We can all agree that robocalls are the worst. While there may never be a way to completely get rid of them (though the agencies are certainly working on it), one of the most prolific sources of these intrusions has finally come to justice.
CBS News reports that attorneys general from 48 states (plus the District of Columbia) are coming together to file a bipartisan lawsuit against Arizona-based Avid Telecom, its owner Michael D. Lansky, and Vice President Stacey S. Reeves. V 141 page suit claims that the company illegally made more than 7.5 billion calls to people on National Do Not Call Registry. Arizona Attorney General Chris Meyes claims that almost 197 million automated calls were made to phone numbers in her state in the five-year period from December 2018 to January 2023.
The lawsuit alleges that Avid Telecom spoofed phone numbers, including 8.4 million phone numbers that appeared to belong to the government or law enforcement, as well as other numbers disguised as those of Amazon, DirecTV and many others. The lawsuit alleges that Avid Telecom violated the Telecommunications and Consumer Protection Act, the Telemarketing Rule and a number of other telemarketing and consumer protection laws.
AG is asking the court to join Avid Telecom from making illegal calls by robots, as well as damages and restitution to people it called illegally. They also use several legal means to get Avid to cough up money for every infraction, which, given the sheer volume of calls made, can add up quickly. Sumco Panama, which accounted for comparatively less than 5 billion automated calls, was fined nearly $300 million by the FCC late last year.
Earlier this month was reported that the US Federal Trade Commission sued XCast Labs for allegedly helping other companies call those on the National Do Not Call Registry.
In 2017 Dish reached a settlement it cost them $210 million. The company allegedly made millions of calls trying to sell and promote its satellite TV service. Dish ultimately had to pay a civil penalty of $126 million to the US government and $84 million to residents of California, Illinois, North Carolina and Ohio. Hopefully we will see a similar result with Avid Telecom.
Honkai: StarRail’With The trailblazer is not just a one-time character. Like the Traveler in Genshin Impact, the Pathfinder can withstand a variety of weaknesses due to his ability to control more than one element. Each element also gives them the opportunity to play completely different roles depending on the team. Unfortunately, the Trailblazer also has a unique unlock method. Eidolons compared to other characters.
Eidolons are copies of characters that unlock additional abilities for each of them. For example, if you already have Dan Heng, but you draw it from the banner again, then this copy will give you an item that unlocks his first Eidolon (E1). You can unlock up to six Eidolons per character before Star Rail converts additional characters to another currency that can be spent in the in-game store.

The trailblazer is different. You can’t pull the Pathfinder from the banners, so their Eidolons are taken from various sources such as shops. This is even more difficult because the Pathfinder has more than one Path (the game’s equivalent of Combat Roles). The Pathfinder currently has twelve Eidolons (six for each available Path), but this number will increase in future updates.
At the same time, finding these Eidolons is more difficult than those dragging the banner. This is where you can find all current Pathfinder Eidolons.
Shadows destruction
Shadows of Destruction unlocks Eidolons for a Physical Pathfinder, a Destruction character who wields a Physical element. This is the first version of the trailblazer you encounter in the game’s prologue. Destroyer characters are known for their versatile abilities, which range from self-healing to flexibility between single and multi-target attacks.
You can preview the rewards for the pioneer level in the interior of the car in the Astral Express.

Rovio Entertainment has announced the release of the largest update Journey of Angry Birds received today. It aims to overhaul the existing game by replacing the usual level-by-level progression with a seasonal approach.
This means that instead of the usual home screen, you will see a brand new lobby image every month. However, the picture won’t be complete until you unlock Fragments by collecting Season Tokens, playing levels, and participating in events.
As you would expect from this type of setup, these pieces are assembled by working with a free seasonal track. Here you can also get various rewards. If you buy the Journey Pass, you can earn even more goodies on the premium track. In fact, the standard seasonal approach.
In addition to numerous rewards, purchasing the Journey Pass also unlocks the following:
golden avatar frame
An exclusive trolley that will be used throughout the season.
Extra lives
Gaia’s Vault
After completing the entire season pass, you will begin collecting coins in the Gaia Vault. For every 100 seasonal tokens, the same number of coins are added to the vault. When the season ends, it will open to Journey Pass holders.
In addition to introducing seasons, Rovio has made several changes to Angry Birds Journey. The team has rebuilt the first 300 levels and there are now three checkpoints in each stage. The first two are meant to be a little easier, while the third one offers a more difficult challenge by zooming out on the camera. This means there’s more room on screen for larger structures that will require some thought and good aiming to knock them over.
Angry Birds Journey is now available on the App Store and Google Play as a free to play game with in-app purchases. You can download it for your preferred platform from the links below.
