LA QUINTA, Calif. (AP) — The idea for Scottie Scheffler was to get a gauge on his game at The American Express, and all appeared to be in good working order Thursday. He made birdies on half of his holes for a 9-under 63 to join a parade of low scores that left him one shot out of the lead. Min Woo Lee and Pierceson Coody led the way at 10-under 62 on the Nicklaus Tournament course at PGA West, the easiest of the three on the rotation. Scheffler played at La Quinta, where he didn’t miss a green until the 17th hole. He chipped that in for birdie. “I think the hardest part about these tests where you have to shoot so low is you can only shoot so many under par in a round of golf,” Scheffler said. “The easier tests, where the scores are crazy low, if you start falling behind it’s a lot harder to keep up, so you have to keep pace out here.” Jason Day had the most impressive round of the day with his 63 on the Stadium Course at PGA West,  » Read More

For Google or Apple, there is an NFT or a Metaverse. Here's a walk through the tech graveyard. ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (WHAT THE TECH?) — Looking back over the last 10-20 years, it’s easy to find technology that was either ahead of its time or ahead of reality that is now just part of the tech graveyard. Remember NFTs? Non-fungible tokens raised billions of dollars. Some digital art sold for millions. Digital art galleries were supposed to be coming. A year later, the bubble burst. And now? It’s as quiet as a real art museum. Hand-in-hand with NFTs was the Metaverse, a digital land where people were supposed to live, work, socialize and even go to church! Facebook even renamed itself “Meta” and spent over $70 billion chasing the future. The headsets still work and people still play games – but a virtual world, where people actually wanted to live in, never materialized. Then, there was Clubhouse. During the pandemic, the audio-only app was everywhere.  » Read More

The social media platform is promoting its new Instagram for TV app for Amazon Fire TV with a spot that turns entire living rooms into moving parts of a reels feed, brought to life by Special US and directed by C Prinz. Instead of huddling around a phone to share your favourite reels, Fire TV customers can go on Instagram in a new experience built for TV. The app is available in the US on Amazon Fire TV devices, and as the social media app garners insights from this early testing phase, it will expand to more devices and countries. It marks the first time Instagram content has been designed for television. Instagram began testing the app’s TV capabilities in December. The idea was initiated from user feedback which held that watching reels together is more fun, and current testing is designed to learn which features make that experience work best on TV. The spot sees the scroll transformed into a shared, big-screen experience. By cycling through food, sports and art creators, the ad positions reels on TV less as linear programming and more as a social feed scaled up for communal viewing. “Our mission is to get you to

Ian Pocervina adapted for RTL Today After the Public Prosecutor's office opened an investigation into the operators of an Instagram profile that allegedly circulated violent content featuring minors, the authorities are warning that even the act of spreading such material is punishable. The prosecutor’s office and the police have launched an investigation after they were notified of an Instagram profile that was actively soliciting violent videos. The statement said the content focused on “violence by or against minors” and “fights between young people”. According to information from the prosecutor’s office and the police, the authorities received the alert concerning this profile on 20 January. At the request of the prosecutor’s office youth protection department, prosecutors opened an investigation to clarify the facts and identify any possible responsibilities. In the context of this investigation, the authorities state that disseminating violent images and videos can have serious human and legal consequences.

In cases involving minors, this is not compatible with human dignity or with the protection of young people. The prosecutor’s office points out that the Luxembourg penal code strictly prohibits “producing, transporting

US President Donald Trump has dropped his threat to impose tariffs on European countries that opposed his plans to gain control of Greenland and said he would not use force to seize the territory. In a social media post on Wednesday, Trump said the planned tariffs would be suspended after talks with Nato secretary-general Mark Rutte produced what he described as a “framework” for future co-operation on Greenland and the wider Arctic region.  Want to continue reading The Banker?
