Much of Israel's Plastic Waste Left to Pile Up as Authorities Have No Clear Recycling Policy

Israelis use an average of 7.5 kilograms of single-use plastics per person every year, five times the amount used in the European Union, but only 24 percent of it is recycled. The rest is being dumped in landfills, something that has proven to be hazardous for both humans and the environment.

How to set up Siri on your iPhone

If you've been saying "Hey, Siri!" to your iPhone only for Siri to ignore you completely (rude), chances are she hasn't been enabled yet.

In order for Siri to work, you'll need to enable Siri on your iPhone before you can have Siri performs tasks like texting your friends or searching the internet hands-free. The process is a simple one and should only take you a minute or two. Here's what you need to do to enable Siri on your iPhone:

1. Go to your iPhone settings on your home screen

2. Scroll down and tap "Siri & Search"

Find "Siri & Search" in your iPhone settings Credit: Screenshot/ apple

3. Tap the switch at the top to turn it green and enable "Listen for 'Hey, Siri'"

4. Your iPhone will prompt you to set up "Hey, Siri" — tap "Continue"

5. You'll be asked to say a series of phrases into your phone, this calibrates Siri and helps the software understand and react to your individual voice

6. Then just tap "Done" and "Hey Siri" is successfully set up.

You can now say "Hey Siri" and ask Siri to do a number of different commands, such as calling your mom.

You can also access Siri by using a button on your iPhone (rather than your voice). Again, you'll find this option in your iPhone settings in "Siri & Search."

Under "Listen for 'Hey, Siri'" you'll see an option that says "Press Side Button for Siri" (or, if you have an iPhone model that still has a "Home" button, it'll say "Press Home Button for Siri." Tap the switch on the right to turn it green, which will enable you to hold your side button or Home button to bring up Siri.

Once you have both "Listen for 'Hey, Siri'" and "Press Side/Home button for Siri activated, your Siri & Search settings should look like this:

How to use your iPhone as a magnifying glass

For many of us, our multitasking iPhones have replaced many other tools and gadgets, including our cameras, calculators, torches, notepads, GPS units, and even our compasses. There's one more item your iPhone can replace — a magnifying glass.

We're taking a look at the iPhone's Magnifier app, a super useful free tool that allows you to magnify using your iPhone's camera.  

The iPhone's Magnifier app

With Magnifier, you can turn your iPhone or iPad into a magnifying glass so you can zoom in on objects or text near you. Magnifier uses your iPhone's built-in camera to enlarge objects or text so you can view them more easily. 

Credit: Screenshot: Apple

The app allows you to increase the zoom level and turn on the flashlight to better display objects and text. You can also adjust the image brightness and contrast, and apply color filters. Plus, there's the option to freeze one or more frames to review them. 

Getting the Magnifier app set up on your iPhone

The best place to access the Magnifier app is via your iPhone's "Control Center." This is the shortcut screen you see when you swipe down from the top right hand side of your iPhone screen. 

In order to add Magnifier to your Control Center, open your iPhone's Settings app and scroll down to see "Control Center." Tap this. 

Credit: Screenshot: Apple

In the next screen, you'll see your current Control Center setup, which lists included controls at the top of the screen, and more controls you have the choice to add at the bottom. Look for the Magnifier option and tap on the green plus sign icon beside it. 

Credit: Screenshot: Apple

Magnifier will now appear in your Control Center options. 

Credit: Screenshot: Apple

To reorder your Control Center shortcut icons, go back into Settings, then Control Center, and tap on the three lines that appear next to each tool. Drag and drop to rearrange. 

Using the iPhone's Magnifier app 

Now that you've got Magnifier set up in your iPhone's Control Center, whenever you want to use it, simply swipe down on the right hand side of your iPhone's screen and tap on the Magnifier shortcut icon. 

This will launch the app, and you'll see your live view window at the top of the screen and Magnifier's various controls at the bottom. 

The iPhone Magnifier's controls are as follows: 

Credit: Screenshot: Apple

• Adjust the zoom level: Drag the zoom control slider left or right.

