%name Samsung’s deepfake technology is getting scary by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Deepfake technology has been getting insanely good, with just the last few days and weeks chock-a-block with examples of everything from the Mona Lisa being animated to life and photos of dead celebrities and notables like Albert Einstein seeming to come to life with realistic speech and facial movements.

The implications are particularly ominous for currently living celebrities and notable people, such as the deepfake video of Mark Zuckerberg that circulated recently, as well as this one of Kim Kardashian.

NASA just set preliminary dates for its commercial crew launches, with SpaceX in the lead

%name NASA just set preliminary dates for its commercial crew launches, with SpaceX in the lead by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

There’s a space race happening right now. It’s not between the United States and Russia, or any nations at all, for that matter, but it’s definitely happening. It’s a race between SpaceX and Boeing to be the first company to deliver a crew-capable spacecraft to NASA, and it’s been filled with twists, turns, and delays since the very start.

Now, a new preliminary planning schedule for NASA’s “Commercial Crew” program hints that SpaceX might ultimately be the victor, but it’s far from a sure thing.

This is the weekend. That is, if you’re a Toy Story fan, because the fourth and final episode in the franchise is hitting cinemas, and it’s expected to set an opening record for the series. Also out this week is Anna, which feels like a preview for Black Widow — you know what the kind of stuff Natasha did before joining the good guys. Finally, there’s also a horror story premiering this weekend, about a kid getting a toy with a dark personality: Child’s Play. I’ll also remind you that some theaters will play a re-release of Avengers: Endgame as soon as this weekend, featuring six more minutes of content after the credits.

The ring around Uranus has a warm glow

%name The ring around Uranus has a warm glow by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Saturn is well known as the planet with rings, but it’s hardly the only one. As it turns out, rings around planets aren’t all that rare, and at least a few of the planets in our solar system have them. Uranus is one of those worlds, and while its rings are so faint they weren’t even spotted until the late 1970s, scientists have shown a great deal of interest in them.

Now, a new observation campaign by scientists using Chile’s Very Large Telescope and Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) provides us with a rather unique look at the rings of Uranus.

E. Coli scare leads to multi-state recall of brownie mix

%name E. Coli scare leads to multi state recall of brownie mix by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

With the weekend upon us it might seem like a lovely time to make yourself a tasty treat. If you’ve got a box of brownie mix in your pantry — and you happen to live in Alabama, Iowa, Ohio, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, New York, or South Carolina — you might want to think again.

The FDA just posted a new product recall bulletin for cookie and brownie mixes sold in those states, and the risks of accidentally consuming the tainted product could be high. The flour used in the various mixes may be contaminated with E. Coli.
