Amazon text scam

iOS 14.6 new features

After rolling out beta releases for four months between the release of iOS 14.4 and iOS 14.5, Apple stepped on the gas with its latest update, launching iOS 14.6 to the general public just four weeks after iOS 14.5 arrived.

If it seems like SpaceX launches have gotten a bit, well, boring lately it's probably because so many of them go off without a hitch.

In fact, the SpaceX Starlink launch that is scheduled to take place today, May 26th, 2021, will be the 100th consecutive successful Falcon 9 launch, assuming all goes as planned.

The Effervescent Everyday: Mindy Rose Schwartz at Interstate Projects

May 26, 2021

Small, visibly handmade sculptures comprising crafty materials—polymer clay, store-bought felt, fake pearls—are having a moment: see works by emerging artists like Em Kettner, Sean-Kierre Lyons, and Jenine Marsh.

Mindy Rose Schwartz, a professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, is something of the progenitor, having made work in this vein since at least the 1990s.

The Best Artist Chamois for Blending, Cleaning, and More

May 26, 2021

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, we may receive an affiliate commission

Blend, buff, and clean up with an artist chamois—a piece of porous animal skin that is supple and absorbent. Unlike paper towels that disintegrate or terry cloth rags that get encrusted with paint, a chamois is the perfect natural wipe-up tool. This fine-fibered porous leather, commonly sold in pieces measuring about 5 by 7 inches, can absorb a lot of water and catches hard-to-reach debris. It’s also handy for blending chalk, charcoal, and graphite on paper without abrasion—an ...

This iOS app forces you to leave a positive review before you can use it

May 26, 2021

app store scam

We've all experienced bad app design in the form of obnoxious review requests. It's super annoying to use an app once or twice and then, the next time you tap the icon, you see a big box begging you to leave a review. Sure, it might get your attention, but usually not in a good way. If the app was incredible you might say something nice, but if you didn't absolutely love everything about it, odds are the review prompt would just sour you even more.

One app maker decided to take make things even more annoying by holding ...

French authorities are investigating whether the Russian government is behind an effort to spread dangerous lies about Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine as part of a disinformation campaign peddled to French bloggers and influencers.

In recent days, several French influencers have publicly notedreceiving partnership proposals from a dodgy agency, called Fazze, over email or social media.

Apple had to delay its iPhone 12 launch event by a whole month, and the four iPhone 12 models were released in two stages. First came the iPhone 12 and iPhone 12 Pro in late October, and then Apple's mini and Pro Max models hit store shelves in mid-November last year.

Video: Samsung shows off the tech behind its 108MP ISOCELL HM3 image sensor

May 26, 2021

One of the highlight features in Samsung's latest flagship smartphone, the Galaxy S21 Ultra, is understandably its 108MP primary image sensor. Alongside differences in display and form factor, the 108MP image sensor is a key differentiator between the S21 Ultra and the regular Galaxy S21.

The image sensor used for the S21 Ultra's 108MP main camera is a Samsung ISOCELL HM3 sensor. Samsung released a video this week outlining the image sensor and what makes it unique. While the video is, at least partly, marketing material, it nonetheless sparks interesting conversations about the impressive photographic technology in Samsung's ...

The United States is the most bellicose nation in the history of humankind.

The U.S. cannot suddenly decide to be pacifistic, but it can stop selling weapons into places ...

Sesame Raises Another $24M for its Direct Pay HealthcareMarketplace That Connects Physicians and Patients

May 26, 2021

Despite the United States spending more per capita on healthcare, life expectancies are the same or worse as compared to other developed nations. One of the reasons that outcomes are not better is the organizations that sit between doctors and patients, mainly in the form of insurance companies and healthcare institutions. This added layer creates a compounded principal-agent problem where the best treatment and options for patients may not be used as they are not necessarily in the best financial interest of the other stakeholders.

While the scope of the investigation is still being determined, the European Commission, the bloc’s executive arm, has queried Facebook and its competitors on at least three separate occasions. Those questions aimed to determine whether, in pushing Marketplace on its users, Facebook abused its market power.

May 26, 2021

Anything can serve as a support for Karimah Ashadu’s camera. The artist and filmmaker attaches her device to bodies and machines, granting viewers unconventional perspectives.

A Close Shave: Skin Fade Haircuts Explained

May 26, 2021

Fades have come to define contemporary men’s hair. So much so that they’re pretty much the default setting whenever a barber approaches a short haircut. They come in many shapes and forms – taper fades, high fades, low fades and drop fades to name a few – but the skin fade (also sometimes called a ‘bald fade’) is the most visually dramatic.

With its surgical precision and razor-sharp detail, it’s the perfect way to bring classic cutsup to date and can be added to any short or mid-length style you could think of. Pompadours, crops, ...
