Audi was rumored to be working on another e-tron model, more affordable than the GT. But we really were caught off guard when the A6 e-tron concept came out. Not only is this a reminder of the imminent end of combustion-engined cars, but it's also stunning to look at. The A6 e-tron was revealed in China, and that part of the world marches to its own beat. But the production model should follow its lines closely, just like every other Audi concept in recent years. I mean, the GT model that just launched looks exactly like Tony Stark's car, and that's saying something. Audi may have stopped all advanced development of internal combustion engines. It's also been said that every current model might have an EV version. But the A6 series is more iconic for its RS6 Avant than any sedan. It's not the current RS6 that's famous. Audi also makes a popular RS4 model that spans several generations, right to its RS2 Avant ancestor. And so, YouTube designer and rendering guru TheSketchMonkey decided the e-tron needed to be a wagon, not a sedan. This is not a new idea. Every time an important sedan debuts, renderers turn it into…

Home News Mobile Phones (Image credit: TechRadar) While we wait for the sizeable iOS 14.5 update, details about the even bigger iOS 15 update expected toward the end of the year have leaked in a Bloomberg report, which suggested that Apple is working on iMessage upgrades that will make it more of a social network to compete with global messaging platforms like WhatsApp.iMessage is still superior to other messaging apps in some categories – most notably security given its end-to-end encryption and back-end improvements continually made through iOS 14, as Forbes explained. iMessage also works pretty well across Apple’s device ecosystem, with message synchronization and interactions possible on screens great and small. So what could Apple learn from rival messaging services?There are obvious answers, like bringing iMessage to Android – something Apple has resisted for the better part of a decade, new evidence has shown. Extending it to another mobile operating system could be seen as losing a unique feature to iPhones and iPads.But the less obvious changes could revolve around the ‘social media’ direction Bloomberg reported – a direction that many messaging services evolved into, like WhatsApp, Line, and others. Here are the big ways iMessage could likewise evolve from…

Sometimes predators will try to speak to a child only to be duped by undercover police officers or paedophile hunter groups. But other times they succeed in talking to children about their vile fantasies. There are certain apps which appear in these types of court cases time and time again. Paedophiles can use these platforms to groom and abuse children - or at least try to. In one case paedophile John Smith was already convicted of using Snapchat to target young boys - before going back and grooming another boy on the app, encouraging him to meet up. Below are some of the apps which are frequently used by predators trying to hunt out and target unsuspecting victims. Snapchat Snapchat is a popular social media app which lets users send images which then "self-destruct". One of the features of Snapchat is you're able to see where users are based on their…

Rachel "Valkyrae" Hofstetter didn't mince words whatsoever during a recent live stream on YouTube when one fan asked her to go to their prom in the near future. Despite perhaps being a request meant in jest, the new 100 Thieves co-owner quickly shot down the idea for a number of reasons, all of which she began to list off.The brief moment, which happened in one of Valkyrae's recent streams within the past few days, transpired when a person in chat said, "Will you go to prom with me? I love you by the way." Without any hesitation, Valkyrae shot down the notion with a simple, "No." After laughing to herself, Valkyrae then proceeded to provide a litany of reasons as to why she wouldn't do such a thing.“One, I don’t like school dances. Two, I think it’s very creepy to go out of state as a girl to a random school dance with a bunch of people I don’t know and I’m not comfortable with and also with someone I don’t know," Valkyrae said. The streamer went on to list five more reasons why she wouldn't do something like this -- two of which remained the simple notion that she…

Most mothers and fathers would know that being a stay-at-home parent is absolutely a full-time job.But for Alison Black, an eight-year "gap" between working and raising her three children has left her feeling a little unsettled.In two years' time, when her youngest goes to school, she'll be looking to get out into the workforce again.She says she's already starting to think about how she should "justify" having taken the time off.And she worries that any prospective employer's attitude might be that she's been sitting around "drinking lattes and having mum chitchat for 10 years"."Obviously there's so much more to it," she is quick to add. Alison says staying at home with her children was the right choice for her.(Supplied)So with the world's largest professional networking site, LinkedIn, deciding to recognise this unpaid labour as part of a person's profile history, mothers like Alison are fully on board.Currently there's no option on LinkedIn for parents and carers to explain those gaps in their work history.LinkedIn says in response to feedback, particularly from women and mothers, it's adding "stay-at-home mum", "stay-at-home dad" and "stay-at-home parent" to its job options in the "coming weeks"."In the near future, we'll also add a new field specifically for employment-gap types to the…

TORONTO -- Jonathan Frostick has spent a lot of time rethinking his outlook on work and just how misplaced some of his priorities were. Last Sunday afternoon, he was at his desk prepping for what would’ve been a busy workweek as a program director at an investment bank in the U.K. But suddenly, he couldn’t breathe. He was having a heart attack. As his chest tightened, his ears popped and pain surged through his left arm he was only thinking about work. “I needed to meet with my manager tomorrow, this isn’t convenient,” Frostick wrote in a post on the networking site LinkedIn, as he laid in a hospital bed. But after his near-death experience, he’s pledging some big changes. “I’m not spending all day on Zoom anymore. I’m really not going to be putting up with any s#%t at work ever again - life literally is too short.” These were just some of the vows the HSBC employee made and they’ve since led to a groundswell of support from people online. The epiphany, which Frostick detailed in post last week, has been liked more than 285,600 times as of Sunday and garnered nearly 15,000 comments from all over the…
