Antonio García Martínez’s dismissal came swiftly after thousands of employees petitioned upper management about controversial passages from a memoir he wrote in 2016 they felt were misogynistic and racist. In one cited sample from his book entitled Chaos Monkeys: Obscene Fortune and Random Failure in Silicon Valley, García Martínez describes women in the San Francisco Bay Area as “soft and weak, cosseted and naive despite their claims of worldliness, and generally full of s**t....

Firmware Solution to Flickering Problem The problem seemed to be caused by the Intel HD Graphics 4000 chip that drives the HDMI port.

Among those who used the Thunderbolt port to drive a display, no one report any image issues....

Phone theft is an issue of great concern, especially at times when they have become so advanced. Earlier, the phones were only used to make phone calls, send texts, check the time, but now the smartphones have become portable PCs that are used to browse the internet, shop online, and do far more than just make calls. Obviously, these high-end devices definitely don’t come at a lower price. The company introduced “Activation Lock” with its iOS 7 in September 2014, which enable users to disable their devices in case of loss or theft....

This makes the phone blisteringly fast and capable of more things than any other smartphone currently available....

While the game is now considered a classic in Pittsburgh — one of few for the club post-1979 — it started out very ordinary. Some might even say boring. The Buccos and Cubs were scoreless heading into the bottom of the fifth on a cold, dreary Sunday afternoon at Three Rivers Stadium with a combined three hits between them. That’s when Pittsburgh scratched across two runs. The Cubs answered right back with three runs in the top of the sixth....

April Powers, who was previously Chief Equity and Inclusion Officer at the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI), spoke to Newsweek about the torrent of death threats and antisemitic messages she had been subjected to for weeks. Powers left the SCBWI after she shared a Twitter post last month that condemned the rise in antisemitic attacks that had occurred earlier this year, which triggered an avalanche of abuse online....

The purpose of aptX (previously spelled apt-X) is to provide audio equipment the means for better sound quality than what other codecs can offer. Devices that might use it include headphones, smartphones, tablets, car stereos, or other types of Bluetooth speakers. aptX can perform better sound transfers by reducing the audio’s file size before transmission without affecting its sound quality. In other words, given the same bandwidth pipeline used by other codecs, it can squeeze more data through to the listening device, resulting in better quality sound....

Black Manta has long been one of the most famous foes of Aquaman in the comics and over the years, he’s taken many forms. In the first Aquaman film, however, he was largely just a stumbling block on the way to the real foes for the King of the Deep.

Aptly named “The Arby’s Level,” the Arby’s Super Mario Maker 2 level can be accessed with Course ID JGX-MQ8-VRG. This Super Mario Maker 2 stage is created in the Super Mario Bros. 3 style, and those that play it will encounter a not-so-subtle Arby’s touch.

For all the easy headlines generated from his answer, Louis van Gaal didn’t really get into what would have been a complex enough discussion. The Manchester United manager was last week explicitly asked whether you now specifically need a 25-goal striker to win the league. Van Gaal responded in rather typical Van Gaal fashion, “Not only [Wayne] Rooney has to score, but other players have to score and we concede less....

But after overcoming Tunisia and Denmark, the Socceroos now face Argentina and Lionel Messi in the Round of 16....
