Wi-Fi 6 is the newest version of the 802.11 standard for wireless networking -- the language that devices use to send signals back and forth with your router. It's still very early and only a handful of devices support the standard. The Samsung Galaxy S10 is the most notable example.

What is Spidercam? Controversial Camera used again for Amazon Prime Premier League matches this week
SPIDERCAM caused a stir when it was in the Premier League a couple of seasons ago, and now it returns! And the birds-eye view technology is back on Amazon Prime's coverage of Premier League football this week. What is Spidercam and how does it work? Spidercam uses a state-of-the-art camera suspended from four wires - one in each corner of the ground - to follow the action. It can pan 360 degrees while keeping level and also has a zoom function and image stabilisers. It never drops below 10metres and will be lifted to the height of the stadium for goal kicks or when the keeper has the ball in his hands. An operator controls the camera pitchside to provide birds-eye footage of the action.It is apparently especially useful for pundits doing tactical analysis at half-time and full-time.Which football events have used Spidercam in the past? Spidercam made its World Cup debut in South Africa and was again included at Brazil 2014. Fifa first allowed its use in Asian … [Read more...] about What is Spidercam?

Carnival Row review: Amazon’s big-budget Game of Thrones hopeful wastes fantastic Orlando Bloom, Cara Delevingne
Carnival RowCast - Orlando Bloom, Cara Delevingne, David Gyasi, Indira Verma, Jared HarrisRating - 2/5 Part police procedural, part star-crossed romance, and part socio-political parable, Amazon Prime Video’s big-budget new drama, Carnival Row, suffers from an identity crisis. After a breezy couple of episodes spent setting up its richly detailed fantasy world, the show gets diverted by distractions of its own making.Had it focused on any one of its multiple overarching themes - personally, I could’ve lived without the love story - Carnival Row would have been a far more enjoyable experience. Instead, as it stands, it’s a suitably ambitious, admirably well-intentioned, but miserably muddled programme.Watch the Carnival Row trailer here Its premise gives off a strong whiff of the Netflix film Bright, which most people seem to scrunch their noses at, but whose low-brow ludicrousness I inhaled deeply back in 2016. Like that … [Read more...] about Carnival Row review: Amazon’s big-budget Game of Thrones hopeful wastes fantastic Orlando Bloom, Cara Delevingne
An Energetic Journey Through Kacey Musgraves’s Magical Amazon Christmas Special
If you are like me—a Kacey MusHead absolutely jacked on the holiday spirit and also harboring a potent disdain for the Amazon corporation as a whole—this is somewhat of a complicated Christmas season, what with the Amazon Prime release of The Kacey Musgraves Christmas Show and all. Do I try to avoid Amazon, even though their infrastructure hosts, like, half of the internet? Yes. Am I upset that Kacey is headlining this weekend’s Intersect Fest when other artists dropped out and formed the “No Music for ICE” boycott? Yes. Do I look at Jeff Bezos and see a shiny-headed nightmare specter standing upon the smoldering ruins of late capitalism, laughing all the way to the (blood-of-18-year-olds) bank? Yes. Advertisement But also, does my slightly depressed ass need a little boost of intellectually vacant sparkle right now? I mean. So I borrowed a friend’s Amazon Prime password and had some thoughts about a special specifically designed to be void of … [Read more...] about An Energetic Journey Through Kacey Musgraves’s Magical Amazon Christmas Special
The Aeronauts: Felicity Jones ignites Amazon’s air balloon adventure
The Aeronauts is the soaring story of some of the first people to go higher than anyone had ever been before. They ascended over Victorian rooftops and beyond the clouds with just a wicker basket, some hot air and unshakeable human aspiration -- and very nice hair (because these aeronauts are played by Rogue One star Felicity Jones and Fantastic Beasts finder Eddie Redmayne). The Aeronauts is in theaters in the US starting on Friday. It's then available for streaming online on Amazon Prime Video from Dec. 20, but thanks to some nail-biting adventure in breathtakingly big skies it's genuinely worth catching on a big screen. Having previously appeared with Jones in Stephen Hawking biopic The Theory of Everything, Redmayne once again plays a historical figure who dared to dream. This time he's James Glaisher, a real-life meteorologist who in the 1860s took to the skies to advance the study of weather conditions. The film follows a single record-breaking flight in a hot air … [Read more...] about The Aeronauts: Felicity Jones ignites Amazon’s air balloon adventure
