The maker of po[CENSORED]r video game Fortnite has agreed to pay $520m (£427m) to resolve claims from US regulators that it violated child privacy laws and tricked users into making purchases. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) said the firm duped players with "deceptive interfaces" that could trigger purchases while the game loaded. It also accused it of using "privacy-invasive" default settings. Epic Games blamed "past designs". "No developer creates a game with the intention of ending up here," the company said. "We accepted this agreement because we want Epic to be at the forefront of consumer protection and provide the best experience for our players." Fortnite, a battle royale game that became a global sensation after its launch in 2017, has more than 400 million players around the world. The game is generally free to download, but makes money from in-game purchases of items such as costumes and dance moves. The FTC said that the game, which matches strangers around the world for interactive battles, was aimed at children and teens, but despite that, its developers failed to comply with rules regarding parental consent - even after making changes to address internal and public concerns. "As our complaints note, Epic used privacy-invasive default settings and deceptive interfaces that tricked Fortnite users, including teenagers and children," said FTC chair Lina Khan. "Protecting the public, and especially children, from online privacy invasions and dark patterns is a top priority for the commission, and these enforcement actions make clear to businesses that the FTC is cracking down on these unlawful practices." The FTC said Epic would pay $275m - a record penalty for the consumer watchdog - to resolve the claims it collected child and teen data without parental consent, and exposed children and teens to bullying and harassment by turning on voice and text communications by default. Epic Games agreed to change its privacy settings for teens and children, and have chat communications turned off by default. The company will also pay a record $245m, to be used for refunds to customers, to settle a separate complaint about deceptive billing practices. The FTC cited a "counterintuitive, inconsistent, and confusing button configuration" that led to hundreds of millions of dollars in unauthorised purchases. It said the firm had resisted changing its design to add a separate confirmation step, worried that doing so "would add 'friction', 'result in a decent number of people second guessing their purchase', and reduce the number of 'impulse purchases'", according to the complaint. It said the company locked accounts of customers who disputed charges and "purposefully obscured cancel and refund features to make them more difficult to find". Epic said it had been making changes and the practices detailed in the FTC's complaints were "not how Fortnite operates". "The laws have not changed, but their application has evolved and long-standing industry practices are no longer enough," the company said, adding that it hoped to offer a model for the rest of the industry. https://www.bbc.com/news/business-64030272

As one of the largest scorpions in existence, the hairy desert scorpion is one of the deadliest predators in the southern United States. The hairy desert scorpion is among the largest arachnids in Arizona. Up to 11 centimeters long, its yellow shell makes it stand out among the stones and sand. For this reason, it is also known as the yellow scorpion, documents the Naturalista database. Here we tell you everything we know about these nocturnal predators of the arid plains of North America. We suggest: Why you should not kill the spiders you find at home Where does the desert scorpion live? The species was originally described in 1928, by the American geophysicist Maurice Ewing. The specialist was struck by the hard coating that protects the internal organs of the desert scorpion, which is why the scientific name appeals to this characteristic. Hadrurus arizonensis comes from the word hadr, which in Greek means hard. In addition to this natural shell, these arachnids have a series of hairs on their claws, tail, and back. Since they are not characterized by having very good eyesight, they help them detect the movement of larger predators, as well as their possible prey. What's more, the hairy desert scorpion is among the largest in the United States, according to Utah's Hogle Zoo. These scorpions are characterized by being nocturnal and solitary predators. In the deserts of Arizona, they only seek companionship when they reach reproductive age. Generally, females can gestate for 6 to 12 months. In total, they can have up to 35 young, which they carry around until they learn to hunt on their own. Also read: They discover a neon gecko that glows in the dark What do these hairy arachnids eat? The desert scorpion is sexually dimorphic. That is, the females are much larger than the males. Although they are actually olive green skinned, in the sun they look almost yellow. At night, however, they take on a blue color, typical of fluorescent animals. ALTHOUGH IT IS A SPECIES THAT HAS BEEN MUCH STUDYED—TO KNOW HOW TO TREAT ITS POISON—NOBODY REALLY KNOWS WHY THEY GLOW IN THE DARK. Since it inhabits arid and semi-arid regions, it generally feeds on smaller insects. Among them, moths, beetles and even other scorpions. Their poisonous sting allows them to hunt rodents and lizards. In captivity, documents the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), they live up to 20 years. However, in their natural environment, the average lifespan is much shorter, because they are susceptible to their predators. https://www.ngenespanol.com/animales/escorpion-del-desierto/

