Yurt dışına araçla çıkmak istiyorsanız mutlaka yeşil sigorta yani uluslar arası trafik sigorta poliçesi (green card ) yaptırmalısınız, bu sigorta yurtdışında karıştığınız bir kaza neticesinde karşı tarafa verdiğiniz hasarı karşılamak için ülkeye girişte mutlaka isteniyor.
 Yurtdışına çıkacağınız araç kendi üzerinize olmalı veya araç sahibinin noterden size vekalet vermesi gereklidir. Türkiyede Turing firması bu sigortaya yapmaya yetkili. Turing firmasının fiyatları oldukça pahalı. Bir diğer alternatif çözüm ise başka ülkeden yeşil sigorta yaptırmak. Bu sigorta uluslar arası olduğu için herhangi bir ülkeden yaptırabilirsiniz. Bulgaristandan yapılan yeşil sigorta fiyat olarak en cazip olan sigortadır. Türkiyede yapılan sigortadan tek eksiği balkan ülkelerinde yani (Arnavutluk, Kosova, Sırbistan, Makedonya, Bosna) da geçmez. Diğer yerlere sıkıntısız girebilirsiniz.
Sizde ucuz yeşi sigorta yaptırmak istiyorsanız  whatsaptan iletişim kurabilirsiniz. 2 gün içerisinde sigortanızı ücretsiz kargo ile yolluyoruz. Sigortanız istediğiniz tarihten başlar.

  1. Its such as you learn my thoughts! You seem to understand so much about this, such as you wrote the ebook in it or something.
    I believe that you just can do with a few percent
    to force the message house a bit, however instead of that, that is
    magnificent blog. An excellent read. I will certainly be back.

  2. Hello! I know this is kind of off topic but I was wondering
    which blog platform are you using for this site?
    I’m getting tired of WordPress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at alternatives for another platform.
    I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a
    good platform.

  3. Its like you read my mind! You appear to know so much about this, like
    you wrote the book in it or something. I
    think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but other than that, this is wonderful blog.
    A fantastic read. I’ll definitely be back. 32hvAj4 cheap flights

  5. First off I would like to say terrific blog! I
    had a quick question which I’d like to ask if you do not mind.
    I was interested to know how you center yourself and clear your mind prior to writing.

    I’ve had a hard time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there.
    I truly do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes
    are wasted simply just trying to figure out how to begin.
    Any recommendations or tips? Cheers!

I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.

  143. Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you
    relied on the video to make your point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to
    your blog when you could be giving us something informative to read?

    and without a doubt, you’ve hit the nail on the head.

    women are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy that I stumbled across
    this during my search for something relating to this.

  146. I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the
    page layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got
    to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only
    having 1 or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out
    better?

  147. Superb blog you have here but I was curious if you knew of any user discussion forums that
    cover the same topics talked about in this article?

    I’d really like to be a part of group where I can get suggestions from
    other experienced individuals that share the same interest.
    If you have any suggestions, please let me know.

    Cheers!

  167. TD BANK has the absolute WORST business banking I have ever encountered in my life. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE.!! They considered Lyft a possible fraudulent transaction and denied them. Lyft kept trying over and over again with “zero” dollar authorizations and the attempts took my daily transactions over the limit resulting in a card transaction block. I called customer service and after waiting on hold for a ridiculous 20 minutes, they told me there was nothing they can do until after midnight. They impose these limits but when they are not justified you are stuck with being stuck. Since I didn’t have a backup credit card on hand, I was stranded at the airport. This is NOT good for any business. I suggest everyone stay away and use another bank! This one sucks for business banking. Personal accounts are ok but business banking stinks like no other!

  328. BARCELONA, March 15 (Reuters) – Lionel Messi celebrated his record-equalling 767th appearance for Barcelona by scoring two goals in a 4-1 La Liga victory over Huesca which helped the Catalans to move within four points of the top of the table on Monday.

    First-half strikes from Messi and Antoine Griezmann looked to have put Barca in the driving seat.
    However, a Rafa Mir penalty against the run of play halved the deficit on the stroke of halftime.

    A first goal for the club by defender Oscar Mingueza restored Barca’s two-goal cushion eight minutes after the restart.

    Mir missed a golden chance to pull one back when he headed over from close range as the visitors sought a way back into the game, before Messi rounded off the win in the final minute of normal time.

    The victory lifted Barca to 59 points in second place, four behind table-toppers Atletico Madrid.

    Huesca, meanwhile, remain bottom of the table on 20 points, four from safety.

    Messi equalled Xavi Hernandez’s all-time appearance record for Barcelona.

  334. A young man who died after shielding his heavily pregnant partner from the flames of a horrific caravan fire is being remembered as a hero. 

    Blake Whell, 22, was inside the caravan with his partner Tomeka Willis in Logan Central, southeast Queensland, when it caught alight and exploded on Monday. 

    The brave father-to-be shielded Ms Willis from the fiery inferno and sustained burns to 95 per cent of his body, his devastated father has revealed. 

    Mr Whell hailed his son a ‘hero’ and said the 22-year-old had thrown his body across his partner’s to protect her and their unborn child from the flames. 

    Blake Whell, 22, (left) was inside the caravan with his partner Tomeka Willis (right) in Logan Central, southeast Queensland, when it caught alight and exploded on Monday

    He died in hospital at about midday on Tuesday after his family made the gut-wrenching decision to turn off his life support.  

    His partner remains in intensive care and will undergo a cesarean section once her body temperature regulates, the reports. 

    It is understood the blaze was ignited by an E-Scooter, with Mr Whell’s father issuing a stark warning to the community following the tragic death of his son. 

    He said there was a ‘good chance’ he could lose his daughter-in-law as well.  

    The 22-year-old (pictured) died hospital at about midday on Tuesday after his family made the gut-wrenching decision to turn off his life support

    ‘Any of you people out there that’ve got E-Scooters, you be careful with these batteries and these chargers,’ the emotional father said.

    ‘I’ve just lost my son … Beware of these scooters, they’re dangerous, Please, I beg ya’s (sic). It’s all I have to say, be careful of these E-Scooters.’

  336. A pet owner has come up with a brilliant yet simple solution for trimming his dog’s nails effectively at home after he turned a reusable shopping bag into a harness.

    Honey the Italian greyhound, who lives in Queensland with her owner Luke and his partner Ashleigh, was filmed getting her nails clipped while dangling from the ‘doggy bag’, which was hanging off a hook in the patio.

    The owner had strategically cut holes in the green eco bag so his puppy’s legs and head can fit through comfortably during her grooming session.

    The  titled ‘How to clip your dog’s nails 101’ shows Honey looking calm while her legs dangled below her, making it easier for Ashleigh to clip her nails without any commotion.

    Honey the Italian greyhound, who lives in Queensland, was filmed getting her nails clipped while dangling from the ‘doggy bag’, which was hanging off a hook in the patio 

    Shortly before coming up with the solution, Luke said they tried to cut her nails the ‘conventional way’ but Honey struggled to sit still.

    ‘She would pull her legs away and try and escape my hold. It was very difficult to cut her nails without holding her down,’ Luke told Daily Mail Australia. 

    ‘We really did not want to make it a big deal otherwise next time we try and cut it she would be even more difficult.’

    And so they decided to create a dog harness using a Woolworths shopping bag.

    ‘We cut a few holes to make sure all of her limbs would fit through comfortably, making sure all of the weight is supported evenly,’ Luke said. 

    ‘As you can see in the video, she wasn’t fussed at all, she was really content just hanging there she did not move or try and pull her legs away. We did not notice any signs of discomfort during the process or we would have immediately taken her out.

    ‘We love our animals and would never do anything that makes them uncomfortable.’

    The video has since been viewed more than 400,000 times, with many pet owners saying they were keen to give this trick a go after struggling to clip their dog’s nails.

    ‘My Italian greyhounds are terrified of nail clippers… I need to try this,’ one wrote, while another said: ‘Oh my god, I just gave up trying to cut my dog’s nails after only getting one before she bolted. Will try this tomorrow.

    ‘This is actually perfect,’ another said, while one added: ‘Brilliant… Just brilliant.’ 

    However, many pet owners pointed out the method only works on small dogs.

    ‘If only I could do that for my dalmatians,’ one said.

    ‘Gold! But I’m going to need a bigger bag,’ another wrote, while one said: ‘My dog would break that bag… and the roof.’

    While one woman joked: ‘Do you think my Labrador would fit in a Woolies bag?’

  337. Fishermen have sent the Russian navy packing after standing up to Vladimir Putin’s plans to hold war games off Ireland’s south-west coast.

    The Kremlin backed down after the Irish trawlermen threatened to disrupt drills due to take place within Ireland’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) this week.

    In a first victory for the West against Moscow’s provocations in Ukraine and beyond, Yury Filatov, Russia’s ambassador to Ireland, finally buckled under the pressure this weekend. 

    The Kremlin backed down after the Irish trawlermen threatened to disrupt drills due to take place within Ireland’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) this week.

    A Russian ship is pictured above in the Black Sea

    Mr Filatov said the Russian fleet would relocate the exercise outside of the EEZ ‘as a gesture of goodwill’.

    He retreated after the fisherman pledged to send up to 60 trawlers between the battleships to disrupt the manoeuvres.

    Mr Filatov had earlier played down the exercises 150 miles off the coast of Cork, claiming they involved just ‘three or four ships’ and that he was unaware if missiles would be fired.

    Mr Filatov said the Russian fleet would relocate the exercise outside of the EEZ ‘as a gesture of goodwill’.

    The fishermen said the area is home to half a billion tons of blue whiting and that seismic shocks from missiles could affect the migration patterns of tuna.

    They also said their industry had taken ‘as much as it can possibly take’.

    Brendan Byrne, of the Irish Fish Processors and Exporters Association, said he ‘welcomed the sensible decision’ by the Kremlin to back down.

    Ireland’s minister for foreign affairs Simon Coveney tweeted: ‘This evening I received a letter confirming the Russian exercises will be relocated outside of Ireland’s EEZ.

    I welcome this response.’

    Verdict: Unforgiven

    Three Thousand Years Of Longing (15, 108 mins)

    Verdict: Aladdin for adults 

    Rating:

    Do you like your humour wickedly dark, bordering on the unpleasant?

    Then The Forgiven could be the film for you.

    Ralph Fiennes and Jessica Chastain star, and mine every line for satire, as a rich couple heading for a swanky party in a castle in Morocco.

    Fiennes is David, a high-functioning, English alcoholic driving Jo, his American wife of 12 years, across the empty desert at night.

    Their relationship already seems bitter and twisted, and they’re arguing when a young man suddenly appears in their headlights and is killed on impact.

    A killer party: Matt Smith (left) and Caleb Landry Jones star as the hosts in The Forgiven

    Ralph Fiennes and Jessica Chastain are their nightmare guests

    Jo is distraught, but David immediately starts taking steps to avoid further blame.

    They arrive at the party, thrown by their dear friends (an outrageous gay couple played by Matt Smith and Caleb Landry Jones), and change into evening dress — leaving the corpse parked in the garage next to someone’s Porsche. The dead teenager, Driss (Omar Ghazaoui), from a Berber community, is forgotten amid the cocktails and cocaine.

    This is just the start of the moral — or rather immoral — dilemma which pervades a picture peopled with shallow, privileged, hammered idiots who waver between ignorance and contempt for the Arab culture around them.

    Jo cheers herself up by flirting with one of the other guests, while David is sent out into the desert to do the honourable thing and meet the parents of the dead youth.

    The Forgiven was created by John Michael McDonagh, the man behind the brilliant Irish films Calvary and The Guard.
    But the Berber element of the plot is clearly way out of his comfort zone.

    Wishful thinking: Idris Elba (left) as a genie with Tilda Swinton in Three Thousand Years of Longing

    McDonagh does come up with some astonishingly weird touches.

    For instance, we discover that, at boarding school, David used to toss mice wearing tiny swastika-emblazoned parachutes off the roof as teachers walked below. The parachutes failed and the mice splatted, gaining an instant swastika shroud. Was he protesting about the school’s fascist leanings?

    Or was he just quite mad? It’s hard to know, but someone is going to get their comeuppance out in the desert, or as the Moroccan butler wryly notes: ‘Piece by piece the camel enters the couscous.’ Apart from the dead teenager’s family, it’s extremely hard to give a damn about anyone, but perhaps that’s the point.

    Less a genie in a bottle, more a genie in a bathrobe: Three Thousand Years Of Longing stars Idris Elba as a creature who gets uncorked in Tilda Swinton’s hotel room.

    This is the opening of a fantasy film for adults, which just gets curiouser and curiouser.

    Swinton brings healthy Northern scepticism to her part as Alithea Binnie, an academic at a narratology (or storytelling) conference in Istanbul, who gets caught up in the ultimate shaggy-dog story herself.

    When Binnie goes souvenir shopping at the bazaar, she returns with a dirty blue-and- white glass bottle, which she attempts to clean with her electric toothbrush.

    Shazam!

    A bit of smoke and mirrors later, and there’s Idris the Djinn, vast and topless in her bedroom. For modesty, his lower torso is covered in blue fish scales.

    Ours is not to reason why, but to go along with three whopping stories the Djinn tells Binnie, as the two sit around in their white hotel bathrobes.

    The Djinn hopes that she will make three wishes and free him on a permanent basis.

    Of course, Binnie is perfectly content with her life as a divorced bluestocking, and appears to have no needs beyond the intellectual …

    The bonkers movie, directed by George Miller (of Mad Max fame), then romps off into glossy flashbacks from the Djinn’s long life.
    These include the moment when the Queen of Sheba callously dumped him for King Solomon, and his later struggles when a slave girl in the sumptuous court of the Ottoman Empire used her magical wishes to get pregnant by a prince.

    There’s plenty of intrigue, garrotting, beheading, and special effects.

    ‘There is no story about wishing that is not a cautionary tale,’ Alithea says tartly at one point, and the problem with this Byzantine package of whimsy is that it throws all possible spectacle on the screen, without truly engaging us in the characters.

    Sex, lies, and angry young men in a wild coming-of-age drama

    By Peter Hoskin

    The Territory 

    Rating:

    Lincoln, or Link to his (few) friends, is an angry kid.

    And he has every right to be. His dad is a violent drunk, his mum is dead, and he lives in a rusty, musty corner of Canada.

    Wildhood (15, 108 mins) starts with him bleaching his hair, like Eminem circa 1997. That’s how angry he is.

    But then Link learns that his Ma isn’t dead after all, so he sets off with his younger brother to find her — or, rather, himself. His journey of discovery involves both his Mi’kmaq tribal roots and the supple body of Pasmay, a brooding boy who accompanies them along the way.

    Wildhood doesn’t avoid all the clichés of the coming-of-age drama.

    There’s a montage of Link, his brother and their buddy running through fields, set to bouncy music, for goodness’ sake. But the three central performances by Phillip Lewitski, Avery Winters-Anthony and Joshua Odjick, are — like the script and photography — so natural and understated that they elevate this one considerably.

    New connections: Phillip Lewitski as Link (right) with Joshua Odjick as Pasmay

    At a glance, The Territory (12A, 85 mins) is a very different film to Wildhood — it’s a documentary, for one, set in the Amazon rainforest.

    But similarities soon emerge. It, too, concerns an indigenous people whose position on this earth has been eroded by time and urbanisation. It, too, features a young kid, the 19-year-old Bitaté, who is finding his way in life. As the film starts, he’s leading his tribe against the encroachments of outsiders.

    Aside from determined Bitaté, the most impressive quality of The Territory is its access-all-areas approach.

    Its heart is certainly with the Uru-eu-wau-wau. But it also spends time with the settlers and farmers who would claim these lands as their own. The result is something more than just another documentary about logging. It’s a war film, deep in the Amazon, complete with fire and murder.

     

    Hats off to this exquisite portrait of 1950s England

    The first couple of days of the 79th Venice Film Festival, which began here on the Venice Lido on Wednesday evening, have yielded some terrific films, though I sat through Living (12A, 102 mins) wondering what on earth a predominantly Italian audience would make of it.

    Adapted from the 1952 Japanese film Ikiru, which was directed by the mighty Akira Kurosawa, it is set in post-war, ration-book England and tells the story of an ageing bureaucrat, Mr Williams (Bill Nighy), a dry-as-dust, bowler-hatted department head at the London County Council offices.

    I’m guessing that synopsis has not got your pulse racing, and indeed the tale gets gloomier, because Mr Williams, a widower, is also dying of cancer: news that he keeps from his buttoned-up son and daughter-in-law, who live with him in Esher.

    Bowled over: Bill Nighy impresses in Living

    He does, however, share it with one of the underlings in his office, Miss Harris (Aimee Lou Wood), with whom he forms a sweet, entirely platonic friendship as he bids, in the months he has left, to add some belated colour to his miserably monochrome life.

    It’s an exquisite film in its understated, melancholy way.

    Nighy — keeping all those fluttery mannerisms of his in check — is simply wonderful. And he gets first-rate support, in particular from the charming Wood.

    I must tip my bowler, too, to director Oliver Hermanus, and screenwriter Kazuo Ishiguro, who depicts a certain brand of period Englishness as forensically as he does in his great novel The Remains Of The Day.

    Living is not in competition here, more’s the pity, but of the films that are, TAR (12A, 158 mins, 4 stars), which had its world premiere last night, is a strong early contender for the festival’s prestigious Golden Lion award.

    Excellent: Don Cheadle and Adam Driver in White Noise

    Written and directed by Todd Field (who’s made surprisingly few films since his acclaimed 2001 debut In The Bedroom), it stars Cate Blanchett, giving a suitably virtuoso performance as Lydia Tar, world-famous chief conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra.

    Lydia is American, a protégée of the late Leonard Bernstein, but is rooted in Berlin, where she lives with her female partner (the orchestra’s first violinist) and their child.

    Brilliant, hugely gifted, imperious and arrogant, she is feted the world over, and lives a gilded existence, until her own indiscretions and lesbian crushes begin to threaten it.

    At more than two-and-a-half hours, TAR, like more than a few symphonies I’ve sat through, is at least 20 minutes too long.

    But Blanchett is superb.

    Adam Driver and Greta Gerwig are excellent, too, in Noah Baumbach’s White Noise (No cert, 136 mins), which created a bit of history on Wednesday as the first Netflix film to open this venerable festival.

    It’s an adaptation, set in 1984, of Don DeLillo’s satirical novel about Jack Gladney (Driver), a professor of Hitler Studies at a Midwestern university, his drug-dependent wife Babette (Gerwig) and their boisterous family, and how they and Jack’s academic colleagues (including Murray Siskind, splendidly played by Don Cheadle) deal with ‘an airborne toxic event’ created when a truck carrying dangerous chemicals crashes into a train.

    There are a few genuinely funny scenes, but DeLillo’s novel was long thought ‘unfilmable’ and Baumbach, marvellous film-maker though he is, doesn’t entirely lay that notion to rest.

    Despite the fine performances, there’s a self-conscious whimsicality throughout that gets a trifle wearing.

    Living opens in UK cinemas on November 4 and TAR on January 20.

    White Noise comes to Netflix in December.

  339. Footage on state TV showed a large cylinder plunging from a crane on a moored vessel, causing a violent explosion of yellow gas in Jordan’s Aqaba port

    A chlorine gas explosion killed 12 people and injured more than 250 on Monday, authorities said, when a tank that fell from a crane released a poisonous yellow cloud at Jordan’s Aqaba port.

    Footage on state-owned Al-Mamlaka TV showed the large cylinder, said to have been carrying about 30 tonnes of gas, plunging from a crane on a moored vessel and violently releasing the chlorine gas cloud.

    The force of the blast sent a truck rolling down the dock, while port workers ran for their lives.

    “At exactly 15:15 this afternoon, a chlorine gas leak occurred in the port of Aqaba as a result of the fall and explosion of a tank containing this substance,” the government’s crisis cell said in a statement.

    The death toll rose to 12 with 260 injured, both Jordanians and foreigners, it said, adding that almost half of the injured were being treated in hospitals.

    The fallen white tank, punctured and stained yellow from where the gas poured out, came to rest on the dock directly beside the Forest 6 vessel

    Nearby areas were evacuated and residents told to stay indoors as emergency responders established a 500-metre (546 yards) cordon around the site of the incident, the crisis cell said.

    The southern beach of Aqaba, a Red Sea resort area, was also evacuated, officials said.

    The deputy chief of the Aqaba Region Ports Authority, Haj Hassan, told Al-Mamlaka that an “iron rope carrying a container containing a toxic substance broke,” leading to the fall and leak.

    The channel also cited the former head of the company that operates the port, Mohammed al-Mubaidin, as saying that a vessel had been waiting to load almost 20 containers of liquified gas “containing a very high percentage of chlorine”.

    He added that the gas is heavy and “it is not easy for its gas clouds to move… as it concentrates in one area and is affected by wind movement”.

    The fallen white tank, punctured and stained yellow from where the gas burst out, came to rest on the dock directly beside the Forest 6 vessel.

    Ship-tracking websites say the deck cargo ship was built only this year and sails under a Hong Kong flag.

    – Hospitals full –

    Local media showed members of civil defence forces, some dressed in hazmat suits, as well as medics rushing to the scene clad in masks.

    An injured man is transported to hospital — foreigners were among those hurt

    The leak was unlikely to reach neighbouring Israel, a spokeswoman for that country’s environmental protection ministry said, noting that a northerly wind was blowing.

    Jordan’s crisis cell said authorities were “working to clear the scene of the accident from the effects of the leak, in preparation for the return of normal life.”

    Trucks were seen lined in a row carrying similar containers at the time the accident occurred.

    Prime Minister Bishr Khasawneh and Interior Minister Mazen al-Faraya headed to the scene, state media reported.

    The injured were transported to two state hospitals, one private facility and a field hospital.

    As night fell dozens of people had gathered outside the emergency department of one Aqaba hospital.

    Aqaba health director Jamal Obeidat said that hospitals were full in the area and “cannot receive more cases”.

    “The injured people are in medium to critical condition,” he added.

    He called on residents of Aqaba to “stay in their homes and shut all windows as a precaution”, stating that the chemical substance is very dangerous, without specifying what it was.

    Civil defence spokesman Amer al-Sartawy said more than 2,700 security and emergency personnel were deployed to the scene, and about 45 of them ended up among the injured.

    More than 2,700 security and emergency personnel responded, civil defence spokesman Amer al-Sartawy said

    The prime minister headed a meeting with the interior and other ministers where he ordered that an investigation be opened to determine the cause, the crisis cell said.

    Israel expressed its condolences and offered aid.

    “As we’ve told our friends in Jordan, the Israeli defence establishment is ready to assist with any effort, by any means necessary,” Defence Minister Benny Gantz said.

    Jordan’s Aqaba port is the country’s only marine terminal and a transit point for a vast portion of its imports and exports.

  340. Elyse Villani has taken over as skipper of the Trent Rockets, and kept alive their hopes in England’s Women’s Hundred.

    The Australian took charge after England’s Nat Sciver stepped down from the captaincy.
    Having masterminded a shrewd fielding performance that restricted Welsh Fire to 8-100 off their 100 balls she led from the front with the bat.

    In front of a 10,000-plus crowd at Trent Bridge Rockets needed to win to have any chance of reaching Friday’s eliminator between the second and third-placed teams.

    They also needed to do so as quickly as possible as net-run-rate (NRR) could be decisive.

    Villani cracked a 38-ball half-century that included a trio of boundaries in the space of four balls bowled to her by compatriot Nicola Carey (0-29 off 15), one of which was a ramp over the wicketkeeper.

    She was dropped on 46, but it was a tough chance to a diving Lauren Filer at deep mid-wicket.

    Villani went on to make an unbeaten 55 off 40 balls as she added 60 off 40 balls with South Africa’s Mignon du Preez, who thrashed a rapid 20-ball 32, in an unbroken third-wicket partnership.

    Rockets’ 2-102 off 82 balls lifted them into third on NRR.

    But they will only stay there if Birmingham Phoenix, who have the same number of points, lose at last-placed London Spirit on Tuesday.

    In theory Northern Superchargers and Manchester Originals could also catch them if they win their remaining group matches, but they are well-behind on NRR and would need big wins respectively against Southern Brave on Wednesday, and Oval Invincibles on Thursday.

    Brave and Invincibles are first and second on the ladder.

    First place goes straight into the final.

    “We still mathematically have a chance so we will sit down tomorrow and she how the results unfold,” said Villani.

    On the captaincy she added: “It is something I enjoy, I do a lot of it back home and I am happy to step in and support any way I can. Nat has enough on her plate being an all-rounder.”

    Fire had started as if they were indeed on fire, English opener Tammy Beaumont hitting the first four balls of the innings for four.

    However, she was caught from her sixth and thereafter boundaries were hard to come by.

    Two Australians Rachel Haynes and Annabel Sutherland perished swiftly, scoring seven off 12 balls between them, both falling to Sciver in the same five-ball set.

    Carey fared better, top-scoring with 27 off 29 balls but like everyone else found compatriot Alanna King (one for ten off 20 balls) hard to get away.

    She was ultimately one of two catches taken by Villani, miscuing a slow full toss from Katherine Brunt.

    “We wanted to play positive and be really brave,” added Villani.

    This story is part of Focal Point iPhone 2022, CNET’s collection of news, tips and advice around Apple’s most popular product.

    When Apple executives show off the iPhone 14 in California next week, as is widely expected, you probably won’t notice many changes to the phone. Rumors suggest the notch where the selfie camera sits may be smaller, and Apple will likely tout camera improvements or newly introduced always-on screen technology. But the feature the company will be betting on most to attract customers will be the one introduced two years ago: 5G wireless.

    Sure, for some people, 5G is yesterday’s news. For others, it’s just a bigger number than 4G that came before. But increasingly, data is piling up that indicates 5G wireless is becoming nearly as important in today’s iPhones as battery life and storage, the two features people watch out most for when buying their phones. The current wireless standard, which has been available for several years now from all of the major US carriers, is also the second-most cited reason people told researchers at the consultancy Deloitte that they’d switched mobile providers, behind “better value for the money.”

    This is a far cry from how 5G was perceived at launch and in the early years, when the service switched on with lots of fanfare but little actual coverage. But the carriers have poured billions of dollars into the infrastructure and airwaves to support it, which has resulted in better service in many places. 

    the iPhone 12 in 2020. “5G has been an accelerant,” he said in July when discussing future prospects for his company’s handset, despite rising inflation and a looming recession. “I think there’s reason to be optimistic.”

    Every year seems to be , and that’ll continue with good reason this year too. The iPhone is the company’s singular most important product by nearly any measure. Apple rang up more than $191.97 billion in iPhone sales last year, which was more than half of its overall revenue. Much of the iPhone’s technology has seeped into the rest of its business as well, with related products like the Apple Watch, AirPods headphones and iPad tablet becoming multibillion dollar businesses unto themselves. 

    It’s also helped to push Apple’s value to more than $2.5 trillion, up from the $60.7 billion Wall Street valued the company at just before the device was . Now, Apple is the most valued company on the planet, followed by oil giant Saudi Aramco, Microsoft, Alphabet (Google), Amazon and electric car maker Tesla.

    The big picture

    The economy’s become a key issue for many people since inflation began its rapid rise last year.

    James Martin/CNET

    This year, though, the iPhone’s success won’t just be a measure of sales that add to Apple’s profits. It’ll also be a bellwether for the larger economy, giving some sense of whether people are willing to spend at a time when our collective confidence in the economy has fallen to its lowest point in decades. Businesses large and small have slowed new hiring or begun to lay off staff, as Snap, the smaller social networking competitor to Facebook, .

    Yet 5G, as yawn-worthy as it is within the tech industry, may be Apple’s key to success navigating the souring economy we all seem to be facing. Wedbush Securities estimates about 240 million of the 1 billion iPhones being used worldwide haven’t been upgraded in the past three-and-a-half years and thus aren’t running on 5G networks.

    Those owners of older iPhones will likely upgrade at some point, particularly as wireless carriers pack on perks like free subscription movie and TV services to entice people to upgrade. “The stickiness of the iPhone upgrade cycle is still being underestimated,” Wedbush analysts wrote in a message to investors earlier this summer. “This continues to remain Apple’s unique advantage over other technology stalwarts.”

    Dream a little 5G dream

    Though 5G wireless networks were available before Apple introduced its first 5G-capable iPhone in 2020, many people saw it as one of the most important launches for the service.

    Apple

    An odd aspect of the 5G upgrade cycle may be that while people are buying in — as in, they don’t want to buy new non-5G phones — 73% of respondents to Deloitte’s surveys said they wanted a “better understanding” of what 5G offers, and 30% said they’re disappointed by “a perceived lack of innovative apps and services that leverage 5G.”

    When carriers began promoting 5G several years ago, they talked of next-generation wireless technology that could usher in a new sci-fi-device-laden future. The promise of 5G showed up everywhere, from self-driving cars to remote medical care to smart cities.

    Read more: Everything We Know So Far About the iPhone 14

    So far, 5G has largely delivered on its promises of higher speed and increased reliability, but that’s about it.

    Carriers, meanwhile, have convinced people 5G is necessary in part by turning off older 3G service, effectively pushing some people to upgrade and indirectly putting 4G users on notice that they, eventually, will be next.

    Now, with economic uncertainty on the horizon, people are having to think more carefully about device purchases they may not upgrade again for several years.

    “If you’re going to buy a smartphone, you’re going to buy the best you can at a certain price point,” Maribel Lopez, longtime industry watcher and head of Lopez Research. “People have to make serious choices when they’re looking at 30% increases in food costs and doubled gasoline prices.”

    “No one, unless you need a value phone, would buy a 4G phone today,” she added.

    Shiny Apple

    Apple notched its highest sales in profits ever after releasing the iPhone 13 last year.

    Lexy Savvides/CNET

    All these trends don’t mean Apple’s iPhone is a guaranteed hit, with or without an unfolding economic catastrophe happening around the world.

    To sweeten the iPhone 14’s introduction, Apple’s teams are working hard to offer software updates with its iOS 16 software update, like a new “widgets” to add info to the lock screen, undo-send in Mail and heightened security. 

    They’re also rumored to be polishing new features like the always-on display, which would allow iPhones to show limited information on the screen even when it’d be typically turned off, and emergency satellite texting, which could come in handy if you’re stranded on a desert highway or in the middle of the ocean.

    Read more: Every iPhone 14 Feature I Want to See at Apple’s Next Event 

    For some people, that all may seem like unnecessary features just to have something new on the box this year. But Creative Strategies analyst Carolina Milanesi said Apple has to be careful to introduce features that matter to early-first adopters and premium purchasers, who are “critical to the brand perception.”

    “You can’t leave that high-end user feeling left out or forgotten,” she said. And for everyone else, she’s expecting carriers to to convince people that the real big changes will be to the value they get out of the phone.

    The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is the fourth version of Samsung’s phone that folds open into a small tablet. It costs $1,800. Yes, that’s a lot of gravy. Most of that price comes from the Z Fold 4’s 7.6-inch foldable display. That same folding screen has a high refresh rate for playing video games, a clever camera hidden behind it for video calls and S Pen support for writing and drawing. Despite not being a huge fan of previous Galaxy Fold phones, I cannot get enough of the Galaxy Z Fold 4.

    Remember the first time you had a crush? Maybe you didn’t even know what a crush was but found yourself enamored with someone else? That’s kind of what happened to me with the Galaxy Z Fold 4. And like a kid with their first crush, it’s hard to describe why I’m so drawn to it, especially since it’s so similar to last year’s Fold 3 (which I liked, but wasn’t crazy about).

    The price is too high

    There are still lots of apps that don’t support the Fold 4’s screen ratio

    Part of my infatuation with the Fold 4 comes from its dozens of small refinements compared to the Fold 3. The hinge is a little thinner. The phone is slightly lighter. The bezels on the cover screen are just a tad smaller. The body is a little wider, making it more enjoyable to use when closed. Everything about the Fold 4 feels more tailored, including the software. Samsung made multitasking on the Fold 4 approachable and easy.

    In fact, after two weeks of using a review unit on loan from Samsung, the Fold 4 is my favorite Android tablet. It showcases Samsung’s engineering and software improvements and is an impressive reminder that we are still at the dawn of foldable phones.

    If you are tempted by the Fold 4, know that there are many to make less of a dent on your wallet.

    The Fold 4 is 3 millimeters wider than last year’s Fold 3, which makes it feel less awkward and cumbersome when it’s closed in phone mode. However, the cover screen’s keyboard is still a little cramped for my hands.

    The numerous minor changes to the Fold’s width and thickness really pay off.

    The Fold 4 is all about Android 12L and Flex Mode
    Samsung packed the new Fold with features that range from significant updates, like the taskbar-turned-dock (which I genuinely enjoy using), to ones that are more, “Oh, that’s kind of fun, but will I use that?” The new cursor and trackpad available in Flex mode falls under that second category.

    The Fold 4 runs on Android 12L, which is optimized for large screens and foldables. Samsung’s lovely tweaks to One UI (its window dressing for Android) really make you feel like you’re using something special without compromising on features and capabilities you’d expect from a phone that doesn’t fold in half.

    The hinge allows it to be positioned in a variety of ways.

    Richard Peterson/CNET

    The dock at the bottom of the screen makes getting in and out of multitasking apps easy. Just drag one app on top of the other, and that’s it. That ease of use is just another reason the Fold 4 is so appealing to me. Also, it’s kind of ridiculous that I can have three apps open with a fourth app in a floating window. Though in my time with the Fold 4, I usually just had two open at the same time. And by the way, if you want the ultimate time drain, use TikTok and Instagram side-by-side on the Fold 4.

    One of my favorite things to do on the Fold 4 is watch videos. (That might partially be because I caught COVID while reviewing the phone and could do little else besides watch shows like The Sandman and The Rehearsal.) A feature I truly dig is that if I’m watching a video and close the Fold, playback picks up instantly on the 6.2-inch cover screen and vice versa. By the way, videos and games on the cover screen look fantastic even with the slim aspect ratio.

    Read more: Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Z Fold 4 Unboxing: Here’s What’s in the Box

    Then there’s Flex Mode, which moves the app you’re using to the top of the screen while displaying the controls at the bottom when the phone is positioned half-open. For example, the YouTube app shows videos on the top half of the screen while the bottom half is for scrolling through comments or the description.

    Samsung even fixed its own Gallery app so now when you edit a photo in Flex Mode, the picture stays on the top half with the edit tools and interface on the bottom. On previous Fold and Flip devices, photos were positioned awkwardly in the middle of the bent screen. 

    When the Fold 4 is opened up as a tablet, its size and aspect ratio make it a joy to use.

    Kevin Heinz/CNET

    A new addition to Flex Mode is the ability to use the bottom of the screen as a mini trackpad with a cursor on the top. I can’t say I found a lot of use with that setup, but I love that Samsung is embracing the Fold’s unique shape. More of this please! The Fold 4 also supports the S Pen, as did the Fold 3. It’s fun to use, though I wish it could magnetically attach to the side of the Fold like the Apple Pencil does on the iPad.

    Some features are on by default, but others are buried in Settings (most under something called Labs, which feels like a beta purgatory for software features). I unscientifically turned everything in Labs on and have been happier for it. But know that not all apps are optimized for the Fold 4. For example, Instagram awkwardly floats in the middle of the screen with arrows on either side to align it on the left or right.

    The cameras on the back are similar to the ones found on the Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus.

    The Z Fold 4 has five cameras
    On the back cover there are three cameras: a main camera with a wide angle lens, another one with an ultrawide lens and a third with a 3x telephoto lens. There’s a selfie camera on the cover screen and an under-display camera behind the main screen.

    The under-display camera is probably the one I used the least, which is likely why Samsung felt good about putting it behind the display. The under-display camera isn’t invisible like a two-way mirror. But it’s less distracting than a hole-punch cut out or notch. I used the under-display camera a couple of times for video chats, and no one on these calls noticed anything out of the ordinary. However, the image looked flat and heavily processed.

    The main and telephoto cameras on the back are similar to the ones on the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Plus. Photos look good and are sharp with punchy colors and contrast. Night mode was also pretty good. These cameras are definitely a step up from the ones on the Fold 3, but they still lag behind the camera systems on the Galaxy S22 Ultra, Pixel 6 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro in terms of image quality and versatility.

    It’s impressive how much detail the Fold 4 was able to capture. Notice the ornamentation on the building.

    The only times I noticed the Fold 4’s camera struggle was under low or mixed lighting, and in direct sunlight, which yields lots of lens flares. If this wasn’t a folding phone, this would be unacceptable for a phone that costs nearly $2,000.

    The best part of the Fold 4’s cameras actually has little to do with the lenses and sensors. Rather, it’s the phone’s design. This phone is its own tripod. You can put it in all sorts of places or position the camera at different angles. One of the coolest features is the ability to use the rear cameras for selfies, or share a preview of the camera’s viewfinder with your subject.

    Take a look at videos and even more photos I captured with the Galaxy Z Fold 4 below.

    The Fold 4’s performance is fast and buttery-smooth
    The Fold 4 has the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chip, the fastest (and newest) processor in any Samsung phone. It’s the same processor we see in gaming phones and the 2022 Razr, the newest foldable phone from Motorola. And speaking of gaming, the Fold 4 is the perfect size for mobile gaming. The main screen makes gaming feel immersive. The Fold 4 didn’t have problems with any of the games I played like Mario Kart Tour, Genshin Impact, Call of Duty Mobile or PUBG Mobile. The Fold 4’s great gaming experience is an unexpected delight that also adds to its appeal.

    The speedy processor and high refresh rate screen weren’t just good for games. Animations look incredibly smooth. In benchmark tests, the Fold 4 scored higher than the Fold 3 and S22 Ultra, another sign that its new processor brings a slight speed boost.

    The Galaxy Z Fold 4’s battery is the same size as the Fold 3’s, which was just OK. I was hopeful that the combination of Android 12L and the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor would mean more battery life. To an extent I did experience longer battery life, but not by much.

    The Fold 4 made it through most days on a single charge. But I found myself topping it off at around 8 p.m. or 9 p.m. I also ran a test where over three-quarters of an hour I watched YouTube videos, scrolled through my TikTok feed, played Mario Kart and FIFA Mobile and took a 5-minute Zoom video call. The battery went from 100% to 82% in those 45 minutes.

    Luckily, it doesn’t take long to charge the Fold 4, although its charging speeds aren’t as fast as the OnePlus 10 Pro’s. After charging the Fold 4 for 30 minutes, the battery went from 20% to 73%. Remember, the Fold 4 doesn’t come with a wall charger.

