Normalerweise beginnt Samsung jedes Jahr erst im Oktober oder November mit dem Testen der neuen Android-Variante. Bereits im April gab es erste Gerüchte über einen früheren Start der Beta. Dies dürfte sich durchaus bestätigen, da Max Weinbach von 9to5google auf eine frühe Beta-Version der Software gestoßen ist und diese erfolgreich auf einem Galaxy S22+ geflasht hat.

The committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol siege convenes Tuesday for a public hearing investigating what it calls the final phase of Trump’s multi-pronged effort to stop Joe Biden’s victory. As dozens of lawsuits and false allegations of voter fraud tumbled, Trump tweeted the rally invitation in a pivotal moment, the panel said.

“A l’époque, on avait un Premier ministre et un ministre des Transports qui essayaient de faire en sorte qu’Uber ne vienne pas en France, ou pas en tout cas, et pendant ce temps-là vous aviez l’agent secret Macron, qui, derrière ses collègues de retour, il fait tout pour faire venir Uber en France, il se charge des amendements “clé en main” pour le débat parlementaire, a-t-il déploré. Pour lui, cela “en dit long sur la perception des choses d’Emmanuel Macron : il faut toujours affaiblir au maximum l’Etat, laisser le plus de place possible à ces grandes multinationales”....

A team of astronomers, led by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), has detected what are officially known as fast radio bursts (FRBs), which are intense radio waves that typically last for a few milliseconds. The newly detected FRB, however, lingers for up to three seconds—about 1,000 times longer than average. The signal, labeled FRB 20191221A, is currently the longest-lived FRB with the clearest periodic pattern detected to date. Although the researchers aren’t sure of the source, they suspect the signal comes from a radio pulsar or a magnetar, both of which are types of neutron stars – extremely dense, rapidly spinning collapsed cores of giant stars....

Als Reaktion auf Russlands Krieg gegen die Ukraine hat die Europäische Union umfangreiche Sanktionen verhängt – darunter ein Embargo gegen russisches Öl. Erneut sprach Putin von einem “wirtschaftlichen Blitzkrieg” gegen den Westen, der fehlschlug. Diesmal gab er jedoch zu: „Diese Maßnahmen und Beschränkungen schaden unserer Wirtschaft, und viele Risiken bleiben bestehen.“ Der Kremlchef erklärte etwa, russische Unternehmen sollten sich auf das Ölembargo vorbereiten und sich beim Export von Energierohstoffen breiter aufstellen....
