LONDON: Former US Vice President Al Gore on Tuesday (Aug 25) accused President Donald Trump of trying to "put his knee on the neck of democracy" by undermining mail-in voting and sowing doubts, without evidence, about the integrity of the Nov 3 election. "He seems to have no compunctions at all about trying to rip apart the social fabric and the political equilibrium of the American people, and he's strategically planting doubts in advance," Gore, a Democrat, said during a Reuters Newsmaker event with Reuters Editor-in-Chief Stephen Adler and Editor-at-Large Harold Evans.

Windows 10 ’s feature update for the first half of 2021 (known as 21H1) has finally been announced by Microsoft, with the software giant confirming that it will be a minor update, as has long been rumored . An official blog post by John Cable, VP of Windows Servicing and Delivery at Microsoft, noted that this was the first time an H1 update – one that arrives in the first half of the year – will be “delivered in an optimized way using servicing technology”. We solve 100 common Windows 10 problems How to speed up Windows 10 How to uninstall a Windows 10 update That’s fancy talk for the 21H1 update being an enablement package, or a minor update which is a tiny download and simply flicks a switch to turn on the small amount of changes and tweaks involved (content which has already been preloaded for recent Windows 10 versions). You’ll likely recall that this was the case with the most recent October 2020 Update ( 20H2 ).

Valorant Agent Astra Comes To Game Alongside Battle Pass On March 2
Riot Games has revealed a new agent for Valorant, Astra, who will be able to cause chaos with astronomy-themed attacks and a powerful Gravity Well ability. The agent, originally from Ghana, acts as a controller in matches and should help to keep the other team from making coordinated strikes. She'll be live in the game on March 2. One of the most unique aspects of Astra is her ability to soar above the map in order to get a better perspective, though you'll be leaving her actual, physical body at risk of being attacked while you do so. Using her Astral Form, she's able to place down stars that can then be turned into a Nebula, powerful Nova Pulse, or a Gravity Well that traps and damages those caught inside. A new battle pass is also on the way, giving you more cosmetic unlockables for Valorant's characters. It costs 1,000 VP, with the paid track giving you a Prism III Axe melee, Cavalier Vandal, Cavalier Operator, Make Some Noise spray, and Versus // Sova + Cypher card. A few … [Read more...] about Valorant Agent Astra Comes To Game Alongside Battle Pass On March 2
Live Events In Los Angeles Still Cautious: E3, Anime Expo Going Virtual, LA Marathon Moving To Fall
Conventions and live events are playing it safe when it comes to bookings in the Los Angeles area, according to a report from the Board of the Dept. of Convention and Tourism Development Commissioners. In one big move, the Electronic Entertainment Expo, known as E3 , has backed down from previous plans to stage a live show and will instead do a virtual event. E3 2020 was canceled because of the COVID-19 pandemic last June, and this marks the second year in a row without a physical event. Last year, many publishers and game developers staged their own virtual events, which may hurt future mass gatherings like E3 as vendors become more comfortable with the format. Similarly, the Anime Expo will go virtual over July 4th instead of its planned gathering. The Expo is still planning on signing a deal to stage shows in Los Angeles through 2030, the department reported. BET’s music and events festival, The Experience, will not hold its live event at Los Angeles … [Read more...] about Live Events In Los Angeles Still Cautious: E3, Anime Expo Going Virtual, LA Marathon Moving To Fall