    Fold 4 vs. Fold 3 vs. Fold 2
    The Galaxy Z Fold 4 adds all of the nuance and refinement that the Fold 3 needed. But if you have a Fold 3, there’s no need to upgrade to the 4.

    If you have a Fold 2, it might be worth upgrading, especially if you can score a sweet trade-in deal. You get a faster processor, a more robust build, waterproofing (though the Fold 4 still lacks dust resistance), S Pen support and superior cameras.

    The Fold 4 clearly isn’t priced for mass appeal but it is identical to what the Fold 3 costs. I do think it’s a fair price for what you get in 2022, which is a premium phone made with parts that are unique, cutting-edge and expensive. But so is a Ferrari SF90 Spider, and that costs over half a million dollars. Despite my crush, I won’t be buying the Fold 4 or a Ferrari anytime soon. And we are still years away from a foldable phone being affordable to most people.

    As for me, I hope my infatuation with the Fold 4 lasts. Only time will tell.

    A pig and a parrot may seem an unlikely pair of friends, but Xena and Jazz are firm bosom buddies.

    Xena the mini-pig and his best pal Jazz, the quaker parrot, live with their owner Nichole Willett in Brisbane, Australia.

    According to Nichole, despite being from completely different species, five-month-old Xena and 16-month-old Jazz are like brother and sister.

    This story is part of Focal Point iPhone 2022, CNET’s collection of news, tips and advice around Apple’s most popular product.

    What’s happening

    Apple is rumored to be adding another 6.7-inch iPhone to its lineup this year. This phone will reportedly be a larger version of the standard iPhone 14.

    Why it matters

    Throwing another 6.7-inch iPhone into the mix could detract from the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s appeal. Especially as consumers are cutting back on spending.

    What’s next

    Apple is holding an event on Sept. 7, where it’s expected to unveil new iPhone models.

    The rumored iPhone 14 Pro Max may have a higher resolution camera, a new processor from Apple and a supersized 6.7-inch screen like the current iPhone 13 Pro Max. Those updates would certainly be appreciated, but they’re also routine for an annual iPhone upgrade. Apple might need more to make its highest-end iPhone stand out in 2022. 

    That’s because the iPhone 14 Pro Max won’t be the only gigantic iPhone in Apple’s lineup anymore, if the latest rumors are to be believed. Apple is expected to release a 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max as well this year, meaning those who love large screens won’t have to splurge on the Pro Max just to get a bigger display. Analysts have also speculated that Apple could increase the prices of the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max compared to last year, potentially making the Pro Max an even tougher sell.  

    Aside from the difference in screen size, there’s typically little that separates Apple’s “Pro” iPhones from its “Pro Max” devices. I’m hoping that changes with the Phone 14 Pro Max, which we’re expecting to learn about during Apple’s upcoming Sept. 7 event. With inflation putting a dent in smartphone shipments, companies like Apple may have to work harder to convince consumers to spend more on high-end devices. 

    iPhone 13 Pro Max. As such, it will probably have a 6.7-inch screen and a triple-lens camera that includes wide, ultrawide and telephoto lenses. In an effort to further distinguish its Pro iPhones from its standard iPhones, Apple will reportedly give the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max an upgraded 48-megapixel camera sensor, a faster A16 Bionic chip and a redesigned camera module on the front that removes the notch. 

    These features are said to be exclusive to the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, meaning they won’t appear on the standard iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max. That’s all according to reports from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman and TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, both of which have strong track records when it comes to reporting on unreleased Apple products.

    Provided Apple maintains its current pricing structure, the iPhone 14 Pro Max will likely start at $1,100 for the 128GB model. The iPhone 14 Pro will likely begin at $1,000.

    Get ready for Apple’s next event

    How to Watch Apple’s September Event

    What Apple Needs to Make the iPhone 14 Pro Max Worth It

    Apple Watch Pro 2022: All the Rumors

    Why the iPhone 14 Pro Max needs to stand out
    If the reports turn out to be true, the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max could include one of the biggest camera improvements we’ve seen on the

    The problem, however, is that the iPhone 14 Pro Max could end up getting lost in the shuffle. Shoppers who just care about having the best camera could get by with the cheaper iPhone 14 Pro, while those who primarily want a large screen may opt for the rumored iPhone 14 Max. Both devices will likely be cheaper than the iPhone 14 Pro Max. 

    The launch would also come at a time when people are seemingly spending less on mobile devices and being more careful about their purchases. Smartphone shipments are expected to decline by 3.5% in 2022, according to estimates from the International Data Corporation published in June. The NPD Group reported in May that more than eight in 10 consumers are planning to reassess their product spending in the next three to six months. A recent NPD survey also indicated consumers plan to seek less-expensive items, look for promotions and cut back on overall purchases in the next few months. 

    These factors could make it more difficult to convince consumers to spend more than $1,000 on a new phone, especially when they may be able to get some of the same benefits (a larger screen or a triple-lens camera) on cheaper models. With the iPhone 14 Pro Max, Apple would likely be counting on the fact that consumers are willing to pay a premium to get both a larger screen and a better camera.

    , I’d love to see Apple implement iPad-like software features that make better use of the Pro Max’s giant screen. For example, it could add a multitasking mode that makes it easier to view more than one app simultaneously. I’d also like to see an always-on display option, similar to the one available on newer Apple Watch models and many competing Android phones. 

    Samsung has done a better job of distinguishing its premium Galaxy S22 Ultra from the regular Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus. Even though the $1,200 Galaxy S22 Ultra is likely too expensive for most people, it offers distinct features you can’t get on Samsung’s less-expensive models. The Ultra has a built-in stylus for notetaking and drawing, a 6.8-inch screen that’s larger than any other phone in Samsung’s S22 lineup, a higher resolution 40-megapixel selfie camera and main camera system with two telephoto lenses and a 10-times optical zoom.

    None of those characteristics are available on Samsung’s other S22 devices, including the $1,000 Galaxy S22 Plus. The iPhone 13 Pro Max, by comparison, has a lot in common with the iPhone 13 Pro, aside from its larger screen and longer battery life. In other words, Apple is relying on the iPhone 13 Pro Max’s 6.7-inch screen to distinguish it from the regular Pro. 

    But if Apple does release a 6.7-inch version of the standard iPhone, just as reports from Nikkei Asian Review, Bloomberg and Ming-Chi Kuo indicate, the iPhone 14 Pro Max might feel less unique in this year’s lineup. The rumored iPhone 14 Max likely won’t have the same extras as Apple’s Pro iPhones, such as a triple-lens camera and a screen with a higher refresh rate for smoother scrolling. But it might be compelling enough to entice shoppers that simply want a larger screen and don’t care as much about having a telephoto lens. 

    Regardless, the iPhone 14 Pro Max will be a top seller if its predecessors are any indication. The iPhone 13 Pro Max landed in the top five smartphone models in regions such as the US, UK, France, Germany and China, according to Counterpoint Research. The iPhone 12 Pro Max was also the second best-selling phone globally in 2021, Counterpoint Research also reported. 

    Still, until a foldable iPhone comes along, the iPhone Pro Max will be Apple’s most expensive and most premium iPhone. That also means it should be the best showcase of Apple’s technology, which is why I’d like to see more exclusive features that you can’t get elsewhere.

  345. Nerve-shredding footage shows tourists in a cage coming face to face with a pair of lions that climbed all over it, with one man feeling them ‘breathing down his neck’.

    Dustin Campbell visited the Marakele Animal Sanctuary in South Africa and took part in its unique ‘Lion Mobile’ trip. Here it’s the visitors that are caged – on the back of an open jeep with hunks of meat used to lure in lions for a sensational meal-time meeting.

    His palm-sweating footage shows a male lion clambering on top of the cage to chomp some of the bait, just centimetres away from his head.

    Nuisance wildlife removal worker Dustin, 42, had a front-row seat to the male’s massive teeth cutting through the fleshy food when a lioness suddenly appeared right behind him.

    Taken aback, Dustin, from West Monroe, Louisiana, USA, joked: ‘I can feel her breathing down my neck, as she also chomped down on some food.’

    He added: ‘There’s something about feeling a lion’s breath on your neck that will make the hair on your arms pop up.

    ‘The sensation was completely foreign to me. It’s comparatively close to a really strong adrenaline rush.

  346. Pitbull goes for the ‘Seacrest defence’

    Pitbull is being sued by Lindsay Lohan for mentioning her in one of his songs

    Pitbull is invoking the little known ‘Seacrest Defence’ in his legal battle with Lindsay Lohan – claiming in new docs that if Ryan Seacrest didn’t sue him for mentioning him in a song…

    LiLo shouldn’t either! Lindsay is suing Pitbull (along with Ne- Yo and Afrojack) for namedropping her in the song ‘Give Me Everything.’

    She claims the lyric – ‘I got it locked up like Lindsay Lohan’ – caused her ‘irreparable harm.’

    In legal docs filed this week in New York, Pitbull responded to the suit and pointed out that he rapped about Seacrest in the same song – and noted Ryan not only didn’t sue, but Pitbull performed the song as part of a New Year’s Eve show…

    hosted by Seacrest!

    Translation – Seacrest has a sense of humour, Lindsay does not. Pitbull also cited the lesser known First Amendement in his bid to get the case dismissed. A judge has yet to rule. – tmz.com

    First test tube kitten
    Several endangered blackfooted cats have been born recently in the US and researchers say Crystal’s birth is the rarest – the first ever born from an embryo fertilised in a lab dish, frozen, and later implanted in a housecat’s womb.

    The black-footed cat is Africa’s smallest wildcat and one of the world’s smallest felines.

    Earle Pope, from the Audubon Center for Research of Endangered Species, said: ‘Crystal is proof that embryos of this dwindling species can be successfully implanted into domestic cats.’ – boston.com

    Alcohol effects on children
    The Alcohol Concern survey of children found that twice as many children recognised Carlsberg as an alcoholic brand than any brand of cakes or foods.

    The campaigning group said it showed the power of marketing, prompting it to renew its call for tougher rules.

    Mark Leyshon, from Alcohol Concern, said: ‘Research shows that children who are exposed to alcohol advertising and promotion are more likely to start to use alcohol, have positive expectations about alcohol, and to drink more if they are already using alcohol.’ – bbc.co.uk

    A federal program that has delivered millions of free at-home COVID-19 tests to American households through the US Postal Service has now ended, due to a lack of supply.

    USA Today first reported on Aug. 26 about the limited supply of tests. Soon after, USPS updated its page for at-home COVID tests to say the free at-home COVID-19 tests program would be suspended on Sept. 2, 2022. On Friday, the site updated again to announce it is no longer accepting orders for tests.

    US Postal Service/Screenshot by Peter Butler/CNET

    The original website that the government launched in January — CovidTests.gov — now has a banner that reads, “Ordering through the free at-home test program was suspended on Friday, September 2 because Congress hasn’t provided additional funding to replenish the nation’s stockpile of tests.”

    Even though the Postal Service has suspended delivery of COVID tests, there are other ways to get tests for free. Learn your options for finding free COVID-19 tests, as well as what happens next with the federal program to deliver free tests.

    For more on COVID-19 testing, learn why the expiration date on your COVID test box might be wrong and whether at-home tests work with the BA.5 subvariant of COVID.

    How did the free COVID-19 test program from USPS work?

    In January, President Joe Biden announced the launch of CovidTests.gov, a website that let households order four free rapid antigen COVID-19 tests shipped by USPS. The site added four more free tests in March, and then another eight more in May. 

    Unlike some complicated government applications, ordering free tests from the Postal Service was simple. It took less than two minutes to complete a short form asking for your name and mailing address, and the tests shipped in about a week or two. Americans without internet access or those who had trouble ordering online could request tests using a toll-free phone number.

    A phone recording at that COVID-19 hotline reiterates that COVID test orders have been suspended, but it also mentions that people who are blind or have low vision can order specially designed COVID tests that are more accessible. However, a representative on the hotline said that those tests are no longer available for order either. That confirms a report from CBS News that the accessible tests are also “temporarily out of stock.”

    Why has USPS stopped taking orders for free COVID tests?
    According to the White House, without new funding for Congress to pay for at-home COVID tests, the government needs to conserve the supply that it has remaining in case of a major COVID-19 outbreak this fall. The Biden administration has been urging Congress to approve more money to fight COVID for most of 2022, but efforts have stalled. 

    A $1.5 trillion omnibus spending bill in the spring was passed only after removing all funding for COVID-19. In a March 9 letter to colleagues, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi blamed the lack of COVID-19 funding on Republicans’ insistence that all money be offset by cuts elsewhere, to which several Democrats objected.

    The Biden administration has suggested that as many as 100 million Americans could be infected with COVID-19 this fall and winter.

    Will the Postal Service program for free COVID tests return?
    It’s all about the funding. In an interview with NBC News, an unnamed senior Biden official said, “If Congress provides funding, we will expeditiously resume distribution of free tests through CovidTests.gov.”

    On Sept. 2, Office of Management and Budget director Shalanda Young announced that the White House is now asking Congress for $22.4 million in COVID funding to “meet immediate short-term domestic needs, including testing; accelerate the research and development of next-generation vaccines and therapeutics; prepare for future variants; and support the global response to COVID-19.”

    Where can I get free at-home COVID-19 tests now?
    Even though free COVID-19 tests from the Post Office are suspended, you still have a few options for finding similar at-home COVID tests for free. First, if you’re lucky enough to have private health insurance, you can get eight free COVID tests per person per month. 

    In January, the Biden administration announced the requirement for health insurance companies to cover at-home tests. Participants can either receive their eight free tests a month from provider-based pharmacies or be reimbursed by their provider for up to $12 for each test they purchase.

    At-home COVID-19 tests are also eligible expenses for flexible spending accounts (FSA) and health savings accounts (HSA).

    Medicare was not initially included in the plan to distribute free COVID-19 tests, but on April 4, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced that participants with Plan B or those in a Medicare Advantage plan were also eligible to receive eight free tests a month. 

    It’s still possible to get free COVID-19 test kits through health insurance, Medicare or local health clinics.

    Sarah Tew/CNET

    If you’re not insured or covered by Medicare, you still can get free COVID-19 tests. As part of the Biden administration’s National COVID-19 Preparedness Plan, the Department of Health and Human Services has provided millions of free COVID tests to community health centers and Medicare-certified rural health clinics.

    You can search for a local health center or clinic with free COVID tests near you using a tool on the HHS website.

  348. Today’s flapjacks have been determined to be sweets and not cakes in a tax tribunal on account of them not being eaten for afternoon tea, in a decision that is expected to cost manufacturers millions.

    Ensuring their baked goods are classified as cakes is hugely significant for manufacturers, on account of cakes being VAT free in the UK.

    This is due to a tax law that considers cakes to be a form of modified bread and therefore a food staple – rather than being classified as a luxury item.

    But a decision made today overruled the cake status of all 36 flapjacks in Glanbia Milk’s range, with the judge saying they are so full of extra ingredients – and are so covered in toppings – that they can no longer be described as traditional flapjacks.

    The ruling said they would not be something anyone would eat at ‘celebratory functions’, according to .

    The decision is expected to cost the Birmingham-based manufacturer millions of pounds in VAT payments, and could have a knock-on effect for other manufacturers as well, as it is possible HMRC could re-categorise all flapjacks.

    Today’s flapjacks have been determined to be sweets and not cakes in a tax tribunal on account of them not being eaten for afternoon tea, in a decision that is expected to cost manufacturers millions

    The Times reported that in order to determine whether the baked goods were cakes or not, the judges undertook a taste test.

    They said that the flapjacks were individually wrapped and often marketed as having protein in them, and providing energy. The judges said they were dense, and had a similar consistency to fruit or energy bars.

    ‘The ordinary person would not consider this to be the typical texture of a cake,’ the judges Christopher Staker and Caroline Small said, the newspaper reported. 

    In their final verdict, the judges said they had considered whether the flapjacks would be eaten at ‘celebratory functions’ – such as a work event or a colleagues birthday party – deciding they would not be.

    ‘Most people regard an archetypal cake to be more pleasant to eat than other everyday food, due to its sweetness and texture. It is for this reason that cakes are typically eaten at celebratory functions,’ they said.

    A cake ‘is something normally eaten sitting down, for instance as the dessert course of a meal or at an afternoon tea,’ they continued.

    Flapjacks, they argued, would be out of place at such events.

    It is not currently clear how much tax Glanbia Milk owes, but is expected to be a significant sum as it covers the company’s flapjack sales from 2016 to 2018.

    While HMRC does not comment on specific cases, in a to the Reading Chronicle, the government’s tax body said: ‘The VAT rules require a business to charge VAT at the standard rate of 20 per cent on the sale of an item of confectionery, unless it is a cake or a biscuit not covered in chocolate.

    ‘For these purposes, confectionery includes any item of sweetened prepared food which is normally eaten with the fingers.

    ‘A product is a cake or a biscuit if it has sufficient characteristics to be so categorised. HMRC accepts that a traditional flapjack can be treated as a cake and zero rated. However, a product that contains different ingredients and, for example, has been developed as a sports nutrition product falls to be confectionery and is standard rated.’

    Glanbia Milk declined to say whether it would appeal the decision when contacted by The Times, the newspaper reported. 

    The ruling goes against another in 1999, in which judges decided in favour of McVitie’s – ruling that the company’s Jaffa Cakes were in fact cakes, rather than biscuits, on account of them going hard when stale – as opposed to soft.

    In Ireland, Jaffa Cakes meet the country’s Revenue Commissioners moisture content threshold of 12 percent, meaning they are also classified as cakes and are charged the country’s reduced rate of VAT of 13.5 percent.

    And on Wednesday in the journal Science Advances, the team behind this contraption confirmed MOXIE has been working so well that its oxygen output is comparable with the rate of a modest Earth tree’s output. 

    By the end of 2021, extensive data showed that MOXIE successfully reached its oxygen target output of six grams per hour during seven separate experimental runs, as well as in a variety of atmospheric conditions. That includes day and night, different Martian seasons and other such things.

    “The only thing we have not demonstrated is running at dawn or dusk, when the temperature is changing substantially,” Michael Hecht, principal investigator of the MOXIE mission at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Haystack Observatory, said in a press release. “We do have an ace up our sleeve that will let us do that, and once we test that in the lab, we can reach that last milestone to show we can really run any time.”

    Here’s where MOXIE is located on the Martian rover.

    NASA

    For scientists and space agencies alike, it’s especially exciting that MOXIE’s promise holds strong, because proposed timelines for astronaut-laden Mars expeditions have looming deadlines for learning how to keep future red planet space explorers safe. 

    SpaceX CEO Elon Musk’s goal of landing humans on Mars appears to be 2029, for instance, and NASA’s own upcoming Artemis I moon mission is meant to pave the way for Martian excursions planned for the 2030s or 2040s. “To support a human mission to Mars, we have to bring a lot of stuff from Earth, like computers, spacesuits, and habitats,” Jeffrey Hoffman, MOXIE deputy principal investigator and a professor at MIT, said in a press release. “But dumb old oxygen? If you can make it there, go for it — you’re way ahead of the game.”

    As it stands, MOXIE is super small (it’s basically the size of a toaster), but this is potentially a good thing. It means that if scientists can somehow scale up the patterned cube’s size, MOXIE could make far more than just six grams of oxygen per hour. 

    “We have learned a tremendous amount that will inform future systems at a larger scale,” Hecht said. 

    Maybe one day, the researchers say, it could eventually produce oxygen at the rate of several hundred trees, thus sustaining astronauts once they arrive on Mars and fueling rockets that require the life-giving element to bring crew back to Earth. 

    “Astronauts who spend a year on the surface will maybe use one metric ton between them,” Hecht said in a NASA press release last year. But, per the space agency, getting four astronauts off the Martian surface on a future mission would require approximately 15,000 pounds (7 metric tons) of rocket fuel and 55,000 pounds (25 metric tons) of oxygen. Bringing all that oxygen from Earth would be supercostly and inefficient.

    So, as Hoffman says, why not just make all the oxygen on the arid planet itself?

    How does MOXIE work?
    On Mars, MOXIE is actively converting carbon dioxide in the Martian atmosphere — where the element makes up a whopping 96% — into breathable oxygen. 

    A little chemistry 101 is that carbon dioxide molecules are made up of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. Those bits are basically stuck together. But an instrument within MOXIE, called the Solid Oxide Electrolyzer, can sort of harvest the oxygen bits within those CO2 molecules that scientists are interested in. Once complete, all the free-floating oxygen particles are recombined into O2, aka molecules with two oxygen atoms, otherwise known as the kind of oxygen we know and love. 

    I know it’s different, but I keep thinking about Pixar’s WALL-E doing this. So, as WALL-E would say: Ta-da!

    Technicians at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory lower the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) instrument into the belly of the Perseverance rover.

    NASA/JPL-Caltech

    “This is the first demonstration of actually using resources on the surface of another planetary body, and transforming them chemically into something that would be useful for a human mission,” Hoffman said. “It’s historic in that sense.”

    Along the way, this process requires the use of superhigh heat — reaching temperatures of approximately 1,470 degrees Fahrenheit (800 Celsius) — which is fascinatingly what gives MOXIE its characteristic gold coating. 

    Like with NASA’s trailblazing James Webb Space Telescope, MOXIE has to be shielded from infrared heat because it operates with heat itself. A gold coating does just that, and in fact the JWST’s mirrors are coated with gold for the exact reason, too.

    One wing of the James Webb Space Telescope’s main mirror opens into place during a final test of the mirror deployment system in May 2021. Check out that gold-plated beauty.

    NASA

    Up next, the MOXIE team intends to demonstrate that MOXIE works well under even more intensive conditions, like a next run coming up that’ll occur during the “highest density of the year,” Hecht said. “We’ll set everything as high as we dare, and let it run as long as we can.”

    A federal program that has delivered millions of free at-home COVID-19 tests to American households through the US Postal Service has now ended, due to a lack of supply.

    USA Today first reported on Aug. 26 about the limited supply of tests. Soon after, USPS updated its page for at-home COVID tests to say the free at-home COVID-19 tests program would be suspended on Sept. 2, 2022. On Friday, the site updated again to announce it is no longer accepting orders for tests.

    US Postal Service/Screenshot by Peter Butler/CNET

    The original website that the government launched in January — CovidTests.gov — now has a banner that reads, “Ordering through the free at-home test program was suspended on Friday, September 2 because Congress hasn’t provided additional funding to replenish the nation’s stockpile of tests.”

    Even though the Postal Service has suspended delivery of COVID tests, there are other ways to get tests for free. Learn your options for finding free COVID-19 tests, as well as what happens next with the federal program to deliver free tests.

    For more on COVID-19 testing, learn why the expiration date on your COVID test box might be wrong and whether at-home tests work with the BA.5 subvariant of COVID.

    How did the free COVID-19 test program from USPS work?

    In January, President Joe Biden announced the launch of CovidTests.gov, a website that let households order four free rapid antigen COVID-19 tests shipped by USPS. The site added four more free tests in March, and then another eight more in May. 

    Unlike some complicated government applications, ordering free tests from the Postal Service was simple. It took less than two minutes to complete a short form asking for your name and mailing address, and the tests shipped in about a week or two. Americans without internet access or those who had trouble ordering online could request tests using a toll-free phone number.

    A phone recording at that COVID-19 hotline reiterates that COVID test orders have been suspended, but it also mentions that people who are blind or have low vision can order specially designed COVID tests that are more accessible. However, a representative on the hotline said that those tests are no longer available for order either. That confirms a report from CBS News that the accessible tests are also “temporarily out of stock.”

    Why has USPS stopped taking orders for free COVID tests?
    According to the White House, without new funding for Congress to pay for at-home COVID tests, the government needs to conserve the supply that it has remaining in case of a major COVID-19 outbreak this fall. The Biden administration has been urging Congress to approve more money to fight COVID for most of 2022, but efforts have stalled. 

    A $1.5 trillion omnibus spending bill in the spring was passed only after removing all funding for COVID-19. In a March 9 letter to colleagues, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi blamed the lack of COVID-19 funding on Republicans’ insistence that all money be offset by cuts elsewhere, to which several Democrats objected.

    The Biden administration has suggested that as many as 100 million Americans could be infected with COVID-19 this fall and winter.

    Will the Postal Service program for free COVID tests return?
    It’s all about the funding. In an interview with NBC News, an unnamed senior Biden official said, “If Congress provides funding, we will expeditiously resume distribution of free tests through CovidTests.gov.”

    On Sept. 2, Office of Management and Budget director Shalanda Young announced that the White House is now asking Congress for $22.4 million in COVID funding to “meet immediate short-term domestic needs, including testing; accelerate the research and development of next-generation vaccines and therapeutics; prepare for future variants; and support the global response to COVID-19.”

    Where can I get free at-home COVID-19 tests now?
    Even though free COVID-19 tests from the Post Office are suspended, you still have a few options for finding similar at-home COVID tests for free. First, if you’re lucky enough to have private health insurance, you can get eight free COVID tests per person per month. 

    In January, the Biden administration announced the requirement for health insurance companies to cover at-home tests. Participants can either receive their eight free tests a month from provider-based pharmacies or be reimbursed by their provider for up to $12 for each test they purchase.

    At-home COVID-19 tests are also eligible expenses for flexible spending accounts (FSA) and health savings accounts (HSA).

    Medicare was not initially included in the plan to distribute free COVID-19 tests, but on April 4, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced that participants with Plan B or those in a Medicare Advantage plan were also eligible to receive eight free tests a month. 

    It’s still possible to get free COVID-19 test kits through health insurance, Medicare or local health clinics.

    If you’re not insured or covered by Medicare, you still can get free COVID-19 tests. As part of the Biden administration’s National COVID-19 Preparedness Plan, the Department of Health and Human Services has provided millions of free COVID tests to community health centers and Medicare-certified rural health clinics.

    You can search for a local health center or clinic with free COVID tests near you using a tool on the HHS website.

    Among the devices revealed at its Unpacked event last week, Samsung showed off its new flagship Galaxy Z Fold 4 foldable phone, which packs improvements like better multitasking software, a slimmer design and a more durable body. One thing Samsung didn’t change is the sky-high $1,800 price tag — which few consumers can likely afford. But that exclusivity is exactly why the Fold 4 exists. 

    It may seem perplexing to keep the Z Fold 4 at about twice the price of other premium phones when Samsung wants foldables to become more mainstream, as CEO TM Roh said during Unpacked. I argued that price cuts would be the best way Samsung could combat Apple this holiday season. Since Samsung is holding steady with the Z Fold 4’s price, it’s clear the company is content to keep it a niche device that’s out of reach for all but the most deep-pocketed consumers.

    The Z Fold 4 sits atop a strata in which it has no real rivals. It’s essentially a Ferrari amid Mercedes and BMWs. Creating that level of exclusivity is entirely the point, giving Samsung an exciting and aspirational product that generates buzz and interest in the entire lineup. Chipping a few hundreds dollars off its price won’t make a difference, said IDC Research Director Nabila Popal.

    Keeping the Z Fold 4 at $1,800 is “the right move, in my opinion, even if it won’t be affordable to the masses,” Popal said.

    This dynamic, which runs counter to the idea that a lower priced foldable may spur interest in the category, is one of the predicaments this whole area faces. Foldables occupy an exciting niche of the phone business, which has seen an endless parade of drab metal and glass slabs come through for more than a decade. But the high price tag keeps them from really breaking out.

    The only answer is to slowly build up the market and interest through a combination of exciting, but less attainable, options like the Z Fold 4, and the comparatively affordable $1,000 Z Flip 4.

    Samsung is hoping the Z Fold 4’s dynamic design — which is still impressive in person — gives the company a pop ahead of Apple’s own event next month and generates excitement about foldables in general. 

    Samsung is relying on the Z Flip series to sell the vibe of foldables, transitional phones that alter their shape. And Samsung has work to do, because they’re still scarce in the wild, with research firm IDC estimating that a bit over 7 million foldables shipped in 2021 compared with 1.3 billion smartphones sold last year.

    From a market perspective, the small volume the Z Fold 4 could get may help Samsung gain back some of the global share of high-end phones, as Apple sells seven of every 10 $800-and-up premium phones globally. 

    foldable phones more mainstream, the company may have little choice but to keep its prices static. Unlike truly mainstream products, like Samsung’s Galaxy S series, which have flat displays and components used in many other smartphones, the small volume of foldables sold every year have specialty parts.

    “That means the very specialized components required … are still only produced in small quantities and therefore are likely still very expensive,” Technalysis Research analyst Bob O’Donnell said.

    That leads to a chicken-and-egg problem that impacts every specialty device: Parts can’t get cheaper until they’re made at scale, and there’s no point in making them at scale while consumers buy too few of the pricey devices using those parts. That’s the reason so few phone-makers are making foldables, including Apple, O’Donnell said.

    “We can’t really ignore the fact that the supply chain is not really ready for an Apple-level product, and that’s part of the reason Apple hasn’t [made a foldable] either,” O’Donnell said.

    Samsung is splitting the difference with the Z Flip 4, a clamshell foldable that has half the footprint of a “flat” smartphone when it’s closed, yet unfolds to show an inner screen as large as any regular phone’s display. Samsung sees the Z Flip 4 as an “entry device” that turns bold buyers into foldable lifers, an on-ramp for consumers to eventually upgrade to the bigger, pricier Z Fold line. 

    Samsung says the Z Flip is the better-selling series, accounting for 70% of the company’s foldables shipped, but both devices serve different demographics. The Z Flip is stylish but ultimately just a shrinkable version of a typical ‘flat’ smartphone, not a junior edition of the productivity-enhancing Z Fold devices that unfold into tablet-size screens.

    More foldables are being sold every year, and IDC predicts shipments will grow to 25 million foldables in 2025. Whether that’s enough volume to enable cheaper foldables is tough to forecast. Samsung has at least gotten creative with offering foldables with more value.

    Cheaper foldables through trade-ins and carrier deals
    The industry is working to make foldables a thing. You can get a Galaxy Z Fold 4 for less than $1,800 through Samsung’s generous trade-in values and various carrier deals. Samsung retains its elite price tag, carriers get more customers signed on to their services, and customers  get their hands on the next evolution in phones.

    Samsung’s trade-in deals knock $1,000 off the list price of a Z Fold 4 if you send in your older Z Fold 3, Z Fold 2 or this year’s Galaxy S22 Ultra. But trade-in values are still pretty generous for the original Z Fold or other flagship Samsung phones from the last few years. Apple’s priciest phones also get decent trade-in value, but you’ll get barely anything for phones from Google, Motorola, LG or OnePlus.

    Carriers can also save you money on the Z Fold 4, with Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile offering varying trade-in deals to lower the price by up to $1,000. Verizon also offers $800 off a second Z Fold 4 after buying a first, should your household need two foldables.

    See at Samsung

    or the holiday season, when Samsung may introduce new deals to discount its foldables. 

    Just don’t hold your breath for Samsung to discount its most premium mobile device. Unlike the Z Flip 3, which got a $150 price cut once its successor was revealed this week, the Z Fold 3 has the same $1,800 price on Samsung’s website that it had when it launched a year ago. With high parts prices, years of R&D to recoup, and a lack of competition, there’s not much pressure for Samsung to lower its prices.

    Samsung is “leading in this space at the moment and can afford to charge a premium before other Android players ramp up in this space, and perhaps even Apple in a couple of years,” Popal said.

    Aug 8 (Reuters) – Home appliance maker Whirlpool Corp said on Monday it would buy Emerson Electric Co’s InSinkErator unit, which makes waste disposal equipment and hot water dispensers, for $3 billion to beef up its kitchen equipment offerings.

    InSinkErator, which has an over 70% market share in the food waste disposal industry, is a popular household name in the United States.

    Following the acquisition, InSinkErator will add to Whirlpool’s home portfolio of washing machines, refrigerators and dishwashing equipment.

    InSinkErator makes food waste disposers that are integrated into kitchen sinks to help breakdown garbage, which then flows directly to wastewater treatment plants or a septic system.

    Whirlpool, which plans to fund the deal through cash and debt, said during an investor call that it expects InSinkErator to benefit from a strong replacement cycle and strength in the long-term U.S.

    housing industry.

    Berenberg analyst Philip Buller said Whirlpool can also use InSinkErator to expand its presence outside North America, where waste disposal system penetration rates are much lower.

    InSinkErator posted a trailing twelve-month revenue of $595 million as of March end.
    It was founded in 1938 and was bought by Emerson in 1968.

    The deal, expected to close in the fourth quarter, will also help Emerson Electric slim down its structure, following footsteps of other conglomerates, as it works to reposition itself as a technology-focused firm.

    “Once upon a time big was great, because you’re going into all these emerging markets, which were high growth, you needed a big resource to do it. That’s not the story today,” said William Blair analyst Nicholas Heymann.

    The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is the fourth version of Samsung’s phone that folds open into a small tablet. It costs $1,800. Yes, that’s a lot of gravy. Most of that price comes from the Z Fold 4’s 7.6-inch foldable display. That same folding screen has a high refresh rate for playing video games, a clever camera hidden behind it for video calls and S Pen support for writing and drawing. Despite not being a huge fan of previous Galaxy Fold phones, I cannot get enough of the Galaxy Z Fold 4.

    Remember the first time you had a crush? Maybe you didn’t even know what a crush was but found yourself enamored with someone else? That’s kind of what happened to me with the Galaxy Z Fold 4. And like a kid with their first crush, it’s hard to describe why I’m so drawn to it, especially since it’s so similar to last year’s Fold 3 (which I liked, but wasn’t crazy about).

    Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4

    The price is too high

    It’s still a bit chunky

    Lack of S Pen storage or a magnetic side to attach it

    There are still lots of apps that don’t support the Fold 4’s screen ratio

    Part of my infatuation with the Fold 4 comes from its dozens of small refinements compared to the Fold 3. The hinge is a little thinner. The phone is slightly lighter. The bezels on the cover screen are just a tad smaller. The body is a little wider, making it more enjoyable to use when closed. Everything about the Fold 4 feels more tailored, including the software. Samsung made multitasking on the Fold 4 approachable and easy.

    In fact, after two weeks of using a review unit on loan from Samsung, the Fold 4 is my favorite Android tablet. It showcases Samsung’s engineering and software improvements and is an impressive reminder that we are still at the dawn of foldable phones.

    But then there’s that $1,800 price tag. I could buy a Galaxy S22 Ultra and an iPad Mini for the same price. Yet, that’s not a fair comparison because neither of those devices can fold open or closed. And remember, $1,800 is the starting price. A 1TB Fold 4 will set you back over $2,000.

    If you are tempted by the Fold 4, know that there are many to make less of a dent on your wallet.

    The Fold 4 is 3 millimeters wider than last year’s Fold 3, which makes it feel less awkward and cumbersome when it’s closed in phone mode. However, the cover screen’s keyboard is still a little cramped for my hands.

    The numerous minor changes to the Fold’s width and thickness really pay off.

    The Fold 4 is all about Android 12L and Flex Mode
    Samsung packed the new Fold with features that range from significant updates, like the taskbar-turned-dock (which I genuinely enjoy using), to ones that are more, “Oh, that’s kind of fun, but will I use that?” The new cursor and trackpad available in Flex mode falls under that second category.

    The Fold 4 runs on Android 12L, which is optimized for large screens and foldables. Samsung’s lovely tweaks to One UI (its window dressing for Android) really make you feel like you’re using something special without compromising on features and capabilities you’d expect from a phone that doesn’t fold in half.

    The hinge allows it to be positioned in a variety of ways.

    Richard Peterson/CNET

    The dock at the bottom of the screen makes getting in and out of multitasking apps easy. Just drag one app on top of the other, and that’s it. That ease of use is just another reason the Fold 4 is so appealing to me. Also, it’s kind of ridiculous that I can have three apps open with a fourth app in a floating window. Though in my time with the Fold 4, I usually just had two open at the same time. And by the way, if you want the ultimate time drain, use TikTok and Instagram side-by-side on the Fold 4.

    One of my favorite things to do on the Fold 4 is watch videos. (That might partially be because I caught COVID while reviewing the phone and could do little else besides watch shows like The Sandman and The Rehearsal.) A feature I truly dig is that if I’m watching a video and close the Fold, playback picks up instantly on the 6.2-inch cover screen and vice versa. By the way, videos and games on the cover screen look fantastic even with the slim aspect ratio.

    Then there’s Flex Mode, which moves the app you’re using to the top of the screen while displaying the controls at the bottom when the phone is positioned half-open. For example, the YouTube app shows videos on the top half of the screen while the bottom half is for scrolling through comments or the description.

    Samsung even fixed its own Gallery app so now when you edit a photo in Flex Mode, the picture stays on the top half with the edit tools and interface on the bottom. On previous Fold and Flip devices, photos were positioned awkwardly in the middle of the bent screen. 

    When the Fold 4 is opened up as a tablet, its size and aspect ratio make it a joy to use.

    Kevin Heinz/CNET

    A new addition to Flex Mode is the ability to use the bottom of the screen as a mini trackpad with a cursor on the top. I can’t say I found a lot of use with that setup, but I love that Samsung is embracing the Fold’s unique shape. More of this please! The Fold 4 also supports the S Pen, as did the Fold 3. It’s fun to use, though I wish it could magnetically attach to the side of the Fold like the Apple Pencil does on the iPad.

    Some features are on by default, but others are buried in Settings (most under something called Labs, which feels like a beta purgatory for software features). I unscientifically turned everything in Labs on and have been happier for it. But know that not all apps are optimized for the Fold 4. For example, Instagram awkwardly floats in the middle of the screen with arrows on either side to align it on the left or right.

    The cameras on the back are similar to the ones found on the Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus.

    James Martin/CNET

    The Z Fold 4 has five cameras
    On the back cover there are three cameras: a main camera with a wide angle lens, another one with an ultrawide lens and a third with a 3x telephoto lens. There’s a selfie camera on the cover screen and an under-display camera behind the main screen.

    The under-display camera is probably the one I used the least, which is likely why Samsung felt good about putting it behind the display. The under-display camera isn’t invisible like a two-way mirror. But it’s less distracting than a hole-punch cut out or notch. I used the under-display camera a couple of times for video chats, and no one on these calls noticed anything out of the ordinary. However, the image looked flat and heavily processed.

    The main and telephoto cameras on the back are similar to the ones on the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Plus. Photos look good and are sharp with punchy colors and contrast. Night mode was also pretty good. These cameras are definitely a step up from the ones on the Fold 3, but they still lag behind the camera systems on the Galaxy S22 Ultra, Pixel 6 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro in terms of image quality and versatility.