• Switch to the front or back camera: Tap the camera-with-arrows switch camera button, then tap front or back.

• Adjust the brightness: Tap the sun-shaped brightness button.

• Adjust the contrast: Tap the two-tone circle contrast button.

• Apply color filters: Tap the Venn diagram filters button.

• Turn on your iPhone's flashlight: Tap the flashlight-shaped button.

• Save a magnified object as an image: Tap the large central freeze-frame button. You can then share this via the share icon at the top right of your screen.

How to customize your Magnifier app's controls

The default setup of the Magnifier's controls will be more than adequate for most iPhone owners; however, it is possible to customize how they appear on your screen. To do this, when in the Magnifier app, tap on the cog-shaped icon at the bottom left of your screen. 

Credit: Screenshot: Apple

In the next screen, you can drag and drop by tapping on the three lines icons to change the order of the controls. You can also choose to set two options as primary controls.

Elizabeth Holmes trial: What's going on with the Theranos founder's criminal case

This post was originally published on March 31, 2019 and has been updated multiple times.

---

The federal government is taking Elizabeth Holmes to court.

As you probably know by now, Holmes was the founder and CEO of Theranos, the blood-testing startup featured in the HBO doc The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley (as well as a book, podcast, and, eventually, a feature film starring Jennifer Lawrence). Also being charged is former Theranos president Ramesh "Sunny" Balwani.

The pair has already been tried in the court of public opinion. Now, they are facing a trial for making misleading claims about their company's ability to accurately test pinpricks of blood for a catalog of diseases.

The trial began with jury selection on Aug. 31, and opening arguments got underway Sept. 8.

Here is what is going on with the criminal trial.

What are they charged with?

The government is charging Holmes and Balwani with two counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and nine counts of wire fraud.

The first conspiracy charge alleges that the two conspired to defraud investors, allegedly making "numerous misrepresentations to potential investors about Theranos’s financial condition and its future prospects," according to the Justice Department.

The second conspiracy charge alleges that they schemed to mislead doctors and patients about the speed and accuracy of test results.

Most of the wire fraud charges concern six transactions. Investors transferred money to Theranos, which the prosecution says was based on fraudulent claims about what they were getting in return. Theranos also faces two counts for wiring test results to Walgreens patients in Arizona, and one for wiring money to a New York-based media firm in New York to buy ads for Theranos Wellness Centers in Arizona.

UPDATE 2/12/2020: The charges against Holmes and Balwani got narrower after a February ruling. Judge Edward Davila said that he would dismiss any wire fraud and conspiracy charges regarding patients and doctors who had not paid for tests, or who had been reimbursed by insurance. That's because, in the judge's view, the fraud charges require injured parties to have lost money.

This does not affect the conspiracy and wire fraud charges based on defrauding investors, so although this is a legal victory for Team Theranos, Holmes and Balwani are still in a tight spot.

Why wire fraud?

While the claims Holmes and Balwani actually made to investors, doctors, and patients were allegedly fraudulent, it’s the actions associated with that fraud — receiving money, and sending money and test results — that the federal government prosecutes.

Additionally, charging Holmes and Balwani with wire fraud means Theranos' actions fall under the jurisdiction of the federal government. Because the alleged fraud included interstate wire transfers, the federal government, as opposed to just California, is able to go after them.

What is the evidence?

The material evidence that we know about are the wire transfers themselves. But the prosecution reportedly has more than 12 million pages of documents it plans to turn over to the defense.

In October 2018, the prosecution also won a motion allowing them to review more than 200,000 pages of internal Theranos documents. The indictment also refers to multiple press releases and media appearances that Holmes made that the prosecution considers misleading.

What does the prosecution have to do to win?

While the meat of the case is laying out the story of Theranos — a multi-billion dollar business built on a scientifically impossible idea — the biggest hurdle the prosecution will have to overcome is proving that Holmes and Balwani both knew about the fraud, and intended to defraud investors and customers. They both pleaded not guilty.

