But I'll just read it. 3 articles that are scientific but scary of photos

 

dare.

Research by scientists around the world has revealed many facts in 2021. But some of them say, "I know it's a serious study, but I'm not afraid of photography ...?"

We will pick up and introduce only such articles.

| The remains of a partially mummified ancient city of Pompeii are unearthed

In the ancient city of Pompeii, the bodies of partially mummified citizens have been newly excavated. Inside the elaborate stone tomb, along with a decorative urn and other burial items, was the dead bone of a man who was believed to have died in his 60s. It's rare enough to be partially mummified , but it turns out that he was once a slave, but had freedom and socio-economic success .

The research team said, "Even for someone like me who has been studying body archeology for a while, the amount of information that can be obtained from this tomb, from the inscription of the tomb to the osteological discoveries and the painted façade, is It's huge and exceptional. We have confirmed the importance of adopting an approach that spans multiple disciplines. "

For the first time in history, "pregnant mummy" is discovered

A recent radiation test revealed that the mummy, who was thought to be a priestly man 2,000 years ago , was actually a woman and even a pregnant woman .

A translation of the hieroglyphs engraved on the casket in the 1920s and 1960s revealed that the name of an Egyptian male priest named "Hor-Djehuty" was written, and a mummy was tested in the 1990s. Was confirmed to be a man . However, a recent study states that " this mummy has definitely proved to be a female ."

In fact, the mummies were often moved to a different casket than the one they were originally buried in , either simply put in a different casket, or a 19th-century antique merchant in a suitable casket. I'm not sure if I put it in and sold it, but it seems that this mummy also had a misunderstanding of gender due to a mistake in the casket.

NASA's next-generation rocket SLS completed! Launch is scheduled for February next year

 

NASA, which has completed the assembly work of the SLS (Space Launch System) rocket, held a press conference last week. There, the dates for the Artemis program were announced. The successful installation of the spacecraft "Orion" is a major milestone for NASA preparing for the Artemis program aiming for the moon.

The SLS rocket has been assembled and is now 101 meters high. NASA's team of engineers completed assembly work at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida just before midnight on October 21st. In addition to the spacecraft Orion, which weighs about 33.5 tons, the rocket has a fixed launch escape system. The assembly work and its completion, which began earlier this year, marks an important milestone at NASA.

At the press conference, Mike Bolger, program manager for the exploration ground system at the Kennedy Space Center, told reporters that he was surprised to see the SLS rocket from top to bottom, calling it a "great sight." The rocket is currently in the NASA Space Shuttle Assembly Building (VAB), and Bolger said it would be even more exciting if the rocket was rolled out to the launch pad.

Cathy Koerner, Project Orion Manager at NASA's Johnson Space Center, said her team had conducted all the tests to prepare Orion for the rollout. The Artemis 1 mission is Orion's second flight to space, but the first to go to deep space . "I'm excited to see Orion work in an environment designed for it," Koerner said in a press conference.

The first launch of the next-generation large rocket, the highly anticipated Artemis 1 mission, has finally come to light. In this test flight, a rocket throws an unmanned Orion capsule into space, and Orion orbits the moon and returns without landing on the moon. If the test is successful, we will be ready for Artemis 2 (a similar mission except for NASA astronauts) scheduled for the end of 2023.

At the press conference, the launch date for Artemis 1 was announced, making it extremely clear that the mission was nearing implementation. Artemis 1 mission manager Mike Sarafin commented that the SLS rocket will be launched as early as 5:56 pm on February 12, 2022, Eastern Daylight Time . The comprehensive launch window will open until February 27th. If SLS is not launched in February, NASA will re-challenge between March 12-21 and April 8-23.

The reason for the two-week pattern is related to the so-called "three-body problem", which affects the tilt of the earth's axis, the cycle of the moon, and the need to land during the day when returning to Earth. Sarafin explains that it will be done.