    The only times I noticed the Fold 4’s camera struggle was under low or mixed lighting, and in direct sunlight, which yields lots of lens flares. If this wasn’t a folding phone, this would be unacceptable for a phone that costs nearly $2,000.

    The best part of the Fold 4’s cameras actually has little to do with the lenses and sensors. Rather, it’s the phone’s design. This phone is its own tripod. You can put it in all sorts of places or position the camera at different angles. One of the coolest features is the ability to use the rear cameras for selfies, or share a preview of the camera’s viewfinder with your subject.

    Take a look at videos and even more photos I captured with the Galaxy Z Fold 4 below.

    The Fold 4’s performance is fast and buttery-smooth
    The Fold 4 has the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chip, the fastest (and newest) processor in any Samsung phone. It’s the same processor we see in gaming phones and the 2022 Razr, the newest foldable phone from Motorola. And speaking of gaming, the Fold 4 is the perfect size for mobile gaming. The main screen makes gaming feel immersive. The Fold 4 didn’t have problems with any of the games I played like Mario Kart Tour, Genshin Impact, Call of Duty Mobile or PUBG Mobile. The Fold 4’s great gaming experience is an unexpected delight that also adds to its appeal.

    The speedy processor and high refresh rate screen weren’t just good for games. Animations look incredibly smooth. In benchmark tests, the Fold 4 scored higher than the Fold 3 and S22 Ultra, another sign that its new processor brings a slight speed boost.

    The Galaxy Z Fold 4’s battery is the same size as the Fold 3’s, which was just OK. I was hopeful that the combination of Android 12L and the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor would mean more battery life. To an extent I did experience longer battery life, but not by much.

    The Fold 4 made it through most days on a single charge. But I found myself topping it off at around 8 p.m. or 9 p.m. I also ran a test where over three-quarters of an hour I watched YouTube videos, scrolled through my TikTok feed, played Mario Kart and FIFA Mobile and took a 5-minute Zoom video call. The battery went from 100% to 82% in those 45 minutes.

    Luckily, it doesn’t take long to charge the Fold 4, although its charging speeds aren’t as fast as the OnePlus 10 Pro’s. After charging the Fold 4 for 30 minutes, the battery went from 20% to 73%. Remember, the Fold 4 doesn’t come with a wall charger.

    The Galaxy Z Fold 3 (left) and Galaxy Z Fold 4 look nearly identical.

    Kevin Heinz/CNET

    Fold 4 vs. Fold 3 vs. Fold 2
    The Galaxy Z Fold 4 adds all of the nuance and refinement that the Fold 3 needed. But if you have a Fold 3, there’s no need to upgrade to the 4.

    If you have a Fold 2, it might be worth upgrading, especially if you can score a sweet trade-in deal. You get a faster processor, a more robust build, waterproofing (though the Fold 4 still lacks dust resistance), S Pen support and superior cameras.

    The Fold 4 clearly isn’t priced for mass appeal but it is identical to what the Fold 3 costs. I do think it’s a fair price for what you get in 2022, which is a premium phone made with parts that are unique, cutting-edge and expensive. But so is a Ferrari SF90 Spider, and that costs over half a million dollars. Despite my crush, I won’t be buying the Fold 4 or a Ferrari anytime soon. And we are still years away from a foldable phone being affordable to most people.

    As for me, I hope my infatuation with the Fold 4 lasts. Only time will tell.

  356. Idaho Fish and Game officials recently stumbled upon an ‘elk boneyard’ at the base of Craig Mountain in Idaho.

    The grisly sight included 15 elk heads, patches of fur, shredded flesh, mangled antlers and countless broken bones.

    Wildlife staff was led to the gruesome scene when a mortality signal went off from a radio collared elk on Craig Mountain.

    Upon arrive at the slope, the team determine it was a landslide with boulders the size of beach balls that slaughtered the herd as it attempted to climb over the mountain.

    The grisly sight included 15 elk heads, patches of fur, shredded flesh, mangled antlers and countless broken bones

    Idaho Fish and Game came across the pile of bones, fur and flesh on July 8, after receiving signals from one of their collard elks.

    Mark Shepard, senior technician with Idaho Fish and Game, wrote in a : ‘Data generated from the GPS collars give wildlife staff the ability to track where collared individuals are located, their movement patterns, and potentially where and, in some cases, how they die.

    ‘When an animal is suspected to have died, Idaho Department of Fish and Game staff goes to the site of the last location and gathers data to determine cause of death.’

    Officials trekked out to Craig Mountain to find what they thought would be a lone dead elk, but instead they came across a total of 15 dead animals.

    Wildlife staff was led to the gruesome scene when a mortality signal went off from a radio collared elk on Craig Mountain 

    They speculate the herd was climbing up the mountain side when an avalanche released giant boulders.

    The avalanche brought ‘them down almost 1,000 feet over just a distance of 300-400 yards, this group of elk was caught up in rubble and snow ultimately resulting in death,’ Shepard wrote.

    The team sifted through the bones and found four radio collars in total.

    In the video shared by Idaho Fish and Game, Shepard can be heard saying: ‘I’m sure [there was] some scavenging,’ Shepard says in the video. ‘But with so many bones, it’s hard to say which ones go to which collar.’

    The avalanche brought ‘them down almost 1,000 feet over just a distance of 300-400 yards, this group of elk was caught up in rubble and snow ultimately resulting in death’

    Craig Mountain is located near where Washington and Oregon meet Idaho, and is a wildlife management area of 115,000 acres.

    The recent elk deaths are similar to the fate of another heard in Oregon in 2018,  reports.

    A total of 19 were crossing the Central Cascades mountain when a large rock slab came tumbling down the mountain and buried them.

    Officials speculate the event happened in either 2016 or 2017, but were not discovered until the summer of 2018.

    ‘Natural events such as avalanches and rock slides often occur without being observed and it is generally unknown how these events influence wildlife,’ writes Shepard. 

    ‘This event provides evidence that natural events such as this can influence a wildlife population.

    ‘Collars placed on multiple species across the state over the span of months and years, allow Idaho Department of Fish and Game to inform management decisions on preserving, protecting, and perpetuating wildlife for continued use and enjoyment of the public.’

    A federal program that has delivered millions of free at-home COVID-19 tests to American households through the US Postal Service has now ended, due to a lack of supply.

    USA Today first reported on Aug. 26 about the limited supply of tests. Soon after, USPS updated its page for at-home COVID tests to say the free at-home COVID-19 tests program would be suspended on Sept. 2, 2022. On Friday, the site updated again to announce it is no longer accepting orders for tests.

    US Postal Service/Screenshot by Peter Butler/CNET

    The original website that the government launched in January — CovidTests.gov — now has a banner that reads, “Ordering through the free at-home test program was suspended on Friday, September 2 because Congress hasn’t provided additional funding to replenish the nation’s stockpile of tests.”

    Even though the Postal Service has suspended delivery of COVID tests, there are other ways to get tests for free. Learn your options for finding free COVID-19 tests, as well as what happens next with the federal program to deliver free tests.

    For more on COVID-19 testing, learn why the expiration date on your COVID test box might be wrong and whether at-home tests work with the BA.5 subvariant of COVID.

    How did the free COVID-19 test program from USPS work?

    In January, President Joe Biden announced the launch of CovidTests.gov, a website that let households order four free rapid antigen COVID-19 tests shipped by USPS. The site added four more free tests in March, and then another eight more in May. 

    Unlike some complicated government applications, ordering free tests from the Postal Service was simple. It took less than two minutes to complete a short form asking for your name and mailing address, and the tests shipped in about a week or two. Americans without internet access or those who had trouble ordering online could request tests using a toll-free phone number.

    A phone recording at that COVID-19 hotline reiterates that COVID test orders have been suspended, but it also mentions that people who are blind or have low vision can order specially designed COVID tests that are more accessible. However, a representative on the hotline said that those tests are no longer available for order either. That confirms a report from CBS News that the accessible tests are also “temporarily out of stock.”

    Why has USPS stopped taking orders for free COVID tests?
    According to the White House, without new funding for Congress to pay for at-home COVID tests, the government needs to conserve the supply that it has remaining in case of a major COVID-19 outbreak this fall. The Biden administration has been urging Congress to approve more money to fight COVID for most of 2022, but efforts have stalled. 

    A $1.5 trillion omnibus spending bill in the spring was passed only after removing all funding for COVID-19. In a March 9 letter to colleagues, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi blamed the lack of COVID-19 funding on Republicans’ insistence that all money be offset by cuts elsewhere, to which several Democrats objected.

    The Biden administration has suggested that as many as 100 million Americans could be infected with COVID-19 this fall and winter.

    Will the Postal Service program for free COVID tests return?
    It’s all about the funding. In an interview with NBC News, an unnamed senior Biden official said, “If Congress provides funding, we will expeditiously resume distribution of free tests through CovidTests.gov.”

    On Sept. 2, Office of Management and Budget director Shalanda Young announced that the White House is now asking Congress for $22.4 million in COVID funding to “meet immediate short-term domestic needs, including testing; accelerate the research and development of next-generation vaccines and therapeutics; prepare for future variants; and support the global response to COVID-19.”

    Where can I get free at-home COVID-19 tests now?
    Even though free COVID-19 tests from the Post Office are suspended, you still have a few options for finding similar at-home COVID tests for free. First, if you’re lucky enough to have private health insurance, you can get eight free COVID tests per person per month. 

    In January, the Biden administration announced the requirement for health insurance companies to cover at-home tests. Participants can either receive their eight free tests a month from provider-based pharmacies or be reimbursed by their provider for up to $12 for each test they purchase.

    At-home COVID-19 tests are also eligible expenses for flexible spending accounts (FSA) and health savings accounts (HSA).

    Medicare was not initially included in the plan to distribute free COVID-19 tests, but on April 4, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced that participants with Plan B or those in a Medicare Advantage plan were also eligible to receive eight free tests a month. 

    It’s still possible to get free COVID-19 test kits through health insurance, Medicare or local health clinics.

    Sarah Tew/CNET

    If you’re not insured or covered by Medicare, you still can get free COVID-19 tests. As part of the Biden administration’s National COVID-19 Preparedness Plan, the Department of Health and Human Services has provided millions of free COVID tests to community health centers and Medicare-certified rural health clinics.

    You can search for a local health center or clinic with free COVID tests near you using a tool on the HHS website.

    When NASA’s robotic Perseverance rover blasted off to Mars last year, it brought with it a small, golden box called MOXIE, for the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment. 

    Since then, MOXIE has been making oxygen out of thin Martian air. 

    And on Wednesday in the journal Science Advances, the team behind this contraption confirmed MOXIE has been working so well that its oxygen output is comparable with the rate of a modest Earth tree’s output. 

    By the end of 2021, extensive data showed that MOXIE successfully reached its oxygen target output of six grams per hour during seven separate experimental runs, as well as in a variety of atmospheric conditions. That includes day and night, different Martian seasons and other such things.

    “The only thing we have not demonstrated is running at dawn or dusk, when the temperature is changing substantially,” Michael Hecht, principal investigator of the MOXIE mission at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Haystack Observatory, said in a press release. “We do have an ace up our sleeve that will let us do that, and once we test that in the lab, we can reach that last milestone to show we can really run any time.”

    Here’s where MOXIE is located on the Martian rover.

    NASA

    For scientists and space agencies alike, it’s especially exciting that MOXIE’s promise holds strong, because proposed timelines for astronaut-laden Mars expeditions have looming deadlines for learning how to keep future red planet space explorers safe. 

    SpaceX CEO Elon Musk’s goal of landing humans on Mars appears to be 2029, for instance, and NASA’s own upcoming Artemis I moon mission is meant to pave the way for Martian excursions planned for the 2030s or 2040s. “To support a human mission to Mars, we have to bring a lot of stuff from Earth, like computers, spacesuits, and habitats,” Jeffrey Hoffman, MOXIE deputy principal investigator and a professor at MIT, said in a press release. “But dumb old oxygen? If you can make it there, go for it — you’re way ahead of the game.”

    As it stands, MOXIE is super small (it’s basically the size of a toaster), but this is potentially a good thing. It means that if scientists can somehow scale up the patterned cube’s size, MOXIE could make far more than just six grams of oxygen per hour. 

    “We have learned a tremendous amount that will inform future systems at a larger scale,” Hecht said. 

    Maybe one day, the researchers say, it could eventually produce oxygen at the rate of several hundred trees, thus sustaining astronauts once they arrive on Mars and fueling rockets that require the life-giving element to bring crew back to Earth. 

    “Astronauts who spend a year on the surface will maybe use one metric ton between them,” Hecht said in a NASA press release last year. But, per the space agency, getting four astronauts off the Martian surface on a future mission would require approximately 15,000 pounds (7 metric tons) of rocket fuel and 55,000 pounds (25 metric tons) of oxygen. Bringing all that oxygen from Earth would be supercostly and inefficient.

    So, as Hoffman says, why not just make all the oxygen on the arid planet itself?

    How does MOXIE work?
    On Mars, MOXIE is actively converting carbon dioxide in the Martian atmosphere — where the element makes up a whopping 96% — into breathable oxygen. 

    A little chemistry 101 is that carbon dioxide molecules are made up of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. Those bits are basically stuck together. But an instrument within MOXIE, called the Solid Oxide Electrolyzer, can sort of harvest the oxygen bits within those CO2 molecules that scientists are interested in. Once complete, all the free-floating oxygen particles are recombined into O2, aka molecules with two oxygen atoms, otherwise known as the kind of oxygen we know and love. 

    I know it’s different, but I keep thinking about Pixar’s WALL-E doing this. So, as WALL-E would say: Ta-da!

    Technicians at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory lower the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) instrument into the belly of the Perseverance rover.

    NASA/JPL-Caltech

    “This is the first demonstration of actually using resources on the surface of another planetary body, and transforming them chemically into something that would be useful for a human mission,” Hoffman said. “It’s historic in that sense.”

    Along the way, this process requires the use of superhigh heat — reaching temperatures of approximately 1,470 degrees Fahrenheit (800 Celsius) — which is fascinatingly what gives MOXIE its characteristic gold coating. 

    Like with NASA’s trailblazing James Webb Space Telescope, MOXIE has to be shielded from infrared heat because it operates with heat itself. A gold coating does just that, and in fact the JWST’s mirrors are coated with gold for the exact reason, too.

    One wing of the James Webb Space Telescope’s main mirror opens into place during a final test of the mirror deployment system in May 2021. Check out that gold-plated beauty.

    NASA

    Up next, the MOXIE team intends to demonstrate that MOXIE works well under even more intensive conditions, like a next run coming up that’ll occur during the “highest density of the year,” Hecht said. “We’ll set everything as high as we dare, and let it run as long as we can.”

    Finished with season 4 of Stranger Things? Done with Marvel and ? Maybe you should check out Dark. For my money it’s the best show currently streaming on Netflix.

    A mind-bending show that deftly combines internal family drama with time travel, Dark is the rarest of things: a show without a single dip in quality. All three seasons rule in every way imaginable.

    The Stranger Things comparison makes sense, but Dark is a very different show.

    Netflix

    Dark, at its core, is a mystery series. Much like Stranger Things — the show it’s most frequently compared to — Dark’s first season focuses almost exclusively on the search for a missing child. But in this show the child hasn’t escaped to a parallel universe, but a different time 30 years in the past. Before long Dark is a show that operates across multiple time zones and dimensions. 

    Dark has everything. It does complex, interweaving plot twists on a level that makes Westworld look like a pretend-clever show for children. It earns these twists by also being a delicately written study of broken familial interrelationships and small-town claustrophobia. 

    It’s a show that juggles the risks that come with time travel narratives with ease. Dark’s plot is complex to the point where I make a sport of waiting for it to completely fall apart. I spent three whole seasons waiting for Dark to drop the ball and collapse beneath its own weight, but it didn’t. 

    This TV show is a miracle. 

    Netflix: Watch Dark

    See at Netflix

    Probably the worst thing you could say about Dark is that it’s pretentious. Unlike other time travel shows like, say, Outlander — which revels in camp and sort of begs you to watch ironically — Dark takes itself completely seriously. It’s almost unrelenting. 

    Dark asks you to sincerely care about what’s happening on-screen. It infuses its plot with multiple explicit references to Ariadne and the Bible. In most science fiction this would be enough to make my eyes detach from their socket and roll all the way backward into my brain, but Dark earns its delusions of grandeur by actually being good enough to sustain them.

    When Samsung launched its original Galaxy Buds Pro noise-canceling earbuds, one of its headline marketing messages was the attention it paid to their sound quality. Indeed, they delivered on that front, but a certain subset of users, including me, found them to be a less than ideal fit for their ears. In my case, none of the included ear tips allowed me to get a tight seal, so I had to swap in a larger set of tips from a rival set of earbuds. So, needless to say, I was curious to see what Samsung’s engineers had come up with for the second-gen

    Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro

    Fairly pricey

    Some key features only work with Samsung devices

    No true multipoint Bluetooth pairing

    Sure enough, they did. The first thing you’ll notice about the Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro — which are launching alongside the new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Galaxy Z Fold 4 — is that they simply have a better all-around design than their predecessor. Not only are they 15% smaller, according to Samsung, but they weigh slightly less (5.5 grams per bud versus 6.3 grams) and have a matte finish on both the buds and case that gives them a nicer feel and makes them a bit more grippy.

    That makes the compact case a little less likely to slip out of your hand and — more importantly — it helps keep the buds in your ears a little more securely. And thanks to their new shape and smaller size, I was able to get a tight seal with the largest set of included ear tips and didn’t have to supply my own. Additionally, the earbuds don’t stick out of your ears as much as the original Galaxy Buds Pro did, and they look more discreet. They’re available in three colors — Bora purple, white and graphite — and while I can’t say they’ll fit all ears equally well, they should provide a better fit to more ears than the original Galaxy Buds Pro. 

    Proprietary high-res audio and other Galaxy-exclusive features
    Aside from the revamped design, Samsung is touting the buds’ improved noise canceling and support for 24-bit high-resolution audio. The catch is to get that 24-bit audio you’ll need a Galaxy device equipped with Samsung’s One UI 4.0 and a music streaming service like Tidal or

    The buds didn’t stick out of my ears too much.

    Like their predecessor, these have touch controls (you can turn certain ones on or off, or you can turn them all off) along with an option to activate hands-free Bixby, Samsung’s voice assistant. Additionally, Samsung’s 360 Audio virtual surround feature (with head tracking) returns in an “Enhanced” version and now works with a variety of Galaxy devices out of the gate, though it’s not compatible with other Android devices. It works along the same lines as Apple’s spatial audio feature for AirPods and can enhance your movie and TV watching experience, though it doesn’t seem to be as pronounced Apple’s spatial audio, which I think is slightly better overall. It also works with music or any audio you’re listening to.  

    The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are IPX7 water-resistant, which means they can withstand being fully submerged in 1-meter deep water for up to 30 minutes. I had no problem running with them and they didn’t slip out of my ears.

    Like their predecessors, battery life is rated at five hours with noise canceling on and eight hours with it off at moderate volume levels, plus you get about three additional charges from the case (it charges via USB-C and wirelessly). You could quibble that five hours is pretty mediocre and that no improvements have been made to the battery life, but it’s hard to shrink buds while increasing battery life. Also, when you drop the buds in the case, there’s a quick charge feature that nets you an hour of use with a five-minute charge and double that with a 10-minute charge. 

    Samsung says the buds have an improved air vent (to relieve pressure) and wind shield.

    David Carnoy/CNET

    Sensors detect when the buds are in your ears and will pause your music when you take both buds out of your ears and but won’t resume playback when you put them back in without you tapping on one of the buds (you can use a single bud while leaving the other one in the case). Additionally, you can opt to activate a “voice detect” mode in the Galaxy Wearable companion app that automatically turns off noise canceling and switches to “ambient sound” mode when you speak, allowing you to hear the outside world and engage in a conversation with someone. Sony offers a similar feature with its WF-1000XM4 and LinkBuds S earbuds.

    Another new feature worth mentioning has nothing to do with audio. You can toggle on the “neck stretch reminders” setting that detects your head position and alerts you when you’ve bent your head downward for 10 minutes. As I’ve written this review, I’ve been alerted several times to stretch my neck.  

    Like the AirPods and some other earbuds these have a find-my-buds feature that Samsung calls SmartThings Find. It can tell you your location when the buds were last connected to your device, but it doesn’t offer the more precise tracking capabilities of Apple’s enhanced Find My in its latest AirPods. 

    The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro have three microphones on each earbud along with ear-detection sensors.

    David Carnoy/CNET

    Lastly, like their predecessor and the more affordable Galaxy Buds 2, the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro don’t offer true multipoint Bluetooth pairing that allows you to pair them with two devices, such as a phone and computer, at the same time. But Samsung says they seamlessly pair with all the Samsung devices logged into your Samsung account, including Samsung TVs built in 2022 or later and Samsung

    Samsung says it’s improved the noise canceling on the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro by 40% (it calls it “Intelligent ANC”). I found it an improvement on the original Galaxy Buds Pro, but noise-canceling performance is affected by how tight a seal you get from the ear tips (as is sound quality), so your perception of how much it’s improved may vary by how good a seal you get.

    I thought the noise canceling was close but not quite there, compared with the noise canceling of the Sony WF-1000XM4, but it did a good job muffling a variety of noise on the streets of New York and underground in the subway. You can turn the noise canceling off or activate ambient mode, the equivalent of Apple’s transparency mode, which I thought sounded natural. But there’s no setting to adjust noise canceling levels; it automatically adapts to your environment.

    The Galaxy Buds 2 Pro are equipped with two-way drivers (10mm woofer, 5.3mm tweeter), which is nice, and three microphones, two of which are beam-forming for voice calls. I paired them with a Galaxy Z Flip 3, iPhone 13 Pro and Google Pixel 4 XL and streamed music using Qobuz. I also streamed some movies from Google Play and Netflix.

    According to Samsung, there’s no way to check whether you’re getting 24-bit audio (nothing indicates whether you are — or aren’t), but if your audio setup meets the requirements listed — a Galaxy phone with Android 8.0 or higher and One UI 4.0 or higher with at least 1.5GB of RAM — you’ll be using the Samsung Seamless Codec, which transmits in 24-bit, assuming your audio files support it. (Qobuz files do.) I find it irritating that there’s no way to tell what bit rate you’re streaming at, but I’ll have to take Samsung’s word that I was getting 24-bit audio. 

    I did notice a slight difference when streaming with the Galaxy Z Flip 3. However, using the iPhone 13 Pro, the sound quality was also very good with an amply wide soundstage. I went back and forth with Spoon’s Knock Knock Knock track and a few other songs. The Flip 3’s sound came across slightly more accurately (a bit more clarity) with a touch more detail and depth. The bass is punchy and well-defined and I didn’t experience any noticeable distortion at higher volumes. In short, they’re excellent-sounding buds, though I’m not sure they’re superior to other top earbuds in their price range, including the Pixel Buds Pro, Beats Fit Pro and Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3.

    I mostly went with the default sound setting, though you can tweak the signature profile in the Galaxy Wearable app with some preset equalizer settings, including a bass boost setting. The truth is a lot of these premium earbuds are starting to sound pretty similar and it’s really the fit — and how they fit your particular ears — that’s going to make you like one more than another.

    I’ll finish by saying that once again Samsung has delivered a set of Galaxy buds that work quite well as a headset for making calls. They have good voice pick-up from the beam-forming microphones while providing good background noise reduction. Callers said they could hear me relatively clearly in the noisy streets of New York and the buds did a decent job reducing wind noise. They’re in the upper echelons in terms of voice-calling performance.  

    By comparison, the Pixel Buds Pro have fewer features geared exclusively toward Pixel owners (virtual surround), and such features as hands-free Google Assistant and true multipoint Bluetooth pairing are available across all Android devices. However, the Pixel Buds have no enhanced audio codec support, which may be important if you’re convinced it makes a big difference. I personally think it makes only a slight difference with this class of earbuds, which may have a premium price tag but aren’t high-end.   

    The bigger question will be whether it’s worth upgrading to the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro if you already own a pair of Galaxy Buds, particularly the original Galaxy Buds Pro. I think that will largely depend on what price you can get the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro for. While their list price is $230, Samsung is currently offering trade-in deals (any Galaxy Buds in any condition) that bring their price down to around $155 and you can often get deals on them as part of a bundle with a new Galaxy phone.  

    For me anyway, while the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro offer some small performance improvements over their predecessor, their design is the biggest upgrade. That makes them the best Galaxy Buds yet.

    Finished with season 4 of Stranger Things? Done with Marvel and ? Maybe you should check out Dark. For my money it’s the best show currently streaming on Netflix.

    A mind-bending show that deftly combines internal family drama with time travel, Dark is the rarest of things: a show without a single dip in quality. All three seasons rule in every way imaginable.

    The Stranger Things comparison makes sense, but Dark is a very different show.

    Netflix

    Dark, at its core, is a mystery series. Much like Stranger Things — the show it’s most frequently compared to — Dark’s first season focuses almost exclusively on the search for a missing child. But in this show the child hasn’t escaped to a parallel universe, but a different time 30 years in the past. Before long Dark is a show that operates across multiple time zones and dimensions. 

    Dark has everything. It does complex, interweaving plot twists on a level that makes Westworld look like a pretend-clever show for children. It earns these twists by also being a delicately written study of broken familial interrelationships and small-town claustrophobia. 

    It’s a show that juggles the risks that come with time travel narratives with ease. Dark’s plot is complex to the point where I make a sport of waiting for it to completely fall apart. I spent three whole seasons waiting for Dark to drop the ball and collapse beneath its own weight, but it didn’t. 

    This TV show is a miracle. 

    Netflix: Watch Dark

    See at Netflix

    Probably the worst thing you could say about Dark is that it’s pretentious. Unlike other time travel shows like, say, Outlander — which revels in camp and sort of begs you to watch ironically — Dark takes itself completely seriously. It’s almost unrelenting. 

    Dark asks you to sincerely care about what’s happening on-screen. It infuses its plot with multiple explicit references to Ariadne and the Bible. In most science fiction this would be enough to make my eyes detach from their socket and roll all the way backward into my brain, but Dark earns its delusions of grandeur by actually being good enough to sustain them.

    Among the devices revealed at its Unpacked event last week, Samsung showed off its new flagship Galaxy Z Fold 4 foldable phone, which packs improvements like better multitasking software, a slimmer design and a more durable body. One thing Samsung didn’t change is the sky-high $1,800 price tag — which few consumers can likely afford. But that exclusivity is exactly why the Fold 4 exists. 

    It may seem perplexing to keep the Z Fold 4 at about twice the price of other premium phones when Samsung wants foldables to become more mainstream, as CEO TM Roh said during Unpacked. I argued that price cuts would be the best way Samsung could combat Apple this holiday season. Since Samsung is holding steady with the Z Fold 4’s price, it’s clear the company is content to keep it a niche device that’s out of reach for all but the most deep-pocketed consumers.

    The Z Fold 4 sits atop a strata in which it has no real rivals. It’s essentially a Ferrari amid Mercedes and BMWs. Creating that level of exclusivity is entirely the point, giving Samsung an exciting and aspirational product that generates buzz and interest in the entire lineup. Chipping a few hundreds dollars off its price won’t make a difference, said IDC Research Director Nabila Popal.

    Keeping the Z Fold 4 at $1,800 is “the right move, in my opinion, even if it won’t be affordable to the masses,” Popal said.

    This dynamic, which runs counter to the idea that a lower priced foldable may spur interest in the category, is one of the predicaments this whole area faces. Foldables occupy an exciting niche of the phone business, which has seen an endless parade of drab metal and glass slabs come through for more than a decade. But the high price tag keeps them from really breaking out.

    The only answer is to slowly build up the market and interest through a combination of exciting, but less attainable, options like the Z Fold 4, and the comparatively affordable $1,000 Z Flip 4.

    Samsung is hoping the Z Fold 4’s dynamic design — which is still impressive in person — gives the company a pop ahead of Apple’s own event next month and generates excitement about foldables in general. 

    Samsung is relying on the Z Flip series to sell the vibe of foldables, transitional phones that alter their shape. And Samsung has work to do, because they’re still scarce in the wild, with research firm IDC estimating that a bit over 7 million foldables shipped in 2021 compared with 1.3 billion smartphones sold last year.

    From a market perspective, the small volume the Z Fold 4 could get may help Samsung gain back some of the global share of high-end phones, as Apple sells seven of every 10 $800-and-up premium phones globally. 

    foldable phones more mainstream, the company may have little choice but to keep its prices static. Unlike truly mainstream products, like Samsung’s Galaxy S series, which have flat displays and components used in many other smartphones, the small volume of foldables sold every year have specialty parts.

    “That means the very specialized components required … are still only produced in small quantities and therefore are likely still very expensive,” Technalysis Research analyst Bob O’Donnell said.

    That leads to a chicken-and-egg problem that impacts every specialty device: Parts can’t get cheaper until they’re made at scale, and there’s no point in making them at scale while consumers buy too few of the pricey devices using those parts. That’s the reason so few phone-makers are making foldables, including Apple, O’Donnell said.

    “We can’t really ignore the fact that the supply chain is not really ready for an Apple-level product, and that’s part of the reason Apple hasn’t [made a foldable] either,” O’Donnell said.

    Samsung is splitting the difference with the Z Flip 4, a clamshell foldable that has half the footprint of a “flat” smartphone when it’s closed, yet unfolds to show an inner screen as large as any regular phone’s display. Samsung sees the Z Flip 4 as an “entry device” that turns bold buyers into foldable lifers, an on-ramp for consumers to eventually upgrade to the bigger, pricier Z Fold line. 

    Samsung says the Z Flip is the better-selling series, accounting for 70% of the company’s foldables shipped, but both devices serve different demographics. The Z Flip is stylish but ultimately just a shrinkable version of a typical ‘flat’ smartphone, not a junior edition of the productivity-enhancing Z Fold devices that unfold into tablet-size screens.

    More foldables are being sold every year, and IDC predicts shipments will grow to 25 million foldables in 2025. Whether that’s enough volume to enable cheaper foldables is tough to forecast. Samsung has at least gotten creative with offering foldables with more value.

    Cheaper foldables through trade-ins and carrier deals
    The industry is working to make foldables a thing. You can get a Galaxy Z Fold 4 for less than $1,800 through Samsung’s generous trade-in values and various carrier deals. Samsung retains its elite price tag, carriers get more customers signed on to their services, and customers  get their hands on the next evolution in phones.

    Samsung’s trade-in deals knock $1,000 off the list price of a Z Fold 4 if you send in your older Z Fold 3, Z Fold 2 or this year’s Galaxy S22 Ultra. But trade-in values are still pretty generous for the original Z Fold or other flagship Samsung phones from the last few years. Apple’s priciest phones also get decent trade-in value, but you’ll get barely anything for phones from Google, Motorola, LG or OnePlus.

    Carriers can also save you money on the Z Fold 4, with Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile offering varying trade-in deals to lower the price by up to $1,000. Verizon also offers $800 off a second Z Fold 4 after buying a first, should your household need two foldables.

    See at Samsung

    or the holiday season, when Samsung may introduce new deals to discount its foldables. 

    Just don’t hold your breath for Samsung to discount its most premium mobile device. Unlike the Z Flip 3, which got a $150 price cut once its successor was revealed this week, the Z Fold 3 has the same $1,800 price on Samsung’s website that it had when it launched a year ago. With high parts prices, years of R&D to recoup, and a lack of competition, there’s not much pressure for Samsung to lower its prices.

    Samsung is “leading in this space at the moment and can afford to charge a premium before other Android players ramp up in this space, and perhaps even Apple in a couple of years,” Popal said.

  364. Manchester United’s board reportedly vetoed Erik ten Hag’s plans to sign Chelsea forward Hakim Ziyech during the summer transfer window. 

    United spent a massive £214million – the most they have ever splashed out in a single window – as Ten Hag set about transforming the squad. 

    The loan signing of Martin Dubravka on deadline day completed the club’s business following the arrivals of Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen, Lisandro Martinez, Casemiro and Antony.

    However, according to the , one player who Ten Hag was not allowed to bring in was Ziyech. 

    While the Dutchman ‘enjoyed a near-fully supportive first window’ as United ripped up their old transfer rule-book, the club’s board are said to have blocked his approach for the former Morocco international. 

    However, it is claimed that Ziyech was only a ‘back-up option’, most likely to Brazilian forward Antony.

    Antony’s £85.5m move was completed on deadline day to take United’s spending over £200m

    The 22-year-old’s £85.5m transfer to Old Trafford from Ajax was completed on deadline day to make him the second most expensive signing in United’s history behind Paul Pogba.

    Ten Hag managed Ziyech at Ajax for three seasons, during which time the club won the Eredivisie title and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. 

    Only Dusan Tadic contributed towards more goals under the Dutchman than the Chelsea man, who scored 35 goals and provided 53 assists while he was in charge. 

    ‘He is a character, headstrong. But that also makes him brilliant,’ Ten Hag said when Ziyech completed a £38m move to Stamford Bridge in 2020. 

    ‘He sees things that others don’t see. Sometimes he is a trainer’s nightmare, but you have to give him space. 

    Ten Hag managed Ziyech at Ajax for three seasons, during which time the club won the title 

    ‘If they start playing on their responsibility, you see the development. He took Ajax by the hand, and we were very successful together.’ 

    Ziyech has struggled to nail down a regular spot in Chelsea’s team and has only started one of the first five Premier League matches of the season. 

    The 29-year-old is having to compete with Mason Mount, Kai Havertz, Christian Pulisic and new signings Raheem Sterling and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for a spot in Thomas Tuchel’s front three. 

  365. A little boy who bonded with a therapy dog at the hospital while recovering from open heart surgery has now received a puppy to call his very own. 

    Two-year-old Truett Palmer from Owensville, Missouri, was born with Mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly (MFDM), a disorder which causes development delays and abnormalities in the face and heart. 

    Due to his disorder, the toddler needed open heart surgery to fix a problem caused by a birth defect. And during recovery, he quickly bonded with a therapy dog — only to have to say goodbye upon leaving the hospital.

    ‘At Boston Children’s they did his open heart surgery to hopefully repair, make things better and give him a better quality of life,’ Danielle Palmer told . 

    Surgeons were working to fix Truett’s congenital heart defect, truncus arteriosus, which is a disease that occurs when a single blood vessel comes out of the heart instead of two, according to the But complications during surgery caused Truett’s heart to fail. 

    ‘There were complications with the surgery and he had severe heart failure,’ Palmer said. ‘That’s what put him on heart transplant list.’

    He received a heart in October, after which he spent ten weeks recovering in the hospital. That was long enough for Truett to form a special bond with Zuri, a female goldendoddle working as a therapy dog for the hospital. 

    But Truett had to say goodbye to the dog when he was transferred to St. Louis Children’s Hospital in Missouri for another 12 weeks of recovery.

    This story is part of Home Tips, CNET’s collection of practical advice for getting the most out of your home, inside and out.

    If you’ve been rinsing your teeth after brushing, there’s a good reason to stop now and change your routine. I used to rinse thoroughly after brushing my teeth to remove any remnants of toothpaste left in my mouth. But this method isn’t the best and I only found out last year while scrolling through TikTok. 

    Instead, I now spit out as much toothpaste as I can without swishing with water so I can allow the toothpaste to do its job just a little longer. However, I wasn’t sure why I was doing this — or what the benefits were — until I spoke with an expert.

    I talked to Dr. Edmond Hewlett, consumer advisor for the American Dental Association and professor at UCLA School of Dentistry, to find out why you shouldn’t rinse your mouth with water after brushing your teeth. Here’s the answer.

    Why it’s important to skip rinsing with water after brushing your teeth
    Fluoride is an important ingredient in toothpaste that helps make the enamel harder and more resistant to acids that cause cavities. Hewlett says it’s the most well-established effective ingredient in toothpaste, so make sure yours has fluoride in it. 

    When you brush your teeth, you’re cleaning any film and bacteria from food and sugary drinks. When you go a step further and skip rinsing, you’re leaving the fluoride from the toothpaste in your mouth for a longer time, giving you a better effect from the fluoride.

    Wait at least 15 minutes after brushing to drink water. After brushing your teeth, Hewlett explains, your saliva will clear the toothpaste out so you won’t taste it all day. 

    What if you’ve been rinsing all your life? 
    If you’re just finding out about this tip, you may be thinking you’ve been undoing all your hard work of brushing every day. But that’s not true. Hewlett says as long as you brush the standard two times a day for two minutes each time, the fluoride will remain in your mouth to help protect your teeth. 

    You’re still doing what you need to do to have good oral health to protect your teeth. The idea of not rinsing is just an extra step to help the fluoride be even more effective.

    “When you measure a person’s fluoride levels in saliva, if they don’t rinse, there’s more fluoride,” Hewlett said. But it’s not going to be a waste of your time if you do rinse. He said research is still being done to determine the difference it makes in the long term to prevent cavities. 

    Check that your toothpaste contains fluoride.

    Your specific dental health also plays a role
    There are different risk levels for getting cavities per person, Hewlett said. 

    “If you typically don’t get cavities, then you should continue using fluoride toothpaste. The decision to rinse or not to rinse after brushing probably won’t make a difference.”

    On the other hand, for those who struggle with cavities, not rinsing is probably a better decision. Additionally, you should get help from your dentist to find out why you’re getting cavities regularly — for instance, it could be your eating habits, snacking on sugary foods or not brushing your teeth regularly. If you’re at higher risk for cavities, you should do everything you can to help prevent them. 

    Is it OK to use mouthwash to rinse your teeth after brushing?
    It’s OK as long as you use a mouthwash that also contains fluoride so you can still get the same effect. Otherwise, without fluoride, it’s similar to rinsing with water.

    More teeth brushing tips
    Here are some additional tips for keeping your oral health up to par.

    Always use a soft bristle toothbrush, and never medium or hard. Hewlett says anything but soft can increase the risk of gum recession. 

    It doesn’t matter if you floss before or after you brush your teeth, as long as you floss once a day to remove plaque and stuck food. 

    You don’t have to aggressively brush your teeth to get them clean. While scrubbing your dishes with extra force may make them extra clean, it’s not necessary for your teeth and can also lead to gum recession.

    Gently brush along the gum line with a soft bristle brush to help prevent gum disease.

    Always consult with your dentist for personalized advice. They understand what your oral health profile looks like.

