Eine Demo gegen Impfpflicht, die nicht stattfinden durfte
Eine sich als links verstehende Initiative wollte in Berlin auf die Straße gehen – nicht gegen Impfungen, sondern gegen direkten oder indirekten Zwang. Am Verbot gab es kaum Kritik

Routers won’t stop working, but most functions will be shut off.

If you're still using a Google OnHub router, Google wants you to know that you're nearing the end of the line. According to Android Police, the company has been emailing OnHub owners to let them know that support for the router is ending on December 19, 2022. The router will still function on a basic level after that date, but advanced services and router configuration will no longer be available through Google's apps, and you'll no longer receive security updates.
In the email it's sending to OnHub users, Google is also offering 40 percent discounts on Nest Wifi hardware for people who want to replace their OnHub with another Google router.
OnHub has always been a bit of an outlier in Google's hardware lineup; it shipped with mediocre performance and was never very flexible or configurable, and it was replaced with Google Wifi (now Nest Wifi) just a year after it launched. OnHub early adapters could always integrate the older router into their modern Google or Nest Wifi setups as a router or satellite, but that functionality will presumably go away when Google ends support a year from now.

Aircraft manufacturers claim 5G radio signals will interfere with altimeters.

Boeing and Airbus have asked US Department of Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg to delay the deployment of C-band spectrum for 5G wireless service. The companies claim the rollout will interfere with key aircraft instruments.
“5G interference could adversely affect the ability of aircraft to safely operate,” said the letter, which has been obtained by Reuters. Boeing CEO David Calhoun and Airbus Americas CEO Jeffery Knittel claim that the rollout, currently scheduled for January 5, could have “an enormous negative impact on the aviation industry.”
Both manufacturers and aviation regulators have expressed concerns over C-band 5G signals interfering with radio altimeters on commercial aircraft. The instruments work by beaming radio signals in the 4.2–4.4 GHz band toward the ground and listening for a reply. By measuring the time it takes for the signal to return to the sensor, the aircraft can calculate its height above the ground. Radio altimeters give pilots a more precise reading than barometric altimeters, which rely on air pressure.
President Biden outlined the federal government’s response to omicron’s ascendancy.

In an address to the nation today, President Joe Biden outlined his administration's plans to battle the omicron variant. The federal government plans to purchase 500 million rapid COVID-19 test kits for home use, set up new testing sites, and mobilize 1,000 military medical personnel to pitch in at hospitals slammed by the surge in COVID-19 cases.
"I want to start by acknowledging how tired, worried and frustrated many of you are," Biden said at the onset of his remarks.
Biden then encouraged vaccine holdouts to take action as omicron spreads across the country. "If you're not fully vaccinated, you have good reason to be concerned." He additionally called on folks who have not received boosters to schedule them.
