By the numbers: What we know about Bezos' wedding in Venice

It's likely the most expensive wedding this year. Though details of the wedding between Amazon multi-billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez are sketchy, it's certainly causing a storm, not least in Venice, where they're set to tie the knot this weekend. Here's a guide by the numbers: ___ 228 Billion, that is. That's the net worth of Jeff Bezos, according to real-time data from Forbes, making him the third-richest person in the world behind tech bros Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. Not bad, considering that he founded Amazon out of his garage in Seattle in 1994, with not much more than a desk, a fax machine and a long orange extension cord that was needed to supply the room with additional power. From its origins as an online bookstore, Amazon's tentacles are now felt all around the world. If you want anything, it'll likely be for sale there. Amazon also now produces movies, runs the Whole Foods grocery chain and has become the leader in voice-activated speakers. Bezos stepped down as CEO of Amazon in early 2021, citing the desire to devote more time to philanthropy and other projects, including The Washington Post, the newspaper he bought in 2013 and his rocket company, Blue Origin. But Bezos still has broad influence over Amazon as executive chair and the company's biggest shareholder, though his stake has diminished over the years to under 10%. 2 This is the second time that Bezos — and Sanchez — will be walking down the aisle. Bezos, 61, was married to MacKenzie Bezos for 25 years until their divorce in April 2019. TV anchor Sanchez, 55, also divorced her first husband of 14 years, talent agent Patrick Whitesell, in 2019. The divorce came at a high price for Jeff Bezos. Only the divorce of Bill Gates and Melinda Gates has been more expensive. As part of the settlement, MacKenzie, who has taken her middle name Scott as her new surname, received 25% of Bezos' stake in Amazon. According to Forbes, she is worth a cool $30 billion, easily placing her in the world's top 100. 2,456 According to travel website Kayak, that's the euro price ($2,850) for the next available room at the Aman Venice, the hotel where the couple are believed to be staying during their three-day wedding extravaganza. The hotel is a grand spectacle in a city of spectacles. Like Venice itself, the hotel blends mystery and grandeur, opulence and solitude. The rooms are decorated with works by a number of Italy's greatest artists, including 16th-century architect Sansovino and 18th-century painter Tiepolo. Given his wealth, Bezos would be expected to reside in one of the suites. The 97 square-meter (1,044 square feet) Grand Canal Suite would surely meet the moment. According to the hotel, it 'beguiles with views of the Grand Canal and an abundance of light.' Or how about the Alcova Tiepolo Suite? It is slightly bigger at 103 square meters (1108 square feet), which allows guests the opportunity to stay among 18th-century frescoes by Tiepolo. 48,283 Or thereabouts. That's the approximate population of Venice's historic center, which is composed of over 100 islands connected by footbridges and traversed by its famed canals. And it's clear not everyone is thrilled by the arrival of Bezos, his wife-to-be and their 200 or so guests, which it seems will include Mick Jagger, Ivanka Trump, Oprah Winfrey, Katy Perry and Leonardo DiCaprio, to name just a few. And it doesn't seem as though the protesters will stay silent. About a dozen Venetian organizations, including housing advocates, anti-cruise ship campaigners and university groups, have united to protest the multi-day event under the banner 'No Space for Bezos,' a play on words that refers to Sanchez's recent space flight. To many Venetians, the city has lost its charms over the decades, with mass tourism making it an increasingly difficult and expensive place to live, particularly in the summer. To many, Venice has become the ground zero of overtourism, not least when massive cruise liners deposit their cargo of thousands of passengers for a few hours of sightseeing. The locals are often outnumbered by tourists. 90 That's the number of wedding-related private jets that are expected to land at Treviso and Venice airports. Veneto Gov. Luca Zaia reckons the Bezos wedding is all worth it and will generate around $50 million for the city and a celebrity quotient that would 'bring visibility and promotion' to Venice worth more than five American Super Bowls.

Chrome is cutting off support for these old Android phones in August

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority TL;DR The current Chrome version is the last version to support Android 8.0 and 9.0. Chrome 139, launching August 5, will require Android 10 or newer. Phones like the Galaxy S8 and Note 8 will miss out. Are you still rocking an ancient Android phone? Google has announced that Chrome 138 will be the final version of the browser to support Android 8.0 (Oreo) and 9.0 (Pie). Starting with Chrome 139, which is scheduled for release on August 5, users will need Android 10 or newer to receive updates. The news was shared in a post on the official Google Chrome Help forum, where a support manager confirmed that while older versions of Chrome will still function, they won't receive any new features or security patches. That puts users of some aging Android phones in a tricky spot. That includes phones like the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus, which launched on Android 7 and ended their software support on Android 9. The same goes for the Galaxy Note 8, another once-popular device that didn't make the jump to Android 10. Anyone still using an older midrange model from Motorola or OnePlus could also be left behind, but even the original Google Pixel got Android 10. For users still relying on these devices, the end of Chrome support means increased security risks and a growing list of features that will no longer work. If you're still using one of these models, Google is encouraging you to upgrade — presumably to a Pixel device. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

Threads now lets you manage Hidden Words separately from Instagram, set time limits

Threads, Meta's competitor to X, now has its own Hidden Words setting that operates separately from Instagram. The feature allows you to filter out posts that contain words, phrases, or emojis you don't want to see in feeds, search, profiles, and replies. Previously, Hidden Words was tied to Instagram, so the filters that you entered would be applied to content on both platforms. Now, you can create a separate list of Hidden Words on Threads to further personalize the content that you see on the platform without impacting what you see on Instagram. Threads also announced that you can now set time limits for filters in instances where you don't want to permanently block certain words, phrases, or emojis. You have the option to now set filters to expire within 30 days as a way to 'snooze' them until you want to see the related posts in the app again. Image Credits:Threads For example, this setting could be helpful in situations where you're not caught up on a TV show and don't want to see spoilers on your feed, but want to eventually see posts related to the TV show at a later point when you're caught up. The move comes two weeks after the social network began testing a DM inbox that's separate from users' Instagram DM Inboxes. Today's announcement and the updates to direct messages suggest that Meta may be working to make Threads more of an independent service outside of Instagram. As Threads continues to take on X, the social network has been rolling out numerous features every month. Most recently, the company launched the ability for users to see posts from other users on the fediverse within a dedicated feed, and search for fediverse users directly in Threads. The platform is also testing spoiler text, and now allows creators to use their Threads profiles to share links and track clicks.
