Eduards Sizovs, founder of software developer conference DevTernity, has already been in the headlines for reportedly listing fake female speakers for a conference. Now, it has been revealed that Sizovs may also be behind Coding_Unicorn, a popular Instagram account supposedly run by a female coder, 404 Media reports.

Coding_Unicorn has 115,000 followers on Instagram and claims to be run by a professional software developer named Julia. The account features photos — many of which are glamour shots — of Julia at a MacBook alongside "no-BS coding, career, productivity tips." 

404 Media has laid out a range of evidence that Sizovs is responsible for the account, such as a YouTube video showing Sizovs having previously logged into the account's email and photos of Julia's computer screen that show her logged in as Sizovs. Some of Julia's Instagram captions are also exact copies of Sizovs' LinkedIn posts. 

Julia also lists herself as a DevTernity fan and links to the company's upcoming conferences. She was allegedly going to speak at a conference but "switched to helping with the organization." The event, which was set to start on December 7, has been canceled following the allegations that fake women were added to the lineup in an effort for it to look more diverse. Two women — one listed as a staff engineer at Coinbase and another as a Microsoft MVP and WhatsApp senior engineer — were removed from DevTernity's website and have no online presence or, potentially, existence at all, according to The Register.  

Sizovs responded to the conference allegations on X: "The amount of hate and lynching I keep receiving is as if I would have scammed or killed someone. But I won't defend myself because I don't feel guilty. I did nothing terrible that I need to apologize for." Sizovs did admit that one profile listed on the site was a "demo persona" that was "auto-generated, with a random title, random Twitter handle, random picture." However, skeptics claim removing the person should have been simple and that it didn't appear to be auto-generated at all, with the picture even changing early on.

Looking to the future, Sizovs said, "I’ll increase efforts 10x to make sure that next year, if one of our ladies drops out, we have a fallback plan." As for Unicorn_Coding, it's unclear who exactly the woman is in the photos or how she's connected to Sizovs. You can read 404 Media's article to learn more about this wild case.

If you play a ton of games, most consoles available today have a laughable about of onboard storage to hold them all. If you've already picked up a few more games today thanks to Black Friday deals, you may want to consider getting some more digital storage to support them. Xbox users can pick up Seagate's Storage Expansion Cards for Xbox Series X and Series S for new all-time low prices. Seagate's 1TB model is currently $130, which is a 41 percent discount from its original $220 price. If 1TB just won't cut it, the 2TB version is 18 percent off, dropping to $230 from $280. If Seagate isn't your brand of choice, Western Digital's 1TB C50 Storage Expansion Card for Xbox is down to $125 from $150 — a 17 percent discount. 

In a perfect world, our gaming consoles would have endless gigabytes of storage for games (while we're wishing for things, they'd also be cheaper). Yet, the 1TB Seagate and Western Digital storage expansion cards double the amount of storage that comes with the Xbox Series X — even more so since some of the initial storage is for the operating system. 

The Seagate and Western Digital expansion cards work relatively the same. One of the most significant factors is that Seagate's card connects with a USB while Western Digital's card goes right into Xbox's expansion slot. Typically, Western Digital is a better deal at $70 cheaper, but with only a $5 difference, it comes down to preference. However, only Seagate offers the 2TB option, so the choice is easy if that's what you want. Don't take too long to decide, as lots of gameplay awaits.

Asking a question on Google Meet is getting a little more interactive. Google is rolling out a new gesture detection feature that lets you physically raise your hand to alert the group that you have a question versus clicking the raise hand button. Sure, it's a minor thing, but after a long day sitting online, some movement doesn't hurt.

The gesture detection feature works as long as your camera is on and your hand is clearly visible in the shot — Google recommends distancing it from your face and body. Hold it there momentarily while it recognizes that your hand is raised and alerts other participants. Yes, you may feel like you're back in school, but who doesn't love some nostalgia? 

Don't worry if you're an animated talker, waving your hands all over the place. Google Meet should deactivate gesture detection anytime you're an active speaker, only turning it back on once you're a silent participant again. While admins have no control over the feature, you can turn it off anytime by going to More Options, then clicking Reactions and Hand Raise Gesture. We all love to wave as the meeting is ending, so if that regularly triggers it, then you might want to turn it off. 

Gesture detection should roll out to Rapid Release domains in the next few days. Scheduled Release domains will experience a gradual rollout over the course of 15 days, starting on November 28. The feature is available across most Google Meet Workspace plans, including Business Standard and Plus, Education Plus and individual subscribers.
