  • The SpaceX Spacecraft carrying tourists returned safely to earth

    The SpaceX Spacecraft carrying tourists returned safely to earth

    The spaceship landed in the water with the same level of automation as the rest of the mission. SpaceX, a private space corporation located in the United States, is flying just Crew Dragon, a spacecraft carrying only amateur astronauts, and is finishing a three-day journey around Earth named Inspiration4 with parachutes that successfully dropped into the Atlantic Ocean on Saturday night.

    In calm weather, the spacecraft landed at 7 a.m. US Eastern Time, not far from Florida. The return flight was just as automated as the rest of the flight. Jared Isaacman, Sian Proctor, Hayley Arceneaux, and Chris Sembroski were among the four astronauts that joyfully exited from the Crew Dragon. This life was streamed live on YouTube by SpaceX.

    Frictional heat scorched the outer surface of the spacecraft, and frictional heat burned the outer surface of the spaceship, as shown in the photos. The frictional heat burnt the spaceship’s exterior surface once more. Onboard, the astronauts were still subjected to a medical examination. They were then flown to the Cape Canaveral Space Center by helicopter.

    The spaceship has now orbited Earth for the first time with a team of amateur astronauts. On Wednesday afternoon, the Crew Dragon, a Dragon Class 2 spacecraft with a Falcon 9 launch vehicle, was launched from Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

    It then orbited the Earth at nearly 30,000 kilometers per hour and a half, at 580 kilometers, or higher than the International Space Station (ISS) orbit.

    The astronauts had a good time, but they also did medical research. Netflix will also produce a documentary about the journey. The money raised will go to a children’s hospital in Tennessee in the United States.

  • Google search now offers a dark mode option

    Google search now offers a dark mode option

    Google has lately made it possible for anyone to customize the look of their search engine in their browser. Google’s mobile UI has long had a battery- and eye-friendly dark mode to extend battery life, and now it’s available on the desktop as well.

    Go to the Google search page first and press Settings (bottom or top right). Select the Search Options submenu if you have one.

    Click the Appearance option in the left section of the window to choose whether you want to use the viewfinder in light or dark mode or if the setting adapts to your system settings. The latter implies that the Google interface is always customized to the operating system’s appearance.

    The dark mode is already active after saving the adjustment.

    You may speed up the process by visiting this link and changing the look right now.
  • A new warning alert will be added to TikTok, which can help protect users

    A new warning alert will be added to TikTok, which can help protect users

    In the future, TikTok wants to help those who are tormented by negative thoughts.

    The spread of harmful content is a severe problem on Facebook, YouTube, and TikTok. Therefore, the company will warn users in the future if an in-app search results in a “worrying hit.”

    TikTok has previously introduced a warning that appeared before sensitive content. Still, now a search result will also appear on the search results page if the search terms are expected to return such a result. In such cases, it is not the videos that will appear but the warning itself. Here, users can choose to ignore this.

    The company also wants to provide more severe help than before to those looking for self-abuse content. A warning will pop up in which TikTok will tell you where those with mental and spiritual problems can seek help.

    In addition, the app shows content where users can hear their advice on how someone can discuss their issues with friends and loved ones. The novelty will be available to U.S. users for the time being but will hopefully be introduced elsewhere later.

  • MediaTek Dimensity 2000 launches against Snapdragon 898 and Exynos 2200

    MediaTek Dimensity 2000 launches against Snapdragon 898 and Exynos 2200

    It looks like MediaTek will finally delight us with an actual flagship chipset in dimensity 2000. The chipset will challenge Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 898 and Exynos 2200, and it could even be above them in terms of energy efficiency due to the manufacturing process used.

    Last week, MediaTek was first heard to be fighting Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 898 chipset with dimensity 2000 chipset, and one of the most significant advantages of the former could be the lower cost. It seems that Dimensity 2000 can surpass Qualcomm’s development in another critical way: energy efficiency. According to a recent report, the chipset will be made through TSMC’s 4-nanometer production process.

    MediaTek’s decision could be an excellent step because TSMC has been a significant advantage over Samsung’s manufacturing processes for some time. For example, the Snapdragon 888 and Exynos 2100 both have a 5-nanometer stripe width (both manufactured by Samsung), and none are renowned for their excellent efficiency. TSMC has been better lately, and this advantage is expected to be maintained in applying the 4-nanometer production process.

