A significant number of users encountered difficulties with Xbox Live gaming services alongside the Microsoft 365 services outage. On Friday, Microsoft addressed and resolved the issues causing an outage in Microsoft 365 services for users in the UK and Germany. More than 1,500 users in the UK experienced problems with Microsoft Teams, as reported by outage detection site Downdetector. A significant number of users encountered difficulties with Xbox Live gaming services alongside the Microsoft 365 services outage. The tech giant also analysed diagnostic data to pinpoint the root cause of the outage. WhatsApp's New 'Protect IP Address' To Enhance Privacy Meta-owned WhatsApp has revealed that its calling feature utilises peer-to-peer connections for swift data transfers and superior audio quality. However, a drawback of this approach is that users are required to share their IP addresses, leading to the exposure of information such as their data provider and geographical location to the other participant. In order to address the issue, WhatsApp has introduced a new privacy feature called 'Protect IP Address in Calls'. By enabling this setting, users calls shift away from P2P connections and instead pass through a server, ensuring the their IP address is hidden from other participants. Epic Games Vs Google Case: Sundar Pichai May Testify Next Week Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Alphabet and Google, is likely to testify in the coming week in Epic Games' legal battle against Google in a US court. Epic Games, the developer of Fortnite, aims to present Pichai as a witness on Tuesday, asserting its case that Google Play constitutes an unlawful monopoly, according to a report by The Verge. The lawsuit was filed after Google pulled Fortnite from the Play store. Epic contends that Google's monopolistic grip over the Google Play Store for Android smartphones breaches both state and federal antitrust laws. Meta, To Let Users Shop On Facebook, Instagram From Amazon Meta has joined hands with Amazon.com to streamline the process of shopping for Amazon products directly through Facebook and Instagram. The social networking giant has introduced a new feature enabling users to connect their Facebook and Instagram accounts to Amazon, thus, facilitating product purchases through a click on promotions within their feeds, says a report by TechCrunch.

The beauty of over-the-air software updates is that you can have a fresh new car almost every time a major update is installed. It also allows carmakers to solve many vehicle issues without scheduling a service appointment for a physical recall. The downside is that, sometimes, updates can cause more harm than good in case something goes wrong. However rare, these instances do occur. In that case, you can be locked out of your vehicle, which is not a very pleasant situation. On Monday, Rivian owners received a new software update that was supposed to improve many aspects of their ownership, as many times before. The 2023.42 software update introduced a better Phone as a Key experience and many bug fixes. Although the update did well in internal testing, it soft-bricked customers' vehicles who rushed to install it. The update would stall at 90%, leaving the cars with non-functional infotainment systems. Thankfully, most critical functions work, so the vehicles can still be driven. Many owners complained about the lack of communication from Rivian, although the company's software chief, Wassym Bensaid, explained the situation on Reddit. Rivian also sent emails to affected owners, although it did so quite late, on Tuesday afternoon. While some owners discovered on their own that they could still drive their Rivians, they did not know whether it was safe. Since then, the communication has improved, with Rivian stating that the vehicles are safe to drive until the startup finds a solution. The vehicles can still be shifted into gear, backup cameras show up, and various other functions work. However, many functions that are accessed via the infotainment screen are unavailable. These include climate controls and safety assistance systems like Adaptive Cruise Control and Driver+. In some cases, you can still change these settings via the Rivian app. Climate control is one of them, but you must do it before entering the vehicle. The Rivian app can also be used for other functions, such as lock and unlock, closure control, and others. Based on the most recent communication, Rivian has identified a solution and will roll it out on Wednesday. Hopes are high that it will be offered over the air without the customers needing to go to a service center. However, Wassym Bensaid warned that, in some cases, a physical repair might be required. Since Rivian Service Centers are few and far between, some users might have to travel long distances with a partly functional vehicle and no driver assistance systems. https://www.autoevolution.com/news/what-s-working-and-what-s-not-after-rivian-botched-the-202342-software-update-224500.html

