#lodi646 Marvis client provides visibility from device to cloud, helping optimize Wi Fi experience 12-23-2024 07:38 PM CET | Industry, Real Estate & Construction Press release from: ABNewswire In today's enterprises, Wi Fi performance is closely linked to business performance.Unstable connections not only reduce productivity, but also impose a heavy burden on IT network administrators who strive to ensure a seamless Wi Fi experience. With the number of devices connected to the network far exceeding before, a clear understanding of network performance and insightful guidance has quickly become a critical business requirement. Throughout history, insights into network performance have not been comprehensive enough, and only limited understanding of the network can be obtained from the access point (AP) level. Deeply understanding the clients connected to the access point has always been a challenge in the industry. However, Juniper Networks has made this situation a thing of the past. With Marvis Registered With the launch of the client, you can now directly understand users' Wi Fi experience through their devices in an unprecedented way.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A Dallas man who tried to fly overseas to join the Russian military and fight against Ukraine was sentenced on Friday to six months in prison for violating the terms of his probation for storming the U.S. Capitol four years ago. Kevin Loftus, a 56-year-old veteran of the U.S. Army, was stopped from boarding an Oct. 28 flight from Dallas to Tbilisi, Georgia, by way of Istanbul, Turkey, when Turkish Airlines identified a “security flag” associated with him, according to federal prosecutors. Loftus didn't have the court's permission to travel internationally or to drive from Texas to Iowa, where the FBI arrested him three days after his flight plans fell apart, prosecutors said. Loftus told the FBI that he had hoped to secure a 90-day visa to travel to Russia, where he intended to apply for temporary residency. Loftus said he had used the Telegram messaging platform to communicate with a man who would connect him with the Russian Territorial Defense Unit, a volunteer military corps. “Loftus said he had already sent the man approximately $1200 to purchase equipment for Russian soldiers,” prosecutors wrote . “Loftus said his intent was to fight for Russia and against Ukraine.” Loftus declined to address the court before U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich sentenced him for the probation violation. The judge said Loftus has repeatedly violated court orders. “He doesn't think these rules should apply to him,” Friedrich said. “He wants to be above the law.” Defense attorney Benjamin Schiffelbein said Loftus wanted to enlist in the Russian military because he “felt bad” for Russian soldiers and wanted to help them. “He had no idea whether they could make use of him," the lawyer said. Loftus, a six-year Army veteran, intended to permanently relocate to another country, according to prosecutors. “And his planned travel was for the express purpose of joining a foreign army to take up arms against one of this country’s allies and in opposition to this country’s foreign policy,” they wrote. In January 2021, Loftus traveled from Wisconsin to Washington, D.C., to attend then-President Donald Trump's “Stop the Steal” rally near the White House. After joining the mob of Trump supporters at the Capitol, he entered the building and took photographs. He spent approximately five minutes inside the Capitol. Loftus was arrested at his Wisconsin home several days after the riot. He pleaded guilty in October 2021 to a misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building. After his arrest, Loftus posted comments about his case on social media, referring to himself as “famous” and a “hero” for taking part in the Jan. 6 attack. “Loftus also stated that he gained that fame by ‘standing up for all Americans’ because he ‘broke the law,’ and he would file lawsuits against unidentified persons after the criminal case was over,” prosecutors wrote . Prosecutors recommended 30 days of imprisonment for Loftus, but Friedrich initially sentenced him to three years of probation. For his probation violation, prosecutors requested a six-month prison sentence. They noted that Loftus, while on probation, also was arrested in December 2023 and charged with driving while intoxicated in Richardson, Texas. Loftus was required to attend a substance abuse program, but he avoided jail time for that violation. Over 1,500 people have been charged with Capitol riot-related crimes. More than 1,000 of them have been convicted and sentenced, with roughly two-thirds receiving a term of imprisonment ranging from a few days to 22 years . Trump has repeatedly vowed to pardon Capitol rioters, but the district court judges in Washington, D.C., typically have refused to postpone sentencings, plea hearings and trials until after the president-elect returns to the White House.

