As noted by 9to5Mac, renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo predicted that the company will replace the touch panel with physical buttons in its upcoming devices. Plus, it’s also planning to bring back IO ports and the Magsafe method of charging. This is wonderful news as the Touch Bar has been a useless and hated accessory. My colleague Callum dedicated a whole piece to how Touch Bar ruined his life, and as he eloquently put it, “The MacBook Touch Bar fucking sucks....

Take, for example, today’s launch of Royole’s latest foldable: the FlexPai 2. It’s a fine bit of kit, but all I feel is an overriding puzzlement with what it’s meant to achieve. First though, let’s actually talk about the phone, as the FlexPai 2 is undoubtedly a technical marvel. According to the company, the display was folded over “1.8 million times during Certified Display Folding Reliability Tests by National Institute of Metrology” in China....

The founder of mining firm Intelion Mining, Alexander Shashkov, said that armed customs agents raided his company’s offices in two Russian cities, CoinDesk reports. Shashkov, made the news public when speaking at the TerraCrypto cryptocurrency mining conference in Moscow on July 25. Unfortunately for him, Shashkov was not aware the seized cryptocurrency miners were imported illegally. According to the report, the authorities went after the hardware when its owners failed to provide valid documentation....

There are some concessions to get to that price point on the cheaper models, as we expected from the leaks. First, the screen resolution has dropped from 3200 x 1440 to 2400 x 1080 — but that’s a minor thing considering the phones defaulted to a lower resolution in order to save battery life. Second, the two lower-end models drop the curved edges Samsung’s flagships have been famous for, giving them a bit more of a generic appearance — although some would argue this move is for the best....

In January, multiple rumors of LG selling its smartphone division came to the surface after the company’s leaked internal memo to staffers indicated this step. A report published from The Korea Times at that time indicated that VinGroup, a Vietnamese conglomerate, was already in talks with the tech giant to strike a deal. We didn’t hear anything about this partnership after that, so presumably, the deal fell through. People familiar with the matter told The Korea Times that the company considered many options, including sales, splits sales, or shut down — and eventually chose the last one....

The confusion began after France’s Minister of Solidarity and Health Oliver Véran announced on Twitter that taking anti-inflammatory drugs (such as ibuprofen or cortisone) could be a factor in worsening a COVID-19 infection. He recommended that paracetamol should be taken instead to treat the associated fever. At the moment, the NHS only recommends taking paracetamol for COVID-19 symptoms, even though it admits there is no strong evidence showing ibuprofen worsens symptoms....

These aren’t the kind of brain scans you might be thinking of. The scientists didn’t strap flies into tiny MRIs and zap them, they sliced their brains into 20-micron thick layers and then pulsed each layer with electrons. The resulting data was then used to produce a 3D image comprised of trillions of 3D pixels. The reason they chose fruit flies is because, compared to previous subjects, they’re incredibly complex but still posses a small enough brain to make the endeavor manageable....
