  • Hyperlocal weather app Dark Sky has been purchased by Apple. Though the terms of the deal are still unclear, it will take effect immediately.
  • Dark Sky will remain available as an app for iOS, but will likely be rolled into iOS by default at some point in the not-so-distant future.
  • Android users of the app will see it disappear as of July 1st, 2020. Those who remain subscribed at that point will receive a refund, according to the company.

Dark Sky, the beloved hyperlocal weather app that is a hit on both iOS and Android, is now under new management. Dark Sky announced today that it “has joined Apple,” signaling a new future where the app’s key features are likely to be integrated into Apple’s default weather experience. Unfortunately for Android users, this means the end of an app that may be one of your favorites.

If you’ve dabbled in weather apps for your smartphone at all over the past several years you’ve no doubt come across Dark Sky. Its simple design and down-to-the-minute forecasting for the hour ahead have made it a massive success on both the App Store and Google Play. As is often the case with apps that innovate, it was bound to be snapped up by a larger fish sooner or later, and it now appears that fish is Apple.

Apple just released iOS 13.4.5 beta for developers

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • Apple recently released iOS 13.4 to the general public as well as iPadOS 13.4, which means it’s time for a new developer beta.
  • iOS 13.4.5 beta for the iPhone and iPadOS 13.4.5 beta for iPad models are both available for download right now.
  • The updates aren’t major, but they do fix a few pesky bugs and they introduce a couple of nifty new features as well.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

iOS 13.4 was just released for the iPhone earlier this week along with iPadOS 13.4 for the iPad. So why is Apple jumping straight to iOS 13.4.5 beta 1 for developers on Tuesday? That’s a terrific question, and we have no idea what the answer is. All we know is the first developer beta of iOS 13.4.5 beta has indeed been released for the iPhone, and iPadOS 13.4.5 beta 1 has been released for compatible iPad models. As for what’s new, don’t get too excited. Apart from bug fixes, the biggest news appears to be iCloud Folder Sharing and trackpad support for the iPad. You can expect plenty of other little updates as well as a bunch of bug fixes though, so you should definitely download and install it now if you’re a developer… or if you have an Apple developer account.

Coronavirus study says patients may be contagious for days after symptoms disappear

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • A new study looking at the contagiousness of hospitalized coronavirus patients says they may be infectious even after the symptoms disappear.
  • The limited study advises isolation for patients thought to have been cured of COVID-19.
  • The results might be especially useful for milder COVID-19 cases that are treated at home, or for those patients who aren’t even tested for the novel coronavirus but suspect an infection.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

With each day that goes by during the novel coronavirus pandemic, we find out more details about this invisible but powerful enemy that has conquered the world. As of Tuesday morning, there were more than 800,000 cases of COVID-19 internationally, and nearly 40,000 victims. Extreme social distancing measures combined with proper hygiene practices can help flatten the curve, but we also need to learn how to treat and cure COVID-19 as fast as possible. The quicker the illness is diagnosed, the better the prognosis, especially for at-risk patients. But a new study says that hospitals shouldn’t hurry to discharge COVID-19 patients as fast as possible, as some of them might be contagious even after the symptoms disappear.

Patients are sent home after two consecutive negative tests, so the discharge process is more complicated than just assessing symptoms. But the findings are relevant for determining a proper course of treatment, especially for the milder cases that end up being treated at home. Also, similar studies could be used to determine guidelines for people who think they have had the disease while in isolation at home, but haven’t been tested. Asymptomatic patients don’t qualify for testing in many countries, since there’s a worldwide shortage of kits.

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • Wi-Fi smart plugs are common enough now that most people understand how great they are, but many people still aren’t aware that they’re overpaying if they buy smart plugs from a big-name brand.
  • Smaller brands offer the same great functionality in their smart plugs at a fraction of the price, and there’s a deal on Amazon right now that perfectly illustrates that fact.
  • TanTan Mini Wi-Fi Smart Plugs are among the best-selling options out there right now, and you can get them from Amazon for just $5.25 apiece today thanks to a special limited-time coupon.

