General Motors hopes the 2020 XT6 will be the Cadillac of premium midsize SUVs. It’s the third and largest in the newish XT series of SUVs. The XT6 rides well, the center stack isn’t confusing, and the cockpit trim is tasteful. On the downside, the XT6 is hampered by a too-small center-stack display, not enough noise-damping when you tromp the throttle, and poor luggage space with the third row in use. The XT6 will be challenged to compete against a reinvigorated Lincoln and the Aviator SUV; the usual suspects from Audi, BMW, Infiniti, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, and Volvo; and the unusual twin suspects of the dazzling and Kia Telluride that are punching far above their weight.
Apple spends a lot of time talking about how much it respects your privacy, casting Google as an invasive plight on the common user. However, security researcher Brian Krebs (of Krebs On Security fame) has demonstrated that the iPhone 11 Pro still even when all the location access toggles are turned off. Apple says this is “expected behavior,” but it’s a misleading setup at the very least. Apple has long offered granular control of notification access, and it expanded those controls in iOS 8 a few years back. Apple notes in its privacy policy that you can stop the system from collecting your location by going to the privacy menu and disabling the location services toggle or by toggling off all the individual options under the “Location Services” submenu.

The Los Angeles Auto Show/Automobility last month was a coming-out party for EVs targeting the US market, currently still below 2 percent of sales. Audi, BMW, Hyundai, Mercedes, Toyota, Volkswagen, and others announced or showcased electric and electrified vehicles. All were overshadowed by the introductions of the Ford Mustang Mach-E and the Tesla Cybertruck. But will these two controversial, high-profile vehicles set off a rush toward EVs? They will generate heated discussion. The Mach-E should do well, as well as an EV can do circa 2021. There are lots of questions about the viability of an electric pickup truck, how much pickup buyers are seduced by the Tesla name, whether Tesla can turn any profit on Cybertruck, and if the wedge design will be changed as it moves toward production.
Scientists have found many truly massive black holes in the cosmos, some of which weigh in at millions of billions of times the mass of our sun. These monsters lurk at the heart of galaxies like the and , but smaller stellar-mass black holes can be anyplace. Astronomers have spotted one of these black holes in our galactic backyard, but it’s a bit heftier than it ought to be. In fact, it by sitting between the stellar mass and supermassive varieties. The mystery started when a team led by Jifeng Liu, deputy director-general of the National Astronomical Observatories of China, spotted a star called LB-1 a mere 13,800 light-years away.

The company’s new Snapdragon 865 SoC will power high-end phones in 2020, but it . Instead, Qualcomm announced its first integrated 5G chip will be the more modest Snapdragon 765. Qualcomm hasn’t announced the design details — it’s spending the first day of its Snapdragon Summit talking about how it will position its next-gen chips.

There’s a new 5G network in the US starting today, and you might actually be able to get a signal on it. T-Mobile has flipped the switch on its “nationwide” 5G network a bit earlier than expected. It calls this a nationwide network to differentiate this type of 5G from the millimeter-wave signal the company rolled out last summer. , but it won’t offer the same blazing-fast speeds we’ve seen on previous 5G deployments. All four US carriers have deployed some millimeter-wave 5G because the first round of modems focused mainly on those bands. Only AT&T and Verizon have been keen to sing the praises of millimeter wave, showing off speed tests that cross into the gigabit range.
