  • One of the many consequences of the coronavirus outbreak is that large numbers of public gathering spots, businesses, restaurants, and entertainment venues are rapidly closing down as officials try and get control of the virus’ spread.
  • That leaves streaming TV and movies as one way for people to pass the time as they hunker down at home and ride out the shockwaves from the coronavirus that have disrupted so much of life in the US and around the world right now. Streaming search engine Reelgood has offered this look at the top TV series that its users are bingeing at the moment.

With cities around the US implementing lockdowns and closures of key public venues and businesses to discourage gatherings that could foster the spread of the coronavirus, streaming is one way many people are choosing to pass the time while they hunker down at home. It’s convenient, and best of all there’s no risk of infection from the public — or the possibility that you could spread the virus to someone else.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like the pipeline for many of your favorite streamers will be replenished with as much new content anytime soon. Disney+, for example, has shut down production on its various Marvel TV series, and Netflix has likewise pressed pause on its TV and movie productions which includes work for new seasons of Stranger Things and The Witcher.

This scientific breakthrough may hold the key to defeating the coronavirus

%name This scientific breakthrough may hold the key to defeating the coronavirus by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • Scientists around the globe are currently racing to develop a coronavirus vaccine to finally begin to fight back against the COVID-19 virus that’s wreaking havoc, infecting large masses of people, and leading to the loss of life around the globe.
  • New breakthroughs from researchers in Texas, as well as China, have shed new light on how the virus actually operates inside the human body, and the hope is that their research could bring everyone closer to the development of a vaccine.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Although the bad news has been mounting in recent days as the COVID-19 coronavirus continues its inexorable spread across the planet, scientists and researchers have made a significant breakthrough that gets them one step closer toward the development a desperately needed vaccine.

That breakthrough involves new insight into how the coronavirus actually works and operates inside the human body, which also explains why it’s so deadly and such a fearsome pandemic. Two teams of researchers — at Westlake University in Hangzhou, China, and at the Univesity of Texas at Austin — have now published the insights they’ve learned about how the virus gains entry into human cells and essentially hijacks them.

New AirPods leaked, but coronavirus might delay Apple’s release

%name New AirPods leaked, but coronavirus might delay Apple’s release by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • Apple’s AirPods might soon be refreshed, a new report out of Taiwan says, although the coronavirus pandemic might impact the product’s launch.
  • It’s unclear what kind of new AirPods Apple is getting ready to launch. Previous reports referred to the upcoming version as the “AirPods Pro Lite,” suggesting a cheaper price tag for the brand new pair of AirPods with active noise cancelling.
  • Pricing and availability details for the rumored new AirPods haven’t leaked yet, and Apple continues to sell three AirPods versions in stores right now.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Apple may have closed all its retail shops outside China, canceled the rumored March press event, and transformed WWDC 2020 into an online-only event, but the company is still expected to unveil new products this month. Powerbeats 4 are now official at $149, marking Apple’s first new release of the month. Apple is also expected to quietly announce a new iPad Pro generation, new MacBooks, as well as new AirPods. Plenty of reports said earlier this year that Apple would soon launch a so-called “AirPods Pro Lite” version of its popular wireless earphones, without providing specifics about the Lite model. Now, a new rumor says that suppliers might be ready to manufacture the brand new AirPods, but the COVID-19 outbreak might affect sales.

Beware: New coronavirus tracking app infects phones with malware

%name Beware: New coronavirus tracking app infects phones with malware by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • Hackers are taking advantage of the coronavirus pandemic by releasing dangerous malware disguised as COVID-19 tracking apps.
  • Don’t download any unfamiliar Android apps outside of the Google Play store, especially if they’re related to the coronavirus outbreak.
  • Microsoft has released an actual COVID-19 tracker that is being updated all the time, so it’s a great tool to use instead of tracking apps from unknown developers.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

As cities, states, and entire countries shut down in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, people all over the world are desperately trying to stay informed and keep themselves and their families safe. Unsurprisingly, apps are popping up left and right to disseminate information and provide helpful tips, but perhaps even less surprisingly, at least one of those apps is loaded with ransomware as hackers attempt to take advantage of the situation.

Late last week, DomainTools reported that a domain was claiming to offer a real-time coronavirus outbreak tracker that Android users could download to their devices outside of the Google Play store. Of course, the truth of the matter was that the app was a scam, and is capable of denying users access to their phones by forcing a password change. This is a fairly common “screen-lock attack,” and the app has been appropriately dubbed CovidLock.

