Maybe this deepfake video, by placing Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos in the shoes of an alien overlord bent on enslaving (some of) humanity, is offering up some sort of social commentary. Or maybe it just looks cool having Bezos face off against Tesla/SpaceX head Elon Musk.
Your struggle for power doesn’t have to be a massive struggle. We’re all rocking electric devices and those devices make life easier when it comes to power outages. The trick is keeping those devices topped up when Eskom’s out — three hours of gaming on a Nintendo Switch will ding the battery pretty hard. There is an obvious answer, though: batteries.
Another day, another Apple rumour. This one, from Taiwan, claims that Apple’s got a new 12in iPad Pro waiting in the wings. It’s said to have a new three-lens 3D time-of-flight camera sensor, which would allow the tablet to pack far more of a photographic punch. You’d still look like a bit of a git taking photos with an iPad, though. Reveal date? According to Digitimes, its sources have said: “Apple is set to release its new 12-inch iPad Pro model featuring a rear-end three-lens ToF 3D sensor in the spring [that’s around March to all of us Southern Hemisphere…
Just because something can be used for evil doesn’t mean we should completely chuck it out the window. If we dismissed all deepfakes, we wouldn’t be so sure that what the world needs right now is a Back to the Future remake/sequel with MCU actors Tom Holland and Robert Downey Jr.
In a world where streaming is making life as uncomfortable as possible for traditional TV suppliers (without the reintroduction of public flogging), you’d think that price increases would be a thing of the past. But inflation hasn’t gone away just because Netflix is in South Africa and it’s for that reason that Multichoice has announced price increases for its DStv packages.
Space. The final frontier. The place where no-one can hear you scream. And, apparently, the place you import the finest zoom from — at least, if you believe Samsung’s claims about its all-new flagship device, the Galaxy S20 Ultra. Yes, that S20 Ultra. It’s totally real. And, with the new handset, Samsung’s hoping to take some of the shine from Huawei’s camera hardware, using a little something the company calls Space Zoom. To Infinity! You see, the Ultra gets its title from the quad rear camera arrangement that uses Samsung’s newest, largest sensors. The main lens is a 108MP ISOCELL…
Samsung’s throwing as much power as they can at its smartphones this year, in the hopes that you’ll be convinced that a Galaxy flagship is all you’ll need for the rest of the year. Whether you’re actually convinced… well, that’s on you.
Samsung will reveal its newest collection of handsets tomorrow evening, 11 February, but if you were present at the Oscars this weekend (apparently they do tech reveals now), you would have gotten an early preview. And, because everyone carries a recording device these days, you didn’t actually have to be present. The ad shown for Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip was captured, of course, and uploaded to the internet. You can see it below. You’re gonna Flip https://twitter.com/reckless/status/1226678928120655872 Samsung’s ad shows off the phone in action, though with several caveats tucked away in random corners. One of those is that a…
Do you really need Audi’s refreshed and sporty new A1? Heck no, it’s a luxury car, albeit an entry level one. Nobody needs a luxury car, no matter what the salesman wants you to believe. Do you really want one? That’s affirmative, Red Leader.
