Which Apple devices will be launched on September 14? iPhone 13 , Apple Watch Series 7, and AirPods  

 

 

Apple’s major event is happening on September 14, 2021, but don’t worry if you haven’t received an invite. On Tuesday, the tech giant confirmed that the event would be live streamed. Although, as usual, Apple has made no mention of the new devices that would be launched, ma experts and analysts believe that the iPhone 13 will be showcased at the event, as it is generally released in a fall event at Cupertino.

 

A video of a neon Apple logo was released against a mountain landscape with 9.14 also appearing in front of the valley between the mountains. The invite said “We’re California Streaming on September 14th. See you real soon. #AppleEvent. The timing of the virtual event, due to the pandemic, will be 10 a.m. PT, 1 p.m. ET and 6 p.m. BT.

 

Although it is  only a few days wait ahead for the potential release of an iPhone 13, there are many new features that are expected to be unveiled in this phone. These have been discussed in many forums and articles and it remains to be seen how many of them form a part of the iPhone 13.

 

Some of the expected and anticipated features include

 

  • improvements in the camera feature
  • faster refresh rates
  • satellite communications technology.

 

Apple’s upgrading operating system the iOS 15 is expected to bring in a plethora of improvements such as

 

  • improved Maps
  • sharing and watching videos together on FaceTime
  • uploading driver’s license on Apple Wallet in select states
  • child protection feature.

 

The Cupertino tech giant is also expected to launch Apple Watch Series 7 with the following features

White House removes Trump Appointees from Military Academy Boards through resignations or dismissals

0

 

On Wednesday, White House officials said that they have removed several administrative appointees from the Trump administration. These people had been given posts on advisory boards of military service academies in the U.S. They were asked to resign, failing which they would be forced out from their positions.

 

A total of eighteen Trump appointees were asked to leave. Some of them posted screenshots of the letter,   which said that they had to resign by 6 p.m., barring which they would be dismissed from their positions, on social media. The letter was sent by the White House.

 

Some of the prominent appointees include the following:

 

  • Kellyanne Conway – former president Trump’s counselor
  • Sean Spicer – former president Trump’s first press secretary
  • Gen. H.R. McMaster – former President Trump’s second national security adviser
  • Russell T. Vought – former director of White House Office of Management and Budget during the Trump administration.

 

During a White House briefing, press secretary Jen Psaki strongly refuted the suggestion that the advisory board positions faced the risk of being politicized. Psaki said that she will let others evaluate whether they think that Kellyanne Conway, Sean Spicer and others were qualified or not political to serve on the boards to which they had been appointed.

 

She added that the President’s qualification requirements were not their party registration. They were whether they were qualified to serve and whether they were aligned with the values of the present administration.

 

Some of these political appointees were given their appointments in December, while the presidential elections were held in November. This suggests that the former administration was putting in place their appointees before relinquishing power. Political parties, all over the globe, like to work with likeminded people and that is why the term political appointee exists? It reiterates the idea that the person appointed has similar views to the administration under which it works.

 

Almost every political party in the world sweeps away old appointees who are loyal to a former administration and aims to bring in new ones who will stay true to their particular ideology whether it is conservative, democratic, liberal, far right or far left.

Republican recall candidate Larry Elder gets “eggscellent” welcome from Venice, California’s homeless residents

0

 

 

On Wednesday, Larry Elder the GOP recall candidate who is leading among the Republican candidates, was confronted by a group of homeless people, in Venice, California. The conservative radio host was chased by a group from the homeless encampment. He visited the location, in his Recall Express bus tour after casting his vote. One woman, in a gorilla mask, threw a small white object (could be an egg) at him.

 

Spectrum News reporter Kate Cagle captured the incident on video and posted it on Twitter. A woman in a gorilla mask followed recall candidate Larry Elder as he walked along 3rd Avenue in Venice and threw an oval object at him. The LA Times reported that the object “kind of glanced his head” according to an Elder campaign staffer.

The woman then confronted an elderly man who was accompanying Elder on his almost 12-minute walk. Elder was whisked away from the scene in an SUV after what looked like an egg was hurled at him. The woman was allegedly white and Elder is Black. Ape characterizations were used as a racist trope through centuries, making many comment on the racist angle of the protest.

