SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea canceled its planned launch Wednesday of its first commercial-grade satellite due to a technical issue, days after rival North Korea reaffirmed its push to place its first military spy satellite into orbit.The cancellation was announced about two hours before South Korea’s homegrown Nuri space launch vehicle carrying eight satellites — including the main, commercial-grade one — was scheduled to lift off from a southern launch facility.Oh Tae-seok, the first vice-minister of science, told a televised news conference a communication anomaly between the launch control computer and the launch pad control computer was found during the launch preparation process. He said South Korea will consider rescheduling the launch as soon as Thursday, if authorities fix the technical problem early.South Korea’s satellite launch plan has been closely watched by outsiders.

Netflix begins password sharing crackdown in the US

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 12:36:04 GMT

(CNN) — Netflix is officially beginning its crackdown on users who share passwords in the United States.The streaming video company on Tuesday said it is now sending out emails to all US subscribers who share passwords with people outside their household, as part of a long planned move to limit password sharing.“Your Netflix account is for you and the people you live with — your household,” the email reads, along with options on how to share the account.To share an account with someone outside a household, a user can transfer a profile to a new membership that they pay for or else add an extra member to their account for an additional $7.99 monthly fee.Netflix previously turned a blind eye to password sharing because it was fueling growth. However, last year it said that it was going to crack down on password sharing because it hurts its bottom line. It has previously estimated that more than 100 million households worldwide share an account.The company started to clamp down on pass...

Unsettled Pattern Continues

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 12:36:04 GMT

The unsettled pattern continues for South Florida through the end of the week due to a low over Central Florida and a stalled out front across Northern Florida. Therefore, scattered showers and storms are possible late this morning and will become more numerous this afternoon and evening. A few strong to severe storms are possible, with damaging wind gusts and hail being the primary threats. Heavy rainfall in some areas could also lead street flooding, in spots. Heading into the long weekend, changes will take place and models are showing it is likely going to be nicer. As low pressure pulls away off the Florida East coast and front slides South through the region, drier air builds in. This will would make for a Summer-like weekend with a passing shower on the breeze early followed by afternoon isolated inland storms. Have a wonderful day South Florida and make it a safe one!

Qatargate MEP returns to work

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 12:36:04 GMT

BRUSSELS — He’s back.Three months after being arrested by Belgian police as part of the ongoing investigation into corruption allegations that rocked the European Parliament, EU lawmaker Marc Tarabella was spotted back at work on Wednesday.He attended a fisheries committee meeting in the morning and was spied grabbing a drink in the Parliament’s third-floor café in Brussels.A staffer who saw Tarabella said “he looked rather drained but was sitting with someone, so he is clearly not as alone and untouchable as Kaili” — a reference to Eva Kaili, one of the other lawmakers still under detention.Tarabella was able to move freely to work on Wednesday because he had his electronic ankle bracelet removed two weeks ago — although certain restrictions remain. The two other current MEPs involved in the so-called Qatargate probe — Kaili and Italian Andrea Cozzolino — have also been clamoring to return to work but cannot do so as they are still under house arrest.Tara...

Late Showers/Storms

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 12:36:04 GMT

While the focus will be on the warm-up this afternoon and the risk for some late-day showers and storms, it is no doubt a chilly start this morning for many. In fact, for large swaths of Southeast Mass, temps started off on the record low side for May 24th, with a morning low of 30 across the Vineyard, 38 Nantucket, 35, Provincetown and many other locations in the mid to upper 30s. Boston, points northwest, no record cold was recorded, but it certainly was a sweatshirt/light jacket worthy weather with temps in the 40s. The bounce back is quick today with a south to southeasterly breeze kicking in. Highs today will range from the 60s across the North Shore/Cape Ann/Cape Cod to near 70 in Boston and 75-80 inland. Showers and storm rumble through late today into this evening. The timing of them favor the 4-6pm timeframe northwest of 495 and inside 495 from 6-9pm. That’ll leave most of the daylight hours dry for many of us, but showers could interrupt those little league games lat...
