Hola quarantino-rinos, Depending on where you’re at, we’re about six weeks into the general global shelter-in-place order and I gotta tell you: I’ve had about enough of it. I know, I know. We’ve all got to chin up and see this thing through so that we can return to whatever the new normal is going to be. Mostly, I just miss sports. Technology’s managed to give us a decent replacement for nearly every other entertainment experience we’re missing – multiplayer gaming used to mean going to the arcade and watching a new movie meant going to the video rental store or theater – but not live sports....

Mike and Karen Taylor were traveling around Australia in a camper van when they fell for the online scam. The cryptocurrency website they used looked legitimate, Taylor told 7News. It’s not clear how the scam operated, but presumably, the couple invested money on the website enticed by the promise of high returns. Eventually the couple invested a total of $900,000 drawing on their pension program. In a matter of months it had all disappeared, with no return....

The rally comes hours after PayPal revealed it would soon support buying, selling, and holding BTC, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash. Today’s Bitcoin’s price peak means the world’s most popular cryptocurrency has now eclipsed gold and silver to become the best performing of the three “commodities” over the past year.[Read: PayPal to support Bitcoin and other crypto — but merchants must use fiat] BTC is today up 55% since October 21, 2019, while silver and gold are respectively up 40% and 27% over the same period....

[Read: UK takes next step toward world of e-scooters, self-driving cars, and autonomous drones] In a press release spotted yesterday by Autocar, the German automaker subtly announced that it would be launching a fully electric 7 Series. The luxury sedan will be offered with four different drivetrains, petrol, diesel, hybrid, and fully electric. Although, we hope the performance of the all-electric version to eclipse its internal combustion alternatives in power and emissions....

The rule is being enforced to push some of the worst polluting methods of transport away from dirty diesel engines and toward cleaner alternatives such as electricity and hydrogen power. The rule is just the latest in a series of conditions that will need to be met before 2045. [Read: Will the Lordstown Endurance electric truck beat the Tesla Cybertruck and Rivian R1T to market?] The California Air Resources Board (CARB) will require all new trucks and vans sold in the state to be electric from 2045....

California’s Supreme Court has declined to hear a lawsuit seeking to overturn the results of November’s Prop 22 ballot – which exempted gig workers from a key California labor law. The lawsuit, filed by a number of rideshare drivers and the Service Employees International Union, alleged that Prop 22 violates the state’s constitution and makes it harder for the legislature to create and enforce a compensation system for gig workers....

The so-called Metro — of which we got a sneak peek in the very first Season 6 trailer — will also become the fastest way to move across the map, according to Polygon. From the looks of it, there’ll be seven stations in Verdansk, with virtually identical design so you don’t have to worry about getting lost each time. The Metro system will operate underground, and each station will have areas where players can board trains in their desired direction — clockwise or counterclockwise....

This year both companies have tried to up the camera game in their own way. Vivo went with a large main sensor, a gimbal-stabilized ultra-wide-angle sensor, and a telescope zoom sensor. While OnePlus bet big on improved color science and a “natural look” through its partnership with Hasselblad. I got a chance to pit these very able snappers against each other for their still photography prowess. Before we talk about how they fared, let’s take a look at their camera specifications....

Phosphine, a toxic gas made up of one phosphorus and three hydrogen atoms (PH₃), commonly produced by organic life forms but otherwise difficult to make on rocky planets, was discovered in the middle layer of the Venus atmosphere. This raises the tantalizing possibility that something is alive on our planetary neighbor. With this discovery, Venus joins the exalted ranks of Mars and the icy moons Enceladus and Europa among planetary bodies where life may once have existed, or perhaps might even still do so today....

Just like everything else in the digital space, video editing and the process of creating video for websites and social media has transformed mightily in the past decade. While some hardcores want all the tools and features for cutting a Hollywood blockbuster on their MacBook Pro, most have significantly more modest goals. They want to capture a video from a webpage and share it. Or paste together two iPhone videos and upload it to YouTube....

The news, via a report by 9to5Google, comes out of left field, considering Pei had so far only teased upcoming earbuds from his new company. While the idea that Nothing might be considering getting into smartphones isn’t surprising considering Pei’s pedigree, using the Essential brand for it would certainly be unexpected. Of course, we don’t actually know what Nothing plans to do with the Essential brand, but considering the latter is only known for its phones, that seems likely....

In other words, it makes it ridiculously easy for you to sound like Daft Punk. Traditionally, getting that kind of effect requires an expensive vocoder or hooking up your system to a PC to run through software. It’s not the type of thing you see built right into a keyboard—especially since you don’t even need to even use your voice. It’s even rarer at a price of $450. The CT-S1000V’s vocal synthesizer features 22 types of voices, “including talkboxes, processed choirs, robot voices, vocoders, and whispered voices,” and these can all be customized with a range of parameters including gender, age, vibrato....

Yes, friends, you read that correctly. The humble compact disc has been unloved for far too long. And I’m here to change that. And your opinion. After this you’ll no longer view CDs as a boring bit of old technology. Instead, you’ll view them as a medium we should all value and throw ourselves at the feet of. Probably. I’m not in control of your mind. Whatever. Anyway, I’ve gone in so hard on CDs I’ve even made a video about it....

Temperatures in the city where I live, Delhi, can be really extreme. In summer, the mercury rises above 45-degrees Celcius. and in winter, it drops to below 5-degrees Celcius. Plus, most homes here lack central temperature control systems. So, we have to rely on fans, ACs, and portable heaters. So, when I found out that Dyson’s refurbished HP01 Pure Hot + Cool Desk Purifier is selling for just $169.99 – down from $449 – I jumped with joy....

The Samsung Galaxy S10 is an excellent phone. It just is. It gets the basics right. The screen is big and vivid, and yet the phone itself is reasonably compact, making it easy to grasp. The S10 offers an insane amount of real estate thanks to its holepunch design. The two front-facing selfie cameras are rich and precise, while the constellation of rear-facing cameras produce some uniquely amazing quality shots....

New mobile tab layout Chrome’s old tab-switcher stacked tabs on top of each other like a pack of cards in Solitare.

First, a word of warning…don’t ever Google for images of cotton swabs in ears. While it seems harmless enough, there are some graphic pictures that can show exactly what happens if you defy the advice of doctors and go rogue on your ear cleaning tools. Putting the gruesome aftermath of a cotton swab related ear accident aside, think about what that swab is actually doing when you’re trying to clean your ears....
