| Google may be working on an answer to Apple’s device-locating network Posted: 18 Jun 2021 01:44 PM PDT  Google may be working on turning Android phones into a hivemind capable of finding lost devices, similar to Apple's Find My network, according to analysis done by 9to5Google. A toggle for the feature showed up in a beta of Google Play Services, with code referencing the ability for phones to help locate other devices, potentially signaling that Android phones could soon become easier to find. According to Google's support page, the current Find My Device system can only find phones that are powered on, have a data or Wi-Fi signal, and have location services enabled. At this early stage, it's unclear which, if any, of those limitations the relay network feature — apparently called Spot — would solve, but when you're looking for a lost... |
| YouTube will bring picture-in-picture to iPhones and iPads Posted: 18 Jun 2021 12:27 PM PDT  The YouTube app on iOS will be getting picture-in-picture support, allowing all users to watch videos while doing other things on their iPhones and iPads. A YouTube spokesperson told The Verge that the feature is currently rolling out to Premium subscribers, and that a launch for all iOS users (including the free ones) in the US is in the works. Apple added support for picture-in-picture video for iPads with iOS 9, and brought it to iPhones with iOS 14. Since then, YouTube's support for the feature on iPhones and iPads has been spotty — it works for iPad if you're using Safari (though some have reported it doesn't work for non-Premium subscribers); iPhone users have only been able to access the feature periodically. That complication... |
| We may have our first look at Ring’s Car Cam Posted: 18 Jun 2021 11:01 AM PDT  We may have gotten our first look at Ring's dashcam, courtesy of The Tape Drive, which posted an image of a Ring-branded camera that looks like it's made to fit on a car's dashboard. Based on a support article which Zats Not Funny discovered (and claims may have been published inadvertently) Ring's Car Cam will have Alexa integration and the ability to start recording if you tell it you've been pulled over. The Car Cam was originally announced by the Amazon-owned company in September as a dashboard-mounted device which would record both the inside and outside of the vehicle, and was priced at $199. However, the support article about the Car Cam that's been posted on Ring's site says that the camera attaches to the windshield as well.... |
| How to get a Tesla Model S Plaid to go from 0 to 60 in under 2 seconds Posted: 18 Jun 2021 09:04 AM PDT  Tesla's been talking up its Model S Plaid as "the quickest production car ever" claiming it can go from 0-60 in a blistering 1.99 seconds. It's a claim that's drawn a lot of raised eyebrows from car enthusiasts and experts. Can it really go that fast? Turns out, it can. But only under some incredibly specific Tesla-dictated conditions. That's what Motor Trend found when it got an exclusive chance to test out the Model S Plaid. Instead of letting the publication put the car through its paces on its usual test track, Tesla's PR insisted that their drivers use a specific test track, and drive that track in a particular way. Under Tesla's conditions, Motor Trend went 0-60 in 1.98 seconds, running a quarter-mile in just 9.25 seconds. The... |
| PSA: If you enrolled in an energy saver program, your smart thermostat may adjust itself Posted: 18 Jun 2021 07:52 AM PDT  Texas' energy grid, which failed spectacularly over the winter during a stretch of historically cold weather, will be put to the test again this weekend, as temperatures across much of the state are forecast to be in the upper 90s. Despite assurances from Gov. Greg Abbott that "everything that needed to be done was done to fix the power grid in Texas," earlier this week the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) urged customers to adjust thermostats to 78 degrees or higher and cut back on electricity use for several days. Texas residents with smart thermostats are eligible for a number of programs, sweepstakes, and discounts which effectively allow energy providers to adjust their thermostats remotely during periods of high... |
| Earth has been trapping heat at an alarming new rate, study finds Posted: 18 Jun 2021 07:32 AM PDT  The amount of heat trapped by Earth's land, ocean, and atmosphere doubled over the course of just 14 years, a new study shows. To figure out how much heat the earth was trapping, researchers looked at NASA satellite measurements that tracked how much of the Sun's energy was entering Earth's atmosphere and how much was being bounced back into space. They compared this with data from NOAA buoys that tracked ocean temperatures — which gives them an idea of how much heat is getting absorbed into the ocean. The difference between the amount of heat absorbed by Earth, and the amount reflected back into space is called an energy imbalance. In this case, they found that from 2005 to 2019, the amount of heat absorbed by Earth was going up. Their... |
| This alien-like metal may one day power your electronics Posted: 18 Jun 2021 07:00 AM PDT  Bismuth is a heavy, brittle metal that forms colorful geometric crystals when melted and then slowly cooled. It's most commonly known as a main ingredient in Pepto Bismol — less commonly known as bismuth subsalicylate. And someday soon, it might be used to help power your electronics. Scientists like Robert Hoye, a lecturer in the department of materials at Imperial College London, are using bismuth-based compounds in photovoltaics — materials that convert light into energy. Bismuth has unique electronic properties that not only make it a good candidate for solar cells, but make it great for indoor use — a place where traditional photovoltaics don't perform too well. That means it might one day replace the need for batteries in billions... |
| Elon Musk’s Boring Company reportedly pitching wider tunnels that could transport freight Posted: 18 Jun 2021 06:32 AM PDT  The Boring Company has been pitching potential clients on a much wider tunnel than any it has built so far, Bloomberg reported, which could be used to transport freight. Since its inception in 2016, the Elon Musk-helmed tunneling startup has been focused on tunnels that would transport passengers, with a goal to "solve the problem of soul-destroying traffic" in cities. But the new pitch deck Bloomberg obtained shows how wider tunnels could be used for transporting freight, something that would greatly expand Boring's potential business. According to Bloomberg, the company's new pitch includes tunnels that are 21 feet in diameter, nearly twice the size of the 12-foot tunnels the company has built so far, which could accommodate two... |
