Sony reveals another way that the PS5 will be a huge upgrade over the PS4

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

Sony has been drip-feeding us details about the next-gen PlayStation for months now, a process which began with a Wired interview back in April. Thanks to the interview, we know that the PlayStation 5 (though it still does not have an official name) will feature an 8-core AMD CPU, custom 3D audio unit, super-fast solid-state drive (SSD), the ability to play physical media, and full backwards compatibility with all PS4 games.

A month later, during a Q&A session at Sony IR Day 2019, deputy president John Kodera seemingly confirmed that PS4 and PS5 owners will be able to play online together. There have been a few major leaks and rumors since, but on Sunday, Sony returned with a small but interesting reveal about its next-gen console.

iPhone 11 Pro drop test shows Apple’s next-gen iPhone is shockingly durable

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

In a few years from now, people will likely look back at the current smartphone era and wonder why anyone in their right mind would destroy a perfectly good smartphone by dropping it from tall heights. The reality, though, is that modern-day smartphones, while more resilient and tougher than ever, are still prone to shattering when inadvertently dropped. With that said, a good old-fashioned drop test still has some merit these days, even if the height at which modern-day smartphones will shatter is seemingly getting higher and higher. Further, given that some smartphones cost in excess of $1000, knowing how prone a certain device is to shattering is clearly information of interest to many.

In light of that, it’s time for the time-honored tradition that immediately follows the release of any brand new iPhone: a drop test highlighting just how durable Apple’s next-gen iPhone actually is.

Cobra’s Road Scout is a radar detector and dash cam in one, and I won’t drive anywhere without it

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

I try to obey traffic laws including the speed limit as much as I can, but like most people I have my limits. When you’re driving on a big 4-lane street with no residential homes or heavily trafficked stores and the speed limited is 25 mph, there’s no way you’re driving that slow. That’s why a good radar detector is nice to have as long as it’s legal in your state. And of course, it’s even more important to have a dash cam in your car so that you can easily prove you’re innocent in the event of a car accident. The Cobra Road Scout Dash Cam and Radar Detector is a fantastic new model that checks both of those boxes with a single device, and it’s available right now on Amazon.

If you don’t need a radar detector and just want a high-quality dash camera, Cobra’s got two great options for you: The Cobra Drive Dash Cam DASH2208 and the Cobra Drive HD Dash Cam DASH2216D.

Cobra Road Scout Dash Cam and Radar Detector, WiFi, Bluetooth, iRadar Compatible, HD 1080P Dash…: $449.95

Here are the highlights from the product page:

  • 2-IN-1 RADAR DETECTOR & DASH CAM – Long range cobra radar detector combined with a high definition dash cam to capture and share unexpected moments. Built in Bluetooth provides community alerts from the Cobra iRadar app.
  • HIGH RESOLUTION DASH CAMERA FOR CARS – In-car video management on smartphone through direct Wifi connectivity to view, share, and edit videos. Full HD 1080p, enhanced night vision, and continuous loop recording provide for high quality video capabilities.
  • UNMISTAKEABLE DETECTION RANGE & ACCURACY – The best of police radar detector technology and radar detectors for cars, with Digital Signal processing detects real-time radar, laser, live patrol, and speed traps.
  • FAST, PRECISE, & RELIABLE ALERTS – Compatible with iRadar app for real-time crowd sourced speed trap notifications, preloaded with red light and speed camera location which trigger GPS-based laser-precise alerts.
  • EVERYTHING IN ONE CASE – Carry along the heavy duty EZ Mag Mount, 16GB SD Card, SmartCord, and micro USB cable accessories all in the convenient carry case.

You’ll probably destroy your $2,000 Galaxy Fold

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

The Galaxy Fold will be available in the US starting Friday, which will give you a fantastic opportunity to save $1,980, and do something else with that money. We get it, someone had to be first to launch foldable smartphones, and Samsung always wanted to be the one to do it. But if there’s anything the Galaxy Fold has proven so far it’s that technology isn’t ready for smartphone makers to create foldable handsets that are as durable as regular ones. Just a few days ago, Samsung reminded buyers the phone is an accident waiting to happen, in spite of all the changes it made to the phone’s construction. If you still want to go forward and part ways with $2,000, then you should know the chances of ruining your phone are very high, certainly higher than with any other device.

Google Play Pass is Android’s answer to Apple’s new gaming subscription service

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

Less than a week after Apple Arcade went live alongside the launch of iOS 13, Google has unveiled its own mobile gaming subscription platform for Android devices. Google Play Pass, much like Apple Arcade, costs $4.99 per month and grants access to hundreds of games without any ads or in-app purchases. But unlike Apple Arcade, Google Play Pass also includes premium productivity and entertainment apps, such as Facetune and AccuWeather.

Perhaps the biggest difference between Play Pass and Apple Arcade is that Google won’t require developers to make their apps or games exclusive to the service on mobile. Apple Arcade titles won’t appear anywhere on mobile outside of the service, but Play Pass titles aren’t beholden to the same restrictions.

Videos from ‘Storm Area 51’ show a bunch of stupid people doing very little actual storming

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

What started as a joke on Facebook — and eventually spawned a real-life gathering of alien hunters in the Nevada desert — quietly reached its climax over the weekend as a few dozen extraterrestrial enthusiasts stood around at the front gate of Area 51 and demanded to see a real-life alien. Their demands were not met, and they went home without incident.

The “Storm Area 51” event on Facebook gathered millions of supposed attendees, but the actual turnout what pretty modest. Last week, law enforcement in nearby Rachel, Nevada, expected as many as 30,000 people to show up for an alien-inspired festival, but video from the actual Area 51 reveals that only a few dozen people actually showed up at the military base. Videos shot from attendees are underwhelming, to say the least.

If you tuned in to watch the Emmys last night, you likely saw the latest teaser for El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie during one of the commercial breaks. We still haven’t gotten a traditional trailer for the Netflix original movie, but the commercial gave us our first look at Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) after the events of the Breaking Bad finale. And if the teaser is any indication, the movie might pick up just moments after the show ended.