  367. France ups Africa anti-terror support after Ivory Coast attack
    By Afp

    Published: 22:12 BST, 15 March 2016 | Updated: 22:12 BST, 15 March 2016

    France vowed Tuesday to step up anti-terrorist cooperation in Africa after Al-Qaeda’s North African branch said it carried out a deadly weekend attack on an Ivory Coast beach resort.

    “We must reinforce our cooperation so that the terrorists have no chance” of success, said French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault who arrived in Abidjan earlier Tuesday along with Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve.

    The two ministers flew in after Sunday’s attack on the Grand-Bassam resort that left 18 people dead, among them four French nationals.

    Thirty-three people were wounded in the attack, 26 of whom are still in hospital.

    After visiting some of the wounded, the French ministers met with Ivorian Defence Minister Alain-Richard Donwahi and Interior Minister Hamed Bakayoko.

    Also in Abidjan as a mark of solidarity were Benin President Thomas Boni Yayi and Togolese counterpart Faure Gnassingbe, who urged a regional response to terror.

    “You don’t ifght terrorism alone… there are national responses which are important but they must be complemented and amplified by a regional and international response,” Gnassignbe said.

    “Alone, noone can defeat terrorism.”

    “Terrorism falls under international jurisdiction,” agreed Benin’s president.

    Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Magreb (AQIM) said the shooting rampage was one of a series of operations “targeting dens of espionage and conspiracies”.

    It directly threatened France and its allies in the region in warning that nations involved in the anti-insurgent Operation Barkhane and the 2013 French-led Operation Serval in Mali would “receive a response”, with their “criminal leaders” and interests targeted, according to the SITE group which monitors extremist groups.

    – French special forces –

    “Regarding (Operation) Barkhane… we have decided to station GIGN elements who in the event of attack in the region will be able intervene quickly and provide training in circumstances of serious terrorist crisis,” to achieve a coordinated response, Cazeneuve said.

    GIGN is a French paramilitary unit.

    He said rapid intervention units could follow and that if necessary, France would “go beyond” mere coordination, without giving further details.

    French President Francois Hollande had on Sunday vowed to “intensify cooperation” in African states hit by insurgencies.

    Barkhane, which succeeded Serval in 2014, has at least 3,500 soldiers deployed across five countries — Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania and Niger — to combat jihadist insurgencies.

    AQIM warned Ivory Coast and all allies of France in the region that their “crimes will not pass without a response.” The group issued a wider threat to Western nationals to leave Muslim lands or “we will destroy your security and the security of your citizens”.

    The group had also claimed the attack on a top hotel and a nearby restaurant in the Burkina Faso capital in January that killed 30 people, and a hostage siege in the Malian capital Bamako in November that cost 20 lives.

    The Ivorian government said Tuesday it remained unsure of how many assailants carried out Sunday’s shooting.

    “We are still looking. We must be transparent. We want to be sure,” Interior Minister Hamed Bakayoko told AFP.

    Abidjan says it killed three gunmen but some witnesses reported seeing as many as seven attackers.

    “We don’t suspect more but we’re making sure we carry out the widest possible sweep,” Bakayoko said.

    The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is the fourth version of Samsung’s phone that folds open into a small tablet. It costs $1,800. Yes, that’s a lot of gravy. Most of that price comes from the Z Fold 4’s 7.6-inch foldable display. That same folding screen has a high refresh rate for playing video games, a clever camera hidden behind it for video calls and S Pen support for writing and drawing. Despite not being a huge fan of previous Galaxy Fold phones, I cannot get enough of the Galaxy Z Fold 4.

    Remember the first time you had a crush? Maybe you didn’t even know what a crush was but found yourself enamored with someone else? That’s kind of what happened to me with the Galaxy Z Fold 4. And like a kid with their first crush, it’s hard to describe why I’m so drawn to it, especially since it’s so similar to last year’s Fold 3 (which I liked, but wasn’t crazy about).

    Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4

    The price is too high

    It’s still a bit chunky

    Lack of S Pen storage or a magnetic side to attach it

    There are still lots of apps that don’t support the Fold 4’s screen ratio

    Part of my infatuation with the Fold 4 comes from its dozens of small refinements compared to the Fold 3. The hinge is a little thinner. The phone is slightly lighter. The bezels on the cover screen are just a tad smaller. The body is a little wider, making it more enjoyable to use when closed. Everything about the Fold 4 feels more tailored, including the software. Samsung made multitasking on the Fold 4 approachable and easy.

    In fact, after two weeks of using a review unit on loan from Samsung, the Fold 4 is my favorite Android tablet. It showcases Samsung’s engineering and software improvements and is an impressive reminder that we are still at the dawn of foldable phones.

    But then there’s that $1,800 price tag. I could buy a Galaxy S22 Ultra and an iPad Mini for the same price. Yet, that’s not a fair comparison because neither of those devices can fold open or closed. And remember, $1,800 is the starting price. A 1TB Fold 4 will set you back over $2,000.

    If you are tempted by the Fold 4, know that there are many to make less of a dent on your wallet.

    Galaxy Z Flip 4.

    The Fold 4 is 3 millimeters wider than last year’s Fold 3, which makes it feel less awkward and cumbersome when it’s closed in phone mode. However, the cover screen’s keyboard is still a little cramped for my hands.

    The numerous minor changes to the Fold’s width and thickness really pay off.

    The Fold 4 is all about Android 12L and Flex Mode
    Samsung packed the new Fold with features that range from significant updates, like the taskbar-turned-dock (which I genuinely enjoy using), to ones that are more, “Oh, that’s kind of fun, but will I use that?” The new cursor and trackpad available in Flex mode falls under that second category.

    The Fold 4 runs on Android 12L, which is optimized for large screens and foldables. Samsung’s lovely tweaks to One UI (its window dressing for Android) really make you feel like you’re using something special without compromising on features and capabilities you’d expect from a phone that doesn’t fold in half.

    The hinge allows it to be positioned in a variety of ways.

    Richard Peterson/CNET

    The dock at the bottom of the screen makes getting in and out of multitasking apps easy. Just drag one app on top of the other, and that’s it. That ease of use is just another reason the Fold 4 is so appealing to me. Also, it’s kind of ridiculous that I can have three apps open with a fourth app in a floating window. Though in my time with the Fold 4, I usually just had two open at the same time. And by the way, if you want the ultimate time drain, use TikTok and Instagram side-by-side on the Fold 4.

    One of my favorite things to do on the Fold 4 is watch videos. (That might partially be because I caught COVID while reviewing the phone and could do little else besides watch shows like The Sandman and The Rehearsal.) A feature I truly dig is that if I’m watching a video and close the Fold, playback picks up instantly on the 6.2-inch cover screen and vice versa. By the way, videos and games on the cover screen look fantastic even with the slim aspect ratio.

    Read more: Galaxy Z Flip 4 and Z Fold 4 Unboxing: Here’s What’s in the Box

    Then there’s Flex Mode, which moves the app you’re using to the top of the screen while displaying the controls at the bottom when the phone is positioned half-open. For example, the YouTube app shows videos on the top half of the screen while the bottom half is for scrolling through comments or the description.

    Samsung even fixed its own Gallery app so now when you edit a photo in Flex Mode, the picture stays on the top half with the edit tools and interface on the bottom. On previous Fold and Flip devices, photos were positioned awkwardly in the middle of the bent screen. 

    When the Fold 4 is opened up as a tablet, its size and aspect ratio make it a joy to use.

    Kevin Heinz/CNET

    A new addition to Flex Mode is the ability to use the bottom of the screen as a mini trackpad with a cursor on the top. I can’t say I found a lot of use with that setup, but I love that Samsung is embracing the Fold’s unique shape. More of this please! The Fold 4 also supports the S Pen, as did the Fold 3. It’s fun to use, though I wish it could magnetically attach to the side of the Fold like the Apple Pencil does on the iPad.

    Some features are on by default, but others are buried in Settings (most under something called Labs, which feels like a beta purgatory for software features). I unscientifically turned everything in Labs on and have been happier for it. But know that not all apps are optimized for the Fold 4. For example, Instagram awkwardly floats in the middle of the screen with arrows on either side to align it on the left or right.

    The cameras on the back are similar to the ones found on the Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus.

    James Martin/CNET

    The Z Fold 4 has five cameras
    On the back cover there are three cameras: a main camera with a wide angle lens, another one with an ultrawide lens and a third with a 3x telephoto lens. There’s a selfie camera on the cover screen and an under-display camera behind the main screen.

    The under-display camera is probably the one I used the least, which is likely why Samsung felt good about putting it behind the display. The under-display camera isn’t invisible like a two-way mirror. But it’s less distracting than a hole-punch cut out or notch. I used the under-display camera a couple of times for video chats, and no one on these calls noticed anything out of the ordinary. However, the image looked flat and heavily processed.

    The main and telephoto cameras on the back are similar to the ones on the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Plus. Photos look good and are sharp with punchy colors and contrast. Night mode was also pretty good. These cameras are definitely a step up from the ones on the Fold 3, but they still lag behind the camera systems on the Galaxy S22 Ultra, Pixel 6 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro in terms of image quality and versatility.

    The colors and contrast pop in this photo of downtown San Francisco.

    Patrick Holland/CNET

    It’s impressive how much detail the Fold 4 was able to capture. Notice the ornamentation on the building.

    Patrick Holland/CNET

    While Samsung phones are known for oversaturating colors, the theater was actually that red.

    Patrick Holland/CNET

    This photo was taken with the Fold’s night mode.

    Patrick Holland/CNET

    The only times I noticed the Fold 4’s camera struggle was under low or mixed lighting, and in direct sunlight, which yields lots of lens flares. If this wasn’t a folding phone, this would be unacceptable for a phone that costs nearly $2,000.

    The best part of the Fold 4’s cameras actually has little to do with the lenses and sensors. Rather, it’s the phone’s design. This phone is its own tripod. You can put it in all sorts of places or position the camera at different angles. One of the coolest features is the ability to use the rear cameras for selfies, or share a preview of the camera’s viewfinder with your subject.

    Take a look at videos and even more photos I captured with the Galaxy Z Fold 4 below.

    The Fold 4’s performance is fast and buttery-smooth
    The Fold 4 has the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chip, the fastest (and newest) processor in any Samsung phone. It’s the same processor we see in gaming phones and the 2022 Razr, the newest foldable phone from Motorola. And speaking of gaming, the Fold 4 is the perfect size for mobile gaming. The main screen makes gaming feel immersive. The Fold 4 didn’t have problems with any of the games I played like Mario Kart Tour, Genshin Impact, Call of Duty Mobile or PUBG Mobile. The Fold 4’s great gaming experience is an unexpected delight that also adds to its appeal.

    The speedy processor and high refresh rate screen weren’t just good for games. Animations look incredibly smooth. In benchmark tests, the Fold 4 scored higher than the Fold 3 and S22 Ultra, another sign that its new processor brings a slight speed boost.

    The Galaxy Z Fold 4’s battery is the same size as the Fold 3’s, which was just OK. I was hopeful that the combination of Android 12L and the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor would mean more battery life. To an extent I did experience longer battery life, but not by much.

    The Fold 4 made it through most days on a single charge. But I found myself topping it off at around 8 p.m. or 9 p.m. I also ran a test where over three-quarters of an hour I watched YouTube videos, scrolled through my TikTok feed, played Mario Kart and FIFA Mobile and took a 5-minute Zoom video call. The battery went from 100% to 82% in those 45 minutes.

    Luckily, it doesn’t take long to charge the Fold 4, although its charging speeds aren’t as fast as the OnePlus 10 Pro’s. After charging the Fold 4 for 30 minutes, the battery went from 20% to 73%. Remember, the Fold 4 doesn’t come with a wall charger.

    The Galaxy Z Fold 3 (left) and Galaxy Z Fold 4 look nearly identical.

    Kevin Heinz/CNET

    Fold 4 vs. Fold 3 vs. Fold 2
    The Galaxy Z Fold 4 adds all of the nuance and refinement that the Fold 3 needed. But if you have a Fold 3, there’s no need to upgrade to the 4.

    If you have a Fold 2, it might be worth upgrading, especially if you can score a sweet trade-in deal. You get a faster processor, a more robust build, waterproofing (though the Fold 4 still lacks dust resistance), S Pen support and superior cameras.

    The Fold 4 clearly isn’t priced for mass appeal but it is identical to what the Fold 3 costs. I do think it’s a fair price for what you get in 2022, which is a premium phone made with parts that are unique, cutting-edge and expensive. But so is a Ferrari SF90 Spider, and that costs over half a million dollars. Despite my crush, I won’t be buying the Fold 4 or a Ferrari anytime soon. And we are still years away from a foldable phone being affordable to most people.

    As for me, I hope my infatuation with the Fold 4 lasts. Only time will tell.

    Finished with season 4 of Stranger Things? Done with Marvel and ? Maybe you should check out Dark. For my money it’s the best show currently streaming on Netflix.

    A mind-bending show that deftly combines internal family drama with time travel, Dark is the rarest of things: a show without a single dip in quality. All three seasons rule in every way imaginable.

    The Stranger Things comparison makes sense, but Dark is a very different show.

    Netflix

    Dark, at its core, is a mystery series. Much like Stranger Things — the show it’s most frequently compared to — Dark’s first season focuses almost exclusively on the search for a missing child. But in this show the child hasn’t escaped to a parallel universe, but a different time 30 years in the past. Before long Dark is a show that operates across multiple time zones and dimensions. 

    Dark has everything. It does complex, interweaving plot twists on a level that makes Westworld look like a pretend-clever show for children. It earns these twists by also being a delicately written study of broken familial interrelationships and small-town claustrophobia. 

    It’s a show that juggles the risks that come with time travel narratives with ease. Dark’s plot is complex to the point where I make a sport of waiting for it to completely fall apart. I spent three whole seasons waiting for Dark to drop the ball and collapse beneath its own weight, but it didn’t. 

    This TV show is a miracle. 

    Netflix: Watch Dark

    See at Netflix

    Probably the worst thing you could say about Dark is that it’s pretentious. Unlike other time travel shows like, say, Outlander — which revels in camp and sort of begs you to watch ironically — Dark takes itself completely seriously. It’s almost unrelenting. 

    Dark asks you to sincerely care about what’s happening on-screen. It infuses its plot with multiple explicit references to Ariadne and the Bible. In most science fiction this would be enough to make my eyes detach from their socket and roll all the way backward into my brain, but Dark earns its delusions of grandeur by actually being good enough to sustain them.

    The depths of your iPhone are almost endless. No matter how long you’ve had it, there’s always something to learn that improves your life a little bit.

    Want to declutter your home screen? Use your battery a little less throughout the day? Although some of the settings in iOS are straightforward, others are hidden deep with your iPhone, so you need to know where to look.

    Tweaking these 22 iOS settings can optimize your iPhone performance, make it more accessible or customize it to your lifestyle, among other possibilities you may never have expected. That secret button? It’s number 2.

    And if you want to take a sneak peek into the future, check out what Apple has planned for iOS 16 in the fall, including all the new major features that will be available on iOS 16 and which devices will be compatible with iOS 16. You can also get your hands on a beta version of iOS 16 right now.

    Nelson Aguilar/CNET

    2. Turn the back of your iPhone into a button
    The back of your iPhone can be used as a secret button to activate certain actions, like take a screenshot or enable low power mode, and run shortcuts that can automatically play music when you arrive at the gym or turn on your smart lights when you get home. However, the option is hidden deep in your settings — here’s how to find it.

    In the Settings app, go to Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap and choose one of the two tapping options (double or triple tap). You should see a list of actions you can run by tapping the back of your iPhone, like opening your camera, turning on the flashlight, scrolling up and down and more. Tap on on action or shortcut to set it for double or triple tap.

    Tap on the back of your phone to do all kinds of fancy tricks.

    3. Bring back full-screen incoming call alerts

    If your iPhone is unlocked and you receive a phone call, a banner-style notification will appear at the top of your screen, with a photo and name of the person calling, and the options to pick up or deny the call. But this banner wasn’t always there.

    Before iOS 14, the incoming call screen would take over your entire display when your iPhone was unlocked and in use. It was disruptive, sure, but it also got the job done. 

    When the banner appeared, it was a welcome change for many, because it’s more discreet and allows you to still use your phone while receiving a call. However, if for any reason you’re not a big fan of the banner and want to revert to the more attention-grabbing full-screen alert, go to Settings > Phone > Incoming Calls and tap Full Screen.

    This incoming call alert isn’t ideal for everyone. 

    Jason Cipriani/CNET

    4. Turn off 5G coverage you don’t want or have

    Apple touts a Smart Data feature that’s specific to its 5G phones (iPhone 12 and iPhone 13) that will automatically switch between 4G LTE and 5G networks based on how you’re using your device. 

    However, you may find that your iPhone’s battery drains faster than it did before. If you don’t want to sacrifice battery life for faster 5G speeds, shut it down. You can always turn 5G back on when you want it, or when service in your area improves.

    To turn off 5G on your iPhone 12 or iPhone 13, forcing it to always use 4G LTE even if you have 5G coverage, open the Settings app, then go to Cellular > Cellular Data Options > Voice & Data and tap LTE.

    Alternatively, if you want your iPhone to exclusively use a 5G connection when available, you can select 5G On.

    5G is nice, if you have access, but it can also be a battery hog. 

    Patrick Holland/CNET

    5. Fine-tune how much data is used by a 5G connection
    If you’re happy with your 5G performance, here’s a network-related setting you should check out. Go to Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Options > Data Mode, where you’ll find three different options: Allow more data on 5G, Standard and Low Data Mode.

    Even though there are brief descriptions below the three different settings, they don’t paint a complete picture for the first option. According to an Apple support document, allowing more data on 5G will give you high-quality video and FaceTime calls. It also enables your phone to download software updates and stream high-definition Apple TV and Apple Music content, and it allows third-party developers to also improve their respective apps.

    The default setting on this page will depend on your carrier and your data plan, so it’s a good idea to check your iPhone and make sure it’s correctly set to your preference.

    6. Stop apps from cluttering up your home screen
    The App Library is a place where you can quickly find and access all of your applications. And while apps are housed here, all newly downloaded apps also appear on your home screen. This may not be a problem if you download apps sparingly, but if you’re installing new apps on a consistent basis, they can quickly clutter up your home screen.

    To stop downloaded apps from appearing on your home screen, go to Settings > Home Screen and select App Library Only. If you want to find the app, you’ll have to swipe left on your home screen until you reach the App Library.

    This setting will prevent your home screen from getting too messy.

    7. Unlock your phone while wearing a face mask
    One of the frustrating aspects of wearing a face covering has been the inability to unlock an iPhone with Apple’s Face ID technology. Because half of your face is covered, Face ID just doesn’t work. And while entering your passcode to unlock your phone works, it’s not as convenient. 

    With iOS 15.4, you now have the option to turn on a face unlock feature that makes it easy to unlock your iPhone when you’re wearing a face mask. Before the update, you could only unlock your iPhone if you owned an Apple Watch. 

    To unlock your iPhone with your Apple Watch, open the Settings app on your iPhone and then open the Face ID & Passcode option. Scroll down until you find the Unlock with Apple Watch section (you must be connected to an Apple Watch for the setting to appear), where you can turn on the feature for any watches linked to your iPhone. 

    If you have an iPhone 12 or iPhone 13 that runs iOS 15.4 or later, you can unlock your iPhone while wearing a mask without an Apple Watch. Go to the Settings app and open Face ID & Passcode. From there, you can toggle Face ID With a Mask and choose the Face ID With a Mask option. It’s pretty awesome. 

    You can unlock your iPhone with your Apple Watch if Face ID isn’t working.

    8. Put the address bar in Safari back on top
    The address in Safari migrated to the bottom of the screen with the introduction of iOS 15 — a welcome addition for those with smaller hands who had difficulty reaching it with one hand at the top. While this move might feel more natural, since it’s closer to the keyboard and where you typically place your thumbs, it can be off-putting since many people are used to seeing the URL bar near the top of the screen.

    If you want to put the address bar back at the top of the screen, go to Settings, tap Safari and choose the Single Tab option under the Tabs subheading. 

    9. Add features that can be used when your iPhone is locked
    There are times when you might want to have certain info handy even when your phone is locked. That’s why Apple allows you to enable some features without having to unlock your device, such as the notification center, Control Center, the ability to reply to messages and the Wallet app.

    To customize the features you’d like to access on the lock screen, launch the Settings menu, tap Face ID & Passcode and enter your passcode when prompted. Scroll down until you see the Allow Access When Locked section, and toggle the sliders based on your preferences. 

    You can decide which features you want to access when your phone is locked.

    10. Make your favorite email app or web browser your default
    It was a long time coming, but 2020’s iOS 14 update finally brought the ability to choose your own default apps — at least for email and web browsing. That means that when you tap a link or an email send button, your iPhone will automatically launch the web browser or email provider of your choosing rather than Safari or Mail. 

    To get started, open the Settings menu and select the app you’d like to set as a default (such as Google Chrome or Outlook). You should then see a button that says Default Mail App or Default Browser App. Tap that option and select the app of your choosing instead of Safari or Mail. 

    You no longer have to use Safari or Mail as default apps.

    11. Get full notifications on your lock screen
    The first time you experience Apple’s Face ID tech, you’ll notice that you can’t see the content of new alerts and notifications on the lock screen. For example, instead of seeing who sent you a text message and what it says, you’ll only see a generic Messages alert.

    By default, all iPhones with Apple’s Face ID tech will hide the content of an alert until you pick up your phone and unlock it. It’s a privacy feature that I rather enjoy, but I also understand how it could be annoying (I’ve heard a few complaints from readers and family members alike).

    You can change how notifications appear on your lock screen by going to Settings > Notifications > Show Previews and selecting Always. Conversely, you can select Never if you want to keep the content of your notifications always hidden from the lock screen.

    12. Turn off (or on) HDR video for sharing videos
    Phones in the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 lineups can record high dynamic range (HDR) video with Dolby Vision. That means your videos will be brighter with more accurate colors and improved contrast. Sounds awesome, right? It is. But there’s a problem — not every app or service will work with HDR video. 

    Developers will need to update their apps in order to accept HDR video, but even then, the person viewing the video will need a capable device to see the difference in quality. For Apple devices, those include the iPhone 8 or newer, the 2020 iPad Air, the second-generation iPad Pro and some Macs. 

    So, what can you do to share videos universally? Well, you have a few options: 

    You can turn off HDR video by going to Settings > Camera > Record video and turning the switch next to HDR Video to the Off position. Going forward, all videos will be captured in standard dynamic range, and you shouldn’t have any issues sharing or editing it.

    Leave HDR Video turned on, but when you want to share the video, with Facebook for example, use the Photos app instead of going into the Facebook app and uploading it. When you use the Photos app, your iPhone will automatically convert the video to SDR and upload it. When you send the video to another iPhone user, Apple will detect if their iPhone, iPad or Mac is compatible with HDR Dolby Vision. If it’s not, Apple will convert the video automatically.

    If you leave HDR Video on and need to edit your video, you can use Apple’s iMovie app or the Photos app that’s built into your iPhone. You can even use iMovie to export the video as SDR if needed. 

    HDR video looks great, but it doesn’t work everywhere yet.

    13. Customize your home screen with fancy wallpaper

    Another home screen tweak you should make involves your wallpaper or background. Apple has added some new wallpapers of its own, with a pretty cool twist. 

    Open the Settings app on your iPhone and select Wallpaper from the list. Make sure the switch labeled “Dark Appearance Dims Wallpaper,” which you’ll see below the two thumbnail previews of your wallpaper, is turned on. Now, tap Choose a new wallpaper and select either Stills or Live. See the circle near the bottom of each wallpaper? It’s half black, half white. 

    That circle means that the wallpaper has both light and dark mode versions and will change automatically based on the system status of your phone. 

    You can also set live wallpapers as your background if you’re not sold on dark and light mode.

    On an iPhone with 3D Touch, you can use a third-party app to play longer-duration “Live” photos on your lock screen.

    Patrick Holland/CNET

    14. Turn on dark mode to save your battery
    Speaking of dark mode, if you don’t want to have to repeatedly adjust your screen’s brightness, you can use your phone’s dedicated dark mode. Dark mode converts all of the white backgrounds in apps to, more often than not, a black background. In turn, your phone is able to save battery power thanks to the darker colors. 

    Turn it on by going to Settings > Display & Brightness and selecting the Dark option at the top of the screen. 

    Apple’s apps will automatically switch to a dark color scheme, and most third-party apps have also adopted the feature. 

    Dark Mode on the iPhone sure looks good.

    15. Manage your notifications with Focus Mode
    We get a lot of notifications every day, but not all of them are relevant all the time. With iOS 15, Apple introduced a feature called Focus Mode. Think of it as a custom Do Not Disturb feature that’s tailored to specific circumstances. 

    Focus Mode blocks less relevant alerts, while allowing notifications from important people and apps to come through so that you don’t miss anything. You can set up different types of Focus Modes for specific circumstances. 

    Apple currently offers options for Do Not Disturb, personal, sleep, work, driving, fitness, gaming, mindfulness and reading, but you can also create your own custom mode. You can schedule Focus Modes so that they turn on automatically when needed, and display your status in apps so that others know you have notifications silenced. 

    To get started, open the Settings menu, tap Focus and choose one of the available options to set up your notification preferences. Tap the plus (+) symbol in the top right corner to add a new Focus. 

    16. Make your screen text bigger or smaller
    With a couple of taps on your iPhone’s screen, you can adjust the font size to make it easier to read. Open Settings and go to Display & Brightness > Text Size where you can use the slider until you’re happy with the font size. 

    For a little added oomph, you can turn on Bold Text (it’s just below the Text Size button). 

    17. Add an alternate appearance to Face ID
    Apple’s facial recognition feature — Face ID — constantly learns different aspects of your face with each scan. If you’re struggling to get Face ID to consistently recognize you, try the Alternate Appearance option. 

    Go to Settings > Face ID & Passcode > enter your PIN > Set Up An Alternate Appearance and go through the process of enrolling your face again. 

    Face ID doesn’t always get it right.

    18. Disable auto brightness for longer battery charge
    Your iPhone’s screen brightness level can have a big impact on battery life. By default, iOS will automatically adjust the display’s brightness based on how much light its ambient sensor detects. But if you want to take complete control, you can disable auto-brightness, meaning the brightness level will stay where you set it until you adjust it again. 

    Open Settings > Accessibility > Display & Text Size and at the bottom of the page, you’ll find a switch to turn off Auto-Brightness. 

    Now, whenever you want to adjust your screen, you can do so by opening Control Center with a swipe up from the bottom of the screen on a device with a home button, or a swipe down from the top-right corner on newer iPhones. 

    Keep your screen dim to save battery life.

    19. Triage your privacy settings
    The first time you set up an iPhone with all of your apps, you’re bombarded with prompts asking for permissions to access personal information ranging from tracking your location to your Apple Health information or your camera roll. 

    It’s far too easy to get in the habit of approving everything just so you can use the app, but take a few minutes and go through your privacy settings to tailor what each app can and can’t see. We walk you through the whole privacy process in two quick steps. 

    Apple has put all of its privacy controls in one place.

    20. Use Control Center to access apps with a swipe or tap
    The iPhone’s Control Center is a convenient spot to quickly change songs, turn on airplane mode, connect to Wi-Fi or start a timer, but there’s so much more to it than that. You can quickly turn your flashlight on, check on a timer or start recording your screen with a quick swipe and tap. 

    Customize which apps and features are available in Control Center by opening Settings > Control Center. Remove an option with a tap on the red minus button or add an option by selecting the green addition button. Drag features up or down using the three-line icon on the right side of the screen. 

    Personally, I like having quick access to the Wallet app and toggles for low-power mode and dark mode. 

    As a reminder, if you have an iPhone with a home button, like the iPhone SE, you can swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open Control Center. If you have an iPhone with Face ID, you’ll need to swipe down from the top-right corner of the screen where the battery icon is. 

    Control Center has a lot of potential; you just need to customize it.

    21. Organize alerts with Notification Summary
    Apple wants to help you manage your notifications in iOS 15, starting with the Notification Summary feature. Rather than letting notifications pile up on your home screen, you can schedule alerts that aren’t urgent to arrive in a bundle at a specific time of day. 

    Important notifications like calls, direct messages and other time-sensitive alerts (like the status of your Uber or Lyft ride, for example) will still appear immediately.

    To try this out, open Settings, press Notifications and tap Scheduled Summary. 

    22. Change Siri’s voice
    If you’ve recently set up a new iPhone, you may have noticed that Siri no longer defaults to a female voice. Instead, you’ll be asked which Siri voice you want to use, including several more recent options. Once you’ve made your selection, Apple will change Siri’s voice across all of the devices linked to your Apple ID.

    You can check out the voice options by going to Settings > Siri & Search > Siri Voice. To learn more, check out our complete guide to changing Siri’s sound. 

    Apple also added a gender-neutral Siri voice option for English speakers in iOS 15.4. 

    For more, here’s how to set up your new iPhone and how to transfer your data from your old iPhone. Plus, this iOS 15 trick gives you more iCloud storage for free.

    This story is part of Focal Point iPhone 2022, CNET’s collection of news, tips and advice around Apple’s most popular product.

    When Apple executives show off the iPhone 14 in California next week, as is widely expected, you probably won’t notice many changes to the phone. Rumors suggest the notch where the selfie camera sits may be smaller, and Apple will likely tout camera improvements or newly introduced always-on screen technology. But the feature the company will be betting on most to attract customers will be the one introduced two years ago: 5G wireless.

    Sure, for some people, 5G is yesterday’s news. For others, it’s just a bigger number than 4G that came before. But increasingly, data is piling up that indicates 5G wireless is becoming nearly as important in today’s iPhones as battery life and storage, the two features people watch out most for when buying their phones. The current wireless standard, which has been available for several years now from all of the major US carriers, is also the second-most cited reason people told researchers at the consultancy Deloitte that they’d switched mobile providers, behind “better value for the money.”

    This is a far cry from how 5G was perceived at launch and in the early years, when the service switched on with lots of fanfare but little actual coverage. But the carriers have poured billions of dollars into the infrastructure and airwaves to support it, which has resulted in better service in many places. 

    the iPhone 12 in 2020. “5G has been an accelerant,” he said in July when discussing future prospects for his company’s handset, despite rising inflation and a looming recession. “I think there’s reason to be optimistic.”

    Every year seems to be , and that’ll continue with good reason this year too. The iPhone is the company’s singular most important product by nearly any measure. Apple rang up more than $191.97 billion in iPhone sales last year, which was more than half of its overall revenue. Much of the iPhone’s technology has seeped into the rest of its business as well, with related products like the Apple Watch, AirPods headphones and iPad tablet becoming multibillion dollar businesses unto themselves. 

    It’s also helped to push Apple’s value to more than $2.5 trillion, up from the $60.7 billion Wall Street valued the company at just before the device was . Now, Apple is the most valued company on the planet, followed by oil giant Saudi Aramco, Microsoft, Alphabet (Google), Amazon and electric car maker Tesla.

    The big picture

    The economy’s become a key issue for many people since inflation began its rapid rise last year.

    James Martin/CNET

    This year, though, the iPhone’s success won’t just be a measure of sales that add to Apple’s profits. It’ll also be a bellwether for the larger economy, giving some sense of whether people are willing to spend at a time when our collective confidence in the economy has fallen to its lowest point in decades. Businesses large and small have slowed new hiring or begun to lay off staff, as Snap, the smaller social networking competitor to Facebook, .

    Yet 5G, as yawn-worthy as it is within the tech industry, may be Apple’s key to success navigating the souring economy we all seem to be facing. Wedbush Securities estimates about 240 million of the 1 billion iPhones being used worldwide haven’t been upgraded in the past three-and-a-half years and thus aren’t running on 5G networks.

    Those owners of older iPhones will likely upgrade at some point, particularly as wireless carriers pack on perks like free subscription movie and TV services to entice people to upgrade. “The stickiness of the iPhone upgrade cycle is still being underestimated,” Wedbush analysts wrote in a message to investors earlier this summer. “This continues to remain Apple’s unique advantage over other technology stalwarts.”

    Dream a little 5G dream

    Though 5G wireless networks were available before Apple introduced its first 5G-capable iPhone in 2020, many people saw it as one of the most important launches for the service.

    Apple

    An odd aspect of the 5G upgrade cycle may be that while people are buying in — as in, they don’t want to buy new non-5G phones — 73% of respondents to Deloitte’s surveys said they wanted a “better understanding” of what 5G offers, and 30% said they’re disappointed by “a perceived lack of innovative apps and services that leverage 5G.”

    When carriers began promoting 5G several years ago, they talked of next-generation wireless technology that could usher in a new sci-fi-device-laden future. The promise of 5G showed up everywhere, from self-driving cars to remote medical care to smart cities.

    So far, 5G has largely delivered on its promises of higher speed and increased reliability, but that’s about it.

    Carriers, meanwhile, have convinced people 5G is necessary in part by turning off older 3G service, effectively pushing some people to upgrade and indirectly putting 4G users on notice that they, eventually, will be next.

    Now, with economic uncertainty on the horizon, people are having to think more carefully about device purchases they may not upgrade again for several years.

    “If you’re going to buy a smartphone, you’re going to buy the best you can at a certain price point,” Maribel Lopez, longtime industry watcher and head of Lopez Research. “People have to make serious choices when they’re looking at 30% increases in food costs and doubled gasoline prices.”

    “No one, unless you need a value phone, would buy a 4G phone today,” she added.

    iOS 16 software update, like a new “widgets” to add info to the lock screen, undo-send in Mail and heightened security. 

    They’re also rumored to be polishing new features like the always-on display, which would allow iPhones to show limited information on the screen even when it’d be typically turned off, and emergency satellite texting, which could come in handy if you’re stranded on a desert highway or in the middle of the ocean.

    For some people, that all may seem like unnecessary features just to have something new on the box this year. But Creative Strategies analyst Carolina Milanesi said Apple has to be careful to introduce features that matter to early-first adopters and premium purchasers, who are “critical to the brand perception.”

    “You can’t leave that high-end user feeling left out or forgotten,” she said. And for everyone else, she’s expecting carriers to to convince people that the real big changes will be to the value they get out of the phone. 

  372. Just days after Evan Bass’ ex-wife Marie Bass claimed Evan and estranged wife Carly Waddell split two years ago, Waddell clarified things.

    The 35-year-old, who met and got engaged to Bass on Season 3 of Bachelor in Paradise, shared a new video on her

    While the bulk of the video was dedicated to giving a tour of her home that she’s rebuilding, she also revealed that they split the day after Thanksgiving.

    They share two kids together, Isabella ‘Bella’ Evelyn, born in February 2018, and Charles “Charlie” Wolfe,  born in November 2019.

    ‘I call this the divorce room because this is where Evan told me he wanted a divorce,’ Waddell said, adding that she was ‘sitting right where I’m sitting’ when he told her, also clearing up rumors that she left him.

    She added that she wanted to sage the room, so every time she walks into this room she doesn’t, ‘feel that energy.’

    Waddell added that the past two years have been ‘really hard,’ and while they kept trying to figure it out, she made it clear that if he wanted out, he had to make the move. 

    ‘I always told him, if he wanted out it was his call because I just am not a person that would ever be out. So, what are you gonna do? If somebody doesn’t wanna be with you, they don’t wanna be with you and you sage, so that’s what we’re doing,’ she said.

  373. Nugget, Honey, and Beans may sound like options at a breakfast buffet, but they’re actually the names of Melbourne Aquarium’s new king penguin chicks.

    It’s been a record-breaking breeding season for the aquarium, with six new chicks born over the past few months.

    Little Nugget, Honey, and Beans are joined by Flamingo and two other unnamed chicks.

    The aquarium’s assistant penguin keeper Emily Thornton said this year’s successful breeding program reflected the good pairing behaviour between the adult penguins.

    The six new chicks are being cared for by some of the aquarium’s older king penguins in a specially designed penguin ‘nursery’.

    But it’s not just the biological parents in charge, with same-sex couple Jack and EJ, single foster dad Donnie, and single foster mum Nancy also taking over primary care roles.

    “We have a loving colony of penguins who are always willing to step up and play foster parent for any eggs that need it,” Ms Thornton said.

    During the three-month breeding season, king penguins usually lay one egg and incubate it for 55 days before it hatches.

    When the chicks are about 10 months old, they will fledge their downy brown feathers and begin to resemble their parents with, bright yellow and orange flashes in their colouring.

    The Melbourne Aquarium welcomed only one new king penguin chick in 2021.

    King penguins are among some of the largest penguins in the world, second only in size to the emperor penguin.

  376. A Northern Territory council could be fined more than $7 million after a worker almost drowned when an amphibious weed harvester fitted with a crocodile cage capsized.

    The man was operating the vessel to remove weeds from a lake in the City of Palmerston, 20km south of Darwin, when it rolled, trapping the operator underwater in February 2020.

    He escaped from the capsized craft but suffered injuries during the incident.

    NT WorkSafe alleges the council modified the craft by installing a crocodile cage without consulting the manufacturer on how it would affect the craft’s stability and safety during operation.

    The City of Palmerston is facing nine breaches of the NT’s work health and safety laws, including failing its primary duty of care to the worker and improper management and control of fittings, fixtures or plant at a workplace.

    The council is also accused of failing to provide adequate training, first aid and an emergency plan.

    If found guilty of all charges, it could be fined a maximum combined penalty of $7,090,000.

    The matter is scheduled for mention in the Darwin Local Court on August 29.

  377. By Steve Keating

    NEW YORK, Sept 2 (Reuters) – A defiant Serena Williams bid an emotional good-bye to the U.S.
    Open with a third-round loss to Ajla Tomljanovic on Friday, in what may have been the last singles match of her glittering career.

    Defeat has always been hard to swallow for the fiercely competitive Williams and no doubt the 7-5 6-7 (4) 6-1 loss to the 46th ranked Australian stung her to her core.

    But after a joyous run into the third round there was no shame in a loss to the gritty Tomljanovic, allowing the 23-times Grand Slam winner to exit with dignity intact and head held high.

    Her three matches, highlighted by a second-round win over world number two Anett Kontaveit, were a gift to her fans, the relentless never-surrender attitude that made her tennis’ dominant player for over two decades on display right until the very final point.

    “Clearly I’m still capable,” Williams told reporters.

    “But it takes a lot more than that.

    “I’m ready to be a mom, explore a different version of Serena.

    “Technically in the world I’m still super young, so I want to have a little bit of a life while I’m still walking.

