There Are Smaller Black Holes in the Universe; We Can Now Find out Even More About Space

0

Scientists stated that the light black holes that they found are crucial for getting new info about the stars. There’s a new class of black holes which may have been found in space, and we need to get all the info we can.

This new class is composed of small black holes, smaller than those which are placed around the universe, and they can help us better understand details about the stars.

In case you don’t know, a black hole is an area in space, in which gravity is so strong that light simply cannot escape. They get created when a star dies, or when it shrinks into itself and then explodes.

Astronomers are able to find them by using adapted space telescopes in order to study star activity. However, stars that are nearby black holes are also different in behavior. Up until recently, people believed that black holes had between 5 and 15 times the mass of the sun. However, Ohio State University‘s professor Todd Thompson stated that scientists found a huge red star, which seemed to orbit something way smaller to be a black hole in Milky Way.

After they have taken a look at the data from the Gaia satellite, and many other sources, they found out that there was a black hole, which weighted 3.3 times the mass of the sun, which is lighter than others. This changed everything we knew so far about black holes.

If they really did find a new kind of black holes, we can find out more about the stars that explode, which then form the black holes, which then form neutron stars. The mass is telling us more about both their formation and evolution, and they also say a lot about their nature.

First Smartphone from the TikTok maker ByteDance is Awesome

0

The smartphone industry is becoming more and more active, due to the fact that such devices are becoming even more popular than PC’s. With Huawei and OnePlus gathering huge success from the selling of their manufactured smartphones, another Chinese company brings such device to the market: ByteDance.

ByteDance has revealed its first smartphone called The Nut Pro 3, which takes place in the Smartisan brand. The phone manufacturer had an agreement with the TikTok owner to transfer some of its employees and patents. A spokesman of ByteDance declared:

“the product was a continuation of earlier Smartisan plans, aiming to satisfy the needs of the old Smartisan user base”

High-tech specs

The Nut Pro 3 has some pretty impressive specs for a debut smartphone.  The cameras can compete with those from Samsung or iPhone devices since the device has a staggering 48 MP camera setup sensor. Just imagining what kind of photos would you take with such a camera makes you eager to grab that phone!

The Nut Pro 3 is powered by the best processor from Qualcomm: Snapdragon 855 Plus. It’s also equipped with a 4,000 mAh battery, a fingerprint sensor, and other interesting features.

The phone even brings out Douyin any time the user wants, with a simple swiping up. For those who don’t know, Douyin is the Chinese version of the social media video app TikTok.

Price

Despite its high-end specs, the Nut Pro 3 phone is expected to be pretty affordable, if not even cheap. The selling of it already has begun in its home country China, at a price of 2,899 yuan ($412). Therefore, we can expect the prices of the phone from different places of the world to be not far away from that amount.

The Nut Pro 3 is also known as Jianguo Pro 3, and it’s nice to see another company from China who wants to compete with the more notorious smartphone manufacturers from Asia, like Samsung, Huawei, Oneplus, LG, or Xiaomi.

Huawei’s Upcoming Tablet Resembles the iPad Pro Thanks to the Punch-Hole Camera

0

Evan Blass, who’s a well-known leaker, has posted some images about Huawei’s upcoming tablet, which is known to be called MatePad Pro. The devices look a lot like iPad Pro, with thin bezels and display corners that are round. The keyboard is almost identical to the Smart Keyboard Folio from Apple. In those photos posted by Blass, there’s an M-Pen stylus that also resembles an Apple product, the Apple Pencil. Apparently, the main difference is the camera in the design, which has a punch-hole cutout in the top left of the display.

This is the first time that a punch-hole design is used on a tablet. That’s where the selfie camera would be placed, and it also happens with smartphones. A reliable source talks about its nickname “Marx,” but that won’t be the name of the device, that’s for sure. “Marx” will come with the company’s smart magnetic keyboard and the M-Pen Stylus. We are probably talking about the successor of the MediaPad M6, which might be called MediaPad M7.

The company made the bezels around the screen even slimmer, and there’s no fingerprint sensor. This maybe suggests that there is an in-display fingerprint sensor which may be used for this tablet. On the back of the device, there’s the pill-shaped camera module with dual sensors and an LED flash. At the bottom, there’s the USB Type-C port. The color options will probably be White and Black.

The device will have flagship specs, like the Kirin 990 CPU and up to 8GB RAM for both black and white versions.

The bezels seem to be thicker than those on the iPad Pro, so the punch-hole camera is a weird decision.

We Won’t Get a New Battlefield Next Year. When Will the Game Be Released?

0

Sad news for Battlefield fans – EA has confirmed that there would be no new game released next year, in 2020. The game is set to hit the market in the company’s 2022 fiscal year.

Battlefield 5

In its official review, IGN gave Battlefield 5 a 7.5 out of 10 score. Apparently, there are some technical issues and some gaps in the content, which disappointed some people. Ever since that happened, EA and DICE have both tried to address these problems, but people have started to lose interest in the multiplayer mode, including the battle royale duos mode. The community of Battlefield 5 was confused about the roadmap which included some mistakes, as well.

The developer DICE has recently talked about Battlefield 5, which was released a year ago, but with no new game this year, fans have started wondering if Battlefield might hit the market in 2020.

But during the Q2 Fiscal 2020 earnings, EA has confirmed that they won’t release a new Battlefield game until its 2022 fiscal year. This was also noted by Niko Partners’ games industry analyst named Daniel Ahmad. This means that the next game will be here between April 2021 and the end of March 2022.

Apex Legends is the one thriving right now

In a tweet, Apex Legends said that the game has hit 70 million players all around the globe and that they are thankful for all the support they get from their fans.

Since Battlefield is not here, the developer Respawn Entertainment and its game Apex Legends will be EA’s primary shooter. We’ve also heard that the publisher wants to expand the free battle royale game, which was released earlier this year and already has over 70 million players all around the globe. They want to get the game for mobile and other platforms, besides PS4, Xbox One, and PC. the company also wants to release the game in China, too, and in the e-sports scene.

 

 

EA Is Focusing Now on Its Present Games and Here’s Why 

0

We know everything so far about EA’s quarterly earnings from last year, and it’s all thanks to the games they published as “live services.”. we are talking about the ones that are constantly updated in order to keep people interested in games, and keep playing them longer, and also paying for additional content and expansions.

This also includes Anthem, which the company didn’t find success with. But the company also released Apex Legends, which right now has over 70 million players, just as Ultimate Team features on FIFA, the NHL games, and Madden.

The Sims 4 had a monthly average of players of about 40% from last year, so their plan to make it available for free earlier was a good one. The series of games now is registered for more than $5 billion. The EA Access package also came to Steam on PC, too, after the CEO said that launching the game on PS4 grew the subscriber base with a lot.

EA thinks of engagement as a significant measure of success, which means that future games will keep players linked.

Earlier this year, we also learned that Apex Legends will also get a mobile version and that it will be launched in China. There’s also a competitive gaming program, but we don’t know much so far. Soon we’ll get more info about it.

Right now, the company focuses on the content of the existing game – Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Battlefield V’s Pacific Theater, and season three of Apex. There’s a new Battlefield game that is set to hit the gaming world in the 2022 fiscal year, which means that it would be perfect for the next-gen consoles. Other than unannounced brand new games and IP, that’s all we have so far.
