Amazon said Sidewalk uses WiFi from neighbors to create "a shared network that helps devices work better," but some raised privacy concerns. Amazon users are being automatically opted into Sidewalk, a feature that will connect Alexa devices to nearby WiFi networks, even those owned by someone else. It allows nearby devices to use a portion of a neighbor's WiFi bandwidth, so that devices can have more range.
San Francisco, Apr 15 (EFE).- Amazon.com Inc.'s sales volume has jumped and its share price has climbed to record levels as traditional brick-and-mortar retailers struggle to stay afloat amid coronavirus-triggered lockdowns, but the e-commerce and technology giant also is facing a public relations backlash amid criticism about its workplace safety measures during the pandemic.
Venice (Italy), Apr 8 (EFE), (Camera: Avedis Hadjian).- Venice canals run clear and the most touristic spots in the city are emptier than ever after the floods hit the historic centre in November and, more recently, the coronavirus pandemic has forced locals to stay at home. FOOTAGE OF THE CITY OF VENICE. SOUNDBITES OF:1.-Store owner: “When I was a boy, 40 years ago, Venice was beautiful. It was full of people, full of business, there were no supermarkets. There was tourism and there were also Venetians."2.-Anna Lazaris, retired: "Venetians can't live (like this), those who do not have a little economic opportunity have all moved to Mestre and in Venice only those little fortunate people can stay."3.- Sandro Franchini, Veneto Institute of Science, Literature and Arts: “The last days, the desert the city have become into reminded me of the winter months when I was a kid and Venice was practically deserted. The fact is that conditions have drastically changed since there are actually 100,000 residents missing here."4.- Antonella Baretton, accountant: “For me, after this emergency that we hope it ends (soon), the city must rethink this, which is its way of being. Sacrifices must be made and the city must be conceived not only and exclusively as a hotel with a single purpose."5.- Antonella Baretton: “Here, the tourism monoculture must end, I hope it does. Otherwise, this is the best example: what do you see? A city that, in fact, no longer has residents these days."6.- Sandro Franchini: “It is a great lesson not only for Venice but for everyone, it is a situation that is taking place on a global level. For us, here at home, we should think about reversing some choices we made some years ago."
Venice (Italy), 12 Feb, EFE.- Venice has seen how tourism has declined lately due to fears of floods and the coronavirus, but it is determined to remain a city that can be visited while facing a future threatened by depopulation and climate change.
