Starlink’s Satellite Cellular Service to Debut in 2024, Primarily for SMS

Starlink's long-anticipated satellite cellular service, Direct-to-Cell, is set to start rolling out for SMS in 2024, as indicated by a recently published promotional site from the company.

Debunking Weight Loss Myths: The Ins and Outs of Volume Eating

False: The key to weight loss is not always just eating fewer calories and burning more. A trending diet approach called "volume eating" challenges this notion. This method encourages the consumption of high-volume, low-energy foods, providing a sensation of fullness without excessive calorie intake. Lisa Moskovitz, RD, CEO of Virtual Nutrition Experts, explains that it involves foods rich in water and fiber, such as fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. However, this approach may not suit individuals with specific medical conditions or dietary restrictions. Consulting a healthcare professional is vital for those with such concerns. What Is Volume Eating? Volume eating centers around consuming larger quantities of low-calorie-density, high-volume foods like fr...

Bad Weather Delays SpaceX’s Psyche Mission to October 13

The launch of NASA's Psyche asteroid mission has been delayed until 10:19 a.m. EDT (1419 GMT) on Friday (Oct. 13), to account for inclement weather that's barreling in from the Gulf of Mexico. Psyche, NASA's probe to explore a metal asteroid of the same name, was scheduled to launch on Thursday morning (Oct. 12) on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket from Pad 39A here at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center. However, during a prelaunch press briefing on Wednesday (Oct. 11) , bleak predictions for the next morning’s forecast left only a 20% chance of favorable weather conditions. As Wednesday night’s storms blew in, the decision was made to forgo Thursday’s launch attempt to capitalize on the better weather predicted for launch windows on Friday and Saturday (Oct. 14).

Netflix to Release Barbie Documentary Produced by the Team Behind Bridgerton

The Barbie phenomenon shows no signs of slowing down, as Netflix is set to release a documentary centered on the history of the Black Barbie. This surge in Barbie-related content was initially sparked by Greta Gerwig's Barbie movie, which premiered in theaters on July 21. The film achieved both critical and commercial success, earning a remarkable $1.4 billion at the box office and claiming the title of the year's biggest movie. Gerwig's creation undeniably triggered a cultural Barbie craze, leading to a resurgence of interest in all things Barbie. The Black Barbie documentary, as its name suggests, delves into the origin of the first Black Barbie doll, which made its debut in 1980, three decades after the original Barbie hit the market in 1959. The documentary places a spotlight on th...

Russian Nauka Module Faces ISS Leak Concerns

The International Space Station (ISS) has encountered another leak, with the Russian Nauka module suspected as the source. This leak appears to involve coolant from a backup radiator on the Nauka module. Flight controllers first noticed flakes from one of the Nauka radiators using cameras aboard the orbiting laboratory. The crew was then directed to investigate, and NASA astronaut Jasmin Moghbeli confirmed the issue from the windows of the Cupola module. As a precaution, window shutters on the US segment of the ISS were closed to prevent any potential contamination, although the crew is not in any immediate danger. The challenge lies in addressing the problem and restoring redundancy, as losing the backup radiator is less than ideal. According to the Russian space agency Roscosmos, ...

Kuo Suggests Limited Innovation in 2024 Apple Watch

Supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that the 2024 Apple Watch is unlikely to introduce significant innovative features. According to Kuo, this watch will not include a micro-LED display or blood glucose monitoring in 2024. He anticipates that these features are at least two years away from being integrated into the Apple Watch. It remains uncertain whether Kuo's prediction precludes the launch of the rumored "Apple Watch X" in the coming year. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman had previously mentioned the possibility of a substantial overhaul with the "Apple Watch X," set to be released in either 2024 or 2025, coinciding with the device's tenth anniversary. The original Apple Watch was announced in September 2014 and became available in April 2015. Kuo's information provided today is s...
