The iPhone 6s and 6s Plus are basically ancient in iPhone years, having launched all the way back in 2015. But the phones still run the latest version of iOS, and are quite dependable — I sure do miss mine. However, some units have been experiencing power issues, even refusing to turn on.

While Apple has been dominating headlines in recent weeks for its camera innovations for the iPhone 11 line, a recent rumor suggests that a truly revolutionary change may be coming to Samsung’s next camera. In late September, South Korean publication The Elec reported that the Galaxy S11 would be the first phone from Samsung to feature a camera capable of 5x optical zoom. Now even more evidence has been uncovered to support that claim.

On Sunday, The Elec returned with a new report, claiming that Korean test socket manufacturer MecaTech will supply Samsung with test sockets for the rumored periscope camera of the Galaxy S11. The Elec notes that the sockets are used to make “last-minute” checks, which would seem to imply that Samsung has already finalized the decision to use these camera modules for the version of the Galaxy S11 that will ship to consumers.

When wireless home security cameras first started to get popular, I made the mistake of buying a couple of Nest Cams. They’re awesome, don’t get me wrong, but they’re also insanely expensive at $200 a piece. For that same $200 you’d pay for a single Nest Cam you can literally cover your entire home with Wyze Cam 1080p HD Indoor Wireless Smart Home Cameras. They have all the same important features that you would find in a Nest Cam, but they cost $26 each instead of $200!

As Earth began to slowly emerge from the last ice age, many of the creatures who had adapted to life on a frigid planet found it hard to survive. Woolly mammoths were one of the casualties of a warming Earth, and it’s believed that they were wiped from the planet around 4,000 years ago.

Now, new research pinpoints the location where the mammoths made their last stand. Cut off from the rest of the world on Wrangel Island, located in the Arctic Ocean, the last remaining population of the mammoths hung on for some 7,000 years before eventually dying out.