Xbox Series X official specs may confirm a key PS5 feature

%name Xbox Series X official specs may confirm a key PS5 feature by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • In another surprise announcement, Microsoft released the full specs sheet for the Xbox Series X on Monday, including RAM and storage details.
  • Considering the PS5 and new Xbox will share several main specs, it’s likely that Sony will match Microsoft when it comes to SSD capacity.
  • That means the PlayStation 5 should ship with 1TB of fast SSD flash memory, and it will likely support expandable storage just like the Series X.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Microsoft on Monday came out swinging with a few significant Xbox announcements. We now have a detailed specs sheet for the new console as well as several demos of the new hardware that show gameplay. Not to mention that Microsoft also provided plenty of new details about the new Xbox controller. For those keeping score at home, the company is several steps ahead of Sony when it comes to new console announcements — Microsoft unveiled the Series X design in mid-December followed by a specs and features blog post a couple of months later, and now all this. While Sony doesn’t seem ready, or willing, to unveil the PlayStation 5 amid the novel coronavirus pandemic — and it’s likely that the company won’t hold a press conference anytime soon — the new Xbox announcement does provide a few insights for a key piece of the PS5 hardware, one that will play a major role in determining its price.

Crazy wireless charger that charges even after you pick up your phone got its first discount

%name Crazy wireless charger that charges even after you pick up your phone got its first discount by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

If all you want is a regular old wireless charger that costs as little as possible, head over to Amazon right now and you’ll find the Letscom 15W Max Fast Wireless Charging Pad on sale for next to nothing. It’ll definitely get the job done and it costs a fraction of what you would pay for a similar wireless charging from a big-name brand. But if you’re looking for something far more versatile with a brilliant design like nothing you’ve seen before, we’ve got a new option for you that you definitely need to check out.

It’s called the Pitaka MagEZ Juice Dock-and-Go wireless charger, and it really is like nothing you’ve ever seen or tried before.

PITAKA Wireless Charging Stand Dock-and-Go Charger [MagEZ Juice] Magnetic Wireless Charging Pow…: $79.00

The MagEZ charging stand works alongside Pitaka’s magnetic MagEZ smartphone cases, so you’ll need to find the right model for your smartphone. Alternatively, you can use any case with a metal plate in the back, and they’re fairly common right now. The metal back sticks to the magnets in the wireless charging stand, and your phone charges like you see in the image at the top of this page. It’s pretty neat to be able to just stick your phone on the stand to charge, but that’s definitely not the best part.

When you need to leave the house before your phone is done charging and you have a normal wireless charging stand, you’re out of luck. With the MagEZ Juice charger, however, the phone is actually connected to a docked portable charger rather than the stand itself! You can slide it right out and it stays connected to your phone using a strong magnet, like you see above. It’s awesome, and it’s available right now on Amazon with its first discount ever.

  • Misinformation about face masks, symptoms, and what to do if you’re infected have flooded the web.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

Coronavirus and the COVID-19 pandemic have absolutely exploded across the planet, infecting well over 100,000 people (that we know of) and throwing a wrench in daily life with mandatory lockdowns, school closings, and social distancing. Along with news of the virus and its spread, a flood of misinformation has filled every corner of the internet.

Much remains unknown about COVID-19 and this particular strain of coronavirus. Some early advice issued by health officials proved to be only half right, while other tips and tricks offered by random web denizens are just plain wrong. It’s time to bust some myths.

Roku Streaming Stick+ with 4K is at its best price since Black Friday – just $39

%name Roku Streaming Stick+ with 4K is at its best price since Black Friday – just $39 by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • Streaming media players are wildly popular right now since millions of people are stuck at home trying to slow the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
  • The Roku Streaming Stick+ is one of the most popular models available right now, and it’s on sale at Amazon for just $39 instead of $60.
  • That’s the lowest price since Black Friday last year on this great model with 4K and HDR support, and it definitely won’t last long.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

So many people took the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic lightly in the United States, and we’re all going to pay the price in the coming weeks. Plenty of damage has already been done and there’s nothing we can do about it now, but we can still do everything in our power to slow the spread of this deadly virus. If you’re smart, you’re doing everything you possibly can right now to stay at home and avoid going out unless you absolutely have to. That means working from home, taking online classes from home, and keeping yourself entertained at home as much as possible to keep from going stir crazy. Needless to say, for a lot of people that means they’ll be streaming tons of movies and TV shows from all their favorite streaming media platforms.

Whether you subscribe to Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Disney+, Apple TV+, HBO Go, Showtime Anytime, or any other streaming services out there, you know you’ll always have access to anything and everything on a Roku player. And on Monday, Amazon slashed the price of the best-selling Roku device to its lowest price since Black Friday last year.

Roku Streaming Stick+ | HD/4K/HDR Streaming Device with Long-range Wireless and Voice Remote wi…: $39.00

The $60 Roku Streaming Stick+ has been a favorite among streaming fans ever since it first came out. It’s crazy to think that a tiny little gadget like this can instantly give you access to more than 500,000 movies and shows through all the different streaming services it supports. What’s more, there’s an awesome Roku Channel that aggregates all the free content you can stream, so you can always find something to watch in a matter of minutes.