ajan Devshi, 38, says that he first heard about passive income during the 2020 pandemic lockdowns. With almost everyone at home, and many people on furlough, Devshi noticed more and more people on his Facebook and TikTok pages posting about the creative ways that they were making money with minimal effort. "This ranged from cryptocurrency to drop-shipping to ecommerce," says Devshi, who is based in Leicestershire, UK. "I particularly liked the idea of starting something up and then letting it maintain itself with minimal input. This would mean I could still have time to do other things that are important to me and make money at the same time." Seeing all the options, he felt motivated to "find something productive to do in the evenings outside of my working hours". Doing something that could make even a small amount of passive income in return would be handy, he'd thought. So, once Devshi had finished work and put his children to bed, he started to research different niches that content creators were describing. Passive income – income that takes minimal labour to earn and maintain – was once mainly a preserve of the wealthy, who were able to own assets such as rental properties, or build investment portfolios that paid dividends like clockwork. Yet the concept has taken on a new life since the pandemic, with millennials and Gen Zers leading the pack by finding increasingly creative methods of forging passive income streams. Experts say that the current interest in passive income comes from the confluence of a challenging job landscape and the influence of social media. While passive revenue streams can work for some people, others may find the dream of a low-effort income might not be all it seems. The right conditions TikTok and Instagram are full of videos and posts about ways to make money "in your sleep". In one TikTok video, which has almost 10 million views and 800,000 likes as of this writing, a content creator tells their followers they can make thousands of pounds by designing a blank journal that Amazon will then print and sell, informing them that they will be able to "sit back and collect all your profits while Amazon does all the work". In another, an influencer tells viewers they can make "5 to 10k a month online as a complete beginner" by promoting other people's products on social media. https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20231106-passive-income-can-easy-side-hustles-earn-big-money

Warhammer Quest was a well-liked Games Workshop board game from 1995, a halfway point between dungeon crawls like HeroQuest and tabletop roleplaying games. Its videogame adaptation was released on PC in 2015, and while its simplicity kept it from topping the list of the best Warhammer games, it made an ideal laptop time-filler. Which is why it's a shame that in October it was announced that Warhammer Quest is being delisted on Steam. Ian Baverstock, director of publisher Chilled Mouse, told PC Gamer that December 12 will be the day of Warhammer Quest's removal from Steam, although "It isn't being delisted from GOG at this time." Presumably GOG is subject to different licensing terms, which makes sense given its original remit as the home of Good Old Games. Man O' War: Corsair, a kind of "Sid Meier's Pirates goes Warhammer", also suffered a delisting on Steam but remains available on GOG. Warhammer Quest's sequels, Warhammer Quest 2: The End Times and Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower, the latter of which is set during the Age of Sigmar, won't be affected. The original was the best, however, thanks to its between-dungeon text segments, which made it feel like a choose-your-own-adventure book with Warhammer theming.With a review rating of Mostly Positive, Warhammer Quest clearly did OK on Steam over the course of almost nine years there. Its forum users have responded to the announcement by recalling the good times, with one thread declaring "I can't explain why, but this is one of my favorite games of all time." As a reply puts it, "This is such a great game! It really does a good job of translating the table top experience I had playing the original back in the day." Jody's first computer was a Commodore 64, so he remembers having to use a code wheel to play Pool of Radiance. A former music journalist who interviewed everyone from Giorgio Moroder to Trent Reznor, Jody also co-hosted Australia's first radio show about videogames, Zed Games. He's written for Rock Paper Shotgun, The Big Issue, GamesRadar, Zam, Glixel, Five Out of Ten Magazine, and Playboy.com, whose cheques with the bunny logo made for fun conversations at the bank. Jody's first article for PC Gamer was about the audio of Alien Isolation, published in 2015, and since then he's written about why Silent Hill belongs on PC, why Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is the best fantasy shopkeeper tycoon game, and how weird Lost Ark can get. Jody edited PC Gamer Indie from 2017 to 2018, and he eventually lived up to his promise to play every Warhammer videogame. https://www.pcgamer.com/warhammer-quest-is-being-delisted-from-steam-in-december-but-will-remain-available-on-gog/