Wi-Fi smart plugs are the easiest smart home devices to use and they also happen to be among the most versatile, due to the very nature of the product. They’re meant to be used with traditional “dumb” devices that don’t have built-in Wi-Fi connectivity or smarts. By plugging a device like a fan or a lamp into a smart plug and then plugging the smart plug into the wall, you’ll be able to control that device with your smartphone or tablet, on a smart schedule, or even using your voice thanks to Alexa and Google Assistant support.

TanTan Mini Wi-Fi Smart Plugs are some of the best-selling plugs on Amazon right now, and it’s easy to see why. They offer all the same features you would get with an expensive plug from a big-name brand, but for a fraction of the price. And today, that fraction is even smaller than usual. A 10% coupon you can clip on the Amazon page slashes the price to $29.99, but you can also use the special promo code 302LHN3C at checkout to cut the cost of a 4-pack to just $20.99. That works out to only $5.25 per plug, and it’s one of the best deals we have ever come across for top-rated Wi-Fi smart plugs.

Sony just delayed all of its biggest movies of the year until 2021

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • Sony announced on Monday that many of its biggest movies set to release this year have been delayed.
  • Morbius, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, Peter Rabbit 2, and Uncharted all moved to 2021 due to coronavirus.
  • An untitled movie from Sony and Marvel has been delayed indefinitely as well.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

One of the more interesting consequences of the novel coronavirus pandemic has been the temporary disappearance of the movie theater. Until the United States gets a handle on the COVID-19 outbreak, the last place anyone wants to be is in a small room surrounded by dozens of people for two hours or more. Therefore, it’s unlikely that theaters will be open to the public again any time soon, and thus movie studios have had to adapt.

The balance those studios have to strike is a difficult one, as some movies are better suited to release on digital than others. While Pixar’s new movie Onward likely would have done well at the box office, it wasn’t expected to break any records and Disney had already spent months marketing it, so releasing it early made sense. But the same cannot be said of Sony’s 2020 blockbusters, many of which were delayed this week.

Amazon has a rare chance to save on Philips Hue’s best-selling bulbs

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • Everyone knows that Philips Hue makes the best and most versatile LED smart light bulbs on the market right now, but not everyone buys them and there’s a good reason for that.
  • Since Philips Hue bulbs are the best, the company charges shockingly high prices for some of its most popular light bulbs — and those prices scare many people away.
  • Philips Hue bulbs don’t go on save very often these days, but Amazon has two great deals on the company’s most popular smart LED light bulb ever, which can now be had for as little as $39.49 each instead of $50.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

When it comes to smart lighting setups, there are two different types of people out there. The first group of people opts for Philips Hue, the undisputed king of anything and everything involving LED smart lighting. Philips Hue makes pretty much every different kind of smart lighting product you can imagine, and they’re extremely popular so they integrate with any other smart home gear you might have around the house.

Then there’s the second group of people, who opt for a different smart lighting brand for one main reason: Philips Hue lighting products are very expensive.

We would never begrudge anyone who falls into that second camp, and there are definitely lots of brands out there that offer smart LED lighting products that are almost as good. Nothing is truly on par with Philips Hue in terms of selection or versatility though, which is why we always try to tell you when the company’s pricey LED lights go on sale. And as it turns out, there’s a great sale right now that you should definitely check out if you want to expand your smart lighting setup without paying top dollar.

Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance 2-Pack A19 LED Smart Bulb, Bluetooth & Zigbee compatible (…: $78.97 ($39.49 each)

First and foremost, the Philips Hue White and Color Ambiance A19 LED Smart Bulb is the single most popular bulb Philips Hue makes. It’s great, but this popular light bulb normally sells for $50. That’s right… $50 for a single A19 light bulb, which is basically the regular size bulb that fits into most lamps and fixtures. Philips Hue’s A19 multicolor bulb supports 16 million different colors along with all the other bells and whistles you can expect from a Hue bulb, and that’s why it’s so pricey. But if you grab a 2-pack of these popular multicolor bulbs today at Amazon, you’ll only have to pay $78.97. That works out to just $39.49 per bulb and it’s a bigger discount than Amazon was offering during Black Friday and Cyber Week last year. That said, there’s no question that the seller offering them at this price will sell out fast, so you’ll have to hurry if you want them.

If you only want one bulb or you need an odd number, you can also buy an individual A19 multicolor bulbs for $42 instead of $50. And if you don’t need colors at all and just want dimmable white Philips Hue smart light bulbs, they’re $10.50 a piece when you buy a 4-pack of refurbs.

  • The helmet is shaped like the virus, and officer Rajesh Babu uses it to warn commuters of the danger of ignoring social distancing orders.
  • The pandemic has claimed nearly 30 lives in India and over 1,000 people are infected.

Police in India are struggling to keep people from leaving their homes and breaking the nationwide lockdown now in place to protect citizens from the novel coronavirus pandemic. The virus is spreading rapidly in the country of over 1.3 billion people. Now, one officer has come up with his own technique for capturing the attention of pedestrians and commuters: a coronavirus helmet.

As CNN reports, Rajesh Babu of Chennai, India, now wears a motorcycle helmet covered in red paint and rounded spikes while doing his daily rounds. The helmet, which was designed by a local artist, resembles the coronavirus, and Babu uses it as a tool to get the attention of travelers who don’t seem to think the pandemic is a big deal.

  • Almost no nonessential items on Amazon are being delivered before mid-to-late April right now, but we found a terrific deal on some best-selling in-ear headphones that will arrive at your home in just a few days.
  • The Mpow Flame Bluetooth Headphones have been among the best-selling earbuds on Amazon for years, having amassed more than 18,000 5-star ratings over that period.
  • Today, Mpow’s wildly popular earphones are on sale at a new all-time low price thanks to a discount and an extra coupon you can clip on Amazon’s product page.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

You can’t really begrudge Amazon for shifting its focus right now away from nonessential products right now so that it can free up shipping capacity and warehouse space for more important things like medical supplies and cleaners. With the novel coronavirus outbreak only getting worse in the United States, it certainly makes sense to prioritize essential items. That said, there are still plenty of “nonessentials” we all need to get by, especially while those of us who are responsible are cooped up in self-quarantine.

Anyone looking for a new pair of wireless earbuds right now will be happy to learn about the deal we came across on Mpow Flame Bluetooth Headphones. Many of you will likely recognize the name since they have been among the best-selling wireless earphones on Amazon for many years now. They first launched at about $30 and were a fantastic value at that price, but they’ve gradually come down over the years and now have a retail price of just $19.99 in the most popular color, black/red.

$19.99 is indeed a terrific value for Bluetooth earbuds with more than 18,000 5-star ratings on Amazon, but on Tuesday they’ve fallen to a new all-time low price. A 21% discount on Amazon plus an extra 10% coupon you can clip on the product page slash the price all the way down to just $14.26. On top of that, they ship out right away so they’ll be in your hands in just a few days. We’re not sure when or even if they’ll ever be on sale this cheap again, so grab a pair while you can.

CDC might ask the general public to start using coronavirus face masks

  • The CDC is reportedly considering changing its coronavirus guidelines to recommend the use of masks by the general public.
  • There’s nothing definitive yet, but the new policy would advise the public to go for do-it-yourself solutions instead of the surgical and N95 masks that are so desperately needed in the healthcare sector.
  • Some hospitals are running short on personal protective equipment (PPE), and a run on masks should be avoided.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

The CDC reiterated its guidelines concerning the use of face masks a few days ago in response to rumors that said those policies would change.
