Smartphones are about to overtake PCs when it comes to RAM memory.
On Tuesday, Samsung announced it has begun mass production of the first 16GB LPDDR5 DRAM chip for smartphones.
The new chip is fast, with a data transfer rate that's 1.3 times faster than LPDDR4X RAM, and approximately 20% energy savings compared to an 8GB LPDDR4X chip. Speed aside, 16GB sounds like overkill. Is it?
Smartphones with 16GB of RAM exist already; Samsung's own Galaxy S20 Ultra can be had with this preposterous amount of fast memory. But now that's Samsung producing the 16GB chip en masse, it means that more smartphones will become available with this amount of RAM in the near future. Read more...
The game was called Glitch. It had a loyal but modest following of 150,000 people. Players scavenged for weird items and talked to strange characters. But most importantly, they talked to each other — setting the stage for a work chat app that would grow to host 12 million users and 65 of the Fortune 100 companies.
But Slack employees haven't forgotten its roots, and bits and pieces from its early days as a video game lurk in the app. Read more...
It's the first question you're likely to be asked around the watercooler today, as three of the primates did indeed take a walk on the wild side in Sydney on Tuesday.
One male and two female baboons escaped from a research facility on the grounds of the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital in the Sydney suburb of Camperdown, causing everyone including the local police force to monkey around making furiously bad jokes about it.
This is not a Mandrill! Earlier this afternoon, a troop of baboons escaped from a facility and were going bananas in Camperdown. Police and wildlife handlers now have the situation under control, so please let them do their job and don't be tempted to pry, mates.

Like millions of us, I've had a lifelong love affair with the creamy deliciousness that is cow's milk. (Whole milk, please, none of your pointless low-fat nonsense.) It's Saturday cartoons with cereal. It's the perfect partner in crime for sinfully sweet late-night snacks. And, when frothed and combined with two or more shots of espresso, it is pure work fuel. So much so that I measure my mornings by the size of the latte I order or make at home.
But the downside of milk is getting harder to ignore, even for those of us who tolerate lactose like crazy. Dairy and meat industry cattle use 83 percent of the world's farmland; they are the main reason forests are being cut down. The less we use their products, the more that land goes wild again, sucking in billions of tons of carbon. Reform agriculture enough, and climate change is pretty much solved. I'm excited about the rise of fake meat for exactly that reason. Read more...
Leigh Whannell's The Invisible Man may not have much in common with its ostensible source material, H.G. Wells' The Invisible Man. But its story should feel familiar all the same.
Elisabeth Moss plays Cecilia, who leaves her abusive husband only to discover she's in more danger than ever before, as Adrian (Oliver Jackson-Cohen) will do anything, up to and including turning himself invisible, to possess her. Worse still, no one around her quite seems to take her concerns seriously; even her well-meaning friends and family believe she's just being paranoid, or imagining things, or becoming unhinged.

Trump's trips abroad are often a good source of material for the late show hosts, and his India visit has been absolutely no exception.
During Monday night's edition of The Late Show, Stephen Colbert rounded up some of the more memorable moments so far.
"Here he is giving Prime Minister Narendra Modi the traditional American greeting of sliding your hand inside someone's clothes," says Colbert, bringing up a picture of Trump greeting Modi before launching into his trademark impression of the president: "Look, we've only known each other a short while, but I think we're ready for some under the vest stuff."

Some iOS updates are so small that, to the untrained eye, it doesn't look like your iPhone's display or runtime has changed at all. But then there are other iOS updates that usher in major, visible changes that make apps more immersive, navigation more intuitive, and the speed of your smartphone so much greater. Like iOS 13, for example.
For app developers, the new operating system boasts a ton of benefits, from its updated ARKit 2 for building AR apps to enhanced machine learning capabilities, that change the way they ideate and develop Apple apps. Read more...
Voicemail and phone calls are dead. That's the way it should be.
There's little to mourn in the countless awkward annoyances embedded into those most hellish forms of modern communication. But that doesn't mean all audio-based messaging deserves to die in the digital age.
The voice message (aka voice texts, voice notes, or voice memos) is to voicemail what texting is to email: It's the more efficient, immediate, informal, and intimate evolution of its outdated predecessor. These short audio clips exchanged over text threads, whether in iMessage, Android Messages, Facebook Messenger, or WhatsApp, are like a high-tech iteration of the walkie talkie. Read more...

