Amazon’s speedy drone delivery service will soon reach 500 cities across the US — but that might just mean there are more pools to drop packages into. On Wednesday, ABC7 News Bay Area shared a video showing an Amazon delivery drone hovering over a customer’s pool in Texas, before opening its hatch and plopping the package directly into the water.This isn’t the first time Amazon’s drones have delivered soggy packages. A video shared last July shows a Prime Air drone dropping a package right next to a customer’s pool in Arizona, but air sent downward by the drone’s propellers blew…

The growing influence of technology platforms over what Nigerians see, share and believe is creating an accountability gap that requires stronger scrutiny from both digital platforms and regulators, participants at a multistakeholder dialogue in Abuja have said. The dialogue on Wednesday was organised by the Centre for Journalism Innovation and Development (CJID) bringing together newsroom leaders, journalists, regulators, civil society actors and other stakeholders to examine Nigeria’s response to emerging digital harms while safeguarding freedom of expression. From scams encountered on social media to artificial intelligence systems capable of generating convincing misinformation and impersonating people, discussions at the event focused…

The World Bank has urged developing economies, including Nigeria, to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence, saying the technology could help drive stronger global economic growth. It, however, cautioned that AI systems trained on foreign data may produce inaccurate results in Nigeria when applied to local conditions. The Bank disclosed this in its latest World Development Report, titled ‘The Promise of Artificial Intelligence’. The lender stated that developing economies today have more to gain and less to fear from AI than richer ones, noting that one out of every six jobs would be enhanced rather than replaced, as is commonly…

Osun State Governor, Senator Ademola Adeleke Multiple sources told me last week that what came across in the governorship poll as a ringing endorsement of Adeleke, especially by civil servants, was actually a defence of group self-interest under a government unwilling or incapable of curbing corruption in the civil service…. “It was a game of rub-my-back-and-I-rub-yours,” a source said, “by a governor desperate for reelection and civil servants desperate to enjoy their booming ungoverned side hustle.” Is this civil service still fit for purpose? What will happen after Adeleke is blowing in the wind. The money that politicians didn’t spend…

Afrobeats star Davido has suggested that he may step back from the centre of the music industry within the next five to six years, saying he does not intend to remain in the spotlight at 40 while competing with artists in their 20s. Davido made the remarks during an appearance on The Uncut Podcast. The 33-year-old singer, however, stopped short of announcing his retirement and stressed that his comments should not be interpreted as a call for established musicians to quit the industry. “This is my contemporaries’ and my last 5–6 years. I am not going to be 40, still…

The Premier League will take a tougher stance on holding and grappling at set pieces this season, with referees instructed to pay greater attention to actions that have a clear impact on play. Although the laws of the game remain unchanged, officials across the Premier League, English Football League and Women’s Super League have been told to take stronger action against deliberate holding, particularly when it prevents opponents from competing for the ball or moving into dangerous positions. The focus will be on what officials describe as “non-footballing holding actions”, instances where a player is only focused on an opponent,…

Comcast announced a new platform this week called Xfinity Shield that includes the option to let customers turn their routers into motion sensors. Many people reacted with fear and anger.“I am not enabling this. I am also seriously considering replacing my leased gateway with my own equipment, because a device I do not control sitting in my living room measuring the motion of my family is not a feature I asked for,” wrote one customer on the r/Comcast subreddit Some concerns stem from a clause on the support page for the feature, called WiFi Motion, which says Comcast might share…

Europe’s crackdown on Tether’s USDT is entering a new phase.When Revolut told European users it would delist USDT after Aug. 31, it became another in a long line of European platforms restricting access to the world’s largest stablecoin as firms adapt to the requirements of the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation.MiCA’s stablecoin rules have been phasing in since 2024, and the EU-wide transition period ended on July 1, putting further pressure on platforms to drop tokens that don’t meet the rules.Yet according to Artemis Analytics, Tether being squeezed out of a major market has shown little sign of triggering…
