“I think there is definitely a potential for the laws that the EU passed to have a ripple effect around the world, including here in the US. However, I don’t think that the US will pass aggressive laws soon,” Ben Michael, attorney at Michael and Associates, told Lifewire via email. “Though antitrust reform has had bipartisan support, there are still a handful of concerns that will prevent any major moves from happening,” added Michael....
The proposal moved by FCC Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel comes in light of recent data breaches and seeks to overhaul the current rules given the increased frequency, sophistication, and scale of the data leaks. “The FCC’s new proposals are a step in the right direction,” Jack Chapman, VP of Threat Intelligence with security vendor Egress, told Lifewire over email. “[They’ll] strengthen protection for data subjects and improve transparency between carriers, consumers, and the regulator itself, which should help to support the rights of data subjects in the current threat landscape....

To build a legendary Monster Legends team, you want to become proficient at breeding monsters.

But I was so wrong. The OnePlus 9 Pro, starting at $970, and its less-expensive sibling, the standard OnePlus 9, offer incredible speed, eye-pleasingly-good screens, and beautiful designs. The screens were the first thing to catch my eye. The colors are far more vivid than on the iPhone, and the screen seemed brighter, as well. Refreshingly Different Screens I didn’t think the 120 HZ refresh rate would make much of a difference because I don’t play many games, and watching videos on the phone seems ridiculous with such a small screen....
Many of us complain that our smartphones are super distracting, that we pick them up to, say, quickly change the song and then emerge 30 minutes later from a Twitter/Facebook/special-interest forum rabbit hole. And yet few of us do anything about it, and that’s partly because the alternatives have been so lame. But Nokia’s 5710 XpressAudio is lame in name only. It’s the candy bar phone for people who hate smartphones....
Both the Pixel 3 and the Pixel 3 XL will receive one final update from Google in the first quarter of 2022.

They’ve also since passed by their final guaranteed updates date of October 2021. However, according to Android Police, the Pixel 3 and 3XL will get one last “sunset” update in early 2022....
The company just launched its Seoul earbuds, wireless earphones made for mobile and console gaming applications. Urbanista says the sound quality here is on par with larger pairs of gaming headphones, just with a much tinier form factor. Another major boon for gamers here is latency. The Seoul earbuds boast a latency of 70 ms, which is a bit longer than some of the higher-grade gaming headphones out there, but still within that sweet spot of 40 to 80 ms....

So, what’s the real story? Who Is Noah Glass? After working at Industrial Light and Magic, Glass was a co-founder of Odeo, the failed podcasting company that formed an unlikely bridge to Twitter. Odeo CEO Ev Williams put Glass in charge of the social messaging project Jack Dorsey and Biz Stone were instrumental in conceiving. Glass undertook the assignment with a passion as a true believer in Twitter’s potential. But, by 2006, when the social media platform launched, Williams fired him....

Whether it’s annoying bugs and glitches or total CAD system crashes, there’s always one person who seems to know how to fix the issues.

Panic Buttons Are Faster Than Cell Phones Panic buttons need to be small, wireless, and easily accessible to be useful to everyone. They can activate an audible or silent alarm as soon as an intruder or threat is encountered. Although dialing the emergency number is easy on a cell phone, it takes some time to place the call and can alert an intruder. Panic buttons are often kept in a convenient pocket, on a belt loop, or even around the neck, and a single push initiates the call for help....
