In early 2021, the journalist Matt Richtel spoke to a father who was a few weeks into a nightmare. Tatnai Burnett was a doctor, his wife was a therapist, and, until middle school, their daughter Elaniv had seemed to be the happy beneficiary of loving parents and a stable home. Then, without apparent external cause, she became depressed and began cutting herself. Her parents sought treatment, including medication and therapy, but on March 1, 2021, Elaniv took an overdose of pills. She arrived at the hospital conscious, then started hallucinating and having seizures, before going into cardiac arrest and being placed on life support.

De flesta ägare av operativsystem för smarta TV-apparater säljer nu annonsmaterial. Programvaruleverantörer för budget- och premium-TV-apparater finslipar sina annonsfärdigheter, vilket kräver att de förbättrar sin förmåga att samla in användardata.
Detta skapar en ”inneboende konflikt” inom branschen, sa Takashi Nakano, vice vd för innehåll och programmering på Samsung TV Plus, på StreamTV-mässan i Denver förra veckan.

The Trumps are doing phones now. This week, the Trump Organization announced its own cellphone service called Trump Mobile, as well as a gold-colored smartphone called the T1, which will purportedly be manufactured in the United States and retail for $499. It is available for preorder now and will supposedly ship in August or September, though one reporter who attempted to buy the device was left feeling unsure: His card was charged $64.70 instead of the full $100 down payment, and he was never asked to provide a shipping address.

Mounted on Formula One cars and used at real events, the special module used an iPhone camera sensor and A-series chip to help capture the new movie’s racing scenes.
You can’t mount a cinema camera on a Formula One race car. These nimble vehicles are built to precise specs, and capturing racing footage from the driver’s point of view isn’t as simple as slapping a GoPro on and calling it a day. That’s the challenge Apple faced after Joseph Kosinski and Claudio Miranda, the director and cinematographer of the upcoming F1 Apple Original, wanted to use real POV racing footage in the film.

Adele Zeynep Waltons syskon Aimee var en begåvad artist som älskade musik. Det var först efter hennes död som Walton insåg att Aimee hade lockats in i ett farligt samhälle – och att andra också kunde vara offer för det.
Adele Zeynep Walton knew something was wrong when she stumbled out of her caravan in the New Forest at 8am – she was camping with her boyfriend – and, through her sleepy fog, saw her parents’ car driving towards her. Initially annoyed by the idea of a family walk so early in the day, she then noticed that the car was veering off the track and, as it drew closer, her mother looked “hysterical”. “Straight away,” she says. “I was like, ‘It’s Aimee.’”
