Two more fan-favorites survived ‘Infinity War’ and one may hold the key to defeating Thanos

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

Plenty of superheroes and fan-favorite characters from the Marvel Cinematic Universe perished when Thanos snapped his fingers while wearing that powerful Infinity Gauntlet, but those deaths aren’t permanent. Avengers 4 will fix all of that, and we have already seen plenty of proof that many of the dead characters will be back in the next movie. While some of those characters may appear in flashbacks or alternate timelines, it’s likely that all of our favorite heroes, especially the ones who will appear in upcoming Marvel movies, will be resurrected. Now we have evidence that two more supporting characters have survived the snap and will be seen again in the Marvel universe. And one of them may hold the key to defeating Thanos, according to an incredible fan theory.

watchOS 5.1.2 update will bring revolutionary ECG app to Apple Watch Series 4

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

The software update that finally brings the highly touted electrocardiogram app to the Apple Watch Series 4 is expected to be out soon. Indeed, it’s soon enough that Apple has already begun circulating a training document giving key instructions on how Apple Store employees should interact with customers regarding the addition once it arrives with watchOS 5.1.2.

The ability to take an ECG reading right from your wrist was one of the centerpiece features that naturally grabbed attention when Apple first showed off the new watch model in recent months. And it’s certainly game-changing, this ability to use a companion ECG app that takes advantage of electrodes built into the watch’s digital crown as well as a new electrical heart sensor built into the watch’s back crystal. Apple got FDA clearance for the app, which reads data captured by the watch to give you a heart classification that’s stored in the Apple Health app and can detect and classify irregular heart rhythms.

Chinese scientist says there’s more gene-edited babies on the way as scrutiny mounts

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

It’s only Wednesday but the strangest science story of the week is already taking some interesting twists. A few days ago, Chinese researcher and currently suspended university scientist He Jiankui revealed that he had conducted gene editing work on human embryos which eventually resulted in pregnancies that were carried to term.

The medical research community has universally condemned He’s efforts and framed it as a huge ethical concern. Now, He is defending his work even as another scientist, this time in the U.S., comes under investigation for his role in the research.

Google Fi wireless service is available on iPhones for the first time ever

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

Google Fi wireless service first launched back in 2015, offering people in certain regions of the United States a new and unconventional alternative to traditional cellular service. Google Fi has since expanded to work across the country and with a number of different smartphone models. Unlike wireless plans from companies like Verizon and AT&T, Google Fi uses home Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi hotspots across the country as one of its primary means of communication for both data and voice. When Wi-Fi is unavailable does it fall back to cellular connectivity for voice and data, utilizing multiple networks from different cellular carriers.

It’s a nifty approach that helps Google keep costs down, and Google Fi plans are much more affordable than typical wireless plans as a result. You pay just $20 per line for access, and then each gigabyte of cellular data you use costs $10. After 6GB of data, Google stops charging you so gigabytes 7 through 15 are free and unthrottled. In the rare instance that someone uses more than 15GB in a single billing period, remaining cellular data may be throttled but is still free.

It’s a very smart concept, and the biggest roadblock has traditionally been smartphone selection. Since Google Fi needs unique software in order to work, it has only been available on a handful of Android phones. On Tuesday, however, Google announced a number of new phones that are compatible with Google Fi. And for the first time ever, that list includes iPhones.

Samsung’s next flagship phone will get us even closer to the smartphone design of our dreams. Samsung already unveiled a bunch of new versions of its Infinity display that all push us closer to a bezel-less smartphone. On top of that, a flurry of reports in the past few weeks all said the same thing, that the Galaxy S10 would have a new Infinity-O display, the screen design with a hole for the selfie camera that will be first featured on the Galaxy A8s and on an upcoming Huawei phone. But can the Galaxy S10’s design also support Face ID-like 3D facial recognition?