    In practice, this would mean that the MediaTek Dimensity 2000, based on the ARM V9 architecture, would offer much better efficiency than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 898 or Exynos 2200, which are expected to be produced using Samsung’s 4-nanometer production process. You might be able to bring up against MediaTek’s chip that dimensity 2000 will perform slightly worse in terms of graphics acceleration than its challengers. Still, the lower price can compensate for this.

  • The camera sunglasses from Facebook have been leaked

    The camera sunglasses from Facebook have been leaked

    Today, Thursday, Ray-Ban Stories is launched. I’m sure there’s a method to do it. According to reports, Facebook will officially introduce its new product, sunglasses created in conjunction with Ray-Ban, on September 9.

    However, Evan Blass, known for having early access to information about similar events, kept his word and tweeted the official product photographs of the glasses hours before the scheduled presentation. Three models can be predicted based on these, although there is likely no difference in knowledge.

    Furthermore, the photographs revealed that the sunglasses might record video, as they include a camera hole on their side, near the frame’s edge. And, given that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been using the product for days, we may have had a sense of the recording’s quality. He made many videos while doing so. Here’s a new one for you:

    https://www.facebook.com/4/videos/598695067967180/

    There isn’t even a preliminary estimate of the price of the glasses, but it’s safe to assume that the box also includes an eye-opening case and the charging wire.

    Facebook has dubbed the device Ray-Ban Stories, implying that the photographs and videos captured with it can be shared on the social media site’s Stories area. But for the time being, it’s all supposition.

  • Apple working on an autonomous vehicle

    Apple working on an autonomous vehicle

    Bloomberg previously reported that Apple has been working on autonomous vehicles since 2014, but the project is still in its very early stages.

    “Apple has lost the first person in its car project,” Wrote The Verge, citing the official announcement. Doug Field had previously led this work of the apple company, but Ford had since signed the expert; the contract has already been concluded. The Field will be responsible for the company’s embedded systems.

    Apple commented on the change in a terse statement, which is likely further to hamper the company’s work on autonomous vehicles. According to Bloomberg, they have been going on since 2014, but they are still in the early stages due to the changes tracked in the project.

    The Verge notes that Field was also vice president of special projects for Apple, including working on the company’s first electric car. The concept runs under the name Project Titan.

    At least that’s what the company’s employees refer to it. Before that, the specialist was also involved in hardware development of the manufacturer’s Mac computers, and in 2013 he went to Tesla to perform engineering tasks. From there, however, he returned to Apple in 2018.

    It is not yet known who will replace Field at the iPhone maker, although, in June, Apple signed former BMW chief Ulrich Kranz, who also worked on the i3 EV and i8 hybrid sports cars.

  • The future is near: China is building a long 1.5-kilometer-long spacecraft to explore cosmos

    The future is near: China is building a long 1.5-kilometer-long spacecraft to explore cosmos

    China has been an emerging great power since the 1980s, mainly thanks to technical modernization, which is made possible by very cautious and conservative political reforms.

    The space program was launched in the Far Eastern country after the first satellite, the Soviet Sputnik-1. Still, it was not until 1980, with the establishment of an Astronaut Training Center near Shanghai and the creation of the Chinese National Space Agency (CNSA) in 1993.

    [ads1]

    In the 2000s, lunar probes were launched, mars exploration probes were launched in the 2010s, thinking-1 formed its own (experimental) space station for China. The next step could be a kilometer-long spacecraft suitable for cosmic space travel.

    The South China Morning Post reports that the Asian country plans to build an ultra-long spacecraft of between 1 and 1.5 kilometers in modular form, loaded in several pieces in space. The project would start with a grant of approximately 15 million yuan (2.3 million dollars).

    The plan is to spend five years in the first round of development at the Chinese National Natural History Foundation, which plans the spacecraft. This monstrous aims to make better use of space resources in the future, explore even more parts of the universe and live in orbit around these targets in the long term.

    Research and development aim to include new, modern lightweight building blocks, thanks to which the number of building materials that need to be fired into space can be significantly reduced. In addition, new technologies are being developed as part of the five-year plan to assemble massive structures in or near-Earth orbit safely.

