Fans are also offered real-life encounters with the chimp at a Miami facility, paying US$700 for a ten-minute session. Experts, including renowned primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall, have raised concerns about Limbani’s care. They question why he is not in the company of other chimpanzees, and say his exposure to humans could cause stress and other health issues. So before you click on or share wildlife content online, it’s worth considering how you might affect a species’ welfare and conservation in the wild....

Even with the best intentions, sometimes life gets in the way of making regular in-person support group meetings. Especially now, as we all shelter in place due to the coronavirus, it might be difficult to keep hold of the support network you need to help maintain your recovery. Luckily, some organizations have plans in place to help keep meetings going, even when participants can’t make it. There are also a number of resources available for anyone to create an online support group for themselves....

Here’s the bad news: In the short time you’ve been there, you can already tell this company (let’s call it BigCo) is not nearly ready for all the great ideas you have in mind. You’re not the CEO or even the Chief Digital Officer at BigCo. So how are you going to drive change without losing your job? Here are five strategies I’ve used to walk the fine line of effective disruption....

And while many pundits and HR experts are rushing to explain its origins, there remains the simple fact that work has changed. Rules around office mandates, and even offices themselves, are being adapted to a new breed of workers who want flexibility, control, and safety. Employers who provide greater flexibility could gain a major advantage in the talent war. According to Otto Verhage, COO of recruitment tool TestGorilla: “A greater number of applicants will be looking for hybrid working in the wake of Covid-19: it’s been proven that the economy won’t fall apart if people work from home part-time, and some employees who had never previously worked flexibly have seen how beneficial it can be....

On Instagram, you can opt to either hide likes for your individual posts or for all posts — both yours and those of the people you follow. To hide likes on an individual post, you can simply tap on the three-dot menu button next to an image and select the new ‘hide like count’ option from the menu. Easy peasy. If you want to pre-emptively hide likes before a specific post, you can find the option under the ‘advanced settings’ button that shows up on the final page before you share a post....

Back in 2019, Twitter introduced a feature called Topics to bring you tweets related to your areas of interest, without having to follow more people. On paper, it’s a great idea to keep your core timeline the same while getting updates about topics you might be interested in. But it’s a bit tricky managing your feed so you’re not overwhelmed by all those suggested tweets. Don’t worry, I’ve got you....

Skygazers wishing to view the Geminid meteor shower should head outside an hour or so after sunset. Shooting stars will be seen in the days leading up to the main event, but the display will peak on the nights of Sunday, December 13, and Monday, December 14. Most of the annual meteor showers are caused when the Earth, revolving around the Sun, moves into a path of debris left behind by a comet in its journey around our parent star....

I’m terrible at managing tabs. There’s always an endless line of news I have yet to read, Twitter threads to check out, and YouTube videos to finish. I also have a pretty bad habit of playing podcasts in the browser as I switch between videos. It’s a mess. But Chrome has a feature that makes it easier to avoid that. [Read: Here’s how you mute individual tabs on Chrome] I’m talking about the media controls button....

While all gadget aficionados are getting their analyst hats on, let’s cover the basics of the event. It’s going to be live-streamed on Apple.com and the company’s YouTube channel at: 10:00 AM PST 1:00 PM EST 6:00 PM GMT 7:00 PM CET 11.30 PM IST If you want to save all the headaches of actually visiting these websites, just bookmark this post, and hit the play button on the YouTube video below: As to what to expect from the event?...

On July 14 at 10AM CEST, the German automaker will take the covers off the EV and it’ll be the first time the public or press has seen it for real, CarScoops reports. While vehicle unveilings are typically reserved for the press, it seems BMW is letting anyone watch the livestreamed event. All you have to do is go to this link: CLICK HERE on July 14, at 10AM Munich time, and you can watch along with the rest of the world....

At the time we didn’t have a firm release date, but now it seems the tablet will arrive as soon as this month: Huawei CEO Richard Yu made a Weibo post teasing a MatePad even for November 25. At a glance, it’d be easy to mistake the tablet for an iPad Pro. Granted, there are only so many ways to design a tablet, but it has relatively slim bezels, a very Apple-Pencil-looking stylus, and a grey keyboard....

Unfortunately, it’s currently only available on the desktop. No mobile apps, no TV apps. Worse, it’s only available to users who are signed up for Hulu’s ‘No ads’ tier. Considering I don’t know anyone who actually pays for said tier — last May, Hulu said 70 percent of customers were on the ad-supported tier — it might be difficult to coordinate friends and family to actually join a Watch Party....

Half-Life: Alyx looks fantastic, from the detailed environments to the familiar pesky headcrabs. This VR title will feature plenty of interactive puzzle and combat elements, so you’ll be totally immersed in the experience as you step into young Alyx Vance’s shoes to help your father take on the alien Combine Empire that’s ravaging City 17. Too bad I probably won’t play it myself. You see, Alyx costs $60 (discounted to $54 right now), requires you to have a compatible VR headset, and you’ll likely want a powerful PC to render high-fidelity graphics....

Background: Call for Code for Racial Justice launched late last year to solicit solutions from the global coding community. The goal of the challenge is to come up with novel open source solutions backed by IBM and partner technologies such as cloud computing and artificial intelligence. There are currently seven “solution starters” which are now hosted by the Linux Foundation. According to IBM Call for Code director Ruth Davis: The seven initiatives, per a Linux foundation blog post, include:...

The worst thing about the imposter syndrome is that it manages to convince you it’s real even when you know it’s not. Here’s how the imposter syndrome affected me in my first month as a developer. I want to share this with juniors in the same situation, as well as seniors who have to work with them. But it’s also for people of every level because the imposter syndrome affects everyone....

This was an important step after a number of incidents that targeted folks who were infected or under insolation after their details became public. These people faced heavily discriminatory behavior from society, receiving threats and racist comments from unknown people. Some of these incidents have even led to suicide. The advisory asked people to “never spread names or identity of those affected or under quarantine or their locality on social media....

Vishal Shah, VP of Instagram made this announcement at the Facebook Fuel for India virtual event. Earlier in May, Facebook killed the earlier version of the Instagram lite app and said that a new iteration is in the works. In September, a new version of Instagram lite came to the fore. However, this is the first time the company’s officially announced the product. The new app has more prominent features such as Feeds and Stories, but omits other stuff like Reels, and IGTV....

I’d be willing to bet that you’re not imagining someone in a suit. That’s fair; when it comes to innovation, big companies have a pretty bad rap. They are more often seen as big, clunky, behind the times — steady, sure, but not where you think to look for rapid-fire development of game-changing technologies. But that doesn’t have to be the case. What do large enterprises need to foster innovation?...

It’s only been in the wild for a few weeks, but if we know one thing about tech users, adoption of a new Apple operating system always moves fast. In fact, Apple confirms the latest iOS update, iOS 13, was already running on more than half of all iPhones just 26 days after its launch. Headlined by big, flashy cosmetic changes like the new “dark mode,” iOS 13 has definitely made a splash with iPhone users....

The screenshot below shows the locations used by the Tesla app and the App Store. The company said that these pop-ups will appear from time to time if the app tracks you for a long time. You’ll have an option to change the permission to “Only while using” or keep allowing the location access to the app. In addition, iOS 13 also lets you limit location tracking for a specific app to just once....
