Jupiter Drama

From nasa.gov:

Dramatic atmospheric features in Jupiter’s northern hemisphere are captured in this view from NASA’s Juno spacecraft. The new perspective shows swirling clouds that surround a circular feature within a jet stream region called “Jet N6.”

Crazy planet that one.

Future Apple Watch

From Bloomberg:

Apple Inc. is said to be testing a sleep monitor for a future version of its smartwatch, a feature that would bolster the company in the health- and fitness-tracking market.

Nice one.

Facebook moderators

From The Verge:

She spent the past three and a half weeks in training, trying to harden herself against the daily onslaught of disturbing posts: the hate speech, the violent attacks, the graphic pornography. In a few more days, she will become a full-time Facebook content moderator, or what the company she works for, a professional services vendor named Cognizant, opaquely calls a “process executive.”

Shit job.

Ultima Thule

From nasa.gov:

These new images of Ultima Thule – obtained by the telephoto Long-Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) just six-and-a-half minutes before New Horizons’ closest approach to the object (officially named 2014 MU69) at 12:33 a.m. EST on Jan. 1, 2019 – offer a resolution of about 110 feet (33 meters) per pixel. Their combination of high spatial resolution and a favorable viewing angle gives the team an unprecedented opportunity to investigate the surface, as well as the origin and evolution, of Ultima Thule, which is thought to be the most primitive object ever encountered by a spacecraft.

Fascinating! Very cool!

Playstation 5…

From The Verge:

It’s that time again in the console generation. Your games look better than ever, but you’re starting to notice stutters and glitches a little more frequently, and you’re wondering when the console that’s sat under your TV for the past five years might benefit from an upgrade. When can we expect a new PlayStation or Xbox, and what will they be like?

Not soon though me thinks.

What is iCloud Drive

From 9to5Mac:

To put it simply, iCloud Drive is like Google Drive or Dropbox, but for iOS devices. Unlike other cloud storage solutions, iCloud Drive is built right into iOS and macOS, and allows you to store data in the cloud.

For those that don’t know.

Mini Wiki

From 9to5Mac:

MiniWiki is a new app from developer Will Bishop that allows you to browse Wikipedia directly from your Apple Watch. The app supports features like popular articles around you, offline reading, bookmarks, and more.

Cool stuff.

To the Moon

From arsTechnica:

“We want to strike a balance between getting to the Moon as fast as possible while also, when we get to the Moon, we’re there to stay,” NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said during a media call before the event. “This is the big vision.”

This is late. Should have been there already.