But in a deposition with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for a previous civil case, Holmes admitted that she made false statements about Theranos involving its ability to run tests and its supposed deployment in the military.

How much jail time are they looking at?

Holmes and Balwani could each face up to 20 years in prison, and a fine of $250,000 for each count of wire fraud and for each conspiracy count — for a potential total of $2.25 million, plus any additional restitution to victims.

What's going on with the trial now?

UPDATE 11/30/2021: Elizabeth Holmes is mounting her defense. She took the stand on Nov. 19, kicking off her testimony with four days of questioning from her attorneys.

Tweet may have been deleted

Holmes largely claimed that she was not aware of problems with Theranos' lab technology. She said that lack of transparency about using third party devices came from a desire to protect trade secrets. And on her last day of questioning by her lawyers, Holmes stated that she had been in an emotionally and physically abusive relationship with her business partner and ex-boyfriend Sunny Balwani. She said he had been manipulative, and tied his controlling behavior to her conduct as CEO.

On Nov. 30, cross-examination began. The prosecution aimed to show that Holmes was aware of, and took responsibility for, the entirety of the company — including Theranos tech's shortcomings. They also showcased the way she had tried to control the company's image, including by going directly to Wall Street Journal owner, and Theranos Investor, Rupert Murdoch, in an attempt to kill John Carreyou's WSJ story that ultimately led to the company's unravelling. Holmes seemed to avoid confirming specific instances the prosecution raised about her understanding of company issues, but expressed some overarching remorse, saying that she had made mistakes.

Once cross-examination got onto the topic of Holmes' relationship with Balwani, The Verge reporter Elizabeth Lopatto tweeted that several members of the jury looked uncomfortable. The D.A. showcased emails and texts between the two that both showed that they were in a "loving" relationship at the time, and that Balwani was not trying to conceal problems in the lab — that he had shared them directly with Holmes.

Cross-examination continues on Dec. 7.

UPDATE 9/8/21: The trial is underway. Experts, investors, and victims of inaccurate test results are set to testify. In opening statements, the defense has positioned Holmes as a hard-working — if young and naive — businesswoman who never intended to hurt anybody. However, she was led astray by Balwani, and experienced investors knew the risks when they made their investments.

Meanwhile, the prosecution, led by Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Leach, ended his opening statement with the assertion that “This is a case about fraud, about lying and cheating to get money... That’s a crime on Main Street and a crime in Silicon Valley" [per The Verge's Elizabeth Lopatto].

UPDATE 5/4/21: On May 4, 2021, Holmes came to court for the first time in over a year. The coronavirus has delayed the trial, as has Holmes' disclosure to the court in March that she was pregnant, and due to have a baby in July 2021, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Tweet may have been deleted

Holmes and her attorneys appeared in court for the first of three planned days to discuss what evidence they can and can't share with the jury.

Holmes' trial is now scheduled for late August 31, 2021. Balwani's trial will begin sometime in January 2022.

Both trials have been rescheduled multiple times.

UPDATE 4/15/20: It will reportedly be a three-month trial, which is not surprising considering how much evidence both sides have to get through.

At an April 22, 2019 status hearing in San Jose, attorneys for the defense successfully pushed for more time to review the terabytes of evidence the prosecution has been mounting against their clients.

Tweet may have been deleted

Where are they now?

Both Balwani and Holmes are out on bail. Holmes secretly got married in 2019 to her hospitality industry heir boyfriend, and was reportedly living her best life that year, living it up at Burning Man and baseball games. She disclosed to the court in March 2021 that she had become pregnant, and had her baby in July.

Have they faced any other legal action?

Yes. Earlier this March, Holmes settled a civil fraud case with the SEC. She will pay $500,000 to the SEC and agreed to not pursue business leadership roles for the next 10 years (although she is supposedly already pitching new ideas while out on bail). Balwani is pleading not guilty.

