Eight Super-Thin Phone Cases (for Your iPhone 11 or Samsung Galaxy S20) That Fit Like a Glove
Posted in: Today's ChiliI was once a case hater. I never put any protection on my phone, because I couldn’t stand to cover up the sleek design, and I didn’t want to add any unnecessary bulk. These days, I’ve changed my tune a bit—I’m a bit older and clumsier, and I’ve got kids whose every kick lands on my balls or on my phone pocket. To give…

Boiling water using high temperatures is pretty much the way that is known by everyone, because this is what we do when we use a kettle to make hot water for our tea and coffee, or when we put a pot over a fire to boil water to make soups and stews. However, it seems that scientists at at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory based in Stanford University have come up with a new way: sound.
By using SLAC’s powerful X-ray laser, it seems that these scientists have managed to generate an underwater sound that is so loud that it instantly vaporizes water. Given that water molecules tend to move with increased speed when heated, it actually makes sense that a sound wave that is loud enough could achieve the same effect. If you’ve ever placed a cup of water near a subwoofer and seen it ripple, then this is the same concept, except magnified many, many times over.
According to the researchers, to achieve this level of sound, the sound pressure equivalent in this experiment was at 270 decibels. This makes it louder than a rocket launch and equal to the intensity of direct all electrical power from an entire city into one spot. At this point, it will also be capable of potentially rupturing your heart as well as your lungs. This experiment also goes on to set a threshold for how intense sound can be in the water.
Scientists Create A Sound So Loud That It Can Instantly Boil Water

Ideally you would want to create and use a different and complicated password for each and every single account you have, but it’s not always practical as it can be difficult to remember. This is why it’s not surprising that many people tend to use passwords that are too simple, or reuse passwords across multiple accounts.
To help prevent that from happening, Mozilla has recently released the latest update for its Firefox browser in which it will come with improved security features. This includes the ability to detect when a password you’re using might have been part of a leak, or if you’re using a password that is identical to a breach.
For example, if you’re using “123456” as your password (and we’re hoping you’re not), and that password is part of a breach of a website where someone else is using that same password, it will let you know. This is because it might be easier to figure out someone’s username, which can sometimes be as straightforward as their email address, than their password.
Mozilla reassures users that Firefox will not actually know your password, but simply checks your encrypted passwords against a database of known breached websites and accounts. That being said, while this is a welcome feature, you can always create strong passwords and manage them by using a password manager, and you can check out our guide on how to do so.
Firefox Will Now Warn Users Of Leaked And Reused Passwords

Cellphone Towers In Canada Are Being Set On Fire over 5G Conspiracy Theories
Posted in: Today's Chili
There have always been long-standing concerns about the radio waves that are being emitted by our devices, especially from our cellphones. However, it seems that these concerns have been amplified with the launch of 5G, where there have been conspiracy theories that are linking 5G to various health issues.
So much so that some people are actually actively taking matters into their own hands, where according to reports, a small town in Quebec, Canada has experienced an incident where several cellphone towers have been set on fire over allegations that 5G is somehow linked to the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, it seems that these particular cellphone towers located in Prevost does not even have 5G capabilities to begin with, meaning that the attack on these towers did not even make sense. According to a spokesperson for the town, it appears that many residents in the area have been talking about conspiracy theories that have linked 5G to the pandemic, which presumably has resulted in some people trying to take matters into their own hands.
This is not the first time we’re hearing about cellphone towers being attacked. Back in April, there was a report of how 5G towers were being vandalized and set on fire in the UK over similar health concerns that were based on these conspiracy theories.
