How to take better night photos with the Pixel 6 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro, or digital camera

Posted: 26 Jan 2022 07:00 AM PST

A moon set can make for dramatic photos of the night sky.

I always thought that taking a photo of the night sky meant mounting expensive cameras onto heavy telescopes and having extensive knowledge of the stars. But for the latest episode of my YouTube video series Full Frame, I flew 2,000 miles away from the big city lights of NYC to meet Bettymaya Foott, astrophotographer and director of engagement for the International Dark-Sky Association, who taught me how to capture incredible photos of the stars using cameras I already owned. What once seemed like a monumental task, involving deep knowledge of the cosmos, quickly turned into an incredibly peaceful but also incredibly cold night under the stars.

Here is everything I learned about capturing a great photo of the night sky:

The climate solution in California’s compost and crops

Scaling up composting, tree-planting, and other sustainable agricultural practices in California could trap about a quarter of the state's annual carbon dioxide emissions by 2030, according to a new report. These strategies for drawing down greenhouse gases are cheaper and easier to ramp up than technological alternatives, like devices that suck planet-heating CO2 out of the air, and should play a key role in the state's efforts to address climate change, the report authors argue.

Although it often leads the nation in setting aggressive climate goals, California is also a state with one of the biggest carbon footprints, making it imperative that the state consider a wide range of strategies for reducing emissions. That could include...

Windows 11 is getting Android apps, taskbar improvements, and more next month

Posted: 26 Jan 2022 06:21 AM PST

Microsoft is planning to launch a public preview of its Android apps for Windows 11 next month, alongside some taskbar improvements and redesigned Notepad and Media Player apps. Windows chief Panos Panay outlined the upcoming changes to Windows 11 in a blog post today, and they appear to be part of Windows 11's first big update.

The taskbar improvements include a mute and unmute feature and likely the ability to show a clock on secondary monitors. Both were missing at the launch of Windows 11, but Microsoft is still working on improving the taskbar further to bring back missing functionality like drag and drop.

The upcoming Windows 11 next month will also include the weather widget returning to the taskbar, something Microsoft started...

Elroy Air, a startup that wants to make cargo deliveries using autonomous hybrid-electric aircraft, has unveiled its pre-production craft: the Chapparral.

Described by Elroy Air's co-founder Clint Cope as "a hybrid between a rough-and-ready helicopter and a battle-hardened bush plane," the Chaparral is a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) craft that transitions between hovering using eight vertical fans and forward flight using four swiveling propellers. A hybrid-electric powertrain gives it a range of up to 300 miles (482km) and a cargo capacity of 300 to 500lbs (136 to 226kg). Goods are loaded into an underslung pod that can autonomously be picked up and dropped off.

"The Chaparral will be a vital logistics link for people around...

Xiaomi announces Redmi Note 11 series with iPhone-style flat sides

Posted: 26 Jan 2022 05:00 AM PST

Xiaomi has announced the Redmi Note 11 series, continuing its popular line of budget-friendly handsets that sell in huge numbers in India and various other markets.

There are four phones in total, but they only differentiate themselves in a few specific areas. All of them have what Xiaomi describes as a "trendy flat-edge body" — in other words, yes, it looks like an iPhone — and most of the specs are shared across at least two models. Here's how it all breaks down:

  • The Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G is the highest-end model and has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor with 5G support. The screen is a 6.67-inch 120Hz 1080p OLED panel, there's a 5,000mAh battery with 67W fast charging, and a 108-megapixel main camera backed by an 8-megapixel...

Will your PC run Crysis 4? We’re about to find out

Posted: 26 Jan 2022 04:48 AM PST

Crytek has teased a new entry in its long-running Crysis series in a short trailer posted from its Twitter account. "Join the journey. Become the hero," the trailer reads as it displays a large "4." The announcement comes almost nine years after the release of the last numbered entry in the Crysis series, Crysis 3, which was released on February 19th, 2013.

The official Crysis 4 teaser comes just hours after Crytek China appeared to confirm news of the game early in a post on Chinese social media site BiliBili. Its post, which now appears to have been deleted, said "The 'Crysis 4' project is confirmed, opening a new nano battlefield!" when translated into English, according to Eurogamer.

So long, Self-Driving Coalition for Safer Streets; hello, Autonomous Vehicle Industry Association!

The AV industry's top lobbying group in Washington, DC is rebranding, dropping the reference to "self-driving" in exchange for a more straightforward moniker. The group, which was founded in 2016 by Waymo, Ford, Lyft, Uber, and Volvo, lobbies lawmakers to pass legislation favorable to its members. It has since grown to include the top AV operators in the country, including Cruise, Aurora, Argo AI, Motional, Nuro, and Zoox.

It's the latest move by the AV industry to distance itself from the term "self-driving," which many observers interpret as an...

Huawei, the embattled Chinese tech giant that continues to be the target of strict US sanctions, has announced that its flagship P50 Pro and foldable P50 Pocket will be sold outside of China. The P50 Pro will cost €1,199 (around $1,353), while the P50 Pocket will start at €1,299 (around $1,466). Huawei's press release says the two phones will be available in "key markets across Asia Pacific, The Middle East & Africa, Europe and Latin America," but declined to say exactly when and where.

Nevertheless, at those prices, and without access to key Google apps and services like the Google Play Store, both devices will represent interesting curios rather than anything you should seriously consider buying. Sanctions have also impacted Huawei's...
