You’d never be able to tell from the ground, but the area around Earth is getting a bit crowded. Fully functional satellites from NASA, the European Space Agency, and other groups have to regularly account for all manner of manmade space junk, and occasionally they even have to dodge one another.

That’s exactly what happened on Monday, as the ESA’s Aeolus observation satellite fired its thrusters to push it away from a potential collision with a SpaceX Starlink satellite. Everything appears safe now, but what’s particularly interesting about the incident is that SpaceX apparently didn’t care enough about a possible collision to do anything about it.

The best always come at a price, and that’s why the Bose QuietComfort 35 II Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones are so expensive. If you have the means, however, they’re well worth the $350 price tag. People always argue over whether these headphones or the Sony WH1000XM3 headphones are the best noise cancelling headphones, and the bottom line is that they’re both great. Want our opinion? Sony’s headphones have a slight edge in noise cancellation tech, while these Bose headphones have the slight edge in sound quality. Still unsure which model you should go with? Maybe this will help: A surprise sale on Amazon just slashed $50 off the price of the QC35 headphones!

Bose QuietComfort 35 II Wireless Bluetooth Headphones, Noise-Cancelling, with Alexa voice contr…: $299.00

Here’s the scoop from the product page:

• Three levels of world-class noise cancellation for better listening experience in any environment
• Alexa-enabled for voice access to music, information, and more
• Noise-rejecting dual-microphone system for clear sound and voice pick-up
• Balanced audio performance at any volume
• Hassle-free Bluetooth pairing, personalized settings, access to future updates, and more through the Bose Connect app
• Bose AR enabled* — an innovative, audio-only version of augmented reality
• Unlock Bose AR* via a firmware update through the Bose Connect app
• * Bose AR availability and functionality varies. Bose AR enhanced apps are currently available for iPhone and iPad users only. Apps for Android devices are in development.

Samsung’s first foldable phone launch turned out to be an embarrassment for the company, which had to admit its original final Galaxy Fold design was a disaster. Even so, Samsung patched up the Fold, supposedly fixing the design issues that broke the screen during early tests. Now, the company is marching towards a new release date. Regardless of how the Galaxy Fold does in stores, Samsung isn’t giving up its dream to make more foldable handsets, and the company is now working on a new foldable design that could be genuinely appealing: A Galaxy Note 10-like device that folds into a square.

Intended to be the kind of flagship device that would certify Samsung as one of the leading innovators in the mobile business, the Galaxy Fold has been anything but. The first foldable Galaxy handset was supposed to launch on April 26th, but then Samsung was forced to abruptly cancel the phone’s release just days after early reviewers discovered a few severe quality issues with the handset. It was the worst thing that can happen with a foldable display during testing: the foldable screens were breaking. Two separate issues made the screen unusable, forcing Samsung to go back to the drawing board in search of fixes to the problems.

It took Samsung several months to come forward with a redesign of the hinge and of the foldable plastic film on top of the screen. Then, Samsung quietly started taking pre-order registrations for the Galaxy Fold in China and then in the US, looking to see whether buyers were still interested in the device. Samsung has yet to announce a new release date of the handset, but the date new has just leaked from a reliable source… and it couldn’t come at a worse time for Samsung.

There was some confusion last time we covered this deal — which is one of the best deals we’ve ever seen on Amazon, period — so we wanted to cover it again for two reasons. First, the confusion stemmed from people who simply didn’t our post, so we’re putting this important note front and center. In fact, we’ll even make it bold: this deal is only available to some people, so the special coupon code will not work for everyone. And second, this deal is straight-up bonkers so if you missed it when we covered it last week, now is your chance to get in on the action.

So what’s this incredible deal we’re discussing? If you’re lucky enough to be eligible, you can use the coupon code AMZNPLUG at checkout to get a $25 Amazon Smart Plug for just $5. No, seriously, just $5! How do you know if you’re eligible? It’s actually pretty simple — when you visit the Amazon Smart Plug page, you’ll see the following banner near the top of the screen:

We can state conclusively that MANY people are indeed eligible for the deal because thousands upon thousands of our readers have gotten it since we covered it on the site last week.

Now, there’s one more important point we have to stress. In fact, we’ll make this bold as well so that people read it: even if you’re not eligible for the deal now, you might be eligible at a later date. On our own Amazon account, we noticed that we were able to see the deal last week, then it vanished, then it reappeared on our account on Tuesday morning. So if you can’t use the special coupon code today, just bookmark this page and check again tomorrow or later this week!

This past weekend, you might have seen what looked like a huge iPhone 11 specs leak that was covered by tons of tech blogs out there, and you might’ve wondered why it wasn’t covered here on BGR. The answer is pretty simple: it was fake. Not only was it fake, it was beyond obvious that it was fake and all the gadget blogs out there that covered it were merely looking for clicks. Much of what we know about Apple’s upcoming iPhone 11 lineup was leaked by inside sources that are almost never wrong about this sort of thing. So when a new leak pops up from an unknown source and contradicts several key specs or features that have been reported by far more reliable leakers, we don’t pay it any mind and neither should you. Besides, if you were looking for a new iPhone 11 specs leak, it turns out you only had to wait a few more days because a legitimate leak just came along and spilled what few iPhone 11 secrets remained.
