Two NASA astronauts are currently outside the International Space Station on the second of several planned spacewalks to replace batteries affixed to the outside of the spacecraft. The duo, Andrew Morgan and Christina Koch, are currently maneuvering around the exterior of the space station as they remove old batteries and attach new, more efficient replacements.

As is often the case, NASA is live streaming the entire event from start to finish, giving us a glimpse at what it takes to walk in space and perform maintenance on one of the most complex pieces of machinery ever sent into space. You can watch it live right here.

Of all the phones that were launched in the second half of 2019, only three of them feature next-gen processors. And of those, only two are chips we’re actually going to see in use throughout 2020. Some versions of Galaxy Note 10, all of Apple’s iPhone 11 models, and the Mate 30 flagships from Huawei all pack 7nm EUV processors, although it’s just Apple’s A13 Bionic and Huawei’ Kirin 990 chips that are really next-gen components. Samsung will likely launch a new Exynos chip for the upcoming Galaxy S11 smartphone, and it’ll use Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 865 for S11 versions in the United States and China. The 865 will also power several other 2020 flagship handsets like the OnePlus 8 and Pixel 5, although the chip will not be unveiled until later this year. Nevertheless, a well-known leaker says the Snapdragon 865 will be an improvement, but it still won’t be able to touch the iPhone 11’s performance.

Apple’s iPhones always crush their Android-powered counterparts in key benchmark tests. In fact, new Android flagship phones have been known to fall short of iPhones that are one year old, or even two years old. Take this year’s iPhone 11 series, for example. The flagship iPhone 11 Pro scores around 5,500 in the single-core Geekbench test, while multi-core scores tend to fall between 13,700 and 13,800. To put that in perspective, the OnePlus 7 Pro and Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ both feature 2019 Snapdragon processors and a whopping 12GB of RAM, which is triple the 4GB of RAM in the iPhone 11 Pro. So how do they perform in the same Geekbench tests? Single-core scores for both phones are in the 3,000 range, while multi-core scores are in the low 11,000s.

There are plenty of factors that contribute to the iPhone’s performance advantages over Android smartphones, but they’re almost all accounted for with one simple statement: Apple controls as much of the iPhone as it can, on a component level. Apple doesn’t just develop a new iPhone design and then stuff other companies’ software and parts into it. Instead, Apple designs the hardware, it develops its own iOS software, and it even makes its own A-series chipsets to power the devices. By developing all of these key pieces side by side, the end result is far better optimized than a phone made by an Android vendor can ever hope to be. Now, according to a new report, Apple is looking to take control of yet another key piece of the iPhone puzzle.

I’m sad to say I’ve never really considered what it means for a person with a serious vision impairment to get from point A to point B without being able to rely on what’s probably the most important basic human sense. That is, I never considered it until I saw Google’s new feature that was just added to Google Maps. You probably haven’t either, unless you’re either affected or directly exposed to it. I obviously hope I’ll never have to use the feature, but I’m sure glad it’s there to help others who are about to benefit tremendously from it.

Then again, if you prefer to keep your computer plugged in at one place, there’s always the HP Slimline Desktop. This slender modem won’t take up much area at your desk and you’ll get reliable performance for only $300! With the Intel® Pentium® Silver Processor, you can get all you want out of that $300 and you can get it fast.

Earlier this week, we told you about an incredible deal on Disney+, the upcoming streaming service that most people agree is the one must-have streamer in addition to Netflix. It’s already an absolutely incredible value at just $6.99 per month, and you can chop that price to $5.83 if you pay by the year. For that tiny fee, you get loads of exclusive content including all the blockbuster Marvel Cinematic Universe movies that have been released so far, the entire series of The Simpsons, Disney movies and shows, National Geographic content, every single Pixar movie, and plenty more. On top of all that, there will be tons of new original content created specifically for Disney+, such as The Mandalorian from the Star Wars cinematic universe, a bunch of new Disney series, and all sorts of exclusive new series from the Marvel Cinematic Universe like WandaVision, Falcon and the Winter Soldier, What If…?, and others.

It’s an incredible value indeed, but there’s a killer deal right now that will have you paying less than the normal $7 rate each month, and even less than the $5.83 annual rate. Hurry up and you can take advantage of a special deal we found that slashes the price of Disney+ to just $4.72 each month! That will save you a whopping $82 over the next 3 years compared to paying the standard monthly rate for Disney+, and it’s pretty much a no-brainer. Why are we telling you about it again just a few days after we discovered it? Because today is your last day to sign up with this fantastic discount.