INTRODUCTION When the Audi E-tron SUV arrived in 2018 as Audi’s first proper EV, it made headlines with its impressive 150kW peak charging rate, but even then the range was nothing to write home about. Four years later, its numbers are only about okay, so it’s a good thing that it’s facelift time. Signalling the profundity of the updates is a new name: to bring the flagship in line with the smaller Audi Q4 E-tron and forthcoming Q6 E-tron, it’s now known as the Audi Q8 E-tron. There are some visual tweaks, including new alloy wheel designs and redesigned bumpers and grilles, but the big news is to be found under the skin. Four years of advances in battery energy density have enabled Audi to increase the usable capacities of the battery packs from 71kWh to 89kWh (in the entry-level 50 variant) and from 89kWh to 106kWh (in the 55 and the sporty Audi SQ8 E-tron). Meanwhile, more advanced motors and a reduced drag coefficient have improved the energy efficiency. Even so, 2.6mpkWh is still pretty poor, and on my test drive in very mild conditions the digital gauge cluster indicated just 2.2mpkWh – a figure that would translate to a real-world range of just 230 miles. When it does need a top-up, the 55 can accept charging rates of up to 170kW – a useful increase but nowhere near the rival Genesis Electrified GV70’s 240kW limit. To top off the upgrades, there’s faster steering, retuned suspension (as before, all variants ride on air springs) and cleverer stability control and traction control. As before, the Q8 E-tron is an understatedly handsome and well-proportioned car, and in Sportback form it doesn’t suffer the ungainliness of some SUV-coupés. Not much has changed inside either, solid build quality and upmarket materials remaining present and correct. The lower touchscreen (for the climate) still does a job that knobs and switches could do better, but it works quite well, as does the main infotainment touchscreen. The sports seats are easy to get comfortable in and there’s no shortage of storage space. To drive, the Q8 E-tron is pleasant and mostly unremarkable. A 0-62mph time of 5.6sec is quick by any reasonable standard, yet it doesn’t suffer from the jumpy throttle response of Teslas and some other EVs. You can vary the amount of regenerative braking using paddles or simply let the car figure it out in the adaptive mode. The Q8 E-tron retains impressive noise isolation, but even on the glass-smooth roads of Lanzarote, there was more fidget to the ride than you might expect from an air-suspended luxury car. At least it dispatches ruts and potholes fairly well, despite its large wheels. Audi’s vehicle dynamics engineer told me it was a deliberate choice not to make an Audi float across the road like a Mercedes-Benz S-Class or a Range Rover. That’s fair enough in Germany, perhaps, but it might prove a bit too much on UK roads. The old E-tron struck a nice balance, so it would be a shame if we discover that it has been pushed too far in the direction of sportiness with this update. After all, you wouldn’t call the Q8 E-tron particularly sporty. It handles tidily, with decent grip, tight body control, well-weighted, progressive steering and a subtle sense of rear bias, but it’s too big and heavy for you to really want to chuck it around. Prices start at £67,800 for the 50, while £80,300 buys you the 55, and the SQ8 E-tron comes in at £97,500. The Sportback bodystyle then demands a £2500 premium whichever powertrain you choose. The BMW iX, which in iX xDrive40 form has a comparable spec to the 55, costs slightly less and is roomier but has a shorter range. The Mercedes-Benz EQC and the Jaguar I-Pace are pretty old and not very efficient either, although the Jag is at least very good to drive. This is a market segment that currently doesn’t exhibit the best the industry can produce. As an alternative, the Genesis Electrified GV70 is only slightly smaller and less rangy, but is faster, more efficient and almost £10,000 cheaper. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/audi/q8-e-tron

At least 36 people have been injured, 11 seriously, after a Hawaiian Airlines flight from Phoenix to Honolulu was hit by severe turbulence. One passenger said the shaking became so severe they were "pretty much floating off of our chairs". Twenty people were taken to local hospitals with injuries ranging from lacerations, bruising and loss of consciousness to head injuries. Thunderstorms were reported in the area at the time of the turbulence. On Monday, the US National Transportation Safety Board announced it is investigating the incident. There were 278 passengers and 10 crew on board the Airbus A330-200. The incident on Flight HA35 happened on Sunday morning, shortly before the plane came in to land at Honolulu's Daniel K Inouye International Airport. A statement from Hawaiian Airlines read: "Medical care was provided to several guests and crew members at the airport for minor injuries while some were swiftly transported