hour....

Slated to take place at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, the event is most likely to unveil the new iPhone- one that might not be called iPhone 5! The invitation sent out by Apple has a white background with 12 number written in black, which casts a faint, shadowy number 5 so maybe it is called iPhone 5 or it just emphasized the fact that it is the 5th iPhone by Apple....

Zao’s original privacy policy stated the app’s owners would have “free, irrevocable, permanent, transferable, and relicense-able” rights to all the images users upload and the content made with them. It has since been updated to say it will not use any of the content for anything but improving the app. Bloomberg also said that if users delete content from the app, it’s now removed from Zao’s servers. The issues came to light after a claim Monday from the China E-Commerce Research Center that suggested the app “violates certain laws and standards set by the nation and the industry”....

As of 1 March 2021, energy ratings have changed and you’ll notice that, when you shop for a fridge, freezer, wine cooler, washing machine, washer-dryer or dishwasher, it’s now rated differently. Why are energy ratings changing? Around 20 years ago, a new system of labelling major appliances was introduced. It gave every appliance a category from A to F to show how energy efficient it was. A was the top category and F the lowest, but as appliances became more energy efficient, they started to cluster at the top of the category settings and very few appliances were actually rated F....

Interestingly, the Android Auto UI itself is already expected to get replaced by the upcoming Assistant Driving Mode. Thus, it does seem bizarre Google is bringing in almost the same concept as the old one to Google Maps and that too after much wait and delay. Google Maps users have already seen the music and playback control features, however it would be the first they will have Android Auto like buttons on their navigation screen on Google Maps....

This feature is long overdue from one of the best TV streaming services (opens in new tab) out there, but the change has been rolled out to make the Netflix (opens in new tab) streaming experience more convenient for app users.

A study from the University of Otago in New Zealand revealed that getting good quality sleep, followed by frequent exercising, and consuming plenty of fruits and vegetables, are key to mental health and wellbeing. While the study involved young adults aged 18-25, the wider implications are relevant to all of us. Surveying more than 1,100 people aged 18-25 across the United States and New Zealand, researchers collected data on what they describe as the three pillars of good health: sleep, exercise, and diet....

The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini are the most noticeable improvements here. Both feature a smaller notch at the top of the screen, repositioned rear-cameras, as well as far better performance. The notch is 20% smaller than previously which soon adds up. Paired up with that is a new Super Retina XDR display that’s 28% brighter courtesy of 1200 nits peak brightness. Both the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini use a new A15 Bionic chip for processing which Apple reckons will offer a 50% faster CPU than the competition and 30% faster GPU....
