New York City [USA], Jan 4 (ANI): A software bug in the New York City parking meters has resulted in a mass malfunction, reminding the city of the two-decade-old Y2K bug which was predicted to cause computers across the globe to crash in 2000.
According to The New York Times, the glitch was causing parking meters in the city to reject credit cards and prepaid parking cards.
The cause was identified to be a delay in a software update by the vendor who developed the payment system which was configured to end on January 1, 2020.
The fix has been issued, however, city workers are reconfiguring the software meter by meter. (ANI)

Curapod review: The Future of at-home pain management?

The Curapod by Litemed operates on the principles of Photobiomodulation (PBM). To simplify, it utilizes a combination of red and near-infrared (NIR) light. These specific wavelengths are designed to penetrate up to 70mm into the tissue. Unlike a standard heat pack, which is commonly seen in almost every household and only provides surface-level relief, Curapod targets cellular activity and local blood flow to support the body's natural recovery process.