to local hospitals for further care." Of the people taken to hospital, about 17 were passengers and three were crew members. A 14-month-old baby and a teenager were among them. Hawaiian Airlines' chief operating officer Jon Snook said he was "grateful" for the support provided by emergency services and that "it looks like everybody's going to survive". He added there had been unstable weather conditions in Hawaii recently that created challenges for airlines. One passenger told Hawaiian broadcaster KHON2 that the severe turbulence only lasted a few seconds, but it was enough to injure the passengers. "It was just rocky. And then, it quickly just escalated to, like, the point where we're shaking so much that we were, like, pretty much floating off of our chairs," Jacie Hayata Ano said. "You could see people were hurt around us and things are just everywhere... that's pretty surreal," she added. The airline said it was conducting a "thorough investigation" of the plane before it returns to service. Why turbulence is (usually) nothing to worry about Turbulence is a fact of flying - however severe incidents like those on flight HA35 experienced are rare, and a bit of a bumpy flight is usually nothing to worry about. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), turbulence can be caused by: air movement not normally seen atmospheric pressure jet streams air around mountains cold or warm weather fronts thunderstorms Sometimes it can be predicted - and pilots are known to radio to each other to give advanced warnings - but it can also come out of nowhere. Even though it is a weather phenomenon, turbulence can happen anywhere and in any conditions. The most important thing to do is to keep your seatbelt on - on average 58 people in the US are injured during turbulent flights when not wearing seatbelts every year, according to the FAA. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64024021

I have been watching Elon Musk for a number of years - and more closely than ever in recent months, since he decided, seemingly on a whim, to buy the social network Twitter. He is one of the world's richest men - sometimes the richest, depending on the price of Tesla shares, his main financial asset. With a string of other high-profile companies under his wing, including Tesla, Space X, Starlink, and Neuralink, he is also a subject of global fascination. Then, of course, there is his own personal story - the tall, 51-year-old billionaire with 10 children ranging in age from one to 18. His first son died aged just 10 weeks. Musk, who was born in South Africa, has described living with Asperger's syndrome, a type of autism, and stated that his main goal in life is to colonise Mars. What I have learned is - as, perhaps, with many of us - there are many different faces of Elon Musk. The persona he projects via his prolific tweets is provocative, controversial and bombastic. He loves a rude meme, knows whatever he says will make headlines around the world, and enjoys trolling the media with ever more outlandish statements and jokes. He likes trying to goad us journalists into writing ever more extreme headlines. In public, he has learned to be a showman, whether dancing alongside electric-car-making robots, emerging triumphantly from the latest slick Tesla prototype, or being filmed walking into Twitter's headquarters carrying a sink - "Let that sink in" was the gag, playing off a po[CENSORED]r meme on the site. This Halloween, he attended a party in leather armour, a $7,500 costume called "the devil's champion". And yet Tallulah Riley, his ex-wife, whom he married twice, described him in BBC documentary series The Elon Musk Show as "sweet" and "shy". Veteran Silicon Valley journalist and author Mike Malone, who has known Mr Musk for 20 years, tells me he sees "a very reserved, very smart, very introspective and intellectual guy" who spends long transatlantic flights with him reading complex trajectory tables, trying to work out how to land a spacecraft on Mars. The pair have a long-standing $5 (£4) bet over Mr Musk's ambition to send people to Mars by 2030. "I said, 'I don't think you can do it - but I hope you do. I hope I owe you the $5,'" Mr Malone says. "That bet's still floating in the air". Sending people to Mars is a lifelong goal for Mr Musk. Some say it is his take on long-termism - a philosophy favoured by some very rich people which seeks to act in the interests of billions of people in the far future, rather than focusing on the immediate needs of the present. At some point, the human race is going to have to leave Earth, he says. And his interest in space is clearly signposted in his existing business portfolio. But where, on Earth, does Twitter fit in? Mr Musk answered that question, this week - in a tweet. "Social media in general, especially Twitter, were eroding civilisation," he wrote. "If civilisation collapses before Mars becomes self-sustaining, then nothing else matters. Human consciousness is gone." But how was Twitter "eroding civilisation"? Mr Musk said, at the very beginning, his aim in buying the platform was to create a 21st Century digital, global town square for discussing society's big issues. He has written many times about perceived imbalance under the previous regime, arguing that right-leaning views were given less visibility by Twitter staff than left-leaning ones, skewing debate and creating echo chambers where nobody saw material that challenged their existing viewpoint. With some handpicked journalists, he published the "Twitter files", a selected set of internal documents, to support his view. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-63871980