    “I have such a bright future ahead of me.”

    Always up for a fight, the 40-year-old came out swinging, forcing Tomljanovic to go the distance.

    The Australian needed six match points to deliver the knockout punch and bring an end to an engrossing three-plus-hour slugfest.

    Without a WTA Tour title and never before going beyond the quarter-finals of any Grand Slam, Tomljanovic has spent most her career as one of tennis’ lesser-known names.

    But now the 29-year-old will live on forever in tennis history and at sport trivia pub nights, as the answer to the question; “Who was the last player to beat Serena Williams”.

    “No one’s going to pronounce my name right,” laughed Tomljanovic. “That’s going to suck.

    “I don’t think I’ve been part of tennis history, so that’s pretty cool.”

    Williams had signalled her intention to retire in a Vogue article in early August, saying she was “evolving away from tennis” but never confirming the U.S.

    Open as her final event.

    Given the opportunity to put speculation to rest that the U.S. Open may not be the end, Williams left the door open just a crack.

    Asked whether she might be tempted to return to tennis, she responded: “I don´t think so but you never know.”

    “I always did love Australia, though,” she later told reporters, hinting at a tilt at the Australian Open in January.

    For fans, however, the message was clear, the U.S.

    Open would be where Williams would take her final bow.

    The raucous New York crowd that had backed her from the very beginning and over the years, fuelling her runs to six U.S. Open titles, was in her corner once again but could not lift her to one more win.

    “I BELONG HERE NOW”

    Tomljanovic, who is yet to win a WTA Tour tournament, appeared to have had little chance against Williams, winner of 73 career titles, but would not be intimidated.

    Before stepping out onto center court Tomljanovic paused for a moment and touched the plaque quoting Billie Jean King that hangs at the entrance: “Pressure is a Privilege”.

    “I liked the quote,” explained Tomljanovic.

    “I felt pressure, from myself, where I’m at in my career.

    “I feel like I belong here now. That’s why I expect myself to perform well in these circumstances. When I saw that, yeah, just felt right.”

    Despite an electric atmosphere the match got off to a sluggish start with the players trading breaks before settling in.

    Williams had looked to seize control when she broke Tomljanovic to go ahead 5-3 and serving for the set.

    But with Williams two points from a 1-0 lead Tomljanovic dug in, breaking back and sweeping four straight games to steal the set, leaving the stadium stunned.

    A defiant Williams, as she has done so many times, lifted her game hitting back in ruthless style in the second and breaking the Australian twice on the way to 4-0.

    Playing her fourth match in five nights, Williams suddenly seemed to run out of gas and Tomljanovic, showing some steel of her own, pulled level at 5-5 as the set moved to a tie-break.

    Everyone inside Arthur Ashe, now on their feet, knew Williams was not going to exit without a fight, and running on fumes dug into her reserves to take the tie-break 7-4.

    Williams had the crowd roaring again when she broke Tomljanovic to start the third but simply had nothing left in the tank. The Australian put the former-world number on the ropes, storming through the next four games for a 4-1 lead.

    But Williams was not going to hand Tomljanovic the win, she would have to earn it, needing six match points to get the job done.

  378. A rising female jockey who recently woke from a coma after suffering a horrific fall during a race has shared a photo of herself for the first time since the accident.

    Leah Kilner, 24, was thrown from her filly, Stella Turn, during a race in Grafton in northern NSW on July 3.

    Terrifying footage showed the horse stumble about 75m from the finish line, catapulting Kilner onto the track and into the path of the oncoming animals.

    In her first social media post since the fall, the young jockey on Friday shared a snap of her sitting in a wheelchair reunited with her pet Chihuahua Chanel.  

    ‘My baby girl came for visit,’ Kilner wrote along with the photo where she was seen cuddling her pet with an ear-to-ear smile.

    Leah Kilner (pictured) who recently woke from a coma after she fell off her horse during a race has shared a heartwarming first picture since the fall, cuddling with her dog Chanel

    The accident left Kilner in a coma with serious spinal and head injuries, where she required machines to live. She underwent surgery to ‘release the pressure on her brain’ at Brisbane’s Princess Alexandra Hospital and is now on the road to recovery

    Queensland jockey Stephanie Thornton commented, ‘So beautiful beyond proud of you’.

    Kilner’s mother Siobhan Jackson also commented, ‘Two of the best’ referring to Leah and her pup. 

    The accident left Kilner in a coma with serious spinal and head injuries, where she required machines to live.

    She underwent surgery to ‘release the pressure on her brain’ at Brisbane’s Princess Alexandra Hospital.

    The young jockey also suffered a broken collar bone and broken ribs from the accident.

    But despite the horror incident, her first thoughts after waking up were for her beloved horses.

    ‘Leah must have thought I was going to give up training because of all this, and she didn’t want me to,’ her father Gary Kilner earlier told .

    The 24-year-old was thrown from her filly, Stella Turn, and trampled during a race in Grafton in the New South Wales northern rivers region earlier this month

    The jockey has been on the mend in hospital, with doctors ‘pleased’ with her recovery

    ‘It is unbelievable how she has come through, it’s really a miracle, if you had seen her in the first couple of days it was just heartbreaking.’

    Kilner was shifted from intensive care to a hospital ward, where her father revealed her first instinct was to flick the TV onto the races after she was transferred.

    A press release from Racing NSW earlier this week said, ‘Leah continues to make steady progress and is getting lots of sleep. She is walking more with assistance.’

    She will spend the coming months in hospital where she will continue to receive treatment for her injuries. 

    Stella Turn was euthanised after the accident, while the remaining six races of the meet were postponed.

    Kilner is regarded as one of the best up-and-coming jockeys in the country, riding more than 200 winners during her short career.

    She narrowly missed out on the all-time record of 54 victories in the 2021-22 racing season after crossing the line in first place 46 times.

    A press release from Racing NSW earlier this week said, ‘Leah continues to make steady progress and is getting lots of sleep. She is walking more with assistance.’

  379. Ukraine’s hero mine-sniffing dog Patron has sent a message to Vladimir Putin that Russia will ‘not succeed in occupying us’ as he posed in his favourite outfit to mark the country’s Independence Day.

    Patron, a two-year-old Jack Russell who has been awarded a medal for valour by Ukrainian President Volodymr Zelensky, was pictured wearing a customised traditional Vyshyvanka shirt as he posed in front of Ukraine’s national flag.

    The dog’s Twitter account warned that Russia will ‘never’ occupy Ukraine again in a post to mark the 31st anniversary of the country leaving the Soviet Union and gaining independence.  

    ‘My country has been independent for 31 years.

    Again. The whole world has recognised this, and even those who now want to enslave us,’ the post read.

    ‘In the photo, I show them that they will not succeed in occupying us. Never again. Happy independence Day, my Ukraine.
    Love you.’

    Patron, who has more than 44,000 followers on Twitter and 341,000 on Instagram, found fame when Ukraine’s State Emergency Service posted a video online of their mascot working in the war-torn northern city of Chernihiv to clear explosives.

    Patron was originally bought to appear in pedigree dog shows, but has detected more than 200 deadly Russian landmines and unexploded bombs.

    In his latest Twitter post, the dog is seen sitting on a table wearing customised embroidered Ukrainian clothes known as Vyshyvanka while trying to lick the photographer.

    A Vyshyvanka is a casual name for an embroidered shirt that is part of the country’s national costume.

    Ukraine’s Independence Day falls exactly six months after Russia launched its brutal invasion that Zelensky said today has made his country feel ‘reborn’.

    Celebrations will be muted, with public gatherings banned in Kyiv where a sea of destroyed Kremlin tanks have been displayed to the public, and a curfew is in force in the front-line eastern city of Kharkiv.

    Meanwhile, Patron received a medal for valour at the presidential palace in Kyiv in May with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who was visiting, looking on.

    Patron first found fame when Ukraine’s State Emergency Service posted a video online of their mascot working in the war-torn northern city of Chernihiv

    His owner Mykhailo Iliev is a bomb disposal expert and soon after buying Patron he realised how helpful the dog could be in his work. 

    Mykhailo said: ‘This is his life, it is all he has known. It is just a matter of chance that we have such a capable dog.

    He is not a service dog, he is my pet, but he has an amazing nose and is an avid learner. He was meant to be a show dog but his destiny was to save people’s lives, not to win prizes.’

    From six months, Patron was trained to detect TNT and gunpowder.

    When he does, he stops rigid and stands with his nose down until Mykhailo and his team approach.

    But he can sometimes find his job exhausting. 

    ‘Some days he is so tired that he does not eat his evening meal.

    He comes home, has a drink of water and just crashes out,’ says Mykhailo. ‘But he always wakes up excited to go again the next day.’

    Meanwhile, Zelensky warned yesterday that Russia will use Independence Day to increase their savage attacks, with the President warning of the possibility of ‘repugnant Russian provocations’.

    And violence predictably broke out this morning as a shopping centre in Donetsk was struck by missiles, as a huge team of firefighters battled to tackle the huge blaze.

    Huge plumes of black smoke billowed from the Galaktika mall, as Russia accused Ukraine of bombarding the site in the separatist region, although it is not yet clear who carried out the attack or how many casualties there were. 

    In an emotional speech today, Zelensky said Ukrainians now believe the war will end when they secure victory rather than negotiate peace.

    He said:  ‘A new nation appeared in the world on February 24 at 4 in the morning.

    It was not born, but reborn. A nation that did not cry, scream or take fright. One that did not flee. Did not give up. And did not forget,’ he said.

  380. A nine-year-old boy was taken to hospital after he was attacked by a Staffordshire Bull Terrier while he was walking with his family in the park. 

    The schoolboy was out with his family walking their dog at Langdon Hills Recreation Ground, Basildon, Essex, on Friday when another dog approached them shortly before 7.30pm. 

    The black Staffordshire Bull Terrier type dog reportedly acted aggressively towards the family’s dog before attacking the boy when he tried to separate the animals.

    The dog, described as having long legs and no collar, was not accompanied by an. owner.  

    Essex Police are appealing for anyone who saw the attack or a dog matching the description.  

    A spokesman said: ‘We are appealing for anyone who was in the area around the time and witnessed the attack, saw a dog matching this description in the area, or knows where the dog may have come from.

    There’s been much fanfare around the . On Wednesday, the agency gave space fans a new way to experience Webb’s observations with a series of soundscapes.

    The tracks — including translations of images of the Carina Nebula and the Southern Ring Nebula — use sonification to turn imagery and data into audio experiences. “Music taps into our emotional centers,” said musician Matt Russo, a physics professor at the University of Toronto who worked on the project. “Our goal is to make Webb’s images and data understandable through sound — helping listeners create their own mental images.”  

    The “Cosmic Cliffs” of the Carina Nebula, a stunning celestial object full of stars, gas and dust, becomes a sparkling, symphonic palate of sound. The gas and dust have drone-like tones. The orange and red lower part of the image is melodic. Points of bright light are higher in tone.

    The Southern Ring Nebula takes on an eerie sound, like experimental electronic music made in a tunnel with string players tuning up. This sonification comes in two parts to represent the different infrared observations Webb made of the nebula. The bright stars make distinct noises, like plucked piano strings.

    It’s not just images the team of scientists and musicians turned into audio. Webb’s data on the atmosphere of gas giant exoplanet WASP-96 b became a sci-fi-esque soundscape filled with descending tones and an effect like dripping water. Those droplets represent water signatures in the atmosphere.

    The sonifications bring a new dimension to Webb’s discoveries, and they make the telescope’s work more accessible to blind and low-vision space enthusiasts. “When I first heard a sonification, it struck me in a visceral, emotional way that I imagine sighted people experience when they look up at the night sky,” said Christine Malec, a member of the blind and low-vision community who worked on the Webb sound project.

    The Webb audio experiences are both otherworldly and familiar. They show there are broader ways to explore the cosmos beyond what we can see with our eyes.

  382. It’s astonishing that people still pay for pedigree dogs when there are thousands of unwanted animals waiting for a loving home. 

    Adopting a rescue dog is a wondrous thing as it not only enhances your life, it utterly changes theirs too. 

    There are lots of rehoming charities around Britain, many featured on these pages, and they all have their own procedures for adoption but Dogs Trust, which has 20 rehoming centres in the UK and one in Dublin and has found dogs for stars including Graham Norton and Eamonn Holmes, is the largest. 

    Philip Daubeny, the Dogs Trust vice-chairman, with two of his rescue dogs, Penny and Daisy

    ‘Bringing a rescue dog into your home is hugely rewarding in more ways than you can imagine,’ says Philip Daubeny, the trust’s vice-chairman. 

    ‘You’re turning its life around.

    But adopting a rescue dog is not always easy. Some have had a pretty sad start to life.’ If you’re thinking of adopting, follow Philip’s step-by-step guide and you’ll soon have your own four-legged friend.

    1.
    CHOOSE THE BREED THAT WILL SUIT YOU

    Before you start looking at individual dogs, do some research into the sort of breed that might fit in best with you and your family. 

    Think about the cost too – larger dogs mean bigger food bills and long-haired breeds may need clipping.

    Remember, taking a rescue dog is not like using a dating agency – you can’t just give up on this relationship if it doesn’t work out – but the more research you do the better your match will be. There will be a lovely dog for you somewhere.

    ‘Dogs Trust will always advise people on choosing the best dog to suit their lifestyle,’ says Philip. ‘Our staff are expert at matching the right dog with the right person. Some breeds are not great with children while others are very good.
    We have lots of middle-aged dogs who, unlike puppies, are already well-trained, so they’re perfect for elderly owners. 

    You might think choosing the right dog is obvious, but we do get some bizarre requests. There’s an unfortunate fashion at the moment for people wanting huskies, but they need constant exercise and mental and physical stimulation and can’t be kept in small flats.’

    Philip has adopted three dogs himself – two greyhounds and a whippet/lurcher.

    ‘Greyhounds, on the whole, make very good pets,’ he says. 

    ‘Labradors and golden retrievers are great dogs, but they need a fair amount of exercise. An elderly Labrador would even do well in a flat as long as it has walks.’

    2.
    DON’T ACT TOO QUICKLY IF YOU FALL FOR A DOG ONLINE

    The only real stipulation Dogs Trust makes is that you meet the dog before you embark on the process. ‘The biggest problem facing people like us is the ease with which you can buy dogs from the internet,’ says Philip.

    ‘It’s something people need to be very careful about.

    It’s a huge problem and one that’s very difficult to police. They can be cheap but you may end up with astronomical vet’s bills because of the poor way the dog has been bred. We would strongly counsel against buying a dog from the internet.’

    3.
    VISIT THE RESCUE CENTRE IN PERSON

    The Dogs Trust website has details of its centres, along with profiles of some of the dogs waiting to be adopted. If a featured dog appeals to you, visit the centre where it’s homed. 

    Or you can go to your nearest centre to look at the dogs there.

    Don’t just choose the dog with the waggiest tail, it’s impossible to tell what a dog is really like until you get it home. Visit several times if necessary, take any dog that appeals to you for a walk, and take different family members to see how they interact with the dog.

    At the centre you fill in a detailed questionnaire about your family, your home and the kind of dog you would like.
    ‘Our questionnaire will find out which dog is good for you,’ says Philip. 

    ‘We take into account where you live, your available space and your lifestyle. We go into such depth because dogs like routine, and for them to change home constantly isn’t ideal.

    That’s when behavioural problems occur.’

    Once you’ve chosen your dog and the trust has checked your suitability, including your house and garden and how much time you have, the process from rehoming centre to your home takes about a week and there’s a £120 fee for costs.

    4.
    BE PREPARED TO ADAPT

    Bringing a new dog into your life will cause upheaval. When the rehoming centre come to check your property they may insist on things such as fencing your garden so the dog can’t escape.

    Be aware that a new dog may have an impact on other pets, especially cats, and children. And be prepared that shoes, phone chargers and furniture may get chewed.

    5.

    BE PATIENT, LET YOUR NEW DOG SETTLE

    As you’ll see from the heart-warming stories on these pages, your new dog needs to find its way round its new home. Some will be wary of humans, having been mistreated in the past, so give them space before you smother them with love.

    This is one reason you shouldn’t take on a timid dog just because you feel sorry for it, especially if you’re not an experienced owner. 

    ‘But it doesn’t really matter if you’ve never had a dog before,’ says Philip. ‘We have classes on looking after a new dog and even after you’ve taken your dog home you can phone our staff for help and advice.’

    6.

    MONITOR YOUR DOG’S PROGRESS

    As your dog gets used to its new surroundings, you’ll get to know what it likes and dislikes. Monitor its diet, its weight and the length of its walks (see Tips On Caring For Your New Friend, opposite), and if you have any concerns seek advice. 

    ‘Dogs Trust staff are there for anyone adopting a dog, for the whole of the dog’s life,’ assures Philip.

    ‘You can speak to experienced staff who’ll give advice on any issues. We see ourselves as an encyclopaedia people can refer to.

    ‘Every dog has medical checks and leaves us having been vaccinated, micro-chipped, neutered and treated for parasites and fleas, and with a month’s free insurance with Petplan.’

    The ‘Adopt Don’t Shop’ movement – which advocates always taking a rescue dog over buying one – has been gathering pace with the help of people like Prince Harry’s girlfriend Meghan Markle, who’s adopted two dogs, beagle Guy and Labrador/shepherd-cross Bogart, that live with her in Toronto. 

    This can only help the work of rescue centres like Dogs Trust over here, which is funded through donations and legacies.

    It launched the Canine Care Card in 2013, aimed at protecting dogs when their owner dies. 

    ‘It’s like an organ donor card in that if something happens to the owner, someone can contact us so we can rescue the dog,’ says Philip.
    ‘We’ll try to find a good home for it and we’ll never let it be put to sleep.

    ‘A rescue animal can give you a new purpose in life. It can bring people out of themselves, teach children about responsibility. It can give people living alone companionship, and if they have a dog they go out and meet people.

    A dog is a wonderful companion and that’s something that can never, ever be undervalued.’ n

    Julie Lindley and her prize winning bull mastiff Theo, one of the dogs that attacked the three little girls.

    A top breeder whose show dogs savaged three young girls was given a suspended jail sentence today.

    The girls, aged five to seven, were attacked by two bull mastiffs as they walked home from school with their mothers.

    They were ‘shaken like dolls’ and bitten all over their bodies, a court heard.

    All needed hospital treatment for their wounds and two required surgery.

    Owner Julie Lindley, 53, admitted the dogs, which had escaped from her garden, were dangerously out of control. She destroyed both dogs after the attack, Manchester Minshull Street Court heard.

    One, a two-year-old called Theo, had just been named a top UK bull mastiff and had come third at Crufts.

    Theo attacked the girls in Bolton after escaping from his pen with another dog on March 22 last year.

    Caroline Hamer told the court how the dogs bounded towards them as she walked home with her daughter, Nicola, seven, and her five-year-old friends Matilda Dawning and Charlotte Riggs.

    Alison Hayworth, prosecuting said: ‘The dogs pushed them all to the ground and Mrs Hamer quickly got up, however Nicola was still on the pavement with both dogs attacking her, biting her and shaking her like a doll.

    ‘Mrs Hamer got the dog off and tried to wedge herself between it and her daughter. A passer-by put the girl, who was covered in blood, in a car.’

    The dogs then lunged at Matilda.
    Her mother tried to lift her out of the way but one bit the girl’s leg and it became ‘a tug of war’ as both mother and child were pulled into the road.

    Lucy Riggs, the mother of Charlotte, watched in horror as the dogs grabbed her daughter’s arm and pierced her forearm.

    Motorist Darren Westhead desperately tried to stop the attack by driving into one dog. But it got up again and began snapping once more.

    When police found the dogs, Theo had blood in his mouth.

    The three mothers told the court their daughters had been ‘terrified’ and would bear the physical and psychological scars for years, if not for life.

    Lindley, from Bolton, who runs breeding company Hyerdunscar Bullmastiffs, admitted being the owner of two dogs dangerously out of control.

    Since the incident, two cages have been put into the garden and the fence has been strengthened, the court heard.

    Judge Martin Allweis said he accepted that Lindley was full of remorse but the attack had been ‘serious and sustained’ against three children.

    He sentenced her to three months in jail, suspended for 12 months, and ordered her to pay £1,000 costs.

    She now faces a civil claim for compensation.

    Finished with season 4 of Stranger Things? Done with Marvel and ? Maybe you should check out Dark. For my money it’s the best show currently streaming on Netflix.

    A mind-bending show that deftly combines internal family drama with time travel, Dark is the rarest of things: a show without a single dip in quality. All three seasons rule in every way imaginable.

    The Stranger Things comparison makes sense, but Dark is a very different show.

    Netflix

    Dark, at its core, is a mystery series. Much like Stranger Things — the show it’s most frequently compared to — Dark’s first season focuses almost exclusively on the search for a missing child. But in this show the child hasn’t escaped to a parallel universe, but a different time 30 years in the past. Before long Dark is a show that operates across multiple time zones and dimensions. 

    Dark has everything. It does complex, interweaving plot twists on a level that makes Westworld look like a pretend-clever show for children. It earns these twists by also being a delicately written study of broken familial interrelationships and small-town claustrophobia. 

    It’s a show that juggles the risks that come with time travel narratives with ease. Dark’s plot is complex to the point where I make a sport of waiting for it to completely fall apart. I spent three whole seasons waiting for Dark to drop the ball and collapse beneath its own weight, but it didn’t. 

    This TV show is a miracle. 

    Netflix: Watch Dark

    See at Netflix

    Probably the worst thing you could say about Dark is that it’s pretentious. Unlike other time travel shows like, say, Outlander — which revels in camp and sort of begs you to watch ironically — Dark takes itself completely seriously. It’s almost unrelenting. 

    Dark asks you to sincerely care about what’s happening on-screen. It infuses its plot with multiple explicit references to Ariadne and the Bible. In most science fiction this would be enough to make my eyes detach from their socket and roll all the way backward into my brain, but Dark earns its delusions of grandeur by actually being good enough to sustain them. 

  385. A common prescription drug used to treat yeast infections may increase the risk of miscarriages if taken during the early stages of pregnancy, a study has revealed.

    Over the course of 17 years, scientists examined the effects of oral versions of fluconazole on 1.4 million pregnancies in Denmark. 

    They found that women who used the drug during the first six months of their pregnancies were nearly 50 per cent more likely to suffer a miscarriage than non-users.

    Though less than 10 per cent of women in each group of the study had miscarriages, scientists urged doctors to exercise caution when prescribing the drug early in pregnancy.

    The study doesn’t provide proof of harm, but the drug has been linked with other problems when used in high doses in pregnancy. 

    A large study in Denmark found that oral versions of fluconazole – a common prescription drug used to treat yeast infections – may increase the risk of ‘spontaneous abortion’ if taken during the early stages of pregnancy

    The study authors said: ‘In this nationwide cohort in Denmark, oral fluconazole use in pregnancy was associated with a significantly increased risk of spontaneous abortion.

    ‘Until more data on the association are available, cautious prescribing of fluconazole in pregnancy may be advisable.

    ‘Although the risk of stillbirth was not significantly increased, this outcome should be investigated further.’

    Pregnant women have a heightened risk of vaginal candidiasis – known as yeast infections.

    In the US, an estimated 10 per cent of pregnant women experience a yeast infection.

    The first-line treatment for pregnant women are usually intravaginal formulations of topical azole antifungals.

    But, oral fluconazole is also often used ‘despite limited safety information’.

    Scientists from Statens Serum Institut investigated the association between oral fluconazole exposure during pregnancy and the risk of miscarriage or stillbirth between 1997 and 2013.

    Oral fluconazole-exposed pregnancies from that group were compared with up to four unexposed pregnancies.

    The pregnancies were matched on maternal age, calendar year and gestational age.

    The filled prescriptions for oral fluconazole were acquired from the National Prescription Register.

    Of 3,315 women exposed to oral fluconazole from seven through 22 weeks gestation, 147 experienced a spontaneous abortion.

    Comparatively, 563 of 13,246 of the matched women who weren’t exposed to antifungals experienced miscarriage.

    The study thus found that there was ‘a significantly increased risk’ of spontaneous abortion associated with fluconazole exposure.

    Women who were at increased risk included those on a low 150-milligram dose. 

    And, those on higher doses faced greater miscarriage risks, the study found.

    Of 5,382 women exposed to fluconazole from gestational week seven until birth, 21 experienced a stillbirth.

    Scientists found that women in Denmark who used the drug during the first six months of pregnancy were almost 50 percent more likely than nonusers to have a miscarriage

    In contrast, 77 of the 21,506 unexposed matched women had a stillbirth.

    The scientists then looked at topical azole exposure as a comparison.

    They found that 130 of 2,823 women exposed to fluconazole – as opposed to 118 of 2,2823 exposed to topical azoles – had a spontaneous abortion.

    Similarly, 20 of 4,301 women exposed to fluconazole suffered a stillbirth, compared to 22 of 4,301 exposed to topical azoles. 

    Yeast infections are common among women and occur more often in pregnancy because of hormonal changes. 

    Over-the-counter creams and suppositories, and prescription fluconazole, in pills or liquid, are among treatments. 

    Fluconazole is available in generic versions and under the brand name Diflucan, typically prescribed in a single dose. 

    Multiple high doses of fluconazole are sometimes prescribed for stubborn infections. 

    A US Food and Drug Administration safety announcement in 2011 said those higher doses in early pregnancy may be linked with certain birth defects but that a single 150 mg-dose appeared safe. 

    Research since then on possible risks from low-dose versions has had mixed results. 

    Dr Scott Sullivan, a member of the ethics committee at the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, said the new study doesn’t prove any miscarriage risk from fluconazole, ‘it just means we need more data, more studies’.

    Dr Sullivan, an associate professor at the Medical University of South Carolina, said most oral medicines are used cautiously in women during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy because of concerns about potential risks.

    Dr Sarah Branch, deputy director of Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, in the UK, who wasn’t involved in the study, said: ‘Fluconazole is an important and widely used medicine for the treatment of fungal infections, including vaginal candidiasis (thrush).

    ‘The product information accompanying fluconazole states that it should not be used during pregnancy unless clearly necessary.

    ‘In the UK, alternative antifungal agents (topical clotrimazole and miconazole) are recommended for the treatment of thrush in pregnant women.’

    Professor Kevin McConway, professor of applied statistics, at The Open University, was not involved in the study, but said in a statement that ‘the fact the authors used propensity score matching allows us to be slightly more confident that the association they found really did have something to do with fluconazole’.

    But, he added that the study only looked at matched pregnancies.

    That means the study didn’t include most of the unexposed pregnancies that were in the register.

    Professor McConway said: ‘So you can’t say that the adverse effect risk for all Danish pregnancies is the same as what it is for the pregnancies in this study.’ 

    The study was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

    Skintight: The dress featured brown piping which accentuated her toned figure 

    ‘I do OnlyFans and I feel like it’s always been stigmatised as dirty and ­disgusting, but sex is great. Sex should be fun and light and a good conversation topic. Everyone has sex, so why should it be shameful?’ she told .

    ‘It’s something everyone does in the morning. When they wake up, everyone brushes their teeth and everyone has sex. Not at the same time… well, maybe. It depends on the position! I’m very sex-positive.’

    Last year she admitted to being pansexual – and said that anyone who isn’t on board with that gets shown the door.

    ‘The people I date are very accepting of my choices, and if not, the door is that way!’

    Promoting sexual health, she added: ‘It’s so important to get tested and know the status of your sexual partners.’

    ‘Tristan is the kind of guy that would be proud to get tested. I wouldn’t get along with someone who didn’t want to promote sexual health.’

  387. A chilling video reminiscent of Black Mirror of a robot dog opening fire with a submachine gun strapped to its back – uploaded by the Russian founder of a hoverbike company – is a preview of future warfare. 

    Alexander Atamanov, the founder of a Russian hoverbike company, uploaded the viral video, which shows a UnitreeYushu dogbot that retails

    At a time when autonomous drones are being used to target terrorists and the US Army has its own sniper rifle-armed robot dog, the video is a terrifying reminder that this type weapon is already a reality.

    Scroll down for video 

    Alexander Atamanov, the founder of a Russian hoverbike company, uploaded the viral video, which shows a UnitreeYushu dogbot that retails online for about $3,000

    The robot dog, called a ‘technology dog’ by its manufacturer, appears to be carrying a Russian gun known as a PP-19 Vityaz, a type of submachine gun that’s based on the AK-47 design

    The robot dog, called a ‘technology dog’ by its manufacturer, appears to be carrying a Russian gun known as a PP-19 Vityaz, a type of submachine gun that’s based on the AK-47 design, according to Vice.

    The robot also has strips of Velcro on its sides and a Russian flag is seen on its left flank.

    There’s a lot that we don’t know about the dystopian dog’s capabilities, but we can tell that the robot dog has trouble handling the gun’s recoil: each time it fires, the bot has to re-balance itself.  

    Atamanov, who based on his social media feed seems to enjoy tooling around with military style hardware, posted a picture to his Facebook page showing what looks like the same dogbot, but this time holding a cup of coffee instead of a submachine gun. 

    Boston Dynamics, maker of its own robotic dogs, has said it won’t them to people who intend to weaponize the bots

    The Russian entrepreneur, who is based in New York City, holds bachelor’s degrees in engineering and law, a master’s degree in the management of innovation processes and calls himself a ‘pioneer and leading international expert in the field of personal aviation technology’ on his LinkedIn page. 

    Atamanov did not immediately respond to a DailyMail.com request for comment regarding the video.

    Boston Dynamics, maker of its own robotic dogs, has said it won’t them to people who intend to weaponize the bots – however, agencies like the NYPD have already used them to patrol apartment buildings, drawing criticism from civil liberties advocates. 

    However, other companies are pursuing robotic dogs with violent capabilities. 

    A robotic dog with a 6.5 mm Creedmoor sniper rifle attached to it that’s capable of hitting targets 3,940 feet away was unveiled at US Army trade show in October.

    The ‘Special Purpose Unmanned Rifle’ (SPUR) is the brainchild of Philadelphia-based Ghost Robotics and arms manufacturer SWORD International of Sparks, Nevada.

    SPUR can be remotely instructed to load, unload and fire its rifle when it’s placed on top of one of Ghost Robotics’ existing ‘quadrupedal unmanned ground vehicles.’

    The firms have yet to reveal the exact configuration of the weapon, nor how much ammunition the machine is capable of carrying or its reload rate.

    However, tests have shown that the 6.5mm rounds used in the Creedmoor rifle offer an increase in range over the 7.62x51mm cartridges currently used by US forces.

    There’s been much fanfare around the . On Wednesday, the agency gave space fans a new way to experience Webb’s observations with a series of soundscapes.

    The tracks — including translations of images of the Carina Nebula and the Southern Ring Nebula — use sonification to turn imagery and data into audio experiences. “Music taps into our emotional centers,” said musician Matt Russo, a physics professor at the University of Toronto who worked on the project. “Our goal is to make Webb’s images and data understandable through sound — helping listeners create their own mental images.”  

    The “Cosmic Cliffs” of the Carina Nebula, a stunning celestial object full of stars, gas and dust, becomes a sparkling, symphonic palate of sound. The gas and dust have drone-like tones. The orange and red lower part of the image is melodic. Points of bright light are higher in tone.

    The Southern Ring Nebula takes on an eerie sound, like experimental electronic music made in a tunnel with string players tuning up. This sonification comes in two parts to represent the different infrared observations Webb made of the nebula. The bright stars make distinct noises, like plucked piano strings.

    It’s not just images the team of scientists and musicians turned into audio. Webb’s data on the atmosphere of gas giant exoplanet WASP-96 b became a sci-fi-esque soundscape filled with descending tones and an effect like dripping water. Those droplets represent water signatures in the atmosphere.

    The sonifications bring a new dimension to Webb’s discoveries, and they make the telescope’s work more accessible to blind and low-vision space enthusiasts. “When I first heard a sonification, it struck me in a visceral, emotional way that I imagine sighted people experience when they look up at the night sky,” said Christine Malec, a member of the blind and low-vision community who worked on the Webb sound project.

    The Webb audio experiences are both otherworldly and familiar. They show there are broader ways to explore the cosmos beyond what we can see with our eyes.

    This story is part of Focal Point iPhone 2022, CNET’s collection of news, tips and advice around Apple’s most popular product.

    When Apple executives show off the iPhone 14 in California next week, as is widely expected, you probably won’t notice many changes to the phone. Rumors suggest the notch where the selfie camera sits may be smaller, and Apple will likely tout camera improvements or newly introduced always-on screen technology. But the feature the company will be betting on most to attract customers will be the one introduced two years ago: 5G wireless.

    Sure, for some people, 5G is yesterday’s news. For others, it’s just a bigger number than 4G that came before. But increasingly, data is piling up that indicates 5G wireless is becoming nearly as important in today’s iPhones as battery life and storage, the two features people watch out most for when buying their phones. The current wireless standard, which has been available for several years now from all of the major US carriers, is also the second-most cited reason people told researchers at the consultancy Deloitte that they’d switched mobile providers, behind “better value for the money.”

    This is a far cry from how 5G was perceived at launch and in the early years, when the service switched on with lots of fanfare but little actual coverage. But the carriers have poured billions of dollars into the infrastructure and airwaves to support it, which has resulted in better service in many places. 

    the iPhone 12 in 2020. “5G has been an accelerant,” he said in July when discussing future prospects for his company’s handset, despite rising inflation and a looming recession. “I think there’s reason to be optimistic.”

    Every year seems to be , and that’ll continue with good reason this year too. The iPhone is the company’s singular most important product by nearly any measure. Apple rang up more than $191.97 billion in iPhone sales last year, which was more than half of its overall revenue. Much of the iPhone’s technology has seeped into the rest of its business as well, with related products like the Apple Watch, AirPods headphones and iPad tablet becoming multibillion dollar businesses unto themselves. 

    It’s also helped to push Apple’s value to more than $2.5 trillion, up from the $60.7 billion Wall Street valued the company at just before the device was . Now, Apple is the most valued company on the planet, followed by oil giant Saudi Aramco, Microsoft, Alphabet (Google), Amazon and electric car maker Tesla.

    The big picture

    The economy’s become a key issue for many people since inflation began its rapid rise last year.

    James Martin/CNET

    This year, though, the iPhone’s success won’t just be a measure of sales that add to Apple’s profits. It’ll also be a bellwether for the larger economy, giving some sense of whether people are willing to spend at a time when our collective confidence in the economy has fallen to its lowest point in decades. Businesses large and small have slowed new hiring or begun to lay off staff, as Snap, the smaller social networking competitor to Facebook, .

    Yet 5G, as yawn-worthy as it is within the tech industry, may be Apple’s key to success navigating the souring economy we all seem to be facing. Wedbush Securities estimates about 240 million of the 1 billion iPhones being used worldwide haven’t been upgraded in the past three-and-a-half years and thus aren’t running on 5G networks.

    Those owners of older iPhones will likely upgrade at some point, particularly as wireless carriers pack on perks like free subscription movie and TV services to entice people to upgrade. “The stickiness of the iPhone upgrade cycle is still being underestimated,” Wedbush analysts wrote in a message to investors earlier this summer. “This continues to remain Apple’s unique advantage over other technology stalwarts.”

    Dream a little 5G dream

    Though 5G wireless networks were available before Apple introduced its first 5G-capable iPhone in 2020, many people saw it as one of the most important launches for the service.

    Apple

    An odd aspect of the 5G upgrade cycle may be that while people are buying in — as in, they don’t want to buy new non-5G phones — 73% of respondents to Deloitte’s surveys said they wanted a “better understanding” of what 5G offers, and 30% said they’re disappointed by “a perceived lack of innovative apps and services that leverage 5G.”

    When carriers began promoting 5G several years ago, they talked of next-generation wireless technology that could usher in a new sci-fi-device-laden future. The promise of 5G showed up everywhere, from self-driving cars to remote medical care to smart cities.

    So far, 5G has largely delivered on its promises of higher speed and increased reliability, but that’s about it.

    Carriers, meanwhile, have convinced people 5G is necessary in part by turning off older 3G service, effectively pushing some people to upgrade and indirectly putting 4G users on notice that they, eventually, will be next.

    Now, with economic uncertainty on the horizon, people are having to think more carefully about device purchases they may not upgrade again for several years.

    “If you’re going to buy a smartphone, you’re going to buy the best you can at a certain price point,” Maribel Lopez, longtime industry watcher and head of Lopez Research. “People have to make serious choices when they’re looking at 30% increases in food costs and doubled gasoline prices.”

    “No one, unless you need a value phone, would buy a 4G phone today,” she added.

    iOS 16 software update, like a new “widgets” to add info to the lock screen, undo-send in Mail and heightened security. 

    They’re also rumored to be polishing new features like the always-on display, which would allow iPhones to show limited information on the screen even when it’d be typically turned off, and emergency satellite texting, which could come in handy if you’re stranded on a desert highway or in the middle of the ocean.

    For some people, that all may seem like unnecessary features just to have something new on the box this year. But Creative Strategies analyst Carolina Milanesi said Apple has to be careful to introduce features that matter to early-first adopters and premium purchasers, who are “critical to the brand perception.”

    “You can’t leave that high-end user feeling left out or forgotten,” she said. And for everyone else, she’s expecting carriers to to convince people that the real big changes will be to the value they get out of the phone. 

  390. A heartbroken couple are searching for the owners of a dangerous dog which mauled their beloved 14-week-old puppy to death right in front of their eyes.   

    Nathan Ford, 37, and wife Catrin, 33, were taking Cockapoo Reggie on his daily walk in Swansea, South Wales, when he was savagely attacked without warning by another dog – believed to be a Staffordshire Bull Terrier or American Bulldog.

    The attacking dog, described as ‘grey/bluey’ in colour, locked his huge jaw around little Reggie’s head and did not let go for up to 30 seconds. 

    Reggie’s owners began hitting the attacking dog while desperately trying to open his mouth in a bid to free their puppy, who they had only had for five weeks. 

    After finally being released, Reggie was rushed to the vets but sadly died from his injuries. 

    The terrifying ordeal took place in the area of Llansamlet at around 10.30am.  

    The couple are now pleading for the mystery owners of the dangerous dog to place a muzzle on their pet.

    Devastated Nathan said: ‘We were crossing paths on the pavement, there was no barking, no pulling on the lead, nothing.

    Little Reggie was out for a walk in Swansea when a suspected Pitbull mauled him to death in front of his owners 

    ‘But as we passed each other the other dog grabbed onto Reggie’s face.