Walgreens also sued Theranos for $140 million, hoping to recoup some of its investments in the company in the wake of their disastrous partnership.

What's next?

UPDATE 5/4/21: Judge Davila began hearing pre-trial arguments in early May 2021 about the scope of evidence to include before the jury trial in August.

Additionally, prosecutors have indicated that the Theranos case is even broader than it appears at the moment — so more charges may be coming for Holmes and Balwani, too.

Correction 4/23/2019: A previous version of this story stated that a trial date had been set for July. This was not the case.

Twitch's new Suspicious User Detection tool aims to stop ban evasion

Twitch has introduced a new tool designed to detect people who create new accounts to circumvent channel bans. Called Suspicious User Detection, this new feature is intended to help combat harassment — a recurring problem on the streaming platform.

"Suspicious User Detection, powered by machine learning, is here to help you identify [returning malicious] users based on a number of account signals," Twitch wrote in a blog post on Tuesday. "By detecting and analyzing these signals, this tool will flag suspicious accounts as either 'likely' or 'possible' channel-ban evaders, so you can take action as needed."

Speaking to Mashable about these "account signals," a Twitch spokesperson offered little elaboration, saying only that they include the suspected user's behavior and account characteristics. Such behavior and characteristics are then compared against previously banned accounts to find potential ban evaders.

Tweet may have been deleted

How Twitch's Suspicious User Detection handles these accounts differs according to its assessment of how likely it is that they're guilty. 

By default, "likely" ban evaders' messages will be blocked from appearing in chat so other viewers can't see what they're spewing. In contrast, "possible" ban evaders' messages will still be shown, however the account will be flagged to the streamer and moderators, who can then choose to restrict it from the chat. Users can also choose to adjust these automatic responses, as well as manually add users or turn off Suspicious User Detection completely. 

SEE ALSO: What is Twitch? Everything you need to know about the livestreaming platform

Unfortunately, while viewers may be shielded, streamers and moderators will still have to see every potentially hateful message regardless of how much they fiddle with the settings. A Twitch spokesperson told Mashable this is so they have the option of removing restrictions from incorrectly identified accounts, and completely banning hateful ones.

"One thing to prepare for, particularly around launch, is that no machine learning will ever be 100% accurate, which means there is a possibility of false positives and false negatives," said Twitch's blog. "That's why Suspicious User Detection doesn’t automatically ban all possible or likely evaders… The tool will learn from the actions you take and the accuracy of its predictions should improve over time as a result."

Assessing every potentially hateful user that shows up in your Twitch stream can be emotionally and mentally draining, particularly if there's a high volume of them. But at least Twitch's new tool will help quickly identify previously banned users and hopefully keep them out.

What is Google Home?

Yeah, what is Google Home?

Basically, Google Home is an app that acts as a hub for all of your Google devices. If you have connected home products like a Google Nest thermostat, lights, cameras, or speakers, you can manage them from the Google Home app as well. The Google Home app is available both for both iOS and Android devices.

Google Home screenshots Credit: google play store

Previously, Google Home was a brand of the company's smart speaker, so the term can be a bit confusing. Now the brand Google Home includes everything on its smart home platform, with the Google Home app being the main hub.

The company now offers a line of smart devices under the Google Nest name, such as the Google Nest Cam or Google Nest Audio smart speaker.

The Google Home app allows you to control many different areas of your house while keeping all of your connected devices and services in one, neat and tidy place. It also lets you "Create Routines that allow you to turn on compatible lights, check the weather, play the news, and more with one simple command," the Google Play Store description says.

For instance: If you're away on vacation and want to check in on things at your place, you can use the app to do so. See your camera feed, turn lights on and off, and adjust the temperature in case you forgot to before you left. It also lets you view a "recap of recent events," and it will notify you if something deemed as "important" happens while you're gone.

Google Home screenshots Credit: google play store

Amongst its other uses, Google Home can run WiFi speed tests to help you diagnose internet problems, and if you want to prioritize traffic to certain areas (like video games or video call connection), you can do that, as well.

