Google is about to release a new app that might just save your life

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

We’ve written on several occasions about just how essential Google’s mobile apps are on both Android and iOS, and now a new addition appears to be entering the fold. XDA Developers editor-in-chief Mishaal Rahman reports that the built-in Emergency Information app on his Pixel 2 XL received an update this week that changed the app’s name to Personal Safety and added a new feature that detects car crashes and can call 911 automatically.

As Rahman notes, he is the only person he knows with a Pixel device to have received the update, which he says is likely a result of “the numerous tweaks” he has made to his device. As such, he believes that this is likely an app that was intended to roll out with the Pixel 4, but it’s not clear if it will be exclusive to the Pixel 4.

The $79 Vizio soundbar everyone loves is finally back in stock on Amazon

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

Vizio is known far and wide for making TVs and home audio gear that offer fantastic quality at a reasonable price. Some prices are more reasonable than others, of course, and that’s why the VIZIO SB2920-C6 29-Inch 2.0 Channel Sound Bar is so incredibly popular. For just $78.99, you get the excellent sound quality that Vizio is known for, and yet it’s stuffed into a compact sound bar that will fit just about anywhere. There’s nothing else out there that offers this kind of quality for under $100 and that’s why it’s been sold out for so long on Amazon. Well guess what: it’s finally back in stock! We obviously have no idea how long it’ll take this new batch to sell out though, so you should get in on the action soon if you want to avoid missing out.

VIZIO SB2920-C6 29-Inch 2.0 Channel Sound Bar: $78.99

Here are the bullet points from the product page:

  • 95 dB of room-filling, crystal clear sound with less than 1% total harmonic distortion. Sound Bar Frequency: 70 Hz – 19 KHz

This is the Galaxy Fold drop test we’ve all been waiting for

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

The Galaxy Fold is finally out in stores in the US, which means brave souls can now dish out $2,000 to own the first widely available smartphone in the world with a foldable screen. We’ve told you time and again not to buy the handset because you’re probably going to destroy it… and because it’s a piece of junk. Specifically, the Galaxy Fold has a terrible design and the fragile display of the handset can break even if you’re super careful. The hinge is also problematic as it might collect dust and debris, which also means that water can get into the phone with relative ease. If you still think you have what it takes to buy the Galaxy Fold as it is right now rather than wait for a next-gen version that’s less of a piece of junk, then you should watch the following durability test video that shows not only how the phone handles impact with concrete, but also what happens after tens of thousands of folds.

Scientists argue that contaminating Mars with microbes might be a good thing

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

At some point in the not-so-distant future, mankind will embark on a mission to another planet. That planet will be Mars, the largely barren, dusty rock that NASA and other scientific agencies around the world have been studying for decades. When humans eventually land on the planet, it might be the first time a living creature has set foot on Mars, but a new research paper suggests that we take measures to ensure something gets there before us.

At present, scientists can’t say for certain whether or not any life exists on Mars. Microbial life here on Earth has shown the ability to survive in extreme conditions, and it’s still possible something is alive on the Red Planet. But even if it’s not, the researchers behind this new study say we should send microscopic organisms to the nearby world right now to give it a jump start.
