Taylor Swift wants you to stop following her private jet

Taylor Swift wants you to stop following her private jet, but more precisely a certain student in Florida.

Taylor Swift’s legal team sent an injunction to Jack Sweeney, a Florida University student known for monitoring the movements of celebrities’ private jets on social networks.

Sweeney, the same man who previously tracked Elon Musk’s private jet, uses public data from the Federal Aviation Administration. He posts real-time information on flights, their environmental impact, and other relevant topics, attracting media attention.

Swift’s lawyers have asserted that Sweeney’s reports cause Swift direct and irreparable harm, emotional distress and physical discomfort, as well as constant fear for her safety.

Sweeney’s action is seen from different angles. For some, it raises awareness of the environmental impact of celebrity jet use, a particularly poignant point in the context of the global climate crisis. According to a study conducted by a marketing company, Taylor Swift would be the celebrity who would emit the most greenhouse gases by private jet in 2022.

Her representatives denied this claim, saying that her jet was often on loan.

Privacy and security are also of concern. Swift’s experience of stalkers visiting her home has heightened concerns about real-time data sharing. A Swift spokeswoman commented on the implications of aircraft tracking. She suggested a correlation between Sweeney’s messages and incidents of harassment.

Sweeney defends himself by claiming that his actions no more violate privacy than any other public event or schedule indicating that a celebrity is in the area, such as a sports event or tour schedule.

This debate touches on the right to privacy, freedom of information and environmental responsibility. Swift’s lawyers argue that tracking their client is a matter of life and death, while Sweeney’s legal representatives consider it an important issue of transparency.

The same debate raged in relation to Elon Musk several months ago.

The Office is no longer the most streamed show

Suits broke records in 2023 and became the most streamed TV show, beating out a true phenomenon, namely The Office.

Suits, which first aired from 2011 to 2019 on USA Network, overtook previous record-holder The Office, which reached 57.1 billion streaming minutes in 2020.

The legal series starring, among others, a certain Meghan Markle, in fact recorded no less than 57.7 billion minutes of streaming in 2023!

The success of the series can be explained by the massive growth it experienced following its first broadcast on Netflix in July.

USA Network Media

In fact, Netflix reported in January 2023 that licensed content now accounted for 45% of its audience, a testament to the enduring appeal of franchises like Suits.

USA Network Media

The Suits effect, as some are calling it, is a phenomenon that not only sparks debate about evolving content strategy tactics, but also sets the bar high for measuring the impact of licensed shows in the highly competitive streaming market.

This dominance may indicate that the appetite for familiar, binge-worthy content is stronger than ever in the digital age.

Let’s bet, however, that this news will annoy the most loyal fans of The Office!

First human implanted by Neuralink, says Elon Musk

Neuralink has announced that it has implanted one of its products in a human patient for the first time, NBC reports.

According to reports, the patient recovered well from the procedure. The company hopes that this operation will revolutionize the treatment of neurological disorders and paralysis.

The FDA approved Neuralink in May 2023. This trial evaluates the functionality and safety of the implant using a robotic surgical system. The PRIME study involves surgically implanting ultra-thin brain signal transmission wires into the area of the brain associated with movement. Neuralink believes that this technology could enable individuals to use digital devices such as cursors and keyboards… simply by thinking about them.

Musk announced that his company’s first product would be Telepathy, which aims to control electronic devices simply by thinking. Musk explained that the first device was intended to help people who have lost the function of a limb.

Neuralink’s journey has not been without controversy. In December 2022, Reuters reported that around 1,500 animals had died during testing.

However, no violations were discovered during an investigation by the US Department of Agriculture.

The regulatory environment will come under increasing scrutiny as the field of brain-computer interfaces progresses. The FDA published its preliminary opinion on brain-computer interfaces in 2021. It noted the rapid progress made by the industry.

The technological and scientific community, as well as the patients who will benefit most from this technology, are closely monitoring trials and developments.

Microgaming Honours Deadmau5 with a Slot Machine

Microgaming, the pioneer of online casinos, and Deadmau5, the most renowned electronic music producer from Canada, partnered in one of their biggest projects yet! Their collaboration resulted in a high-volatility video slot with EDM background instrumentals and laser light shows. The slot machine is designed to not only charm Deadmau5 fans but also enable the software vendor to stretch its fanbase to the EDM market, one of the fastest-growing music genres on the planet. Read on to learn more about Deadmau5 and the dedicated slot machine.

Who is Deadmau5?