The announced launch schedule will depend on a number of upcoming tests and ongoing assessments, including countdown tests to verify communication systems, ground system tests, and wet dress rehearsals to pour propellant into rocket fuel tanks. increase. The exact date of the wet dress rehearsal is unknown, but Deputy Deputy Director of Exploration Systems Development Tom Whitmeyer said it would be ideal to do it in January.

Deputy Deputy Director Whitmeyer told reporters, "We are very excited about our tremendous progress, especially given the problems posed by the new Corona." But when it came to the dates, he nailed, "I'll fly when I'm ready to fly to the hardware."

At the press conference, John Honeycutt, SLS Program Manager at NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, said the team had completed testing and is working on integration. He added that Artemis 1 is not only the first test launch from SLS, but also the first test for many new ground systems.

Sarafin said the completion of stacking was an important milestone, suggesting that it was in the final stages. He points out challenges such as maneuvering Orion under true flight conditions, returning from the moon to perform a safe re-entry (capsule reaches Mach 32 to Mach 0 in 20 seconds), and spacecraft recovery. , Warned that Artemis 1 is not an easy task. He also said he would deploy multiple cubesats, including BioSentinel, to study the effects of radiation on yeast.

Sarafin said he was thrilled that Orion had a camera and was hoping to take a selfie against the backdrop of a spectacular view of the Earth, more than 322,000 km away from the moon .

Artemis 1 and 2 are currently scheduled for 2024 (although the clouds are becoming suspicious ...) are test missions for the ultimate reward of a manned lunar landing. The main purpose of the Artemis program is to ensure a long and sustainable lunar stay that will serve as a preparation for the mission to Mars in the 2030s.

The Facebook company name will change to Meta. Is the first icon a glasses motif?

 

The new VR head ended with a CG flickering ...

As rumored, the Facebook company name will change . The new name is " Meta ". We are now developing a large number of SNS services, and in the future we will also set up on platforms that utilize VR, AR, and MR, so the word Meta in Metaverse will be the main brand name .

In addition to the VR conference room Horizon Workrooms in the VR office, the Horizon family has added Horizon Worlds , which allows you to create a game world in visual language, and Horizon Home, which allows you to create a wonderful home space like Atsumori in VR . The party room Venues will join as Horizon Venues is. In November, you'll be able to watch NBA games with your friends wearing Quest.

The time has come when 2D apps such as Facebook, Instagram, Dropbox, and Slack can also be used in the Quest & 3D environment. If you want to wear Quest for a long time, make it even lighter! I wonder if there will be a new model that eliminates the front heavy!

Unfortunately, the expectation is indigestion. The new VR headset " Project Cambria " , which is scheduled to be released next year , has been released . But surely the goggles are thinner and there is more thickness behind the headband. They said the redesigned optics were pancakes.

This guy is not the successor to Quest 2. Not Quest 3. It seems that it will be a high-end VR headset in a higher price range. It has a color pass-through function and can be used as an MR, and it seems that the range of tracking will expand.

The Quest 2 in the 264$ range was a device that could be said to be virtually free considering what it could do. It doesn't hurt to get higher from there. But, please put it out at a price range that we can reach!

Is the new iPhone SE model next year? Even if the name is "iPhone SE Plus", is the display size the same?

 Recently, I'm confused about the naming of gadgets. Not only simple numbering, but also more alphabets and words next to it. Which alphabet pattern of which manufacturer is a high-end model and a low-priced model? What? So, even though it's easy to get confused, the iPhone SE is moving to make it even more confusing.

Display analyst Ross Youg tweeted about the new iPhone SE model. It is said that the iPhone SE (3rd generation) that will be released in 2022 next year will be named iPhone SE Plus . However, the LCD screen size remains 4.7 inches, the same as the iPhone SE (2nd generation). So, the iPhone SE 3 and others have a screen size of 5.7 inches to 6.1 inches and are postponed from the release schedule in 2023 to 2024.

… Let me sort out a little. Until now, when Apple named "Plus", the screen size was positive. Both iPhone 7 Plus and iPhone 8 Plus. However, rumor has it that the iPhone SE Plus Plus will be a 5G compatible plus . Moreover, the iPhone SE, which actually has a positive screen size, will be in 2024.

