An Android phone without Google. No Google apps, no Google Play Services, no peppy Google Assistant. No Google surveillance and data snooping, no incessant ad targeting, no feeling like privacy is a pointless exercise. Some companies, like Huawei, have been forced to figure out how to build this kind of device. A few others have tried for the sake of maintaining your privacy and as a way to fight back against the tyranny of Big Tech. None of it has ever really worked. The team at Murena… Source link

Only the Las Vegas Raiders know whether Colin Kaepernick is still good enough to play quarterback in the NFL. Kaepernick tried out for the Raiders on Wednesday. It was his first legit tryout in years. He hasn’t appeared in a game since the 2016 season, when he started 11 games for a two-win San Francisco team. He was cut in early 2017 and hasn’t garnered much interest since, at least some of it because of his decision to kneel during the playing of the national anthem that season. Is he, at… Source link

In addition,… Source link

The demise of CNN+ has led to further questions about the role of cable companies in the streaming era. The soon-to-vanish platform, once hailed as one of the most significant launches in the legacy media business, will shut down on April 30 — just one month after its launch. The news arrived shortly after David Zaslav’s takeover, with the newly formed Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD) making it abundantly clear that the venture’s reported four-year budget of $1 billion was not worth the cost. So… Source link

President Biden and the Democratic Party face no shortage of challenges heading into the 2022 midterm elections. But inflation is by far the most formidable — and now, according to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll, Americans say that Republicans (31%) rather than Democrats (26%) can do a better job of “fixing” it. The survey of 1,605 U.S. adults, which was conducted from April 19 to 22, found that 39% select either inflation (33%) or gas prices (6%) as the biggest problem facing America… Source link

Of course, there’s also a lot missing from the render. The image doesn’t include the watch’s lugs (which would show how the strap… Source link

Khamzat Chimaev may never be the pound-for-pound best fighter in the world. He may never even be a UFC champion. Neither, obviously, is out of the question, but even if he doesn’t reach either goal, it won’t matter a bit. This guy has star written all over him and with his performance Saturday in a breathtaking battle with Gilbert Burns at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Jacksonville, Florida, on the main card of UFC 273, he took another big step toward the top of the heap. Since Russia… Source link