Spotlight on Amgen: Analyzing the Surge in Options ActivityUVALDE, Texas (AP) — A Texas judge on Thursday refused to throw out criminal charges accusing the former Uvalde schools police chief of putting children at risk during the slow response to the shooting, while a lawyer for his co-defendant said they want to move the upcoming trial out of the small town where the massacre occurred. At a court hearing in Uvalde, Judge Sid Harle rejected Pete Arredondo's claim that was he improperly charged and that only the shooter was responsible for putting the victims in danger. Nineteen children and two teachers were killed in the shooting on May 24, 2022. Harle also set an Oct. 20, 2025, trial date. An attorney for Arredondo's co-defendant, former Uvalde schools police officer Adrian Gonzales, said he will ask for the trial to be moved out of Uvalde because his client cannot get a fair trial there. Uvalde County is mostly rural with fewer than 25,000 residents about 85 miles (140 kilometers) west of San Antonio. “Everybody knows everybody,” in Uvalde, Gonzales attorney Nico LaHood said. Both former officers attended the hearing. Nearly 400 law enforcement agents rushed to the school but to confront and kill the gunman in a fourth-grade classroom. Arredondo and Gonzales are the only two officers facing charges — a fact that has raised complaints from some victims' families. Both men have pleaded not guilty to multiple counts of abandoning or endangering a child, each of which carry punishment of up to two years in jail. Gonzales has not asked the judge to dismiss his charges. A federal investigation of the shooting identified Arredondo as the incident commander in charge, although he has argued that state police should have set up a command post outside the school and taken control. Gonzales was among the first officers to arrive on the scene. He was accused of abandoning his training and not confronting the shooter, even after hearing gunshots as he stood in a hallway. Arredondo has said he was for the halting police response. The alleges he did not follow his active shooter training and made critical decisions that slowed the police response while the gunman was “hunting” his victims. It alleges that instead of confronting the gunman immediately, Arredondo caused delays by telling officers to evacuate a hallway to wait for a SWAT team, evacuating students from other areas of the building first, and trying to negotiate with the shooter while victims inside the classroom were wounded and dying. Arredondo’s attorneys say the danger that day was not caused by him, but by the shooter. They argued Arredondo was blamed for trying to save the lives of the other children in the building, and have warned that prosecuting him would open many future law enforcement actions to similar charges. “Arredondo did nothing to put those children in the path of a gunman,” said Arredondo attorney Matthew Hefti. Uvalde County prosecutors told the judge Arredondo acted recklessly. “The state has alleged he is absolutely aware of the danger of the children,” said assistant district attorney Bill Turner. Jesse Rizo, the uncle of 9-year-old Jacklyn Cazares who was killed in the shooting, was one of several family members of victims at the hearing. “To me, it’s hurtful and painful to hear Arredondo’s attorneys try to persuade the judge to get the charges dismissed,” Rizo said. He called the wait for a trial exhausting and questioned whether moving the trial would help the defense. “The longer it takes, the longer the agony,” Rizo said. “I think what’s happened in Uvalde ... you’ll probably get a better chance at conviction if it’s moved. To hold their own accountable is going to be very difficult.” The massacre at Robb Elementary was one of the worst school shootings in U.S. history, and the law enforcement response has been widely condemned as a massive failure. Nearly 150 U.S. Border Patrol agents, 91 state police officers, as well and school and city police rushed to the campus. While terrified students and teachers called 911 from inside classrooms, dozens of officers stood in the hallway trying to figure out what to do. More than an hour later, a team of officers breached the classroom and killed the gunman. Within days of the shooting, the focus of the slow response turned on Arredondo, who was described by other responding agencies as the incident commander in charge. and state investigations have laid bare cascading problems in law enforcement training, communication, leadership and technology, and questioned whether officers prioritized their own lives over those of children and teachers. Several victims or their families have filed Associated Press reporter Jim Vertuno in Austin, Texas, contributed.