Why not change iPhone SE Plus to iPhone SE 3? Isn't that easier to understand as the third generation? Then, why not use the iPhone SE 3 Plus or the iPhone SE 4 for the next larger screen size?

Flagship smartphones in recent years have too high specs, and many people don't need that much. The significance of developing both high-end models and low-priced models is very significant, and the iPhone SE series is also paying attention in that sense. It seems to be a cheap model, and I want the naming to be simple.

This photo, which is said to be the next AirPods Pro, why is there a speaker in the case?

 I don't know if it's genuine.

First of all, I would like to say that MacRumors has taken a picture of the earphone & case called the next AirPods Pro .

The first thing to worry about is the presence of the speaker hole at the bottom. According to the image leaker, the "find" function in iOS 16 will allow you to search for earphones and cases separately, so this is a speaker for sounding notifications. There is also a metal strap hole on the side.

And the basic design of the earphones is the same as the current model, udon .

The change is that there is no optical sensor on the underside. This is because the skin detection sensor detects the wearing from the 3rd generation AirPods , so is it inherited? Is made.

I think it's a legitimate path to evolution to be a skin detection sensor, but isn't it going to get shorter? There was a rumor that this image is a little difficult to judge. MacRumors also needs to be suspicious to some extent because it is information from the leaker who has no track record in the past.

Assuming it's true, I think it's certainly convenient to be able to find the case by "searching", but I think the strap hole is a bit unfashionable.

No, I'm sure it would be convenient.

I've touched the camera "Xperia PRO-I"

 

It's compatible with Osaifu-Keitai, so you can usually do it.

The Xperia PRO-I announced today is equipped with the largest 1-inch size sensor for smartphone cameras . I immediately touched it at an experience session for media / influencers

Together with the photo of the main body, we will deliver the first impression you touched.

The first impression I had was "that? Lighter than I expected?" It's 211 grams, so it's heavier, but it's lighter than you can imagine from its profound appearance and the feel of metal.

It is easy to grip thanks to the knurling (unevenness processing) on ​​the side. It's also a camera-like production.

____________________________________

Despite the size of the sensor, the protrusion of the camera is surprisingly small. Also, since the camera is located in the center of the main unit, it is stable even when placed flat.

Combination with grip GP-VPT2BT, which can be used with digital cameras for Vlog, ZV-1, etc., and small monitor "Vlog Monitor". Since the small monitor is fixed with a magnet, it can be moved left and right to some extent.

When I touched it for about 30 minutes, it seemed like it could be used as an ordinary smartphone .

The Xperia PRO (the one without I) has an overflowing "professional equipment" feel, and I felt that "only professional photographers use this", but PRO-I is much more friendly. is.

I compared the size of the new 14-inch MacBook Pro and 13-inch MacBook Pro (2020)

 

13 inch vs 14 inch, fight!

The new 14-inch MacBook Pro arrived at the editorial department, so I took a commemorative photo alongside the 13-inch MacBook Pro (M1 / 2020) also in the editorial department.

Well, it's the same MacBook Pro, but the screen size is different and the chip is different. There are many differences, so I compared the MacBook Air (M1 / 2020) together.

After all 14 inch MacBook Pro is big

First from the footprint . From the left are MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro, and 14-inch MacBook Pro. The MacBook Air and the 13-inch MacBook Pro are almost the same, but the 14-inch MacBook Pro is slightly larger. By the way, the size of the footprint is as follows.

MacBook Air (M1 / 2020): Width 30.41 x Depth 21.24 cm

13-inch MacBook Pro (M1 / 2020): Width 30.41 x Depth 21.24 cm

14-inch MacBook Pro (M1 Pro / 2021): Width 31.26 x Depth 22.12 cm

Differences between 13-inch and 14-inch

There are many differences between the 13-inch MacBook Pro and the 14-inch MacBook Pro besides the screen size and chip.

