Twitter’s new boss Elon Musk announced on Thursday that he will reinstate suspended accounts on the platform next week if they have not broken the law, going back on reassuring words when he took control.
 
To the question, published Wednesday in the form of a poll on his account, of whether Twitter should offer a “blanket amnesty to suspended accounts as long as they haven’t broken the law or sent spam in an outrageous manner,” 72.4 percent of some 3.16 million people said “yes.”
 
“The people have spoken, amnesty begins next week,” Musk tweeted Thursday, a holiday in the United States for the Thanksgiving holiday, accompanying his post with the message “Vox Populi, Vox Dei” (“The voice of the people is the voice of God »).
 
It is with this same expression that he had, Saturday, rehabilitated the account of former U.S. President Donald Trump, banned from the social network after the assault on the Capitol in Washington in January 2021.
 
The leader of Tesla and SpaceX had taken this decision following a similar consultation on the network with the blue bird, a method with uncertain representativeness. A narrow majority (51.8%) of the 15 million voters had expressed themselves in favor of a return of the Republican billionaire, who has not tweeted since the restoration of his account.
 
Elon Musk has repeatedly explained that he bought Twitter because he sees the platform as the “digital public square” essential to democracy in the world.
 
The richest man in the world considers content moderation to be too restrictive, but his absolutist vision of freedom of expression has led to fears of a flood of abuse (disinformation, hate speech) on the social network.
 
Many brands have already suspended their advertising spending on Twitter, which depends on it for 90% of its revenue.

Apple Keynote 2022: iPhone 14 unveiled, Magnate Daily

Steph Deschamps / September 7, 2022

It’s back to school for Apple! The Apple company, through the voice of Tim Cook, is currently unveiling its new collection during its big back-to-school conference, the Keynote, which is currently held on the stage of the Steve Jobs Theater, at the Cupertino HQ, in California. 
 
The iphone 14 has been unveiled this Wednesday evening with a larger  version, called iPhone 14 Plus but also Pro versions. Five colors were presented. Apple does not announce any price increase compared to the iPhone 13, that is to say a launch price of 799 dollars and 899 dollars for the iPhone 14 Plus. 
Before that, the new Apple Watch Series 8 was confirmed, followed by a new Watch SE 2 and a so-called Ultra version for the most extreme athletes.
New AirPods Pro 2 were also presented during this Apple Keynote 2022.
  
 
Let’s move on to the pricing of the new iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max. These will be available from several prices depending on the storage capacity you need:
iPhone 14 Pro: starting at $999
iPhone 14 Pro Max: from 1099 dollars.
Both devices will be available from September 16 and open for pre-orders from September 9.
 
A new sensor will be available for the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max! The latter will have 48 MP, never seen on an iPhone. But megapixels are not everything and we will have to wait and see if the digital processing of the iPhone remains as powerful as before for high quality photos.
 
 
The iPhone 13 was already very powerful. But the iPhone 14 Pro goes even further by integrating the new A16 Bionic chip for more performance. Apple even promises 40% higher performance than the competition (are they talking about the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor available in Android?).
 
You had trouble seeing your notifications on the iPhone? Apple promises a bright screen of up to 2000 nits for its new iPhone 14 Pro (and Pro Max). An impressive figure, but we’ll have to test it when the phone comes out to see if we have the brightest screen on the market.
  
 
More room for your wallpaper. This is already the promise initiated with iOS 16 and confirmed with the iPhone 14 Pro and its new, more discreet notch. Notifications become more discreet, but expand when they appear on your screen.
 
Looking for something new on the iPhone 14? No problem, here are the new iPhones 14 Pro and Pro Max with the new notch that extends when you make phone calls. Available in black, white, gold and purple.
 
Available from September 16, the iPhone 14 will be offered from 799 dollars, the same price as the iPhone 13 at its launch! No price increase is finally planned despite the numerous rumors of the last weeks. The iPhone 14 Plus will be available at the beginning of October for 899 dollars.
 
