Another massive outage takes down many of the internet’s biggest sites and service

For the second time in two weeks, a huge chunk of the internet is inaccessible due to a sudden outage. Whereas last week’s outage was traced back to Verizon, this seems to be a Cloudflare issue, as the Cloudflare status page reveals that the company is investigating network performance issues impacting countless sites and services.

This isn’t nearly as significant as the outage we experienced last week, which saw the likes of Google, Amazon, and Reddit all go down for extended periods of time, but it’s yet another sign of just how fragile the networks that serve as the backbone of the internet can be. And the proximity to the last outage just highlights this issue.

%name The design of one of the hottest Android flagships of 2019 just leaked by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

We’re now officially in the second half of 2019, which means a bunch of exciting new smartphones will be released in the coming months. On the iPhone side, we have the three iPhone 11 series handsets that Apple will unveil in early or mid-September. On the Android side of the fence, we have an even bigger playing field, with the Galaxy Note 10 being the next big Android flagship to drop. But it’s in October and November when some of the hottest Androids of the season will launch, including the Pixel 4, the OnePlus 7T Pro, as well as a handset you might not be able to buy if you live in the United States. The Mate 30 Pro is on track to launch in spite of the Huawei ban, and we’ve already got leaks that tease its new design.

%name This $25 accessory is a must have for anyone with a Fire TV Stick by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Alexa on Amazon’s Echo smart speakers is absolutely fantastic. Honestly, I don’t think I would ever want to live without it at this point. But Alexa on Amazon’s Fire TV remote is horrible. Alexa just can’t handle dictation well for some reason, and it makes entering things like searches, user names, and passwords a real pain in the butt. If you want to do away with all that nonsense, do what I did and get the iPazzPort Mini Backlit Keyboard with Universal Remote Buttons. It mounts on the back of your Fire TV remote with a nifty little case, and it will seriously be a game-changer for you.

This fake iPhone 11 Max hands-on video is still our best look yet at Apple’s next-gen iPhone

%name This fake iPhone 11 Max hands on video is still our best look yet at Apple’s next gen iPhone by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Samsung just confirmed an earlier leak that said its exciting new Galaxy Note 10 and Galaxy Note 10+ will be officially announced on August 7th. They’re going to feature completely overhauled designs with triple-lens cameras and hole-punch, all-screen displays. These new Notes are expected to be two of Samsung’s best smartphones ever, and yet most of the tech world is still looking beyond August into September, when Apple is set to unveil the iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Max, and iPhone 11R, or whatever the company’s next-generation iPhone series ends up being called. These new iPhones will look just like last year’s iPhone models from the front, but flip them over and you’ll find the most exciting addition to the iPhone lineup in 2019: Brand new triple-lens cameras on the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Max, and an upgraded dual-lens camera on the iPhone 11 R.

We still don’t know about all of the marquees features Apple has in store for the iPhone 11 series in September, but we do know that the camera will play a huge role. Apple’s iPhone was once the market leader when it comes to mobile cameras, but the company has fallen way behind Huawei, Google, and even Samsung in recent years. Word on the street is that the iPhone 11’s new triple-lens rear camera will put a stop to Apple’s slide, instantly propelling it to the head of the pack once again. In fact, we’ve even heard that Apple is planning an advanced, AI-assisted night mode that’s even more impressive than Google’s Night Sight on its Pixel phones. We can’t wait to hear all the details straight from the horse’s mouth, but we actually don’t have to wait another minute to see what Apple’s new iPhone 11 Max will be like in real life thanks to a new hands-on video.

It was only a few days ago that a report said Samsung’s Galaxy Note 10 launch preparations were underway, with the company expected to hold its second annual Unpacked event in New York, on August 7th. That rumor made plenty of sense considering Samsung’s track record with the Note series, as some of the latest models were also unveiled during the same month. Guess what happened next? Samsung officially announced that its Note 10 event will indeed take place on August 7th, just as previously rumored, and that it’ll indeed take place in New York. In the process, Samsung also seemingly confirmed the phone’s major redesign.

You may have already installed Microsoft’s latest major update on your Windows device, but don’t get your hopes up for any stellar features for the next major upgrade. They call them feature releases, and the Windows 10 May 2019 Update that was recently released is the newest one. Coming up is the fall feature update, codenamed 19H2, which is already available to beta testers. However, Microsoft isn’t ready to share any specifics of the 19H2’s main features. Judging from what Microsoft revealed so far, the best and only new thing about Windows 10 19H2 will be the speed of the installation?
