Streaming continues to boom, despite increases in prices pretty much across the board over the last 18 months. “The small screen continues to draw Brits to cosier evenings in, cutting back on evenings out at pubs, bars, and restaurants, instead enjoying streaming and shopping from the comfort of home. We’ll be keeping a close on whether consumer confidence holds in November and in the run up to Christmas.”

Air fryers that gather your personal data and audio speakers “stuffed with trackers” are among examples of smart devices engaged in “excessive” surveillance, according to the consumer group Which? Smart air fryers allow cooks to schedule their meal to start cooking before they get home. Not all air fryers have such functionality but those that do often use an app installed on a smartphone. It is due to outline clear expectations for what they need to do to comply with data protection laws and protect people using smart products. “The permission to record audio on Xiaomi Home app is not applicable to Xiaomi smart air fryer which does not operate directly through voice commands and video chat.”Aigostar was approached for comment.

By Dustin Rowles | News | November 4, 2024 |Tomorrow is Election Day — finally! Remember when people thought Joe Biden shouldn’t step down because Kamala Harris wouldn’t have enough time to mount a solid campaign? Just when I’d wrapped my head around polling recall, I learned that firms shift results to avoid standing out. The New York Times/Siena team, however, doesn’t engage in herding, which is why their polls sometimes show outlier results. The encouraging news is that Ann Selzer dropped a poll in Iowa over the weekend showing Harris up by three.

Former Premier League referee Keith Hackett has sounded the alarm over Lisandro Martinez's tackle on Cole Palmer, suggesting it was a potential career-ender that should be 'outlawed' from football. In the final moments of Manchester United's tense 1-1 draw with Chelsea, Martinez's studs raked down Palmer's leg. As Palmer crumpled to the ground in evident distress, referee Rob Jones wasted no time in brandishing a yellow card at Martinez. However, replays later showed that Martinez's boot connected with Palmer's knee and continued down his shin, yet Michael Salisbury, the VAR official, did not recommend a review of the incident. He argued: "The landing area of the boot was on Palmer's knee and quite clearly it endangered the player's safety."

It was clear to me that the arrival of the global economy had created a pervasive sense of insecurity and disempowerment. In almost every country, educational systems have been shifted towards training students for the skills needed by the corporate world. In the global North, rural areas have been similarly hollowed out by global economic forces. Since food is something that everyone, everywhere, needs every day, a key focus should be on rebuilding the local food economy. The rise of authoritarianism is just one of many interrelated impacts of economic globalization.

Canadian judge, senator and Indigenous reformer Murray Sinclair dies aged 73 – The GuardianNovember 4, 2024Murray Sinclair, the Anishinaabe judge, senator and university chancellor, who reshaped Canada’s legal system and forced the public to confront the brutal realities of the Indigenous residential school system, has died at the age of 73. Sinclair – whose spirit name was Mizhana Gheezhik, meaning “The One Who Speaks of Pictures in the Sky” – was a champion of Indigenous rights and reconciliation efforts, dedicating his life to reversing the stark inequties many Indigenous communities face as the result of colonial policy. Sinclair, Manitoba’s first Indigenous judge, chaired Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which spent six years compiling testimony from survivors of horrific abuses at the country’s residential school system and concluded that Canada had carried out a policy of “cultural genocide”.
