Disinformation about vaccines is still abundant on the Internet. And, according to technology companies, due to its difficulties in dealing with its dissemination, it is a complicated web to unravel. But it may not be. A joint report by the Digital Hate Fighting Center (CCDH) and Anti-Vax Watch found that up to 73 percent of vaccine misinformation on Facebook and 17 percent of vaccine misinformation on Twitter can be provided to 12 individuals. Only twelve!
The accounts apparently avoided banning, regardless of the escalation of Facebook and Twitter. Statements on the report from both platforms point to huge numbers of removed tweets or blocked profiles, but the reality is that misinformation continues to revolve, especially around those disinformation superspreaders in particular. Even today, the CEOs of Twitter, Facebook and Google will testify before Congress about the spread of misinformation.

There are three new models.
Dyson
Dyson is very aware that we all spend more time indoors and a lot more time in our own homes. At the microscopic level (quite revolting), this means that we are all losing more skin and hair cells on our floors, carpets and rugs. The new models of vacuum cleaners from Dyson, in various sizes and prices, claim to offer a level of cleanliness that you can see – and some use lasers for this.
The Dyson V15 Detect, which is the $ 699 showcase model for the company’s technology updates, includes a green laser diode that fires a ‘blade’ of green light, which is apparently the best color to be detected by the human eye. .
The green laser on the cleaning head of the V15 has an angle of 1.5 degrees, leaving 7.2 mm from the ground. This specific distance helps to create “the best contrast between dust and floor,” according to the company’s spokesman. It should also make vacuuming wooden floors a little more exciting, through the stupid and inexplicable appeal of the laser beams.

Metl tires are scheduled to launch early next year.
Intelligent
NASA has been channeling its advanced technology into everyday products for decades. Now, its tire technology has turned into a startup called Smart, which uses airless memory alloy tire (SMA) technology – originally built for lunar and Mars rovers – for an airless bicycle tire.
Composed of interconnected springs that do not require inflation, superelastic tires, says Smart, are built like titanium to withstand rough terrain without becoming flat. The pitch is a walk without holes, and if it is good enough for Mars, it is certainly good enough for that Sunday excursion.

A 55-inch G1 with new ‘OLED evo’ technology starts at $ 2,199.
LG
While MiniLED technology is pulling 4K LCDs forward in the TV battle, LG’s OLED screens have been at the top of the quality stack for several years. Now, the company has launched prices for most of its 2,021 4K OLEDs, including a new A1 line that dispenses with features like a 120 Hz refresh rate and HDMI 2.1 features for a lower price.
A1 models start at $ 1,299 for a 48-inch version that will launch in June, then increase to $ 1,599 for a 55-inch and $ 2,199 for a 65-inch. Most tech fans will be looking for the intermediate C1 series, with prices starting at $ 1,499 for a 48-inch, $ 1,799 for a 55-inch and $ 2,499 for a 65-inch, which will be available this spring .
If you’re willing to spend a little more, sizes go up to 77 inches, and there’s also the impressive G1 series, which for 2021 features “OLED evo” panel technology that promises a better shine than we’re used to with this TV. Continue reading for all current prices and launch windows.

Increasing supply and providing jobs will be great – if you can execute the new strategy.
Walden Kirsch / Intel Corporation
What’s so important about Intel’s fabulous news? Aaron Souppouris explains why the chipmaker’s new “path to parity” and plans to make chips for others can rebalance things in the computer industry. It also describes why previous failed efforts provide reasons to doubt that everything will work as promised.

It is the first fitness tracker to combine optical and electrical heart rate monitoring.
MyZone
MyZone chest strap heart rate monitors often track types of intense fitness during HIIT classes or while using connected treadmills and the rest. But the new MyZone model doesn’t need to wrap your torso to keep up with your workouts. The company says the MZ-Switch is the first device in the world to monitor PPG (photoplethysmography) and ECG (electrocardiography) readings for more accurate activity monitoring with fewer “blind spots”.
Pulse-based heart rate monitors (that is, most wearables) can be affected when you grab an object, affecting blood flow in a way that isn’t really connected to your effort. That said, MyZone says that the wrist monitor should still be 95% accurate “for any activity that doesn’t grab with repeatable movements”, which includes swimming alongside more typical activities like running and HIIT. You can even get faster and more accurate heart rate readings by attaching it to your chest. The MZ-Switch is available for purchase directly from MyZone starting today, priced at $ 160.
