Everything new coming to Disney+ in April 2020

%name Everything new coming to Disney+ in April 2020 by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • New shows and movies streaming on Disney+ in April 2020 have been revealed.
  • In celebration of Earth Month, Disney is adding a collection of documentaries, series, and films from National Geographic and Disneynature to Disney+.
  • Some other highlights in April include National Treasure, Doctor Doolittle, and Clone Wars.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Of all the months for the release schedule on Disney+ to slow to a crawl, this certainly wasn’t the best choice. If there is one streaming service that has been impacted by the coronavirus pandemic most noticeably, it’s got to be Disney+, as virtually all of the big shows set to arrive on the service in the coming months have had to stop production due to the virus. That includes every Marvel show currently in development.

Unfortunately, Disney+ doesn’t have much to make up for the missing shows in the meantime. The only real highlights this month (at least in terms of what I recognize) are National Treasure and several new episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It’s fairly barren otherwise, though the Earth Month collection looks intriguing.

Marvel insider says ‘Black Widow’ delay won’t ruin MCU Phase 4

%name Marvel insider says ‘Black Widow’ delay won’t ruin MCU Phase 4 by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • Disney delayed several movie premieres because of the coronavirus, including Black Widow, the introduction to Phase 4 of the MCU.
  • Unlike standalone movies, Black Widow is tied to a much bigger universe of intertwined adventures, and its delay might affect the MCU timeline.
  • An insider now says that postponing Black Widow won’t ruin the MCU timeline, though.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Disney confirmed that Black Widow will be delayed due to the coronavirus a few days ago, which wasn’t necessarily a surprise, considering that other studios had been doing the same. Sony’s No Time to Die and Universal’s Fast and Furious 9 are two such examples. And Black Widow wasn’t even Disney’s first cancelation, as the premieres of both Mulan and The New Mutants were pushed back days earlier.

But Black Widow, unlike many of those other movies, is part of a much bigger universe, being the first movie of Marvel’s MCU Phase 4. A Black Widow delay might ruin Marvel and Disney’s schedule, which we explained a few weeks ago. Now an insider says that’s not going to be the case.

%name iOS 14 leaks continue: New CarPlay, Apple Maps features on the way by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • Early analysis of the iOS 14 code has identified a ton of news related to Apple’s hardware and software roadmap for the rest of this year.
  • And the leaks, which have already included everything from a potentially life-saving new Apple Watch feature to a new iPhone 9 model, keep coming.
  • The tech blog 9to5Mac has continued its look at an early iOS 14 build and found still more new features on the way related to CarPlay as well as Apple Maps.

As we’ve noted in a number of previous posts, iOS 14 leaks have revealed a slew of early insights about Apple’s product and software roadmap for the rest of 2020. Everything from a new iPhone 9 model to a variety of HomeKit improvements, new iOS gestures, and a potentially life-saving new Apple Watch feature that measures blood-oxygen levels have all been discovered thanks to the analysis of an early iOS 14 build from blogs like 9to5Mac.

And the iOS 14 leaks keep coming, with additional analysis of the source code revealing more new software offerings Apple apparently has planned, including CarPlay additions as well as at least one key new feature involving Apple Maps.

%name Sling TV launches free tier with live news for people stuck at home by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

A drug called losartan might help us beat coronavirus

%name A drug called losartan might help us beat coronavirus by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • Scientists from the University of Minnesota are testing the blood pressure drug losartan to see if it can prevent COVID-19 infection or reduce symptoms.
  • The drug, which is a widely-available generic medication, may help by blocking a site on cells that is used by the virus.
  • Doctors are also testing the malaria medication hydroxychloroquine to see if it can help stem the tide of the pandemic.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

A generic blood pressure medication may ultimately help doctors fight back against the spread of the novel coronavirus and COVID-19, the disease that results from an infection. As Reuters reports, scientists at the University of Minnesota are attempting to determine whether the drug can prevent the virus from causing severe symptoms and perhaps even prevent the rapid multiplication of the virus within the body.

Losartan, also sold under the brand name Cozaar, blocks a specific receptor on cells that the virus may exploit. Preventing the virus from binding to cells could dramatically alter the recovery time of a patient with the virus or even curb the spread of the pandemic as a whole. First, however, we need to know that it works.