    Of course, the cost could increase significantly: Scientific American has spoken to NASA’s head of technology, Mason Peck, who, by comparison, said that the total length of the International Space Station (ISS) is only 110 meters, but today it would cost roughly $100 billion to build.

    The size of the Chinese cosmic spacecraft is ten times that, so you can imagine how much money should be spent on it. That is why a long R&D phase is needed to optimize building materials and elements, including costs. According to Peck, 3D printing is a good option, but it may also be worth considering the moon’s raw materials, although the latter would first require extraction on the heavenly god.

    The NASA scientist outlined several other problems to be solved, including difficulties with maneuvering due to its enormous size, deflection and vibration, cosmic radiation, and the current technological level, which also makes sending up a simple space capsule a complex, complicated process, not to mention the maintenance of such large structures and space stations.

  • Elon Musk has a new enemy now: Pigeons

    Elon Musk has a new enemy now: Pigeons

    The Internet test for Starlink satellites is not error-free: the plates required for reception are vegetated by pigeons based on the feedback. The company is interested in Elon Musk.

    A trial test of a satellite Internet service called Starlink is in full swing, which has encountered unexpected phenomena in several places: the BBC reports that the receivers were planted on the receivers, so the reception was not perfect.

    Starlink, an interest in Elon Musk, has been promising to launch a reasonably priced Internet service for a long time. Still, chip shortages and the coronavirus pandemic have hampered the process. In these weeks, however, several households (mainly American) can already use the new type of Internet (albeit only in beta), including a particular plate-shaped structure.

    The latter is the antenna that communicates with hundreds of satellites in Earth’s orbit. However, similar to the plate, the unit appealed to pigeons and was integrated into several places, such as nests.

    According to the BBC article, although the phenomenon was not suitable for the service, it was not extensive or significant. However, consumers have experienced an hour-long service outage in several places, but Starlink has not explained these cases.

    The Internet from space, Musk promises, can provide download speeds of at least 300 Mbps, but that depends mainly on the location of the area. Customers who are already using it have measured download speeds of 150-200 Mbps and upload speeds of 10-20 Mbps

  • WhatsApp backs down: it doesn’t seem to be mandatory to accept the new terms

    WhatsApp backs down: it doesn’t seem to be mandatory to accept the new terms

    WhatsApp users were shocked when it turned out that the standard contractual terms were changing unfavorably for them. The outrage became so much that the chat service was retreating.

    Although Facebook, which acquired WhatsApp, had previously distanced itself from significant changes to the chat service, it later changed its mind. He wanted to get chat users to accept the new terms and conditions while handing over their data to the largest social network. The first deadline for this was 8 February 2021.

    “Understandably, there was a huge outcry, so much so that a lot of people were switching chat services,” he said. The deadline was later pushed back to 15 May, but the rather strict consequences for those who would not accept the new conditions were not changed. Although they wouldn’t have deleted their account, they restricted their use.

    The latest information is now about another retreat in terms and conditions.

    WABetaInfo understands that WhatsApp is revamping these terms and conditions so that acceptance is optional, except in a single case. If someone wants to send a message to business accounts that use cloud service providers, they can only do so if they agree to the terms.

    WhatsApp plans to announce a change in the GTC soon and will issue an update that supports this amendment. We can finally consider the case closed,” wabetainfosays, optimistic.

  • Fake news travels six times quicker on Facebook than actual news

    Fake news travels six times quicker on Facebook than actual news

    Hundreds of content-sharing sites that frequently post on Facebook have been scrutinized by two foreign institutions.

    [ads1]

    According to their research, half-truths and deceptive posts are easy to spot among reliable and credible material, giving them a better opportunity to spread harmful viewpoints. There’s nothing to be concerned about, according to Facebook.

    The proliferation of fake news on social media is not harmless, as evidenced by reputable test results: hundreds of people died in the first year of the coronavirus pandemic because they believed half-truths on Facebook, among other things. Two higher education institutions, the University of New York and the University of Grenoble-Alpes in France, launched research not expressly for this purpose but because of the subject’s importance.

    According to results validated by external specialists, a post distributed for deception can garner six times as much attention (comment, reaction) on Facebook as a factual news story. Between August and January of this year, the researchers looked at 2,500 news-sharing sites on Facebook. According to The Washington Post, the findings also revealed that right-wing content creators were considerably more likely to share such pieces.