    As soon as he locked his jaw on there was no getting him off.

    ‘I had my hand in his mouth, I tried punching the other dog off, but he was locked onto his face for what must have been 20 or 30 seconds.

    ‘As soon as he let go I could hear Reggie struggling to breathe, as if he hadn’t been able to for the whole time.’

    A passing taxi driver told the couple to jump in the car and took them straight to a nearby vets.

    Reggie was allowed to go home from the vets but he was not responding to his owners and was later taken to a vet hospital.

    The couple were then dealt the devastating news that their pup was not going to make it.

    Devastated owner Nathan (pictured) wants to track down the owners of the attacking dog and make sure they are putting a muzzle on their dangerous pet

    Nathan added: ‘They told us that he had deteriorated badly and that he didn’t have long left. 

    ‘We went straight down and managed to get there in time to see him for the last time before he died.’

    Nathan now wants to track down the owners of the dog to stop it happening again.

    He described the couple as a man and a woman in their late 40s or 50s who were walking a Staffordshire Bull Terrier or an American Bulldog.

    The man was described as being around 5ft8 to 5ft10 and slightly overweight.  

    Nathan added: ‘I want them to know that their dog has killed another dog.

    I also don’t want it to happen again.

    ‘I’m not saying I want any further action to be taken or that I want the dog to be put down, but I would want him to have to wear a muzzle so that this kind thing can’t happen.

    ‘Reggie was such an innocent and loving puppy and he didn’t deserve this.

    I loved him so much and we miss him every day.’

    Staffordshire Terriers and American Bulldogs are considered to come under the Pitbull umbrella but are not pure pitbulls and are therefore not banned in the UK.

    Finished with season 4 of Stranger Things? Done with Marvel and ? Maybe you should check out Dark. For my money it’s the best show currently streaming on Netflix.

    A mind-bending show that deftly combines internal family drama with time travel, Dark is the rarest of things: a show without a single dip in quality. All three seasons rule in every way imaginable.

    The Stranger Things comparison makes sense, but Dark is a very different show.

    Netflix

    Dark, at its core, is a mystery series. Much like Stranger Things — the show it’s most frequently compared to — Dark’s first season focuses almost exclusively on the search for a missing child. But in this show the child hasn’t escaped to a parallel universe, but a different time 30 years in the past. Before long Dark is a show that operates across multiple time zones and dimensions. 

    Dark has everything. It does complex, interweaving plot twists on a level that makes Westworld look like a pretend-clever show for children. It earns these twists by also being a delicately written study of broken familial interrelationships and small-town claustrophobia. 

    It’s a show that juggles the risks that come with time travel narratives with ease. Dark’s plot is complex to the point where I make a sport of waiting for it to completely fall apart. I spent three whole seasons waiting for Dark to drop the ball and collapse beneath its own weight, but it didn’t. 

    This TV show is a miracle. 

    Netflix: Watch Dark

    See at Netflix

    Probably the worst thing you could say about Dark is that it’s pretentious. Unlike other time travel shows like, say, Outlander — which revels in camp and sort of begs you to watch ironically — Dark takes itself completely seriously. It’s almost unrelenting. 

    Dark asks you to sincerely care about what’s happening on-screen. It infuses its plot with multiple explicit references to Ariadne and the Bible. In most science fiction this would be enough to make my eyes detach from their socket and roll all the way backward into my brain, but Dark earns its delusions of grandeur by actually being good enough to sustain them. 

  392. ALEX BRUMMER: ECB’s cheap-as-chips loans to banks are another temporary fix
    By Alex Brummer for the Daily Mail

    It was in September that Messrs Cameron and Osborne called on the eurozone to launch a ‘big bazooka’ to save the single currency.

    Three months on, the crisis is deeper than ever with senior banker Sir Philip Hampton of Royal Bank of Scotland warning that at least one small country will drop out and that this could impact Europe’s entire banking system.

    Just how bad the shape of European banking has become is demonstrated by the European Central Bank’s end-of-year aid programme, in the shape of cheap-as-chips long-term refinancing.

    Temporary fix: The 489billion euros of assistance is only a fraction of the 2trillion euros which would be needed to sort out the problems of all the periphery

    European-wide banks’ desperation for liquidity was demonstrated by the rush to Frankfurt where demand for ECB funds reached nearly €490billon. But the guess must be that some of the more hard-pressed cases, such as Italy’s banks, may have scooped the pool.

    The ECB scheme is akin to the Bank of England’s special liquidity scheme, which allowed our most exposed banks to tender bundles of mortgage and other assets in exchange for bills – the equivalent of cash.

    ECB embarks on huge lending injection to unfreeze European credit markets

    Bank of England prepares to prop up British lenders with emergency funds in the event of eurozone meltdown

    This works like quantitative easing, in that it injects cash into the monetary system.

    Except that in the case of the ECB the finance is secured against sovereign bonds.

    The more adventurous banks could potentially turn a handsome profit on the ECB lending if they chose to borrow at 1 per cent (the agreed rate) and then invest it in high-yielding Spanish or Italian sovereign bonds.
    But this could be risky, were there eventually to be defaults on the euroland periphery.

    It might also cause problems with the European Banking Authority, which requires commercial banks to mark to market – which would mean a balance sheet hit for buying the least attractive bonds.

    Nevertheless, Mario Draghi, the new ECB chief, deserves some praise for easing his way around Germany and the Bundesbank’s strictures against anything which smells of creating new money.

    The reality is that the ECB action is another temporary fix. The reason the commercial banks are so short of money is that no one trusts them. This is because of the painfully slow process of recapitalisation.

    Had the EBA aggressively pushed for early injections of new capital and strengthening of balance sheets, on the €300billion scale recognised by the International Monetary Fund, short-term fixes would not be necessary.

    Moreover, the €489billion of assistance is only a fraction of the €2trillion which would be needed to sort out the problems of all the periphery.

    It has already been forgotten that, earlier this month, with the assistance of governor Mervyn King, central banks across the world promised to make available as much dollar liquidity as was required to keep credit markets open.

    That has not proved enough to improve fundamental confidence in the eurozone any more than the latest dollop of euro help, the useless new constitution debate and the series of fawning summits between Nicolas Sarkozy and Angela Merkel.

    It is their inexpertise in financial market matters, and obsessions about Anglo-Saxon capitalism doing them down, which means that the world will start 2012 under a dark cloud.

    No wonder many City firms have cut short Christmas leave for fear of the final explosion, or a Greek exit from the euro, while the Brits and Americans tuck into their turkey.

    Bank taxes

    As attractive an idea as it might be to tax the banks until the pips squeak, for their unadulterated greed and misjudgments, the Merkozy transactions tax is no answer for Britain.

    The Treasury has apparently run the numbers and has concluded that even if the tax raised €57billion, a number dreamed up in Brussels, Britain would likely be a net loser.

    Osborne has told the Treasury Select Committee that the levy would result in the loss of £3billion of stamp duty on share transactions as well as a loss of corporation tax receipts.

    The committee’s chairman, Andrew Tyrie, agrees, arguing that it is not just financial services which suffer but ordinary hard-pressed pension funds too. Taking resources out of the banks and restraining their greed is desirable.

    But the solution is not a regional tax which will be all but unenforceable and cause collateral damage to the City.

    Scan & scram
    The big new factor in Christmas shopping this year is what the Americans call ‘scan and scram’.

    Armies of smartphone shoppers arrive in the stores and head straight for the merchandise, scan in the barcode and are then directed to websites where the same item is cheaper.

    This year it has sometimes been Amazon, since it has tilted the scales in its favour. That must be predatory, as well as dangerous to competition, jobs and the high street.

  394. Old Trafford has grounds for optimism despite the rain, but I’ll be feeling under the weather for a bit!

    David Lloyd picks six things that stood out for him during the Old Trafford Test, including the ground passing its big test, why he’s gone cool on Hot Spot and why we might not be seeing him for a little while…

     

    OLD TRAFFORD TERRIFIC
    OK, so we’ve fallen foul of the weather, but the new Old Trafford has passed with flying colours — and provided a magnificent cricket pitch.

    Even Michael Holding was saying he wouldn’t mind rolling back the years. It had everything: pace, bounce, batsmen scoring hundreds and turn. Pity about the rain…

    Pristine: A view of the new pavilion end of the ground

    NOT SO HOTSPOT
    The dismissal of Kevin Pietersen generated yet another DRS debate.

    But let’s examine the facts. Tony Hill gave him out because he heard a noise, and third umpire Kumar Dharmasena heard it too. He had no choice but to uphold Hill’s decision. The fly in the ointment is HotSpot, which didn’t appear to show any mark. It’s time we re-examined its capabilities.

    Bemused: Hotspot showed no mark on Kevin Pietersen’s bat, yet he was given out

    ENGLAND FALL SHORT
    I thought Australia played the game beautifully.

    They did what you need to do in Manchester, which is to score runs in the first innings. The cold facts are that England didn’t: 368 was about 90 short of being in the game. I know the pitches at Trent Bridge and Lord’s were different, but England still haven’t made 400 in this series.

    Tough series: England again failed to score 400 in an innings, with skipper Alastair Cook still without a century

    LOADS MORE TRIPE
    I received another letter from Sir Norman Wrassle of the Tripe Marketing Board with some excellent news.

    It seems that since we last mentioned the TMB, shops around the country have sold more tripe than they had done over the previous 25 years. One store even doubled sales — from one 500g pack of tripe to two! Wonderful stuff.

    LIST OF LLOYDS

    Sir Norman also assures me that he won’t be taking any legal action over the blow he alleges I inflicted on him with a six in the 1970s.

    I still don’t remember it, but Norm raises the possibility of an interesting twist. His wife, Lady Cheryl, reckons the Lloyd that hit her husband was former West Indies captain Clive. So I may be off the hook…

    Watch out!

    Clive Lloyd may have been the one to have hit Sir Norman Wrassle

    A VERY CRUEL CUT
    I go under the knife today for a new knee. I’m dreading it. There will be an epidural and a general anaesthetic, followed by six weeks on crutches.

    The bad news is that I’ll not be in Durham for the fourth Test. The good news is that I’ll be reporting via my iJobby from my hospital bed in ward 10.

  395. GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) – A diner at a north Florida restaurant gathered the staff of 10 together to thank them for their hard work before leaving them a $10,000 tip to share.

    It happened last Tuesday night as the man, his wife and son finished their dinner at the Wahoo Seafood Grill, the Gainesville Sun reported.

    Shawn Shepherd, who owns Wahoo, told the newspaper he got a call from his employees that night, alerting him to the big tip.

    His first thought was to be suspicious.

    “Check his ID and the name on the back of his credit card,” Shepherd advised the employee who called.

    But the restaurant’s point-of-sale system approved the transaction. Shepherd said he checked back the next day to make sure the money was still there.

    “Watching these guys get their check was almost as good as Christmas morning,” Shepherd told the Sun.

    He said he’s very thankful to the diner because his employees have been loyal to the restaurant through the pandemic.

    Among those benefitting from the big tip was Ashley Green, who was called into work that day.

    She had recently endured a rough time because her daughter was ill.

    “She´s had a hard month, she´s been not able to work. Kid has been in and out of the hospital. It´s been absolutely a really stressful time for her,” Shepherd said.

    When the coronavirus pandemic began, Shepherd said he temporarily closed the Wahoo and lost some $30,000 in food.

    “I knew nothing about curbside, I knew nothing about delivery and takeout. We weren´t prepared for that. We didn´t even have the containers to do it,” Shepherd

    He noted that the Florida Restaurant Lodging Association and the Alachua County Chamber of Commerce were a big help, finding them emergency funding to pay the employees.

    He reopened the Wahoo in May.

    He said he’s indebted to his employees because they’ve helped keep the restaurant afloat during hard times.

    This story is part of Focal Point iPhone 2022, CNET’s collection of news, tips and advice around Apple’s most popular product.

    What’s happening

    Apple is rumored to be adding another 6.7-inch iPhone to its lineup this year. This phone will reportedly be a larger version of the standard iPhone 14.

    Why it matters

    Throwing another 6.7-inch iPhone into the mix could detract from the iPhone 14 Pro Max’s appeal. Especially as consumers are cutting back on spending.

    What’s next

    Apple is holding an event on Sept. 7, where it’s expected to unveil new iPhone models.

    The rumored iPhone 14 Pro Max may have a higher resolution camera, a new processor from Apple and a supersized 6.7-inch screen like the current iPhone 13 Pro Max. Those updates would certainly be appreciated, but they’re also routine for an annual iPhone upgrade. Apple might need more to make its highest-end iPhone stand out in 2022. 

    That’s because the iPhone 14 Pro Max won’t be the only gigantic iPhone in Apple’s lineup anymore, if the latest rumors are to be believed. Apple is expected to release a 6.7-inch iPhone 14 Max as well this year, meaning those who love large screens won’t have to splurge on the Pro Max just to get a bigger display. Analysts have also speculated that Apple could increase the prices of the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max compared to last year, potentially making the Pro Max an even tougher sell.  

    Aside from the difference in screen size, there’s typically little that separates Apple’s “Pro” iPhones from its “Pro Max” devices. I’m hoping that changes with the Phone 14 Pro Max, which we’re expecting to learn about during Apple’s upcoming Sept. 7 event. With inflation putting a dent in smartphone shipments, companies like Apple may have to work harder to convince consumers to spend more on high-end devices. 

    iPhone 13 Pro Max. As such, it will probably have a 6.7-inch screen and a triple-lens camera that includes wide, ultrawide and telephoto lenses. In an effort to further distinguish its Pro iPhones from its standard iPhones, Apple will reportedly give the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max an upgraded 48-megapixel camera sensor, a faster A16 Bionic chip and a redesigned camera module on the front that removes the notch. 

    These features are said to be exclusive to the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max, meaning they won’t appear on the standard iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Max. That’s all according to reports from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman and TF International Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, both of which have strong track records when it comes to reporting on unreleased Apple products.

    Provided Apple maintains its current pricing structure, the iPhone 14 Pro Max will likely start at $1,100 for the 128GB model. The iPhone 14 Pro will likely begin at $1,000.

    Get ready for Apple’s next event

    How to Watch Apple’s September Event

    What Apple Needs to Make the iPhone 14 Pro Max Worth It

    Apple Watch Pro 2022: All the Rumors

    Why the iPhone 14 Pro Max needs to stand out
    If the reports turn out to be true, the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max could include one of the biggest camera improvements we’ve seen on the

    The problem, however, is that the iPhone 14 Pro Max could end up getting lost in the shuffle. Shoppers who just care about having the best camera could get by with the cheaper iPhone 14 Pro, while those who primarily want a large screen may opt for the rumored iPhone 14 Max. Both devices will likely be cheaper than the iPhone 14 Pro Max. 

    The launch would also come at a time when people are seemingly spending less on mobile devices and being more careful about their purchases. Smartphone shipments are expected to decline by 3.5% in 2022, according to estimates from the International Data Corporation published in June. The NPD Group reported in May that more than eight in 10 consumers are planning to reassess their product spending in the next three to six months. A recent NPD survey also indicated consumers plan to seek less-expensive items, look for promotions and cut back on overall purchases in the next few months. 

    These factors could make it more difficult to convince consumers to spend more than $1,000 on a new phone, especially when they may be able to get some of the same benefits (a larger screen or a triple-lens camera) on cheaper models. With the iPhone 14 Pro Max, Apple would likely be counting on the fact that consumers are willing to pay a premium to get both a larger screen and a better camera.

    , I’d love to see Apple implement iPad-like software features that make better use of the Pro Max’s giant screen. For example, it could add a multitasking mode that makes it easier to view more than one app simultaneously. I’d also like to see an always-on display option, similar to the one available on newer Apple Watch models and many competing Android phones. 

    Samsung has done a better job of distinguishing its premium Galaxy S22 Ultra from the regular Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus. Even though the $1,200 Galaxy S22 Ultra is likely too expensive for most people, it offers distinct features you can’t get on Samsung’s less-expensive models. The Ultra has a built-in stylus for notetaking and drawing, a 6.8-inch screen that’s larger than any other phone in Samsung’s S22 lineup, a higher resolution 40-megapixel selfie camera and main camera system with two telephoto lenses and a 10-times optical zoom.

    None of those characteristics are available on Samsung’s other S22 devices, including the $1,000 Galaxy S22 Plus. The iPhone 13 Pro Max, by comparison, has a lot in common with the iPhone 13 Pro, aside from its larger screen and longer battery life. In other words, Apple is relying on the iPhone 13 Pro Max’s 6.7-inch screen to distinguish it from the regular Pro. 

    But if Apple does release a 6.7-inch version of the standard iPhone, just as reports from Nikkei Asian Review, Bloomberg and Ming-Chi Kuo indicate, the iPhone 14 Pro Max might feel less unique in this year’s lineup. The rumored iPhone 14 Max likely won’t have the same extras as Apple’s Pro iPhones, such as a triple-lens camera and a screen with a higher refresh rate for smoother scrolling. But it might be compelling enough to entice shoppers that simply want a larger screen and don’t care as much about having a telephoto lens. 

    Regardless, the iPhone 14 Pro Max will be a top seller if its predecessors are any indication. The iPhone 13 Pro Max landed in the top five smartphone models in regions such as the US, UK, France, Germany and China, according to Counterpoint Research. The iPhone 12 Pro Max was also the second best-selling phone globally in 2021, Counterpoint Research also reported. 

    Still, until a foldable iPhone comes along, the iPhone Pro Max will be Apple’s most expensive and most premium iPhone. That also means it should be the best showcase of Apple’s technology, which is why I’d like to see more exclusive features that you can’t get elsewhere.

  397. The Official Platinum Jubilee souvenirs have gone on sale ahead of the four-day bank holiday weekend celebrating the Queen’s 70 years on the throne.

    Included in the dedicated collection is a box of five luxurious biscuits, of two Corgis, two Britannia bunting flags and a detailed crown for £25.

    Royal fans can also get their hands on a £16 pair of Jubilee socks which show the outlines of the national flowers of the United Kingdom, with a rose for England, a daffodil for Wales, a thistle for Scotland and a shamrock for Northern Ireland.

    Also up for grabs is a £39 English sparkling wine, a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier with fruit exclusively grown and hand-picked in Kent and West Sussex vineyards.

    It is said to pair ‘particularly well with mature English cheddar’.

    They also had a £25 fine bone china coffee mug, inspired by the purple Robe of Estate worn by the Queen at her Coronation, with the border decoration based on the gold embroidery on the robe, incorporating olive branches and wheat ears which symbolises ‘peace and prosperity’.

    It was also finished with 22 carat gold – but it has since sold out.

    Each of these products are to be sold in a limited edition with only 2,022 in stock, in recognition of 2022 being the platinum jubilee year.

    If you wanted to celebrate the Jubilee later into the year, the Royal Collection is also selling a Corgi decoration you can put on your Christmas tree, which has gold threads to detail the Queen’s favourite breed holding a bunch of Jubilee-themed balloons.

    Student Edward Roberts, 20, created the emblem to define the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee after winning the competition to design a logo run by the Victoria and Albert Museum in London last year.

    Mr Roberts, from Southwell, Nottinghamshire, a graphic and communication design student at Leeds University, was given the top spot by a judging panel of artists and experts who praised the way the emblem captures the ‘continuous thread’ of the Queen’s 70-year reign.

    Speaking of the sock design he has also created, Mr Roberts said: ‘With the new design, I wanted to create a set of products that stayed true to and worked well alongside the emblem design. Like my original submission, the flowers are part of a continuous line, capturing the delicate nature of these national symbols.

    ‘I wanted to create a design that was contemporary, and in keeping with these modern times.

    Having these products in Royal Collection Trust shops and well received by the public is lovely to see.’

    The socks are also crafted by Corgi, a luxury sock and knitwear brand which is a family-run company established in Wales in 1892.
    It was awarded a Royal Warrant by HRH the Prince of Wales, and continues to supply to him and other members of the Royal family.

    The Queen made an energetic and enthusiastic appearance at the Royal Windsor horse Show on Sunday night, where she received cheers and a standing ovation.

    The 96-year-old looked full of joy on Sunday night as she watched an all-star lineup including Dame Helen Mirren, Tom Cruise and Katherine Jenkins perform at the event alongside equestrian, military and musical talent from all over the world. 

    It is anticipated she will attend a Service of Thanksgiving in June for her 70-year reign and make her traditional appearance on the Buckingham Palace balcony at Trooping the Colour.

    It is unlikely she will attend many other events, however, as palace aides have recently admitted that she has ‘good and less good days’.

    The Queen has been forced to cancel a string of engagements in recent months and last week missed the State Opening of Parliament for the first time ever due to age or infirmity, symbolically asking her son, the Prince of Wales, and grandson, the Duke of Cambridge, to stand in for.

    But royal aides insist that despite what they describe as ‘episodic’ mobility issues, the monarch is in good spirits and very much in charge behind the scenes, undertaking several meetings each week in addition to her familiar red boxes of official papers.

    A federal program that has delivered millions of free at-home COVID-19 tests to American households through the US Postal Service has now ended, due to a lack of supply.

    USA Today first reported on Aug. 26 about the limited supply of tests. Soon after, USPS updated its page for at-home COVID tests to say the free at-home COVID-19 tests program would be suspended on Sept. 2, 2022. On Friday, the site updated again to announce it is no longer accepting orders for tests.

    US Postal Service/Screenshot by Peter Butler/CNET

    The original website that the government launched in January — CovidTests.gov — now has a banner that reads, “Ordering through the free at-home test program was suspended on Friday, September 2 because Congress hasn’t provided additional funding to replenish the nation’s stockpile of tests.”

    Even though the Postal Service has suspended delivery of COVID tests, there are other ways to get tests for free. Learn your options for finding free COVID-19 tests, as well as what happens next with the federal program to deliver free tests.

    For more on COVID-19 testing, learn why the expiration date on your COVID test box might be wrong and whether at-home tests work with the BA.5 subvariant of COVID.

    How did the free COVID-19 test program from USPS work?

    In January, President Joe Biden announced the launch of CovidTests.gov, a website that let households order four free rapid antigen COVID-19 tests shipped by USPS. The site added four more free tests in March, and then another eight more in May. 

    Unlike some complicated government applications, ordering free tests from the Postal Service was simple. It took less than two minutes to complete a short form asking for your name and mailing address, and the tests shipped in about a week or two. Americans without internet access or those who had trouble ordering online could request tests using a toll-free phone number.

    A phone recording at that COVID-19 hotline reiterates that COVID test orders have been suspended, but it also mentions that people who are blind or have low vision can order specially designed COVID tests that are more accessible. However, a representative on the hotline said that those tests are no longer available for order either. That confirms a report from CBS News that the accessible tests are also “temporarily out of stock.”

    Why has USPS stopped taking orders for free COVID tests?
    According to the White House, without new funding for Congress to pay for at-home COVID tests, the government needs to conserve the supply that it has remaining in case of a major COVID-19 outbreak this fall. The Biden administration has been urging Congress to approve more money to fight COVID for most of 2022, but efforts have stalled. 

    A $1.5 trillion omnibus spending bill in the spring was passed only after removing all funding for COVID-19. In a March 9 letter to colleagues, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi blamed the lack of COVID-19 funding on Republicans’ insistence that all money be offset by cuts elsewhere, to which several Democrats objected.

    The Biden administration has suggested that as many as 100 million Americans could be infected with COVID-19 this fall and winter.

    Will the Postal Service program for free COVID tests return?
    It’s all about the funding. In an interview with NBC News, an unnamed senior Biden official said, “If Congress provides funding, we will expeditiously resume distribution of free tests through CovidTests.gov.”

    On Sept. 2, Office of Management and Budget director Shalanda Young announced that the White House is now asking Congress for $22.4 million in COVID funding to “meet immediate short-term domestic needs, including testing; accelerate the research and development of next-generation vaccines and therapeutics; prepare for future variants; and support the global response to COVID-19.”

    Where can I get free at-home COVID-19 tests now?
    Even though free COVID-19 tests from the Post Office are suspended, you still have a few options for finding similar at-home COVID tests for free. First, if you’re lucky enough to have private health insurance, you can get eight free COVID tests per person per month. 

    In January, the Biden administration announced the requirement for health insurance companies to cover at-home tests. Participants can either receive their eight free tests a month from provider-based pharmacies or be reimbursed by their provider for up to $12 for each test they purchase.

    At-home COVID-19 tests are also eligible expenses for flexible spending accounts (FSA) and health savings accounts (HSA).

    Medicare was not initially included in the plan to distribute free COVID-19 tests, but on April 4, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services announced that participants with Plan B or those in a Medicare Advantage plan were also eligible to receive eight free tests a month. 

    It’s still possible to get free COVID-19 test kits through health insurance, Medicare or local health clinics.

    Sarah Tew/CNET

    If you’re not insured or covered by Medicare, you still can get free COVID-19 tests. As part of the Biden administration’s National COVID-19 Preparedness Plan, the Department of Health and Human Services has provided millions of free COVID tests to community health centers and Medicare-certified rural health clinics.

    You can search for a local health center or clinic with free COVID tests near you using a tool on the HHS website.

  399. DEL MAR, Calif. (AP) – A 3-year-old filly was euthanized after completing a workout at Del Mar, the track´s first fatality of its summer racing season.

    Lovely Lilia had just completed a four-furlong workout in 49.20 seconds during training hours Saturday when she was pulled up and vanned off the track.
    Veterinarians found that she could not recover from the unspecified injury and was euthanized.

    Lovely Lilia was trained by Vladimir Cerin. She had two wins in seven career starts and earnings of $37,551, according to Equibase.

    Del Mar’s summer meet opened Friday.

    The seaside track north of San Diego ranks among the country’s safest tracks, according to The Jockey Club’s Equine Injury Database. It had a rate of 0.62 fatal injuries per 1,000 starts last year. The national average for tracks that reported was 1.68.

    When NASA’s robotic Perseverance rover blasted off to Mars last year, it brought with it a small, golden box called MOXIE, for the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment. 

    Since then, MOXIE has been making oxygen out of thin Martian air. 

    And on Wednesday in the journal Science Advances, the team behind this contraption confirmed MOXIE has been working so well that its oxygen output is comparable with the rate of a modest Earth tree’s output. 

    By the end of 2021, extensive data showed that MOXIE successfully reached its oxygen target output of six grams per hour during seven separate experimental runs, as well as in a variety of atmospheric conditions. That includes day and night, different Martian seasons and other such things.

    “The only thing we have not demonstrated is running at dawn or dusk, when the temperature is changing substantially,” Michael Hecht, principal investigator of the MOXIE mission at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Haystack Observatory, said in a press release. “We do have an ace up our sleeve that will let us do that, and once we test that in the lab, we can reach that last milestone to show we can really run any time.”

    Here’s where MOXIE is located on the Martian rover.

    NASA

    For scientists and space agencies alike, it’s especially exciting that MOXIE’s promise holds strong, because proposed timelines for astronaut-laden Mars expeditions have looming deadlines for learning how to keep future red planet space explorers safe. 

    SpaceX CEO Elon Musk’s goal of landing humans on Mars appears to be 2029, for instance, and NASA’s own upcoming Artemis I moon mission is meant to pave the way for Martian excursions planned for the 2030s or 2040s. “To support a human mission to Mars, we have to bring a lot of stuff from Earth, like computers, spacesuits, and habitats,” Jeffrey Hoffman, MOXIE deputy principal investigator and a professor at MIT, said in a press release. “But dumb old oxygen? If you can make it there, go for it — you’re way ahead of the game.”

    As it stands, MOXIE is super small (it’s basically the size of a toaster), but this is potentially a good thing. It means that if scientists can somehow scale up the patterned cube’s size, MOXIE could make far more than just six grams of oxygen per hour. 

    “We have learned a tremendous amount that will inform future systems at a larger scale,” Hecht said. 

    Maybe one day, the researchers say, it could eventually produce oxygen at the rate of several hundred trees, thus sustaining astronauts once they arrive on Mars and fueling rockets that require the life-giving element to bring crew back to Earth. 

    “Astronauts who spend a year on the surface will maybe use one metric ton between them,” Hecht said in a NASA press release last year. But, per the space agency, getting four astronauts off the Martian surface on a future mission would require approximately 15,000 pounds (7 metric tons) of rocket fuel and 55,000 pounds (25 metric tons) of oxygen. Bringing all that oxygen from Earth would be supercostly and inefficient.

    So, as Hoffman says, why not just make all the oxygen on the arid planet itself?

    How does MOXIE work?
    On Mars, MOXIE is actively converting carbon dioxide in the Martian atmosphere — where the element makes up a whopping 96% — into breathable oxygen. 

    A little chemistry 101 is that carbon dioxide molecules are made up of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. Those bits are basically stuck together. But an instrument within MOXIE, called the Solid Oxide Electrolyzer, can sort of harvest the oxygen bits within those CO2 molecules that scientists are interested in. Once complete, all the free-floating oxygen particles are recombined into O2, aka molecules with two oxygen atoms, otherwise known as the kind of oxygen we know and love. 

    I know it’s different, but I keep thinking about Pixar’s WALL-E doing this. So, as WALL-E would say: Ta-da!

    Technicians at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory lower the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) instrument into the belly of the Perseverance rover.

    NASA/JPL-Caltech

    “This is the first demonstration of actually using resources on the surface of another planetary body, and transforming them chemically into something that would be useful for a human mission,” Hoffman said. “It’s historic in that sense.”

    Along the way, this process requires the use of superhigh heat — reaching temperatures of approximately 1,470 degrees Fahrenheit (800 Celsius) — which is fascinatingly what gives MOXIE its characteristic gold coating. 

    Like with NASA’s trailblazing James Webb Space Telescope, MOXIE has to be shielded from infrared heat because it operates with heat itself. A gold coating does just that, and in fact the JWST’s mirrors are coated with gold for the exact reason, too.

    One wing of the James Webb Space Telescope’s main mirror opens into place during a final test of the mirror deployment system in May 2021. Check out that gold-plated beauty.

    NASA

    Up next, the MOXIE team intends to demonstrate that MOXIE works well under even more intensive conditions, like a next run coming up that’ll occur during the “highest density of the year,” Hecht said. “We’ll set everything as high as we dare, and let it run as long as we can.”

    Finished with season 4 of Stranger Things? Done with Marvel and ? Maybe you should check out Dark. For my money it’s the best show currently streaming on Netflix.

    A mind-bending show that deftly combines internal family drama with time travel, Dark is the rarest of things: a show without a single dip in quality. All three seasons rule in every way imaginable.

    The Stranger Things comparison makes sense, but Dark is a very different show.

    Netflix

    Dark, at its core, is a mystery series. Much like Stranger Things — the show it’s most frequently compared to — Dark’s first season focuses almost exclusively on the search for a missing child. But in this show the child hasn’t escaped to a parallel universe, but a different time 30 years in the past. Before long Dark is a show that operates across multiple time zones and dimensions. 

    Dark has everything. It does complex, interweaving plot twists on a level that makes Westworld look like a pretend-clever show for children. It earns these twists by also being a delicately written study of broken familial interrelationships and small-town claustrophobia. 

    It’s a show that juggles the risks that come with time travel narratives with ease. Dark’s plot is complex to the point where I make a sport of waiting for it to completely fall apart. I spent three whole seasons waiting for Dark to drop the ball and collapse beneath its own weight, but it didn’t. 

    This TV show is a miracle. 

    Netflix: Watch Dark

    See at Netflix

    Probably the worst thing you could say about Dark is that it’s pretentious. Unlike other time travel shows like, say, Outlander — which revels in camp and sort of begs you to watch ironically — Dark takes itself completely seriously. It’s almost unrelenting. 

    Dark asks you to sincerely care about what’s happening on-screen. It infuses its plot with multiple explicit references to Ariadne and the Bible. In most science fiction this would be enough to make my eyes detach from their socket and roll all the way backward into my brain, but Dark earns its delusions of grandeur by actually being good enough to sustain them.

    There’s been much fanfare around the . On Wednesday, the agency gave space fans a new way to experience Webb’s observations with a series of soundscapes.

    The tracks — including translations of images of the Carina Nebula and the Southern Ring Nebula — use sonification to turn imagery and data into audio experiences. “Music taps into our emotional centers,” said musician Matt Russo, a physics professor at the University of Toronto who worked on the project. “Our goal is to make Webb’s images and data understandable through sound — helping listeners create their own mental images.”  

    The “Cosmic Cliffs” of the Carina Nebula, a stunning celestial object full of stars, gas and dust, becomes a sparkling, symphonic palate of sound. The gas and dust have drone-like tones. The orange and red lower part of the image is melodic. Points of bright light are higher in tone.

    The Southern Ring Nebula takes on an eerie sound, like experimental electronic music made in a tunnel with string players tuning up. This sonification comes in two parts to represent the different infrared observations Webb made of the nebula. The bright stars make distinct noises, like plucked piano strings.

    It’s not just images the team of scientists and musicians turned into audio. Webb’s data on the atmosphere of gas giant exoplanet WASP-96 b became a sci-fi-esque soundscape filled with descending tones and an effect like dripping water. Those droplets represent water signatures in the atmosphere.

    The sonifications bring a new dimension to Webb’s discoveries, and they make the telescope’s work more accessible to blind and low-vision space enthusiasts. “When I first heard a sonification, it struck me in a visceral, emotional way that I imagine sighted people experience when they look up at the night sky,” said Christine Malec, a member of the blind and low-vision community who worked on the Webb sound project.

    The Webb audio experiences are both otherworldly and familiar. They show there are broader ways to explore the cosmos beyond what we can see with our eyes.

    This story is part of Home Tips, CNET’s collection of practical advice for getting the most out of your home, inside and out.

    If you’ve been rinsing your teeth after brushing, there’s a good reason to stop now and change your routine. I used to rinse thoroughly after brushing my teeth to remove any remnants of toothpaste left in my mouth. But this method isn’t the best and I only found out last year while scrolling through TikTok. 

    Instead, I now spit out as much toothpaste as I can without swishing with water so I can allow the toothpaste to do its job just a little longer. However, I wasn’t sure why I was doing this — or what the benefits were — until I spoke with an expert.

    I talked to Dr. Edmond Hewlett, consumer advisor for the American Dental Association and professor at UCLA School of Dentistry, to find out why you shouldn’t rinse your mouth with water after brushing your teeth. Here’s the answer.

    Why it’s important to skip rinsing with water after brushing your teeth
    Fluoride is an important ingredient in toothpaste that helps make the enamel harder and more resistant to acids that cause cavities. Hewlett says it’s the most well-established effective ingredient in toothpaste, so make sure yours has fluoride in it. 

    When you brush your teeth, you’re cleaning any film and bacteria from food and sugary drinks. When you go a step further and skip rinsing, you’re leaving the fluoride from the toothpaste in your mouth for a longer time, giving you a better effect from the fluoride.

    Wait at least 15 minutes after brushing to drink water. After brushing your teeth, Hewlett explains, your saliva will clear the toothpaste out so you won’t taste it all day. 

    What if you’ve been rinsing all your life? 
    If you’re just finding out about this tip, you may be thinking you’ve been undoing all your hard work of brushing every day. But that’s not true. Hewlett says as long as you brush the standard two times a day for two minutes each time, the fluoride will remain in your mouth to help protect your teeth. 

    You’re still doing what you need to do to have good oral health to protect your teeth. The idea of not rinsing is just an extra step to help the fluoride be even more effective.

    “When you measure a person’s fluoride levels in saliva, if they don’t rinse, there’s more fluoride,” Hewlett said. But it’s not going to be a waste of your time if you do rinse. He said research is still being done to determine the difference it makes in the long term to prevent cavities. 

    Check that your toothpaste contains fluoride.

    Sarah Mitroff/CNET

    Your specific dental health also plays a role
    There are different risk levels for getting cavities per person, Hewlett said. 

    “If you typically don’t get cavities, then you should continue using fluoride toothpaste. The decision to rinse or not to rinse after brushing probably won’t make a difference.”

    On the other hand, for those who struggle with cavities, not rinsing is probably a better decision. Additionally, you should get help from your dentist to find out why you’re getting cavities regularly — for instance, it could be your eating habits, snacking on sugary foods or not brushing your teeth regularly. If you’re at higher risk for cavities, you should do everything you can to help prevent them. 

    Is it OK to use mouthwash to rinse your teeth after brushing?
    It’s OK as long as you use a mouthwash that also contains fluoride so you can still get the same effect. Otherwise, without fluoride, it’s similar to rinsing with water.

    More teeth brushing tips
    Here are some additional tips for keeping your oral health up to par.

    Always use a soft bristle toothbrush, and never medium or hard. Hewlett says anything but soft can increase the risk of gum recession. 

    It doesn’t matter if you floss before or after you brush your teeth, as long as you floss once a day to remove plaque and stuck food. 

    You don’t have to aggressively brush your teeth to get them clean. While scrubbing your dishes with extra force may make them extra clean, it’s not necessary for your teeth and can also lead to gum recession.

    Gently brush along the gum line with a soft bristle brush to help prevent gum disease.

    Always consult with your dentist for personalized advice. They understand what your oral health profile looks like.

  406. Nero the dog is not only man’s best friend – he is his best travel companion as well.

    Adventurous Joshua Sivarajah, 34, took his pet dog along for the ride as he cycled around Britain on a bike that was modified to include a seat for his four-legged travel mate.

    The four-month adventure saw the pair explore the most beautiful places in the country – from Cornwall to the Outer Hebrides in Scotland.

    The original plan called for Nero to run alongside his master but the dog injured his paws on the very first day of their journey.

    Instead of leaving his pet behind, Joshua found a welder who added a shelf to the back of the bike for Nero to sit on.

    Joshua said he gave up everything to go on the adventure and he couldn’t think of anyone better to bring along for the epic ride.

    He said: ‘I grew up reading books like CS Lewis and Tolkien. I wanted an adventure of my own. I gave up my job, my house and my possessions.

    Following the success of his UK trip, Joshua Sivarajah now plans to take Nero around Europe on the modified bicycle

    ‘All I have to my name is Nero, a tent, cooking stove, some clothes and some trainers.

    ‘Nero is my best friend.

    When I went to see the litter he was the only puppy that ignored me. I was determined at that point to make him love me.

    ‘He is my best friend and with me all day, every day. Nero is my dog, friend, companion and soul mate.
    This has been one great adventure.’

    The original plan called for Nero to run alongside his master but the dog injured his paws on the very first day of their journey

    Joshua, who used to run his own sales company, decide to pack his bags and leave his life in Southampton behind in July.

