NHS England has extended the offer of a vaccine to all adults. The government has also developed a toolkit with content designed to be shared via WhatsApp and Facebook community groups, as well as Twitter and YouTube.

Do you remember that pesky contact that always sends you annoying texts on Whatsapp even after you’ve blocked them? Yes, the one using the “GB” version of Whatsapp? Well, let’s just say your worries are about to be over as Whatsapp has threatened to permanently ban users who have an account with the clone app. Image: Zikoko Memes GB WhatsApp is an altered version of WhatsApp created by a third party.

A team of Danish researchers have developed a new algorithm that can significantly reduce the world’s resource consumption of computer servers. From an environment consideration, computer servers are as taxing on the climate as air traffic, thus making green transition to be an urgent matter. The research team at the University of Copenhagen strongly believe in the efficacy of the algorithm, and expect IT companies to deploy it immediately.

The CO2 emissions from data centers are currently high as that of combined with air traffic, with emissions anticipated to double in merely a couple of years.

The algorithm was enthusiastically implemented by tech giants Google and Vimeo in their systems, with Vimeo reporting that the algorithm helped with reducing algorithm bandwidth by a multiple of eight.
