Image
The newer nubia Red Magic 5G and Red Magic 5G lite might be doing all the rounds on the internet these days, but ZTE's sub-brand hasn't forgotten about its older devices either. Case in point: the nubia Red Magic 3 from last year is now (finally) receiving an update to Android 10. Not only that, but the new OS iteration comes with a brand new version of the OEM's skin. It's Redmagic 3.0, a logical bump up from Redmagic 2.0 based on Android 9 Pie. The update is currently rolling out in China, and we hope it will make it to internationally sold units soon.

Chinese fighter jets buzz Taiwan again, stoking tensions

Image
Chinese air force aircraft approached Taiwan on Thursday for the fifth time in 10 days, before being warned away by Taiwanese fighters, the island's air force said, in a further ratcheting up of tensions across the sensitive Taiwan Strait. The Chinese J-10 and J-11 fighter aircraft flew into the southwestern part of Taiwan's air defence identification zone in the morning, Taiwan's air force said in a statement. Taiwanese fighters, which regularly patrol the air space around the Chinese-claimed island, warned the Chinese aircraft over the radio, whereupon they left Taiwan's air defence zone, it added, without giving further details. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/3eoQi56 via Latest News

‘Cut Out the Cancer and Start Rebuilding’: GOP Operatives Form New Anti-Trump Super PAC

Image
“NeverTrump” Republicans, including former Trump communications director Anthony Scaramucci, have formed another Super PAC to boost former vice president Joe Biden in an effort to defeat Trump in November.The "Right Side PAC," founded by former Ohio GOP chairman Matt Borges — who clashed repeatedly with Trump in 2016 and was later voted out after Trump pressured Ohio Republicans to remove him — aims to complement the Lincoln Project, another anti-Trump PAC led by George Conway, husband of Trump adviser Kellyanne Conway, and other prominent GOP operatives.Borges told Axios that the focus is on taking advantage of “an opportunity to kind of reset things.” He added that the project “would never” have happened if Senators Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) or Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) were the Democratic nominee. Warren is reportedly on the shortlist to be Biden’s running-mate."We're not trying to become Democrats," Borges explained. "I intend to vote for every other ...

AP-NORC poll: Sweeping change in US views of police violence

Image
A dramatic shift has taken place in the nation’s opinions on policing and race, as a new poll finds that more Americans today than five years ago believe police brutality is a very serious problem that too often goes undisciplined and unequally targets black Americans. The new findings from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research suggest the death of George Floyd and the weeks of nationwide and global protests that followed have changed perceptions in ways that previous incidents of police brutality did not. About half of American adults now say police violence against the public is a “very” or “extremely” serious problem, up from about a third as recently as September last year. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2UQIn9i via Latest News