The new feature of emergency calls by satellite will not be free! This last one will be first reserved to Canada and the US with a period of two years offered for the purchase of an iPhone 14.
 
Are you in an area without a 4G or 5G network? Don’t panic. The iPhone 14 has a brand new service: Emergency SOS via Satellite. This allows the iPhone 14 to connect to a satellite to make emergency calls in case you have no phone network.
 
Do you have an eSIM card? The iPhone 14 might be for you. The device now supports eSIM on multiple devices while strengthening the security of your data. You will no longer need to have your physical SIM card in your iPhone!
 
Apple details the new features of the iPhone 14, including an improved 12MP photo sensor. What to take better photos, especially in low light where performance would be improved by 49% compared to the previous generation. The selfie camera is also improved and captures more light in low light.
 
Black, white, red, purple and turquoise. These are the new colors of the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus available at the launch of the phone. These will be available on the official Apple store and authorized dealers.
 
The Apple Keynote unveils the new iPhone 14. The latter still has the same design as its predecessor but with some new features, including the iPhone 14 Plus which has a larger size.
 
A new, even smaller earmold, a new chip, more powerful spatial audio, an  improved battery, twice the noise reduction of the previous model… These are just some of the new features of the new AirPods Pro 2. The headphones will also be able to automatically adjust their transparency mode to keep you connected to the world when using noise reduction.
The AirPods Pro 2 will be available starting at $249 on September 23. You can reserve your copy online starting Friday, September 9.
 
Apple finally announces the AirPods Pro 2! After months of waiting, the most successful wireless earphones of the firm are finally official. They are equipped with a brand new chip and a new audio distortion for a great sound quality. Spatial audio is still available and enhanced as if you were on a stage with your favorite band playing alongside you.
 
The Apple Watch Ultra is not for the average user. That’s why it has new features, including the most advanced GPS in the range. The Apple Watch Ultra will be available from $799 on September 23. This is a record for a watch aimed at the general public, but the first rumors indicated a price close to 1000 dollars.
 
Do you like diving? The Apple Watch Ultra will have a new app that will allow you to use it several meters underwater to track your progress, depth and other data that you can then find on your iPhone. Your data will automatically sync at the end of your dive.

Elon Musk turns around and offers to buy Twitter again

Elon Musk turns around and offers to buy Twitter again, Magnate Daily

Steph Deschamps / October 5, 2022

U.S. multi-billionaire Elon Musk has finally offered to buy the social network from Twitter at the price agreed in April, two weeks before the expected trial between the two parties on this eventful acquisition.
 
The Tesla boss “intends to complete the transaction contemplated by the purchase agreement of April 25, 2022”, according to the terms, wrote his lawyers in a letter addressed to the Californian group on Monday, and filed Tuesday with the U.S. securities regulator, the SEC.
 
The only condition expressed in the letter: the end of legal proceedings pending before the specialized court of Delaware.
 
Twitter’s stock rose more than 22% on the New York Stock Exchange. It had previously been suspended all afternoon “pending information”, after an article from the agency Bloomberg revealing this rebound.
 
Elon Musk had proposed in the spring to acquire the platform for $54.20 per share, valuing it at $44 billion. The board of directors of the social network, initially very reluctant, had finally accepted.
 
The contractor had unilaterally reneged on this agreement in July. The group with the blue bird had then launched a lawsuit to force him to honor his commitment, and everything indicated that he was well positioned to win.
 
Tuesday, the group confirmed in a brief statement “having received the letter” and having the intention “to conclude this transaction” at the defined price.
 
Elon Musk had bombarded Twitter with criticism before and after the signing of the contract, accusing the platform of censoring users.
 
He had justified his backtracking by saying that the proportion of automated accounts on the platform was well above the 5%, the figure put forward by the company of San Francisco.
 
Faced with Twitter’s complaint, the president of the specialized court of Delaware that had to deal with the case granted the company a quick trial, while Elon Musk wanted to wait until next year and asked for astronomical amounts of data.
 
The trial was supposed to take place from October 17 to 21, but it will not take place if Twitter accepts this new offer.
