The Canadian Armed Forces revealed late Thursday that it is monitoring a “potential second incident” related to the discovery of a massive Chinese balloon over Montana that the Communist Party claimed had drifted off course and coincidentally landed near American military sites of high importance. The Pentagon confirmed late Thursday that it had identified what it suspected was a Chinese surveillance balloon over Montana, near an area housing nuclear missile silo fields. A Pentagon spokesman insisted the balloon was “currently traveling at an altitude well above commercial air traffic and does not present a military or physical threat to people on the ground.” Pentagon officials reportedly opted not to shoot the balloon down, despite the overt national security threat it causes, out of concern that debris from the destroyed balloon could hurt people on the ground. The Communist Party of China confirmed on Friday that the balloon originated in China, but claimed it … [Read more...] about Canada Says It Is Monitoring ‘Potential Second Incident’ Linked to Chinese Alleged Spy Balloon

The topic of driver distraction is one we've covered a lot here at Ars. Whether due to the proliferation of smartphones, touchscreen infotainment systems that are now fitted to most new cars, or people simply not paying attention, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that 400,000 people were injured and 2,841 killed as a result of distracted drivers in 2018.

But a new technology demoed by Texas Instruments at this year's (virtual) CES might mean there's much less reason for drivers to take their eyes off the road ahead.

Audio player loading… All has so far been quiet on the Sony Xperia 1 V front, despite the fact that it’s surely in the works. But the first leaks are now emerging, and they include an image seemingly showing the back of the phone. This was shared by a poster on the Esato forums (opens in new tab) going by the name Speckles. It was then spotted by leaker ZackBuks (opens in new tab) on Weibo (via Android Authority (opens in new tab) ), who notes that the main and ultra-wide cameras appear to have changed from the ones on the Sony Xperia 1 IV , but adds that they don’t know if this image is accurate or not – so take it with a pinch of salt. Changes to these cameras – which look like they might have bigger lenses this year – are likely to be for the better, and those aren’t the only potentially positive changes. The camera block also contains all the sensors this time, rather than some sitting outside it, creating a neater look. However, that’s been … [Read more...] about The first leaked Sony Xperia 1 V image shows camera upgrades and downgrades

Audio player loading… Thanks to an avalanche of leaks we have a pretty clear idea of what the Samsung Galaxy S23 series will probably offer when they launch today (February 1), and now we’ve seen how Samsung will likely promote its new phones, thanks to an extensive Twitter thread. The thread comes from Evan Blass (opens in new tab) , who has a superb track record, and in any case these are clearly either real marketing materials, or the best fakes we’ve ever seen. Sadly, Blass’s tweets are protected, so we can't embed them here, but if you’re a follower we’d recommend clicking through to see them. We’ve included some imagery below, but the tweets include videos that are worth a watch if you can’t wait until the official Samsung Galaxy S23 series unveiling at 10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm GMT today.

Audio player loading… It’s a sad day for our favorite gimmick Twitter accounts, as we might have to soon say goodbye to them. Late Wednesday night, the official Twitter Developer account announced the platform will stop offering free access to the platform’s API (Application Programming Interface) on February 9. Access to Twitter API v1.1 and v2 will soon be replaced with a “paid basic tier,” which may further cripple third-party support. Twitter API (opens in new tab) allows third-party developers to access publicly available Twitter data to create bots or apps for the site. We're not just talking about bots like RemindMe_OfThis that basically remind users of tweets they come across; researchers have, in the past, used the API to track online hate speech (opens in new tab) . It appears that the developers are trying to capitalize on the sheer amount of data on the platform. As the Twitter Developer account said in a thread (opens in new tab) , “Over the … [Read more...] about Twitter API no longer free as platform will begin charging, angering developers
