Meta Decides 'From the River to the Sea,' a Call for Genocide Against Jews, Is Not 'Hate Speech'

Image: Sony Sony has started celebrating 30 years of PlayStation and seems to have confirmed a PS5 Pro design leak in the process. A blog post earlier today included a 30th anniversary image (above), and eagle-eyed observers have spotted a suspicious-looking PS5 design in the montage that looks identical to the PS5 Pro leak from a week ago. Dealabs reported last week that it had seen retail packaging for the PS5 Pro and created a sketch that showed three black stripes in the middle of the outer facades of the console. Those three black strips can be clearly seen in Sony’s montage image, looking rather Adidas-like and unlike the stripe you can find on the PS5. In fact, the existing PS5 model is also in the montage, with a single stripe through the... Continue reading…

The Osom OV1 smartphone was created by former Essential engineers and designers. | Image: Osom Osom Products Inc. — the mobile phone company founded by former employees of Essential, which shut down after releasing a single phone — is reportedly shutting down this week, having released a single phone. The news comes shortly after Osom’s former chief privacy officer sued the company, claiming that it’s out of money after its CEO used business funds to pay for personal trips and exotic cars. During an internal meeting on Tuesday, Osom executives announced their decision to shutter the company, according to multiple sources who spoke to Android Authority. The report claims that most of the company’s employees will be laid off on Friday but will receive severance pay and be eligible for continued healthcare. Osom was started by Jason...

Instead of a boring number or some dots of light to show battery level you get a silly face. | Image: Ugreen Ugreen has a new collection of iPhone and USB accessories for IFA 2024 that really turn up the charm. The Uno line is a collection of GaN and Qi2 chargers, cables, a power bank, and a USB-C hub — each featuring tiny a screen solely for displaying robot-like emoji faces. The most endearing ones by far are the $60 Uno Charger 100W four-port USB charger and $70 15W Qi2 magnetic power bank that sticks to MagSafe phones — each looks like a helpful little bot friend you’ve appointed to live on your desk and help with your charging duties. They’re also the most expressive, with their TFT screens showing up to half a dozen different faces to give some idea of the actual charge levels / rates of your device. For example, the faces on the Qi2... Continue reading…

By Raphaëlle Goyeau/The Conversation In 1534, King Henry VIII infamously broke away from the Catholic Church, becoming the head of the Church of England. Following this, two lesser-known acts were passed, the Suppression of Religious Houses Act 1535 and the Suppression of Religious Houses Act 1539 (also known as the “two Acts of Dissolution”). These acts were the legal instruments of what is now known as the dissolution of the monasteries, a long process throughout which the hundreds of priories, convents, friaries, and other religious houses which fell under the English monarch’s rule saw their holdings confiscated by the Crown. In doing so, Henry unwittingly set in motion a series of events that would forever change how scholars of English history would access the primary sources used in research.
