Smart plugs are awesome because they add “smart” features to all of your “dumb” old devices. Things like fans, coffee makers, and even space heaters can be plugging into them and then turned on and off with a smartphone app or even your voice. Smart plugs typically cost between $20 and $30 for a device with a single outlet though, and there’s a much better option that will cost you the same or even less. Check out the Conico 1SK33W Wi-Fi Smart Power Strip, which packs four three-prong power ports that can each be individually controlled with an app or with Alexa. It retails for $50 and it’s down to $27.99 on Amazon, but if you clip the special $7 coupon on the Amazon page you’ll get it for just $20.99.

NASA is sending a desperate message to wake up Opportunity on Mars

Posted on January 28, 2019January 28, 2019 by Authcom

$%name NASA is sending a desperate message to wake up Opportunity on Mars by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

Just last week NASA celebrated the beginning of the Opportunity rover’s 16th year on the Martian surface, but all is not well with the six-wheeled robot. Opportunity has been dead quiet for over six months after falling asleep in a planet-wide dust storm, and NASA is understandably concerned.

The rover’s solar panels couldn’t gather the power it needed to sustain itself, and the rover simply hasn’t woken back up in the months since the skies have cleared. Now, in what might be a last-ditch effort to continue the Opportunity mission, NASA is sending commands to the rover in the hopes that it’ll snap out of its funk.

Surprise: Amazon Prime Video has nearly 5 times as many movies as Netflix

$%name Surprise: Amazon Prime Video has nearly 5 times as many movies as Netflix by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

Quality or quantity? Which is more important to you when it comes to choosing a streaming service? If you prefer to have as many options as possible, there’s really only one choice: Amazon Prime Video. According to the most recent data from Streaming Observer, Amazon Prime Video has a library of 17,461 movies. That’s more than four and a half times as large as Netflix’s library of 3,839 movies, while Hulu has just 2,336 movies.

But then there’s the question of quality. Having more content than the competition is great, but do we actually want to watch any of those 17,000+ movies? Maybe not, because while Netflix has a whopping 592 movies that are Certified Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, Prime Video has just 232. That’s only 9 more than Hulu.

New ‘Avengers: Endgame’ theory dreams up the most dramatic ending you can imagine

$%name New ‘Avengers: Endgame’ theory dreams up the most dramatic ending you can imagine by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

If Avengers: Infinity War shocked us for killing half of the living creatures in the universe, including half of our beloved heroes, then you can expect the same thing from the sequel — it’s going to be shocking, but hopefully without another massacre. We do expect some Avengers to give up their lives while trying to bring order to the universe. That’s what Thanos did as well. He lost Gamora for the Mind Stone, and several of his beloved servants who have been with him for years in his quest to bring balance to the universe perished at the hands of Avengers. Once Endgame finally wraps up though, it looks like several Avengers might die… and not just the usual suspects.

Report: Apple is planning a Netflix-like subscription service for games

$%name Report: Apple is planning a Netflix like subscription service for games by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

It’s indicative of the new world we live in that Apple is reportedly planning to package some of its content into yet another subscription offering that consumers will need to consider and find room in their budgets for, alongside Netflix, cable and countless other subscriptions they’re already paying for each month.

A new report from Cheddar, citing five unnamed sources, says that Apple is preparing to launch a Netflix-like subscription service for games. Which, at least from Apple’s perspective, makes sense, given that most of its App Store revenue at this point is attributable to games and could presumably serve as a strong basis for recurring revenue.

$%name Google ad for ‘Night Sight’ camera feature takes shots at Apple’s iPhone by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

While Apple famously has upwards of 1,000 engineers and researchers solely focused on improving photo quality on the iPhone, they’re certainly not the only smartphone company pushing the envelope when it comes to mobile photography. Google in particular has come a long way in recent years, with the Night Sight shooting mode the company rolled out this past November being a prime example.

Night Sight, in a nutshell, essentially uses advanced software techniques like machine learning to enable Pixel owners to take incredibly detailed photographs in particularly low-light environments. The feature has been described by many as “magic” and it’s hard to argue with that assessment given some of the side-by-side comparisons we’ve seen which position various Pixel phones with the Night Sight feature against Apple’s 2018 iPhone lineup.