Your Samsung smartphone might offer plenty of great features and abilities, but the headphones you've received bundled with it aren't that great. Instead, it's a better idea to upgrade them and buy separate earphones or headphones that offer a far superior listening experience. Before you do so, it's worth having a think about how you intend on using your headphones.
Are you planning on commuting with them regularly? Do you travel frequently? Do you love using Samsung's S-Voice assistant? It's important to have a comfortable pair that work for you. Read on to find out more about what to look for with headphones for your Samsung smartphone. Read more...
Looking at Ultimate Ears' wireless speaker lineup, it was inevitable. First there was the Boom, then the Megaboom, followed by the Blast and Megablast (perhaps not exactly in that order, but you get the picture).
So now, the company took this idea a few notches further with its latest portable, wireless speaker: the Hyperboom.
The Hyperboom, dubbed as the brand's "loudest and bassiest speaker yet," is truly massive; I don't have exact size specifications yet, but it's probably a fair amount bigger than your head.
Of course, due to its size, the Hyperboom is more of a party speaker than a home speaker. But big size has advantages, including 24 hours of battery life (the battery can also be used to charge your phone), and a sound that's three times louder an has "six times the bass" (whatever that means) of UE's Megaboom 3.

Beards. Many of you will want one, but not all of you can have one.
Follicularly-blessed friends are lucky — the presence of a good beard has the potential to add an air of brooding mystery to your aesthetic, making you all the more interesting compared to the others. So go ahead, grow one! Just do it right.
Yes, there is a correct way to grow a beard. It goes beyond just neglecting to shave — sure, that's an option, but just you wait until that awkward phase of hair growth kicks in and you're all scraggly and stuff. Then you'll get it.
If you're wondering to yourself what the correct method of embarking on your beard growth journey is, we're here to answer that question for you. Frankly, it's pretty simple — you just have to keep up with some relatively light maintenance while your follicles flourish, like trimming, exfoliating, cleansing, conditioning, and just a few other steps.

If you're planning any sort of travel, you're going to want to take your new beard products along for the ride and Herschel's travel bag is a convenient way to do just that.
Monday's episode of the Tonight Show saw K-pop group BTS join Jimmy Fallon for a round of Subway Olympics, playing several games that probably won't appear in the real Olympics any time soon. These included Protect the Duck, in which players attempted to knock a rubber duck off each other's hand, and Dance Your Shades and Gloves Off, which was exactly what it sounds like.
It was predictably chaotic, with J-Hope accidentally slapping Jin in the face at one point, but it wouldn't be BTS playing games without some silly antics. There was even a bit of cheeky cheating, with Jimin sneakily sticking Post-Its on Jungkook well after time was up. Read more...
Imagine being powerful enough to take over one of the busiest train stations in America, putting on a performance in a landmark that sees 750,000 passengers a day.
Well, K-pop titans BTS stopped Grand Central Station in its tracks, with a performance in the Manhattan icon's main hall. The biggest boyband in the world right now, BTS threw down a performance to remember, 'On' from their latest album Map of the Soul: 7, released on Friday.
It's all part of Jimmy Fallon's Subway Special of The Tonight Show, which saw the seven lads touring New York's landmarks. It's a big week for BTS doing the late night show rounds, with their run on James Corden's Carpool Karaoke dropping on Tuesday. Read more...
The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon solved a long-running K-pop mystery on Monday, finally revealing the details of BTS' Black Bean Noodle Incident.
Answering questions Fallon gathered from fans, BTS finally revealed exactly what the mysterious noodle incident was. It seems that, during their training days, BTS' leader RM told the rest of the group he was going to the restroom. However, he actually went to eat black bean noodles alone while everyone else waited for him. "I had a stomach ache!" RM laughed. Read more...
Bernie Sanders won the Nevada caucus over the weekend, securing his place as the current frontrunner for the Democratic nomination. However, while these results clearly indicate most of the population is behind Bernie, some more centrist Democrats in the media were apparently hoping he wouldn't do so well.
"Pundits across cable news have been freaking out about Bernie's rise," said Late Night host Seth Meyers during Monday's episode. After Bernie's win in New Hampshire, "the story wasn't that he was winning, but that if you use pundit math, he was actually losing."
In this case, "pundit math" referred to the tendency of cable news shows to declare that, if you add together several other candidates' results, Sanders is actually losing. Which, by the way, is not how voting works at all. If two people want to eat at Burger King, two prefer KFC, and three want In-N-Out, that doesn't mean In-N-Out has lost. Read more...
Dating when you're 40 or older can be intimidating — unlike when you're in your 20s or 30s, you can't assume everyone your age is single and looking. If you've found yourself "on the market" again, it's important to remember that half of U.S. marriages do end in divorce, so the dating pool isn't as small as you might think.
Meeting people organically out in public still happens, but sometimes it's easier and less intimidating to meet people where they are. It's a comfort in knowing that the people you find on dating apps are single (hopefully) and looking for a romantic relationship, so at least you're both on the same page. Read more...
