China's TikTok is considering separating from parent ByteDance to help address US concerns about national security risks, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter. A divestiture, which could result in a sale or initial public offering, is considered a last resort and will be pursued only if the company's existing proposal with US national security officials does not get approved, Bloomberg reported. TikTok and ByteDance did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment. The short-form video app is undergoing a national security review by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) and it agreed last year to implement a number of measures under the plan, nicknamed "Project Texas", in an attempt to placate hostile lawmakers. CFIUS has stalled in its process, leaving TikTok unsure of whether its plans will be sufficient to continue operating in the country, according to the report. Members ...

Not long after California startups started pulling money out of troubled Silicon Valley Bank, entrepreneurs in other parts of the world woke up to the news. "Around 90% of our cash was in SVB," said Sam Franklin, 28, a London-based chief executive whose recruitment firm Otta specializes in tech talent. He ditched weekend "life admin" to figure out how to pay his employees at the end of the month. In Hong Kong, Florian Simmendinger, co-founder and CEO of Hong Kong wearable company Soundbrenner, missed the start of the panic in California over SVB Financial Group last week, but he caught on quickly. "I'm like, what? Are you kidding me? Like, my bank?" he said. "We already couldn't log into our account anymore during the regular Business hours." While the global effects of Silicon Valley Bank's collapse are just emerging, one thing is clear: tech startups, no matter how far apart, are intertwined. Many depend on a single mid-...

We don't spend long with the full Miller family in The Last of Us, but the brief look we do get into their life is perhaps one of the most pivotal moments of the story. Sarah's death defines Joel as a character, clearly influencing his decision-making throughout the first season. So to make this convincing, the Millers had to be a believable family - and the cast clearly knew this. In preparation for filming, Pedro Pascal, Gabriel Luna, and Nico Palmer went on a mini family vacation. The official account for The Last of Us has just shared this with us, and they definitely pass for the Millers before the world went to hell, helping the actors get used to their roles before production kicked off.

It’s an all-pervasive pollutant devastating ecosystems, killing wildlife and which has even been found in human breast milk. Now ominous new studies have found modern society’s addiction to plastic could also be fuelling a terrifying new fibrotic disease linked to cancer, called “plasticosis”. Researchers made the links in a new report analysing NSW marine birds which had died with macro plastics (larger fragments) and microplastics inside them. For more Health & Wellbeing related news and videos check out Health & Wellbeing >> It found the birds had developed fibrosis – the thickening and scarring of tissue – infiltrating the inner lining of their organs and destroying their glands. Fibrotic diseases are not uncommon in the human body - asbestosis and silicosis are both fibrosis of the lungs from breathing in asbestos and silica - and the report’s findings suggest this new inflammatory disease discovered in sea birds could have similarly devastating ramifications on a h...

The PS5 received an update this week. Leading the way in terms of what it adds is Discord voice chat capability. However, it has also altered the console's dashboard. Included in the tweaked UI is how many hours you've spent playing each Game . However, PlayStation still hasn't fixed whatever is causing those in- Game clocks not to work properly. If you hadn't noticed the new feature, you can check out what it looks like below, and where you look for your own playtime, courtesy of ThisIsXel who has spent an impressive amount of time playing Street Fighter 5. However, as pointed out by TrueTrophies, there's a very real chance that clock isn't accurate. RELATED: There Aren't Enough Reasons To Buy A PlayStation VR2 Right Now It's a problem that has existed since the PS5 launched which makes it even more surprising that it hasn't been fixed yet, more than two years later. TrueTrophies provides evidence that PlayStation's clo...

It's pretty safe to assume that Forspoken is considered a flop over at Square Enix. Not only did it receive middling reviews upon launch, but it also gave itself a mountain to climb after several clips were ruthlessly mocked on social media over the quality of the Game 's writing. Square Enix also wasted no time merging developer Luminous Productions into the wider company, giving off the impression that Forspoken was a failure all round. If you thought that this was the lowest that Forspoken could sink, you thought wrong. It's safe to assume that demand for Forspoken wasn't very high when the Game released, but it's now been made evident by a clip on social media of someone discovering several Forspoken steelbooks in a landfill. The video in question was shared by Twitter user NikoMueller, although they admit they're not the original uploader.