    The pair travelled 2,500 miles in four months, covering the length and breadth of the UK, including Cornwall, Bristol and the Pembrokeshire coast.

    They also made it to Ireland, thanks to the help of a fisherman, before exploring the Outer Hebrides in Scotland.

    ‘Best friend’: Nero catches some rest during the pair’s journey, which covered 2,500 miles in a little over four months

    But the trip took an unexpected twist early on when Nero burned his paws on the hot ground amid hot weather on the first day of their adventure.

    Joshua then took the decision to make alterations to the bike to enable Nero, who he has had since he was eight weeks old, to continue the mammoth trip.

    He said: ‘We met an ironmonger in Whitby who saw Nero on the bike.

    ‘When I explained what we were doing, he made and welded a shelf to the back of the bike for Nero to sit in.

    Joshua Sivarajah says Nero attracted a lot of attention as they met strangers who invited them into their homes for an overnight stay or meal

    ‘He’s not strapped in, for him it’s like being a passenger on a motorbike.

    He’s only fallen off once, and that was when he went to sleep.’

    Joshua and his four-legged friend ‘free camped’ out most nights, setting up their tent in parks, on farmland and by rivers.

    Their journey so far, including his food costs, have been funded via a Go Fund account – with money coming from people who heard of his story online about his travels.

    He has also secured sponsorship for his phone and gadgets, so he can post updates on a series of blogs.

    Following the success of his UK trip, Joshua now plans to take Nero around Europe on the modified bicycle.

    He said: ‘I have been amazed by people’s kindness.

    Many people have invited me into their homes to stay or for a meal.

    ‘Having Nero with me is a great conversation starter and the people we meet always want to find out more about him and what we are doing.

    ‘Nero and I, have many more wonderful and exciting adventures planned.
    Next on the list is Europe.’

    The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is the fourth version of Samsung’s phone that folds open into a small tablet. It costs $1,800. Yes, that’s a lot of gravy. Most of that price comes from the Z Fold 4’s 7.6-inch foldable display. That same folding screen has a high refresh rate for playing video games, a clever camera hidden behind it for video calls and S Pen support for writing and drawing. Despite not being a huge fan of previous Galaxy Fold phones, I cannot get enough of the Galaxy Z Fold 4.

    Remember the first time you had a crush? Maybe you didn’t even know what a crush was but found yourself enamored with someone else? That’s kind of what happened to me with the Galaxy Z Fold 4. And like a kid with their first crush, it’s hard to describe why I’m so drawn to it, especially since it’s so similar to last year’s Fold 3 (which I liked, but wasn’t crazy about).

    The price is too high

    It’s still a bit chunky

    Lack of S Pen storage or a magnetic side to attach it

    There are still lots of apps that don’t support the Fold 4’s screen ratio

    Part of my infatuation with the Fold 4 comes from its dozens of small refinements compared to the Fold 3. The hinge is a little thinner. The phone is slightly lighter. The bezels on the cover screen are just a tad smaller. The body is a little wider, making it more enjoyable to use when closed. Everything about the Fold 4 feels more tailored, including the software. Samsung made multitasking on the Fold 4 approachable and easy.

    In fact, after two weeks of using a review unit on loan from Samsung, the Fold 4 is my favorite Android tablet. It showcases Samsung’s engineering and software improvements and is an impressive reminder that we are still at the dawn of foldable phones.

    But then there’s that $1,800 price tag. I could buy a Galaxy S22 Ultra and an iPad Mini for the same price. Yet, that’s not a fair comparison because neither of those devices can fold open or closed. And remember, $1,800 is the starting price. A 1TB Fold 4 will set you back over $2,000.

    If you are tempted by the Fold 4, know that there are many to make less of a dent on your wallet.

    The Fold 4 is 3 millimeters wider than last year’s Fold 3, which makes it feel less awkward and cumbersome when it’s closed in phone mode. However, the cover screen’s keyboard is still a little cramped for my hands.

    The numerous minor changes to the Fold’s width and thickness really pay off.

    The Fold 4 is all about Android 12L and Flex Mode
    Samsung packed the new Fold with features that range from significant updates, like the taskbar-turned-dock (which I genuinely enjoy using), to ones that are more, “Oh, that’s kind of fun, but will I use that?” The new cursor and trackpad available in Flex mode falls under that second category.

    The Fold 4 runs on Android 12L, which is optimized for large screens and foldables. Samsung’s lovely tweaks to One UI (its window dressing for Android) really make you feel like you’re using something special without compromising on features and capabilities you’d expect from a phone that doesn’t fold in half.

    The hinge allows it to be positioned in a variety of ways.

    Richard Peterson/CNET

    The dock at the bottom of the screen makes getting in and out of multitasking apps easy. Just drag one app on top of the other, and that’s it. That ease of use is just another reason the Fold 4 is so appealing to me. Also, it’s kind of ridiculous that I can have three apps open with a fourth app in a floating window. Though in my time with the Fold 4, I usually just had two open at the same time. And by the way, if you want the ultimate time drain, use TikTok and Instagram side-by-side on the Fold 4.

    One of my favorite things to do on the Fold 4 is watch videos. (That might partially be because I caught COVID while reviewing the phone and could do little else besides watch shows like The Sandman and The Rehearsal.) A feature I truly dig is that if I’m watching a video and close the Fold, playback picks up instantly on the 6.2-inch cover screen and vice versa. By the way, videos and games on the cover screen look fantastic even with the slim aspect ratio.

    Then there’s Flex Mode, which moves the app you’re using to the top of the screen while displaying the controls at the bottom when the phone is positioned half-open. For example, the YouTube app shows videos on the top half of the screen while the bottom half is for scrolling through comments or the description.

    Samsung even fixed its own Gallery app so now when you edit a photo in Flex Mode, the picture stays on the top half with the edit tools and interface on the bottom. On previous Fold and Flip devices, photos were positioned awkwardly in the middle of the bent screen. 

    When the Fold 4 is opened up as a tablet, its size and aspect ratio make it a joy to use.

    Kevin Heinz/CNET

    A new addition to Flex Mode is the ability to use the bottom of the screen as a mini trackpad with a cursor on the top. I can’t say I found a lot of use with that setup, but I love that Samsung is embracing the Fold’s unique shape. More of this please! The Fold 4 also supports the S Pen, as did the Fold 3. It’s fun to use, though I wish it could magnetically attach to the side of the Fold like the Apple Pencil does on the iPad.

    Some features are on by default, but others are buried in Settings (most under something called Labs, which feels like a beta purgatory for software features). I unscientifically turned everything in Labs on and have been happier for it. But know that not all apps are optimized for the Fold 4. For example, Instagram awkwardly floats in the middle of the screen with arrows on either side to align it on the left or right.

    The cameras on the back are similar to the ones found on the Galaxy S22 and S22 Plus.

    James Martin/CNET

    The Z Fold 4 has five cameras
    On the back cover there are three cameras: a main camera with a wide angle lens, another one with an ultrawide lens and a third with a 3x telephoto lens. There’s a selfie camera on the cover screen and an under-display camera behind the main screen.

    The under-display camera is probably the one I used the least, which is likely why Samsung felt good about putting it behind the display. The under-display camera isn’t invisible like a two-way mirror. But it’s less distracting than a hole-punch cut out or notch. I used the under-display camera a couple of times for video chats, and no one on these calls noticed anything out of the ordinary. However, the image looked flat and heavily processed.

    The main and telephoto cameras on the back are similar to the ones on the Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Plus. Photos look good and are sharp with punchy colors and contrast. Night mode was also pretty good. These cameras are definitely a step up from the ones on the Fold 3, but they still lag behind the camera systems on the Galaxy S22 Ultra, Pixel 6 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro in terms of image quality and versatility.

    The colors and contrast pop in this photo of downtown San Francisco.

    It’s impressive how much detail the Fold 4 was able to capture. Notice the ornamentation on the building.

    The only times I noticed the Fold 4’s camera struggle was under low or mixed lighting, and in direct sunlight, which yields lots of lens flares. If this wasn’t a folding phone, this would be unacceptable for a phone that costs nearly $2,000.

    The best part of the Fold 4’s cameras actually has little to do with the lenses and sensors. Rather, it’s the phone’s design. This phone is its own tripod. You can put it in all sorts of places or position the camera at different angles. One of the coolest features is the ability to use the rear cameras for selfies, or share a preview of the camera’s viewfinder with your subject.

    Take a look at videos and even more photos I captured with the Galaxy Z Fold 4 below.

    The Fold 4’s performance is fast and buttery-smooth
    The Fold 4 has the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 chip, the fastest (and newest) processor in any Samsung phone. It’s the same processor we see in gaming phones and the 2022 Razr, the newest foldable phone from Motorola. And speaking of gaming, the Fold 4 is the perfect size for mobile gaming. The main screen makes gaming feel immersive. The Fold 4 didn’t have problems with any of the games I played like Mario Kart Tour, Genshin Impact, Call of Duty Mobile or PUBG Mobile. The Fold 4’s great gaming experience is an unexpected delight that also adds to its appeal.

    The speedy processor and high refresh rate screen weren’t just good for games. Animations look incredibly smooth. In benchmark tests, the Fold 4 scored higher than the Fold 3 and S22 Ultra, another sign that its new processor brings a slight speed boost.

    The Galaxy Z Fold 4’s battery is the same size as the Fold 3’s, which was just OK. I was hopeful that the combination of Android 12L and the Snapdragon 8 Plus Gen 1 processor would mean more battery life. To an extent I did experience longer battery life, but not by much.

    The Fold 4 made it through most days on a single charge. But I found myself topping it off at around 8 p.m. or 9 p.m. I also ran a test where over three-quarters of an hour I watched YouTube videos, scrolled through my TikTok feed, played Mario Kart and FIFA Mobile and took a 5-minute Zoom video call. The battery went from 100% to 82% in those 45 minutes.

    Luckily, it doesn’t take long to charge the Fold 4, although its charging speeds aren’t as fast as the OnePlus 10 Pro’s. After charging the Fold 4 for 30 minutes, the battery went from 20% to 73%. Remember, the Fold 4 doesn’t come with a wall charger.

    The Galaxy Z Fold 3 (left) and Galaxy Z Fold 4 look nearly identical.

    Kevin Heinz/CNET

    Fold 4 vs. Fold 3 vs. Fold 2
    The Galaxy Z Fold 4 adds all of the nuance and refinement that the Fold 3 needed. But if you have a Fold 3, there’s no need to upgrade to the 4.

    If you have a Fold 2, it might be worth upgrading, especially if you can score a sweet trade-in deal. You get a faster processor, a more robust build, waterproofing (though the Fold 4 still lacks dust resistance), S Pen support and superior cameras.

    The Fold 4 clearly isn’t priced for mass appeal but it is identical to what the Fold 3 costs. I do think it’s a fair price for what you get in 2022, which is a premium phone made with parts that are unique, cutting-edge and expensive. But so is a Ferrari SF90 Spider, and that costs over half a million dollars. Despite my crush, I won’t be buying the Fold 4 or a Ferrari anytime soon. And we are still years away from a foldable phone being affordable to most people.

  408. A health worker walks outside a building placed under lockdown in Kwai Chung, Hong Kong

    Hong Kong authorities said Sunday that one of 77 hamsters handed in by pet owners for a Covid cull has tested positive, as thousands of city residents remain under lockdown to combat an outbreak.

    The financial services hub adheres to mainland China’s strict “zero-Covid” policy under which even the slightest sign of the virus is stamped out with contact tracing, targeted lockdowns and long quarantines.

    More than 2,000 hamsters have been culled after some imported from the Netherlands by a local pet shop were found to be Covid-positive, raising fears of animal-to-human transmission.

    The risk of transmission from animals “remains low”, the World Health Organization has said, but is a possibility.

    It comes as Hong Kong battles an Omicron cluster that has infected more than 170 people in a single public housing estate in recent days.

    Pet owners who bought a hamster after December 22 were urged last Tuesday to surrender their pets for testing and killing.

    A range of small animals found in pet shops with the imported hamsters were seized and put down by authorities, including guinea pigs and rabbits.

    But on Sunday authorities said among 77 hamsters surrendered only one was positive for the virus.

    Hong Kong recorded its highest number of new Covid cases in 18 months on Sunday at 140, placing the city’s zero-tolerance strategy under pressure.

    Nearly 5,000 residents at a high-rise public housing estate in the densely populated Kwai Chung neighbourhood have been placed under a five-day lockdown and all 35,000 people on the estate ordered to take Covid tests.

    The cluster is one of the largest and fastest-growing outbreaks Hong Kong has seen yet, with 170 cases recorded in the development so far.

    But the government’s order to surrender hamsters and its lockdown of the Kwai Chung estate have sparked questions about the viability of the zero-Covid policy.

    Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam has defended the strategy, saying it is necessary to protect hospitals.

    The city’s top microbiologist and government adviser on Covid told reporters Sunday that “zero-Covid” was not a goal but a way to “buy time for people to get vaccinated”.

    Hong Kong has so far recorded more than 13,000 infections and over 200 Covid-related deaths, making it one of the world’s most successful places in keeping the virus at bay.

    There’s been much fanfare around the . On Wednesday, the agency gave space fans a new way to experience Webb’s observations with a series of soundscapes.

    The tracks — including translations of images of the Carina Nebula and the Southern Ring Nebula — use sonification to turn imagery and data into audio experiences. “Music taps into our emotional centers,” said musician Matt Russo, a physics professor at the University of Toronto who worked on the project. “Our goal is to make Webb’s images and data understandable through sound — helping listeners create their own mental images.”  

    The “Cosmic Cliffs” of the Carina Nebula, a stunning celestial object full of stars, gas and dust, becomes a sparkling, symphonic palate of sound. The gas and dust have drone-like tones. The orange and red lower part of the image is melodic. Points of bright light are higher in tone.

    The Southern Ring Nebula takes on an eerie sound, like experimental electronic music made in a tunnel with string players tuning up. This sonification comes in two parts to represent the different infrared observations Webb made of the nebula. The bright stars make distinct noises, like plucked piano strings.

    It’s not just images the team of scientists and musicians turned into audio. Webb’s data on the atmosphere of gas giant exoplanet WASP-96 b became a sci-fi-esque soundscape filled with descending tones and an effect like dripping water. Those droplets represent water signatures in the atmosphere.

    The sonifications bring a new dimension to Webb’s discoveries, and they make the telescope’s work more accessible to blind and low-vision space enthusiasts. “When I first heard a sonification, it struck me in a visceral, emotional way that I imagine sighted people experience when they look up at the night sky,” said Christine Malec, a member of the blind and low-vision community who worked on the Webb sound project.

    The Webb audio experiences are both otherworldly and familiar. They show there are broader ways to explore the cosmos beyond what we can see with our eyes.

    Finished with season 4 of Stranger Things? Done with Marvel and ? Maybe you should check out Dark. For my money it’s the best show currently streaming on Netflix.

    A mind-bending show that deftly combines internal family drama with time travel, Dark is the rarest of things: a show without a single dip in quality. All three seasons rule in every way imaginable.

    The Stranger Things comparison makes sense, but Dark is a very different show.

    Netflix

    Dark, at its core, is a mystery series. Much like Stranger Things — the show it’s most frequently compared to — Dark’s first season focuses almost exclusively on the search for a missing child. But in this show the child hasn’t escaped to a parallel universe, but a different time 30 years in the past. Before long Dark is a show that operates across multiple time zones and dimensions. 

    Dark has everything. It does complex, interweaving plot twists on a level that makes Westworld look like a pretend-clever show for children. It earns these twists by also being a delicately written study of broken familial interrelationships and small-town claustrophobia. 

    It’s a show that juggles the risks that come with time travel narratives with ease. Dark’s plot is complex to the point where I make a sport of waiting for it to completely fall apart. I spent three whole seasons waiting for Dark to drop the ball and collapse beneath its own weight, but it didn’t. 

    This TV show is a miracle. 

    Netflix: Watch Dark

    See at Netflix

    Probably the worst thing you could say about Dark is that it’s pretentious. Unlike other time travel shows like, say, Outlander — which revels in camp and sort of begs you to watch ironically — Dark takes itself completely seriously. It’s almost unrelenting. 

    Dark asks you to sincerely care about what’s happening on-screen. It infuses its plot with multiple explicit references to Ariadne and the Bible. In most science fiction this would be enough to make my eyes detach from their socket and roll all the way backward into my brain, but Dark earns its delusions of grandeur by actually being good enough to sustain them.

    The Strictly star, 32, told MailOnline he’s ‘all or nothing’ and wouldn’t have enjoyed doing cameo appearances on the E4 series.

    In an exclusive interview, Jamie, who’s the owner of confectionary company Candy Kittens, admitted while he’s loved being a cast member for ten years, ‘there’s no longer a reason for him to do the show.’

    ‘With a reality show you’ve got to really throw yourself into it and whatever I do I want to do it to my best ability and put my all into it and at the moment I can’t do that and I have other things I need to do.

    ‘I would just be on the side and truthfully I don’t enjoy doing that, I want to be in the thick of things and I can’t do that with Chelsea at the minute so for me there isn’t a reason to do it.

    ‘I am so all or nothing and I hate doing things halfheartedly. I got to hang out with my best friends and film and I don’t regret any of it. We were so lucky in so many ways.’

    ‘I hate doing things halfheartedly’: The Strictly star, 32, told MailOnline he’s ‘all or nothing’ and wouldn’t have enjoyed doing cameo appearances on the E4 series (pictured in 2011) 

    ‘I don’t regret any of it’: Jamie, who’s the owner of confectionary company Candy Kittens, admitted while he’s loved being on Chelsea, ‘there’s no longer a reason for him to do the show’

    In October last year Jamie said ‘I’m definitely taking a step back’ from Made In Chelsea, now in its 21st series.

    Since then he’s competed in the Strictly final and been announced as the presenter of BBC Three’s I Like The Way You Move that he’s busy filming.

    Meanwhile, his girlfriend and former co-star Sophie Habboo, 27, has remained part of the cast and features in the current series. 

    Jamie’s already excited to watch the new crop of Strictly hopefuls when the competition returns later this year but says he’ll be envious of whoever former mentor Karen Hauer, 39, is partnered with. 

    He said: ‘It was one of those things that you finish and go “okay, what do I do now?” Thank God it was Christmas and I relaxed, which was amazing.

    ‘It was so great and I loved it’: Jamie says he’ll be envious of whoever former Strictly mentor Karen Hauer  is partnered with when the BBC show returns later this year 

    ‘It was a bit of a shock to finish but also a massive relief at the same time. It was mixed emotions. It was so great and I loved it.

    ‘Without a doubt, I can’t wait for them to start training. I’m going to be so jealous of Karen’s partner. It’s something you only get to do once.’  

    Despite his on-screen success, Jamie admits he was ‘scared’ for the future of his sweet business when the pandemic hit and non-essential shops were forced to close.

    He said: ‘Candy Kittens definitely struggled at the beginning because we’re known as an impulse buy. You go into a shop and you buy your milk and bread and think I’ll buy a packet of Candy Kittens.

    In love: Jamie’s girlfriend and former co-star Sophie Habboo, 27, remains part of the Made In Chelsea cast and features in the current series 

    ‘At the beginning it was really hard for us. We did have to furlough some people. We were pretty scared like most businesses were. Then people changed the way they bought stuff.

    ‘I really feel for businesses. My dad has a travel business and that’s definitely been hit pretty damn hard. We were incredibly lucky and there are businesses out there that aren’t incredibly lucky.

    ‘I couldn’t feel sadder for those people because I know the amount of work they’d have put in, the struggles, the late nights, early mornings and for it to be taken away from them is pretty miserable.’

    The majority of Jamie’s fans will assume he launched Candy Kittens with plenty of money in the bank, given his dad’s great-grandfather invented the McVitie’s digestive biscuit and he’s set to inherit the fortune.

    ‘It was really hard for us’: Jamie, who was ‘scared’ for his business when the pandemic hit, has launched campaign The Sweet Life, which promotes an alternative wellness guide created by Candy Kittens

    ‘Take the pressure off’: The TV personality goes nude in a new spoof video while urging fans of Candy Kittens to look after their wellbeing 

    But Jamie claims he initially had no budget to make the sweets for Candy Kittens, which is now the fastest-growing confectionary brand in the country.

    He said: ‘We started with no sweets because we couldn’t afford to make the sweets.

    ‘There’s this assumption I had loads of money but we had no money when we started, nothing at all. We couldn’t afford to make the sweets so we opened up a pop-up shop selling smoothies and T-shirts that said ‘I’m a Candy Kitten’ on them.

    ‘From the money we made from the pop-up shop we put it into developing the sweets. That’s how we built it.’

    ‘Relax’: Jamie, who’s heir to the McVitie’s fortune after his dad’s great-grandfather invented the digestive biscuit, said when he first setup Candy Kittens he had no budget to create the sweets

    Jamie goes nude in a new campaign video for The Sweet Life, which promotes an alternative wellness guide created by Candy Kittens in response to a study revealing just how much pressure young people in particular have felt during lockdown to change their lives. 

    It uses humour to empower people to ignore outside pressure from influencers and the wellness industry to subscribe to extreme, and often expensive, wellness practices, and instead feel empowered to take control of their own well-being by doing what works for them.  

    He explained: ‘This campaign is about trying to take the pressure off you and to relax.

    ‘Treat yourself, we don’t have to worry so much – be kind to yourself and why not have a packet of Candy Kittens to really cheer you up because they really are the most delicious sweets in the world.

    ‘They actually are the best sweets in the world even though I am bias!’

    When NASA’s robotic Perseverance rover blasted off to Mars last year, it brought with it a small, golden box called MOXIE, for the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment. 

    Since then, MOXIE has been making oxygen out of thin Martian air. 

    And on Wednesday in the journal Science Advances, the team behind this contraption confirmed MOXIE has been working so well that its oxygen output is comparable with the rate of a modest Earth tree’s output. 

    By the end of 2021, extensive data showed that MOXIE successfully reached its oxygen target output of six grams per hour during seven separate experimental runs, as well as in a variety of atmospheric conditions. That includes day and night, different Martian seasons and other such things.

    “The only thing we have not demonstrated is running at dawn or dusk, when the temperature is changing substantially,” Michael Hecht, principal investigator of the MOXIE mission at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Haystack Observatory, said in a press release. “We do have an ace up our sleeve that will let us do that, and once we test that in the lab, we can reach that last milestone to show we can really run any time.”

    Here’s where MOXIE is located on the Martian rover.

    NASA

    For scientists and space agencies alike, it’s especially exciting that MOXIE’s promise holds strong, because proposed timelines for astronaut-laden Mars expeditions have looming deadlines for learning how to keep future red planet space explorers safe. 

    SpaceX CEO Elon Musk’s goal of landing humans on Mars appears to be 2029, for instance, and NASA’s own upcoming Artemis I moon mission is meant to pave the way for Martian excursions planned for the 2030s or 2040s. “To support a human mission to Mars, we have to bring a lot of stuff from Earth, like computers, spacesuits, and habitats,” Jeffrey Hoffman, MOXIE deputy principal investigator and a professor at MIT, said in a press release. “But dumb old oxygen? If you can make it there, go for it — you’re way ahead of the game.”

    As it stands, MOXIE is super small (it’s basically the size of a toaster), but this is potentially a good thing. It means that if scientists can somehow scale up the patterned cube’s size, MOXIE could make far more than just six grams of oxygen per hour. 

    “We have learned a tremendous amount that will inform future systems at a larger scale,” Hecht said. 

    Maybe one day, the researchers say, it could eventually produce oxygen at the rate of several hundred trees, thus sustaining astronauts once they arrive on Mars and fueling rockets that require the life-giving element to bring crew back to Earth. 

    “Astronauts who spend a year on the surface will maybe use one metric ton between them,” Hecht said in a NASA press release last year. But, per the space agency, getting four astronauts off the Martian surface on a future mission would require approximately 15,000 pounds (7 metric tons) of rocket fuel and 55,000 pounds (25 metric tons) of oxygen. Bringing all that oxygen from Earth would be supercostly and inefficient.

    So, as Hoffman says, why not just make all the oxygen on the arid planet itself?

    How does MOXIE work?
    On Mars, MOXIE is actively converting carbon dioxide in the Martian atmosphere — where the element makes up a whopping 96% — into breathable oxygen. 

    A little chemistry 101 is that carbon dioxide molecules are made up of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. Those bits are basically stuck together. But an instrument within MOXIE, called the Solid Oxide Electrolyzer, can sort of harvest the oxygen bits within those CO2 molecules that scientists are interested in. Once complete, all the free-floating oxygen particles are recombined into O2, aka molecules with two oxygen atoms, otherwise known as the kind of oxygen we know and love. 

    I know it’s different, but I keep thinking about Pixar’s WALL-E doing this. So, as WALL-E would say: Ta-da!

    Technicians at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory lower the Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) instrument into the belly of the Perseverance rover.

    NASA/JPL-Caltech

    “This is the first demonstration of actually using resources on the surface of another planetary body, and transforming them chemically into something that would be useful for a human mission,” Hoffman said. “It’s historic in that sense.”

    Along the way, this process requires the use of superhigh heat — reaching temperatures of approximately 1,470 degrees Fahrenheit (800 Celsius) — which is fascinatingly what gives MOXIE its characteristic gold coating. 

    Like with NASA’s trailblazing James Webb Space Telescope, MOXIE has to be shielded from infrared heat because it operates with heat itself. A gold coating does just that, and in fact the JWST’s mirrors are coated with gold for the exact reason, too.

    One wing of the James Webb Space Telescope’s main mirror opens into place during a final test of the mirror deployment system in May 2021. Check out that gold-plated beauty.

    NASA

    Up next, the MOXIE team intends to demonstrate that MOXIE works well under even more intensive conditions, like a next run coming up that’ll occur during the “highest density of the year,” Hecht said. “We’ll set everything as high as we dare, and let it run as long as we can.”

    When we imagine a world embraced by cosmic haloes, we typically envision Saturn. One might even argue Saturn based its entire personality on those dazzling rings — and rightfully so. They’re solid. Visible. Luxurious even. 

    But if you didn’t already know, it is my honor to tell you Neptune has rings too. 

    They’re just much daintier and therefore superhard to see without superpowered telescopes. The planet itself, in fact, lies 30 times farther from the sun than Earth does and appears to standard stargazing instruments as nothing more than a weak speck of light. 

    Despite our inability to admire Neptune’s fragile hoops from here, scientists caught a wonderful glimpse of them girding the azure realm in 1989 thanks to NASA’s traveling probe Voyager — and on Wednesday, the agency’s equally exceptional James Webb Space Telescope presented us with round two. 

    “It has been three decades since we last saw these faint, dusty rings, and this is the first time we’ve seen them in the infrared,” Heidi Hammel, Neptune system expert and interdisciplinary scientist for the JWST, said in a statement. “Webb’s extremely stable and precise image quality permits these very faint rings to be detected so close to Neptune.”

    And as if that weren’t enough, this new image exhibits Neptune, surely emanating a soft lavender glow under the JWST’s Near-Infrared lens, against a backdrop of galaxies deftly picked up by the same piece of . It’s unambiguous proof that the JWST is far too sensitive to capture what we might consider “blank space.” This machine is powerful enough to every single time it gazes into the void. 

    Without further ado, Neptune:

    In this image by Webb’s Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam), a smattering of hundreds of background galaxies, varying in size and shape, appear alongside the Neptune system. It was officially captured on July 12, 2022.

    ESA

    Of every image taken by the JWST so far, this one is simply my favorite. 

    Its depth of field gives me existential butterflies because it’s disquieting to see a full-on planet, rings included, solely floating in front of deceptively small galaxies that are, in reality, hundreds of thousands of light-years across. These galaxies sit at gigantic distances from our solar system’s cosmic neighborhood (home to our very own Neptune), yet carry wads more cosmic neighborhoods.

    For comparison, here’s what Voyager captured of Neptune’s rings in 1989.

    NASA, JPL

    Breaking down the JWST’s lens on Neptune
    The brilliant luminescence we see in the JWST’s portrait of Neptune exists only because it’s filtered by the telescope’s infrared powers. We’re looking at a depiction of invisible, infrared wavelengths emanated by the gaseous world. 

    We aren’t looking at the sort of visible wavelengths we’re used to — ones that show us color, like the kind the Hubble Space Telescope works with, for instance. Neptune still has its signature blue tint stemming from elements on the planet, such as methane gas, but the JWST can’t show them to us. That’s not what it was built to do.

    The Hubble Space Telescope shows Neptune in its blue glory while tracking two dark storms on the planet. The larger one is toward the center top and the smaller one is to the right. 

    NASA, ESA, STScI, M.H. Wong (University of California, Berkeley), and L.A. Sromovsky and P.M. Fry (University of Wisconsin-Madison)

    “In fact, the methane gas is so strongly absorbing that the planet is quite dark at Webb wavelengths,” the European Space Agency said in a press release, “Except where high-altitude clouds are present. Such methane-ice clouds are prominent as bright streaks and spots, which reflect sunlight before it is absorbed by methane gas.”

    You can further see a thin line of brightness circling the planet’s equator, which the team says may indicate global atmospheric circulation attached to Neptune’s winds and storms. “The atmosphere descends and warms at the equator, and thus glows at infrared wavelengths more than the surrounding, cooler gasses,” NASA said. 

    At the northern pole, the agency says, there’s also an “intriguing brightness,” and at the southern pole, further proof of a vortex present on the orb’s surface.

    Last but definitely not least, of Neptune’s 14 known moons, the JWST caught seven: Galatea, Naiad, Thalassa, Despina, Proteus, Larissa and Triton. Exhibiting the JWST’s signature six-spiked glare, Triton is seen in its weird backward orbit, offering hope to astronomers that the JWST can help decode the bizarre situation.

    The JWST captured seven of Neptune’s moons. 

    NASA, ESA, CSA and STScI

    “Dominating this Webb portrait of Neptune is a very bright point of light sporting the signature diffraction spikes seen in many of Webb’s images,” ESA said. “It’s not a star, but Neptune’s most unusual moon, Triton.”

    It’s the context of the image that really gets me, though. If we zoom out from Triton and those delicately dusted Neptune rings and those polar vortex mysteries, it becomes evident we can see these cosmic details only by sheer coincidence of existing in this iota of the universe.

    Since the AirPods Pro 2 were announced for $249 (£249, AU$399), people have asked me, “How much better are they than the originals?” That’s largely because a lot of people own the first-gen AirPods Pro and want to know are these new Airpods worth the upgrade. There are also plenty of folks who passed on the first version of the Airpods Pro, but wonder how the newest ones stack up against premium earbuds from Sony, Bose and other big headphone brands.

    Putting an exact percentage on how much AirPods Pro 2 have improved over their predecessors isn’t so easy, but that’s what I’m going to try to do in this review. I’m also going to try to give you an idea how they stack up against some of the other top new earbuds out there.

    Apple AirPods Pro 2 design: Small changes
    Let’s start with the external design. This is one of those situations where Apple hasn’t really done anything to change the size and shape of the buds or significantly alter their physical appearance. The original AirPods Pro were compact and lightweight and fit a lot of people’s ears really well, so I can’t fault that decision.

    Some people were hoping for shorter stems and perhaps some new color options or even better water resistance — yes, they’re still IPX4 splash-proof. But I figured Apple would stick with its tried-and-true design and focus on making improvements to the areas that had the most room for improvement, such as sound quality, noise-canceling performance and battery life, which is now up to six hours from about four-and-a-half hours with noise canceling on and an extra four charges in the charging case (30 hours total). Those numbers go up to seven hours and 35 hours total with the noise canceling off. A quick five-minute charge gives you about an hour’s worth of battery life.

    David Carnoy/CNET

    There are some small but noteworthy changes to the design, particularly to the microphones placement. On the original AirPods Pro, the skin-detection sensor and noise-canceling microphone were combined on the inside of the bud. Now, they’re separated with the skin-detection sensor in the same spot, but the noise-canceling microphone has been moved to the top of the bud where it’s exposed to the outside world and better at picking up and processing ambient sound. The microphone configuration is similar to what you see on the AirPods 3, but the skin-detection sensor is smaller, and Apple says it’s improved that sensor so it more accurately turns on and off playback and is more energy efficient. 

    I should also mention that Apple now includes a fourth set of extra small ear tips, which should help those of you with really small ear canals who had trouble getting a secure fit with the originals.

    But this isn’t like the AirPods 3, where Apple made big changes to the earbuds’ external design. As far as I can tell, these fit my ears the same as the originals. I personally would like Apple to include a new extra-large ear tip, but I do get a relatively good seal with the largest size that’s included. (I am able to pass the seal test in the Ear Tip Fit test that’s part of the AirPods Pro’s Ear Tip companion app, but I do have to sometimes adjust how the buds sit in my ears to pass the test.) I could probably do just a little better with an XL tip, and I sometimes use third-party foam tips to get a more secure fit. They have a little more grip, and that helps keep the buds very securely in my ears, particularly when I’m running with them.

    The AirPods Pro 2 are IPX4 splash-proof like the originals.

    Upgraded Apple AirPods Pro 2 wireless charging case
    The new MagSafe-enabled wireless charging case is the same size but now has a built-in speaker and Apple’s U1 chip, which allows it to play sounds for use with Apple’s precision Find My feature (the case essentially has an

    The new wireless charging case still charges via Lighting but adds a speaker and a spot to attach a lanyard.

    David Carnoy/CNET

    It’s worth noting that you can’t charge the original AirPods Pro in the AirPods Pro 2’s cases and vice versa. If you try that, you’ll get a “mismatched AirPods” notification on your phone.

    While Apple has retained the pinch controls on the stems, which I preferred to the touch controls on the original AirPods, it’s now added swipe controls on the stem for adjusting the volume. You can still ask Siri to raise and lower volume — these do have hands-free Siri — but a lot of people will appreciate the new swipe controls.

    That’s really it as far as external design changes go and most of them are tied into some feature or performance enhancement.

    New Apple AirPods Pro 2 drivers and internal components
    As I said in my initial first look video, the real changes are on the inside, where everything is basically new. The AirPods Pro 2 are powered by Apple’s new H2 chip, which delivers more processing power while being more energy efficient. To get better sound, Apple has combined that chip with a new amplifier and new low-distortion drivers along with new digital processing algorithms. The H2, new microphones and algorithms are also what drive the improved adaptive active noise canceling that Apple says is twice as powerful as its predecessor’s noise canceling. And finally, there’s a new Adaptive Transparency Mode that allows you to hear the world around you in a natural, lifelike manner while reducing loud noises that might normally shock your ears. It’s a great transparency mode and you can turn the adaptive part off if you want. 

    Some people wanted shorter stems.

    David Carnoy/CNET

    Apple AirPods Pro 2 sound evaluation
    You can definitely hear the improvements to both the noise canceling and sound. As for sound, you get better clarity, more bass punch with better definition, and just more all-around depth and dynamic sound. The sound just has a little more girth and dimensionality. I compared a few tracks I always use during testing, like Spoon’s Knock Knock Knock, and you can really notice a difference in the bass performance. The earbuds use Adaptive EQ, which uses an inward-facing microphone to monitor the sound going into your ears, and the H2 chip, which optimizes the audio that you’re listening to on the fly (there are no manual EQ settings). The chip’s increased computational power helps it process and optimize a wider range of frequencies, particularly the highs.

    One of the more impressive things about the buds is how loud they play. For me, I found they played plenty loud at about 65% to 70% volume. I compared them to the new Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2. The AirPods Pro 2 sound excellent, but there’s something about the tonal balance of the Bose that I liked a little better at times — there’s a bit more warmth and naturalness to it — and the bass has a bit more oomph. But I had to push the volume up to about 85% to hear some of the finer details and to get the extra bass kick on the Bose. With the AirPods Pro 2 you hear more detail and get good bass even at more moderate volumes.

    Some people were hoping that the new AirPods Pro would be able to stream Apple Lossless tracks over wireless. They currently can’t do that, which will certainly disappoint some people. Whether they’ll be able to do that in the future and possibly get other new feature upgrades is anybody’s guess. But for now, they use Bluetooth 5.3 and support the AAC LC3 audio codec, which offers 16-bit 48 kilohertz bit rates compared with the 16-bit 24 kilohertz bit rates of AAC. Not high-resolution audio, but a little bump up.

    Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 2 Pro support 24-bit high-resolution audio. The catch is to get that 24-bit audio you need a Galaxy device equipped with Samsung’s One UI 4.0 and a  like Qobuz, Tidal or Amazon Music that streams high-res audio tracks. On all other devices, including Android phones and iPhones, those buds default to the AAC audio codec.

    Apple AirPods Pro 2 noise canceling testing
    The active noise canceling is impacted by how tight a seal you get from the ear tips. If you lose that tight seal, some ambient sound may leak in and you may hit the rare ANC hiccup as the AI shifts gears for a fraction of second to make adjustments (this is a phenomenon with all adaptive noise-canceling earbuds). But it was easy to sense that the noise canceling was reducing more cabin noise during a cross-country flight I took and also muffled more sound when I rode the subway in New York. The buds also have just enough venting to avoid that oppressive occluded feeling you sometimes get with ANC buds.

    The noise canceling didn’t feel twice as strong to me as I switched between the AirPods Pro 2 and the original AirPods Pro, but by double the noise canceling power what Apple means is that noise canceling is improved across all frequencies and probably more so with high- and mid-range frequencies that are harder to muffle than lower frequencies. So you’re likely to hear more improvement with the muffling of people’s voices, for example.

    Ultimately, the noise canceling is one of the best out there right now and just a slight step behind what I experienced with Bose’s new QuietComfort Earbuds 2, which arguably have the best noise canceling at this moment. But I’ll say it again, the noise-canceling experience can and will vary with the fit of the earbuds, so hopefully, you get a good fit.

    If you happen to own an Apple Watch, you can fire up the Noise app — or complication, as Apple calls it — to get a readout of the exact decibel levels the AirPods Pro 2 are reducing with their noise canceling (you just need to have a Watch running WatchOS 9). It’d be nice if you could just see that same dB level check on your iPhone.

