Users have started noticing the presence of a Sleep Timer as one of the options in the “Now Playing” menu, something a recent leak had already pointed out seemed to be coming soon. “I’ve been waiting for this feature forever,” Studdz posted under a Reddit thread titled “Thank you for the sleep timer, Spotify.”

Tesla starts delivering the entry-level Model 3 with locked down features

%name Tesla starts delivering the entry level Model 3 with locked down features by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

While demand for Tesla’s Model 3 has never been much of a problem, the company took its sweet time before making the $35,000 configuration available to prospective buyers. This naturally rubbed many the wrong way given that the entire impetus behind the Model 3 was to offer up an affordable EV for the masses. Instead, the cheapest Model 3 for quite a while was priced at $42,900.

The reasoning behind this, not surprisingly, involves Tesla’s ongoing struggles to generate as much cash as possible. Explaining Tesla’s thought process on the matter, Elon Musk last year said that if Tesla were to ship the minimum cost Model 3 right out of the gate, it “would cause Tesla to lose money and die.” In short, Tesla prioritized selling higher-margin versions of the Model 3 above all else.

Three cases of potentially deadly rat lungworm infections confirmed in Hawaii

%name Three cases of potentially deadly rat lungworm infections confirmed in Hawaii by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Health officials have now confirmed a total of three cases of rat lungworm disease in travelers who spent time in Hawaii. A report from the Hawaii Department of Health confirms the cases, which are believed to be unrelated to one another.

The disease, which is officially known as angiostrongyliasis but is also called “rat lungworm disease,” is caused by a parasitic infection. The parasite is known to target rats, hence the name, but its life cycle can bring it into contact with humans as well. The severity of the infection can vary from person to person, but the disease can be deadly in some cases.

NASA sent a helicopter on a nosedive to test Mars landing hardware

%name NASA sent a helicopter on a nosedive to test Mars landing hardware by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

NASA’s Mars 2020 mission could teach us some incredible new things about our planetary neighbor, and even provide us with valuable insights that will shape plans for future manned missions to the Red Planet. It could be a very big deal for mankind… but first it has to actually, you know, land.

One of the most crucial components of the Mars 2020 lander is the Lander Vision System, or VLS. The VLS will allow the spacecraft to specify its landing location automatically as it’s cruising down to the surface, and NASA recently put it through its paces by strapping it to the front of a helicopter.

Apple augments its health initiative with another significant acquisition

%name Apple augments its health initiative with another significant acquisition by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

In an effort to further boost its growing health initiative, Apple reportedly acquired startup Tueo Health, which has been working on a system to help parents monitor children with asthma while asleep. According to CNBC, Tueo raised $1.1 million in seed funding in 2017, and then in late 2018, both CEO Bronwyn Harris and COO Anura Patil changed their employer to Apple on LinkedIn. This is presumably when the acquisition was completed.

As calls have mounted in China for the central government to officially retaliate against Apple as a way to strike back over US trade tensions and over the increasing ostracization of Huawei, the billionaire founder of one of China’s leading consumer electronics brands insists he’s squarely against going that route.

In a new interview with Bloomberg, Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei was effusive in his praise of the iPhone maker, describing Apple per a translation of his remarks as “my teacher” and that “As a student, why should I oppose my teacher? I would never do that.”
