I really have no clue what this is or why I need it…” wrote on user on Mosseri’s post. “How do you just make a post like this without having some high-level explanation of the fediverse?...

The AP notes that this marks the start of the most challenging phase of the plant’s decommissioning, which began after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami that triggered meltdowns at three reactors. The robot, nicknamed “Telesco,” is designed to extend up to 22 meters into the reactor vessel to reach the radioactive fuel, using tongs to collect a small fragment weighing less than 3 grams, notes the AP. The Diplomat reports that this small sample is crucial to assess the fuel’s condition and inform future removal strategies....

According to TechCrunch, the investigation has been active since 2024 but the company hasn’t been accused of any law violation yet. The U.S. Department of Labor is investigating Scale AI for potential violations of federal labor laws. Scale AI has faced past accusations of worker exploitation, including lawsuits over misclassification and wage issues.

Last Updated: Aug 4, 2025 It turns out that Seed4.Me was just another average VPN but with a few trump cards over most lower-level vendors. For one, I was genuinely impressed with the top-range security features made available to all users. This VPN can protect users from internet censorship and basic limitations. Nevertheless, the first hurdle I encountered was the fact that I couldn’t stream my favorite shows on some streaming platforms....

Last Updated: Jul 18, 2025 Throughout my tests, I was impressed with TotalAV’s performance. It has excellent malware detection scores, solid real-time security, reliable web protection, valuable features like a built-in VPN, and highly intuitive apps. Unfortunately, it lacks a firewall and parental controls. Plus, it has inconsistent customer support, so it’s not as good as Norton, the current best antivirus. Despite the few shortcomings, I consider TotalAV a reliable choice for comprehensive security, as it effectively defends against most cyber threats....

After extensively testing dozens of VPNs, ExpressVPN is my #1 VPN for LoL because of its high-speed server network....

The top service in 2025 is ExpressVPN, with impressive speeds and, premium security and privacy features, all conveniently accessible in your Chrome browser....

A VPN encrypts the data running between your computer and its server, by extending a private network across a public network. It cuts out the middleman by enabling the user to share data between public or shared networks as if their computer were directly connected to the private network. Not only does a VPN increase and improve security but it can also be used to “leap frog” barriers, improve functionality and provide better overall management of a private network....
