Sketchy Huawei P50 with stylus renders appear online

Somewhat sketchy and likely inaccurate renders of the Huawei P50 Pro have appeared online. The leak, first spotted by GizChina, indicates the P50 will feature a near-complete redesign when compared to the P40 series. The render shows the smartphone will sport a curved display with small bezels and a hole-punch camera cutout with two sensors. The rear features what looks like the P40 Pro’s vertical camera module turned horizontally. Further, the P50 handset will include a stylus pen similar to the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 series, if this render is accurate. The P50 is expected to launch in March 2021, whereas the Mate 40 series flagship will probably release in September or October of this year. Huawei typically focuses on camera tech...

Tailgating tradition takes on new form as opera goes virtual – CityNews Toronto

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Tech executive Peter Batty has been making the trip to New Mexico’s high desert almost every summer since 1996 to get his opera fix at one of the most famous venues in the United States. Not this year. Instead of tailgating outside the Santa Fe Opera, he and his wife celebrated their anniversary and the opera’s opening night on their balcony in downtown Denver. The hors d’oeuvres were out and the champagne poured as the performance unfolded online. The famed opera is offering a series of virtual performances after being forced to cancel the season due to the coronavirus pandemic. The Saturday night events are meant to celebrate the five originally-scheduled operas that would have been performed this summer, including the world premiere of Huang Ruo and Dav...

VEZINA: Best response to COVID-19 is assessing risk

It is not entirely your family member’s fault that he or she ignored public health recommendations and took their children to the beach.The longer the COVID-19 pandemic goes on, the more families are being put in an untenable, lose-lose situation, where they are effectively being told they have to choose between the health of their children and the health of their parents.There are three major parts of this problem:1. Health risk from COVID-19.2. Psychological damage risk from the COVID-19 response.3. People, in general, are not very good at understanding risk.The ways individuals treat the threat of COVID-19 are far more numerous than the ways health experts have talked to them about that threat.This is always a problem with experts explaining things to non-experts, but it gets ...

Jeep adds its EcoDiesel V6 to the Gladiator lineup

When Jeep introduced the Gladiator pickup truck for 2020, fans were treated to a product for which they had been asking for ages. Another item on their wish list was checked off today, when Jeep officially announced the Gladiator will be available this fall with a torquey diesel engine.How torquey? Try 442 lb.-ft. of twist, a sum that should be sufficient to haul Gladiator up and out of the toughest obstacles at Moab. Or at least, enough to dislodge the Oakleys off Chad’s head. This new EcoDiesel will be paired exclusively with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and will be — praise the pharaohs — offered across three trims: Sport, Overland, and Rubicon.The 3.0L V6 will also make 260 horsepower and, thanks to an engine start-stop system, is emboldening Jeep to claim this Gla...

Border authorities use pandemic powers to expel immigrants – CityNews Toronto

SAN DIEGO — The Honduran woman was nine months’ pregnant and exhausted with stomach pain when the Border Patrol found her in the Southern California mountains with her longtime partner and their 9-year-old son. What happened next illustrates how difficult it has become to seek asylum in the United States during the coronavirus pandemic. Alexy, 32, and his son Samuel were whisked to the border in the wee hours of June 28 and returned to Mexico. Two days later, after giving birth at a hospital in Chula Vista, California, 25-year-old Karina was returned to Tijuana in similar fashion with her newborn son, a U.S. citizen by birthright. In normal times, the family would probably have been released in the United States with appointments in immigration court to argue for asylum. Inst...

It pays to know your ‘Clutterbug’ personality

When organizing expert Cass Aarssen first started helping families to declutter and establish home storage systems, her motto was: If it doesn’t stay organized, I’ll come back free of charge. It didn’t take long to realize her mistake.“It was a terrible motto because I kept having to go back and reorganize for free over and over again because it just wouldn’t stick,” said Aarssen. “It was a sink or swim moment for my business … and then I had to adapt.”What she did next set her profession on an entirely different course. Recognizing some people need their things in plain sight and others out of sight, some are meticulous and others not so much, she started to classify people according to four distinct organizing styles, or what she calls “Clutterbug” personalities.Bees are visua...
