Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “The iPod RETURNS?”.
Tech news information on the airwaves through the coming to you. Oh I don’t Mondays meek you pine for the past. You know when it was a the weekend. Well, Apple looks like it might be, bringing back a piece of tech that was long thought to be on its way out. I’M talking about the iPod, which largely became a relic shortly after we all started using smartphones, but while a programmer was pouring through the code for the soon-to-be released iOS 12.2, he found a reference to a new iPod touch model. Unlike the more feature-packed iPhone, it looks like this.
New iPod won’t have touch ID or face ID, but it could still be appealing to folks who want an iPhone like experience, but don’t require a cell signal yeah. It’S like a it’s like a tiny iPad. It’S not clear yet when it’ll be available or how much it’ll cost. But personally I really just want that click wheel back! No, I don’t. Why would you write that Jon losing stuff and your couch cushions might become a thing of the past if Bluetooth 5.1 ends up seeing widespread adoption? The newest version of the Bluetooth standard was just announced and, while Bluetooth tracking tags have been around for a little while five point, one ups, the ante, by enabling users to locate items down to the centimeter, the technology works by affixing multiple and 10a to bluetooth devices. Instead of just one, a second device can then evaluate how the signal from each antenna is relative to the other ones and use that data to pinpoint the first devices location. Of course, since this is just an update to the Bluetooth spec, you might have to wait a while before gadget makers.
Add it to their devices so pay attention to where you put down your small, lose Abul trinkets. In the meantime, yeah we’re doing way more complicated solutions to these problems. There are plenty of games subscription services.
These days vying for your attention, and now Apple appears to be throwing its hat in the ring, as reports indicate they’re planning to launch their own. Like other subscription services Apple would be charging a recurring fee in order to for gamers to play a predetermined list of similar to how Netflix works. An apple is no stranger to the subscription model, as it already operates. Apple music, but with mobile gaming, projected to continue to surge over the next few years. That move what makes sense, though it isn’t clear exactly when we’d see apples gaming service become available to the public, as it’s currently still in the planning stages and may not happen at all.

Samsung is going to be phasing out. Traditional plastic packaging for many of its products in favor, of more eco-friendly alternatives. James love, this you love the environment, you love it yeah, so they’ll be using stuff like paper and biodegradable plastic. Well, this is certainly a welcome move for those of you who care about the environment.
You probably should I’m really just hoping this means we’ll, never see a Samsung product in one of those terrible clamshell packages that I’ve lacerated my hands on more times than I can count. You know those like the Costco or you like, have to like literally use your entire strength to or just use a scissor using laser beams to produce audio isn’t exactly new. I mean the CD has been around for a while, but what, if you could directly laser beam sound to one particular person? Maybe a special person, MIT researchers have made this a reality by firing lasers at the same wavelengths that water vapor in the air can absorb combined with sweeping the laser at Mach 1. Whatever that means this can produce sound. That can only be heard a certain distance away. What is beauty so I know what Mach 1 is sweeping lasers.
I don’t know what that means to sweep a laser. Hopefully we can use this tech in the future to say rude things about the boss to our co-workers without Linus hearing it, that’s John.

Nestle Pepsi and Unilever, the soap company will be partnering with the service loop to drop off grocery orders at your door in reusable containers, then, coming back later to pick up the empties, the containers themselves will be branded and the service is due to kick off this Spring in Paris, as well as parts of the northeastern US with London planning to be added later in the year, hopefully I’ll be able to order reusable cans of mountain Dew, which the UPS man will come to pick up in a bow tie, bow tie.

So it needs that and you might be entitled to money if you’re, a tinder user tinder err over 30, as the online dating giant, has just settled a class-action suit for over 17 million dollars. It was alleged that Tinder’s practice of charging folks 30 and up more money for premium features constituted age discrimination, so class members can get 25 bucks in damages, along with fifty super likes, though, if your luck on tinder is anything like mine, that may not be much Help I’m not on tinder, that’s it for now guys so come back on Wednesday for a little more angst and a lot more tech news.
