I’ve been a Mets fan since Sept. 5, 1995 — that’s the day I was born. All I remember from my first Mets game was everything I did before the game, but nothing about the game itself. I’ve been told the Mets played a doubleheader that day, and I impressed my parents by lasting through two whole games, but I really don’t remember that. In fact, I don’t remember much about being a Mets fan until 2006....

According to 9to5Google, the tech giant is working on the development of “quick phrases,” so you won’t have to prompt the voice assistant every time you need something. Specifically, quick phrases would work with the most-asked commands, such as “turn up the volume,” “create a reminder,” “set an alarm for 8 a.m.,” “what’s the weather,” and more. The commands you can choose to be quick phrases reportedly are categorized as Recommended, Alarms, Connect, General info, Lights, Media Controls, Timers, and To-Dos....
Message reactions from iPhone users has been a major sore point for many Messages users for some time, but it’s finally being taken care of. With its most recent update, the app now displays reactions from iPhone users as emojis rather than as a text description.

It was an interesting play from Google to make VR immediately more accessible to a large population without bringing an exorbitant price tag along with it. The minimalist setup worked well enough, although it didn’t necessarily manage to turn heads against more refined products such as the Oculus series or the Valve Index. The project was brought to an open-source platform, where it remains, yet the good news ultimately ends there....

According to a post from Google’s Threat Analysis Group (TAG), the company blames Russian hacking group APT 28, also known as Fancy Bear. The group has been so prolific in its efforts that Google saw a 33% increase in attacks from this same time in 2020. Fancy Bear’s hacking strategy appears to be large-scale phishing and malware campaigns, and when an attempt is detected, Google immediately sends out a notification....
Both Android and iOS users have reported strange happenings in Google Maps, with the app’s voice changing on its own. Many have shared accounts of the voice giving them directions suddenly shifting to a deep-voiced man with a slight accent. It seems the app will start by randomly swapping between this voice and the user’s selected one a few times before eventually settling on this new one. While this is obviously some sort of bizarre bug, there is still some mystery behind it....
Attorney Susan Shogren Smith was sanctioned by a Minnesota court on Friday after she “bamboozled” voters into being named as plaintiffs in five complaints aimed at overturning the results of the 2020 election, Pioneer Press reported. “Susan Shogren Smith … perpetrated a fraud against this court and, more importantly, perpetrated a fraud against these plaintiffs,” Ramsey County Chief District Judge Leonardo Castro said Friday. Friday’s ruling came after Shogren Smith filed five complaints in a state court on December 1, naming as defendants Secretary of State Steve Simon, Congresswoman Omar, and every other Democratic candidate who won their congressional races....
GOP candidate Tim Eyman equated Inslee’s preventative measures with the May 25 death of George Floyd, an unarmed black man who died after his neck was pinned to the ground for nearly 9 minutes by a white police officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota. “Jay Inslee has his knee on the neck of business owners and citizens throughout the state and they’re suffocating under that,” Eyman said during a Facebook Live video on Thursday....
Angela Stanton-King is running to fill a traditionally Democratic congressional seat in Atlanta that civil rights leader John Lewis held until his death earlier this year. During her recent interview with The Guardian, Stanton-King denied that she is a spokesperson for President Donald Trump, whose policies she said she supports, and also denied having connections with QAnon. “I’m not a spokesperson for Donald Trump,” Stanton-King told the paper. “I don’t know why this reporter keeps asking me about Donald Trump....
The Giants wide receiver appealed but an arbiter ruled against him Tuesday and Tate’s appeal was denied. He is entering his first season with New York, which will now be without its key acquisition as it works through its offense. “This morning, I received the unfortunate news that my appeal was denied,” Tate said in a statement Tuesday. “I went into this arbitration with the understanding that due to the facts, unlike many other cases, we could be the exception to win....
In an interview with Mel Magazine, GoldenEye 007 gameplay and engine programmer Mark Edmonds confirmed that playing as Oddjob in multiplayer is “definitely cheating.” Edmonds went on to explain, “We could have put something in to stop this blatant cheating, but why not just let players decide on their own rules?” Since GoldenEye 007 only has local multiplayer, this makes sense, as players are free to play the game with their friends however they want....

Palmer is widely regarded as the man most responsible for popularising golf worldwide as television was coming of age in the early 1960s and every leading player in the modern era acknowledges the huge debt they owe the man known as ‘The King’....
