🚨WOW!!!!!
An 11-year-old boy in Kentucky has been hailed as a hero for RESCUING a man who was drowning and unconscious at the bottom of a pool.
His name is Avory Woolery, he is ELEVEN years old.
According to Avory, the adults around the pool weren't doing anything, so he put on his goggles, dove down, and pulled a grown man up out of the water.
"No one was doing anything, so I put on my goggles. I went underwater. I grabbed him up. There was no way that I was going to let another man die today. He's a human being. He should be treated as such."
In August, Kentucky lawmakers gave him a citation of achievement and he got to meet the governor.
The kid's response?
"Try and be the best person you can be whenever someone is in danger or someone just needs a friend,"
WHAT AN ABSOLUTE HERO!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Tesla is sending out this email to New Jersey Tesla owners, warning them that NJ could block autonomous vehicles, and to take action.
"Proposed legislation moving through Trenton right now would impose restrictions so severe that true driverless deployment would remain illegal. Your voice is critical to ensure New Jersey remains at the forefront of transportation innovation.
We urge you to contact your state legislators today and tell them to:
• Fix S. 1677 / A. 3968, and
• Support autonomous vehicle policy that encourages safety outcomes, open competition, and expanded access for every New Jersey resident.
Autonomous vehicles are no longer a futuristic concept. The driverless technology exists and it is already making roads measurably safer in states that have welcomed it. Instead of positioning itself as a leader in transportation innovation, New Jersey is about to go in the opposite direction."

The FBI is aware of a service disruption affecting an online Learning Management System (LMS). This disruption has impacted schools, educational institutions, and students across the country.
If you are contacted directly by anyone claiming to have your data, we recommend you not send payment or respond to their demands. By receiving a message, that does not necessarily mean your personal information has been compromised. Threat actors often exaggerate or fabricate their access to sensitive or personal information to prompt payment from victims. We encourage individuals to be cautious of unsolicited emails, calls, or texts claiming to be from your school, the LMS provider, or law enforcement and to verify the contact through known channels before responding.
We understand that the immediate concern for individuals/students is determining what, if any, of their data or other sensitive information may have been exposed. At this time, the strongly recommended course is to await formal guidance from your educational institution regarding the scope of the incident and the nature of any affected data.
If you believe you have been impacted by the attack, please file a complaint at ic3.gov.
All crimes can have a devastating effect on those who have been impacted, as well as their families who may need help coping with what happened. Visit fbi.gov for more resources on coping with the impact of crime:

Puede que sea polémico. Voy a contar una realidad desde mi experiencia personal:
Ayer dejé el @Volkswagen ID.4 en el concesionario, para actualizar el software del coche, ya que es una campaña. Tenía la versión 3.7 y me han instalado la 3.8 (que lleva 8 meses liberada y debería ser OTA pero se ve que todavía no).
La actualización tarda 5 horas y como no lo tienen en el día te dejan un coche de sustitución. Por otro lado la actualización ha fallado 3 veces pero al final lo han conseguido. En total el coche ha estado en el concesionario unas 30 horas. Y a mí me han dado sin coste un Volkswagen Polo 1.0 TSI (sorprendente lo que anda para 90cv)
Se me ha desconfigurado todo el coche, asientos, luz ambiental, colores/ajustes de la pantalla, etc. tonterías al fin y al cabo.
Y en el concesionario F.Tomé me han tratado estupendamente (igual que en sus instalaciones de Audi y de Skoda), ellos no tienen la culpa del sistema ni mucho menos.
Por otro lado, antes de ayer me llegó al @Tesla de 2019 la actualización 2026.14.1, se descargó sola, se instaló de madrugada en 35 minutos. Y a la mañana siguiente mi coche estaba como siempre, con alguna función nueva.
Paraos a pensar en ambos modelos. ¿Qué coste tiene para VW el tener que recepcionar coches, perder a un técnico 5 horas, sufragar un coche de sustitución (a todo riesgo), me han entregado el coche lavado, cuanta gente involucrada… para tener un retorno directo de 0€?
¿Qué coste tiene para Tesla desplegar un rollout de una actualización?
¿Y para el usuario? En un caso he faltado 1 hora al trabajo ayer. Y he perdido 1 hora hoy para ir a buscar el coche, además de gastar 10€ de gasolina y andar pendiente del teléfono por si me quedaba sin coche el fin de semana. En el otro caso me supuso una notificación en el móvil que decía “actualización disponible, pulse para instalar”.
Me es inevitable comparar. Son de esas cosas que como decía @mgarces83 no se ven hasta que no las has vivido, y que parecen tonterías a la hora de decidir por un coche o por otro, pero dicen mucho de cómo se va a definir tu experiencia de uso.

Keep an eye on the Ed Tech Leaders Alliance (ETLA) as they share "scary apps" throughout the month of October! These apps have privacy policies that should scare all K12 educators! View them all at: edtechleadersalliance.org/sc…
Don't get tricked with Grammarly! They decided this summer that they will no longer sign data privacy agreements for their free version. Their addition of genAI in the app makes the free version doubly haunted!
