Following an initial order just for a DMZ pilot in 2019, HBO Max has now decided to go all in and expand it to a limited series.

The inability of robots to adapt is a symptom of their growing complexity–the more we want them to do, the harder it is to build them for every contingency. This limitation is the biggest obstacle to making robots more useful around the house, attached to the human body, in our cities and streets. Almost all commercial robots now work in tightly regulated environments such as the factory floor, where objects are always where they’re supposed to be, and people are nowhere near....
This article explains what to expect during a mammogram and how to reduce discomfort and anxiety during your next screening. When Would a Mammogram Cause Pain?

Tight end Marcedes Lewis and wideout Cecil Shorts III are still there, and there’s some buzz around rookie Marqise Lee since Ace Sanders (substance abuse) will be suspended the first four games of the season, but with a rookie quarterback in Blake Bortles, it’s tough to trust any of Jacksonville’s receivers.

Apple has designed iOS – and iPadOS – in such a way that it is very difficult for malware, including viruses, to penetrate its defences. This is a good thing, but remember that modern antivirus software does far more than detecting and blocking viruses. In fact, calling it ‘antivirus software’ does it a disservice as the threats go way beyond viruses these days. The latest security software protects your device – and you – from a much wider range of dangers....

Why were taxpayer dollars spent on such a project? Late last year House intel-committee chair Pete Hoekstra and Senate intel chair Pat Roberts pressed Negroponte’s office to make the Iraqi docs available. They and others, including The Weekly Standard magazine, said the material might show Saddam did have WMD or ties to Al Qaeda. So the Defense Intelligence Agency began to review 48,000 boxes of material, located in a U....

Can I Use Alexa Without Wi-Fi? The processing power and storage available on Alexa devices are very limited, so most of Alexa’s functionality relies on an internet connection provided via Wi-Fi. That can be a standard Wi-Fi network like you have at home that uses your home internet connection, mobile data from a dedicated hotspot device, or a phone set up to work as a hotspot. Can Alexa Work With Mobile Data?...

One such company who saw huge margins from DLC in recent months was Electronic Arts. With several notable titles released within 2014, EA was likely to make a sizable profit regardless, but the added bonus of DLC money was actually more lucrative when it comes to total digital downloads. According to a recent Digital Net Revenue chart (seen below) from Electronic Arts, “Extra Content” in Q3 saw a 47% percent bump when compared to the same quarter last year....
Earth to Howard: E-mail home. You’ve gone utterly, completely, totally mad. First, I must confess that I am opposed to Starbuckification-the seemingly relentless march of chain stores that have put Mom and Pop out of business, turned New York City into a soulless Gaphattan and transformed our nation’s landscape into one transcontinental strip mall. No, I wasn’t out there on the barricades in Seattle, hurling chairs through windows or chaining myself to a 14-year-old girl with purple hair-hey, I’m a passionless Yuppie, after all....
A successful FWB requires that all parties involved take frequent stock of their emotions, needs, and expectations. While some folks can talk daily without getting emotionally attached, other people may find it hard not to become attached unless they minimize interactions. Is it bad if you get attached? Not necessarily: there are plenty of couples who go from a no-strings-attached relationship to a committed romance. But it’s also very common for one party in a FWB scenario to become attached—while the other doesn’t....

In fact, many people think that the MRI will show the healthcare provider and physical therapist exactly what is wrong, and that he or she can then—and only then—prescribe the correct treatment. Not exactly. What Diagnostic Tests Show X-rays and MRIs are tools that can give your healthcare provider a pretty good idea of the current state of tissues in your body....
According to figures from our sister company IDC in its smartphone market share report, Android has a market share of around 86 percent, with iOS running on less than 15 percent of mobile devices worldwide. So, quite apart from the fact that iPhones are more secure by design, it’s no wonder that the criminals are going after Android users. But do you really need to install an antivirus app on your phone that is going to use up yet more battery power as well as potentially slow it down and bombard you with irritating notifications?...
In the literature, there are only a handful of case reports, or accounts, or bloody sweat. There are some hypotheses as to what causes or triggers hematohidrosis, but empirical support is lacking. Furthermore, no evidence-based treatment for hematohidrosis exists. Let’s take a look at the little we do know about sweating blood. Symptoms Hematohidrosis happens over intact, unbroken skin without lesions. It usually occurs during times of emotional stress. It can also happen during exercise or sleep....
