When you’re getting ready in the morning and need to know whether to wear a jacket or not you probably just tap your smartphone screen a few times and bring up a local weather report. If mankind ever plans on colonizing Mars, the first visitors will benefit greatly from a similar service that offers weather outlooks for the Red Planet.

NASA’s InSight lander touched down on Mars a few months back and in the time since its arrival it set up a bunch of neat tools it will use to monitor the interior of the planet. Its primary mission is to relay data on the inner workings of Mars but the robot is equipped with sensors that allow it to produce its own Martian weather reports as well, and you can browse them yourself.

We’re not sure any smart speaker sale will ever be as good as this unadvertised Sonos deal

We saw plenty of deals come and go ahead of the holidays last year that offered great discounts on a wide range of popular wireless speakers. As good as some of those Black Friday and Cyber Week deals were, however, there was one in particular that shined brighter than the rest. What’s more is that this secret, unadvertised deal is still available on Amazon right now. Scoop up a two room set of Sonos Play:1 wireless speakers on Amazon and you’ll pay just $298. That’s already less than you would pay for a single HomePod speaker from Apple, but it gets even better because you’ll also score a $30 Amazon gift card for free! That effectively drops the price to just $268, which is only $124 per speaker. That’s nuts!

Two Room Set with Sonos Play:1 + $30 Amazon Gift card: $298.00

Here are the details from the product page:

Works with Alexa for voice control (Alexa device sold separately)
Fill two separate rooms with different music, or link them together to hear the same song in both. Great surround speakers for your Sonos home theater, too
Versatile, compact fit. Place them wherever you want and enjoy rich, room-filling sound
Streams all your favorite music services like Amazon Music Unlimited, Spotify, Pandora, Apple Music and more
Easy 10-minute wi-fi set up. No Bluetooth pairing problems or interruptions
Connects wirelessly to Sonos speakers in other rooms so you can expand your Home Sound System when you’re ready

A Marvel star just dropped multiple huge ‘Avengers: Endgame’ spoilers

$%name A Marvel star just dropped multiple huge ‘Avengers: Endgame’ spoilers by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

Marvel is known for doing everything it can to keep the plot of its MCU superhero flicks secret for as long as possible. They will mislead fans with the help of trailers, and even circumvent the truth whenever needed, and we all accept that. It’s how the game works. But the stars who play some of our favorite characters can’t always help themselves. We’ve seen several of them drop spoilers along the way, including a few gems that could have ruined a film like Avengers: Infinity War, had they been taken seriously at the time. But the ending of Avengers 3 is so perfectly shocking that it practically ensures the success of Endgame.

Fans are still discussing Infinity War almost a year after it launched, trying to guess what will happen next. And everything the cast and crew say — or have said in the past — suddenly becomes relevant for Endgame. Comments from Sony execs told us that Spider-Man: Far From Home starts minutes after Endgame. And Tom Holland practically confirmed that Doctor Strange would travel back in time to talk about the Quantum Realm with some characters. Now, thanks to a Marvel star who plays a pivotal character in the Marvel universe, we have more spoilers for you that are quite significant.

Everything new on Netflix in March 2019

$%name Everything new on Netflix in March 2019 by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

Scrolling through next month’s selection of new arrivals on Netflix, I found myself a bit underwhelmed. That’s not to say that there aren’t plenty of original movies, shows, and specials set to launch in March (because, as always, there are), but there didn’t seem to be quite as many returning hits and exciting blockbusters as I expected. But that may just be a matter of personal taste, and you’re sure to find something worth watching below.

For example, Santa Clarita Diet, Terrace House, and Queer Eye are all returning for new seasons in March, while the final eight episodes of Arrested Development’s fifth season are dropping as well. Ben Affleck’s Triple Frontier comes out in March too, and I’ll probably rewatch Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist.

Apple will reportedly combine iPhone, iPad, and Mac apps by 2021

$%name Apple will reportedly combine iPhone, iPad, and Mac apps by 2021 by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

Apple wants to unite all three of its major platforms within the next two years by combining apps made for its phones, tablets, and computers. According to a report from Bloomberg, Apple’s multi-step initiative (called “Marzipan”) will give developers the ability to build a single app and have it work seamlessly across the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Bloomberg first reported on this in 2017, with Apple confirming the initiative at WWDC 2018 last year.

Sources say that Apple will release a software development kit this year — possibly as early as WWDC 2019 in June — that will let developers port their iPad apps to macOS. Separate versions of the app will still need to be submitted for the iOS App Store and Mac App Store, but the developers won’t have to write the code twice.

$%name Netflix won the streaming war, and everyone else is fighting for second place by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

Remember when cutting the cord was supposed to make our lives easier? Well, in a somewhat ironic turn of events, the popularity of streaming services today has reached a point where it’s nearly as much of a muddled mess as the complex cable packages of old. In addition to Netflix, you’ve got streaming options from the likes of Hulu, HBO, ESPN, Amazon, and of course, Apple in just a few months. And that’s to say nothing of additional streaming options from DirecTV Now and other similar services.

With the streaming landscape as competitive as ever, much of the conversation seems to focus on who can take on Netflix. The reality, though, is that Netflix has already won the streaming wars and everyone else is just playing for second place. Netflix currently boasts nearly 140 million subscribers worldwide. Hulu, by way of comparison, has upwards of 25 million.
