The iPhone maker has also expanded its 'Express' format, a wall built in front of the main store with sales counters protected by plexiglass and a few shelves of accessories such as phone cases and AirPods. Apple said on Monday all its 270 U.S. stores have been opened, the first time in almost a year after it was forced to shutter several outlets because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The company has been cautious in re-opening its retail stores, using a team that includes medical experts to make its own calls on a county-by-county basis and sometimes shuttering stores again when local rules would otherwise allow stores to operate.

It is the world’s first bank-led tokenised value transfer in space, executed via smart contracts on a blockchain network, established between satellites orbiting the earth.

The transaction was executed between two GOMX-4 satellites in the low Earth orbit (LEO), which validated the approach towards a decentralised network where communication with the earth is not necessary.

You can think of SArdo, a new drone project created by researchers at Germany’s NEC Laboratories Europe GmbH, as Apple’s “Find My” app on steroids.“SARDO is a single-UAV [unmanned aerial vehicle] solution designed to localize victims in disaster scenarios by leveraging only on their cellular connectivity,” Antonio Albanese, a research associate at NEC Laboratories Europe, told Digital Trends. For starters, SARDO ostensibly stands, in the awkward backronym way such projects frequently do, for “Search-And-Rescue DrOne-based solution.” While there are no shortage of projects that have investigated the use of drones for search-and-rescue missions in settings like disaster zones, what makes SARDO stand (or, at least, hover) apart is how it tracks down missing people: By using their phone signals.“To the best of our knowledge, this is the first single-drone search-and-rescue solution able to accurately localize missing victims only through mobile phones,” Albanese said.

Whether you’re going to be hosting viewing parties at your house or you just need a good excuse to upgrade your current TV, we’ve got you covered with all the best TV deals for March Madness that are on offer right now.

Like the Galaxy Note 20 and Galaxy S20 FE from last year, the Galaxy S21 has a “glasstic” back. The Galaxy S21 will be Samsung’s first series of flagships to fully realize Samsung’s promise of extended software support, meaning this phone will be fully supported for at least three years. While that may end up being true of Samsung’s lineup this year, the good news is that Samsung is starting off from a great place. That’s not to say the screen doesn’t look good — like almost every Samsung Galaxy device in recent years, it looks great — but that you might notice the lack of resolution a bit more than you would on the S21 Ultra.