The narrowness of the bezel is one of them. After all, the 14-inch MacBook Pro has a narrower bezel. Because of this narrow bezel, even 14 inches wouldn't have been that big.

How to delete location information from photos taken with iPhone

 Every time you take a photo with your iPhone, the location is saved with the photo.

This feature, called geotagging , is useful because you can search for photos by location. However, it is inconvenient when you want to share photos without giving information on the shooting location.

The good news is that most social networks delete the photo location information before uploading.

Before sharing photos with services or methods that do not delete the location information, such as message apps, cloud services, and file sharing services (including AirDrop), it is a good idea to delete the location yourself.

This time, I will show you how to easily delete the location where the photo was taken.

How to delete a photo location before sharing

Open the "Photos" app on your iPhone and select the photo you want to share. Tap the share icon in the lower left corner to open the iPhone share sheet.

At the top of the shared sheet (where you can see how many photos you have selected) , tap Options . On the options screen, turn off the "All photo data" slider under "Include".

If this slider is green, it contains the location information of the shooting location. Not included if the slider is gray. Tap Done to save your changes and share your photo.

How to disable geotagging for all photos on iPhone

It only takes a few seconds to delete your location before sharing your photos, but in less than a few seconds you can even geotag your iPhone photos from the beginning.

If that's a hassle, you can easily not record your location when you take a picture.

However, if you disable geotagging, you will not be able to search iPhone photos by location.

Searching for photos by city or country name gives no results. The advantage is that you don't have to worry about inadvertently exposing your location when you share your photos.

For most people, disabling geotagging for accurate location information is a good choice. I still know the approximate location where the photo was taken, but the range is so wide that I don't know the exact location.

To completely disable geotagging, select " None " in " Settings> Privacy> Location Services> Camera " on your iPhone .

To prevent the iPhone camera from recording the exact location information where the photo was taken , check the same settings page as above (" Settings> Privacy> Location services> Camera ") and check anything other than "None". Then turn off the " Accuracy " slider.

Global semiconductor shortage, Apple is finally serious ...

 

I don't know.

For gadget makers, this year has been a tough one. The global shortage of semiconductors has had a major impact on everything from game consoles to graphic cards. Meanwhile, I had the impression that Apple managed to endure it, but apparently that's it. There will be a delay in product shipment in the future.

According to a report by Bloomberg, the source of the story, Apple's new products announced this fall are expected to be delayed in shipment in the future. iPhone 13 series, iPad mini, iPad, Apple Watch Series 7 and MacBook Pro. In addition, the MacBook Air and iMac announced before the fall will be affected. Well, even if it says that it will be delayed, it is said that shipping will be from mid-November to December.

However, it seems that it depends on the area, for example, in New York City where the US Gizmodo editorial department is located, all iPhone 13 models are almost out of stock at any store . At the US official online store, it will be delivered at the end of November at the earliest, and it is difficult for users whose initial response is delayed to obtain it. In addition, it was reported earlier this month that Apple would lower its iPhone 13 production target by 10 million units this year, so it will take some time for the situation to improve.

For some reason, Apple's special polishing cloth, which should not be related to semiconductors, is now shipped in 10 to 12 weeks. Are you trying to test royalties not only on price but also on delivery time ...? It's highly rated by people who are already using cloth, so it may be more popular than expected.

Anyway, if you're looking for Apple products for Christmas or New Year's gifts this year, it's a good idea to stop early.

Gadgetty has a lot ...! I touched the smartphone "Astro Slide 5G Transformer" that hides the full keyboard

I was wondering if smartphones have evolved completely.

There was a guy who was about to make a ridiculous evolution !

Its name is " Astro Slide 5G Transformer ". All conventional smartphone functions are included , and of course 5G is supported. Despite its compact size, it houses a QWERTY keyboard , and as you can see, it can be opened quickly with a single action. What's more, it's a smartphone that stands out in terms of both hardware and software, with dual installation of Android 11 OS and Linux and the ability to customize it to your liking ...!

"Astro Slide 5G Transformer" is currently raising acclaimed funds at " Makuake " in Japan, following the American crowdfunding site " Indiegogo " .