SEE ALSO: The lighting is always flattering with the best smart bulbs — these are our faves

Having all of your home services and devices available and manageable in one place sounds convenient, sure, but it also raises valid concerns about access and privacy. Google claims to utilize "one of the world’s most advanced security infrastructures, which we build directly into Google products so that they’re secure by default. The built-in security in your Google Account automatically detects and blocks threats before they reach you, so that your personal information is secure."

Still, some have valid concerns about one company being so involved in your life.

So, what is Google Home? It's, well, your home! More specifically, it's a mechanism that acts as a control center for every home device or service connected to it.

Today, Rover announced its annual list of most popular pet names drawn from users of its online service. Most of the list, which includes cats and dogs, are classic run-of-the-mill pet names—"Daisy" and "Max" for dogs and "Luna" and "Leo" for cats. But some of the more unconventional names are no doubt a reflection of the times. This year, for the first time, "Dr. Fauci," "Britney Spears," and "Elon Musk" made the cut. And it seems like a lot of dog owners watch The Mandalorian, because "Grogu" was the number one trending name this year.

Other trending names sound like a star-studded red carpet event. "Doja Cat," "Dua Lipa," "Aretha Franklin" for cats and BTS-inspired dog names all increased in popularity this year. Unfortunately, people also thought it was a good idea to name their pets after cryptocurrencies like "Doge" and yes, "Bitcoin."

How to customize your Apple News alerts

Apple News is a news aggregator app that comes pre-installed on iOS devices and is available to explore via the sidebar on Macs. It's a fabulous free tool that can keep you updated with the current affairs that matter to you, whether that's politics or pop stars. If you want to ensure you're getting the latest breaking news on topics you care about, it's a simple process to set up notifications that will send you an alert. We're taking a look at how.  

Free Apple News services  

Apple News delivers "Top Stories" throughout the day that are sourced and selected by real-life editors who spotlight well-sourced, fact-based stories to provide you relevant, reliable news from a wide range of publishers. 

Credit: Apple

These publishers include the Washington Post, CNN, Fox News, BuzzFeed, NBC News, USA Today, HuffPost, ESPN, Reuters, NPR, Bleacher Report, Business Insider, Politico, Vox, and more. "Top Stories" show up in the "Today" tab at the bottom left of your screen.

When you start using Apple News, you'll see the most popular content. But thanks to on-device intelligence, the more you read, the better Apple News gets, with suggestions for relevant stories to suit your interests. 

There is also the option to customize the Apple News notifications you see as alerts on your iOS device. But first we're all about...

...Location, location, location  

If you share your location with Apple News, this information will be used to display local news and weather, along with locally relevant search results and adverts. If you haven't allowed Apple News to see your location, or if you are unsure and want to check, it's a simple dive into your Settings menu. 

Credit: Apple

Open Settings, then the Privacy menu, then select Location Services. From here, simply scroll down to see Apple News and ensure you have selected "While Using the App."

Speed things up with "Suggested by Siri" selections 

If you don't want to wait for Apple News' algorithms to learn your news consumption preferences, you can speed up the process in the Apple News app's "Following" tab. 

Credit: Apple

Tap on this tab, which you'll find at the bottom of your screen. Scroll down to see the "Suggested by Siri" section. Here you can tap on the plus sign icon next to each topic you're interested in, such as Politics, Science, and Technology, to see more content from those areas.   

Set up Apple News news channel notifications

As well as choosing topics to follow, you can choose to receive top story alerts from a wide range of different news channels, such as CNN, Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, and BBC News, among many others. 

To do this, tap the Following tab. Scroll all the way down to see "Notifications & Email." Tap this. 

Credit: Apple

In the next menu, you can choose which channels you'd like to follow. Simply toggle the button next to the channel's name to show green in order to receive notifications from them. 

If you want to explore even more channels, back in the Following menu, scroll down to the bottom again and tap on "Discover Channels."

Credit: Apple

You can now scroll through all the news channels that are available to you and choose to add them to your notifications list.

