Samsung is adding support to their phones for digital car keys with the all-electric Genesis GV60. A growing number of manufacturers are launching digital car keys, but there are risks attached. “One of the biggest vulnerabilities is key cloning,” cybersecurity expert Scott Schober told Lifewire in an email interview. “Cybercriminals can exploit an encryption flaw using a simple RFID transmitter. This allows them to copy the signal that is produced by the key fobs, which criminals could then use to unlock the target victim’s car....

The new OLED displays were developed from existing designs for electrodes of ultra-thin solar panels, Stanford researchers, and collaborators in Korea, announced in a recent paper. The new technology could power resolutions of up to 10,000 pixels per inch (PPI) compared to the 400 to 500 PPI of today’s smartphones. “A higher pixel density allows the display to show more detail, allowing it to more closely mimic the human eye,” Stefan Engel, Vice President & General Manager of Visuals Business at device manufacturer Lenovo, whose company was not involved in the research, said in an email interview....

The field of DNA information storage is rapidly accelerating with recent announcements of breakthroughs by researchers in the United States and China. Experts say that DNA offers the potential to pack more information into a smaller space than conventional drives. “You can think of your one terabyte microSD memory card; it weighs about 250 milligrams,” Hieu Bui, a professor who studies DNA computing at The Catholic University of America, told Lifewire in an email interview....

The US Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration announced standards intended to make the national EV charging network more user-friendly, with similar payment systems, pricing information, charging speeds, and more. The proposed rule would establish the groundwork for states to build federally-funded charging station projects across a national EV charging network. “For long-distance travel, a robust network of chargers along major routes, like highway rest stops, is needed,” Jeremy Michalek, a professor of engineering and public policy at Carnegie Mellon College of Engineering, who studies EVs, told Lifewire in an email interview....

Researchers recently devised a method to expand DNA’s data storage by artificially extending the DNA alphabet. It’s part of a broad effort to use DNA to hold computer information. “DNA is 1 million times denser than the densest mainstream digital storage device,” Luis Ceze, a computer science and engineering professor who studies DNA storage at the University of Washington, told Lifewire in an email interview. Long-Lasting Storage DNA contains four chemicals—adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine—often referred to by the initials A, G, C, and T....

The single-player campaigns cover a wide range of battles and operations from both the Western Front and Eastern Front of the European Theater. Playable nations include different armies from the United States, United Kingdom, Soviet Union, and Germany. To date, there hasn’t been a Company of Heroes game or expansion that includes and battles or forces from the Pacific Theater....

What Is a PDB File? A file with the PDB file extension is most likely a program database file that’s used to hold debugging information about a program or module, like a DLL or EXE file. They’re sometimes called symbol files. The file maps various components and statements in source code to its final compiled product, which the debugger can then use to find the source file and the location in the executable at which it should stop the debugging process....

How to Write a Certificate Title Below are generic certification headings that can apply to a number of situations....

Choosing the right food delivery service boils down to a few important criteria. Is the service available in your area? What variety of choices are available? How much does each service cost? Is the website or mobile app user friendly? While both DoorDash and Uber Eats score fairly well in all of these areas, each performs better in some ways more than others. Overall Findings In general, if you’re choosing between DoorDash or Uber Eats, your choice may boil down to variety or delivery status updates....

A storage area network is a type of local area network (LAN) that handles large data transfers and bulk storage of digital information. A SAN typically supports data storage, retrieval and replication on business networks using high-end servers, multiple disk arrays and interconnect technology. Storage Networks vs. Client-Server Networks Storage networks work differently from mainstream client-server networks due to the special nature of their workloads. For example, home networks normally feature users browsing the Internet, which involves relatively small amounts of data at varying times....

So, instead of shopping for the new 12.9-inch or 11-inch iPad Pro, the 10.9-inch iPad Air, the 10.2-inch entry-level iPad, or even the iPad Mini 5, maybe you should check out an affordable refurbished 7.9-inch iPad Mini 4. The iPad Mini 4 was released in 2015 at the same time as the iPad Air 2. It represented a considerable upgrade over the iPad Mini 3. The iPad Mini 4 is manufactured in two models: Wi-Fi only or Wi-Fi with 4G LTE data connectivity....

The cameras give Gabon wildlife rangers a new tool in the fight against poaching by capturing pictures of trespassers. The systems can also monitor biodiversity loss by counting the number of animals in an area. “Regular cameras can activate ‘mechanically’ when something triggers them, for example, movement or sound,” AI expert James Caton told Lifewire in an email interview. “AI embedded in the camera can more intelligently activate when items of interest pass within the frame – for example, a person or poacher versus a moose....

Similar to a cable or satellite menu, you scroll through the categories and select what you want to see or hear (no need to install additional apps)....

The best home theater PCs are both small and powerful, which means they tend to be expensive as well. If you’re working on a budget, then you can expect to sacrifice either size, power, or both to hit your desired price point. Some more affordable options that lack the power of more advanced home theater PCs include options like stick PCs and Chrome-based systems. You can also use a laptop as a home theater PC in a pinch, but that isn’t the most elegant solution....

This is all fine and good, but what makes it green? The environmental consideration comes in three key points. First, there’s a motion sensor to allow for auto on/off features. This means that you won’t accidentally leave your light on wasting energy. There’s also what Dyson is calling “Heat Pipe Technology,” which keeps the six super-bright LEDs safe for up to 60 years of use (eliminating waste in the amount of light bulbs you’ll need down the road)....

Smartwatches truly come in all shapes and sizes, which is wonderful because you have the freedom to choose what works best for you. There are round smartwatches, square smartwatches, and a bevy of designs in between. Samsung’s smartwatches are usually round, evoking the past designs of a more traditional wristwatch, but that’s not always the case. Some of its more active and fitness-oriented devices, such as the Galaxy Fit series, are closer to a band type of wearable (think Fitbit devices)....

At the under-$200 price point, it’s also worth considering a budget tablet or 2-in-1 device. These devices often have less on-board storage, but tend to have better display quality.
