According to the report, Samsung will be launching five devices at the event: Galaxy Z Fold 3 Galaxy Z Flip 3 Galaxy Watch 4 Galaxy Watch 4 Active Galaxy Buds 2 Notably, the new Galaxy Watches will be Samsung’s first to not use Tizen OS. Google collaborated with Samsung to revamp Wear OS from the ground up, making it smoother and more efficient. Hopefully, the devices are able to maintain the long battery life Samsung’s smartwatches have been known for, while having much greater compatibility with smartwatch apps via Wear OS....

Blass shared a few images of what appear to be billboard ad mockups for the new device. Notably, one of them shows the device price at $399. This isn’t a huge surprise, as it’s the same price Google used for the 3a last year, but it’s nice to see Google isn’t following the trend of higher prices every year. [Read: Pixel 4a hands-on video leaves little for Google to announce] A few other images also show off some of the cleanest looks at the new design, including the hole-punch camera — a first for Google — and the somewhat misleading square camera module on the back....

Now, leaked Android 12 screenshots indicate that Google might bring some of these features to the upcoming version of its mobile OS.. Mishaal Rahman and his team at XDA Developers have got their hands on an unreleased Android 12 version that uncovers plenty of new features, including enhanced privacy controls. The report noted that the upcoming version will have a “Show clipboard access” toggle in privacy settings. If enabled, it’ll show you a notification indicating that an app is accessing your clipboard....

But, I had to decide what my secondary handset would be. I almost chose the Pixel 3 XL (which I had been using for months), but instead, I went for the Huawei P30 Pro – mostly because of its quad-camera system. And after using it consistently during my travel I was convinced that my choice was right. I’ll talk about the camera results in a bit. First, the camera specs: The P30 Pro...

Despite all of our differences, there are a few universal truths about essentially everyone who finds their way to the web. Man, woman or child, everyone surfing the net wants to be entertained and informed while remaining safe from online harm. They’re basic digital rights we’d all like to enjoy. So to make it easy, The Epic Entertainment at Home App Bundle ft. Tidal ($189.99, 64 percent off, from TNW Deals) attempts to put a nice, simple bow with one tidy price around that entire idea....

The breakthrough came after years of tests on Ian Burkhart, who severed his spinal cord in a 2010 diving accident, leaving him with paralysis in his hands and legs. In 2014, researchers from Battelle, a nonprofit research organization in Ohio, tried to restore his hand motion by surgically implanting a brain-computer interface (BCI) inside his skull. The BCI collects electrical signals used to move the body and sends them down a cable from his head to a PC....

In the last quarter, the company posted a record revenue of $41.7 billion with 19% year-on-year growth. Its profit for that quarter was $15.5 billion — a 44% jump from 2020. While most verticles from 2019, remain the same, the company’s cloud offerings have consistently shown tremendous expansion. Apple is the only other publically traded American company with a market cap above $2 trillion. Saudi Arabian il company Saudi Aramco has previously passed this milestone, but its current valuation is under that mark....

Here’s what we’ve found: A cryptocurrency exec is suing AT&T over a SIM swapping hack which he claims cost him $1.7 million in digital assets. Seth Shapiro claimed in his lawsuit, submitted on October 17 in US District Court for the Central District of California, that the cell carrier gave hackers repeated access to his SIM card in May 2018, enabling them to empty his cryptocurrency wallets on 11 exchanges, according to CoinDesk....

To that effect, the two companies are exploring the idea of data trusts, a proposed data collection approach that aims to provide individuals with greater control over their personal information. The aim, the companies said, is to offer an alternative model to the current broken consent-based system of data collection such as the EU GDPR regulations. It’s easy to see why. As artificial intelligence and machine learning (ML) continues to infiltrate different aspects of our day-to-day lives, the technology is now doing more than ever — for both good and bad....

With NASA’s new exoplanet-hunter space telescope TESS, the all-sky search is on for possibly habitable planets close to our solar system. TESS — orbiting Earth every 13.7 days — and ground-based telescopes are poised to find hundreds of planets over the next few years. This could transform astronomers’ understanding of alien worlds around us and provide targets to scan with next-generation telescopes for signatures of life. In just over a year, TESS has identified more than 1,200 planetary candidates, 29 of which astronomers have already confirmed as planets....

Daryl Morey, the general manager of the Houston Rockets, took to Twitter last week in support of the people of Hong Kong. While his single tweet on the matter wasn’t necessarily controversial (he said “Fight for freedom, stand with Hong Kong.”), it was enough to prompt an immediate apology from the NBA and retaliation from China. The owner of the Houston Rockets – which, by the way, is the most popular team in China thanks to the fact that native legend Yao Ming played his career there – quickly issued a tweet disavowing Morey’s comments:...

This is why people are asking friends of friends and even cold-messaging random employees on LinkedIn in hopes of getting a referral. But what if you don’t know anyone who can do you a solid? Well, there’s a startup that wants to connect you to an employee at the company of your dreams who will vouch for your skills — for a fee, that is. Meet Rooftop Slushie — a site created by the founders of anonymous tech forum Blind — which has facilitated nearly 11,000 referral purchases since launching in 2019, according to an investigation by OneZero....

Up front: Astronomers classify galaxies by shape to understand how they form and evolve. But this can be a time-consuming job. The researchers used convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures to hasten the task. Per the preprint paper: The team developed a CNN architecture that outperforms existing models in classifying the morphologies of galaxies in both 3-class (elliptical, lenticular, spiral) and 4-class (+irregular/miscellaneous) schema. Its overall classification accuracies were 83% and 81% respectively....

Roughly 4.5 billion years ago, Theia — a Mars-sized world — is thought to have collided with the upper crust of the Earth, a region of our planet relatively poor in metals. This impact kicked large quantities of material into orbit around the Earth, which coalesced into the Moon. This idea would suggest that metals would also be rare on the Moon. However, radar observations of the Moon suggest relatively large quantities of metals in some craters on our planetary companion....

Nintendo has purportedly boosted production goals for its smash-hit portable gaming console, the Switch, raising the bar to as much as 30 million units for the fiscal year. Bloomberg reports the Japanese giant has asked its assembly partners to increase production by 20%. That is the second time the company has recently raised its production orders after it bumped the number to 25 million earlier in August. But that number has since proven insufficient....

I suggested at the time that Nintendo should reward her devotion by making her an NPC in the next Animal Crossing game (there was then a big push for Bethesda to pay similar tribute to “Skyrim grandma,” hence where the idea came from)....

On Saturday, Bhavish Aggarwal, the company’s CEO, made some even bolder statements about Ola’s EV, as reported by Indian outlet News18. Speaking at the company’s manufacturing plant in Tamil Nadu, Aggarwal said that Ola will be entering the autonomous vehicle segment. Specifically, it’s developing autonomous driving features that will debut in its upcoming four-wheeler both for the Indian and the global markets. Here’s a look at what the EV will probably look like: Ambitiously, the CEO stated that the tech will not only be able to compete with Tesla and Rivian, but also roll out by early 2024 at the latest....

But it turns out the device is coming to the US after all – and with 5G to boot. The company is partnering with T-Mobile to release a variant of the OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren Edition with 5G in the US. The McLaren Edition of the Pro comes with a massive 12GB of RAM instead of the 8GB in the regular Pro and 7T. It also has a snazzy orange and black design matching the McLaren brand....
