%name Apple just released iOS 12.4 for the iPhone and iPad by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

It might not be quite as exciting as Apple’s iOS 13 beta, but the company just pushed out a new software update for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. iOS 12.4 comes about two months after the initial release of iOS 12.3, and it mainly focuses on bug fixes and other refinements. There is one noteworthy new feature though, a new migration tool that transfers data from an old iPhone to a new one wirelessly. Of note, Apple released watchOS 5.3 alongside the new iOS 12.4 update, and it restores the Walkie Talkie feature that Apple disabled recently after a severe vulnerability was discovered.

Here are Apple’s full release notes from the iOS 12.4 beta, which will also apply to the final public version of iOS 12.4 that was released today:

%name Apple’s Magic Trackpad 2 in sought after Space Gray is down to its lowest price ever by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Apple’s Magic Trackpad 2 is fantastic, especially in the sought-after Space Gray color. This awesome accessory takes the class-leading trackpad from Apple’s latest MacBook Pro laptops and lets you use it with any computer. And of course, that includes the revolutionary Taptic engine that offers haptic feedback that feels like real button presses. It’s a must-have, but it’s pretty pricey at $150. If you head over to Amazon right now though, you can pick one up for an all-time low of just $104.99!

Apple Magic Trackpad 2 (Wireless, Rechargable) – Space Gray: $104.99

Here’s what you need to know from the product page:

  • Redesigned and rechargeable, Magic Trackpad 2 includes a built-in battery and brings Force Touch to the desktop for the first time.
  • Four force sensors underneath the trackpad surface allow you to click anywhere, and detect subtle differences in the amount of pressure you apply, bringing increased functionality to your fingertips and enabling a deeper connection to your content.
  • Magic Trackpad 2 also features an edge-to-edge glass surface area that is nearly 30 per cent larger than the previous trackpad. This design, along with a lower profile, makes scrolling and swiping through your favorite content more productive and comfortable than ever.
  • Magic Trackpad 2 pairs automatically with your Mac, so you can get to work right away.

Marvel also confirmed that four more films are in the making, including Blade, Black Panther 2, Captain Marvel 2, or Guardians of the Galaxy 3, and teased that Fantastic Four and X-Men adventures are in the pipeline for the more distant future.

%name The MT820 is a $99 robot vacuum with features that typically cost hundreds by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Robot vacuums can cost as little as $50 or as much as over $1,000, and features obviously vary greatly over that range. Low-cost models under $150 or $200 typically lack some of the best features of the higher-cost vacuums, such as self-charging and the ability to run well on low-pile carpet. As it turns out, however, you don’t need to spend $200 to get features like that. In fact, you don’t even have to spend $100!

%name ‘Game of Thrones’ actor: It’s the media’s fault everybody thinks season 8 was crap by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Two days before Friday’s much-anticipated Game of Thrones panel — and fresh off scooping up an Emmy nod for ‘outstanding writing’ for Games of Thrones‘ Season 8 finale — co-creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss were nowhere to be found, having pulled out of the panel at nearly the 11th hour.

But if they were hoping to duck any broadsides from fans angry at how the divisive final season turned out, they needn’t have worried. Right off the bat, Comic-Con director of programming (and the moderator for the Game of Thrones panel in Hall H Friday) instructed attendees to … be nice. Also, the panel conveniently ran out the clock, preventing fans from being able to ask questions.

Best Lawn Ornaments to Jazz up Your Yard

%name Best Lawn Ornaments to Jazz up Your Yard by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Any homeowner understands the unspoken rivalry between neighbors — specifically when it comes to maintaining the best front lawn on the block. Everyone wants to have the nicest yard, but unfortunately, not all can. Fortunately, YOU can be the unofficial king or queen of your neighborhood with some simple lawn care and intelligent decorating. Yes, decorating. Don’t fret, however, a few lawn ornaments can help ensure that your home sticks out from the rest. Even if you’re not a homeowner, having some fun decorations outside can’t hurt. Lawn ornaments, in particular, give your home a little character, so let’s look at some potential options for those looking to jazz up their front yard.

Funniest Lawn Ornament

It’s pretty safe to say that traditional lawn gnomes are tacky, if not downright creepy. If you’re not a huge fan of them — or have had some traumatizing Gnome-related experiences playing “World of Warcraft”— you’d probably love this Hilarious Lawn Gnome Godzilla from BigMouth Inc. Dubbed “The Great Garden Gnome Massacre,” this 9-inch tall lawn ornament is perfect for anybody with a sense of humor and hatred for gnomes. It’s weather-proof, so you don’t have to worry about it getting ruined in inclimate weather. There’s also plenty of other BigMouth Inc. comical lawn ornaments to collect, so if you want to be the de-facto funniest person on the block, you can try to purchase all of them. This one, however, is the best of the best.

