New repair data shows we won’t fix a cracked screen if the phone still works

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

It might not come as a surprise, but one effect of the rising price of smartphones — and the increasing commonality of $1,000+ handsets — is that consumers are likewise increasingly putting off repairs, especially if the damage doesn’t seem to impact the phone’s overall performance.

Apple’s annual holiday ad is out, and completely animated for the first time

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

Apple’s annual holiday commercials are generally heartwarming affairs that play on peoples’ feelings of nostalgia and holiday cheer, but the iPhone maker took a different tack with this year’s ad, which you can watch in this post. For one thing, it’s almost completely free of product placement — almost, except for the young girl working on a sticker-covered MacBook in the opening frames.

The more obvious change, though, is this the first time Apple has gone with a completely animated holiday ad.

Samsung’s first foldable phone might be called ‘Galaxy Flex’ or ‘Samsung Flex’

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

Earlier this month, Samsung unveiled a bunch of new Infinity display variations, including the Infinity-O screen we expect to see on mid-range phones and on the upcoming Galaxy S10 flagship, but also the Infinity Flex screen suspected to be featured on the company’s first-ever foldable smartphone.

It all happened at Samsung’s developer conference, where Samsung also announced its new user interface that will power all its devices, including the foldable handset. What Samsung didn’t tell us at the time is what the foldable phone will be called, or when it’ll launch, but a new report offers us two possible names for the handset.

Everything leaving Netflix in December 2018

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

After sparing us from virtually any significant removals in November, Netflix is apparently making up for lost time in December by kicking off a bunch of all-time classics from its service. These are the kinds of movies that you’ll want to put in your queue and watch one last time in the next couple of weeks before they vanish for good.

For example, Moana will no longer be on Netflix as of December 20th. That shouldn’t come as a big surprise with the launch of Disney’s own streaming service right around the corner, but that doesn’t make it sting any less. We are also losing Groundhog Day, Spotlight, Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, and all seven seasons of Sons of Anarchy. Also, I didn’t even realize The Brave Little Toaster was on Netflix, but it’s leaving too.

Facebook and Instagram, for the second time in the space of a week, have gone down in an outage that’s more or less impacted the services systemwide. The social platforms are back up and operating normally for some users, but there are still plenty of reports of spotty service or no service at all, amounting to yet another in a litany of black eyes and negative headlines facing the company, one after another, in recent days.

CDC: Throw away all your romaine lettuce, no matter where it’s from

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

What the heck is going on with romaine lettuce? This year has been absolutely brutal for anyone who enjoys a good salad, with the CDC issuing alert after alert warning people not to eat lettuce grown from certain regions or purchased during certain time frames in specific areas.

Then, in May, we got a bit of good news: the lettuce was almost safe to eat again! Now, the CDC is going as far in the other direction as it possibly can, with a new bulletin urging everyone to throw out all romaine lettuce no matter where it was purchased from, what region it was grown in, or when it was purchased. It’s the lettuce apocalypse.
