Fall Guys beans are the perfect height to pat Among Us beans on the head Posted: 31 May 2021 03:15 PM PDT Turns out that the bean-like Fall Guys characters would be the perfect height to pat the bean-like Among Us crewmates on the head, should they ever exist in the same universe. The Among Us and Fall Guys Twitter accounts made the discovery on Monday. How? Well, it all started with this question from Chris on Twitter:
It's a good question. I can't believe I've never asked it myself before. The Among Us Twitter account then revealed that the crewmates in the game are three feet, six inches tall. Seems about right, though I honestly thought they were a little... |
EA’s new multiplayer dodgeball game is now free to play until you reach level 25 Posted: 31 May 2021 12:00 PM PDT EA just released its chaotic and fun new multiplayer dodgeball game, Knockout City, on May 21st, and for the launch, had put together a special promotion: the full game would be free to play until May 30th, after which you could pay $19.99 on the platform of your choice if you wanted to keep playing. (It's also included with an EA Play or Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription.) But on Sunday, EA and developer Velan Studios announced that even if you missed that window to try Knockout City without paying for it, you can still check it out without dropping a dime: the game is now free to try up until you level up your "Street Rank" (Knockout City's take on a Fortnite-like battle pass) to 25.

How bad is Google Photos’ compression anyway? Posted: 31 May 2021 11:27 AM PDT Google Photos has long offered one of the best deals in all of photo storage: it'll back up your entire library for free, so long as it can compress the images a bit. But as of tomorrow, June 1st, that deal goes away, and you're now eating through Google storage (which you may have to pay for) whether your images are compressed or not. With the change looming, I've been wondering how bad Google's compression actually is. Does the compression leave my photos in "High Quality," as Google has claimed for years? Or does the compression degrade my photos enough to make it worth using more storage by switching over to "Original Quality" backups? I ran some quick tests this morning to find out. I took some photos and videos from my Pixel 5 (one... |
Climate change responsible for about a third of heat deaths, study says Posted: 31 May 2021 09:55 AM PDT Heat is a killer — and climate change is driving up its body count. On average, about 37 percent of heat deaths can be tied back to human-caused climate change, according to a new study in Nature Climate Change. The study looked at data from 732 places in 43 countries over a period of about three decades, from 1991-2018. They used information including heat deaths and temperature readings from those places to build computer models that calculated how many deaths could be attributed to climate change. The numbers varied depending on location, with a larger percentage of climate-change related deaths occuring in warmer countries than cooler ones. Overall, about 166,000 people died of heat-related deaths between 1998 and 2017, according... |
Bacteria get a fresh gig as art restorers in Italy Posted: 31 May 2021 07:18 AM PDT Michelangelo's marbles in the Medici Chapel were looking dingy, so a team of art restorers decided to smear some bacteria on the situation. The specialized microbes cleaned up centuries of grime, leaving the marble statues with a fresh new look, The New York Times reports. The team selected specialized strains of bacteria to target different stains on the marble. Some types of bacteria can thrive in harsh environments and are adapted to eating things that can cause humans problems. These bacteria can break down things like pollutants into relatively harmless components. In this case, the team looked for bacterial strains that would eat away at the stains and other gunk, without harming the marble itself, and tested their top choices on... |
Xiaomi says it can now fully charge a phone in eight minutes at 200W Posted: 30 May 2021 08:53 PM PDT Xiaomi has shown off its latest fast charging tech demo, and consequently is claiming the new world records for both wired and wireless charging speeds. Using a modified Mi 11 Pro with a 4,000mAh battery, Xiaomi says it's able to fully charge the phone in 8 minutes over a 200W wired "HyperCharge" system, or in 15 minutes with 120W wireless charging. Charging speeds are a frequent battleground for Chinese smartphone companies, who often release demonstrations of breakthroughs that may or may not show up in final products. Two years ago, for example, Xiaomi announced a 100W system that could charge a 4,000mAh battery in 17 minutes, while last year's Mi 10 Ultra filled up in 23 minutes at 120W — though it did have a bigger 4,500mAh battery. ... |