Best Lawn Ornament for a Garden

For those who have made a concerted effort to grow a beautiful garden and/or flower setup, you’re probably going to want something that better accentuates your plants. This Amish Wagon Decorative Indoor/Outdoor Garden Backyard Planter from Collections Etc. will do just that. Made of both wood and iron, this is a durable, yet eloquent lawn ornament that can help better display your flower collection. During winter months, you can choose to leave it outside as a flowerless, yet still aesthetically pleasing lawn decoration, or bring it inside and continue to house plants. Either way, it’s a great-looking, versatile yard ornament.

Amish Wagon Decorative Indoor/Outdoor Garden Backyard Planter, Green: $26.98

Best Light-Up Lawn Ornament

If you’re looking for something a little less subtle and a little more flashy, this Set of Three LED Color Changing Solar Stake Lights from Bright Zeal presents an enticing option. These solar-powered 2.5′ tall LED garden stake lights look great throughout the day, but they really shine at night when they light up. They’re weather-resistant, easy-to-install, and can last up to eight hours after a full solar charge, making them a vivid, inexpensive, and hands-off light-up lawn ornament that will have your neighbors “green” with envy (nailed it).

Best Electric Shaver for Men

%name Best Electric Shaver for Men by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

One of the biggest pitfalls of being a man can be having an excess of hair everywhere but your head. And for those who like a clean-cut look, shaving every single day can be a pretty tedious affair — especially, when using a traditional razor blade. It can be a daunting and time-consuming task but luckily, there are plenty of electronic razors for people who simply don’t have the time or patience to go through a regular shave and want to avoid the whole “razor burn” thing. So without further ado, let’s look at some of the best electronic razors on the market, for a variety of uses, and you can be the judge of which one is right for you.

Best Dry Electric Shaver

In terms of standard, dry electric shavers, you can’t do much better than the Remington F5-5800 Foil Shaver, an inexpensive, yet highly effective model. With about 60 minutes of cordless runtime per charge, it will last a few shaves, so you don’t have to worry about it dying mid-trim. You’ll also get a thorough, close shave, thanks to its pre-trim capabilities and pivot and flex foil technology. The pop-up detailer also makes it great for touch-ups and facial hair trimming, making it a great option for any types of shaving.

Remington F5-5800 Foil Shaver, Men’s Electric Razor, Electric Shaver, Black: $42.94

Best Wet Electric Shaver

Now for those who prefer a wet, closer shave but still want an electric shaver, the Panasonic Arc5 Electric Razor, Men’s 5-Blade Cordless with Shave Sensor Technology and Wet/Dry Convenience is the perfect option. As you can tell from its name, it can be used for a dry or wet shave. It’s totally waterproof, so you can even use it in the shower if that’s what you prefer. For an electric shaver, you’re not going to get a closer shave than this, thanks largely in part to the five ultra-sharp precision-honed 30° Nanotech blades and multi-flex pivoting head. Basically, with this razor, you’re getting the best of both worlds.

Panasonic Arc5 Electric Razor, Men’s 5-Blade Cordless with Shave Sensor Technology and Wet/Dry…: $119.99

Best Electric Shaver for Versatility

Last but not least, we have the Venyn 4 In 1 Richor Rotatory Electric Shaver, one of the most versatile electric razors you’ll ever come across. Like the Panasonic Arc5, you have the option to choose between a wet and dry shave, but this one comes with four detachable heads —a rotary shaver, precise trimmer, nose trimmer, and rotary brush — so you have a ton of grooming options. Plus, the razor head is made of high-quality stainless steel, ensuring a close shave every time. The rotary attachment uses advanced 3D floating heads technology that automatically contours to your face and jawline, ensuring you get all the hard to reach places on your face for a comfortable, smooth shave.

Ask any professional chef and he or she will tell you that there’s simply no way to cook steak or any other meat perfectly without using a meat thermometer. Professionals can get pretty close, but they still use thermometers when they want to make food perfect, and you should too. Of course, technology has come a long way and not all meat thermometers are created equal. Our favorite by far is the MEATER True Wireless Smart Meat Thermometer, which stays in your meat while it cooks and relays the exact internal temperature in real-time to your smartphone.

%name Forget all the Netflix doom and gloom – it’s Apple, Disney, and even HBO that should be worried now by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

If you believe much of the commentary in recent days about Netflix’s unimpressive second-quarter results, you’d be forgiven for assuming the streaming giant’s House of Cards will soon come tumbling down.

Netflix lost 126,000 subscribers during the quarter, the first time that’s happened since the streamer actually started producing original content. Yikes. And then when you couple that fact, plus the quarter’s lack of new hit content and the imminent loss of shows like Friends and The Office with the forthcoming launch of rival streamers from Apple, Disney, and HBO’s parent company, among others — it’s a recipe for disaster and whatever the Streaming War’s version of hand-to-hand combat is, with everyone taking a piece out of Netflix, right?
