Samsung's Incubator Lab Is Making Indoor Sunlight and a Robot Friend That Definitely Won't Murder You
Posted in: Today's ChiliSamsung’s in-house incubator program, Creative Lab, has developed a reputation for brewing off-the-wall innovations it feels like few people, if any, asked for. Since opening its doors in 2012, it’s spawned projects like a 360-degree wearable camcorder, an AI-driven desk lamp, and a recording app specifically geared…

Earlier this year, Tesla’s CEO Elon Musk had hinted that video streaming platforms such as Netflix and YouTube would soon be coming to Tesla vehicles. Given that you can already play games on Tesla’s infotainment system, we suppose it’s not a stretch to think that you would also be able to stream video as well.
With Disney Plus being the new kid on the block, would Tesla let users stream from there as well? Turns out that Musk is on board with the idea as well. When asked about whether or not Disney Plus would find its way into Tesla cars, Musk replied that it would be “coming soon”, but stopped short of actually providing a date for its release and availability.
That being said, we have to wonder about how wise it would be to include such entertainment features in cars. This is because it will only lead to distracted driving, although presumably there are safeguards in place that prevent it from being streamed while the car is in motion. However, it also does highlight how far our car designs have come over the years.
Coming soon
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 26, 2019
For example, our cars are starting to become increasingly connected where some of them even come with their own mobile internet plans. In any case, if you are a Tesla owner looking forward to Disney Plus, check back with us at a later date for more updates.

LG Unveils New Lineup Of Soundbars
Posted in: Today's Chili
The problem with your regular speaker designs is that they can be bulky. If you don’t have a particularly huge living room or if you want to place it in your bedroom, then it can take up precious space. This is where soundbars come in, where due to their more slim design, they can be easily placed under your TV, thus taking up less room.
If you are in the market for a new soundbar, LG has certainly not disappointed as the company has officially announced a new lineup of soundbars ahead of CES 2020. There will be several models to choose from, although the company stopped short of providing the technical details behind the speakers.
However, they will all feature Meridian Audio’s technology, thanks to LG’s continued partnership with the company. There will also be new features, such as AI Room Calibration, which as the name suggests, will help to tailor the sound coming out from the speakers based on the characteristics of the room.
According to Park Hyung-woo, head of LG Home Entertainment Company’s audio and video business, “Our goal has always been to bring better sound to more people and by offering more great products that leverage our successful partnership with Meridian, our latest soundbars help achieve this. High-performance, convenient and very versatile, LG’s newest models will make the premium audio experience accessible to more customers worldwide.”
Availability and pricing have yet to be confirmed, but LG will be showing off their new soundbar speakers at CES 2020.

While Samsung has typically used glass covers for its displays on its smartphones, the company took a different approach with the Galaxy Fold. The company instead opted for a plastic screen to help make it more flexible during the folding process. The downside is that over time, this can result in creases.
However, according to a tweet by Ice Universe, he is claiming that for the next-gen Galaxy Fold, apparently Samsung will be switching to a glass cover instead of plastic. The leakster also claims that as a result of using glass, it will result in a device that is flatter and has less wrinkles than its predecessor, although we have to wonder about durability.
It is believed that Samsung is working on a new Galaxy Fold device. Ice Universe had previously shared leaked images suggesting that there could be a new change in design, where it would adopt a clamshell design similar to that of the Motorola Razr. Samsung had also previously showed off similar concept images so it’s not exactly a surprise.
It can be confirmed that the Galaxy Fold2 leaked not long ago will use an ultra-thin glass cover for the first time in the world, replacing plastic materials. The screen looks flatter and has less wrinkles. In fact, this is the correct cover material for foldable phones. pic.twitter.com/BS73BCsA4N

That being said, we believe that this could simply be another variant of the Galaxy Fold instead of being its true successor, but whether or not that is true remains to be seen. Until we can get the official confirmation, do take it with a grain of salt for now.

At the moment, PCs thoroughly and utterly dominate the eSports scene. While there are definitely Mac gamers, due to the fact that PCs are more modular and easier to upgrade, it’s not surprising that many professional gamers choose PCs over Mac computers when it comes to gaming.
Now according to a rather bizarre rumor from Patently Apple, they are claiming that based on reports coming out of Taiwan, apparently Apple is looking to jump into the gaming scene by launching game-centric Mac computers in 2020. At the moment, Apple’s higher-end iMacs and MacBook Pros are capable of gaming to a certain extent.
However, a quick look at the benchmarks will reveal that they aren’t necessarily the best or most powerful when it comes to gaming, and this is apparently an area Apple wants to address. The rumor claims that this will be a high-end gaming device priced around $5,000 (similar to the base price of the Mac Pro), and could either come in the form of an AIO or a gaming laptop.
Like we said, it seems a bit bizarre that Apple would launch such a device as the company has never really been one to cater to the gaming market. Needless to say that this should be taken with a huge dose of salt for now, but hopefully we’ll have more details in the future.
