City Council delays vote on police dash-cam contract - Austin Monitor

Wednesday, March 29, 2023 by Emma Freer
City Council voted unanimously to postpone voting on a three-year, $3.8 million contract to update the Austin Police Department's fleet of dashboard cameras, citing concerns about the vendor's built-in automated license plate reader, or ALPR, technology."There's lots of things we do that have some risk, and there's some risk in this (delay), but it's not an unacceptable risk," interim City Manager Jesús Garza said ahead of the vote during a Council meeting last Thursday.

Motorola Edge 40 review

Introduction
The Motorola Edge lineup has seen some restructuring this year, with the Pro punching slightly above last year's model and aspiring for some Ultra-ness.The vanilla Edge 40 joins it on this upward trend in some ways, possibly making it more difficult for a 30 Fusion successor to find a spot in the ranks in the Fall, though it's not all upgrades.

An unsung hero against the Sixers, Al Horford's defensive fortitude will be key for a deep Celtics playoff run

Celtics "I was just out there trying to fight for my life and trying to make an impact."The shots weren't falling for Al Horford.Not up to the high standards he set for himself, at least.Despite sinking five of his seven attempts beyond the arc in Game 3 against the 76ers, the sharpshooting big man struggled to carry that momentum through the rest of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
