Monarch butterflies might be tougher than we give them credit for. The orange beauties made a surprising comeback in Mexico this winter, environmental organizations and Mexico’s commission for natural protected areas announced this week. To avoid frigid temperatures further north, the butterflies flutter thousands of miles south from Canada and the US to spend the winter months in Mexico. This December, authorities there recorded a 35 percent rise in the monarch butterfly’s presence in Mexican forests. It’s a show of resilience for a species whose numbers have dwindled to worrying lows in the region over the past decade. They face serious threats from habitat destruction and climate change , so much so that the nonprofit Center for Biological Diversity launched a lawsuit last year to urge the US to protect them under the Endangered Species Act. The butterflies drape themselves across the forest, at times thick enough to change the color of the landscape from green … [Read more...] about Monarch butterflies saw a resurgence in Mexico

Good news for Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 owners: the wait is over. Google Assistant is finally available for download starting today. Google Assistant for Wear OS 3 is available for download in the Google Play Store and can be launched from the Galaxy Watch 4 and Watch 4 Classic’s app menu. However, you can also use voice commands to open Google Assistant or reprogram the watches’ home button as a shortcut. This update has been a long time coming. When Google and Samsung first announced Wear OS 3, the companies promised that the unified platform would give Samsung smartwatch users more choice in apps. Previously, Samsung’s Tizen-based smartwatches could only offer Bixby as a digital assistant. The idea was that Wear OS 3 would let consumers choose between Bixby and Google Assistant. The same would be true for apps like Google Pay. Google Assistant has been notably absent from the Galaxy Watch 4 since its launch last year. Despite user frustrations, Google and Samsung continued to … [Read more...] about Google Assistant is finally available on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 4

Audio player loading… The Samsung Galaxy S line is made up of largely fantastic phones, but one issue that has long affected them is the use of a different chipset in different parts of the world, with one of those chipsets inevitably being weaker. Now though, it looks like Samsung might finally be addressing that issue. According to Naver (opens in new tab) (a South Korean news site), Samsung is creating a "dream team" of around 1000 employees to build a chipset designed specifically for Galaxy smartphones. Now, this apparently won’t be ready in time for the Samsung Galaxy S23 or even the Galaxy S24, but supposedly the resources required in developing this new chipset means Samsung won’t make Exynos chipsets for those phones, relying purely on Qualcomm Snapdragon ones worldwide. In other words, every model of the Samsung Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S24 might have a Snapdragon chipset, rather than some regions getting Snapdragon and others getting a Samsung-made … [Read more...] about Samsung Galaxy S23 might fix the S22’s biggest problem

Audio player loading… Microsoft has announced that Windows 11 is ready for “broad deployment”, meaning it should be rolled out to more devices across the world. Revealed in an update to its Windows dashboard (opens in new tab) , the news comes as Windows 11 is seeing relatively slow adoption in comparison to previous iterations. Its CPU requirements have proved difficult for many business computers and business laptops to meet, with the result that recent research found there are actually more PCs running Windows XP than systems which have adopted Windows 11. What’s next for Windows 11? Microsoft has decided not to go ahead with a planned Windows 11 update that would have sacrificed some existing taskbar functionality in favour of a cleaner look for those using tablet devices, as Microsoft does not offer a separate standalone operating system for tablets. It hasn’t just been users that have struggled with Windows 11 system requirements … [Read more...] about There may soon officially be no escape from Windows 11 on your PC

Audio player loading… Back before the launch of the Apple Watch 7 , numerous leaks suggested the wearable would have a new design, with a flat screen and sides. And then, when it launched, this turned out to be wrong - it looked much the same as ever, albeit with a larger display. However it seems though that those leaks might have been right – just wrong about which Apple Watch would be getting this design. That’s because according to leaker ShrimpApplePro (opens in new tab) , an upcoming Apple Watch (likely the Apple Watch 8 ) has a flat display. Now, this leaker hasn’t got as much of a track record as some, so we’d take this with a pinch of salt, but Jon Prosser (opens in new tab) – who was the original leaker of the flat design last year – is taking it seriously. Prosser claims that the unofficial renders he made were based on an actual photo he’d seen, so he’s certain that Apple was, or is, working on a watch with this design. He also noted that in his … [Read more...] about Apple Watch 8 could have a new flat design – which we first saw a year ago

Audio player loading… YouTube Music on Wear OS (opens in new tab) is finally able to stream music over LTE and Wi-Fi. Previously, you had to download an entire playlist to your smartwatch in order to listen to music. In a recent community post (opens in new tab) , Google explained that users will now have access to over 80 million songs and thousands of playlists on the YouTube Music platform.

This all sounds like great news and are good additions to Wear OS, but there is a pretty big caveat attached. According to Google, you must be a … [Read more...] about YouTube Music app finally lets you stream music on Wear OS – but limits iOS in one key way