The Sacramento Kings, who haven't been to the playoff s since 2006, the NBA 's longest current drought, defeated the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday for their eighth win in their last 11 Game s, and are now just one Game back of the No. 2 Memphis Grizzlies.  Meanwhile, the Pelicans loss created a five-way tie at the bottom of the Western Conference play-in race, beginning with No. 9 Utah Jazz and ending with No. 13 Oklahoma City Thunder.  Below is a comprehensive snapshot of where things stand in the Western Conference playoff and play-in races entering play on Tuesday. This post will update daily throughout the remainder of the regular season, or until all seeds are clinched.  Reminder on how the play-in tournament works: No. 7 plays No. 8 and No. 9 plays No. 10. The winner of the 7-8 game gets the No. 7 seed, while the loser plays the winner of the 9-10 game for the  No. 8 seed.  ...

The Lands Between is a dangerous place where everything wants to kill you. Going for a leisurely stroll can result in a horrific death even if you stick to the relatively safe parts of the map. Even when there isn't some grotesque creature trying to smash you to bits and feed you to its children, there's Varre, who is equally brutal in pointing out that you're maidenless. Even the one bit of affection you get from Fia acts as a debuff. Just when you think there's nowhere to turn after getting sliced to bits by Malenia for the fifteenth time, it turns out that there's actually a friendly dog in Elden Ring. Usually, these dogs – Rotten Strays, as they're called – roam in packs and jump out of nowhere to ruin your day. But it seems that there's one who is a legitimate good boy. As pointed out by dFOXb, there's one dog in the north-eastern part of Leyndell that doesn't attack you unless you attack first. In fact, you can even use gesture...

While Resident Evil 4 may be pretty fantastic, I think most fans will agree that having to escort Ashley around was one of the worst parts of the game. Not only does she get kidnapped a bunch and need help climbing down ladders, but she also doesn't do much to ensure her own survival when not given direct orders, often standing amongst a horde of enemies just waiting for them to grab her. The developers behind Resident Evil 4 Remake know these particular sections of the Game aren't well-liked by fans, and are doing their best to ensure Ashley can pull her own weight. In an interview in the latest issue of PlayMagazine (thanks Game sRadar), producer Yokiashi Hirobayashi has explained that Capcom has tried to make escorting Ashley "more appealing" this time around, and that she'll be a much more "convincing standalone character".

  A small tooth is almost all that remains of a 2,000-year-old baby discovered in an ancient burial site beneath a Rabat school. The series of catacombs , discovered during works to extend the playing fields of the St Paul’s Missionary College, also revealed the remains of “at least eight” ancient island dwellers, decorative pottery – and new clues to unlocking the secrets of Malta’s past. The Superintendence of Cultural Heritage has been excavating the tombs for the past few weeks, and an archaeologist and osteologist have even found intact skeletons of adults and children from the Roman period, along with a large amount of intact pottery vessels and other delicate objects that were placed with the dead at the time of their burial. “The area around Rabat is rich with remains. These tombs are the latest discovery we have made, with some interesting contents,” Anthony Pace, the Superintendent of Cultural Heritage, told The Sunday Times of Malta. “Oh yes, this i...

Archaeologists have discovered mummified skeletons inside two sarcophagi of the 2nd century AD in the necropolis of Nikaia (Iznik) in ancient Bithynia, in the present north western province of Bursa in Turkey. The excavation is being carried out by the Turkish Ministry of Culture and Tourism under the supervision of Aygün Ekin Meriç, an academic in the Department of Archaeology at Dokuz Eylül University in the western province of Izmir. Meriç stated that the necropolis was used extensively during the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD and that they have found a total of six sarcophagi in the area to date, with the addition of two recent finds. “The last two recovered sarcophagi are very impressive”, Meriç said. “They were made during the Roman Imperial period, in the 2nd century AD. The two were found side by side. They are elaborate sarcophagi decorated with reliefs of the god Eros on three sides of the coffin. In one of these sarcophagi we found plastic water bottle ca...

Scott C. Waring, a well-known virtual archaeologist, and ufo-blogger from Taiwan, saw two UFOs simultaneously. These unexplained objects, now often referred to as “Unidentified Aerial Phenomena” (UAP), were scurrying through the Earth’s atmosphere. Looking at the images that went into making the Google Earth resource, I saw them off the coast of Antarctica. and so on recognized the things. In other words, I discovered that they are strikingly similar to Tic-Tac UAPs, as they were affectionately referred to by American pilots who frequently pursued like things. Due to its likeness to the well-known confectionery, Tic-Tac received the unique moniker. One of the “candies” was discovered on Google Earth maps in the summer of 2022. Off the coast of California, in front of San Clemente Island, the southernmost of the Channel Islands, the enigmatic object was seen. Two Tic-Tac-type UAPs were simultaneously sitting on the water in a barren region of Antarctica, far from any tr...
