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

The Galaxy S11 is several months away, but we’ve already seen a bunch of exciting rumors about Samsung’s upcoming flagship phone. Camera performance seems to be the signature feature of the Galaxy S11 series, considering all the recent leaks that have detailed several camera innovations that Samsung might be working on — the phone could sport a 108-megapixel primary sensor paired with a periscope camera that supports 5x zoom; and Samsung might add 3D sensors to both the front and rear camera systems. The S11 phones might also feature 3D face recognition like the iPhone, some leaks said, which would be a significant upgrade for the Galaxy S line. A brand new rumor now details one other major Galaxy S11 upgrade, one that’s ready to challenge the iPhone 11 phones in a major way.

Scientists spot sneaky squid spying on seafloor survey

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

Most of Earth is covered by oceans, and when you’re way up near the surface, the wildlife you spot is usually predictable. Dive down a bit and things start to change, and the deeper you go, the more bizarre the sights. By the time you reach the ocean floor, you might as well have traveled to an alien planet.

We’ve seen plenty of strange things thanks to scientific expeditions conducted by scientists using remotely-operated vehicles that explore the deep. In a recent posting by the NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research, one of those vehicles is seen scouring the seafloor for interesting sights, but it’s the creature lurking behind its back that is particularly interesting, and maybe a little frightening.

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

For the past several years, Facebook has been trying to convince users and authorities that it will take user data security and privacy more seriously. But then something happens that reminds everyone why they never trusted Facebook in the first place, and everything it says should be taken with a grain of salt.

Take the latest revelations about the company’s handling of user data from a few years ago. Emails that were just made public show that Facebook decided to stop providing companies it perceived as potential rivals access to user data, and then disguised it as a move that would improve user privacy on the network.

The next time many of you reading this upgrade your smartphone, it’s not likely you’ll choose one with a foldable form factor that manufacturers like Samsung are so keen to see become a mainstream product.

Indeed, Samsung’s launch of its first foldable smartphone this year, the Galaxy Fold, proved to be a bit of a mess, if we’re putting it mildly. Nevertheless, the South Korea-based consumer electronics giant is not giving up — and, in fact, is doubling down on foldables — to the degree that in 2020, the company is reportedly hopeful it can sell at least several million. That’s the ambition, at any rate.

As 2019 draws to a close, with the US ban against Huawei now having lasted around six months give or take, the company’s 75-year-old billionaire founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei has a message for everyone. He doesn’t expect the US to take Huawei off its blacklist anytime soon, and he’s now basically telling people — screw it, the US can be that way, see if I care. “They may as well keep us there forever because we’ll be fine without them,” Zhengfei railed in a new interview on Wednesday.

Astronauts aboard the ISS just got a shipment of wine… but they’re not allowed to drink it

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

Astronauts who live on the International Space Station work hard. They don’t really have a choice in the matter since they live at the office. They conduct science experiments, work hand-in-hand with researchers back on Earth, and perform vital maintenance on the orbiting laboratory to ensure it continues to function as needed.

When they finally get some downtime, their options for leisure activities are slim, so you’d expect that a recent supply mission that delivered a dozen bottles of red wine would be a cause for celebration. Unfortunately for the high-flying scientists, they’re not allowed even a sip.
