We’ve had laptops with support for 4G LTE connectivity of a few years now, including several Windows-on-ARM devices. Now that carriers have been lighting up their 5G networks, it’s likely notebook vendors will come out with always-connected 5G models.

Law enforcement agents who spend their days managing the flow of vehicles between the United States and Mexico must remain on the lookout for all kinds of illegal goods. There are drugs, of course, and drug busts tend to steal headlines, but smugglers and their cargo come in all types.

According to a press release, a vehicle attempting to cross the border in El Paso was busted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection agents for hauling meat. Not just any meat, mind you, this was particularly dangerous meat. I’m talking of course about bologna.

A man in Germany has died and his dog is being blamed for his passing. The dog didn’t bite or attack the man in any way, it simply licked him. The bizarre story is the subject of a new paper in the European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine, and it’s an important warning for pet owners.

The man first went to the doctor after experiencing three days of fever and difficulty breathing. His condition continued to deteriorate as medical staff attempted to determine the source of his symptoms. Ultimately his doctors narrowed it down to a simple lick from his only pet, a dog.

Everything comes full circle eventually, even when you’re a tech company that’s risen to prominence by offering a more compelling digital alternative to the physical world. To wit, we’ve seen Amazon open brick-and-mortar bookstores and grocery locations, and now here’s Netflix, which has reached a deal to keep Manhattan’s iconic Paris Theatre — the last such single-screen cinema in the area — open on a permanent basis, and as a home for Netflix screenings, events, and more.

The ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’ script was leaked and sold on eBay

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Leaks are seemingly impossible to avoid nowadays, but if there’s one company that continues to do an admirable job keeping its secrets under wraps, it’s Disney. Sure, there may have been a few too many spoilers online in the lead up to the release of Avengers: Endgame, but a month out from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, we still know virtually nothing about the movie’s plot. That may not come as much of a surprise, but speaking with Good Morning America on Monday, director J.J. Abrams revealed the full script actually did come frighteningly close to leaking.

Apple Watch is even saving the lives of doctors now by alerting them to heart conditions

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

At this point, there’s no shortage of Apple Watch users who credit this impressive piece of wearable tech with saving their life by alerting them to a potential heart condition. The watch can, of course, do a whole lot more, from alerting you to emails, playing music, and other mundane tasks, but each time one of these users steps forward to credit the device with catching a serious heart condition early, it offers a reminder of how meaningful a product the watch is — and that it’s not just another expensive gadget to shoehorn into your life.

In one of the latest cases, the user in question was someone you’d assume wouldn’t need a helpful nudge. He’s Dr. Ray Emerson, a 79-year-old Texas veterinarian who said he recently got a notification from the watch, which caused him to look down and notice that “[it] said you are in atrial fibrillation [AFib for short].”

%name Articles of Interest by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

It’s Black Friday week, which means plenty of shoppers will be purchasing a bunch of gifts for the upcoming holiday season, and gaming consoles will probably be on the list. PlayStation and Xbox gaming systems are cheaper than ever on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, and you’ve got plenty of exciting bundles to choose from.

This year, however, is different than past years, as we’re under a year away from the launch of the next-gen Sony and Microsoft consoles. If you were wondering whether buying a new console in late 2019 makes sense, given that the PS5 and Xbox Scarlett are on the way, well, we have an answer: Yes, it does. And you should still upgrade to the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Scarlett next fall.
