An interesting discovery has been made through the Disc Detective project by citizen scientists. These amateur scientists worked with researchers to discover the closest young Brown dwarf disc ever discovered. A brown dwarf is too big to be a planet, but not big enough to be a star.
Depending on who you ask, the name "Google Currents" will mean something different. Most will have no clue about it while some will remember it as one of Google's failed social experiments focused more on full-length magazine articles. Last year, however, Google reused that name for what would practically be its replacement for Google+ in G Suite. Now it is announcing that this new Google Currents will be leaving beta testing in July, finally laying Google+ to rest for good.
Karma is shifting back the attention to its potent Revero GT with new a new pair of Sport and Performance packages. Admittedly, most of Karma’s thunder is focused on the Revero GTS unveiled in late 2019, and there’s a reason for this: The GTS model is quicker and has a longer range than a standard Revero GT.
It almost feels like forever, especially after everything that has happened to our world, but it wasn't too long ago that the likes of Microsoft, Samsung, and even Huawei envision smartphones providing desktop-like experiences. Parts of that vision still exist, though with less fanfare, but it is a vision that is pretty much shackled to desktops and immobile setups. Of all those early believers of that vision, NexDock remains as one of the extremely few still making accessories for that vision and it has just announced its latest "lapdock" that tries to keep that dream alive.
The 2021 Toyota Hilux is now better, tougher, and stronger than ever. And with the possible addition of a high-performance GR Hilux variant, Toyota’s midsize pickup truck is determined to run circles around the Ford Ranger, Nissan Navara, and Chevy Colorado.
The primary objective for self-driving cars, at least the ones pushed by proponents of the technology, isn't the convenience of the driver or passenger. That is just one of the goals or even a by-product of what these autonomous vehicles bring to the table. After all, one can only sit back and relax and take one's hands off the wheel and eyes of the road when you're 200% sure the self-driving car can safely drive itself through any road condition or obstacle. It turns out, however, that our current autonomous driving technologies can only avoid 34% of crashes that human drivers caused.
The COVID-19 coronavirus has definitely changed the world in more ways than one. Until cures or even at least a vaccine has been discovered, the way we interact with each other and do businesses will have to change and adapt to what is being called the "new normal". For some businesses, that means a change in operations and hours and Google My Business is now giving them more flexibility in how they want to show those changes to customers via Google Search and Google Maps.
Although controversial right from its infancy, Facebook got into deep trouble because of its involvement in the 2016 US elections. Most of that centered the spread of misinformation, some of which came from accounts that were traced to state-controlled actors and media. It has spent the past years trying to defend and rebuild its reputation and with another US election coming, it's taking a hard stance in making sure users know who might be behind certain media companies.
The show must go on, as they say, and that definitely seems to be Apple's philosophy when it comes to announcing new products. Whether those products become available in the market on time, however, is a completely different matter. Under normal circumstances, Apple usually makes new iPhones, iPads, and Macs available close to when they were announced. These aren't normal circumstances, however, and this year's new iPhones could be delayed considerably according to a major supplier of iPhone parts.
When it comes to cloud storage services, Dropbox is still the household name over the likes of Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, or even Apple iCloud. People have trusted it with anything from personal files and photos to super-secret work documents. Now it seems that Dropbox will soon ask people to trust it with their passwords as well, making Dropbox the one cloud-based storage to rule them all, almost literally, too.
With a name that has both the words "desire" and "pro" in it, you would expect that this phone would at least be something worth desiring. If you thought that, then you probably don't know HTC at all or at least the HTC that continues to struggle in the mobile market for the past years. The Taiwanese company hasn't launched a flagship phone in almost two years and based on new information, it seems that the HTC Desire 20 Pro will hardly be it.
