Posts claiming that “human meat” is being grown in the UK and sold in supermarkets have been shared thousands of times on social media. 

The videos, which feature clips edited together and include commentary from creators based outside of the UK, all show a programme hosted by television presenter Gregg Wallace in which he appears to visit a factory producing “six tonnes” of “human meat” each day. 

It is claimed in the footage that the man-made protein is produced using “human cells” by a company called Good Harvest, and is being sold in supermarkets as a cheaper alternative to real animal products. 

The clips appear to have been shared as though they are real, with social media creators expressing their disbelief at the contents of the programme. In…

Over 80,000 displaced Ukrainians have arrived in Ireland since the war started. In the midst of a wider housing crisis, the state has run out of emergency accommodation for new arrivals.

Over 1,100 Ukrainians are living with hosts in Cork and many more are still in need of accommodation. Now Helping Irish Hosts is appealing to Cork residents to come forward to offer a room in their home or a self-contained property, with a nationwide roadshow visiting Midleton this week to answer any questions locals might have about hosting.

The event, happening in Midleton Family Resource Centre on Wednesday, June 21st at 7pm, invites current hosts and anyone interested in hosting to get together for an evening of celebration and information-sharing on what it’s like to host displaced Ukrainians and…

A video with over 44,000 views on TikTok appears to show large cages and claims they are “human prison cages” that local police had promised “would be destroyed by October of 2020” yet were still there in July 2021. The video is also being shared on Facebook.

The video features two sets of videos, apparently of the same cages. In the first part, the person filming is driving past the cages and someone can be heard saying the cages have toilets in them.

This footage first appeared in 2020, and false claims that the cages were “being used to hold human trafficking victims captive” was fact checked by Reuters at the time.

The Fresno County Sheriff’s Office posted on Facebook in August 2020 saying it had received multiple calls about the cages stored outdoors…

OVH is a French web hosting and telecommunications provider which offers dedicated servers, shared hosting, domain registration, VPS and Cloud Computing services, having its own fiber optic network, which makes it one of the largest server installations in the world. Given its scope, OVH serves thousands of websites across Europe.

There are not 2 without 3

Last 2017, OVH had a generalized failure that affected practically all of Europe, particularly affecting the Western part – the left part of the map, where Spain is included. The official explanation pointed to a power outage in the main room where the routing process is managed. Without energy there is no process, and therefore the connections do not go.

At this point, and taking into account the huge network that OVH covers,…

Human design is a new concept that can aid more innovative, responsible HCI (Human Computer Interaction) building. This type of design requires addressing the comprehensive needs of human beings instead of focusing merely on technical needs.

These days, virtually the entire public demands user-friendly technology for working, playing, shopping and living. For quite a few years now, app developers have been debating the best way to execute user experience design (UED). However, forward-thinking designers are routinely talking about human design instead. The term UED is increasingly seen as a limited, mechanistic term that can leave out a lot of complexity. If you embrace human design (HD), you may have an easier time promoting your flagship HCI over competing systems.
