The majority of galaxies have a supermassive black hole at their core. And, like our own Milky Way version, most of these black holes are relatively quiet. However, a minority of supermassive black holes are incredibly active, consuming dust, gas, an…

Rop mogul Jay-Z is going to release this thirteenth solo album later this month. You might be expecting that it would be an exclusive release for Tidal, the music streaming service that’s owned by Jay-Z himself, and you wouldn’t be wrong. The rap mogul’s fans will be able to stream the new Jay-Z album online via Tidal starting June 30th. The new album is titled 4:44.

This is Jay-Z’s first solo album since Magna Carta Holy Grail which was released four years ago. It goes without saying that his fans will be anxiously waiting to hear the music that he has cooked up in these past few years.

It’s obviously not surprising to see that Jay-Z is making his new album exclusive to Tidal, even though there are other music streaming services out there that have a significantly larger user base than Tidal.

Exclusive releases are one of the ways with which music streaming services bring in new subscribers. Plenty of Jay-Z fans who haven’t subscribed to Tidal as yet will do so on June 30th when the new Jay-Z album drops.

Tidal subscribers will be able to stream the album exclusively starting June 30th. It’s also going to be available to Sprint subscribers. Tidal has said that 4:44 is the first of many exclusive releases that will be available to Sprint customers as well.

If you’re wondering why Tidal is being so generous with Sprint, that’s because Tidal sold 33 percent of the streaming service to Sprint for $200 million a few months back.

You may remember that Tesla co-founder and CEO Elon Musk recently came up with the idea of boring tunnels under the surface to ease up the flow of traffic on the roads above. He liked this idea so much that he started a new company aptly called The Boring Company and has since showcased his vision for underground tunnels. Something of this sort can obviously not be achieved without having the city onboard. Musk has been talking about this idea with the city officials in Los Angeles and he says that those talks have been “promising.”

Musk said that he has had “promising conversations” about this idea with Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti. The mayor didn’t say who well the talks have been progressing in an interview with ABC, but he appears to be open to the idea.

The Boring Company aims to create a grid of high-speed tunnels underground which will be used to transport cars and people. Musk previously shared a rendering of what this entire system could look like in real life.

The idea is to ease up traffic congestion above ground by shifting cars and people underground. It’s a strategy that has worked well for decades with subway lines but it’s going to be another feat altogether making it work with cars of different shapes and sizes.

Whether or not LA is ever going to give the go-ahead for a project of this sort remains to be seen.

Promising conversations with @MayorOfLA regarding tunnel network that would carry cars, bikes & pedestrians. Permits harder than technology. https://t.co/0dxrXBOOWy

Take-Two has rapidly been closing down GTA Online mods and the community isn’t liking it one bit. Rockstar’s parent company recently decided to ban the GTA 5 OpenIV mod and the community is now putting up a united front in its demand for the mod to be brought back. The community has crashed GTA 5’s review score on Stream by leaving tons of negative reviews in protest.

OpenIV was a multi-purpose editor and archive manager for GTA 5 on PC. It was a very popular mod for the title. It was banned because Rockstar believes that it enables malicious mods that have recently been making the rounds.

The community isn’t ready to believe Rockstar’s explanation, or see that several other mods that allow for cheating and griefing online have been shut down as well. Players are united in their demand for the mod to be unbanned.

A Change.org petition has already been started to “Save OpenIV.” It mentions that the closing of this mod leaves “10,000s” of players without being able to mod their games, something that has long been associated with the Grand Theft Auto series. It has only been five days since this petition was launched and it already has more than 50,000 signatures.

To get its point across to Rockstar, the community has also been downvoting Grand Theft Auto 5 on Steam in protest. Whether or not this will be enough for Rockstar to change its position on the matter remains to be seen.

Users are down-voting GTA V like crazy. Never mess with the mods 🙂 pic.twitter.com/EOIVIOVimb

It has been a couple of months since Samsung launched the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+. As we’ve seen in the past couple of years, the company comes out with an “Active” variant of the new flagship a few months later. Over the past few weeks, we have heard rumors and reports about the Galaxy S8 Active even though it hasn’t been announced as yet by the company. The Galaxy S8 Active has now been spotted listed on Samsung’s own website.

The Galaxy S8 Active bearing model number SM-G892A has been mentioned in a document that’s available on Samsung’s website. The document details all of the apps that this handset is going to ship with when it’s ultimately released.

Given that this document has emerged on Samsung’s website now, it may only be a matter of time before Samsung officially unveils the Galaxy S8 Active.

As has been the case with previous Active devices, it’s quite likely that the Galaxy S8 Active will be an AT&T exclusive in the United States as well. No other carrier in the country sells it except AT&T.

Recent leaks suggest that the Galaxy S8 Active is going to have a flat 5.8 inch display, an Exynos 8895 processor with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, a body that’s durable to the MIL-STD-810G standard as well as a slightly larger battery than the 3,500mAh cell found in the Galaxy S8+.

No word as yet on the pricing and release date.
