After a quiet Tuesday, the NBA storms back with 12 games on the schedule Wednesday. Unfortunately, we’ll be missing several star players because of injuries. The Suns have a tough matchup against the Cavaliers on the road and will remain without Devin Booker (groin). The Pelicans will have their depth tested with Brandon Ingram (toe) and Zion Williamson (hamstring) out for their game against the Rockets. Finally, the Bucks, who will be playing the second game of a back-to-back set after… Source link

Google’s first Android update of the year is now starting to roll out to supported Pixels, and as usual it will take a few weeks for it to reach all of the devices out there in the wild.

The Pixel Buds Pro will receive an… Source link

Domantas Sabonis has been integral to the Kings having a positive record so far this year. It will be a quiet night in the NBA on Tuesday with just three games on the schedule. There is the potential for a couple of blowouts, with the Bucks hosting the Wizards and the Celtics taking on the Thunder. We could also see a high-scoring affair when the Jazz host the Kings. The Jazz will be shorthanded, though, with Collin Sexton (hamstring) expected to miss at least the next week. Let’s dig… Source link

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State’s free Google Workspace for Education accounts will no longer support unlimited storage beginning in January. Instead, the University will be allocated a shared storage pool for all users. This change is being driven by Google, which is eliminating the unlimited free storage. In preparation for the reduced storage capacity, the Penn State IT Office 365 team has been working with Google Drive power users to help reduce the volume of their stored data. The… Source link

U.S. inflation accelerated in January, with prices across a wide range of goods and services soaring further amid lingering shortages and supply chain disruptions. The Consumer Price Index (CPI) released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics Thursday morning registered a 7.5% annual gain in January.

U.S. payrolls recorded a stunning jump in January despite a record number of Americans calling in sick from work as the Omicron variant spread rapidly across the country at the start of the year. The Labor Department reported Friday that non-farm payrolls surged by 467,000 for the month, an upside surprise from what experts expected. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg forecasted payroll growth of 125,000, and the highest prediction was 250,000 jobs added. Other figures in this latest workforce… Source link

Private payrolls unexpectedly declined in January as the Omicron variant’s spread contributed to a marked weakening in the labor market at the beginning of the year. U.S. private sector employment fell by 301,000 in January, ADP said in its closely watched monthly report on Wednesday. That represented the first drop in payrolls since December 2020, and came after 776,000 payrolls were added back in December, based on ADP’s revised monthly print. Consensus economists had anticipated that about… Source link

The buy-the-dip crowd is circling the markets like a hungry shark does a wounded whale after a brutal January. “The equity market sell-off is overdone in our view, and we reiterate our call to buy the dip, particularly in cyclicals and small caps,” said JPMorgan strategist Marko Kolanovic in a new research note.  That is easier said than done for most investors following a tough start to the year for markets. The S&P 500 index sold off to the tune of 5.3% in January, marking its worst monthly… Source link