After the AquaDom explosion, 1 million liters of salt water flooded the Radisson, leaving more than a thousand exotic fish dead. It happened at 5:45 a.m. local time. An explosion rocked the Radisson Blu, in the Berlin hotel zone. Right in the central courtyard of the building, a 16-meter column filled with salt water broke, leaving the 1,500 exotic fish inside homeless, badly injured or dead. Locally, it was known as the AquaDom: the largest cylindrical aquarium on the planet. A Berlin fire brigade rushed to the site immediately. According to Reuters coverage, the cylinder spilled 1 million liters of water, which the species needed to survive. Regarding what caused the accident, neither local authorities nor hotel management have commented. like an earthquake The Berlin emergency services reported that the AquaDom explosion reached the main street of the Mitte district, one of the busiest in the capital. "It felt like an earthquake," said one of the guests staying at the hotel this week. Another of the clients assured that the accident left “absolute devastation, with hundreds of dead fish and a lot of debris.” None of the 1,500 fish that inhabited the AquaDom survived, according to the report issued by Union Investment, the organization that financed the maintenance of the aquarium. Still, with the help of local brigades, efforts are being made to rescue the species that live in the smaller tanks, to transfer them to other local aquariums. The action must be immediate, say the hotel managers, because the building was left without electricity. Only two hotel employees were injured. Due to the magnitude of the explosion, the mayor of the city, Franziska Giffey, assured that if it had not happened so early in the morning, "there would have been considerable human losses." German police do not believe the accident was the result of a terrorist attack. The Radisson issued a statement to its elite clients, with the notification that the facilities would be closed until further notice. Once an iconic Berlin tourist spot, the site of the AquaDom is covered in a blanket of rubble. Almost like a graveyard of unique species, which did not survive the explosion. https://www.ngenespanol.com/animales/aquadom-estalla-y-deja-a-1500-peces-muertos/

The first Ford EV to use Volkswagen's MEB platform will be revealed in March before replacing the Ford Fiesta at the firm's Cologne production line around the middle of the year. The new EV has been kept tightly under wraps since it was confirmed in 2021, but a pair of high-ranking Ford bosses have given the first hints of its design on social media - suggesting a reveal is only a few weeks away. Martin Sander, head of Ford's Model E electrification division, lifted the covers off part of the Skoda Enyaq rival's front end on Twitter, saying: "Can't wait for 2023 to arrive, when we will pull off the cover of our first electric passenger vehicle coming from Cologne." Only a small part of the car is visible, but it is already clear that this new EV will mark a step change in the design of Ford's European-market cars. As reported by Autocar, Ford's most successful US-market cars – the Bronco and F-150 most notably – will influence the design of its future global products. Autocar's prediction for the new MEB-based Ford EV Apart from the new EV's aero-optimised wheel designs, contrasting lower bumper and chunky headlights, everything remains under wraps, but in size and silhouette, it is evident that Ford's new EV will be aimed squarely at cars like the Toyota bZ4X, Nissan Ariya and Volvo XC40 Recharge. Ford's Europe marketing boss, Peter Zillig, posted a darkened preview image of the car to his LinkedIn, similarly giving little away but revealing a charismatic LED front light signature that could become a defining feature of Ford's new-era cars. Zillig said all new Ford models will be designed according to the 'Adventurous Spirit' ethos, which is designed to help Ford "connect emotionally with consumers who say they know we're American, but don't feel we're American". He said: "Adventurous Spirit is meaningful because it is authentic. We’re not inventing something new. Instead, we’re channelling a strength that has helped define Ford for fast-approaching 120 years. We are tapping into something intangible, but real." More specifically, the new MEB car will form part of the 'Active Adventure' model line, together with other mid-sized SUVs such as the Ford Kuga. There are three other 'families' in this new age: 'Wild Performance' is for the Ford Mustang line, 'Urban Escape' is for "statement-making models" like the Ford Puma, and 'Ultimate Outdoor' comprises hardcore off-roaders such as the Bronco and Ranger Raptor. Ford's new European EVs will be built at the Cologne factory where the Fiesta is currently based. The combustion-powered supermini will bow out in July 2023 to make room on the line, and the latest teasers come just a day after Sander told Autocar that it "had to go". “We decided to build our first high-volume electric vehicle here in Cologne. There comes the point where we need the space for construction, because we are turning the Fiesta plant into a fully battery-electric plant. This is why we had to make a decision that we have to stop Fiesta production.” It is expected that the new EV – which is tipped to revive a historic Ford moniker when it is revealed – will be similarly specified to the Volkswagen ID 4 with which it will share the bulk of its make-up. Expect a choice of rear- and four-wheel-drive powertrains, offering outputs ranging from 146bhp to 295bhp, and a pair of battery options giving around 210-300 miles of range. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/new-2023-ford-electric-crossover-be-revealed-march

