NASA’s Mars 2020 rover just had an eye exam

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

NASA’s Mars 2020 rover is now less than one year away from finally being shot skyward toward the Red Planet, and NASA engineers are hard at work, ensuring all the spacecraft’s systems function as intended. In a new blog post by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the agency reveals that the high-tech rover just passed a particularly intense eye exam.

The rover is packed with sensors, including lenses that will offer scientists a stunning glimpse at the Martian landscape, but before its electronic eyes received a clean bill of health they were tested on a series of dotted grids placed from 1 to 40 meters away.

The Apple Card is so much more revolutionary than you think

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

Here’s one of the best indicators that a new era has dawned at Apple, which has been looking for new products and services to focus on as sales of the company’s all-important iPhone continue to mature.

The fiscal third-quarter earnings Apple reported just a few days ago revealed a remarkable new reality for the company, with sales of the iPhone now representing less than half of its overall revenue. Under CEO Tim Cook, however, the company has not been waiting idly for that maturation of the product line and has redoubled its efforts on selling services, subscriptions to things like Apple Music — and on introducing new products like Apple Card, which a new survey says is shaping up to be a ‘hit’ product for Apple, despite barely any marketing.

CDC shuts down military virus lab after failed safety inspection

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

When you’re handling some of the world’s most deadly viruses and bacteria, safety should always be a top priority, but apparently the staff of the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases at Fort Detrick in Frederick, Maryland, didn’t get that memo. The Centers for Disease Control has now shuttered the facility and forced a halt to all research after inspectors found multiple safety violations.

The CDC reportedly initiated the shutdown late last month and the facility has, for the moment, gone dark, as a result of having its registration with the Federal Select Agent Program suspended. This prevents the researchers from working with the deadly germs that they were studying.

Apple just released iOS 13 beta 6

Surprise! Apple just released iOS 13 beta 6 and iPadOS beta 6 for developers — seemingly a bit ahead of schedule since iOS 13 beta 5 was released just last week. That makes sense though because beta 5 was reeeeeeeeeally buggy. We expect tons of beta fixes and stability improvements in iOS 13 beta 6 and the comparable iPadOS build, and there should be a few new features to be found as well.

Anker’s 6-foot USB-C to Lightning cable is way better than Apple’s, and it’s $17 instead of $35

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

If you buy the 6-foot USB-C to Lightning Cable Apple sells, you’ll pay $35 to Apple on its site or in an Apple store. You can save a couple bucks by picking one up on Amazon where it’s down to $33, but we strongly recommend a different option. The Anker 6-Foot USB-C to Lightning Cable is better in every way, featuring a strong braided nylon design that won’t break after a few months of twisting and bending like Apple’s cables always do. Clip the coupon on the Amazon page and you can pick one up right now for only $16.99!

Anker USB C to Lightning Cable [6 ft Apple MFi Certified] Powerline+ II Nylon Braided Cable for…: $16.99

Nintendo reportedly has even more new Switch models in the works

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

Following months of rumors and speculation, Nintendo finally confirmed the existence of the Switch Lite last month, announcing that the new model of the console would launch on September 20th for $199. Not long after, we learned that the original Switch model was getting an upgrade as well to extend its battery life, but it turns out that these two updates are just the beginning of what might be a long string of new Switch models.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Sharp will supply Nintendo with its IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide) display panels for future Switch models. The material Sharp uses for these display panels are incredibly high resolution, but don’t consume much power and are said to be very durable as well.
