Battery life is easily one of the highlights of Apple’s new iPhone 11 models. Early reviewers confirmed Apple’s claims for all three devices, which is great news for buyers who’ve been asking for better battery life from their iPhones. We’ve already explained that it’s a combination of factor that allowed Apple to increase battery life by one to five hours, depending on models, including more efficient components and bigger battery capacities. At the time, however, we had no idea how big the iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max batteries were, but the new iPhones are definitely bulkier than their predecessors. That meant Apple must have made the most of the available internal space to increase battery capacity, even if that meant making the new iPhones slightly thicker than before. Apple, of course, doesn’t actually mention battery size during its iPhone launch events. But thanks to newly discovered regulatory filings for the three devices, we know exactly how big Apple’s new batteries are.

Whenever there’s a high-profile NASA mission on the horizon you can expect to hear about the various tests leading up to an eventual launch. Firing huge rocket engines is cool, and testing new instruments on a rover is pretty exciting, too, but spewing a bunch of water across a launch pad? Well, It’s a little less glamorous, but still needs to be done.

The mobile launch pad for the upcoming Artemis I mission, called Pad 39B, will be the last piece of solid ground that astronauts will stand on before embarking on a mission to the lunar surface. As such, NASA has to ensure that all of its systems are in perfect working order well in advance of the big day, and a recent water flow test shows that things are shaping up nicely.

It’s practically impossible to keep up with the sheer volume of new titles that hit Netflix every single month. From original programming to a revolving door of popular TV shows and movies, Netflix in September alone will introduce nearly 100 new titles for subscribers. And when you add that to an already sizable library of content, figuring out to watch can sometimes be a bit daunting.

Given the absolute avalanche of content Netflix houses, many subscribers simply rely upon the streaming giant’s recommendation algorithm to determine what programs to watch next. And from my personal experience, the algorithm tends to be spot-on more often than it isn’t. Interestingly enough, the recommendation algorithm isn’t entirely based on what Netflix thinks you might enjoy. Every so often, the algorithm will try and present a program that Netflix wants you to give a shot.

Heartburn, and its even uglier cousin, acid reflux, can leave a person feeling incredibly uncomfortable, which is why drugs meant to treat such conditions are so popular. But, given the choice, most people would likely choose a bit of digestive discomfort over other more serious conditions like, oh I don’t know, cancer.

Apparently, that’s a choice that some will now have to consider, as the FDA is alerting heartburn sufferers that rely on the medication ranitidine — sold under the brand name Zantac — that the drugs may be tainted with a potentially cancer-causing impurity.

Google’s Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL may be the stars of the show at its hardware event next month, but they won’t be the only devices unveiled at the event. Google will undoubtedly bring a variety of new products to its October event, and one of those products might have leaked a few weeks early. This week, 9to5Google shared two new images which appear to feature the display of the unannounced Pixelbook 2 powered on and running.

As 9to5Google notes, a device codenamed “Atlas” has been appearing in rumors and leaked documents since last year, and those rumors seemed to point to the device being a next-gen Pixelbook. Based on those rumors, the design of the Pixelbook would be receiving a modest, but noticeable, update.

That’s according to the text of the lawsuit, which can be read here, and accuses the company of tricking investors.
