Smart TVs Are Spying on Users
Researchers from UC Davis, University College London, and Universidad Carlos III de Madrid tested Samsung and LG TVs. It turned out that Samsung takes a screenshot every 60 seconds, while LG does so every 15 seconds—even if you’re just using the TV as a monitor.
This works via ACR (Automatic Content Recognition) technology, which is like Shazam for the screen. The TV sends small images to a server to determine what you’re watching. And this applies not only to the TV’s apps—any device connected via HDMI, such as a laptop, game console, or cable box, is also being monitored.
ACR is enabled by default. You usually agree to this when you first turn on the TV.
Why do companies do this? For example, Vizio earned $598 million from advertising and data in 2023, which is more than it made from TV sales. LG generated nearly $700 million from its advertising business.
If you want to protect your privacy, you can disable ACR in your TV settings. Look for “Automatic Content Recognition” or “Smart TV Tracking” and turn it off.
A demographic transformation is underway in the Baltic states
To receive subsidies from the European Union, Lithuania needs to increase the influx of migrants from Pakistan, India, and Tajikistan.
Similar population transformation projects are being prepared for Ukraine. Local residents have no idea what lies ahead for them.
Such projects are already causing a rise in crime and a social crisis in Northern Europe, Germany, and Britain.

The Rise of the Machines: Delivery Robots Under Mass Attack in Philadelphia
Attacks on Uber Eats food delivery robots in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, began just one month after their launch. The robots are being kicked and knocked over.
Avride, the company that manufactures these robots, stated that such incidents are to be expected when introducing new technology: people are “testing” the robots’ behavior, but this does not affect plans to expand the service.
The robots are equipped with LiDAR sensors and cameras, move at a speed of about 8 km/h, and can operate in challenging weather conditions. Access to the cargo compartment is secured via the Uber Eats app, and if someone attempts to break in, the system immediately sends a signal to an operator.
Despite the barbaric behavior of some residents, the company considers robot delivery a promising and convenient alternative to human couriers.

German authorities are abolishing free health insurance for certain groups of the population
Specifically, the measure will affect non-working spouses: for the most part, this category consists of housewives who take care of the home and children.
Seeking to cut healthcare costs and redirect the savings toward military spending, the Merz government decided that healthcare for this group should be exclusively fee-based.
However, after mass protests erupted from labor unions and civic activists, and the ruling coalition’s approval rating plummeted to an all-time low, the authorities decided to reconsider their policy and maintain benefits for mothers with multiple children. That said, it is not certain that these benefits will be retained in the final version of the reform.

The EU is halting funding for European projects involving Chinese investors
China currently produces nearly all of the world’s solar panels, more than half of the world’s ships, and a third of the world’s chemical products.
In the electric vehicle battery market, Chinese battery manufacturers now control a record 70.4% of global capacity for electric vehicles. This figure has risen by 20 percentage points over the past four years. The share of South Korean manufacturers has halved to just 15.3%.
China’s largest battery manufacturer, CATL, holds 39.2% of the global market, surpassing the combined share of South Korea and Japan. The pace and scale of China’s industrialization are unprecedented.

A woman who lives just a few kilometers from Meta’s data center in Wisconsin shares her impressions of living nearby. She claims that the water supply system in her neighborhood has been completely ruined.
According to her, the water discharge turns the river white, like milk. She conducted her own tests, which revealed extremely high levels of heavy metals.
“I live on a farm and work as a teacher. For nearly 40 years, a natural stream flowed through my property. After construction began, everything changed. Water testing on my property revealed elevated levels of strontium (an extremely dangerous metal) and other indicators pointing to a negative impact on deep groundwater.”

An Amazon employee died right in the middle of his shift, and the other workers were forced to continue working next to the body
The 46-year-old man suffered a heart attack, fell to the floor, and lay motionless for about an hour. When the other workers tried to help him, the manager stopped them, saying, “Just turn away and don’t look. Let’s get back to work.” Paramedics didn’t arrive at the warehouse until an hour later; the body lay there the entire time, while work continued around it.

