Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles said Wednesday she didn’t attend Larry Nassar’s sentencing because she didn’t think she was “emotionally ready for that.”
During interviews with the Today show and CNN, her first televised appearances related to Nassar’s sentencing, the decorated gymnast spoke out against the former USA Gymnastics physician.
Biles told CNN that she didn’t want to see Nassar at his sentencing because she needed “to be in a good place” in her gymnastics practice, especially since she plans to complete in the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. Read more…

Firefox Quantum is a great browser, but it has a security flaw.
A Cisco report published Tuesday and spotted by The Hacker News revealed a Mozilla Firefox vulnerability that could allow hackers to remotely mess with users’ computers.
Due to “insufficient sanitization of HMTL fragments in chrome-privileged documents,” hackers could execute malicious code in users’ systems by persuading the user to open a link or file. This could potentially allow hackers to install programs, change passwords, and compromise users’ data. Read more…

Jaguar brought a fleet of its electric vehicle prototypes to the Arctic in northern Sweden, and then proceeded to race them around the snow-blanketed flats.
This could be viewed as stunt — though a potentially useful stunt: It’s important to see how electric vehicles perform in extreme weather conditions. According to Jaguar, the company drove its forthcoming I-PACE SUV around its test facility at temperatures as low as -40 Celsius (which is also -40 Fahrenheit).
Cold temperatures can affect battery performance, which Tesla noted in a late 2017 software update allowing drivers to “preheat” their battery in cold environments. Tesla recommended this “preconditioning” to limit the loss of range and general performance. Read more…

Amazon and friends are getting hyped for the Super Bowl. The company released a hilarious Super Bowl ad on its YouTube channel on Wednesday.
The ad depicts a fictional scenario in which Alexa loses her voice. The company must scramble to find celebrities to replace her as the voice of the Amazon Echo, and hilarity ensues.
Jeff Bezos himself acts convincingly perplexed after hearing the news. We then see the company call upon an eclectic cast of characters.
Gordon Ramsay berates an amateur chef for the shortcomings of his grilled cheese sandwich, and Cardi B laughs about the lack of oxygen on Mars. Rebel Wilson makes a cute and cringey attempt to “set the mood” from a bubble bath, and Anthony Hopkins is generally creepy while feeding a peacock. Read more…

The Philadelphia Police Department announced it won’t grease up the city’s light poles for the Super Bowl, so Pornhub is offering them 110 gallons of lube.
Earlier this month, the city of Philadelphia decided to grease up some of the city’s light poles with Crisco in an attempt to thwart any unruly sports fans from climbing up and inevitably injuring themselves following the NFC Championship game.
Apparently, the Crisco didn’t work all that well — instead, it became a challenge for anyone daring to test their luck at the poles. Also, Crisco is flammable, so the whole thing posed a serious safety hazard. Read more…

We last saw Jessica Jones taking down the Hand in Marvel’s Defenders, but soon she’ll be back for another solo outing, hopefully as powerful and gripping as the last. Netflix released the first images and a few behind-the-scenes photos from Jessica Jones Season 2, and we just hope we can remain patient.
First of all, um, not to panic, but – Kilgrave. This is probably a flashback or something Jessica is imagining, which is perfectly reasonable given the history – but still terrifying.
Uh-oh.
