When you’re sick and you go to the doctor, they might take your temperature. This is because a rise in your body’s temperature, especially above a certain degree, could indicate that you have a fever. Especially in today’s pandemic, a fever could be a sign that you might have caught the coronavirus.

Having a thermometer on your person all the time isn’t necessarily practical, plus it looks weird if you’re constantly pulling it out to take your temp, but that could change with the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5. According to a report from Korean publication ETNews, it seems that Samsung has figured out a way to include a body temperature sensor in the wearable.

Now, one of the problems with these types of sensors is that when worn on the wrist, it might not be too accurate simply because your body temperature can be affected by other non-illness related factors, such as the weather or if you just finished a workout. The report claims that this is one of the reasons Samsung had held back on including the sensor in its previous wearables.

However, they now claim that Samsung has since refined the tech and it will be able to provide much more accurate measurements. It is unclear how this will work, but assuming it’s true, it could be a rather useful feature to have in a smartwatch that you wear all the time.

Months after announcing their purposed $43 billion merger, WarnerMedia and Discovery have answered what will happen to HBO Max and Discovery Plus once they form the imaginatively named Warner Bros. Discovery. Per Variety, Discovery chief financial officer Gunnar Wiedenfels said during a recent panel at the 30th Annual Media, Internet and Telecom Conference that the company plans to combine the two platforms into one unified streaming service.

“One of the most important items here is that we believe in a combined product as opposed to a bundle,” he said. “We believe that the breadth and depth of this content offering is going to be a phenomenal consumer value proposition.”

Merging the two platforms is something Wiedenfels said he expects will take a few months for Warner Bros. Discovery to “do it in a way that’s actually a great user experience for our subscribers.” In the meantime, HBO Max and Discovery Plus customers should expect at least some form of bundling. 

Wiedenfels suggested that could take the form of content sharing between the two platforms and the introduction of a single sign-on. One question the executive didn’t answer is how much it will cost to subscribe to the new combined service. Discovery Plus and HBO Max currently start at $5 and $10 per month, with both platforms offering more expensive ad-free tiers.

It’s not surprising to learn that Discovery and TimeWarner plan to unify their streaming platforms. When the merger was first announced last year, it was positioned as a move that would make the two companies better able to compete with Netflix, Disney+ and other rivals.

It has been a while since we last saw a new Silent Hill game. Several years ago, it was revealed that legendary producer Hideo Kojima was working on a new game for Konami and a playable demo was released. However, it was later shelved and Kojima left to form his own studio and developed Death Stranding.

This left many to wonder what would become of the franchise after that. We did hear back in 2020 that new Silent Hill games were in development, and now according to Redditor LongJonSilver, it seems that we could be getting close to seeing a revival as Konami has updated the trademarks to the franchise.

Now, the trademarks themselves don’t really tell us what we might be able to expect. It is entirely possible that they might simply be updated to better protect Konami’s intellectual property and that’s it, but then again, why would the company go to that effort for a franchise that they don’t plan to update or continue, right?

It is unclear when we might be able to learn more about a new Silent Hill game, but like we said, following the rumors in 2020 that new games are in development, hopefully fans of the series won’t have to wait too long before Konami has some news to share with us.

The Senate majority whip said the Fox News host “should be ashamed of himself.”

In new research out Monday, scientists say they’ve found evidence that our immune system appears more prone to inflammation and other metabolic changes in the aftermath of even a mild case of covid-19. More research will be needed to understand how these changes could be linked to post-covid symptoms, however.