A Michigan judge on Tuesday dismissed a lawsuit that tried to use the 14th Amendment’s “insurrectionist ban” to remove Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 ballot. The judge separately ruled that Michigan’s secretary of state doesn’t have the power under state law to determine the former president’s eligibility for office based on the 14th Amendment, which says anyone who took an oath to uphold the US Constitution is banned from office if they “engaged in insurrection.” The rulings mark a major victory for Trump, who recent polls show has a commanding lead in the 2024 Republican presidential primary race, as he fends off lawsuits in key states that argue he fueled the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol and is therefore disqualified. Last week, the Minnesota Supreme Court rejected a related constitutional challenge against Trump in that state. A similar anti-Trump challenge is pending in Colorado, where a ruling is expected by the end of this week. Regardless of the initial rulings in these closely watched cases, most experts anticipate appeals that go all the way to the US Supreme Court, which could settle the issue for the entire nation. Indeed, the liberal advocacy group involved in the Michigan case said Tuesday that it was filing an “immediate appeal” and would also ask the state Supreme Court to step in and hear the case.The 14th Amendment, ratified after the Civil War, says US officials who take an oath to uphold the Constitution are banned from future office if they “engaged in insurrection.” But the Constitution doesn’t say how to enforce the ban, and it has only been applied twice since 1919, which is why many experts view these challenges as a long shot. These lawsuits have been filed by left-leaning advocacy groups, but a bipartisan array of legal scholars and former jurists have endorsed their attempts to disqualify Trump from office. Some of the cases have been filed by well-funded advocacy groups, and others were brought by little-known candidates or concerned citizens – but none of them have succeed yet in removing Trump from any ballot. While these rulings preserve Trump’s spot on key GOP primary ballots, the rulings in Michigan and Minnesota kept the door open to future challenges regarding his eligibility in the November 2024 general election. Judge points to Congress’ role Michigan Court of Claims Judge James Redford said in his decision Tuesday that questions about Trump’s role in the January 6, 2021, insurrection – and whether it constitutionally bars him from returning to the White House – should be addressed by elected representatives in Congress. He ruled that the matter was a “political question” that shouldn’t be decided by the judicial branch. The judge also said he didn’t have the authority under state law to force election officials to examine Trump’s eligibility based on the 14th Amendment. A court disqualifying Trump would’ve taken that decision away from “a body made up of elected representatives of the people of every state in the nation, and gives it to but one single judicial officer, a person who no matter how well intentioned, evenhanded, fair and learned, cannot in any manner or form possibly embody the represented qualities of every citizen of the nation,” Redford wrote. He explained his reasoning in a trio of rulings: two cases sought to block Trump from the Michigan ballot, and a countersuit that Trump filed to preserve his position on the ballot. Redford heard oral arguments last week in all three cases. Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson, a Democrat, announced Monday the list of names for the 2024 presidential primaries in the Wolverine State – including Trump. State law requires Benson to publish a list of candidates based on press coverage of the campaign, and she said that this would be the final list, “barring a court order.” Rejecting arguments from the anti-Trump challengers that this was the right time to disqualify Trump, the judge said it was far too early in the election cycle. Trump has yet to clinch the GOP nomination, and the 2024 general election hasn’t been held, he said. Even if Trump wins the presidency, and then faces new lawsuits over whether he is disqualified from serving, the 20th Amendment spells out a process for what should happen if the president-elect is no longer “qualified” to serve: The vice president-elect would ascend to the presidency. “As unsettling as such a process could be, it is the process provided for in the Constitution and is preferable to potentially having 50 or more separate trials … where the results could then be completely contradictory and which would then have to survive the various state appellate processes – all in the extremely short time before the various state primaries,” Redford wrote. Both sides react The Trump campaign celebrated the decision, which keeps him on the ballot in a pivotal battleground state that he carried in 2016 but lost to President Joe Biden in 2020. It pointed out that the Michigan ruling came after similar victories in Minnesota and New Hampshire – cases that the Michigan judge cited in his opinion issued Tuesday. “Each and every one of these ridiculous cases have lost because they are all un-Constitutional left-wing fantasies orchestrated by monied allies of the Biden campaign seeking to turn the election over to the courts and deny the American people the right to choose their next president,” Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said. Free Speech For People, the advocacy group that filed the Michigan and Minnesota cases on behalf of voters in the two states, criticized the judge in a statement. It said Redford “adopted a discredited theory” about Congress’ role in enforcing the 14th Amendment and argued that the New Hampshire ruling he cited “relied on overruled cases.” “The Michigan Supreme Court should reverse this badly-reasoned lower court decision,” said Ron Fein, the group’s legal director. “While our appeal is pending, the trial court’s decision isn’t binding on any other court, and we continue our current and planned legal actions in other states to enforce Section 3 of the 14th Amendment against Donald Trump.” This story has been updated with additional information. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/11/14/politics/michigan-judge-trump-14th-amendment/index.html

