Steps to avoid Google account deletion due to inactivity

Previously, Google announced that it would delete accounts that haven’t been signed into for two years, starting from December 1, 2023. The move to delete these accounts comes from security concerns. An account that has been inactive for a long time is more susceptible to being breached by hackers, according to Google. This could expose personal information, increase the risk of identity theft, and make users vulnerable to being targeted in scams. If someone has a Google account that they want to keep but it's at risk of being deleted due to inactivity , they can follow certain steps to safeguard the account and its data. The simplest way for them to keep their Google account is by logging into it or any associated Google services like YouTube or Gmail immediately.

Erik ten Hag responds to Alejandro Garnacho comparisons with Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo

Image
Erik ten Hag has rubbished comparisons made between Alejandro Garnacho and Manchester United legends Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo. Garnacho scored a truly stunning overhead kick to give Man Utd an early lead in their eventual 3-0 win over Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday evening. The goal has notably drawn comparisons to overhead kicks scored by Wayne Rooney - for the Red Devils against Manchester City - and Cristiano Ronaldo for Real Madrid against Juventus in the UEFA Champions League - two goals widely considered to be some of the best we've seen in recent times. However, speaking to the press after the win, manager Ten Hag was keen to rubbish comparisons between Garnacho and the legendary forwards, insisting that the youngster needs to do more if he wants to be "a player like Rooney or Ronaldo": "Don't compare, I don't think it's right. They all have their own identity. For Garnacho to go that way, he has a lot to come, he has to work very ha

Trent Alexander - Arnold: “Liverpool puede pelear por el título de Premier League”

Trent Alexander-Arnold cree que el Liverpool puede com Pet ir con el Manchester City por el título de la Premier League esta temporada. El vicecapitán del Liverpool habló antes del intrigante partido del sábado ante los Citizens en el Etihad Stadium. “La temporada pasada no fue lo suficientemente buena. Trajimos nuevos jugadores, se trataba de adaptarnos lo más rápido posible y asegurarnos de sentar una buena base al inicio de la temporada”, dijo el internacional inglés. “Estamos en una posición realmente sólida, en cuanto a resultados y forma, estamos haciendo lo suficiente para mantenernos lo más cerca posible de la cima de la tabla. “Hasta ahora nos hemos desempeñado de una manera que es como se esperaría que lo hiciera alguien que es candidato a ganar la liga y si continuamos con esto, deberíamos estar dentro de los candidatos cuando llegue mayo. “Si no fuera así, estaría aquí diciendo ‘quiero volver a estar entre los cuatro primeros’, porque, sinceramente, no hay nada malo en

Judge finds evidence that Musk knew about Autopilot defect

A Florida judge found "reasonable evidence" that Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk and other managers knew the automaker's vehicles had a defective Autopilot system but still allowed the cars to be driven unsafely, according to a ruling. Judge Reid Scott, in the Circuit Court for Palm Beach County, ruled last week that the plaintiff in a lawsuit over a fatal crash could proceed to trial and bring punitive damages claims against Tesla for intentional misconduct and gross negligence. The order has not been previously reported. The ruling is a setback for Tesla after the company won two product liability trials in California earlier this year over the Autopilot driver assistant system. A Tesla spokesperson could not immediately be reached for comment on Tuesday. The Florida lawsuit arose out of a 2019 crash north of Miami in which owner Stephen Banner's Model 3 drove under the trailer of an 18-wheeler big rig truck that had turned onto the road, shearing off the Tesla&

How Mauricio Pochettino should use Christopher Nkunku after injury return

Image
With each passing day, Chelsea fans move one step closer to seeing Christopher Nkunku's official debut for the club. The Frenchman, who has been out since pre-season after undergoing knee surgery, is set to make his return in the weeks that follow the November international break and will hopefully be ready to start before the end of the calendar year, which should get fans incredibly excited. The dilemma for manager Mauricio Pochettino, however, is figuring out the best way to use Nkunku. What is Christopher Nkunku's best position? Nkunku rose to prominence with Leipzig / Matthias Hangst/GettyImages Chelsea classify Nkunku as a striker on their website but things aren't that simple. While he may have regularly featured at the top of RB Leipzig's team sheet, Nkunku rarely played as the out-and-out striker. Often used in a little-and-large partnership with Yussuf Poulsen, Nkunku's job would be to fizz around and find space in which to work his magic. It was almost l

Lionel Messi talks Argentina, defeat to Uruguay and Brazil at the Maracanã

After Argentina’s 2-0 World Cup qualifying defeat to Uruguay on Thursday, Lionel Messi spoke about La Albiceleste’s loss to Marcelo Bielsa’s side at La Bombonera. “It was a difficult Game , we knew it was going to be like that,” Messi told Olé post-match in Buenos Aires. “We couldn’t find our rhythm, we couldn’t keep possession for long, we couldn’t move them from one side to the other, which is what we always aim to do.” Messi on Uruguay “Uruguay are a physical team, who work well on the counter-attack, and they generated danger. They are a very good team, they have good players, they press well, are strong and they hurt us. The truth is that it was difficult for us. It’s a shame because we didn’t expect it to be this way, at home, but I’m telling you, we played against a great team; we were never comfortable.
