In addition to showing off the world’s first phone with a camera under the screen at MWC 2019 Shanghai, Oppo unveiled an unexpected smartphone feature, especially for a smartphone maker from China. It’s called MeshTalk, and as the name hints, it lets you connect to other phones around you. There’s no need for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cellular service to get the job done, and it works over distances of up to 3km (1.86 miles).

Not that this should surprise anyone, but you’re about to start seeing more ads on Instagram now that the Facebook-owned photo-sharing app has announced a new place it’s going to start slotting them in.

Very soon, the company announced today, you’ll start seeing ads show up within the Explore page, one of the parts of the Instagram experience that’s been ad-free until now. You’ll apparently see them first not on the main Explore page, but rather once you tap on an Explore post and then start scrolling through the recommended similar posts that Instagram feeds you.

The new iPad Air just got a big discount on Amazon, but you should buy a 6th-gen iPad for $249 instead

%name The new iPad Air just got a big discount on Amazon, but you should buy a 6th gen iPad for $249 instead by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Apple’s new iPad Air is fantastic. It’s slim, it’s fast, it’s powerful, and it has all the great features you want out of your iPad. It also just got its first big discount on Amazon, so pricing right now starts at $469 instead of $500. The Air is a pretty terrific value at that price, but most people would be far better served getting a new 6th-generation iPad instead. It’s also on sale right now with prices starting at just $249, which is an absolute steal. Yes, it’s a tiny bit slower than the iPad Air and the screen is marginally smaller at 9.7 inches instead of 10.5 inches. But for playing with apps, streaming videos, surfing the web, and everything else that 99% of people do with their iPads, the benefits of the Air don’t warrant the much steeper price tag.

Marvel decided to re-release Avengers: Endgame two months after its premiere, and just in time for Spider-Man: Far From Home, which launches on July 2nd. But as we get closer to Far From Home, we’re learning all sorts of things about the new Spider-Man adventure, like the fact that we have two mind-blowing post-credits scenes at the end. Or, like the fact that the best theories we’ve seen after Endgame will become real once Far From Home launches.

Sony’s PlayStation 5 console will hit stores during next year’s holiday shopping season, but we already know a few things about the console thanks to Sony’s recent revelations. The PS5 will sport next-gen AMD chips as well as fast SSDs that should deliver a much more powerful experience than the PS4, while also eliminating loading times. And we now have the first purported PS5 benchmark in the wild, which may reveal exactly how fast the new console will be.

Israel’s SpaceIL, which crashed its lander into the Moon, now says the Moon isn’t challenging enough

%name Israel’s SpaceIL, which crashed its lander into the Moon, now says the Moon isn’t challenging enough by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

It’s only been a few months since Israel’s nonprofit space group SpaceIL attempted a soft landing on the Moon. It would have been an extraordinary accomplishment, and the first privately-funded lunar landing ever, but it didn’t exactly go as planned. The lander crashed, and SpaceIL pledged to try again. Now, it’s backtracking on that pledge and deeming the Moon not worthy of its efforts. Odd.

In a tweet sent out by SpaceIL, the group revealed that it’s not targeting the Moon for its next attempt, despite saying so in the wake of its previous try. It’s strange, but things became even more bizarre when the company released a statement on its decision.
