In March, a Boeing 737 Max 8 airliner operated by Ethiopia Airlines crashed shortly after takeoff, killing all 157 people onboard. It was the second deadly crash of a 737 Max in just six months time, and it led to the grounding of every 737 Max plane around the world.

Now, as the investigation into the cause of the crashes is still ongoing, a recording obtained by CBS News indicates that pilots didn’t feel comfortable flying the planes even before the March crash. In the recordings, pilots from American Airlines can be heard grilling a Boeing official over the safety of the planes and the fact that they weren’t made aware of the stall-prevention feature that has now been linked to both deadly crashes.

Here’s what Samsung is doing to fix the Galaxy Fold’s embarrassing mistakes

%name Here’s what Samsung is doing to fix the Galaxy Fold’s embarrassing mistakes by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Samsung is still committed to an imminent relaunch of its super-expensive foldable handset. The one that was supposed to have been on the market by now but was yanked at the eleventh hour after high-profile reviewers and tech outlets found a slew of problems with the Galaxy Fold — which, it turns out, was unacceptably fragile for a device with a nearly $2,000 price tag.

We know Samsung is still committed to the device because the company keeps telling us so. And we also know the company is still committed because it’s racing to fix the sloppy work that dogged the first version of the Galaxy Fold to ensure that it’s finally ready for prime time.

%name Millions of Americans will skip work Monday or show up late because of ‘Game of Thrones’ by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

A slump in productivity is coming.

Okay, that doesn’t have the same ring to it as “Winter is coming,” but for Game of Thrones fans, at least, the statement is no less true. Several million Americans, it seems, are planning to either be late, skip work completely or be less productive on Monday as a result of staying up to watch the last-ever episode on Sunday as the eighth and final season of the smash hit HBO fantasy drama draws to a close.

Latest Galaxy Note 10 leak points to a massive improvement people will love

%name Latest Galaxy Note 10 leak points to a massive improvement people will love by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Say what you will about Samsung, but the company’s penchant for throwing everything against the wall in order to see what sticks certainly keeps things interesting. With that said, 2019 appears to be a typical year for Samsung insofar that the company released some solid devices with its S10 line while also finding itself reeling from the downright laughable Galaxy Fold fiasco.

Hardly a surprise, that’s how things seem to go for Samsung these days; every success is tempered by an embarrassing failure of some sort. And through it all, Samsung keeps chugging along, releasing new products with impressive frequency. Which brings us, of course, to the Galaxy Note 10, a device that will likely be unveiled sometime this coming August.

We may never sleep again after watching this spider shoot itself at prey like a slingshot

%name We may never sleep again after watching this spider shoot itself at prey like a slingshot by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Spiders might not be the most pleasant creatures to see lurking around your home, but they serve an important purpose in dispatching flies and other pests that would otherwise be left unchecked. Many spiders are passive hunters, weaving webs and simply waiting for an unsuspecting insect to get stuck, but a new study by researchers at the University of Akron reveals that one particular spider species likes to use its own body as a projectile, and it’s actually kind of terrifying.

In the study, which was published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, scientists observed the peculiar hunting habits of triangle-weaver spiders Hyptiotes cavatus. Ambushing prey is something that most spiders are skilled at, but triangle weavers take things to the next level by using their own webs to fling their bodies at high speeds.
