Addressing all the damage is going to take more than money — it’s going to take new laws and a deeper understanding of how our climate crisis came to fruition.
Scientists in China have found a new virus that has likely made dozens of people sick since 2018 and may be natively carried by shrews. The discovery is the latest reminder that microbes spread from animals to people represent an ever-present potential public health threat. So far, at least, the evidence suggests…
The heart of the argument for NFT evangelists has always been the sense they were democratizing the world of art and commerce. Artists, they said, would be able to use a digital proof of ownership to make money off digital sales. So, what should happen when a major company known for predatory practices—such as, for…
Starlink can’t count on a flood of government subsidies to help expand its satellite internet service. The FCC has rejected the SpaceX unit’s bid to receive $885.5 million in aid through the Rural Digital Opportunity Fund. The broadband provider “failed to demonstrate” that it could deliver the claimed service, according to a statement.
FCC chair Jessica Rosenworcel said Starlink had “real promise,” but suggested her agency couldn’t justify 10 years of subsidies for “developing technology” that requires a $600 satellite dish. She added that the FCC needed to make the most of “scarce” funding for broadband expansion.
SpaceX won its bid in December 2020 through an auction. At the time, it said it would use the subsidies to serve 35 locations. It also promised prices in sync with terrestrial broadband, and that it would meet “periodic” service buildout requirements.
LTD Broadband, a fixed wireless provider, netted over $1.3 billion in that auction and also lost its bid today. That company was not “reasonably capable” of deploying the required internet service after it lost qualifying statuses in seven states, the FCC said.
We’ve asked SpaceX for comment. The denial isn’t a fatal blow to the company’s plans, but it makes clear that Starlink will have to rely on its own funding if it’s going to expand as outlined in 2020. The FCC’s move might also serve as a warning to other would-be fund recipients. While the Commission is eager to improve rural broadband, it won’t grant money to internet providers without some close scrutiny.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carried an additional 52 Starlink satellites to low Earth orbit on Tuesday night, raising the total number of Starlinks launched by the company to a whopping 3,009.
So far this week in our exclusive preview of Titan’s Kamen Rider 01 comic, we’ve given you a glimpse of what to expect out of the legendary franchise’s western comics adventures, and a tease of a sinister new villain. But for those not already familiar with the man behind the Reiwa era’s first Rider, how about a look…
The Galaxy Z Flip family is probably the most successful foldable to date in terms of unit volume and broad appeal. Its $999 price makes it more affordable in that space, and it has generated universal interest from all kinds of users in our experience.
The new Galaxy Z Flip 4 will push this concept even higher with improvements across the board: display, design, camera, compute power, and battery.
Since the series is praised for its aesthetics, let’s start with that. Thanks to the new polished aluminum rails and hinge, the chassis design looks more luxurious. The finish is much nicer and slightly smaller than previously, giving it an iconic look when closed.
The overall design language preserves the overall look and feel of the Z Flip, but the new flatter surfaces give it an edgy, modern, and refreshing appearance. Samsung has also improved its production workflow, which opens the door for more colors and color combinations with Samsung’s customizable Bespoke Z Flip 4.
In the back, the rear camera system has been significantly upgraded with a larger primary camera sensor closer to the recent Galaxy S Fan Edition 12MP, 1.8-micron pixel size, and OIS. The Ultrawide camera will help capture larger-than-life scenery, and the Selfie camera might feature a 10MP resolution but still beats all laptop webcams we’ve seen to date – great for your video calls.
This new phone has a 1.9” cover screen used to access notifications, widgets, Samsung Pay, and even to send text messages. I mostly use it for notifications and selfies, though.
Upon opening it, you will see the 6.7” FHD+ 120Hz display with excellent imaging performance and a 45% increase in durability, says Samsung.
Inside, you’ll find a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, which is a lot of computing power for such a compact phone. Depending on the model, there’s 8GB of RAM with 128-512GB of storage.
This computing hardware is fed by a larger 3700 mAh battery (vs. 3300 before) which is an appreciable 15% increase in capacity, which is technically impressive since the chassis is smaller. Additionally, it features wireless charging and 25W fast-charging, nearly twice as fast as the Z Flip 3 (read our Galaxy Z Flip 3 review).
The new Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 4 features a critical number of improvements that matter to the user experience, and we’re confident that Z Flip 3 owners are already salivating at the idea of upgrading.
The phone is already in pre-order status and will be widely available on August 26 from Samsung, Verizon, AT&T, US Cellular, T-Mobile, and others.
