The most surprising moment at the Samsung media event I attended earlier this month was when the company reps revealed that the Galaxy Note 10 would not feature a microSD card slot. The biggest Android vendor in the world just eliminated an expansion slot on a flagship phone, and even though the pricier Galaxy Note 10+ retained the feature, this seemed like a sign of things to come. And a new rumor adds credence to that idea.

SamMobile reports that the Galaxy S11 series will have four different storage options, starting at 128GB and climbing all the way up to 1TB. If Samsung does indeed end up removing the storage expansion slot from the Galaxy S11, this might help to quell some of the anger that will inevitably bubble up over the decision.

As the southeastern United States braces for impact, NASA is doing its best to aid in the monitoring and forecasting of Hurricane Dorian, which is currently barreling straight for Florida. The powerful storm is expected to cause a lot of damage once it makes landfall, but with NASA’s help, forecasters already know a lot about its destructive potential.

In a new blog post, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory explains the various tools at the agency’s disposal, painting a clear and frightening picture of Dorian days ahead of its appearance on the U.S. coast.

I love Arlo wireless home security cameras. In fact, I use Arlo cameras at my home. The features are great, the app is terrific, and they’re nice and reliable so I can always count on them. Even still, if I was starting over from scratch, I wouldn’t go with Arlo for two main reasons. First, Arlo cameras are insanely expensive. Second, the batteries only last 2-3 month per charge and it’s a pain in the butt. So, what would I get if I was starting from scratch? I’d probably get an All-new Blink XT2 Outdoor/Indoor Smart Security Camera System with 2-year battery life and low pricing that’s even lower right now because every XT2 bundle is on sale!

Vaping has been taking over headlines in recent weeks, and for all the worst reasons. The smoking alternative has been linked to lung issues in dozens of hospitalized patients and health officials are investigating what may be hundreds of related cases. Now, in the state where these cases began to gain national attention, Wisconsin, health officials in Milwaukee are urging everyone to stop vaping entirely.

It’s all pretty scary, at least on the surface, and if you’ve kicked a smoking habit in favor of e-cigarettes, you might be second-guessing your decision. However, there’s a serious lack of information available about what kinds of products the affected individuals were using, and it’s leading to what may be an unwarranted panic.
