Avant le lancement de l' Apple Watch 7 l’an dernier, de nombreuses fuites laissaient entendre que la montre connectée bénéficierait d’une mise à jour conceptuelle, avec un écran et des côtés plats. Une rumeur qui est tombée dans le panier d’à côté puisque l'Apple Watch 7 a conservé un aspect résolument classique et familier pour les habitués des smartwatches Apple. Il semblerait néanmoins que ces bruits de couloir n’étaient pas tout à fait erronés, en revanche ils ne concernaient pas le bon modèle. En effet, selon le leaker ShrimpApplePro , une des prochaines Apple Watches (probablement l'Apple Watch 8) disposera d’un écran plat. Une information qui est relayée par Jon Prosser, une source d’information majeure pour tout ce qui a attrait au catalogue de production Apple. Prosser affirme que les visuels non officiels - qu'il a lui-même partagés l’an dernier - se basaient sur un concept interne de la société, de ses yeux vu. Il apparaît donc certain qu'Apple a développé ou … [Read more...] about Le design de l’Apple Watch 8 promet de surprendre, même si vous en avez déjà entendu parler

Report: Teachers Union Urges Members to Not Post Spring Break Pics
United Teachers Los Angeles (UTLA) — the second-largest local teachers union in the country — urged members not to post spring break travel photos that could undermine its position that schools should remain closed, according to screenshots published by a local news reporter. In a purported private Facebook group of union members, an activist appears to warn members not to rub pictures in the faces of frustrated parents: NEW: In a leaked post from a private Facebook group for UTLA union members only, teachers are warned not to post on social media if they go on spring break vacations because the optics would be bad for them while UTLA is refusing to return to "unsafe" in-person schooling @FOXLA pic.twitter.com/KxQc7k450T — Bill Melugin (@BillFOXLA) March 9, 2021 “Friendly reminder,” the alleged post, exposed by Bill Melugin of Fox LA, began, “If you are planning any trips for Spring Break, please keep that off social media.

Teachers Union Leader Resists Schools Reopening from Island Vacation
A leader of the Chicago Teachers Union (CTU) wants kids to remain out of the classroom because schools are “unsafe,” but she made the claims in the midst of a sunny vacation in Puerto Rico. Sarah Chambers, who WGN said is on the union’s executive board and an area vice president and claimed she “led four strikes,” is opposed to schools returning to in-person learning on Monday. Chambers made several posts on Twitter this week attacking the plan. “Just a few hours earlier, Chambers posted a picture on Instagram that appears to show her pool side in Puerto Rico and talking about going to Old San Juan for seafood,” WGN reported. In a post on Instagram — on an account that has now been made private — Chambers wrote, “Spending the last day of 2020 by the poolside. We have the whole pool to ourselves. Then, we are going to old San Juan to get some yummy seafood mofongo.” On Twitter, Chambers identified herself as a “socialist.” “We have an entire private Airbnb house to … [Read more...] about Teachers Union Leader Resists Schools Reopening from Island Vacation
Texas social media law will cause “chaos” online, Supreme Court is told
More than two dozen groups have urged the US Supreme Court to block a Texas law that prohibits large social media companies from moderating content based on a user's "viewpoint." The Texas law, HB20 , "results in blatant violations of the First Amendment rights of platform providers," said a Supreme Court brief filed yesterday . The law taking effect means that "chaos will ensue online with disastrous and irreparable consequences," the brief said, continuing: With platforms unable to effectively moderate scammers, messages preying on vulnerable populations, including the elderly, will proliferate online. The uptick of this content will predictably result in yet more people being tricked into sending money to scammers or disclosing financial information, leading to identity theft and financial ruin. Platforms will be powerless to regulate speech praising terrorists and those who engage in murderous campaigns, with horrendous potential ramifications if even a single person … [Read more...] about Texas social media law will cause “chaos” online, Supreme Court is told
Robinhood developing non-custodial crypto wallet launching later this year
A little over a month after Robinhood publicly released its first crypto wallet , the company has announced it’s working on a second. The new wallet will be non-custodial, giving users sole custody over the private keys necessary to control their money on the blockchain. That means users won’t be dependent on Robinhood if the system fails but will also risk losing their funds entirely if they misplace the private key. Robinhood says the new wallet will be offered as a standalone app but hopes that it will “feature the same simple and accessible design” as its main service. The wallet will offer the ability to store and trade cryptocurrencies, including many not available through the main Robinhood app with “no network fees” and will support NFTs and DeFi (decentralized finance) protocols. Although Robinhood is best known as an equities trading platform connected with last year’s meme stock trading frenzy , cryptocurrency purchases have become an increasingly important part of … [Read more...] about Robinhood developing non-custodial crypto wallet launching later this year