 

Although many of the residents shouted profanities at Elder, it is unclear why the group of residents were so angry with Elder.

 

Larry Elder tweeted about the incident on Wednesday evening. He said that his security detail was physically assaulted, and that the intolerant left would not stop them and that they would recall Gavin Newsom and that they would save California.

 

Those who vote to recall Governor Gary Newsom by answering ‘Yes’ to the question whether they wish to recall the governor will have to answer a second question. They will have to name the person who they wish to replace him with. If sufficient people vote Yes to recall him, then the candidate whose name appears the most becomes the next governor of California. Larry Elder is the most popular  among all the Republican candidates mentioned in the list.

Investigation reveals TikTok algorithm promotes sexual content, drugs, and alcohol to kids

 

 

A recent investigation by the Wall Street Journal reported that TikTok algorithm directed kids as young as 13 to videos that promoted sexual content, drugs, and alcohol. The investigation, by the Journal, said that a 13-year-old searched ‘OnlyFans’ and was able to watch quite a few videos including a couple   that sold pornography.

 

When the same teenager checked the for you page on TikTok which is similar to a Twitter feed, the teenager could access more content that was sexually explicit. The content that appears on the for you page is similar to what a user views the most often or what a viewer spends time watching as the algorithm is set to display recommendations as per previous searches.

 

So, if a user spends time on watching sexual content, the short form video app keeps on showing more of such content. The age of the viewer mentioned in their profile makes no difference to the content offered.

 

The investigation did not include an actual teenager, but a series of bots were used to check the recommendations of TikTok. The ages in the profile ranged from 13 to 15 and the research was conducted to check whether the app differentiates between the content it show to adults and to kids. It did not.

 

The WSJ reporters sent these videos, which numbered almost a thousand, filled with sexual content, drugs, and adult related content to TikTok. The Journal reported that 225 of them were removed immediately. A TikTok spokesperson told them that other videos had been restricted and would not be recommended to young viewers, but no numbers were revealed by the company.

 

A TikTok spokesperson told the Daily Mail that although the activity and resulting experience of those bots in no way represented the behavior and viewing of a normal person, they were continually working to improve their systems.

 

 

The spokesperson added that they were reviewing the app and were looking at preventive measures that would also stop highly unusual viewing habits from “creating negative cycles” especially for their younger users and that they cared for their wellbeing and would invest more, so that there would be age-appropriate content.

Senator Elizabeth Warren asks Amazon CEO Andy Jassy the reason why its algorithms show Covid misinformation

0

 

On Wednesday, Senator Elizabeth Warren sent a letter to Andy Jassy, the CEO of Amazon asking him to stop the spread of misinformation about COVID as the website recommended products that perpetuated falsehoods about the infection. CNBC obtained the letter where she also asked for an explanation on how the algorithms worked as they recommended dubious products through “Best Seller” badge and more.

 

The senator said that searches with common keywords such as “Covid,” “Covid-19 vaccine,” “vaccine,” “Covid-19” and “pandemic” send browsers to links that promoted literature full of false information, to cures that were unscientific or discredited and to misinformation on vaccines in the top results.

 

Warren acknowledged that Amazon has taken some steps by directing users to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other factual sites but there were also links to sites that peddled misinformation making it dangerous as it could affect countless Americans. She has framed a huge list of questions for the CEO and has asked Jassy to reply by September 22.

 

Lawmakers have been asking all Big Tech companies to get rid of misinformation on their sites and platforms. Amazon is not the only site whose algorithms direct users to false information. Alphabet’s YouTube, Facebook and Twitter have also been asked to refine their algorithms so that they can remove misinformation about Covid-19 as well as about vaccines.

 

When asked for comment by CNBC, Amazon representatives have not as yet responded.

 

Amazon has taken a few steps to limit content that spreads misinformation in the past, but researchers and advocacy groups also believe that it is not enough.

 

Amazon has content guidelines which state that it has the right not to sell book that has material that they consider to be “inappropriate or offensive.” However, it has no guidelines for misinformation.