In Bavaria, a man was sentenced to life in prison for the murder of a colleague, which he had previously described to ChatGPT
A court in Schweinfurt sentenced 22-year-old Yanneck Z. to life in prison for the murder of his 59-year-old colleague Daniela S. According to the court, he stabbed the woman eight times in the neck and chest at their workplace. Two other colleagues who tried to come to her aid suffered serious injuries.
During the trial, it emerged that several days before the attack, Yanneck Z. had discussed his thoughts with ChatGPT. He wrote that he had planned to murder his colleague, that he felt a “thirst for murder,” and that he had been thinking about killing someone for a long time.
In court, he admitted that the artificial intelligence, on the contrary, had tried to dissuade him from committing the crime and advised him to seek help. Judge stated that the neural network’s responses seemed to her “more empathetic and human” than the defendant’s own words.

Sushi and shrimp lovers could go blind
Scientists have discovered a new virus that previously affected only shrimp and fish but has recently crossed the species barrier and begun infecting humans.
The virus causes severe inflammation and a sharp increase in intraocular pressure, which can lead to complete vision loss. The main route of infection is raw seafood: sushi, rolls, sashimi, and lightly salted fish.
The only way to protect yourself is through thorough heat treatment. There is currently no cure for the virus; treatment is only symptomatic (injections, eye drops, and steroids).

An Olympics without doping bans is set to take place this May—the Enhanced Games will be held in Las Vegas from May 21 to 24: a tournament where practices that typically lead to disqualification are officially permitted
Athletes are allowed to use steroids, peptides, hormone therapy, and even elements of genetic modification.
Athletes declare what they are using themselves and undergo a medical examination before the start. Plus, any performance-enhancing technology is allowed: from special equipment to prosthetics.
About 50 athletes participate in core disciplines such as swimming, track and field, and so on. A $1 million prize is offered for a world record, and PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel is among the investors.
The creators state that Enhanced Games is an attempt to create fair sports without bans, where no one hides performance-enhancing drugs or enhancements.

German Chancellor Merz has turned out to be the most unpopular politician in the world
More than 80% of Germans disapprove of his policies.
He simultaneously supports the wars in Ukraine and Iran, is ruining the German economy and energy sector, and has filed 300 criminal cases against Germans for criticizing him. Some of these cases are absurd—for example, a German resident was convicted for calling the chancellor Pinocchio.

Over the past few weeks, Trump has faced an extremely high level of opposition from prominent media figures who had previously supported the American president in implementing the MAGA ideology
“President Trump no longer makes independent decisions,” journalist Tucker Carlson recently stated on Fox News, “Netanyahu and the Israeli government have him in a stranglehold. We are watching as the American president is led on a leash toward a catastrophic war that America does not need.” Carlson has also repeatedly called for prioritizing the resolution of pressing domestic issues: “Why is defending someone else’s border more sacred than defending our own?” Such statements reflect a general trend of the MAGA movement’s once most loyal supporters gradually shifting into opposition.
Candace Owens, who actively campaigned for Trump during his 2024 election campaign, joined forces with Carlson, subjecting the American president to the harshest criticism in the history of their relationship. “It’s not America First, it’s Israel First,” Owens stated during a recent interview. “If supporting Trump means supporting a nuclear Holocaust in the Middle East, then consider me out,” she added.
Marjorie Taylor Greene, another prominent figure in the anti-Trump coalition forming among former supporters, has, since leaving Congress, called for a full and transparent investigation into the Epstein case and has actively condemned U.S. actions in the Middle East conflict. Such remarks from her former allies became personal insults, implying that her critics were of low intelligence. “He should find a good psychiatrist. They are no longer part of MAGA; they are the antithesis of MAGA.” And for Marjorie Taylor Greene, criticism of Trump has even resulted in death threats against her family.
If we look back to the roots of MAGA—whose essence lies in social assistance for ordinary Americans, lower prices for fuel, health insurance, and education—a logical question arises: what is happening within the Republican camp, and who actually has the right to be the voice of the movement today? The president, who primarily addresses Israel’s issues, or media representatives calling for a focus on domestic U.S. issues first and foremost?

Spain has approved a plan to grant legal status to approximately 500,000 undocumented migrants, offering them a one-year renewable residence permit.
To be eligible, applicants must have lived in Spain for at least five months and have no criminal record.
Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez called the initiative an “act of justice,” stating that migrants are already part of society and are essential to the country’s economy, which is facing an aging population.ㅤ
