Amazon‘s virtual assistant Alexa stopped working for some users around the world yesterday.
Customers found their Echo devices were malfunctioning, ignoring requests to turn off and spontaneously shutting down.
The problem was traced to a faulty server connection.
YouTube has officially banned all dangerous internet challenges.
They are giving people two months to take down videos of dangerous challenges like the Tide Pod Challenge and the Bird Box challenge.
Also banned are pranks which make victims believe they’re in serious danger — i.e. a home invasion prank or a drive-by shooting prank — or ones that cause children to experience emotional distress.
On Sunday night, early Monday morning, the moon will undergo a full lunar eclipse resulting in a Super Blood Wolf Moon.
An eclipse happens when the Sun, Earth and a full moon line up perfectly and the moon then falls into Earth’s shadow. The sun’s light then reflects onto the surface of the moon, turning it a radiant burnt-orange colour, known as a “Blood Moon”.
A Super Moon occurs when the moon moves closer to Earth and appears larger than normal. A Wolf Moon is a name given to a full moon in January.
Unless there is heavy cloud coverage, the eclipse should be fairly easy to see.
The celestial event will be visible at the following times Sunday/Monday:
-Partial umbral eclipse begins 10:34 p.m.
-Total lunar eclipse begins 11:41 p.m.
-Mid-eclipse 12:12 a.m.
-Total lunar eclipse ends 12:43 a.m.
-Partial umbral eclipse ends 1:51 a.m.
