Later this year Samsung will finally kill off its S Voice assistant, which never really caught up to Apple's Siri. A note on Samsung's support page says S Voice will no longer be available from June 1, as first reported by SamMobile.

Samsung's first attempt at a voice assistant, S Voice was introduced in 2012 in the Galaxy S III, but was buggy and slow. As 9to5 Google notes, S Voice could set reminders and make calls but wasn't able to answer user questions in a conversational way, like Siri and Google Assistant are designed to do.

Samsung essentially replaced S Voice with Bixby in phones starting with the Galaxy S8 (although Bixby itself hasn't exactly impressed reviewers from The Verge over its lifespan, either). A few of Samsung's...

Research firm Canalys has released its quarterly estimates on global PC shipments for Q1, and despite a surge in demand, "severe delays in production and logistical issues," meant an 8 percent drop in shipments year-over-year. Both the demand and the delays are related to the coronavirus pandemic; while many people are working remotely and students are engaged in distance learning because of stay-at-home directives, disruptions to the supply chain, especially in China, meant shipments of computers were delayed.

In Q1 2020, vendors shipped 53.7 million units, Canalys found. The new data estimates Lenovo led the PC market, with 12.8 million units shipped in Q1, a 4.4 percent year-over-year decline. HP shipped 11.7 million units, or 13.8...

Today is the 50th anniversary of the launch of the Apollo 13 mission that never made it to the moon, the one where Commander Jim Lovell uttered the phrase "Houston, we've had a problem." NASA calls the mission a "successful failure," because even though an explosion crippled the primary spacecraft two days in, Lovell and fellow crewmembers Fred Haise and Jack Swigert returned safely to Earth thanks to the determined work of the ground crew at Mission Control.

NASA isn't planning in-person activities to commemorate the event due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but has released a documentary with archival footage from the mission. Apollo 13: Home Safe includes interviews with Lovell (it opens with him saying "it was plagued by bad omens and...
