DxOMark’s Pixel 3 camera review is more than just a score

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

The camera experts at DxOMark put all smartphones through the paces, but the science behind the final scores isn’t thoroughly explained and those scores aren’t completely objective. Moreover, there’s no maximum, and this year we saw several models exceed the 100-point mark. The Pixel 3 is one of the devices that obtained such a score, 101 points to be exact, matching the iPhone XR’s result. However, the Pixel 3 is also the first Pixel phone in Google’s history that didn’t top DxOMark’s list — the Huawei P20 Pro with its 109 points has had that crown for a while now.

The first Avengers: Endgame trailer was released a few weeks ago and an IMAX version followed earlier this week, but we still have no idea how things will go down in the upcoming movie. We do know that the fight against Thanos isn’t over and that the remaining Avengers have a plan to try to make things right. However, don’t expect a perfect happy ending for Endgame. After all, this is a Russo brothers Marvel movie, which means we’re in for plenty of heartache. Thanos will probably be defeated in Endgame, but that doesn’t mean all our favorite heroes will survive.

We already suspect that some of the Avengers will have to sacrifice themselves for the greater good, and there’s a new fan theory that says the deaths of two beloved Avengers may have been foreshadowed all the way back in Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Christmas came early for a lot of YouTube fans when a popular creator by the name of Mark Rober dropped a karma-filled video showing off his latest invention: a glitter bomb dressed up like an expensive gadget to bait and prank package thieves.

The video immediately went viral and everyone seemed to love watching the filthy porch pirates get what was coming to them. Unfortunately, Rober has since admitted that some of the reactions in the video were apparently faked, and some of the “thieves” were actually in on the joke, even if he didn’t know it at the time.
