Prime Day soon became a version of "Black Friday in July" for Amazon, allowing the retailer to have a branded 48-hour shopping extravaganza that occurs during an otherwise sleepy retail season. Unlike Black Friday, however, the Prime Day branding lets Amazon differentiate the summer sale from competitors and upsell Prime memberships and Amazon-branded hardware like Echo speakers and Fire tablets, which encourage customers to stay in the Amazon ecosystem.

Nemeth, 30, posted seven points (two goals, five assists) in 63 games with the Rangers in 2021-22. He has 65 points (10 goals, 55 assists) in 429 games with the Dallas Stars, Colorado Avalanche, Detroit Red Wings and Rangers.

Jul 13 (Stats Perform) - Results from the MLB games on Wednesday (home team in CAPS) Seattle 6 WASHINGTON 4 SEA 3 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 1 - 6 WAS 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 3 - 4 NY Mets 7 ATLANTA 3 NYM 0 1 3 0 0 1 2 0 0 - 7 ATL 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 1 - 3 MINNESOTA 4 Milwaukee 1 MIL 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 1 MIN 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 - 4 KANSAS CITY 5 Detroit 2 DET 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 - 2 KC 0 0 0 4 1 0 0 0 X - 5 SAN FRANCISCO 4 Arizona 3 ARI 0 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 - 3 SF 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 1 1 - 4

Emberson, 22, was a third-round selection by Arizona in 2018.
The defenseman had 11 points (four goals, seven assists) in 58 games last season with the Tucson Roadrunners of the American Hockey League.

Last year, Apple took it a step further, asking if people wanted to stop companies from tracking them across websites and apps, a feature Apple calls App Tracking Transparency. Research surveys suggest nearly all people answer that they don't want to be tracked, a move that Facebook owner Meta said has meaningfully hurt its finances, costing as much as $10 billion in lost sales this year. "It's a substantial headwind to work our way through," Meta CFO David Wehner said in February.

Accordingly, Apple offers security features by default across the board to all its users. When people download Facebook for the first time and start using it on their phone, they're quickly greeted with popups asking whether they want to give the app access to their microphone or camera.

Apple itself said last week that it's tracked targeted hacking efforts toward people in nearly 150 countries over the past eight months. Apple has already begun a program of warning people when they may be targeted. When Lockdown Mode is released in the fall, cybersecurity experts say, it'll represent an escalation on Apple's part, particularly because the feature will be available to anyone who wants to turn it on.

In just the last week, the FBI and Britain's MI5 intelligence organization took the rare step of issuing a joint warning of the "immense" threat Chinese spies pose to "our economic and national security," and that its hacking program is "bigger than that of every other major country combined." Other government agencies have made similar warnings about hacking from other adversaries, including Russia, which the US Office of the Director of National Intelligence said in 2017 has targeted think tanks and lobbying groups in addition to the government and political parties.

"Make no mistake about it, Lockdown Mode will be a major blow," said Ron Deibert, a professor of political science and director #FreeFireNewUpdate of the Citizen Lab for cybersecurity researchers at the University of Toronto.

After starting his senior career with Liverpool, Sterling moved to City in July 2015 and established himself as a regular in the Manchester club's frontline, netting 131 times in 339 games for Pep Guardiola's side.

Of the people using its roughly 2 billion active devices around the world, Apple said few would actually need to turn the feature on. But cybersecurity experts say these types of extreme measures may need to become more commonplace as governments around the world broaden who they target while stepping up their frequency of attacks.

However, he fell down the pecking order last season, playing only a limited role in City's run to the league title and the Champions League semi-final, with Guardiola often preferring Phil Foden or Jack Grealish on the left side of attack.

Future security Lockdown Mode may be one of Apple's most significant security moves to date, but the company still has more it needs to do. Craig Federighi, #Top1FreeFire Apple SVP and head of software, testified to a courtroom last year that his company's Mac computers face a "significantly larger malware problem" than its iPhones, iPads and other devices.

"Apple is ultimately making it as easy as possible to make choices about security and privacy," said Jeff Pollard, #genxgaming a Forrester analyst who focuses on cybersecurity and risk. Pollard said this approach offers an opportunity for Apple to test the waters between usability and security, while following through on its promise to continually improve on Lockdown Mode over time. "We have to make it easier to do, so our adversaries have to try harder."

"Privacy means people know what they're signing up for, in plain English, and repeatedly," Jobs said. "Ask them. Ask them every time. Make them tell you to stop asking them if they get tired of your asking them. Let them know precisely what you're going to do."

That's why many cybersecurity experts took notice of Apple's Lockdown Mode when it was unveiled last Wednesday. The feature is designed to activate "extreme" protections for the company's iPhones, iPads and Mac computers. Among them, Apple's Lockdown Mode blocks link previews in the messages app, turns off potentially hackable web browsing technologies, and halts any incoming FaceTime calls from unknown numbers. Apple's devices also won't accept accessory connections unless the device is unlocked. (Here's how to use Apple's Lockdown mode on an iPhone.)
