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

Holy. Moly. That’s pretty much all anyone could say when the Disney+ account on Twitter was finished tweeting out a complete list of every single movie and TV show that will be available on the hotly anticipated new streaming service at launch. That’s right… Disney’s dedicated Disney+ Twitter account tweeted out every single piece of content one at a time, and the final tally is jaw-dropping.

Are you wondering what the full tally is? Well, here comes the spoiler: 629! That’s right, boys and girls. Apple is about to launch its new TV+ service for $10 a month with almost no content at all aside from a show about a morning news team and friggin Dickinson. Meanwhile, Disney+ will have a whopping 629 movies and complete series in the US on day one, from the 1930s straight through to brand new releases and exclusive shows like The Mandalorian, all for $6.99 per month. Actually, it’s only $4.72 if you hurry and take advantage of the insane Founders Circle deal that’s running right now. Yup… you can get Disney+ and all 629 of its launch-day titles for literally less than half what you’ll pay for Apple TV+.

Last-minute Pixel 4 leak says pricing will be lower than we thought

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

It’s finally Pixel 4 day, which means Google can share with the world all of the Pixel 4’s secrets — secrets which leaked well ahead of the press event, of course. The Pixel 4’s price, however, was one thing that didn’t get as much coverage in leaks. So far, three separate leaks suggested the Pixel 4 phones will be more expensive than their predecessors, but also more expensive than some of their direct competitors, including the iPhone 11 and OnePlus 7T, to name just a few. A last-minute Pixel 4 price leak, however, indicates the phone will cost just as much as the Pixel 3.

Fortnite Chapter 2 updates leak just as the mysterious Black Hole disappears

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

Much to the dismay of hardcore Fortnite players who can’t have enough of their favorite game, the Battle Royale hit was taken offline without warning on Sunday, with a black hole blocking all access. It was all a brilliant marketing stunt, and that much should have been clear from the moment the game offline. But we got the first unofficial confirmations that Fortnite is about to receive a significant update much later. Leaks on Monday explained that Epic Games was in the process of releasing Chapter 2 of the game, and season 11 with it, an update that’s supposed to bring several improvements, from a new map to new weapons, and new ways to play the game. Those leaks hinted that gameplay should resume on October 15th, although it wasn’t clear what time zone they referred to.

Elon Musk: Tesla’s pickup truck will look like an ‘armored personnel carrier from the future’

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

While Tesla’s initial master plan ended with the release of a mass market EV — which we now know as the Model 3 — the company’s automotive ambitions extend far beyond that. Looking ahead, Tesla has a number of intriguing vehicles in its product pipeline, including a crossover version of the Model 3 dubbed the Model Y, a next-gen Roadster, and the Tesla Semi. What’s more, Tesla has also been busy developing an all-electric pickup truck, a vehicle the company has been teasing for quite some time now.

Over the weekend, Tesla CEO Elon Musk confirmed via Twitter that the official reveal for Tesla’s highly-anticipated pickup truck is still set for November. This is certainly encouraging news, especially in light of Tesla’s habit of making ambitious promises it’s not always capable of keeping.

Hookup apps blamed for STD spike

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

A few days ago the CDC issued an alarming new bulletin revealing that STD rates are skyrocketing across the United States. Cases of gonorrhea and syphilis have reached levels not seen for decades, and chlamydia is currently at an all-time high. It’s bad news, and it’s understandable that health officials want to get to the bottom of these alarming numbers as soon as possible.

So, what could possibly be leading to many new STD cases? Each state is doing its best to tackle the startling rise in STDs, but Hawaii’s Department of Health is one of the first to come out and say what everyone is already thinking: hookup apps are to blame.

California wildfires are no match for Tesla’s advanced ‘Bioweapon Defense Mode’

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

Tesla’s “Bioweapon Defense Mode” feature is proving to be quite effective for California Tesla owners when it comes to withstanding the ongoing wildfires out west. As a quick refresher, the “Bioweapon Defense Mode” feature works to diminish the impact polluted air can have on a vehicle’s occupants.

Tesla notes that the feature was “inspired by the air filtration systems used in hospitals, clean rooms, and the space industry” and boasts that it’s capable of removing pollen, bacteria, and other types of outside pollution from the air before it enters the car.

Air pollution is killing fetuses before they’re born

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

There’s no shortage of scientific evidence to show that air pollution can have seriously harmful effects on each and every once of us. Recent research suggests that the air quality in some major cities is so bad that it’s the equivalent of a pack-a-day smoking habit. Now, a new study out of China reveals that the dangerous effects of poor air quality extend to unborn fetuses as well.

The study, which was published in Nature Sustainability, focused on the patient records of over 255,000 pregnant women in Beijing between 2009 and 2017. The researchers examined the rates of miscarriage as well as the individual exposure of each expectant mother to various types of air pollution.
