Mass extinctions made life on earth more diverse-
and might again
Mass extinction millions of years ago killed the dinosaurs then
came people.There are many that believe that all the different
animals going extinct each year might lead to the next one
which includes all of us going as well.
Giving legal rights to nature could reduce public
health threats like toxic algae
Toxic outbreaks are caused by nature and the laws to protect
them can prevent this.August and September are peak
months so right now is the time where these laws should be
put in place.
This distant world is a lot like Earth, but you wouldn't
want to live there
Telescopes hunting for flickering, wobbling stars have located more than 4,000 potential exoplanets in
recent decades, some of whichorbit in the not-too-cold, not-too-hot zone around their host star where
water would have a shot at staying liquid. Others have even been found to harbor actual molecules of H 2
O. The exoplanet K2-18b, however, is the first to check both boxes, according to two studies published
this week. Unfortunately, a few other decidedly unearth-like characteristics make K2018b an improbable
home for life as we know it. But the discovery represented
Last week in tech: Apple's iPhone 11, Land Rover's
new Defender, and Nintendo's weird controller
Nothing dominates a week of tech news
quite like an iPhone launch event. This week,
Apple unleashed a bevy of new products,
including the iPhone 11 (which comes in
standard and Pro versions), as well as the
Apple Watch 5, a new $329 iPad, and details
about its upcoming services like Apple TV+
and Apple Arcade. You can catch up on all
the specifics in our event post.
Four of the best printers for your home office

The Brother Laser Printer is a solid option if you’re looking for a basic black and
white printer and don’t need a scanner (you can always use your phone). It’s not
too bulky or delicate and can print double-sided. The standard cartridge (which
comes separately) will print a whopping 1,200 pages. If you just need to print
boarding passes and work documents, this is a good bet.
Your browser doesn't have to be boring

You probably use your web browser daily for both work and play, but you don't have to just
accept your window onto the web as it was when you first installed it. Each popular browser
actually offers fairly extensive customization options you should really be taking advantage
of.Whether you want easier access to a much-used browser extension, or you've gotten tired of
your browser’s default colors, you can tweak the individual interfaces of Google Chrome, Mozilla
Firefox, Apple’s Safari, and Microsoft Edge in numerous ways.
Sonos Move speaker review: Great sound in a semi-
portable package
On-paper, the Sonos Move speaker doesn’t make a ton of sense. It’s a portable speaker that weighs six pounds
and promises just 10 hours of battery life—when some of its competition claim more than double that number. At
10 inches tall and six-inches around, it’s too big to easily stuff into a typical day bag or backpack. And it costs
$400, which is extremely high if you’re only comparing it to other Bluetooth speakers Listen to music on the
Move, however, and its purpose becomes much clearer. Inside your house, the Move works just as you’d expect
with a Sonos product. It connects to networks and devices easily to a , it sounds great (more on that in a
moment), and it even looks good in a distinguished way that eschews some of the loud graphic styling and
flashing UFO lights some other companies seem to love putting on their portable speakers.
Facebook's new Portal video chat devices are smaller,
cheaper, and facing stiffer competition
This morning, Facebook announced updates to itsPortal line of video chat devices
and dropped the prices on its existing gadgets. The Portals, for the most part,
provide a permanent video chat hub integrated with some voice assistant features.
The line debuted last year, but it landed hot on the heels of some of the company's
biggest privacy scandals. They were also rather pricey. The $199 standard model
with a 10-inch screen wasn't a bad deal, but the luxurious Portal+, which added
fancy features like a rotating base and face tracking to follow you around as you
chat, demanded a high price tag of $349. And with recent additions to the video
chat/smart screen space from Google and Amazon, we could be getting closer to
widespread adoption.
