„Nou je het zegt…” Verbaasd kijkt een voorbijganger op Plein 1945 naar het gaatje in de grond, pal voor het gemeentehuis in IJmuiden.

Sinds begin oktober dook al op twaalf plekken in Nederland vogelgriep op. Tienduizenden dieren zijn sindsdien geruimd. Vier vragen.

Het Internationaal Energieagentschap ging eerder uit van een daling van de olieconsumptie wereldwijd na 2030. Nu presenteert het een scenario waarin die peak oil nog lang niet in zicht is.

Donderdag stemt het Europees Parlement opnieuw over de ‘antiwegkijkwet’, die bedrijven moet verplichten misstanden in de toeleveringsketen aan te pakken. De wet is een van de meest gepolitiseerde dossiers in Brussel. „Dit is pure vernietiging, aangemoedigd door radicaal-rechts.”

After acquiring software virtualization company Cameyo last year, Google has relaunched a version of the service that makes it easier for Windows-based organizations to migrate over to ChromeOS. From a report: Now called "Cameyo by Google," the Virtual App Delivery (VAD) solution allows users to run legacy Windows apps in the Chrome browser or as web apps, preventing organizations from being tied to Microsoft's operating system. Google says the new Cameyo experience is more efficient than switching between separate virtual desktop environments, allowing users to stream the specific apps they need instead of virtualizing the entire desktop. That allows Windows-based programs like Excel and AutoCAD to run side-by-side with Chrome and other web apps, giving businesses the flexibility to use a mix of Microsoft and Google services.

Amazon is rolling out a tougher approach to combat illegal streaming, with the United States-based tech company aiming to block apps loaded onto all its Fire TV Stick devices that are identified as providing pirated content. From a report: Exclusive data provided to The Athletic from researchers YouGov Sport highlighted that approximately 4.7 million UK adults watched illegal streams in the UK over the past six months, with 31% using Fire Stick (this has become a catch-all term for plug-in devices, even if not made by Amazon) and other IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) devices. It is now the second-most popular method behind websites (42%).

Amazon launched a new Fire TV Stick last month -- the 4K Select, which is plugged into a TV to facilitate streaming via the internet -- that it insists will be less of a breeding ground for piracy. It comprises enhanced security measures -- via a new Vega operating system -- and only apps available in Amazon's app store will be available for customers to download. Amazon insists the clampdown will apply to the new and old devices, but registered developers will still be able to use Fire Sticks for legitimate purposes.