Despite the tiny footprint of the Roku Streaming Stick+, it still packs all the premium features you might want. That includes support for both 4K resolution as well as HDR content with vivid colors that will knock you out of your seat. It’s already a bargain at $60, but Amazon is offering it today for just $39! That’s the lowest price since Black Friday 2019 and it definitely won’t last for very long. Also, keep in mind as delivery estimates inevitably start to slip that Amazon almost always delivers popular products like this well ahead of schedule.

Leak says the iPhone 12 performance will crush every new Android phone

%name Leak says the iPhone 12 performance will crush every new Android phone by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • The iPhone 12 is expected to feature a brand new Apple A14 processor that should be faster and more efficient than the A13 Bionic in the iPhone 11.
  • The A14 series will likely be manufactured by TSMC on a new 5nm process, a first for the industry.
  • A new leak says the A14 will be significantly faster than the A13, and therefore considerably faster than any of this year’s top Android devices.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

For years, Apple has been at the forefront of chip innovation. The company’s A-series chips that power the iPhone and iPad always outperform same-year Android devices running the latest processors from Qualcomm, Samsung, and other chipmakers. Android has been trying to catch up with the iPhone ever since Apple introduced the first-ever 64-bit chip for mobile devices, and Android phones still are not able to top the iPhone’s impressive performance. The most recent A-series chip is the A13 Bionic processor that powers the iPhone 11 series, which is faster than anything available for Android devices. Benchmark tests showed that the Snapdragon 865 processor that powers the Galaxy S20 and other flagship 2020 Android handsets is no match for the A13. Real-life speed comparisons have proven the same thing when it comes to launching demanding apps or performing intensive tasks. The S20’s enormous amount of RAM does help Samsung compensate for the lack of raw power, but it’s still not enough. The A14 chips that will power Apple’s iPhone 12 phones will be even faster than the A13, delivering performance that’s not likely to be matched by any new Android device this year — and maybe even next year — according to a new leak.

Save $500 on an unlocked Galaxy Note 9 at Amazon, today only

%name Save $500 on an unlocked Galaxy Note 9 at Amazon, today only by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley
  • Samsung’s new Galaxy S20 smartphones are now available for purchase around the world, but many people believe them to be way overpriced considering the least expensive model you can get in the United States costs $1,000.
  • There’s still no official word on how well the S20 series is selling, but there’s another Samsung smartphone that might be a smarter choice for Android fans.
  • For one day only on Monday, Amazon is offering an incredible deal that slashes up to $500 off the price of a brand new Samsung Galaxy Note 9 flagship smartphone that is factory unlocked.
  • Visit BGR’s homepage for more stories.

There is no question whatsoever that Samsung’s new Galaxy S20 smartphone lineup is packed full of power and exciting new features. The cameras are particularly impressive, especially on the high-end Galaxy S20 Ultra model. The phone packs a quad-lens rear camera with a 102-megapixel wide-angle lens, a 10x optical zoom telephoto lens, and a crazy new feature that lets you zoom up to 100x when combining the optical and digital zoom features. It’s incredible, but it’s also almost certainly not worth the insane $1,600 price tag.

If you don’t want all the crazy new camera features on the Galaxy S20 Ultra or the other mind-blowing specs like up to 16GB of RAM, you can always choose one of the “cheaper” Galaxy S20 models. Why is the word “cheaper” in quotes, you ask? Well, it’s because the least expensive Galaxy S20 model that Samsung sells in the United States still costs $1,000. That’s just crazy, and sales of Samsung’s new S20 series are said to be suffering as a result.

If you love Samsung’s sleek Android phones but you don’t want to spend an arm and a leg to get one, today is definitely your lucky day. Forget the overhyped S20 series and pick up a brand new Galaxy Note 9 on Amazon instead. The nation’s top online retailer has a killer one-day sale going that slashes the price of the $1,000 128GB Galaxy Note 9 to just $599.99, and the $1,250 512GB Galaxy Note 9 model is down to $749.99. That’s a massive $500 discount, and these are the best prices we’ve seen on factory unlocked Note 9 phones. The deals are only good until the end of the day on Monday though, which means you have to pull the trigger now or you’re going to miss out.

Samsung Galaxy Note9 N960U 128GB Unlocked 4G LTE Phone w/ Dual 12MP Camera – Midnight Black: $599.99

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Factory Unlocked Phone with 6.4″ Screen and 512GB (U.S. Warranty), Midnig…: $749.99

Here are the bullet points from Amazon’s Note 9 page:

  • The largest battery in a Note, ever. When you have a long lasting battery, you really can go all day and all night
  • The Note9 has twice as much storage as the Note8, which means more music, more videos, more pictures, and less worry when it comes to space on your phone
  • The Note9 gives you a quick network connection for incredibly fast streaming and downloading, so you can do more, uninterrupted.Bluetooth:5.0
  • Still amazing on screen, but now the S Pen has more power off screen. Remotely control different applications and use the S pen to capture shots from far away, scroll, and play music
  • At 6.4 Inches, the Note9 has the largest screen of any Galaxy phone. Perfect for gaming and streaming, our Super AMOLED display is bigger than ever before
