Tesla releases video showcasing the Roadster 2’s insane acceleration

%name Tesla releases video showcasing the Roadster 2’s insane acceleration by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Tesla CEO Elon Musk is famously prone to exaggeration, but he wasn’t kidding when he said that the company’s next-gen Roadster “will be the fastest production car ever made.” Originally introduced back in 2017, Tesla’s forthcoming Roadster — which features a brand new design and absolutely jaw-dropping specs — is currently scheduled to arrive sometime in 2020. Tesla, of course, has an unfortunate history of missing production schedules so it remains to be seen when deliveries of the next-gen Roadster will actually begin.

That aside, there’s no denying that the Roadster 2.0 is an absolute marvel of engineering with respect to overall power and acceleration. Specifically, the car boasts a 0-60 MPH time of 1.9 seconds, making it faster than a good number of supercars. What’s more, the next-gen Roadster can hit a speed of 100 MPH in just 4.2 seconds flat and can reach a top speed in excess of 250 MPH.

One of the best thing about Apple’s iPhones is that they can last for so long.

OnePlus 7 leaks keep dropping as the company starts to talk about the phone

%name OnePlus 7 leaks keep dropping as the company starts to talk about the phone by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Now that the release date of Samsung’s Galaxy Fold has been pushed back indefinitely, the stage has been cleared for another Android phone maker to steal the spotlight this spring. OnePlus might end up being the beneficiary, as the announcement of its next big launch event is taking place this Tuesday. In the lead-up to the announcement, OnePlus sat down with The Verge to discuss (in rather vague terms) what the OnePlus 7 family will look like.

The one part of the OnePlus 7 that CEO Pete Lau was most enthusiastic to discuss was the “super-smooth and very crisp” display. According to Lau, OnePlus spent three times as much developing this display as it has the displays on previous models. “The first time I saw it myself,” he told The Verge, “I was stunned.”

Florida man impersonating a cop accidentally pulled over a real undercover detective

%name Florida man impersonating a cop accidentally pulled over a real undercover detective by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

He’s attacked car salesmen and made up fake news stories, but “Florida Man” is back at it again, and this time it looks like he was just trying to keep his community safe from bad guys by impersonating a cop. Not a big deal! I mean who among us hasn’t donned a sheriff’s deputy uniform and stuck red and blue lights on our cars to do our civic duty for our friends and neighbors?

Unfortunately for Florida man Matthew Joseph Erris, he did the one thing you definitely shouldn’t do when pretending to be a law enforcement officer: messing with a real law enforcement officer. In this case, Erris set his sights on a man who, unbeknownst to him, is an undercover detective, and it wasn’t long before the fake cop’s cosplay stunt came crashing down around him.

Samsung delays Galaxy Fold indefinitely as it tries to fix multiple severe problems

%name Samsung delays Galaxy Fold indefinitely as it tries to fix multiple severe problems by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Samsung today officially acknowledged its intention to delay the launch of its highly-anticipated Galaxy Fold smartphone. The news shouldn’t come as much of a surprise given that a number of early review units handed out to prominent tech publications suffered from broken displays, a turn of events that can appropriately be categorized as an unabashed PR disaster.

The Galaxy Fold is undoubtedly an ambitious device, and while it’s always exciting to see companies take measures to raise the bar for innovation higher, it’s hard to see the Galaxy Fold, at this point, as anything more than a prototype that was poised for release well before it was ready for prime time.

Top Apple insider reveals when the first 5G iPhone will be released

%name Top Apple insider reveals when the first 5G iPhone will be released by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

It seems increasingly unlikely that Apple will enter the 5G era in 2019, but the pieces are beginning to fall into place for the company to take advantage of the technology in the near future. In a new research note, the incredibly prolific analyst Ming-Chi Kuo forecasts that Apple’s 2020 iPhone models will be the first to support 5G.

In order for Apple’s 5G ambitions to be realized, it will need to acquire 5G modems. That’s where Qualcomm comes into play. If you have been keeping up with the news in recent weeks, you probably heard about Apple and Qualcomm surprisingly settling their patent dispute. The settlement included a license and chipset supply agreement, which Kuo believes will result in Qualcomm becoming a primary supplier of 5G modems for the iPhone.
