Cloudfare Shuts Off Its Service To 8chan
Cloudflare’s CEO Matthew Prince decided to cut off its support to internet forum 8chan after describing the forum as a cesspool of hate.
The rational behind this as pointed out by Matthew Prince is simple, the internet forum has become lawless and this lawlessness has resulted in multiple tragic deaths across the world.
And also as per Prince, the website infinite chain may not have violated the letter of law, but the website he says is responsible for creating an environment of hate that spurts out all of these criminal activity motivation.
The decision was driven by the perception that the shooter in the mass shooting at El Paso posted an anti-immigration racist manifesto in 8chan almost immediately before the attack which resulted in the killing of 20 people.
It also seems that 8chan was also a recipient of Manifesto that eventually resulted in the Christchurch mosque terrorist attack in New Zealand.
The world and internet is treating this is as a welcome decision and my heart, my love and my prayers go to all of those families who have suffered this tragic loss in this heinous incident.
Audi New Scooters Apparently Solves A Big Problem
Scooters are fun.
They are easily accessible, require less space to store and are a fun way to travel short distances.
But like with every technology, this piece of technology also has its problems.
The problems it appears Audi is taking under consideration and resolving it in its new line of scooters that it is launching under the name e-tron scooter.
The problem under discussion was the impossible use of hand signals for proper and navigation.
This improper navigation prospect raised a lot of security concerns of the user over travelling short distances.
With improved tech in e-tron scooters, the users will be able to navigate and control the scooter with the help of their weight, just like is the case with a skateboard.
It may seem a bit tedious at first and not to mention the scooter is going to cost 2244$ dollars, but audi seems to portray the fact that with practice the vehicle is going to be very effective.
Audi is saying using the scooter will be like riding waves in a surf board.
And although it may seem like it will take a fair bit of effort to learn how to do that at first.
But this introduction and the way the navigation is happening on this technology is definitely going to take care of the problems that are inherent part of short distance travelling devices.
The new scooter from Audi might be easier to use and easier to navigate but the top speed of just 12.5 mph is turning off potential customers.
The features in the scooter as expected from Audi are really incredible, with Technologies such as regenerative braking in place it also comes with hydraulic foot brake and LED lights.
But let’s see whether these features will overpower the hesitation that customers might have in their minds because of the lack of speed that this device is offering as of now.
Google Releases Sustainable Plans For Its Hardware
A recent blog post by Anna Meegan, who is the head of sustainability in consumer Hardware at Google just released a statement designating its plan as to how to incorporate sustainable development and eco-friendliness in its hardware.
The plan reveals,
- Google’s commitment to make all the shipments to and from customers 100% carbon neutral by 2020.
- Including 100% of recycled materials in made by Google products starting from 2020.
- Google also gave this commitment to make every possible effort to to use recycled content and material as far as possible.
Google also promises to put people of first in its development of Technology and expansion in such a way that enhances people’s life in every way.
A company deciding to make sustainable development and recycling of materials is not something new.
And it is not something very exclusive to Google.
Tech Giants such as Samsung and Amazon have also decided to take this step to create and expand its capabilities in such a sense that it proves to be an asset to the environment.
For example, Amazon has a long talked about using a sustainable packaging for its deliveries but how many of them are the environmental friendly I want you to be the judge of that.
And Apple has long boasted its visions of closed loop supply chain.
This invariably should lead to allowing damaged phones to be repaired rather than getting replaced.
One thing that you as my viewers need to know is all of these sustainable programs when it comes to tech situation are completely self guided.
I personally feel this is an incredible step that companies take towards sustainable and eco-friendly development.
But I also want you to understand when it comes to responsibility regarding the progress and accountability of these actions, it is only limited to cases like public outrage.
There are no strict government regulations that are being provided to the companies as of now that declares this is the kind of Sustainable practices that you need to do and whether the businesses are have attained these sustainable goals.
So in this case we as consumers need to be very aware of how we are involved with these products.
And come up with a way that continuously pushes every kind of technological development towards sustainability.
