    I had to do a lot of setting changes to chase some malware out of my computer. Now everything works okay but I can't play the videos in Rumble. Youtube and netflix and hulu and all other videos play fine. Rumble has little icons instead of the pics listed on the videos and when I click on them they open the video window with a play button on the corner but don't play anything.

    A company that is a critical part of the global telecommunications infrastructure used by AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon and several others around the world such as Vodafone and China Mobile, quietly disclosed that hackers were inside its systems for years, impacting more than 200 of its clients and potentially millions of cellphone users worldwide. The company, Syniverse, revealed in a filing dated September 27 with the U.S. Security and Exchange Commission that an unknown "individual or organization gained unauthorized access to databases within its network on several occasions, and that login information allowing access to or from its Electronic Data Transfer...

    It seems like rock star Ted Nugent thinks vaccine mandates have a "stranglehold" on the public. Nugent , who said he was sharing "truth, logic, and common sense with people who care," responded to a question Friday about vaccine policies, referring to COVID-19 as a "weaponized virus." He contracted the coronavirus earlier in 2021. "I did what the government told me not to do, which is what I always do," he said. "Because what the government tells you to do is always the wrong thing. I took hydroxychloroquine , ivermectin, steroids, and zinc and continued with my healthy lifestyle, being...

    As one of the most popular sports brands in the world and in Israel, the loss of those sales will weigh heavily on the businesses of hundreds of sports stores across the country. Israeli retailers are fuming after international sporting goods giant Nike on Sunday said it will stop working with them to market its products. The measure will come into effect on May 31, 2022, Nike said. As one of the most popular sports brands in the world and in Israel, the loss of those sales would weigh heavily on the businesses of hundreds of local sports stores. In...

    Windows 11 is now officially available to download. While Microsoft is launching Windows 11-powered hardware worldwide on October 5th, the company has made the OS update available early for eligible devices in New Zealand and beyond. If you’ve purchased a Windows 10 machine recently, that means you should be able to upgrade to Windows 11 right now. For everyone else, the rollout of Windows 11 will be gradual. Microsoft says existing Windows 10 devices that are eligible for the Windows 11 upgrade will start to be able to upgrade today, but it will be mostly new hardware that will receive...

    Warning: This story contains disturbing detailsThe 23-year-old man accused of causing the death of a two-year-old by putting a Ping-Pong ball in the child's mouth has been remanded to a psychiatric hospital for a 30-day assessment. Madison Bennett, also known as Karrson Bennett, appeared in provincial court on Monday afternoon via a video link from jail. His lawyer, David Lutz, requested a fitness hearing as well as a 30-day psychiatric assessment. Judge Andrew LeMesurier said the usual practice is to have a five-day in-jail assessment of fitness and then proceed to the 30-day assessment at the Restigouche Hospital Centre, but...

    A hiker on the Appalachian Trail told a 911 dispatcher that he was “99.99 percent sure” that he spoke with Florida fugitive Brian Laundrie, a newly released recording reveals. “I’ll meet somebody out there if they want to,” Dennis Davis, 53, told the Haywood County, North Carolina, Sheriff’s Office dispatcher. “I’m telling you, it was him.” He told the dispatcher the stranger was “talking wild” and “acting funny,” the recording shows. Davis, an engineer from Florida, told The Post this week that he was driving on Waterville Road Saturday morning when he was flagged down by a man who was...

    Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham took on Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) in her new book, writing that the veteran lawmaker “was using Trump to mop up the freebies like there was no tomorrow.” Grisham in her new book “I’ll Take Your Questions Now,” set to be released on Tuesday, writes that Graham would use the president to receive free rounds of gold, food and access to celebrities. “It struck me that he was using Trump to mop up the freebies like there was no tomorrow (seems that he still is). He would show up at Mar-a-Lago or Bedminster...

    Last week I went tent camping with my son at a GA state park. When we checked in, I had to sign an acknowledgement that I understood bears would be in the area. Yawn. I didn't give it further thought.The second day, at 0500, the food cooler outside my tent was knocked over. I thought, oh man, this is it. The cooler was about 8 feet from the entrance to the tent. It took me a while to get on my glasses, jeans, find the flashlight and get personal protection.I got everything together and unzipped the flap. I shined the...

    SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Black women in California are more likely to die within a year of pregnancy than women of other races, prompting a wave of policy changes this year in the nation’s most populous state that culminated on Monday with Gov. Gavin Newsom signing a new law aimed at reducing the disparity. The law, among other things, creates a new committee within the Department of Public Health to review maternal deaths throughout the state by interviewing family members and doctors while exploring records and other reports. California now will give lower-income women health insurance for up to one...

    Former President Donald Trump will have to sit for a deposition sometime before Christmas as part of a defamation lawsuit filed by Summer Zervos, a former contestant on "Apprentice," a judge’s law clerk said Monday. Zervos has alleged that Trump sexually assaulted her at the Beverly Hills Hotel in 2007 and defamed her during his campaign when he said she lied about it. Earlier, in a 2016 statement, Trump had said that he had "never met her at a hotel or greeted her inappropriately a decade ago." The two parties are still haggling over disclosure of certain documents but Zervos’...

    October is all about pitching. Well, when it’s not about a ground ball going through a first baseman’s legs, a 12-year-old reaching over the outfield wall, an obstruction call at third base or a swarm of midges descending upon the field. But mostly it’s about pitching. So how do this year’s postseason teams rank in terms of their pitching staffs? Glad you asked. Let’s rank them. *ERA+ stats current through Saturday 1) Dodgers Major League ranks: first in ERA (3.01), ERA+ (136) and WHIP (1.10), third in K/BB (3.29) Bottom line: This is not exactly the starting staff we envisioned...

    When harvests failed in the Soviet Union in the early 1930s, ethnic Ukrainians experienced significantly higher mortality than the majority Russian population. Andrei Markevich, Natalya Naumenko, and Nancy Qian discover in The Political-Economic Causes of the Soviet Great Famine, 1932–33 (NBER Working Paper 29089) that this was due in large part to intentionally biased economic policies of the central government. Drawing from archival sources, including the Soviet census, planning documents, and declassified secret police records, the researchers construct a dataset of demographic, economic, political, historical, geographical, and climatic factors for the years 1922–40. Their sample includes data from 19 provinces...

    Our historical forgotten American articles are generally impressive figures, but there are very few one might accurately call “cool.” This is an exception in two ways. Václav Havel, the founder of the modern-day Czech Republic (also known as Czechia) is undoubtedly cool by any definition of the word. A political dissident under the Soviet-backed regime, he served hard time in Communist prisons rather than bend the knee to their authority. His moral courage acted as a beacon of hope for the entire resistance movement behind the Iron Curtain. As you've gathered by now, the second exception is that Havel is...