Marvell Technology has unveiled a custom HBM compute architecture designed to increase the efficiency and performance of XPUs, a key component in the rapidly evolving cloud infrastructure landscape. The new architecture, developed in collaboration with memory giants Micron, , and SK Hynix, aims to address limitations in traditional memory integration by offering tailored solutions for next-generation data center needs. The architecture focuses on improving how XPUs - used in advanced AI and cloud computing systems - handle memory. By optimizing the interfaces between AI compute silicon dies and High Bandwidth Memory stacks, Marvell claims the technology reduces power consumption by up to 70% compared to standard HBM implementations. Moving away from JEDEC Additionally, its redesign reportedly decreases silicon real estate requirements by as much as 25%, allowing cloud operators to expand compute capacity or include more memory. This could potentially allow XPUs to support up to 33% more HBM stacks, massively boosting memory density. “The leading cloud data center operators have scaled with custom infrastructure. Enhancing XPUs by tailoring HBM for specific performance, power, and total cost of ownership is the latest step in a new paradigm in the way AI accelerators are designed and delivered,” Will Chu, Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Custom, Compute and Storage Group at Marvell said. “We’re very grateful to work with leading memory designers to accelerate this revolution and, help cloud data center operators continue to scale their XPUs and infrastructure for the AI era.” HBM plays a central role in XPUs, which use advanced packaging technology to integrate memory and processing power. Traditional architectures, however, limit scalability and energy efficiency. Marvell’s new approach modifies the HBM stack itself and its integration, aiming to deliver better performance for less power and lower costs - key considerations for hyperscalers who are continually seeking to manage rising energy demands in data centers. Patrick Kennedy, who reported the news live from Marvell Analyst Day 2024, noted the cHBM (custom HBM) is not a JEDEC solution and so will not be standard off the shelf HBM. “Moving memory away from JEDEC standards and into customization for hyperscalers is a monumental move in the industry,” he writes. “This shows Marvell has some big hyperscale XPU wins since this type of customization in the memory space does not happen for small orders.” The collaboration with leading memory makers reflects a broader trend in the industry toward highly customized hardware. “Increased memory capacity and bandwidth will help cloud operators efficiently scale their infrastructure for the AI era,” said Raj Narasimhan, senior vice president and general manager of Micron’s Compute and Networking Business Unit. “Strategic collaborations focused on power efficiency, such as the one we have with Marvell, will build on Micron’s industry-leading HBM power specs, and provide hyperscalers with a robust platform to deliver the capabilities and optimal performance required to scale AI.”

MADRID (AP) — Real Valladolid beat Valencia 1-0 and rose off the bottom of La Liga on Friday. Moroccan forward Anuar scored with a solo effort after 19 minutes. “It's a sense of relief because we needed the three points,” Anuar said on broadcaster DAZN. “It was like a final, and fortunately, we managed to come out on top.” Valladolid's Juanmi Latasa was sent off 12 minutes from time after a video review showed he used an elbow, but the home side managed to hold on for the win against a toothless rival. It was a welcome three points for caretaker coach Álvaro Rubio and his first since replacing Paulo Pezzolano, who was fired at the start of December. Valencia replaced Valladolid on the bottom of the table. Valencia has only two wins in 15 league games, but two games in hand. AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer

Honey, a popular browser extension owned by , is the target of one YouTuber's investigation that was widely shared over the weekend—over 6 million views, as of Monday. accuses Honey of misrepresenting itself to consumers, ripping off influencers, and engaging in questionable practices like opening hidden tabs to simulate referral links, ensuring commission on any online sale. The video was posted by , a content creator from New Zealand who creates investigative videos about technology; he’s previously posted investigations into , the glasses built for color-blind folks, and . Jimmy “ ” Donaldson, Marques “ ” Brownlee, and Linus Sebastian of , three popular YouTubers who have previously promoted Honey in their own videos, did not immediately respond to ’s request for comment. MegaLag also did not immediately respond. A spokesperson for PayPal Honey provided the following statement: “Honey is free to use and provides millions of shoppers with additional savings on their purchases whenever possible. Honey helps merchants reduce cart abandonment and comparison shopping while increasing sales conversion. Honey follows industry rules and practices, including last-click attribution.” For some background: Honey was