The most controversial thing about ‘Avengers: Endgame’ is going to surprise you [SPOILERS]

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

April 26th is the official Avengers: Endgame launch date, a film that will deliver a conclusion to the first three phases of Marvel’s Cinematic Universe — well, Spider-Man: Far From Home is technically the last film of Phase 3, but Endgame is more like a finale. We’ve warned you multiple times in the past that Endgame will be as controversial as previous MCU movies made by the Russo brothers, and the list includes The Winter Soldier, Civil War, and Infinity War. Not to mention that the most recent leaks revealed several details about the film’s controversial plot points, which weren’t necessarily appreciated by some fans. Now that the film is out, we’re about to talk about the most controversial ‘Avengers: Endgame’ plot detail so far — interestingly, it’s not what you (or I) thought it would be. Before we get to any of that, I’ll note that we’re in the endgame of Endgame spoilers right now. What’s about to follow will contain massive spoilers, the kind you should avoid at all costs.

Samsung keeps reminding us that the Galaxy Fold is a huge embarrassment

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

Samsung’s first foldable phone, as exciting a tech feat it might be, turned into a massive embarrassment for the company. Samsung was forced to postpone the phone’s launch and recall the review units after many Galaxy Fold samples revealed several design issues with the phone that render the screen useless. But just as the world started forgetting about the Galaxy Fold mess — which, thankfully, isn’t of Galaxy Note 7 proportions — Samsung decided to remind us how much of a failure the first Galaxy Fold is.

Woman complaining of eye pain had four live bees in her eye, doctors say

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

When a 28-year-old woman arrived at Taiwan’s Fooyin University Hospital with complaints of eye pain, doctors approached it like a normal, run-of-the-mill case of eye discomfort. Her eye, which was badly swollen, was unable to completely shut, so Dr. Hong Chi Ting peered into the small slit between her eyelid and cheek. That’s when he realized this wasn’t like anything he had seen before.

As BBC reports, what the doctor saw through the tiny gap was a small, slender black leg. He tugged on the leg and out popped a bee. It was one of four such bugs to that had made a home inside the woman’s eye, drinking her tears for sustenance.

Newly-discovered ancient crab species is like nothing science has seen before

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

When researchers discover fossils of species that are new to science it’s only natural that they attempt to find a place for them in the colossal tree of life, matching them up with related species that may even exist today. A newly-discovered species of ancient creature is pushing that practice to its absolute limit.

Tiny fossils discovered in both Columbia and the United States reveal the existence of a pint-sized marine animal that lived some 90 million years ago. It’s being called a crab, but the researchers who discovered it are quick to point out how dramatically different it is from any other known crab species.

China pledges to have the first Moon base within a decade

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

The Chinese space agency has spent the first few several months of 2019 exploring the far side of the Moon after being the first nation to successfully perform a soft landing on the half of Earth’s neighbor that we never get to see. It deployed a rover — which is likely nearing the end of its brief exploration journey — and it even grew plants there for a brief time.

The country has rapidly caught up to nations like the United States and Russia, which have been exploring off-world for decades, and it’s pioneered some new advancements along the way. Now, China is pledging to focus on what would surely be one of its greatest scientific accomplishments to date: building a lunar base.

Apple insider says 5G will come to the iPad Pro after the iPhone in 2021

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

In all the excitement over the possibility of Apple adopting 5G for its 2020 iPhone lineup, the company’s other major mobile device has been all but forgotten about. It stands to reason that if the iPhone is getting 5G, the iPad is as well, but according to Ming-Chi Kuo, one of the top Apple analysts, it might be some time before Apple’s tablets are able to take advantage of the new technology that has just begun to roll out around the world.

Citing a note from Kuo, Economic Daily News reports that Apple will make significant internal changes to the iPad Pro in the coming years, with the goal of eventually bringing full 5G support to its tablets. Some of these changes may be implemented as early as this year, but Kuo believes 5G won’t come to the iPad until at least 2021.

Xiaomi designs a truly all-screen phone by just turning the notch into an ugly bump

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

Following the introduction of the iPhone X two years ago, smartphone manufacturers keep finding new ways to give users incrementally more screen real estate in part by housing front-facing sensors in a small notch at the top of the phone, with some notches as small as the shape of a teardrop. It’s a design that’s more a function of limited space options, and not so much a reflection of this being a design choice that users actually want, which is why we’ve seen handset makers experiment a bit with the positioning and shape of the notch over time.

The Universe is getting bigger at a faster rate than scientists predicted

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

The Universe is growing. Scientists have known as much for decades, but the rate at which it is getting bigger has been the topic of debate, with different measurements pointing to different rates of growth. Now, in an attempt at ruling out anomalies in the data, researchers have solidified their findings and published them in a new paper in Astrophysical Journal Letters.

The research effort, led by professor Adam Riess of The Johns Hopkins University, used data gathered by NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope to pin down the rate at which the Universe is ballooning. The team has come to the conclusion that the Universe is growing at a rate that’s approximately nine percent faster than previous estimates.
