It’s happened again.

With travelers and UK authorities still reeling from the incident a few weeks ago involving drones spotted deliberately flying close to Gatwick airport, the country’s second busiest, travelers find themselves stranded and planes grounded in part of the UK due to a drone sighting. This time, it’s happened at London’s Heathrow airport — the second busiest in the world — where authorities swiftly responded to a drone sighting by halting operations there.

Here’s as good an indication as any about how dramatically the pendulum is swinging the other way when it comes to consumers abandoning expensive cable packages for streaming TV options. Remember how we told you back in November that cable and satellite TV providers had just suffered their worst quarter ever in terms of subscribers losses? Turns out, some of those cord-cutters apparently departed for Hulu, which in 2018 added 8 million subscribers to push its overall total past 25 million — making the service now bigger than Comcast, which is of course the biggest cable company in the US.

We’ve been talking about artificial intelligence on smartphones for quite a while now, but there’s no reason AI features need to be confined to phones. Intel at CES 2019 laid out plans to work with various device makers on ultrabooks that will come with AI support as well as 5G connectivity out of the box. But while we wait for Intel to further detail its Project Athena, we’ve got one notebook vendor ready to launch a device with built-in AI features.

Humans have a complicated relationship with planet Earth. We love it here, we love the sights and sounds, and we sit glued to our television screens as documentaries show us how awesome our planet and its various life forms are. We’re also actively making it less awesome by killing off countless species — sometimes on purpose, sometimes on accident — and we can’t seem to stop.

The latest example comes from California, where the western monarch butterfly population has absolutely plummeted over just a few years, and it’s getting worse. In fact, the population of the eye-catching insects has dropped by a stunning 86% since 2017.

If a company ever tries to sell you a sleep aid that it guarantees will work for everyone, don’t even bother with it. It’s bologna. There’s simply no such thing as a sleep solution that works for everyone and there never will be. That said, when something new does pop up and it gets good reviews from a lot of people, it’s definitely worth checking out. If you think sound sensitivity might be part of the reason you have trouble staying asleep at night, you should definitely check out the Bose Noise Masking Sleepbuds. They’re worth every penny if they work as well for you as they have for many other people who have tried them, and you can always just return them if they don’t help you out.

Bose Noise Masking Sleepbuds: $249.00

Here’s some additional info from the product page:

• Noise-masking sleepbuds are the latest Bose innovation. They use engineered soothing sounds to cover up unwanted noise — like snoring partners and noisy neighbors — so you can fall asleep, and stay asleep
• They may look like tiny headphones, but instead of streaming music, the sleepbuds play pre-loaded soothing sounds for sleep and relaxation
• Super-tiny sleepbuds stay comfortably in place all night long, even if you sleep on your side. Choose from three included eartip sizes for the best fit
• Although Bose pioneered noise cancelling technology, its research found noise masking is the better option for sleep
• Rechargeable battery provides up to 16 hours of use for deep, peaceful sleep
• The sleepbuds work exclusively with the Bose Sleep app so you can control and customize how you sleep. Select your soothing sound, control the volume, set an alarm, and even choose how long you want your sleepbuds to play
• Compact and convenient storage case keeps your sleepbuds safe, charged, and ready for next time. Provides one additional charge without having to plug it in
• Your device (smartphone, tablet, etc.) must support Bluetooth Low Energy (also called Bluetooth Smart) to work correctly with the Bose noise-masking sleepbuds. Apple devices with iOS 10 or later are compatible, and most devices with Android 5.0 and newer versions support Bluetooth Low Energy

One of the prevailing story lines that we’ve been covering in depth over the past several weeks has been the array of smartphones Samsung is expected to launch in just a few weeks. The cheapest of those — referred to as the Galaxy S10 Lite in leaks — should, in theory, compete with Apple’s iPhone XR. But a benchmark that popped up online this week seems to suggest that the S10 Lite will struggle to come close to its rival.

Spotted by GalaxyClub on Tuesday, the benchmark for a phone with model number SM-G970U (supposedly the S10 Lite) offers up multiple revelations about the highly anticipated device. First and foremost, it seems to confirm that the S10 Lite will ship with a Snapdragon 855 processor on board. Second, Samsung looks to be including 6GB of RAM on this “budget” phone — double what the XR offers. But that’s just part of the story.