Dr. Janko Mrsic-Flogel, CEO of Planet Computers , the creator of Astro Slide, talked about its appeal!

A smartphone that can be used as a computer

First, let's look at the specs you care about.

The size is 172.4 mm in height x 76.5 mm in width x 17.8 mm in thickness, and weighs about 300 g.

Is the iPhone 13 Pro Max (height 160.8 mm x width 78.1 mm x thickness 7.65 mm, weight 238 g) easy to understand for comparison ? It's thicker and heavier by the amount of the keyboard, so I think it's definitely one of the biggest in the smartphone world.

It's like this when you have it. It's a little heavy with one hand, but it doesn't feel strange in terms of size.

The 6.39-inch AMOLED (organic EL) touch screen has a resolution of 2340 x 1080 and Gorilla Glass 3. It is clear and beautiful.

Previously developed by Planet Computers, the GEMINI PDA and Cosmo Communicator only supported landscape mode (landscape), but this time Astro Slide is now available in portrait mode (portrait) as well. .. What's more, if you set it, you can seamlessly switch between vertical and horizontal with the touch of a button! (It can be set with the smart button function, and other options are shown in the above image).

The keyboard is stored at the bottom of the screen. Before you get used to it, it is recommended to open it with both hands on a table to prevent it from falling.

When this happens, it's almost like a small 

computer .

The sound of " Ja " while sliding the screen and "Cachon!" When fixing with a magnet at the end is really gadgetty and highly satisfying ...!

The full mechanical keyboard, which overturns the conventional concept that "smartphones are difficult to type", can be typed with both hands, albeit small. Once you get used to it, you can write long emails on the go and even create documents in a hurry without having to carry around a laptop.

It seems that the keyboard can be selected from all 24 types of layouts including kana keys, and it is possible to freely map the keyboard to your liking .

This is the ultimate keyboard backlight . It was bright enough to type with plenty of room even when the room was actually pitch black. It seems to be useful for taking notes during meetings, and I was convinced that the specifications are such that they can be used anytime, anywhere

All the functions you want on your smartphone

Introducing other than touch screen and keyboard.

Mainly Sony's 48 megapixel camera , it also has a 13 megapixel in-camera .

NFC compatible and 10W Qi wireless charging is also possible. It has a stereo speaker, a microphone, a 3.5mm audio jack, and two USB-C ports (one dedicated to video output).

In addition to being able to unlock instantly with the fingerprint authentication button , there is also a physical button called a " smart button " that allows you to customize the operation to your liking. It seems that this was actually developed by reflecting the voice of the user, and various functions can be assigned to the three actions of "click", "double click", and "long click".

For example, you can instantly switch the screen from portrait mode to landscape mode with a single touch, take a screenshot, launch any app, cycle through the running apps, and so on. It seems that you can customize it

As for hardware, it is equipped with 

MediaTek's Dimensity 800 chip with 8 cores, and the maximum speed is 2.39GB / s. In addition to 8GM RAM and 128GB memory, it is very convenient to have a slot for a micro SD card.

As you can see in the image above, the specifications are such that two nanoSIM cards and one eSIM can be stored inside the long SIM card tray (up to two SIMs can be used at the same time, including eSIM). However, which eSIM to use can be managed / switched with the dedicated app).

You can also dual install Linux

From here on, it's an area for people who are familiar with it, but it is also possible to introduce a Linux system.

If you partition the storage like a personal computer, you can install a typical Linux distribution such as Kali, Debian, Ubuntu, etc. and run a mobile OS such as Sailfish or Postmarket.

"I just want to make a device that is easy to use.

Why is Planet Computers sticking to smartphones with keyboards in the first place?

According to CEO Dr. Yanko,

It was a pain to have to carry a laptop with me to work. I was looking for a smartphone that was easy to type and fits in my pocket, looking for a more efficient communication tool .

There used to be a lot of devices with keyboards, such as Psion Series 3, NOKIA Communicator, and Eriksson. However, since the introduction of the iPhone, touch screen smartphones have become more and more mainstream. So let's make it ourselves! When.

