Launch Byte, and you’ll find all the usual trappings of video capture apps. There’s your feed with constantly looping six-second videos, an Explore page where you can look at other accounts, an Activity page with the usual “like” and “follow” notifications, a personal profile page and, of course, the center camera button, which is what…

The existing understanding of the disease only indicates that symptoms tend to materialize between the ages of 30 and 50, not which symptoms and how they’ll evolve.The researchers are “optimistic” that a single MRI scan could produce more accurate estimates of functional decline across multiple categories. It wouldn’t result in better treatment by itself, but…
I interviewed Jake Elliott at GDC 2013, in between the debut of acts one and two, and I asked him about the game’s release schedule, its themes and its ending. Seven years later and on the eve of the final episode’s launch, I read bits of this interview back to the Cardboard Computer team.Here, Elliott…
The bill, introduced by Democrat Rebecca White, would allow drivers to add one of six emoji to their license plates. The pictographs would be in addition to whatever combination of letters and numbers the state’s Commissioner of Motor Vehicles assigns to a car or a driver picks for themselves. So you won’t have to worry…

Apart from the cameras (including a 108-megapixel shooter on the Ultra), the Galaxy S20 range is expected to be a more evolutionary upgrade with speedier Snapdragon 865 processors in some countries, up to 16GB of RAM and 120Hz displays. The Galaxy Buds+, meanwhile, would have much-improved battery life and call quality without changing the core…

The senator also wanted Tesla to implement “backup monitoring systems” beyond the steering wheel torque monitor that checks for hands on the wheel. That would keep at least one system checking for driver attentiveness, and might reduce the chances of someone tricking Autopilot into staying active.
