During a recent Republic of Gamers event, Asus showcased a bunch of high-end PC hardware decked out in Gundam digs, like the ROG Strix GeForce RTX 3090 Gundam Edition graphics card pictured above. It is a fairly fleshed out lineup covering multiple graphics cards, motherboards, keyboards, mice, and even wireless routers. Several of the products can be seen in a video on Bilibili (via @momomo_us) with an oddly satisfying piano arrangement playing in the background (better photos can be seen over at iHeat). The 3090 appears to be the same as the factory overclocked model Asus offers, with a 1,890MHz boost clock in OC mode and 1,860MHz in Gaming mode (up from Nvidia's 1.7GHz reference boost clock). The card will sell for 16,999¥ in Japan (around $2,540 in US currency), which is a pretty big markup over the regular version. Asus also unveiled a couple of other Gundam-themed graphics cards, including a GeForce GTX 1660 Super TUF Gundam and GeForce GTX 1660 Super TUF Zaku, the latter of which comes in a black and red color scheme.Diehard fans of the anime series could pair one of these stylish GPUs with other Gundam-themed components, including a Maximus XII Extreme motherboard, 850W power supply, and a 240mm or 360mm all-in-one liquid cooler, all at various marked up price points.Unfortunately, Asus is limiting availability to Japan. Some of the products are already available to purchase, however, including a Wi-Fi 6 router (available in white or red and black) and a 240mm Zaku Edition liquid cooler.Paul has been playing PC games and raking his knuckles on computer hardware since the Commodore 64. He does not have any tattoos, but thinks it would be cool to get one that reads LOAD"*",8,1. In his off time, he rides motorcycles and wrestles alligators (only one of those is true).

Although it is one of the last automotive manufacturers to add Android Auto to its vehicles, BMW is now set to bring the digitally-driven interface to approximately 750,000 cars with the iDrive 7 update. In a press release, BMW has confirmed that the iDrive 7 upgrade will be sent as an OTA update to compatible vehicles. Around three-quarters of a million BMWs are therefore set to get access to Android Auto for the first time. Another welcome aspect of this update is that you will be able to connect to your device wirelessly in-car. Google Android AutoTM will be available as a new feature following the upgrade, allowing customers to use the functions of their smartphone in the car via a wireless connection. The customer can use Google Assistant or touch operation to access their apps without having to operate their smartphone directly. Google MapsTM also shows navigation guidance in the Info Display and Head-up Display. The iDrive 7 update rollout is starting today in BMW’s German home market, with a wider rollout expected in Europe, China, the US, and Canada over the coming weeks. Customers will receive a push notification in their vehicle or via BMW App on their smartphone as soon as the upgrade is available. Following launch in the German market, it will be rolled out in stages across Europe, in the US, Canada, China and the remaining international markets. You’ll receive a notification within the BMW Connected app when the Android Auto carrying Drive 7 OTA update is available for your vehicle, which will prompt you through the installation process. Another bonus is that even with this update adding enhanced in-car entertainment possibilities and other benefits, it’s coming completely free of charge — which given the average BMW cost, is a welcome decision from the German automaker.

“Age, BMI, sociodemographic and lifestyle factors, and prevalent medical conditions show independent and combined influences on sex hormone levels in a large po[CENSORED]tion-based sample of community-dwelling men,” Bu B. Yeap, FRACP, PhD, professor of medicine at the University of Western Australia, and colleagues wrote. “Given the magnitude of their associations, these factors should be considered for potential interventions and when interpreting sex hormone results.” Researchers analyzed serum total testosterone and sex hormone-binding globulin levels from a cohort of 208,677 men aged 40 to 69 years participating in the po[CENSORED]tion-based, prospective cohort UK Biobank study from 2006 to 2010. Serum total testosterone was assayed using competitive binding chemiluminescent immunoassay, whereas serum SHBG was assayed with a two-step, sandwich chemiluminescent immunoassay. Researchers calculated free testosterone using the Vermeulen method. Demographic and medication information were obtained through self-reports, and information on prevalent medical conditions came from self-reports, physical exams, blood chemistry and general practice records. concentration of 11.6 nmol/L, a median SHBG level of 36.9 nmol/L and median calculated free testosterone of 213 pmol/L. Lower serum testosterone and higher SHBG were associated with older age and higher BMI. Calculated free testosterone was lower for older participants and increased with BMI up to 25 kg/m2, at which point it decreased. Both the age and BMI associations were independent of each other. Mean testosterone was lower for participants who lived with a partner, had South Asian ethnicity and higher educational attainment. Current smokers had higher mean testosterone levels than those who previously smoked or never smoked. Vegetarians had the lowest mean testosterone concentration, followed by those who ate high amounts of red meat, low amounts of red meat, poultry, fish and no animal products. Testosterone increased with higher levels of physical activity, regardless of alcohol consumption. Mean SBHG levels were lower for men who consumed alcohol, whereas other associations between SHBG and dietary and physical activity patterns were similar to testosterone. Lower mean testosterone levels were found for men with prevalent cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, dementia, angina, renal impairment, hypertension and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease compared with those without any of those conditions. Low SHBG was associated with prevalent CVD, diabetes, angina, renal impairment and hypertension. Atrial fibrillation was the only condition associated with higher testosterone and SHBG levels. After combining several sociodemographic factors, a man of South Asian ethnicity who lived with a partner, ate a low amount of red meat, had a college or university degree and had insufficient physical activity would have a lower mean testosterone level of about 2 nmol/L, according to the researchers. Men who were aged 70 years had a mean testosterone level 0.5 nmol/L lower than those who were aged 50 years, and participants with a BMI of 30 kg/m2 had a mean testosterone concentration 1.5 nmol/L lower than those who had a BMI of 25 kg/m2. With several factors potentially influencing testosterone levels, researchers said providers should individualize testosterone assessment. “The combined influences of sociodemographic and lifestyle factors, and medical conditions may provide an informative clinical context for interpreting testosterone and SHBG results in men aged 40 to 69 years,” researchers wrote.

