The C919 is a relatively new narrow-body jet built by the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China, or COMAC for short. It’s also apparently the beneficiary (and to some degree, the result) of massive hacking operations undertaken by the Chinese government and a government-affiliated hacking group, dubbed Turbine Panda. A major report by the infosec security company Crowdstrike lays out the details, and it doesn’t mince words. The opening paragraph of the report states: Short of kicking down the door just as a cyber actor pushes enter, it is frustratingly hard to prove who is responsible for cyber attacks with 100% certainty.
Toss another body on the burn pile. During the same event in which it launched the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL, Google killed off the Daydream VR platform. Neither of the new devices is compatible with the Daydream VR and Google stopped selling the Daydream View today. According to Google, Daydream VR failed to catch on with consumers, as has smartphone VR in general. To be honest, the writing has been on the wall for Daydream for quite some time. The Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL don’t support it, Hulu dropped support last month, and Google shut down both the Spotlight Stories VR studio and the Daydream Play Movies application earlier this year.
Google unveiled its , after weeks of leaks (both unintentional and intentional) that may have served to dampen the impact of what’s really an exciting leap in phone tech. The two Android 10 devices ditch the screen notches (hooray!) and are packed with machine learning and sensor tech, including a radar sensor that can detect precise motion and sip power while it does so. Both phones are almost identical, in fact; let’s start with the smaller Pixel 4. It measures 5.7 by 2.7 by 0.3 inches HWD) and weighs 5.7 ounces (162 grams). It features 5.7-inch FHD+ OLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate and the ability to adjust to ambient lighting conditions with a feature called Ambient Q.
If you’re a fan of Apple products then today is your lucky day. Amazon is offering Apple’s MacBook Air and Apple Watch Series 4 both with significant discounts. Apple’s MacBook Air was designed to be exceptionally lightweight at 2.75 pounds. It also has a high-quality 2560×1600 display, and Apple built the system out of durable 6000 series aluminum. If you would like to buy one of these systems with the smaller 128GB SSD, you can get it marked down from $1,099.00 to $899.99 at Amazon. Today only, you can get Panasonic’s Lumix G7 digital mirrorless camera marked down from $999.99 to just $497.99 from Amazon.
Earlier this year, famed underwater explorer Robert Ballard wrapped up a search for the wreckage of Amelia Earhart’s Lockheed Electra on the remote Pacific island of Nikumaroro — without finding the plane. But a new line of inquiry has opened in the search that has the potential to answer whether Earhart landed on the island just as decisively as the finding of the aircraft: Her bones may have been located after being lost in the chaos of WW2. I’ve previously written a into Earhart and the mystery of her disappearance. If you’re looking for additional detail on the topic, start there.

If you’ve ever peeked inside a modern electronic gizmo, you know that circuit boards are getting deviously complex. You simply can’t rely on humans to assemble these devices anymore, but even robots are nearing their limits. Researchers at have developed a new technology that could help robots , and they call it an electroadhesive stamp. Some modern devices contain chips and other components no wider than a human hair, and there’s still a drive to make circuit boards even denser. Robots can place these objects with incredible precision, but a traditional grasper can’t manipulate anything smaller than roughly 50-100 micrometers.
All rumors should be taken with a grain of salt. This one should be taken with a lot of salt. If I didn’t think it was at least possible I wouldn’t be discussing it, but I think it’s important to make that point upfront. According to the German site HardwareLuxx, Intel has canceled all of its 10nm desktop CPUs. 10nm, 10nm+, and 10nm++ will all be mobile and server parts, while desktop chips will supposedly remain on 14nm until 7nm chips are ready in 2022, with the advent of a new chip, Meteor Lake. The website states, “From insider circles we have received some exclusive information about future desktop processors from Intel.