    The study drew Facebook’s attention, but it didn’t pique their interest. They cautioned that the investigation did not uncover anything within reach and that this was the true objective. This graph depicts the number of people who view the information in the News Feed.

    However, the study discovered only a limited amount of evidence that users responded to postings containing incorrect information, at least during the study period, by commenting on or liking the post, for example.

    On the other hand, Facebook is not involved in making access data available to other parties (say, researchers). According to the Washington Post, these could have been approximated using a gadget called CrowdTangle, but this is no longer viable. The application is owned by Facebook, which explains the phenomenon.

    Following the Cambridge Analytica debacle, it implemented several restrictions on third-party software, including CrowdTangle’s use. Facebook is also quick to point out that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has ruled against them, claiming that they have no choice but to follow the law.

    On the other hand, the US body does not consider the situation serious, and the company claims that it does not adequately cover reality.

  • App comparison feature on Google Play Store

    App comparison feature on Google Play Store

    To make it simpler to choose, Google is testing a feature on the Play Store that lets you compare apps in the same category. It should be noted that testing a feature does not guarantee that it will be included in the application’s final public release, but in any case, the topic of our essay would make perfect sense.

    The “Compare” menu in an experimental version can be found near the bottom of the app datasheet. Only media players can currently be used to compare it, but it is clear how helpful such a feature may be. The ability to project the content you’re watching onto your TV or not, visual quality, the convenience of use, interface, and offline playback are just a few of the criteria used to compare apps. The android police force started paying close attention to the feature.

    This new option is most likely based on feedback from users who prefer to write reviews under different apps. This way, we could not only choose the best one for us based on the score, but we could also look at several aspects. Many times, by the way, an app is scored or scored for really amazing reasons, so the number of stars cannot be said to be authentic in all respects. It is a personal experience that a three-star app often solves the annoying problem that more rated apps have not solved.

    Either way, this new feature is only part of a testing process and is only available to certain users for now. If your device is running Google Play Store version 22.4.28, there’s a chance you’ll see compare, which hopefully will be included in the final version because the ability to compare apps based on certain criteria would shorten the path to finding the right software for you.

  • Problem with the Instagram app, it keeps jamming all over the world

    Problem with the Instagram app, it keeps jamming all over the world

    So far, thousands of users worldwide have indicated that the Instagram app is not working correctly.

    Since early Thursday afternoon, there has been an increase in errors in Instagram operation on Downdetector. Users who send a signal to the page say the problem is multi-faceted: in addition to not updating News Feed, you can’t post or post Insta stories.

    In our experience, the problem can be similar for users: when the application is started, an error message is given, according to which

    “The stream of contents could not be updated.”

    Scroll through the content to see that the most recent post appeared on Instagram seven days ago.

    The company has not yet spoken out about the error, so it is not known when it will be ready to be repaired. What is certain is that the problem is worldwide because down detector users from Nigeria to Croatia to the United States have reported a block.

  • LG Activated 6G – and it worked!

    LG Activated 6G – and it worked!

    LG successfully demonstrated data transmission and reception in the wireless 6G terahertz (THz) spectrum over more than 100 meters in an outdoor situation.

    In collaboration with Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, Europe’s largest applied research laboratory, the company reached this technological milestone. Because 6G THz technology is only short-range and power loss occurs during antenna transmission and reception, one of the most difficult challenges in developing wireless 6G was to increase performance, which was required to generate a stable signal at ultra-wideband frequencies, LG explains in a statement.

    This is why the performance amplifier developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Solid State Physics is a crucial component that contributed to the test’s success. In the frequency range of 155 to 175 GHz, the power amplifier can deliver a consistent signal output of up to 15 dBm.

    LG has implemented adaptive beamforming technology and high-profit antenna switching with great success. The former adjusts the signal’s direction in response to changes in the channel and receiver’s positions. At the same time, the latter mixes and sends the output signals of many power amplifiers to specified antennas.

    6G networks will offer considerably faster wireless transmission and communication with low latency and excellent dependability after worldwide standardization in 2025 and commercialization four years later.

    According to LG, 6G will be a crucial component of the Ambient Internet of Everything, an emerging technology that recognizes human presence and preferences to make the home and business environment more sensitive, flexible, autonomous, and personalized based on user wants.
