Patch notes incoming. As revealed in a press release yesterday, Amazon has opted to renew Upload, its comedy about the digital afterlife, for a second season. Like the first season, the show will stream on Amazon Prime. In the presser, creator and director Greg Daniels said, I am thrilled to continue a great r nike sb dunk elationship with Amazon Studios and this wonderful cast and find out what happens next to Nora and Nathan and Ingrid and their 2033 world. With this news I can stop drawing my season 2 flip book. Daniels, bes yeezy t known for his work on The Office and Parks and Recreation, created Upload, a show taking place in a near-future where people can upload their brains to a digital afterlife, one of their choice out of a wide bevy of options. It stars Robbie Amell as Nathan, an app developer who, on his deathbed, makes a questionable choice, and now has to spend eternity learning to manage his new reality alongside his girlfriend Ingrid Allegra Edwards and her family. The first season of Upload premiered on Amazon Prime last week, on May 1st. While we havent covered it in-depth as of yet, we did give it the laudable distinction of not being canceled or postponed due to covid-19. Its helmed by a pretty yeezy slide funny creator, though, so its probably an interesting time.

Greetings, one and all. In todays mailbag: Why does it seem like DC Comics is rebooting itself salomon xt again When does waiting in line for a con exclusive stop being worth it And why am I still getting questions about Batman v Superman when I already answered like 200 of them earlier this week Snow Job Sara S.: crocs schuhe Why does Hollywood lie to us so much, especially when we know theyre lying, and they know we know theyre lying Its so infuriating!!! I mean for salomon mujer instance this Jon Snow thing is absurd. We all know hes coming back in season six. But every time people ask Kit Harrington or D 038;D or any of the others actors, they all swear hes dead. Yes we all know hes technically dead but hes also still coming back. Weve basically known it since A Dance with Dragons came out but even the people who dont read the books have surely figured out something is up by now if theyre not stupid. Why do they insult us by lying to us !!! A few things are going on here. The first is that the Game of Thrones TV series has had an incredible run of shocking moments, and the show has gotten used having them. They obviously want the very probable resurrection of Jon Snow to be one of them, which is why theyre all adamantly saying hes dead in every single interview. They want it to be a surprise when the pops back up, which is a reasonable thing to want. I doubt they lose any sleep over it because they know theyre probably not technically lying. While a few people may still believe that someone is going

Imagine you spent more than $44,000 for a new car鈥攁nd in some cases more than $58,000鈥攐nly for it to arrive at your home without all its USB ports. In some cases, there are onlyholes where the USB ports are supposed to be. Thats purportedly whats been happening to some Tesla owners who got their cars delivered in November, and it is probably not pleasant. A new Electrek report breaks down the case of the missing USB-C ports in new Tesla Model 3s and Model Ys, which the company is supposedly attributing to the global chip shortage. In recent days, the outlet came across a n uggs barn umber of聽complaints from new Tesla owners on social media who had received deliveries beginning Nov. 11. However, its not cle adidas campus 80s ar how widespread the problem is. It appears that the cars are missing the USB ports on the back wall of the center console, though there are some reports of the rear seat USB port being MIA, too. As if that werent enough, the outlet notes that owners without cent adidas samba er console USB ports also cant get wireless charging to work. Nonetheless, Electrek reports that it appears the cars are not completely without USB ports, they just dont have all of them. Some of the affected owners were given a heads up about the missing USB ports, while others discovered them for themselves once they had their new car. Just got a call from Tesla about my Model Y LR. I am set to take delivery tomorrow, and apparently there are no USB ports installed in the car due to shortage, a Tesla Model Y owner wrot Kytr Big Mouth s New Season Looks Buggy as Hell
This is probably going to terrify you, but youve adidas originals samba got a ticking time bomb in your lap, or your purse, or nestled into your back pocket. If you have a consumer electronic device powered by a rechargeable battery there is a v adidas samba og ery good chance it is a lithium-based battery. Which means when you toss your kid your phone, youre tossing them a firebomb too. Of course the likelihood of that device actually exploding is pretty small. Something like 1 in 10 million, Ken Boyce, a battery expert and principal engineer director at UL, told Gizmodo. And as Boyce notes, there are currently billions of lithium batteries out there. Two decades of improvements by engineers and material scientists, assisted by safety science gurus like those at UL, have made the nearly ubiquitous lithium battery safer. Yet the fundamental nature of lithium batteries means the potential for a weenie roaster is always there. That was a rude awakening for consumers back in 1995. Apple launched its Powerbook 5300 that year, and was one of the earliest adopters of lithium batteries. But when the Powerbook 5300 started catching on fire and a recall was launched, it cost the company millions and tech pundits started ringing the apocalypse bell. Fortunately the tech has now improved to the point that, when Apple batteries started swelling and sometimes catching fire in 2007, it was merely a cause for a quiet recall. Thats why the current Samsun adidas campus g Note 7 fiasco is so fascinating. Following many, many explosions, th