Russia has enough missiles to carry out yet more heavy strikes against Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelensky has said, following a wave of Russian attacks. Engineers are continuing work to restore electricity after Friday's massive strikes using 76 missiles. The attacks have targeted civilian infrastructure, as temperatures drop below zero in many regions. Russia's President Vladimir Putin has been consulting his military commanders about the future of the war. The Kremlin says Mr Putin spent the whole of Friday at the headquarters of Russia's military operation. "I would like to hear your suggestions on our immediate and medium-term actions," the Russian president said. The defence minister and chief of the general staff were also at the meeting. Kyiv has accused Moscow of using winter as a weapon by targeting essential facilities as temperatures drop. But Russia's president earlier this month vowed to continue to batter Ukraine's infrastructure, saying criticism of Russia's strikes would not interfere with its "combat missions". Ukraine says Russia planning major ground attacks Ukraine says 50m lightbulbs could prove crucial Parts of the Ukrainian capital remained without power and heating on Saturday, the city's Mayor Vitali Klitschko said. But water supplies have now been fully restored in the city. Power has been restored in the country's second city of Kharkiv, authorities said, after it was left without electricity for hours following Friday's wave of strikes that targeted energy stations across the country. Local officials said as many as nine power facilities were hit as Russian forces fired 76 missiles and carried out drone attacks. Kharkiv's mayor said the city suffered "colossal" damage. One resident, Anastaisa, told the BBC the strikes began on Friday morning. "In a matter of minutes, the lights started blinking," the mother of a two-month-old child said. "Just 10 seconds later, we were out of power, everything just went still and that's it." An intensive care nurse in Kharkiv, called Vlad, told the BBC that the staff at his hospital continued to work during the strikes on the city, because they were used to such attacks. Defence Ministry adviser Yuriy Sak told the BBC on Friday that Russia's frequent attacks meant that repairing the damage to electricity infrastructure was getting harder. Elsewhere, in the city of Kryvyi Rih, four people have been confirmed killed after a residential building was hit -a 64-year-old woman, a 30-year-old couple and a one-year-old boy, whose body was found overnight. Another person died in Kherson, authorities said. The alarm was raised across Ukraine on Friday and Commander-in-Chief General Valeriy Zaluzhny said air defences had intercepted 60 of the 76 missiles fired, most of them cruise missiles. Kyiv city officials said about 40 missiles had been fired at the capital alone - one of the biggest barrages since Russia's 24 February invasion. Thirty-seven were brought down by air defences, the officials added. "It's very stressful, but now I'm used to this," said 42-year-old Oksana, who lives in the capital. "I don't want our children to live through this, to be in basements, shelters, I don't want this for them." Russia's attacks also cut power in the north-eastern Sumy region that borders Russia, and also in the central cities of Poltava and Kremenchuk. Russia has launched more than 1,000 missiles and Iranian-made attack drones since the wave of strikes began on 10 October. The UK's Ministry of Defence says there has been an "uptick" in Russia's campaign of long-range strikes against Ukraine's critical infrastructure in recent days. War will be 'at reduced tempo' for months, says US UN human rights commissioner Volker Turk warned Thursday that more attacks on power facilities could "lead to a further serious deterioration in the humanitarian situation and spark more displacement". "I'm angry," said Yelyzaveta, 21. "They [Russia] are destroying our lives. We are used to it now. The most important thing is that Russia isn't here." And Anastasia said that life was becoming more difficult as winter sets in. "When it's daytime it is still OK, it is tolerable and I can manage the situation, but when it's dark outside, this is when my problems begin because I need to see clearly, to measure baby formula and also to attend to the baby - those are stressful," she said "And, of course, just the effect that we are out of power creates a lot of tension and lots of stress. So we just survive through the night and when the day breaks, it gets a bit better, but we cannot compare it to our normal day." https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64010416