Troubleshooting

If you've set up your notifications in the Apple News app but you're not seeing any, you may need to check that you have Apple News notifications enabled in your main Notifications menu within your Settings app. 

Credit: Apple

To do this, open the Settings app and tap on Notifications. Scroll down to see "News" and tap on this to check that you're allowing the banners, sounds, and badges that you want.

How to stop iPhone photo "Memories" alerts

If you have an iPhone running iOS 12 or later, the Photos app has likely alerted you to the fact that "You Have a New Memory" on this day or that one, in the form of photos and videos you've previously saved to your Camera Roll. While some people may find these alerts — and the subsequent automatically curated slideshows or video replays — charmingly nostalgic, for others they can be upsetting reminders of people that are no longer in their lives, lost pets, or unpleasant events.

We're taking a look at making taking a trip down memory lane less painful for iPhone users.  Here's how to disable iPhone Memory alerts.

Memories "For You" 

In the iPhone's Photos app, at the bottom of the screen, you'll see a "For You" tab. If you click on it, you will see your automatically generated "Memories" collections. 

Credit: Screenshot: Apple

While this will be different for everyone depending on the content in their Camera Roll, these can be arranged into categories such as "Pet Friends" or "Portraits," and events such as "Lunch in New York," as well as places and dates. 

Your iPhone will sporadically send you a "You Have a New Memory" notification that prompts you to view a particular slideshow. But it is possible to stop this from happening. 

Stopping iPhone Photos "You Have a New Memory" notifications

To put an end to Memory alerts, you need to take a quick trip into your iPhone's Settings app. Go to the Notifications section and scroll down until you see Photos. Tap it. In the next screen, tap "Customize Notifications" at the bottom.

Credit: Screenshot: Apple

Now you'll see options to toggle off notifications for Memories, Shared Albums, and Sharing Suggestions. 

Credit: Screenshot: Apple

Simply toggle Memories to off (so it's no longer green), and those potentially painful Memories notifications will be stopped. 

You should be aware that this doesn't disable the automatic Memories feature, which will still appear in the Photos app's "For You" tab, but it's up to you if you want to explore this content.

A more targeted approach to stop Memories notifications about certain people and dates 

Completely turning off Memories notifications is a very blunt tool that will stop all future notifications, but if it's just a certain person, or a certain date, that's a trigger for you, there's a more advanced method you can employ. 

You can instruct your iPhone Photos app to feature a person less or never in Memories notifications. To do this, head to the Photos app and tap the "Albums" tab at the bottom of your iPhone's screen. Scroll down to see the "People & Places" section and tap "People." 

This will bring up thumbnails of all the people you have the most photographs of. Tap on the thumbnail of the person you don't want to get Memories notifications of, and in the next screen, tap on the three dots menu at the top right of your screen. 

In the next menu that pops up, tap on "Feature This Person Less." 

Credit: Screenshot: Apple

You'll now get two options. The first is to choose to feature that person less often, which means individual photos and videos of that person will not be shown, although they may appear in group photos.

Credit: Screenshot: Apple

The other option is to "Never Feature This Person," which means no photos of that person will ever appear in your Memories again. 

You can do the same with dates. In the "For You" tab, when you see a date you don't want a Memories reminder about, tap on the three dots menu and choose "Feature Less."

Credit: Screenshot: Apple

This will ensure any dates that have upsetting connotations won't be highlighted by the Memories functionality in your Photos app.

What happens if you change your mind?

If you have a change of heart about any of the feature less/never feature changes you've made to your Photos app, you can simply reset your settings.

Just go to your Settings app and scroll down to Photos, then tap on "Reset Suggested Memories."

Why we like them

We really like these headphones — they've got best-in-class noise cancellation, a transparency mode, and spatial audio — but we also really like the fact that they're on sale. Amazon previously had the sky blue and space gray ones on sale for just $429 (or $120 off), which was their lowest price to date, but they have either gone out of stock or up in price (at least at the time of writing this).