Historically, safety assessments of chemicals in food and feed (as well as for medicines, consumer products, industrial and other chemicals) have relied on evidence from animal experiments. This core practice in evaluating risks from chemicals has, by and large, ensured the safety of our food since the 1950s. However, society and scientists are increasingly questioning this practice, both for ethical and scientific reasons. We all want to reduce the suffering of the animals – improvements have been made in recent years thanks to promotion of the three Rs – to replace, reduce, and refine animal testing. The use of alternative tools to generate more representative information about toxicokinetics (TK) (how the body manages chemicals) and toxicity/toxicodynamics (TD) (what chemicals do to the body) is becoming a reality too. Step forward, “TKPlate”!Scientists at EFSA and several top European research organisations teamed up to create “TKPlate”. It is an online platform that offers a space and a suite of tools for scientists and regulators to model and predict TK and TD properties. Two senior scientists at EFSA – toxicologist Jean-Lou Dorne, and statistician/modeller Jose Cortiñas Abrahantes – are leading this work. Jean-Lou: “The idea for TKPlate started in 2014 with a scientific report on alternative methods to animal testing that could be used by EFSA’s experts. The report proposed the development of a series of TK and TD models. Toxicokinetics tells us how the body absorbs, distributes, metabolises and excretes the chemical. Toxicodynamics explores the toxic effects on molecules, cells, tissues, organs or a whole organism .” Jose: “Between 2015 and 2020, EFSA developed these TK models and produced many case studies for a range of species relevant to EFSA’s work: humans, test animals like rats and mice, farm animals and other species that have a role in the food and feed chain such as earth worms. We contracted out to academic partners and national agencies important parts of the work, which have resulted in several successful doctorates by young scientists.” https://www.efsa.europa.eu/en/news/introducing-tkplate-food-safety-without-animal-testing

Auto theft in Ontario reached “historic highs” last year with Honda CR-Vs as the most stolen vehicle in the province, according to a recent report. Équité Association, an organization with the goal of reducing crime and insurance fraud, released its list of the top 10 most stolen vehicles in Ontario and across Canada. Honda CR-V SUVs were the most stolen vehicle in Ontario last year, with 2,684 cars stolen. They were also the most stolen cars in Canada overall, with over 5,600 thefts last year.“Auto thefts in 2022 reached historical highs, with Ontario increasing by 48 per cent and Quebec up 50 per cent, putting Canada in the spotlight internationally as a source country for illegal trade,” a news release by the company states. “Auto theft is more than an insurance problem; it is a serious issue that is threatening public safety. The proceeds from auto theft are known to fund organized crime and terrorism, both domestically and internationally.” Last month, the Toronto Police Service recovered over 1,000 vehicles with an estimated $60 million during a year-long investigation into the thefts of cars and catalytic converters in the city’s west end. So far, in 2023, Toronto police said they’re aware of 9,747 vehicles stolen in the city, including more than 3,500 stolen in 22 and 23 Divisions during the joint investigation. The auto theft problem in our country is only getting worse," Équité Association's VP of Investigative Services, Bryan Gast, said in a release. "Organized crime continues to look to Canada as a source nation for stolen vehicles where the financial reward is high and the risk of prosecution is low." The report reveals that Lexus RX Series vehicles are the second-most stolen vehicles in Ontario, with 1,707 thefts, and Dodge Ram 1500 pick-up trucks are next with 1,405 reported thefts. Compared to 2021's list, 147 Ram trucks were reportedly stolen, showing a drastic jump in thefts for this kind of vehicle. New to the list are Acura RDX SUVs, with just shy of 460 thefts reported in 2022. The top 10 most stolen vehicle types -- including the make, model, and vehicle type – last year in Ontario are as follows: 1. Honda CR-V (2020), SUV, 2,684 thefts 2. Lexus RX Series (2020), SUV, 1,707 thefts 3. Dodge RAM 1500 Series (2022), Truck, 1,405 thefts 4. Toyota Highlander (2021), SUV, 1,344 thefts 5. Land Rover Range Rover (2020), SUV, 1,225 thefts 6. Ford F150 Series (2020), SUV, 1,225 thefts 7. Jeep Grand Cherokee (2021), SUV, 766 thefts 8. Jeep Wrangler (2021), SUV, 689 thefts 9. Honda Civic (2019), Sedan, 630 thefts 10. Acura RDX (2021), SUV, 459 thefts AUTO INSURERS PAID OVER $1 BILLION IN THEFT CLAIMS LAST YEAR In addition to the increase in auto theft, Équité Association found that private auto insurers paid out $1.2 billion in theft claims last year. This has caused some insurance companies to raise rates if the car is at a higher risk of being stolen. “At a time when inflation and affordability are putting excess strain on consumers, Canadian’s are paying more to cover the costs associated with auto theft – from law enforcement and court resources, the physical and emotional consequences, to the general economic crisis,” the organization said. According to RatesDotca, in some cases, a 35-year-old man driving a 2020 Honda CR-V in Toronto with no prior convictions saw his comprehensive insurance premium increase 26 per cent over the last year. https://www.cp24.com/news/auto-theft-reached-historic-highs-in-ontario-last-year-here-are-the-most-stolen-vehicles-1.6645138

