Brace yourselves: Google’s Pixel 4A is finally, probably coming Monday

With a rumored $349 price, OLED screen, Google's great camera, and a good-enough processor, the upcoming Pixel 4A sounds like it'll be a tough deal to beat for those who don't need a premium phone. And it looks like the phone will finally be launching on August 3rd.

Google has officially confirmed that a new Pixel phone is coming this Monday, and while there's a slight possibility it could be a different phone, Google itself had also leaked a picture of a phone last month that matches up with everything else we'd heard. Now, more renders of the phone have been leaked that appear to confirm a lot of the earlier rumors. Ishan Agarwal posted an image of the phone similar to ones we've seen previously and apparent confirmation of the...

How to watch two NASA astronauts journey home in SpaceX’s Crew Dragon capsule

Posted: 01 Aug 2020 02:10 PM PDT

This afternoon, NASA astronauts Bob Behnken and Doug Hurley are scheduled to start their journey back to Earth inside SpaceX's new Crew Dragon, bringing an end to their historic flight to the International Space Station. If all goes to plan, the two will splash down in the Crew Dragon off the western coast of Florida on Sunday afternoon.

Getting back to Earth from orbit is no easy task, and the two astronauts have a long trip ahead of them before they're back on solid ground. Once Behnken and Hurley undock from the space station, they'll spend the next 18 hours in orbit, slowly distancing themselves from the ISS, before making the dive into Earth's atmosphere. That begins a harrowing trip down to the surface, as the Crew Dragon...

Talks between Microsoft and TikTok parent company ByteDance were paused after President Trump voiced his opposition to the deal, The Wall Street Journal reported Saturday. And while the deal does not appear to be dead, both parties are reportedly trying to get a handle on where the Trump administration stands, and if it plans any future action against the Chinese-based video sharing app.

President Trump told reporters Friday he was planning to ban TikTok from operating in the US. "As far as TikTok is concerned, we're banning them from the United States," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One. Bloomberg reports the president said he was ready to sign a document to order the ban as early as today, either via an executive order or...

GeForce Now will now automatically sync to your Steam library

GeForce Now users can sync their Steam libraries to their accounts with Nvidia's new Game Sync feature. Compatible games will appear in the My Library section of Game Sync, Nvidia announced.

The "bring your own game" cloud service, which launched its paid tier earlier this year, allows users to play games purchased through other platforms— including Steam, the Epic Games STore, Battle.net, and Uplay— in the cloud. But searching for games in your Steam library that were compatible with GeForce Now was a bit of a slog.

The new feature will identify games in a user's Steam library supported by GeForce Now and will add them to the "My Library" list within the app automatically, Nvidia says. To sync your Steam account with your GeForce Now...

President Trump has told reporters he's planning to ban TikTok from operating in the US. "As far as TikTok is concerned, we're banning them from the United States," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Friday night. Bloomberg reports that Trump indicated he's ready to sign a document to order the ban as early as today, either via an executive order or emergency economic powers.

"I will sign the document tomorrow," said Trump on Friday night, indicating that a ban could take effect "essentially immediately."

The threat of a TikTok ban has been lingering since Secretary of State Mike Pompeo mentioned the possibility on July 7th, saying it was "something we're looking at." TikTok is a subsidiary of Beijing-based ByteDance, and...

Apple reportedly acquires startup that could turn iPhones into payment terminals

Apple has acquired a startup with technology that could turn iPhones into mobile payment terminals, Bloomberg reported. Montreal-based Mobeewave has tech that requires only an NFC chip to work, allowing users to tap either their smartphone or a credit card to another phone for payment processing. NFC chips have been included in iPhones since the iPhone 6. And while Apple Pay lets shoppers tap their iPhones to pay at a retail store, adding Mobeewave could allow any iPhone to accept payments without extra hardware like a card reader.

According to Bloomberg, Apple paid about $100 million for Mobeewave, and has retained its team of employees. Neither company would comment on the transaction. Rival phone manufacturer Samsung partnered with...

Vaccine trials have had a weird week. First, there was the exhilarating kickoff of two massive clinical trials for vaccines created by Moderna and Pfizer. Each company is hoping to recruit 30,000 volunteers to test whether its vaccine is effective and safe. This is normal.

What's not normal is a bunch of researchers in Boston who have decided to test a DIY coronavirus vaccine on themselves. At least 20 people have mixed together the vaccine and sprayed it up their noses as part of what they're calling the Rapid Deployment Vaccine Collaborative (Radvac), according to a truly wild MIT Technology Review story from editor Antonio Regalado.

Among the people testing the vaccine is Harvard University geneticist George Church. You may know him...

How the Trump administration could ‘ban’ TikTok

Posted: 31 Jul 2020 09:12 PM PDT

The Trump administration is apparently considering a ban on Chinese social media apps, including the popular video app TikTok. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo mentioned the possibility on July 7th, saying it was "something we're looking at" in a Fox News interview with Laura Ingraham — and on July 31st, President Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that he planned to personally ban the app using his own authority, instead of potentially forcing its Chinese owner to divest it.

The comments could easily have been bluster. But Pompeo also compared TikTok to Huawei and ZTE, two companies that have suffered very real consequences after drawing US government ire. With tension rising between the US and China, Trump trying to ban TikTok...