EU wants Netflix to downgrade its streaming quality, and that’s fantastic news

%name EU wants Netflix to downgrade its streaming quality, and that’s fantastic news by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • The European Union has asked Netflix to downgrade the quality of its video streams to SD to reduce the strain on networks.
  • More people in the EU are staying at home because of the coronavirus, and they’re consuming more content online whether it’s due to working from home, schoolwork, or entertainment.
  • Netflix isn’t the only service seeing a surge in activity, with Facebook’s WhatsApp and Messenger seeing more than double their usual levels of traffic.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

UPDATE: Netflix has agreed to reduce the quality of its streaming content in Europe to help reduce the strain on networks in the region. “Following the discussions between Commissioner Thierry Breton and Reed Hastings — and given the extraordinary challenges raised by the coronavirus — Netflix has decided to begin reducing bit rates across all our streams in Europe for 30 days,” a Netflix spokesperson said in a statement.

EARLIER: Governments around the world have been declaring national emergencies and instituting various types of measures meant to enforce social distancing because medical systems need time to deal with the potentially massive influx of COVID-19 patients. Treatment is possible but might require intensive care for some patients, including access to ventilators to help with breathing. It turns out that having too many people isolating themselves at home may have an unexpected side effect, at least in the European Union. Authorities have already asked Netflix to reduce movie streaming quality because networks are under increased strain. While you may be annoyed to see your 4K or Full HD streams downgraded to SD quality, the EU’s request has a silver lining in it that might not be immediately obvious.

Trust me, if you own an Apple Watch you need this $19 accessory

%name Trust me, if you own an Apple Watch you need this $19 accessory by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • The Apple Watch has the opposite problem as Apple’s iPhones: It comes with a cable that’s way too long instead of way too short.
  • It can also be annoying to have yet another cable you need to remember to pack when you travel.
  • The MQOUNY Portable Apple Watch Charger solves the problem — it’s a wonderfully compact portable Apple Watch charger that’s on sale right now for just $18.99.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

There are some products that have such a meaningful impact on your routine that once you start using them, you really can’t imagine life without them. It doesn’t have to be something big or even something expensive. It just has to be something that meets a need and makes your life easier, and such is the case with the MQOUNY Portable Apple Watch Charger.

This awesome little gadget — which, by the way, is on sale right now on Amazon for just $18.99 — is a real lifesaver. There are so many times when I forget to take my Apple Watch off at night to charge it on my bed-side table. Since it barely lasts for one day on a charge, getting through a second day without recharging it is impossible. That’s why I now always carry the MQOUNY portable charger with me in my bag.

It has a wireless charging disc just like the regular Apple Watch charger, plus it has a USB plug right on the side so you can connect it to any laptop or USB wall adapter to charge. But the best part is you don’t even need to plug it in to charge your Apple watch because it has a built-in battery that lasts for two or three full Apple Watch charges before it needs to be recharged itself!

MQOUNY for Apple Watch Wireless Charger,Portable iWatch Charger Magnetic Wireless Charger 1000m…: $18.99

All you have to do to appreciate how great it is to carry this little portable charger on you is to read the reviews on Amazon — like this one:

I always forget to charge my Apple Watch for some reason and when I get to work, I end up with a dead watch halfway through my day. This has come in so extremely handy to keep my watch charged on the days that it’s dying. And I don’t have to travel with my cable watch charger. It is also very compact and the cap for the USB is attached so I’ll never lose it!

Or this one:

Finally a portable Apple Watch Charger! I’ve been so sick of using the cord and a power bank. This combines the two. The Apple Watch is about 250 Mah and this boasts a 1000mah so theoretically 4 charges which should get you a total of one week’s use if you charge every other day. It can be plugged in and used as a standard charger or for traveling. It has an indicator light as well as a tether to the cap so it won’t get lost. Great little addition!

And this one:

I love this charger. So much I bought one for my boss for his birthday last week. It’s so small and lightweight I keep it in my purse. I’ll wake up many mornings and discover my watch didn’t charge. I can’t stand a day without my watch working. Especially because I track my exercise and it’s important to me. This little gadget is great. And a great gift. What a fun find.

Plus, this one:

I love having this charger, it has definitely come in handy. It’s nice and compact for a great travel charger. I usually carry it around my pocket around because it is nice and small and my watch seems to always die because I forget to charge it. I had my watch a year before I got this charger and this charger seems like it should have been a must have! I would definitely recommend this!

There are plenty more where those came from, but you get the idea. It’s so awesome to be able to completely stop worrying about forgetting to charge your Apple Watch. It’s also awesome to not have to worry about traveling with Apple’s crazy-long charging cable. For just $18.99, you really can’t go wrong — it’s a game-changer! Of note, there are a bunch of other great Apple Watch accessories on sale today on Amazon, so definitely check them out.