founded in November 2012 by a pair of entrepreneurs, Ryan Hudson and George Ruan. After a bug tester , the browser extension went viral; it had nearly a million organic users by March 2014. PayPal acquired Honey in 2020. Honey, for its part, off commissions when a user makes a transaction with one of its retail partners. Part of that commission gets shared with the customer through a cash-back program. According to MegaLag’s video, though, Honey also engages in deceptive and misleading business practices that hurt consumers, affiliates, and businesses. “Honey hasn’t just been scamming you, the consumer; they’ve also been stealing money from influencers, including the very ones they paid to promote their product,” MegaLag said in the video. According to MegaLag, Honey will prioritize coupon codes from its partnering stores, even if there are better discounts elsewhere, meaning it intentionally hides discounts of higher values. Furthermore, MegaLag claims Honey overrides affiliate links from influencers, replacing them with its own, to claim commission on sales. “PayPal didn’t refer the customer to the store. They didn’t promote any of the products. The influencer did that,” MegaLag said. “PayPal provided absolutely zero value to the customer, yet they were rewarded for the sale.” Linus Tech Tips, a popular YouTube channel about consumer technology, had promoted Honey extensively through more than 160 videos totaling nearly 200 million combined views. But once it was made aware of the browser extension replacing its affiliate links, . It did not, however, publicize the issue, instead relaying its concerns to the broader creator community. “Imagine being the influencers who promoted Honey, telling your audience—who, by the way, are the most likely to use your affiliate links—to download an app that poaches your affiliate sales. It’s crazy,” MegaLag said. On top of taking affiliate-link revenue from influencers and not showing consumers the best discounts, the MegaLag says Honey has hurt businesses with unauthorized codes, which leads to merchants reporting losses from invalid or excessive discounts. This, oftentimes, leads to price increases in order to offset the loss in revenue. “Honey is helping businesses prevent consumers from finding the best deals while pretending to do the opposite,” MegaLag said. According to MegaLag, Honey has sponsored around 5,000 YouTube videos across more than 1,000 different channels, gaining over 7.8 billion views. You can watch MegaLag’s video in its entirety below.

Fort Worth-based unmanned airship technology firm receives key FAA certificationTIMMINS - A Northern Ontario healthcare leader has been recognized with a prestigious provincial award. Lynne Innes, president and CEO of the Weeneebayko Area Health Authority (WAHA), has received the 2024 Premier’s Award in the health sciences category. Innes, a graduate of Northern College’s nursing program, was selected from 18 nominees in her category. She accepted the award on Nov. 25 during a ceremony in Toronto. “It’s a really special and humbling feeling to be recognized for all the hard work that not only I participated in, but our entire team, to better the health of our region,” Innes told TimminsToday. The award includes a bursary in Innes’ name for health sciences students at Northern College. The inaugural bursary, funded with a $5,000 investment from Ontario Colleges, will be awarded in the New Year. Annual bursaries of $500 will follow and Innes will help create the criteria for recipients. The bursary will be part of the winter awards at Northern College. For those considering a career in healthcare, Innes said her journey is an example of how starting at a small, local college can lead to success. “Starting in Northern Ontario and being as accomplished as I am today, and knowing that that’s where I started, I think is something that can resonate with many people,” she said. “People don’t have to go to Harvard or McGill, they can go to Northern College and be just as successful and accomplished.” Innes hopes her award will inspire Indigenous advocates and frontline healthcare workers to drive positive change. “I hope my recognition from this award inspires any Indigenous advocate and frontline healthcare worker to think outside the box, to be innovative, to constantly put the pressure on, be resilient, and ensure we are working toward the betterment of our people who are the hardest to reach in this province,” she said. “Setting it up with the seven grandfather teachings, or seven sacred teachings, to always be kind, to always be humble and to do everything with love and compassion.” For those aspiring to make a difference in healthcare, Innes said education is key. “I think the most important thing that we can do as people is to continuously educate people about our history and a path forward, ensuring we are moving forward in a good way,” she said. “I’m very proud to have started my educational journey at Northern College, and very proud to be a northerner and still living and working in the north.” This marks the second consecutive year a Northern College alum has received the Premier’s Award, following Christina Kioke’s win in 2023.
