Accenture estimated last year that $41 trillion in enterprise value was at risk of disruption because of companies that were trying to play it safe and “rely on what’s worked for them in the past.” Now that the COVID-19 pandemic has swept across the world, those businesses are paying an especially steep price. As virtually all businesses grapple with this challenge—including, in many cases, loss of productivity from workers who are at home and taking care of their children—machines have generally been able to work as hard as ever....

After all, is there anything better than an ice cream maker that’s reliant on disposable pods to produce your food? Well, if you’re concerned about the environment, then yes. But we digress.

While the Steam Deck won’t perform any better when connected to its (sold separately) dock, it also won’t perform any worse when used in handheld mode. This may disappoint some folks, as it results in docked performance having the same constraints as the handheld mode’s specs.

As I watched the ceremony, I was struck by the difference between our approach to teaching kids to drive and teaching them to use computers. Cars and computers are both powerful tools that can do wonderful or terrible things–depending on whose hands are on the wheel or whose fingers are on the keyboard. Most parents know that inducting a teenager into the world of driving requires more than teaching him the mechanics....

In a study that was published in July in the Annals of Internal Medicine, it was found that, “Hydroxychloroquine did not substantially reduce symptom severity in outpatients with early, mild COVID-19....

Reddit user ADarkcid shared the photo in the r/interestingasf**k subreddit on Thursday morning to share the internet buzz about the pair from the Yunnan province in China. “While humans carry out social distancing, a group of 14 elephants broke into a village in Yunan province, looking for corn and other food.

Comedian Jerry Seinfeld is pleasant enough, but since the publication of his No. 1 book “SeinLanguage,” his face has enjoyed a ubiquity Saddam Hussein can only dream about. He’s got his own show, a glut of American Express ads, even a recent Playboy cover. Now he’s leering at passersby from bookshop windows everywhere. Seinfeld’s countenance is already being nosed aside, however, by bad-boy broadcaster Howard Stern, who’s been mercilessly flogging his new book “Private Parts....

RELATED: Dark Souls: The Coolest Berserk References In The Games The soundtrack of these games is easily one of the best parts of the game.

“This is one of the most populated nodes on the Net–there’s a million visitors a day here,” says Jerry Yang, cofounder of Yahoo!, an electronic guide to the Internet that has established itself as one of cyberspace’s hottest addresses.

As this happens, Ruth is standing in front of a pain management scale. If she was a six before (moderate pain), she is a ten by the time the day is over. As Jason Newman’s “Go Away (To Paradise)” continues to play in the background, Ruth’s torture continues outside of work: in the car park, where an impatient driver won’t let her pass; in the grocery store, where people behave selfishly; in the bar, where a man (Blair) ruins the book she’s reading; and at home, where someone let their dog crap on her front yard (ironically, right in front of her handmade no-poop sign)....
