Used Tesla Model S vehicles tend to sell faster than other used luxury sedans

%name Used Tesla Model S vehicles tend to sell faster than other used luxury sedans by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

There aren’t many items that depreciate in value quite like a car. Indeed, there’s an old rule of thumb which holds that a car will lose nearly 10% of its value the moment you drive it off the lot. While that might be a slight exaggeration, there is a kernel of truth to that old adage.

Tesla vehicles, like any other cars, are certainly prone to depreciation, but a number of studies in recent years have found that Tesla vehicles tend to retain more relative value than similarly priced luxury cars. Late last year, for instance, an Autolist study revealed that a Model S with 50,000 miles on it will see its value go down by 27% whereas a Mercedes S Class with 50,000 miles on it will experience a 33% drop in value.

T-Mobile says Verizon’s mmWave 5G won’t really benefit most Americans

%name T Mobile says Verizon’s mmWave 5G won’t really benefit most Americans by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

If we’re being honest, it’s been a while since we’ve seen a revolutionary new smartphone feature or technology hit the market. While that’s not to say that recent smartphone releases from the likes of Apple and Samsung have been boring, they haven’t exactly engendered waves of excitement either.

Which brings us to 5G. In recent months there has been a tremendous amount of hype surrounding the blazing fast speeds 5G will provide smartphone users. And though broad 5G coverage is still a long ways away, the reality is that 5G may prove to be more of an evolutionary upgrade as opposed to the revolutionary breakthrough we’ve been led to believe. Now this isn’t to say that 5G won’t offer discernible speed improvements, but rather that the actual speeds 5G will enable for most users won’t be as impressive as you might think.

Feds bust Texas family for Masters ticket scam that used stolen identities

This year’s Masters golf tournament turned out to be one for the ages, with the venerable Tiger Woods completing a historic return to form and besting a stacked field of competitors. Four members of a Texas family thought they could perform a similar feat, rising to the top of the Masters ticket lottery system using countless stolen identities to dramatically improve their chances of purchasing tickets for resale.

Stephen Michael Freeman, both of his parents, and his sister were all charged with federal crimes ranging from conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, aggravated identity theft, to basic conspiracy. Fines and up to 20 years in prison now await them.

Apple’s turn-around time for MacBook Pro repairs just got faster

%name Apple’s turn around time for MacBook Pro repairs just got faster by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

I wouldn’t go so far as to call the butterfly-switch keyboard design Apple introduced on its 2016 MacBook Pro a complete disaster, but it’s certainly not encouraging that the design continues to frustrate users nearly three years after first hitting store shelves.

Apple at the time boasted that the new keyboard design was 40% thinner than its predecessor while allowing for “greater precision” when typing. That notwithstanding, it’s been well-documented that the keyboard is prone to breaking down if even the slightest bit of debris manages to wedge itself underneath the keyboard. And though Apple has taken measures to make the keyboard more robust, the company just a few weeks ago acknowledged that some users are still experiencing usability issues with its third-gen butterfly keyboard design.

It’s now been a couple of weeks since Israel’s first attempt to land on the Moon was met with disaster at the last possible moment. The SpaceIL Beresheet lander crashed onto the Moon after what appeared to be some kind of engine failure in the final moments of approach, but new information is coming to light that suggests the engine may have had a good reason for shutting down.

A recent statement from SpaceIL offers a bit more context for the way the mission came to its unfortunate end, though plenty of questions remain.

Google considers replacing the back button with a swipe gesture in Android Q

%name Google considers replacing the back button with a swipe gesture in Android Q by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Android Q will bring a host of significant new features to the mobile operating system later this year, from a system-wide dark mode to 3D Touch-like pressure-based input. But Google might also be looking to change up some of the fundamental elements of Android, as the latest discovery from XDA Developers appears to suggest.

This week, one of XDA’s senior members spotted a new gesture experiment contained within Android Q. The gesture seems to give Android users the ability to go back by swiping on either the left or right side of the screen. The gesture has yet to be fully implemented, but, as Apple has proven with the iPhone X/XS, it is indeed possible to replace most physical and digital buttons with gesture controls. Google is at least considering following suit.

Netflix to raise $2 billion in debt to help fuel its obsession with original content

%name Netflix to raise $2 billion in debt to help fuel its obsession with original content by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

In January of 2013, Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos astutely laid Netflix’s content strategy on the table for all to see. “The goal is to become HBO faster than HBO can become us,” Sarandos said. He also added that Netflix, in stark opposition to networks that can’t help but micromanage every single aspect of the production process, would shy away from giving notes and would give content creators full-season commitments.

“The idea that they wouldn’t just pull the plug midway was totally thrilling,” Orange Is the New Black creator Jenji Kohan said at the time. “It’s similar to a pay-cable model but even more liberating. This is the future.”
