Google is nerfing all Home Minis because mine spied on everything I said 24

Google never intended for it to happen and has reacted incredibly swiftly to rectify the situation.

I went to the Google launch event in San Francisco that I'm sure many of you watched closely.

In addition to the two new Pixels, the Pixelbook, Pixel Buds, and Google Clips, Google introduced the Home Mini, a tiny $50 version of the Home we'd expected for several months.

On a very small number of Google Home Mini devices, Google is seeing the touch panel register “phantom” touch events.

The firmware I was originally running was 1.28.99351. Google says the new firmware is 1.28.100122, and the rollout has already been completed.

Google nerfed all Home Minis by disabling the long-press in response, and is now looking into a long-term solution. »

Quantifying underreporting of law-enforcement-related deaths in United States vital statistics and news-media-based data sources: A capture–recapture analysis

Authored by journals.plos.org

Several governmental and nongovernmental databases track the number of law-enforcement-related deaths in the US, but all are likely to undercount these deaths.

If a death is improperly assigned another code, it is considered to be misclassified, which leads to undercounting of the number of law-enforcement-related deaths.