In 2016, Dr. Yanko launched Planet Computers with his colleagues. Launched at Indiegogo the following year, the "Gemini PDA" was a pocket-sized computer with a telephone function rather than a smartphone. The "Astro Slide," which was developed over the next four years , is evolving into a smartphone with exactly the same functions as a computer .

Astro Slide 5G Transformer is so attractive that Richard is in agony. It is expected to release date and price, but those who are worried because they are from time to time published in the crowdfunding site is here. Check it out for!

I want to try it first when I update it. 15 new features for Android 12

 

Android 12 out 

Starting with Google's Pixel (3 or later) , information about Appde will gradually come to Android devices from other manufacturers ~ Exciting. Let's prepare for the 15 new features that you want to try first after introducing them

1) Capture the entire screen up to the scroll destination

It's a feature that has been available for some time in Chrome, but it's finally possible to capture full screen on Android. You don't have to capture it like an inchworm-> scroll-> scroll-> scroll-> inchworm, and if you stitch the screenshots together, there will be one line missing and you will have to start over. Press the power button and volume down button at the same time to snap the display area. You can take and save the full screen including the scroll destination by pressing " Capture More " in the corner of the screen .

2) The search range has expanded

The search window, which used to only search the Web, can now search for contacts, communications, apps, and more. You can choose what you want to include in the search and what you don't.

3) Speedy automatic rotation. Pixel will match your face!

Google says that it wipes out the moody feeling of automatic rotation, and Android 12 switches between vertical and horizontal quickly, smoothly and accurately. When the face is lying down with the terminal, it seems that it can also judge whether it automatically rotates (though it is limited to Pixel). How do you identify the orientation of your face?

4) Check the latest privacy status on the dashboard

Android becomes more robust with each version upgrade. Security is perfect even in the latest version. From the settings menu, tap "Privacy"> "Security Dashboard" to get a panoramic view of the apps you have authorized within 24 hours.

Some of the pictograms have been redesigned to make them modern and simple. What has changed are croissants, snowmen, driveways, pies, and masked smiles. Click here for explanations and samples .

6) Game mode is also available

"Game mode" is now available on Android. In game mode, you'll be optimized for a high-load hardware environment, and you'll be able to block notifications and focus on your play. Open "Notifications", tap "Do not Disturb"> "Schedule" and press the "Gaming" gear icon to open the game settings screen. If you enable "Create Shortcut" here, it seems that dashboard shortcuts will be displayed during the game.

7) Open multiple Chrome windows

For the first time on mobile, the ability to open multiple windows and tabs has also been realized in collaboration with Google Chrome for Android. It is available from the main browser menu. Split screen view has also been enhanced in Android 12, so it seems to be useful when splitting.

8) Quickly switch Wi-Fi

Improved where it was a little difficult to switch. In 12, just swipe down from the top of the screen and tap "Internet" to display a list of networks that can be used like this, so you can switch to your favorite Wi-Fi here or turn on / on the Wi-Fi connection. You can switch off.

9) More types of quick settings

The quick settings panel ( displayed with a two-finger swipe from the top to the bottom of the screen ) has a full range of functions and settings that can be operated. Not only smart homes, but also Google Pay and new accessibility settings can be done here. Tap the pen icon at the bottom left and select the button you want to display

10) Turn off the camera and microphone with a single tap

The operation to turn off the camera and microphone is also easy, and if you enter this screen with a two-finger swipe from the top to the bottom of the screen, you can turn it off with one tap. The nice thing about Android 12 is that if you have an app that uses a camera or microphone, it will be displayed at the top of the screen.

11) The annual Easter egg, this time ... an analog clock

You can't talk about the latest version of Android without talking about Easter eggs. Open "Settings", go to " About phone" > "Android version information", and tap "Android version information" several times. This will bring up an analog clock, so try manually spinning the hands of the clock until you're satisfied. Surprise is also available at 12PM (or 12AM).
