The Samsung QN800A is a new 8K TV from Samsung that uses mini-LED technology to bring a super bright 8K display into your living room. While there is still a lack of 8K content, the QN800A's impressive upscaling capabilities, gaming features, beautiful design and impressive smart-TV features make this a great option for early adopters. While the 4K Samsung Q90A is a more affordable option, the QN800A commands a higher price, starting at $3,499 and priced at $4,799 for the 75-inch model I tested. The 2021 Samsung QN800A is expensive, but even with the lack of 8K content, it makes sense for an early adopter who wants to enjoy the benefits of Samsung's upscaling technology, which makes 4K and HD content look even better on the 8K screen. Thanks to the smaller LEDs and the new Neo Quantum Processor 8K, Samsung's 2021 8K TVs deliver brighter brights and deeper blacks without the traditional bleeding of light into the dark that plagues traditional LED TVs. … [Read more...] about The Samsung QN800A Review: Bright 8K Display and Beautiful Design

Android N’s three multi-window modes, explained
Android N There's more to multitasking in Android N than split-screen mode. Alex Dobie 24 May 2016 18 One of the biggest user-facing features of Android N is the ability to run more than one app on the screen at a time. Sure, some manufacturers like Samsung and LG have offered similar features for years, but from N onwards it'll be supported at the operating-system level, which means better app support, and (eventually) less custom code. When most people think about multi-window mode, they imagine the traditional split-screen view pioneered by Samsung and LG, and included in newer iPad models. However Android N actually has three distinct ways to run more than one app at once. Let's dive in. The Android Central App alongside the Android Central website. Split-screen mode This is your standard multi-window mode, as you might have come to know on some Samsung, LG and Huawei phones. The screen is split between two different apps, either … [Read more...] about Android N’s three multi-window modes, explained
22 years after The Matrix, simulation hypothesis movies are booming again
In the 1990s, there was a strange trend where two movies about the same topic came out in the same year. For example, Volcano and Dante’s Peak , both movies about killer volcanos, hit theaters in 1997. The next year, in 1998, both Deep Impact and Armageddon were about heavenly bodies crashing into Earth. This trend perhaps reached its zenith the next year, in 1999, with two movies about the idea that we live inside a video-game-like world: The Matrix and The Thirteenth Floor . In the years since, the idea that we might be living inside an ultrarealistic simulation — known as the simulation hypothesis — has moved from pure science fiction to serious speculation among scientists, philosophers, and academics. In fact, when I released my book, The Simulation Hypothesis: An MIT Computer Scientist Shows Why AI, Quantum Physics and Eastern Mystics Agree We Are in a Video Game , I chose an auspicious date: March 31, 2019, exactly 20 years from the day that The Matrix hit … [Read more...] about 22 years after The Matrix, simulation hypothesis movies are booming again
30 Years of Notre Dame on NBC: In Review
Editor’s Note: The original intention of the “30 Years of Notre Dame on NBC” series was to set the stage for the 30th year of the partnership. But then 2020 intervened with a fury, and the season did not grant the time to publish the last half dozen entries. As 2020’s reach lengthens 2021’s winter doldrums , there is no reason not to walk down those memory lanes now. So ends our trip through 30 years of “Notre Dame on NBC.” It took longer than expected, concluded with the No. 3 moment instead of the No. 1 and somehow missed the only tie in 196 games broadcast by the Peacock. But all in all, hopefully it fit the bill initially promised , if on a delayed timeline: “The intent is to add some variety to the next seven months, walk you down memory lane a few times and maybe even laugh once or twice.” There certainly was variety, perhaps even instructive variety. College football has hardly changed since Arkansas athletic director Frank Broyles described the “ND on NBC” … [Read more...] about 30 Years of Notre Dame on NBC: In Review