    Apple AirPods Pro 2 Spatial Audio
    I’m not going to talk too much about Apple’s Spatial Audio virtual surround mode, but it’s here and fun to play around with — it’s a nice bonus feature, and Apple seems to do it best compared with other buds that have their own virtual surround or spatial mode with head-tracking (for example, Samsung’s Galaxy Buds 2 Pro use 360 Audio). I prefer using Spatial Audio with movies, but I also tried it with various music tracks, particularly those that Apple designates as Made For Spatial Audio. It doesn’t necessarily make music sound better, but it does make it sound different, and it’s interesting to try it out with tracks you know well and want to hear in a different way.

    iOS 16 brings Personalized Spatial audio to any AirPods that support Spatial Audio. Similar to what you do when setting up Face ID, the personalized experience comes from taking pictures of your ears, and the biggest benefit is the more accurate placement of dialogue directly in front of you when you’re watching a movie. That placement doesn’t move even if you turn your head if you have head-tracking turned on (you can also use Spatial Audio in “fixed” setting).

    Apple AirPods Pro 2 voice-calling performance
    The original AirPods Pro were mostly excellent for making voice calls and these are even slightly better. As I said, the microphones have been upgraded, and there are two beamforming microphones for calls — one on the outside of the bud and one at the bottom of the stem, both of which have some mesh covering them to help reduce wind noise. When you’re using the buds to make a FaceTime call over Wi-Fi instead of a call over a cellular voice network where the audio gets compressed, people may be able to notice a bigger difference in the clarity of your voice compared with what they would hear with the original AirPods Pro. (You can listen to a test call on the Verizon cellular network in my companion video review, at the top of this page.)

    The one thing I noticed when comparing the AirPods Pro 2’s voice calling with that of the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 is that when you’re having a conversation, the AirPods Pro 2 let more background noise in, but your voice sounds clearer to callers. When you’re not talking, the Bose earbuds completely silence the background noise — it only bleeds in a bit when you start talking. The AirPods Pro 2 don’t try to silence the background noise; they just reduce it to lower levels. There’s something quite impressive about the Bose almost completely silencing the background noise, but the overall experience for callers (the people you’re talking to) seems to be better with the AirPods Pro 2, because your voice does sound clearer and they can hear you well over the reduced background noise. 

    I made calls with noise canceling on as well calls with the adaptive transparency on. People you’re talking with can’t hear a difference, but there will be a big difference on your end, particularly if you’re in a noisy environment, where you’ll want to turn the noise canceling on (there’s just enough sidetone to hear your voice in the buds with noise canceling on). In less noisy environments, it’s better to turn transparency on because you can hear your voice as it sounds and you won’t talk too loud. And the transparency does make you feel as if you’re not wearing headphones, though you may still feel them in your ears.

    You can use one bud independently — with noise canceling on if you want — and leave the other in the case to charge. It doesn’t matter which one you use when making calls; with the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds it appears that you can only use the right bud for calls if you want to use only a single bud.

    Apple AirPods Pro 2 buried features

    I’ve spent most of this review focusing on the AirPods Pro 2’s top-level features and the things that people care about most, such as sound quality, noise-canceling and voice-calling performance. But the AirPods Pro do have a number of extra features and settings buried within iOS 16 under the Accessibility setting that allow you to tweak the buds, play masking sounds and even create a custom audiogram. And for those who have slight to moderate hearing loss, there’s a Conversation Boost that turn the buds into hearing amplifiers.

    These features aren’t unique to the AirPods Pro 2 — they’re available for all the latest AirPods. But they’re worth exploring, and I suspect we’ll see more features added in the future. For instance, there was some chatter about new health features coming to the AirPods Pro 2. Those haven’t materialized, but you never know what could get added. For example, Spatial Audio didn’t come to the AirPods Pro until well after their initial release, and Apple never even hinted at when it originally launched the headphones. 

    Another nice little bonus: In addition to charging via Lightning, MagSafe or standard Qi wireless pads, the AirPods Pro 2 can even be juiced up with an Apple Watch magnetic charger. 

    Apple AirPods Pro 2 compared to other top earbuds
    As I said at the beginning, it’s hard to put an exact number on just how much better the new AirPods Pro 2 are than their predecessor. But I’m going to go with somewhere around 40%.

    The fact is that when the AirPods Pro came out almost three years ago, it was really their compact size, comfortable fit and Apple-only features like auto switching between all the devices on your iCloud account that were their big selling points. That’s all here still, but now the sound and noise canceling, which were good but not great before, are what you’d expect from a $249 set of buds.

    Audio quality is subjective, and some people may slightly prefer the sonic traits of buds like the Bose I mentioned earlier or the Sony WF-1000XM4 or Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 3, all of which have equalizer options in their companion apps. But others may actually prefer the AirPods Pro 2’s sound; it really does stack up well against what you get with other premium earbuds in this price range.

    Final take on Apple AirPods Pro 2
    While the AirPods Pro 2 will pair with Android devices, you do lose a lot of their special features, including Spatial Audio, so Android users are better off with buds like Google’s very good Pixel Buds Pro, Samsung’s excellent Galaxy Buds 2 Pro or the Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 that I mentioned earlier. And you may find that other buds like the Bose or even Apple’s own Beats Fit Pro, which don’t sound quite as good or offer as good noise canceling or voice calling performance, may fit your ears more securely, which is an important factor when buying wireless earbuds.

    I’m among those who wish Apple had made the AirPods Pro 2 look a little different than the originals. (I really do want them to come in more color options.) But if you’re an Apple user, they’re hard to beat so long as they fit your ears. While they may not quite be perfect, they feel like a much more fully evolved, refined product that packs not only an impressive set of features but top-notch performance in a very small design.

    This story is part of Focal Point iPhone 2022, CNET’s collection of news, tips and advice around Apple’s most popular product.

    Apple’s iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro arrived on Sept. 16, and you may be wondering if either iPhone is worth the trade-up from a previous iPhone. Above all else, the answer depends on which phone you currently own. If you have a recent model like the iPhone 13 or 12, you should wait. If your phone is older though, it’s worth figuring out how much you’ll gain by jumping to a newer iPhone.

    The $799 (£849, AU$1,399) iPhone 14 brings modest improvements that are appreciated but not game-changing, like nitty-gritty camera improvements, car-crash detection and the support for satellite-based emergency messaging. (Hopefully, you’ll never be in a situation where you’ll need to use the latter two.) The iPhone 14 also has a new internal design with easier access to internal components, making it easier to repair than previous models. iFixit, a website that disassembles tech products and assesses how easy they are to fix, called it “the most repairable iPhone in years.” 

    trade-in deal. Apple saved its most interesting new features for the Pro lineup, including the Dynamic Island that replaces the notch, the new A16 Bionic processor and a 48-megapixel main camera sensor. If you prefer larger phones, you may want to wait until Apple releases the iPhone 14 Plus before making your decision. 

    If you prefer larger phones, you also might want to wait until the 6.7-inch $899 iPhone 14 Plus arrives on Oct. 7. It’s important to remember that you don’t have to buy the iPhone 14 to get camera, battery and performance improvements over an earlier iPhone. 

    The recently discounted $699 iPhone 13 or the smaller $599 13 Mini could be a good option if you still want more storage, faster performance and an improved camera, especially if you are coming from a phone that’s three years old or more. It’s also the only option if you want the smaller Mini and its 5.4-inch screen, since the iPhone 14 line eliminates that size in favor of the new $899 iPhone 14 Plus with a 6.7-inch screen.

    Apple iOS 16 Released: New iPhone Features From the Update

    The iPhone 13.

    iPhone 14 vs. iPhone 13, 13 Pro, 13 Pro Max

    The iPhone 14 lineup introduces new features such as car-crash detection, the removal of the physical SIM card for US phones, and enhanced cameras on the rear and front. Despite those changes, iPhone 14 isn’t different enough to justify upgrading from the iPhone 13. And even though Apple finally got rid of the infamous notch in the Pro Models, the 14 and 14 Plus still have one — it’s the same smaller notch that debuted on the iPhone 13 series. In fact, the iPhone 14 represents “one of the most minimal year-over-year upgrades in Apple’s history,” according to CNET’s Patrick Holland, who reviewed Apple’s latest phones. 

    The iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus have the A15 Bionic chip from last year’s iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. The 14’s screen looks exactly like the one on the 13. Perhaps the most prominent change this year is the introduction of a larger version of the iPhone 14 called the iPhone 14 Plus, which has a 6.7-inch screen like the Pro Max. That means you no longer have to splurge on Apple’s most expensive iPhone if you want the largest screen possible. 

    Of course, the iPhone 14 is still highly rated, but we recommend saving your money and skipping the upgrade. If you’ve made up your mind to upgrade, we suggest going for an iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max if you can afford it. These phones are expensive, but buys you access to some salient changes — namely a high-refresh rate display, Apple’s new Dynamic Island multitasking bar, an always-on display as well as better cameras among other features.

    The bottom line: If you have an iPhone 13 or 13 Pro, don’t upgrade. But if you are determined to get a new phone, go for the iPhone 14 Pro or 14 Pro Max, especially if you must have the Dynamic Island right now.

    The iPhone 12.

    Sarah Tew/CNET

    iPhone 14 vs. iPhone 12, 12 Pro 
    Even though the iPhone 12 lineup was released two years ago, they still share many similarities with Apple’s latest phones. Both the iPhone 12 and iPhone 14 support 5G, run on fast processors, offer great cameras and include MagSafe accessory compatibility.

    Since the iPhone 14 is more of a refresh than a major upgrade, we recommend hanging onto your iPhone 12 if it’s still in good condition. You can take advantage of the iPhone’s latest software features such as lock screen customizations, widgets and the ability to unsend text messages by upgrading to iOS 16.

    The iPhone 14 received a few notable camera upgrades, like a larger sensor, a new lens with a faster aperture, improved photo processing and Action Mode which makes the movements in videos look smoother when you record them.

    But the iPhone 12’s cameras remain excellent even though they are two years old. The iPhone 12 has a 12-megapixel dual camera system, while the iPhone 12 Pro includes a third camera with a telephoto lens. Check out our iPhone 12 review to see how the cameras held up when CNET put them through the paces.

    It’s worth remembering that you get more noticeable upgrades with the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max. These include everything that’s new in the 14, as well as an upgraded main camera with a larger 48-megapixel sensor, an ultrawide camera that allows you to take Macro photos and a third camera with a telephoto lens. If you can get a good trade-in deal that significantly knocks down the iPhone 14 Pro’s price, upgrading from the regular iPhone 12 is a decent step-up. 

    The bottom line: Hold onto your iPhone 12 for another year since the iPhone 14 isn’t dramatically different. However, the iPhone 14 Pro and 14 Pro Max bring more significant changes that could be worthwhile if you can snag a good trade-in deal.

    The iPhone 11.

    Angela Lang/CNET

    iPhone 14 vs. iPhone 11, 11 Pro
    If you’re using an iPhone 11, we recommend upgrading to an iPhone 14 (or even an iPhone 13). In the last three years, Apple has made enough changes to features including battery life, performance, screen quality, cameras and durability to merit buying a new iPhone. 

    Upgrading to the iPhone 14 will get you 5G support, more storage (128GB at the base level versus 64GB) a better main camera with a wider aperture lens, new video shooting options like Action mode and Cinematic mode, a better selfie camera with Night mode and Apple’s Photonic Engine processing, compatibility with Apple’s MagSafe accessories, longer battery life and faster performance. That’s in addition to car-crash detection and Apple’s new emergency satellite messaging feature. 

    Most of the photography and videography improvements are dramatic changes compared to the iPhone 11. And the longer battery life and additional storage space are welcomed upgrades that you’ll notice on a daily basis.

    As previously mentioned, if you go for the 14 Pro instead, you get a new 48-megapixel main camera, a closer 3x optical zoom versus the 11 Pro Max’s 2x zoom, the Dynamic Island instead of the notch and numerous other upgrades like an always-on display.

    The bottom line: The iPhone 14 lineup includes enough changes to justify upgrading from the iPhone 11. But if your phone is still in good condition and you’re satisfied with it, install iOS 16 and hold onto it for another year. 

    The iPhone XS.

    Josh Miller/CNET

    iPhone 14 vs. iPhone XS, XS Max, XR
    If you bought the iPhone XS, XS Max or XR at launch, that means your phone is roughly four years old and may be starting to feel sluggish. That alone makes a strong case for upgrading, but there’s plenty more to gain. 

    Compared to the iPhone XS, the iPhone 14 provides six hours of additional battery life (according to Apple’s estimates). In addition to everything that’s new in the iPhone 14 specifically, you’ll also get other upgrades Apple has added to the iPhone over the past few years. 

    Those include 5G support, more storage (again, you get 128GB versus 64GB), faster performance and a better camera. The iPhone XS generation lacks Night mode for taking clearer pictures in the dark, and it also doesn’t have Deep Fusion, which is Apple’s name for its image processing technique that improves detail and clarity in darker environments. The XS’s front camera has a lower 7-megapixel resolution compared to the larger and newer 12-megapixel sensor on the iPhone 14. If you’re upgrading from an iPhone XR, you’ll also get an additional camera with an ultrawide lens for taking broader group shots for the first time. 

    The iPhone 14 also has a larger 6.1-inch screen compared to the iPhone XS’ 5.8-inch display (the iPhone XS Max has a 6.5-inch screen, while the XR’s screen is also 6.1 inches). The design has also changed quite a bit over the past four years; newer models have flat edges, a slightly smaller notch, different finishes and a new “squircle”-shaped camera module that replaces the pill-shaped rear camera cutout. So your phone will not only feel more modern, but it’ll look newer, too. 

    The bottom line: If you have an iPhone XS, XS Max or XR, it’s definitely worth upgrading. You get a noticeable boost in camera quality, battery life and performance among other areas.

    The iPhone X.

    James Martin/CNET

    iPhone 14 vs. iPhone X
    The iPhone X is about five years old, which means it probably feels slow and its battery life isn’t what it used to be. With an iPhone 14, you’ll notice a major upgrade in both categories, as well as design, improved durability, connectivity and camera quality. 

    Let’s start with performance. The iPhone X runs on a much older A11 Bionic chip that’s now five years old, while the iPhone 14 runs on Apple’s A15 Bionic processor. The iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max run on Apple’s newer A16 Bionic chip. Both new processors are way ahead of the A11 chip, which only has a two-core neural engine compared to the A15 Bionic’s 16-core neural engine. 

    The iPhone’s neural engine powers tasks that rely on machine learning and artificial intelligence, which are becoming a bigger part of the iPhone experience. Things like app suggestions in the App Library and Apple’s Translate app rely on machine learning to function, which indicates that the iPhone X may struggle to keep up with newer capabilities.

    The iPhone X also has a dual-lens camera similar to that of the iPhone XS, meaning it’s missing the iPhone 14’s camera hardware improvements in addition to Night mode, Deep Fusion and the ability to control depth-of-field and blur levels in Portrait mode. Like the iPhone XS, you’re only getting a 7-megapixel front camera compared to a 12-megapixel selfie camera on Apple’s newer phones.

    Apple’s five-year-old iPhone also has shorter battery life, with Apple estimating it should last for 13 hours when playing back video compared to 20 hours on the iPhone 14. The iPhone 14’s 6.1-inch screen is bigger than the 5.8-inch display on the iPhone X, and it should also be brighter since it can reach 800 nits of max brightness compared to the iPhone X’s 625-nit screen.

    The iPhone 14 supports Dolby Atmos and spatial audio playback, while the iPhone X just has stereo playback. That’s probably not a deal-breaker, but might be crucial if you watch a lot of video on your phone without headphones.

    And of course, there’s the benefit of getting car-crash detection, Apple’s new emergency SOS messaging via satellite option, better water resistance (up to 6 meters for 30 minutes versus 1 meter), 5G support, more storage space, Ceramic Shield for the display, a refreshed design and the option to use MagSafe accessories on the iPhone 14.

    The bottom line: If you have the iPhone X, it’s time to upgrade. The iPhone 14 will feel new in just about every way, from the camera to performance, battery life and the way it looks and feels. 

    The iPhone 8 and 8 Plus.

    Gabriel Sama/CNET

    iPhone 14 vs. iPhone 8, 8 Plus
    The iPhone 8 generation has Apple’s legacy iPhone design, which is fitting for a phone that’s now five years old. If you have an iPhone 8 and are considering an upgrade, many of the reasons to do that are the same as the reasons to upgrade from the iPhone X. The processor is getting old, which could make it harder to use newer iPhone features that rely on machine learning. The cameras are outdated and lack features like Night mode (the smaller iPhone 8 doesn’t have Portrait mode either, since it only has one lens). By upgrading, you’ll get more storage, significantly longer battery life, support for 5G connectivity and MagSafe accessories, too.

    But the biggest difference is in the iPhone 8’s design, which is much more than just an aesthetic upgrade. Phones with Apple’s more modern edge-to-edge screen trade Touch ID for Face ID, which lets you unlock your phone and authenticate payments just by looking at your device. If you prefer Touch ID over Face ID, especially since it’s difficult to use Face ID while wearing a mask, you might want to at least consider upgrading to the $429 iPhone SE, since it has the same processor as the iPhone 13, 5G compatibility and plenty of photography improvements inside a similar body to the iPhone 8.

    Upgrading to the iPhone 14 has a noticeably large jump in display size and quality. Since newer phones like the iPhone 14 don’t have a home button, there’s more room for Apple to expand the screen without making the device feel cumbersome. The iPhone 14’s screen is even larger than the iPhone 8 Plus’ 5.5-inch screen despite the device itself feeling more compact. (And for more perspective, consider that the iPhone 13 Mini has a 5.4-inch display). If you go for the 14 Pro you get another big change: the Dynamic Island, which transforms the notch area into an area for viewing alerts, system notifications and apps running in the background like Spotify or Apple Music. 

    From personal experience, switching from an iPhone 8 (which has a 4.7-inch screen) to the iPhone 12’s 6.1-inch display makes reading, checking email and watching videos much more comfortable. The screen isn’t only larger, but it’s also more vibrant with better contrast since it uses an OLED display rather than LCD.

    The bottom line: The iPhone 14 is a huge jump from the iPhone 8. Everything about this phone will feel fast and new: the much larger and bolder screen, Face ID, the speedier processor, its longer battery life and of course the substantially upgraded cameras. Of note however, if you really want to get a newer iPhone but keep the iPhone 8’s design, trade up to the current 2022 iPhone SE.

    The iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 7.

    Sarah Tew/CNET

    iPhone 14 vs. iPhone 7, 7 Plus
    If you have an iPhone 7, it’s time to upgrade. It is six years old, and it shows in everything from the processor to the camera and storage space. The iPhone 7 doesn’t support iOS 16, providing even more incentive for acquiring a newer device. 

    While we generally recommend choosing the iPhone 14 Pro over the iPhone 14 in most cases, coming from a phone this old, means you’ll find plenty that’s new in the iPhone 14. 

    The iPhone 7 runs on an aging A10 Fusion processor, which doesn’t even have a neural engine and is several years behind Apple’s latest technology. It has a single-lens camera without Portrait mode, while the has two cameras. But those cameras lack many modern features like Night mode and Portrait Lighting, which adds specific lighting effects to your portraits. 

    Similar to the iPhone 8, the iPhone 7 series includes Touch ID and comes in either 4.7- or 5.5-inch screen sizes. But since the iPhone 7 is a year older than the iPhone 8, it’s also missing wireless charging, which means you must plug it in to charge. 

    If you’ve owned an iPhone 7 for several years, it’s probably bursting at the seams since it has substantially less storage space. The entry-level iPhone 7 only came with 32GB of space, which is a quarter of capacity available on the cheapest iPhone 14. 

    The iPhone 14 brings major gains in nearly every aspect. The standard model has a larger, bolder and brighter bezel-free 6.1-inch screen that still feels compact since it doesn’t have a home button. It runs on Apple’s A15 Bionic processor, which is better equipped to handle newer iOS features. And it has a drastically improved dual-lens camera with a larger main camera sensor and advanced features like the new Cinematic mode for video and Night mode. Plus, Apple’s estimates indicate it’ll offer seven hours of additional battery life during video playback, which is a huge bump.

    The bottom line: If you’re still holding onto your iPhone 7, there’s no question that you’re due for an upgrade. A better screen, compatibility with iOS 16, longer battery life and more advanced cameras are just a few of the gains the iPhone 14 has to offer over the iPhone 7. And similar to my recommendation with the iPhone 8, if you really want to keep the home button and save some money, consider the iPhone SE. It gives you more recent performance upgrades while keeping a similar phone style.

  538. Like daffodils, lambs and buds on the trees, the Easter bunny is a much-awaited symbol of spring. 

    According to folklore, he’s said to be up to 6ft tall — far larger than your average pet rabbit.
    Or so you might think. 

    Hop forward the Continental Giant, one of the oldest and largest breeds, which is around five times bigger than a standard bunny. 

    On average, Continental Giants weigh around 25lb and are 3ft tall. 

    One such bunny, Darius, who lives in Worcestershire with his owner Annette Edwards, is the largest rabbit ever recorded at 4ft 4in long and tipping the scales at three-and-a-half stone.

    But he’s got competition. 

    Here, Sadie Nicholas meets four women with bumper bunnies. 

    Rebecca Freeman-Harris, 36, owns a dog-walking business and lives in Malmesbury, Wiltshire, with her husband Richard, 41, and their children William and Eleanor.

    Their bumper bunny is Jenson

    Jenson taps on the door 

    Rebecca Freeman-Harris, 36, owns a dog-walking business and lives in Malmesbury, Wiltshire, with her husband Richard, 41, a builder, and their children William, six, and Eleanor, three.

    Their bumper bunny is Jenson, four. He weighs 1st 5oz (6.5kg) and is 2ft 8in tall. 

    Rebecca says: Whenever I hear a tap on the back door, I know it’s Jenson telling us he wants to come in. He loves to climb on the sofa for cuddles, although it can be a challenge as his paws skid all over our wooden floors. 

    He’s my second Continental Giant rabbit.

    He’s enormous — about the size of a toddler. He lives in a spacious hutch in our garden with his girlfriend Florence, an English lop-spot cross, who is much smaller than him. 

    He has been neutered, so they live very happily together.
    If the children have their crayons out, he’ll pick them up and take them off to make a pile. He loves to push balls around with his nose and he’ll do anything for potato peelings when I ­make a Sunday roast. 

    Beki Sharman, 27, works in communications and lives in Yeovil, Somerset, with husband Carey, 36, and their daughter Emilia.

    They have an albino Continental Giant called Lola

    Lola loves playing with the dog 

    Beki Sharman, 27, works in communications and lives in Yeovil, Somerset, with husband Carey, 36, who works in retail, and their daughter Emilia, one.

    They have an albino Continental Giant called Lola, who is 2ft 8in tall and weighs just under 1st (6kg). 

    Beki says: Lola and I used to be housemates until Carey moved in with me in October 2014 and told me: ‘There’s no such thing as a house rabbit.’ 

    He hated her fluff being everywhere.

    So my dad, a carpenter, made her a beautiful oak house in the garden. During winter nights she keeps warm with some microwave heat pads and blankets. I bought Lola in April 2012 — an Easter gift to myself — for £75 from a local pet shop. 

    I was advised that her life expectancy was five years — but she celebrated her seventh birthday last December. 

    Despite only being 16 weeks old when I got her, she already weighed 6.6lb (3kg).

    She now weighs double that thanks to a daily diet of two bowls of pellets, a couple of carrots, an apple and some greens, plus all of our veg peelings and endless hay and grass. Standing on her back legs, she’s as tall as our daughter Emilia. 

    When she was younger, she’d sit on my hip and rest her head on my shoulder, just like my daughter does now, and snuggle up to me all evening on the sofa. 

    She’s very nosy and would sit on the lowlevel sills by the French windows and watch the world go by, often chewing the curtains.

    I once caught her sitting on the mantelpiece when I got home from work and she quickly learned to jump over the stair gate between the living room and kitchen to get to her food bin. 

    Numerous times I arrived home to find food absolutely everywhere.
    These days, she loves to let Luna, our cockapoo, chase her around the garden, although she is wary of Emilia who cannot yet resist the temptation to try to pull her big ears.

    Ted gets mobbed by children

    Em Gallagher, 39, works for the mobile NHS blood and transplant team and lives in Newquay, Cornwall, with giant French lop Ted.

    She is single. Ted is 3ft 3in tall and weighs just over 1st (6.7kg). 

    Em says: Ted is a local celebrity. I take him for a walk once a day with a harness and lead, and everywhere we go, he gets mobbed by children wanting to stroke him and adults desperate for photos to share on social media. 

    He’s not your average bunny and even has his own Instagram page, @mr.teddy.bun, with more than 9,000 followers. 

    I got him in June 2018 when he was nine weeks old.

    Ted cost just £40 from a breeder, although I spend £40 a week on his food including hay, blueberries, fresh herbs and cavolo nero kale. 

    He lives in the five-­bedroom house I share with a friend.
    He sleeps under my bed and wakes me up at 6am for a snuggle and breakfast. When I’m at work he plays in the garden as he couldn’t be trusted not to eat all the plants and cables in the house. 

    On my days off, I volunteer Ted as a therapy bunny at day-care centres, nurseries and schools.

    He loves to share cuddles with kids who have sensory difficulties or anxiety. I also work with bereaved children and take them on trips to Ted’s favourite beach where he roams. 

    Sian Nightingale, 33, works in the NHS, and lives near Nottingham with husband Craig, 33, and their daughter Sophia and Oswald, their Continental Giant rabbit

    Even as a baby, Oswald was a resourceful escape artist

    Sian Nightingale, 33, works in the NHS, and lives near Nottingham with husband Craig, 33, a brewer, and their daughter Sophia, six, plus Oswald, their Continental Giant rabbit, who’s eight months old.

    Oswald is 2ft 8in tall and weighs 1st 1lb (6.8kg). 

    Sian says: Although Ozzy won’t be fully grown for another year, he will soon dwarf our dog, a shih tzu-terrier cross. 

    When he stretches out on the floor next to my daughter, Sophia, he’s up to her hip, and he’s certainly stolen her heart.

    They adore snuggling on the sofa when she gets home from school. 

    Craig and I bought Ozzy from a breeder for £75 last August. We did a lot of research beforehand but had not anticipated that he would be able to leap over the 4ft-high garden fence within days. 

    In a panic, Sophia and I spent hours trying to track him down in the village and knocking on doors to ask if anyone had seen him.

    When we described him as being two-and-ahalf feet tall, they looked at us as though we were bonkers! 

    Eventually, we found him just the other side of the fence. Immediately, we doubled the height of the fence and my husband built Ozzy a 6ft by 3½ft hutch, which serves as his bedroom at night. 

    The rest of the time he hangs out in the house with us, or plays in the garden when we’re not here.

    We haven’t had to mow the lawn for months because he eats it all! He comes when we call him and follows me around the house, nudging the back of my legs until I give his ears a good stroke. 

    If he’s hungry, he sits beside the fridge where his carrots are kept, although mostly he dines on rabbit pellets and hay.
    He has a love-hate relationship with our two pet ducks, who take exception to him pinching their food.

    A 40ft sinkhole has drained almost all of the water from a pond in a park.

    The man-made pond at Abney Hall Park in Stockport, Greater Manchester, took just hours to drain away after water was spotted spiralling down a ‘giant plughole’ on Thursday morning.

    The hole in the bed of the clay pond is believed to lie above a massive 40ft sinkhole which is taking water away to a nearby waterfall.

    Jean Goulden, chair of the Friends of Abney Hall Park, said: ‘You could see the water swirling around just like there was a giant plughole.

    ‘It’s terrible for the community as it’s a much-loved area for families and dog walkers, it’s our little bit of countryside in the middle of the village and we feel very lucky to have it, so we’re hoping something can be done as soon as possible.’

    Kate Peacock, who runs the nearby Abney Gardens Community Cafe – and even gave her two children the middle name ‘Abney’ after the park – said: ‘It’s the heart of the park and we’re determined to do whatever it takes to save it.

    ‘We noticed the water had gone down slightly on Monday, then a bit more on Tuesday and by Wednesday we thought ‘something’s going on here’ and started reporting it to all the relevant agencies.

    ‘It’s unbelievable that you’ve got a giant sinkhole in the middle of Cheadle.’

    The pond was built in the 1970s and is currently home to a range of fish as well as mallards, swans and moorhens.

    Online: Worried residents took to Twitter after the water began to drain away.

    The Environment Agency has said there is no immediate risk to wildlife 

    Some of the fish are thought to have been drained away and others are left in a small pocket of remaining water in the middle of the pond.

    The Environment Agency has said there is no immediate risk to wildlife and no pollution to other waterways.

    A Stockport Council spokesman said the pond is no longer losing water and work to assess the situation is ongoing.

    He said: ‘The water that continues to flow out of the pond is running at a rate similar to that which is flowing in. The advice from the Environment Agency is that the fish are fine where they are.

    ‘The outflow from the pond has been traced and there has been no flooding of surrounding land or property.’

    This story is part of Focal Point iPhone 2022, CNET’s collection of news, tips and advice around Apple’s most popular product.

    Apple has released two iOS 16.1 developer betas since the release of iOS 16, and both updates address the major complaints about the new battery icon support and design. iOS 16 brought back battery percentage to the iPhone status bar after Apple pulled out the feature with the release of in 2017 due to space requirements for various sensors like the camera and microphone. 

    So, yeah it’s back. But a lot of iPhone users aren’t too happy about it. First, some iPhones didn’t get the new battery percentage meter. Second, some users don’t like way it’s been redesigned. Luckily for both groups, it turns out that Apple has been listening.

    What’s the deal with the battery status meter on the iPhone?

    iPhones used to include the exact percentage of your battery right in the status bar. But after the release of the iPhone X, which introduced the notch — the black bar at the top of your device that houses a speaker and camera — there wasn’t enough screen real estate left to keep the battery percentage in the status bar, so Apple nixed the feature.

    Sure, you can swipe down from the top right of your iPhone to view the exact percentage in the Control Center, but that means you can’t glance at the battery percentage from within any app or from the home screen. And it’s nearly impossible to gauge the exact percentage from just the battery icon, which is not good if your iPhone is close to dying.

    iOS 16 reintroduces the battery percentage number back in the status bar, inside of the existing battery icon.

    Apple iOS 16 Released: New iPhone Features From the Update

    Which iPhone models won’t get the battery percentage feature back?
    Not all iPhone users with iOS 16 will see the new battery percentage feature in the status bar, which is frustrating for some. Although there hasn’t been an official statement as to why certain models are excluded from the feature, it seems to be because of lower pixel density for some of the devices, and lack of space for others.

    According to this Apple support page, the following models don’t support the feature:

    iPhone 12 Mini

    iPhone 13 Mini

    The only way you can view your battery percentage on iPhones that don’t support the new feature is to either add a battery widget to your lock screen/home screen or swipe down from the top right of your iPhone to view the battery percentage next to the battery icon (instead of inside it).

    However, the new battery percentage feature will come to the iPhone XR, iPhone 11 and iPhone Minis with iOS 16.1, which was released last week for developers. You can check out how to download it here, but it should be pushed out to the general public soon enough.

    Even some people who do have the feature are frustrated with its design 
    Not everyone is happy with the design of the new battery percentage icon. Although the battery percentage itself is always visible in the status bar on supported devices, the battery icon itself always shows as full, whether the phone is idle, charging or on low power mode — only the color changes. So it can be a bit confusing if you just glance at it.

    The only time the design really changes is when the battery reaches 20% or less — the battery icon then shows as depleted, or about a fifth full, and turns red. 

    On Twitter, Mikael Johansson created a mockup that shows the battery icon changing along with the percentage. Thousands of people have liked the tweet and many have agreed it’s an improvement over the current design.

    Apple listened and is redesigning the battery percentage icon with iOS 16.1
    Apparently, Apple has heard the criticism leveled by iPhone users and redesigned the battery percentage icon with iOS 16.1, which is currently in its second developer beta. As the mockups that Mikael Johansson posted online showed, many people preferred a battery icon that drained, along with the percentage. 

    And that’s exactly what Apple is changing the battery icon to, as you can see in the tweet below posted by Federico Viticci. Instead of just the percentage going down, the battery icon design depletes as well, making it easier to see how full (or empty) your battery life is. 

    However, iOS 16.1 is still a ways away from releasing to the general public. If you really want it now, here’s how to download the developer beta.

    There we go: Apple has tweaked the design of the battery percentage icon in iOS 16.1 beta 2. It now shows the proper charge level 🎉 pic.twitter.com/15tvFUCaPx

    How to get the battery percentage back in the status bar on iOS 16
    Regardless of your thoughts on the design, you should at least take a chance on the battery percentage feature if your iPhone supports it.

    To view your battery percentage in the status bar of your iPhone, all you need to do is upgrade to iOS 16. You can wait for your iPhone to alert you with a pop-up notice, or force an update manually by going to Settings > General > Software Update.

    Once you update, you should see the percentage in the battery icon in the top-right corner of your screen — from anywhere on your iPhone. That way you can keep a close eye on when your iPhone is topped off or close to running out of battery, and when you should start charging it.

    Although the setting is turned on by default, you can go to Settings > Battery and toggle on the Battery Percentage option to make sure it works. When your device is charging, the battery icon will turn completely green, showing you the percentage, while being in Low Power Mode will turn the battery icon completely yellow, but again with the percentage inside.

    If you toggle the Battery Percentage feature off, you’ll remove the numbers from the status bar and revert back to the old battery icon design.

  541. Number of blue tits plunges by 42% as experts warn modern feeders are threatening species

    Its colourful plumage and industrious personality has made the blue tit one of Britain’s best loved garden birds.

    But according to a shocking new study, the once common species is vanishing from the UK’s  bird tables and feeders at an alarming rate.

    Over the last 40 years, the number of  blue tits on bird tables and feeders has fallen by 42 per cent, wildlife experts warned today.

    The number of blue tits visiting British gardens has plunged over the past few decades

    The fall is so rapid that the creatures are now only occasional visitors in parts of the country.

    The latest British Trust for Ornithology’s Garden Bird Feeding Survey also reveals perilous declines in the number of starlings, song thrushes and house sparrows.

    Tim Harrison of the BTO said the decline of the blue tit would astonish many bird lovers.

    ‘People see blue tits all the time and it’s quite a surprise to find out it’s happening under our noses,’ he said. ‘The survey reveals that blue tits are declining in gardens while other BTO surveys hint at a downturn in their population

    ‘In gardens, changes in bird feeding could be responsible.

    Once the supple dexterity of the blue tit would have been king – allowing it to feed on monkey  nuts threaded on a string, peanuts in a mesh feeder and coconut shells stuffed with fat.

    ‘But modern foods and feeders mean that blue tits face stiff competition from others species.’

    The growing popularity of bird feeding means the birds may be spread out over more gardens, he added.

    In the winter of 1970-71 , blue tits were seen 5.3 times on average in British gardens every week, according to the BTO.

    Last winter, they were spotted just 3.1 times.

    The survey has also show a fall in starlings and song thrushes by 75 per cent over the same period and a drop in house sparrows of 70 per cent.

    And after a rise in the first three decades of the survey, the number of collared doves has also fallen – down by more than a quarter in the past 10 years.

    The survey also revealed some winners.

    Birds have been badly hit by changes to farming and woodland management and the increased use of pesticides which have robbed them off seeds and insects.

    Fuelled by the growing sales of nyjer seed  and sunflower hearts, goldfinch numbers have multiplied more than 25 times over in the past 20 years, while long-tailed tits have increased tenfold.

    Four times as many Great Spotted Woodpeckers now dart into gardens than at the start of the survey, hammering and probing their bills into a wide variety of foods.

    David Glue, the BTO’s research ecologist, said: ‘Forty years of the Garden Bird Feeding Survey has provided a fantastic resource.

    ‘It is the longest running survey of its kind in the world and has only been made possible through the dedicated observations of hundreds of UK householders who participate voluntarily.

    ‘With urbanisation and the development of new bird care products continuing apace, the importance of the GBFS will continue to grow.’

    Around 15 million blue tits are thought to spend the winter in Britain. Over the summer the population goes up to between 20 and 44 million.

    A champion speed cuber has smashed the Guinness World Record by solving five Rubik’s cubes underwater in a single 78-second breath.

    Anthony Brooks took just one minute, 18 seconds to solve the puzzles while submerged in a 500-gallon water tank on Friday, slicing 12 seconds off the previous record.

    The 20-year-old only began training for the US National Rubik’s Cube Championship event the day before.

    Incredible feat: Anthony Brooks, 20, solved five Rubik’s cubes in one minute and 18 seconds underwater.

    That’s one cube every 15.6 seconds

    ‘I knew I could do it, so I just had to put my mind to it once I got under water,’ the Texas whiz told NJ.com after the challenge at New Jersey’s Liberty Science Center.

    ‘It’s sweet to finally be able to call myself a Guinness World Record holder.’

    The previous record of four cubes in 1 minute, 30 seconds was set by Spanish cuber David Calvo in 2009.

    Brooks said he began preparing on Thursday, spending the whole day holding his breath and twisting the cube while submerged.

    He said he can easily solve more than five underwater (he solved the fifth cube with one hand) but just wanted to break the record. 

    Breaking the record: Someone passed speed cube champion Anthony Brooks new Rubik’s cubes as he solved them in a bathing pool

    Brooks, a graduate of The Science Academy of South Texas, is a competitive solver of the Rubik’s cube and has broken numerous international records.

    Speed cubing is the art of solving Rubik’s cube and other twisty puzzles as fast as possible.

    Apple has released two iOS 16.1 developer betas since the release of iOS 16, and both updates address the major complaints about the new battery icon support and design. iOS 16 brought back battery percentage to the iPhone status bar after Apple pulled out the feature with the release of in 2017 due to space requirements for various sensors like the camera and microphone. 

    So, yeah it’s back. But a lot of iPhone users aren’t too happy about it. First, some iPhones didn’t get the new battery percentage meter. Second, some users don’t like way it’s been redesigned. Luckily for both groups, it turns out that Apple has been listening.

  547. One in 14 dogs in the UK  – 7.1 per cent – is now obese, a new study from Royal Veterinary College (RVC) reveals. 

    From a sample of more than 20,000 dogs, pugs, beagles and golden retrievers were the breeds at greatest risk of obesity compared with crossbreeds, the study found.  

    Owners of these breeds must be ‘especially vigilant’ to protect their dogs from piling on weight, RVC says, by avoiding excessive treats and giving them lots of exercise. 

    Worryingly, research has shown that obese dogs have shortened life spans, reduced quality of life and higher frequencies of some significant health conditions including arthritis, breathing problems, heart disease, diabetes and certain types of cancer. 

    The three breeds at highest risk of obesity are pug, beagle and golden retriever (top) while the lowest risk breeds are shih tzu, German shepherd and Yorkshire terrier (bottom)
