This public perception is a shame, because personal scooters are a different story. They allow you to get from A to B in a compact package. They’re easy to use and can save you significant money on cabs and public transit, but are also small enough to fit in a car or train if need be. And they come in all sorts of sizes and performance levels to suit the needs of various users....
That’s where Twelve South’s HoverBar Duo comes in. It’s a cleverly designed stand that supports all iPads and works in various orientations, so you can use your tablet hands-free for sketching, watching videos, or following recipe instructions. I’m particularly pleased with how well it works for video calls. Design The HoverBar Duo is designed to work with iPads of all sizes, even with thick cases attached; you can also fit phones larger than 5 inches in the clip....
Branson will take flight in VSS Unity along with a crew of six, consisting of pilots and space mission specialists. This is the company’s fourth test flight, but the first one with a full crew on board. The firm said it’ll live stream the event across various platforms to hype this up — and probably rub the success in Bezos’ face. Last month, it got approval from the Federal Aviation Administration to take passengers to space....
Still, XRP is the third most popular digital asset in the world. With a market capitalization (cap) of more than $12.5 billion, it trails behind only Bitcoin and Ethereum in terms of total value. In fact, XRP stands out like a sore thumb in CoinMarketCap’s top six cryptocurrencies, as it’s the only coin that isn’t derived from a permissionless blockchain that leverages Proof-of-Work (aside from popular stablecoin Tether). Quite an impressive feat for a digital asset that has no miners, and pitches itself almost exclusively as a settlement token for the financial sector....
In case that’s not clear, we’re talking about a smartwatch and a pair of true wireless headphones. Without further ado, let’s get into it. The Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 We learnt quite a lot about the company’s smartwatch when its firmware leaked at the end of June, but now, well, we know more, motherfuckers. First off, yeah, this is the second Samsung Galaxy Watch, as the company decided to skip the number two....
Samsung and Google worked closely together to make the Android more flexible for the Galaxy Fold. With Android 10, Google made it easier for apps to resize and added a feature to the Android Emulator that supports switching between multiple displays on the fly. This makies it easier for developers to test how their apps will work on the new form factor. While it’s not exactly anything new to run multiple apps on a smartphone – Samsung itself has been allowing you to do so for years – the Galaxy Fold’s form factor obviously lends itself to multitasking when used in tablet mode....
The SmartThings app will have a new function called SmartThings Labs that can use phone sensors such as mics and sound sensors to turn it into a smart device. Using AI, the app can identify sounds such as a baby crying, dog barking, cat meowing, or a door knock, it will send an alert directly to the user’s smartphone and the user can listen to the recorded sound. This is not an entirely novel function; Apple introduced a similar ability for sound detection alerts with iOS 14....
Welcome to another edition of Bitcoin Today, where I, Satoshi Nakaboto, tell you what’s been going on with Bitcoin in the past 24 hours. As Isaac Newton used to say: To infinity, and beyond! Bitcoin Price We closed the day, November 18 2019, at a price of $8,309. That’s a notable 3.08 percent decline in 24 hours, or -$264.68. It was the lowest closing price in twenty-four days. We’re still 58 percent below Bitcoin’s all-time high of $20,089 (December 17 2017)....

Perseverance and Zhourong were the fifth and sixth planetary rovers deployed in the last decade. The first one was America’s Curiosity which landed on Mars in 2012, followed by China’s three Chang’E missions. In 2019 the Chang’E-4 lander and its Yutu-2 rover were the first human objects landed on the far side of the Moon – the side that faces away from the Earth. This marked a pivotal milestone in planetary exploration, of equal importance to the Apollo 8 mission in 1968, when the far side of the Moon was seen by humans for the first time....
A new study, published in Nature Astronomy, has estimated the chance of causalities from falling rocket parts over the next ten years. Every minute of every day, debris rains down on us from space – a hazard we are almost completely unaware of. The microscopic particles from asteroids and comets patter down through the atmosphere to settle unnoticed on the Earth’s surface – adding up to around 40,000 tonnes of dust each year....
Yet, as far as we can tell, it’s not. Antimatter is elusive, and one of the major conundrums in modern physics is how we can explain a “symmetrical” universe of equal parts matter and antimatter when, after decades of searching, the universe appears to be almost entirely void of antimatter. To try to unravel this cosmic mystery, physicists are studying various features of antimatter. In particular, we’re interested in small differences between matter and antimatter that could explain the asymmetry we observe – in turn validating existing laws of physics....
Humankind has long sought to penetrate the mystery of how life came to exist on our planet. But what if the only reason we’re here right now is because the universe cheats? If we trace the origin of life back to the dawn of biology on Earth, we find ourselves rewinding to the primordial soup from which our first ancestors rose. However, the basic building blocks of life had to be present before anything could ooze its way out of the soup and into the future....
Cybersecurity firm, Kudelski Security, has announced that it will be demonstrating its deliberately insecure blockchain at the Black Hat USA infosec convention in Las Vegas next month. The company claims it’s the industry’s first intentionally vulnerable blockchain. Kudelski Security’s blockchain, called FumbleChain, is designed to be deliberately vulnerable so that budding hackers can ply their trade and try to break it. In doing so, the security firm hopes to learn how hackers exploit the decentralized systems, and eventually learn how to make more secure blockchains....
Understanding the intricacies of Google search algorithms are a lot like watching the tide roll in. It’s unpredictable. It’s constantly shifting. And everything you know and see is only defined by everything you don’t know and don’t see. Earlier this month, Google’s own internal search guru John Mueller dropped a few pearls during his Google Search Central SEO hangouts. He told attendees the total number of backlinks don’t matter, that attaching audio to a text based page doesn’t matter, and shorter domain names don’t matter....
Now, Slack is solving that problem by introducing a new feature called Connect DMs that’ll let you chat with someone from outside your organization through just a few clicks. This sounds like an email but in a chat format. In June, the company introduced Slack Connect, a way for multiple companies to have a joint slack channel. It said that over 56,000 organizations have been using this feature after the launch, and Slack Connect DM is the next step of that....
