The 27-year-old app is now included in the BlackBerry phones, telephone modems and Palm Pilots in the dustbin of the history of technology. IE’s death was no surprise. A year ago, Microsoft said it was ending Internet Explorer on June 15, 2022, pushing users to the Edge browser, which was released in 2015....

But how much does it really tell us?...

California Republican Zoe Lofgren, a member of the committee, told reporters that the reason for the rescheduling was due to “technical problems” and “not a big deal.” “These are just technical issues,” he said. “You know the staff, who put together all the videos. You know what you did, one, two, three, it was overwhelming. So we’re trying to give them some space.” Lofgren said the issue of Wednesday’s hearing, which focused on the Justice Department, would be moved to another day and that Thursday would continue to focus on then-President Donald Trump’s efforts to pressure then-Vice President Mike Pence to refuse to comment....

“At a time of war – historically high refinery profit margins being passed directly onto American families are not acceptable,” the president said in a letter to oil companies including Exxon Mobil and Chevron. “[C]ompanies must take immediate actions to increase the supply of gasoline, diesel, and other refined product,” the letter added.

The national average for a gallon of gas crossed $5 over the weekend for the first time on record, according to AAA....