It has taken action in the past on the following issues:

 

  • It removed books promoting cures for Autism.
  • It removed some books with vaccine misinformation.
  • It removed literature that called those who identify as LGBTQ as mental illness.

 

All the major tech companies have struggled with swaths of misinformation on their platforms. Accounts have been banned or suspended but more has to be done as there’s still a lot of misinformation circulating on different social media platforms.

At least 565,000 workers at Walmart are getting a raise in hourly wages

0

 

In the COVID driven economy, labor shortages are rampant. Workers at Walmart are getting a raise. The giant retailer is one of the largest employer in the United States and now more than 565,000 employees will be earning at least few dollars more than before by the end of the month.

 

Last month, Walmart, which is the largest private employer in America, reported its second quarter revenue and sales results. It was better than the forecast by Wall Street analysts. The quarterly revenue stood at $141 billion, and the comp-store sales rose 5.2 percent.

 

According to an internal memo obtained by various news agencies U.S. CEO John Furner wrote that associates in the Frontend, Food & Consumable and General Merchandise Work Groups would receive an at least $1 raise per hour. These divisions have a combined total of over 565,000 store associates. He also mentioned that it was the third time that Walmart was investing in wages for its store associates in the past year.

 

Furner said that they had raised pay for approximately 1.2 million hourly associates in their U.S. stores. He also said that the average hourly wage at Walmart for U.S. store associates was $16.40 after the latest increase in wages. He noted that the retail giant’s current average pay for associates was $15.25.

 

He said that entry-level associates take about seven months to reach positions with higher pay and more responsibilities. He also noted that possibilities continued to rise at the retail giant. He mentioned that about three quarters of their U.S. salaried store, club and supply chain management teams began their careers in an hourly role at Walmart.

 

Walmart workers’ pay are ahead of several other retailers. Many companies including CVS have raised the pay rate to $15 per hour as envisaged by President Joe Biden and the Democrats. They have been trying to push legislation making a $15 minimum hour wage compulsory throughout the nation, but this has been stalled mainly by Republican senators. Food cost and other costs have been rising and a minimum federally mandated wage of $15 per hour is the need of the hour.

 

 

Former Trump aide and Gettr CEO Jason Miller detained in Brazil for 3 hours after meeting President Bolsonaro

0

 

On Tuesday, Jason Miller, who is a former Trump spokesman and the CEO of Gettr, was questioned for three hours before he left Brazil. He had gone to the country to speak at a conservative conference. He was detained after he met President Jair Bolsonaro and was questioned by the federal police according to local media reports.

 

Local media said that Jason Miller was detained at the Brasilia International Airport as he was getting ready to take off for the U.S. on a private jet. He was in the country to address a conservative conference. It was organized by CPAC-Brazil. Miller also met President Jair Bolsonaro after attending the conference.

 

Jason Miller released a statement which said that he and his traveling party were questioned for three hours, at the airport in Brasilia after attending CPAC Brazil Conference that was held over the weekend. He added that they were not accused of any wrongdoing but were told that they “wanted to talk.”

 

He said that he informed them that they had nothing to say and were eventually released. They then flew back to the nation. He concluded the statement saying that their goal of “free speech around   the world continues.”

 

Metropoles, a Brazilian news outlet, said that the Gettr CEO was questioned under investigation 4874. This investigation is probing anti-democratic acts in Brazil. It was reportedly conducted under the orders of Justice Alexandre de Moraes.

 

Jason Miller had spoken to the Daily Mail before his trip to Brazil. He said that he was planning to meet popular politicians in the country and encourage them to join his platform Gettr, which is a pro-Trump social media outlet. He also said that it was significant that they had more than quarter of a million Brazilians on their platform.

 

Brazil is currently in a turmoil. Former leader Luiz Inacio Lula de Silva is leading in popularity and current President Jair Bolsonaro is trailing and would lose if the polls were conducted at this point of time.

 

However, the incumbent is not ready to give in to the popular vote. There is apprehension that there could be an insurrection a la January 6 in Brazil, similar to the one mounted by Trump supporters as the President Jair Bolsonaro is also the leader of the far right in Brazil.