The Pittsburgh Steelers are the first NFL team to announce that they will sit out the national anthem as a team. Steelers coach Mike Tomlin told CBS before today’s game in Chicago that he and his team have decided they will remain in the locker room following President Trump’s suggestion that players who don’t stand for the anthem should be fired. “We’re not going to play politics,” Tomlin said. “We’re football players, we’re football coaches. We’re not participating in the anthem today. Not to be disrespectful to the anthem, but to remove ourselves from this circumstance. People shouldn’t have to choose. If a guy wants to go about his normal business and participate in the anthem, he shouldn’t have to be forced to choose sides. If a guy feels the need to do something, he shouldn’t be separated from his teammate who chooses not to. So we’re not participating today. That’s our decision. We’re going to be 100 percent. We came here to play a football game. That’s our intent.” Protests began with the early Ravens-Jaguars kickoff in London and are expected across the NFL in response to Trump’s comments. Among the Steelers players staying in the locker room will be left tackle Alejandro Villanueva, who served three tours of duty in Afghanistan. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/mike-tomlin-were-not-participating-in-the-anthem-today

rom the soothing lullaby cementing the bond between mother and child, to the chaotic swell of the mosh pit at full pelt, music can act as a powerful social glue. Could it also be a salve for the epidemic of loneliness in care homes? Psychologist, pastor and refugee Dr Kayonda Hubert Ngamaba thinks so. Dr Ngamaba leads Bolton’s Ephrata Community Church, which acts as a hub for African diaspora across the north west of England, particularly Congolese. His medicine is the church choir’s eclectic repertoire of English and French hymns, hypnotic chants, and traditional African songs performed in Lingala (a Congolese language). A monthly dose of music prescribed to a handful of local care homes has yielded heart-warming results. “When the choir started dancing, we saw residents standing up and joining in,” says Ngamaba. “The staff were amazed – these were residents who usually just sat in their bedrooms. The sense of joy was amazing.” The UK has around 430,000 people living in fewer than 18,000 care homes. Research suggests that older residents are more than twice as likely to suffer with severe loneliness than people living in a community setting. One study by the University of Bedfordshire found as many as 80 per cent of adults with mental health problems living in care were lonely. “Some residents rarely get a visit from family and care home staff are busy,” says Ngamaba, a research fellow at the University of York’s school for business and society. “They might have a few minutes with a resident to check if they’ve had their medication, or if they’ve had a shower, and then they have to move on. They don’t have time to connect, so patients feel lonely.” The knock-on effects on health, both mental and physical, are dire – as bad as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, according to The Campaign to end Loneliness. As a psychologist contracted by the UK’s National Health Service (NHS), Ngamaba saw loneliness first hand in daily practice, but came up with his low-cost, community-first remedy while visiting a member of his 80-strong congregation who had found herself temporarily living in social care. “She told me she was bored,” he says. “There was nothing to do, and she was missing the choir. The idea started from there. I thought if she can’t come to the choir, we would take the choir to her.” Ephrata began working with four Bolton care homes in 2016. Up to 10 choristers visited each month, bringing not just their voices but guitars and keyboards, too. They took requests and went away to learn the songs by watching YouTube videos. Residents and staff were given lyric sheets and were encouraged to join in with sing-a-longs. Group singing, says Ngamaba, fosters connectedness and boosts levels of the so-called ‘love hormone’, oxytocin. As a low-key workout it strengthens the immune system and lowers stress. And for some care home residents suffering with dementia, it offers a chance to connect not only with each other but also with rekindled childhood memories, a joyous reach back into the past. When the choir started dancing, residents stood up and joined in. The sense of joy was amazing Says choir leader Perseverant Mupolo: “We found that the singing started conversations. They may not remember the whole song, but they remember learning it in Sunday school as children and practicing at home with mum and dad. For some, it’s a wonderful moment.” Covid pressed pause on Ephrata’s outreach programme, which launched in 2016. However, Beechville care home, a specialist in dementia care, welcomed the choir back recently. “The residents love it,” says Beechville’s activity coordinator Diana Bellusci. “It’s uplifting. It puts everybody in a good mood, not just the residents but the staff as well.” Main image: SeventyFour/iStock https://www.positive.news/society/the-african-choirs-cheering-up-englands-care-homes/