Joel Thomas Zimmerman, popularly known as Deadmau5, is one of the most recognized electronic music producers and DJs. The DJ is also the founder of mau5trap, a music label he launched in 2007, intending to expand his music empire. Due to his contribution to the music industry, Deadmau5 has received six Grammy Award nominations, including one for Best Dance Recording for his project Raise Your Weapon, in which he featured Greta Svabo Bech. His influence in the electronic dance music genre is unfathomable, making him one of the highest-paid EDM DJs in Canada and the world. Since he started his career, Deadmau5 has also made multiple video game appearances. For example, he is a playable avatar in the 2010 video game DJ Hero 2. He is also in the Goat Simulator video game and the game PeterPalooza. Deadmau5 recently made a debut in the iGaming scene after Microgaming developed a slot machine named after him. This makes Deadmau5 one of the few music artists and celebrities to have casino games.

The Deadmau5’s Branded Online Casino Slot by Microgaming

Deadmau5 is one of the most creatively designed video slots that features a 5×3 setup and an RTP of 95.22%, and maybe the most popular game choice noted at Canadian online casinos. In addition, the game comes with 243 paylines and can be played with a minimum coin value of 0.20. The branded slot is uniquely designed with exciting themes and interactive features that immerse online casino gamers in a new world of EDM. To bring the EDM vibe to life, the game developer added laser light shows and a couple of songs by Deadmau5, including the popular Monophobia and 4Ware. Furthermore, they included a Wild symbol which the Deadmau5 mask represents. The wild replaces all the symbols except the Deadmau5 mask with an agitated grin scatter symbol. On the other hand, five or more scatter symbols on paylines can multiply your stake by 250x.

Other high-value symbols include four women continuously dancing along to the music. If you align 5 of the highest paying women symbols on a payline, you receive 10x your stake. Other icons include Diamonds, Spades, Hearts, and Clubs. Besides, pay attention to the Drop Wild feature, which transforms reels 4, 3, and 2 into a fully wild reel. The maximum win you can enjoy from the slot is 2,100x your stake making it one of the most enticing video slots. Deadmau5 is one of the most notable slots that will see you enjoy rolling reels, a function in all phases. Luckily players can enjoy this slot at the best CA online casino sites, and if you are not sure which casinos fall under this category, you can always rely on Top10Casinos.ca opinion. If you are a music-themed slots fan, you’ll discover many other popular slots by Microgaming, like Guns N’ Roses, Motorhead, DJ Wild, Karaoke Party, Megadeth, Jimi Hendrix, and many others. Microgaming never fails to deliver top-notch game content, and the Deadmau5 slot is just one of the limitless choices.

The Partnership Between Microgaming and Deadmau5

Besides his unmatched skills in the studio and behind the deck, Deadmau5 is an avid player who occasionally frequents the top casinos in Canada. This combination saw him land one of the biggest deals with Microgaming, a software-developing company founded in 1994. The partnership resulted in the development of the Deadmau5 slot machine, which launched on 11th November 2020. This game cements the legacy of Deadmau5 as one of the best EDM artists and the most accomplished DJ. Thanks to this collaboration, EDM fans can finally relate to the virtual gaming world in a fashionable way. You should note that this did not happen overnight. It took multiple meetings, thousands of design hours, and development to develop such an amazing slot machine.

Other Notable Collaborations by Deadmau5

Since his rise to fame, Deadmau5 has become one of the most prominent figures in Canada. It is why his separation from his wife, Kelly Zimmerman, was among the most popular celebrity breakups in the tabloids. Apart from that, Deadmau5 has remained consistent with his career, enabling him to bag various endorsements and collaborations.

For instance, in 2021, Deadmau5 partnered with Mintbase to launch an NFT collection. Mintbase is a popular NFT marketplace known for running on a carbon-neutral NEAR blockchain. The collaboration saw his song “This is Fine” released on the platform. Also, Deadmau5 recently worked with Fintech Zytara to launch a branded online banking solution. The partnership enables Deadmau5’s fans to interact with the artist’s brand through the Zytara mobile application. According to the CEO of Zytara, the deal was more than a usual partnership as the collaboration aimed to help with Zytara’s creative direction. Finally, Deadmau5 partnered with Coco Vodka in mid-2022. The alliance will allow fans to purchase cans of the drink at different Deadmau5 events. This marked the entertainer’s first partnership with an alcoholic drink.

Final thoughts

Deadmau5 is by far one of the most recognized EDM artists and Disk Jockey who has managed to grow his brand beyond the borders of Canada. The DJ’s passion and consistency have seen him partner with some of the world’s biggest brands, including Microgaming, to create his slot machine. Deadmau5’s video slot is entertaining, has fantastic themes and graphics, and is among the top 10 Canadian casino games. Furthermore, it comes with a maximum payout of 2,100x your wager, making it very entertaining. Finally, it features captivating EDM background instrumentals sourced from Deadmau5’s music collection.