Researchers have proven that coronavirus isn’t a man-made bioweapon

%name Researchers have proven that coronavirus isn’t a man made bioweapon by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • A team of international researchers has used the SARS-CoV-2 genome to study the origin of the virus that causes the COVID-19 disease.
  • The researchers found that the coronavirus evolved naturally, rejecting ideas that it could have been manufactured artificially in a laboratory for use as a bioweapon.
  • The scientists have two different scenarios as to how the virus mutated to attack human hosts, and both involve acquiring a precursor of the novel coronavirus virus from animals.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

As amazing modern technology might be when it comes to dealing with a pandemic like the novel coronavirus when it comes to staying updated on developments and dealing with boredom while practicing social distancing, there’s also a huge side-effect that needs addressing. The spread of fake news, myths, and conspiracy theories that surround COVID-19 are real things that are happening online. Tech giants including Facebook, Google, and Twitter, are already taking steps to prevent the spread of misinformation, which can only sow further panic. And it turns out that scientists are ready to provide plenty of answers that should stop some of the misinformation campaigns happening online.

Researchers have been able to determine that the novel coronavirus pandemic is a natural event and that the SARS-CoV-2 virus isn’t a man-made bioweapon, as you might have heard from that friend or family member of yours who keeps forwarding conspiracy theories to your phone.

New coronavirus test can return results in 30 minutes

%name New coronavirus test can return results in 30 minutes by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • Oxford scientists have developed a new test for the coronavirus that returns a result in as little as 30 minutes, far faster than any existing test.
  • The test is highly accurate and can detect even the earliest stages of the infection, making it a great tool for the healthcare community.
  • A device is being developed to make the test easy to use by doctors and patients alike, but it’s unclear when it might be available for widespread use.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

A new coronavirus test developed by scientists at the University of Oxford could prove to be a vital weapon against the rapid spread of COVID-19. The test, which was developed specifically to detect the novel coronavirus, can return results in as little as 30 minutes.

One of the biggest hurdles to quickly and accurately mapping the spread of the coronavirus pandemic has been not only the distribution of test kits but the time it takes for those tests to produce either a positive or negative result. Many of the earliest tests took days before doctors knew the result, but that was shortened to less than a day, and newer tests often return results in anywhere from a few hours to 90 minutes.

Secret sale saves you 20% on Kindle or Kindle Paperwhite eReaders

%name Secret sale saves you 20% on Kindle or Kindle Paperwhite eReaders by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • Amazon’s Kindle lineup of eReaders is by far the most popular brand in the world, and it doesn’t have any close competition at all.
  • Perhaps for that reason, and because Kindles are so well-made and feature-rich, Kindle eBook readers like the all-new Kindle and Kindle Paperwhite are quite pricey.
  • Buy any one of the aforementioned Kindle book readers and you’ll pay full price right now — but there’s a secret sale today on Amazon that offers huge savings if you buy two Kindle devices at the same time.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Look, we’re all starting to feel it right now. The COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic is likely the most terrifying event of this generation and things are going to get much worse before they start to get any better. But there’s one important thing that you have to keep reminding yourself: things will get better. We must all be vigilant in practicing social distancing and self-quarantining as much as possible. The more we can slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, the better the care we’ll receive when some of us inevitably do get sick. Self-quarantining and washing your hands as thoroughly and as often as possible is even more important than social distancing, and we all need to remember that. Stay home.

Needless to say, self-quarantining is going to get very boring, very quickly. In fact, if you’re one of the responsible people who have already been staying home for several days or even a week now, there’s a good chance that you’re already starting to get a bit stir-crazy. You can definitely still go outside, of course, and it’s a great idea to take walks around town (as long as you stay away from other people) or to go on hikes. But you’re going to be spending a whole lot more time inside than you are outside in the coming weeks or even months, so it’s important to keep yourself occupied.

Why not catch up on some reading?

Browse around Amazon right now and you won’t find any mention of a sale on Kindle devices. At least, not until you actually visit the product pages for either the Kindle or the Kindle Paperwhite. There, you’ll find a tiny note that informs you of a fantastic sale that’s available right now for a limited time only. Buy any one Kindle device and you’ll pay full price. But if you purchase two Kindles you will automatically save 20% at checkout! The offer applies to both the waterproof Kindle Paperwhite and to the all-new Kindle, so definitely take advantage before this deal is done. Also, keep in mind that it doesn’t have to be two of the same model, so you can buy one of each and still save 20%

Kindle Paperwhite – Now Waterproof with 2x the Storage – Includes Special Offers: Buy two, save 20%

All-new Kindle – Now with a Built-in Front Light – Black – Includes Special Offers: Buy two, save 20%

One final note: if you don’t want two eBook readers and you only need one, you can pick up a Certified Refurbished Kindle right now for just $59.99 while supplies last. Certified refurbs are guaranteed to look and work like new or you can return it for a full refund.