Chrome OS users are reporting an alarming bug in the latest stable version of the operating syste yeezy foam m. Something in the most recent update is causing the CPU usage to sky rocket to 50-100 percent capacity on certain systems. Amusingly, developers believe it may be related to checking the CPU usage in the task manager itself. This issue appears to only be affecting users on the Stable v72 or the newer beta and dev updates of Chrome OS. According to a smattering of complaints on the official yeezy Chromium blog as well as numerous posts on Reddit, people have found that Chrome OS on some devices such as the Pixelbook and Pixel Slate seems to be using all of its CPU, resulting in reported hits to performance, overheating, and reduced battery life. Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Gizmodo but Chromium developers have acknowledged the issue in the yeezy bug report. Speculation among commenters traced the root of the problem to the inclusion of Android Pie. But the growing consensus is that the problem goes away when the task manager is closed. One user reported that CPU usage returns to normal when running Chrome in guest mode, which doesnt support Android鈥攊ndicating that there could be multiple issues at play. One Chromium developer put out a call for general feedback that they later took back saying they were feeling confident the Task Manager problem is the main one here.

Its a big day for exoplane skechers ts. Not only did NASA confirm that it has spotted seven exoplanets that have Earth-like qualities orbiting TRAPPIST-1, but the makers of the popular massively multiplayer game EVE Online have announced a crowdsourcing effort to get players to identify exoplanets while they explore virtual space. https://gizmodo/these-seven-earth-sized ... 1792604101 This is the second edition of EVE Onlines mini-game feature known as Project Discovery. The first round tasked players with classifying human protein data from a large collection of cell images.

You might assume a kids movie dropping a character whose sole characteristic is his desire to molest female characters without their consent is an unequivocally good thing, but its actually more complicated than you might think.

Fox News declared President Trump victorious last week, insisting that his unhinged threats against North Korea had deterred the country from planning a missile launch. North Korea had previously threatened to shoot a missile over Japan that would land in the waters near Guam. But those celebrations may have been a bit premature. North Korea released a new animated video over the weekend depicting a missile attack against the US territory of Guam. Footage of North Koreas successful missile tests of the Hwasong-14 ICBM are followed by an animated sequence that zooms in on the territory of Guam from space. NK News was the first English-language outlet to spot the propaganda video, which shows various American leaders like Vice President Mike Pence, CIA head Mike Pompeo, Secretary of State Jim Mattis, and Joint Chiefs of Staff Joseph Dunford.

Science is back with more sobering news about vaping. A letter published in the New England Journal of Medicine claims that vapor produced by electronic cigarettes contains a high concentration of formaldehyde, a known carcinogen. But don ;t panic quite yet. These types of experiments tend to be pretty controversial and ba nike sb dunk sically divisive. We already knew from multiple past studies that e-cig vapor can include dangerous chemicals like formalehyde, not to mention awful-sounding crap like acetaldehyde, toluene, cadmium, nickel, and lead. The real question is how much, and does it mean vaping is air force 1 dangerous, and does it mean it just as dangerous as combustible cigarettes. The NEJM letter is based on an experiment headed by Portland State University chemistry professor David Peyton. He explained the experiment thusly to NPR: We simulated vaping by drawing the vapor鈥攖he aerosol鈥攊nto a syringe, sort of simulating the lungs.

It is being reported that owners would get a $500 Visa debit card and a $500 voucher for oil changes, services or merchandise from dealers.Volkswagenrsquo sales have so far suffered in the wake of the scandal.
