Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:26:22 GMT

PARIS (AP) — A French government watchdog agency ordered Apple to withdraw the iPhone 12 from the market, saying it emits levels of electromagnetic radiation that are too high.The National Frequency Agency, which oversees radio-electric frequencies as well as public exposure electromagnetic radiation, called on Apple in a statement Tuesday to “implement all available means to rapidly fix this malfunction.” Corrective updates to the iPhone 12 will be monitored by the agency, according to the statement and if they don’t work, “Apple will have to recall” phones that were already sold, it said.The agency, which is known by the French acronym ANFR, said it recently checked 141 cellphones, including the Apple iPhone 12, for electromagnetic waves capable of being absorbed by the human body.It said it found a level of electromagnetic energy absorption of 5.74 watts per kilogram during tests of a phone in a hand or a pocket, higher than the European Union standard of 4.0 watts per kilo...

Prince George’s Co. Council debates after members reject virtual voting: ‘It is very clearly personal’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:26:22 GMT

The pandemic has brought about lots of changes in the ways we live and work, with more and more jobs allowing for remote work than before. In some cases, employers can find it hard to attract talent by having a rigid “no virtual work” policy.That’s not the case in electoral politics. And with the declared pandemic emergency officially over, there’s no virtual work — at least, official work — that can be done by the Prince George’s County Council.Attendance at council and committee meetings must be in-person, as do all recorded votes. An effort to change that policy failed on a 5-5 vote as the full council met in what’s known as the Committee of the Whole. Even though the sixth vote, Council member Jolene Ivey, was out sick, the measure would have needed eight of 11 votes to ultimately pass in the future.While a couple of Council members who supported the change brought up COVID-19 and the impact it could have if one of their colleagues had to quarantine, it became pretty obvio...

Kaja Kallas blasts ‘witch hunt’ probe into husband’s Russia business ties

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:26:22 GMT

Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas on Wednesday blamed the opposition for orchestrating an attack over her husband’s business ties to Russia.“This is a witch-hunt by the opposition,” Kallas told the Guardian. “It is an excuse to waste time in parliament and obstruct our progressive agenda.”Kallas, who emerged as one of Ukraine’s staunchest supporters in the European Union, has been under fire since Estonian media revealed in August that her husband, Arvo Hallik, owned a stake in a logistics company that continued doing business in Russia even after Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began.The prime minister — who won reelection in March and is now at the helm of a new coalition composed of her center-right Estonian Reform Party, the centrist Estonia 200 Party and the Social Democratic Party — has denied prior knowledge of her husband’s company’s link to Russia, and refuses to resign. But Kallas is still facing pressure from...

Return of ‘John Means Day’ offers reminder of how far Orioles have come | ANALYSIS

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:26:22 GMT

During the Orioles’ rebuild, “John Means Day” came to be in recognition of the only games where fans actually felt Baltimore could win. Tuesday night, the first such celebration in almost 17 months, instead offered an occasion to recognize how much has changed in that time.In his first start since April 13, 2022, Means — the 30-year-old left-hander who was comfortably the Orioles’ top starter during their lean seasons — allowed three runs over five innings in his long-awaited return from Tommy John elbow reconstruction. Although the performance came in a series-tying loss to the St. Louis Cardinals, such outcomes have become uncommon for Baltimore, rather than expected.“I don’t really believe in moral victories, to be honest with you,” Means said after his outing. “I wanted to get the win today. … But it is fun to play for a winning club and be in this clubhouse and be a part of this team.”Last season, having ma...