En Chile, recuperándose de una lesión en la clavícula, el piloto explica sus múltiples caídas, proyecta el 2021, en el que no descarta dar un paso atrás y volver al campeonato europeo. Su visión del SBK y del equipo al que no pretende volver. Maxi Scheib debutaba este 2020 en su primer Mundial de la FIM, el de Superbikes. La pandemia lo complicó todo, pero finalmente la temporada pudo terminarse con menos fechas, menos oportunidades para afianzarse en la serie y encima, una caída lo dejó fuera de las últimas tres fechas. ¿Qué tan grave es esta lesión? Fue una caída bien aparatosa, volando por encima de la moto. Sufrí una lesión acromio clavicular, no tengo ninguna ruptura de hueso, sino que una gran distensión de los ligamentos, incluso se llegaron a cortar o dañar. Ustedes planificaban volver para la fecha de este fin de semana en Estoril, ¿hubiera sido forzado? Sí, íbamos a arriesgar más de la cuenta y dar por finalizada la temporada fue lo mejor para las partes. ¿El Superbike era más o menos difícil de lo que pensaba? Es una categoría bastante especial, no difícil-difícil. Contra las motos oficiales nunca estuvimos con Kawasaki al mismo nivel. En la clasificación siempre éramos de 12º a 15º y en las primeras vueltas es cuando se determina la carrera, entonces si uno está peleando las posiciones de atrás es difícil subir. Sé que el talento y la velocidad la tenemos. Aprendí mucho y los demás no tienen nada que yo no tenga, pero hay un tema de trabajo y de apoyo. ¿Cómo valora al team Orelac? En temas de presupuesto nunca hubo un problema, pero aunque un equipo satélite ponga toda la plata del mundo, siempre está limitado a no tener el mismo material que los equipos oficiales. Contra los oficiales no se puede pelear, ¿pero cómo estuvo la pelea contra los otros privados? Es que si fuera una monomarca, sería comparable. Las motos de los equipos privados de Yamaha o Ducati eran mejores que la Kawasaki. Mis rivales eran otros equipos privados, que por ambiente, comodidad de estar en Europa, estaban mejor preparados que yo, con un equipo nuevo, en el cual la motivación no era la mejor. ¿Por qué dice eso? Es complicado mantener la motivación no estando en Chile, lejos de las personas que te quieren, que te apoyan. Tras ese séptimo lugar en Australia, donde fue el mejor privado, ¿pensó que eso se iba a ir repitiendo el resto del año? ¿El equipo se desilusionó? Claro, nos hicimos grandes expectativas. Creo que en algún punto ellos esperaron más de mí, pero yo también esperaba más del equipo. Ellos esperaban que yo fuera más constante, que me preocupara más de terminar las carreras y yo, más apoyo, más incondicionalidad y a veces es complicado entenderse en tan poco tiempo y mucho más llegar a conocerse, son pocos días los que se comparten con el equipo, solo los fines de semana de carrera. ¿No había entrenamientos, no trabajaban la moto aparte? Nada de eso y así es en todos los equipos. Estaba acostumbrado a que en los otros equipos en que he estado es más familiar en ese sentido.

Encouraging the use of Indian, artisanal products is what drives these two 27-year olds in curating a gourmet marketplace. Meet Sukriti Chopra and Garima Bakshi, founders of Single Origin, a one-stop online shop for all things #MadeInIndia. We are brand consultants helping young Indian brands with social media marketing and branding. The idea for Single Origin stems from our experiments with Indian brands. We realised that the quality is phenomenal, and there is so much more that these brands had to offer that imported brands cannot even compete with,” says Bakshi.Their website, https://www.singleorigin.co.in/ lists products by categories, brands and recipes. It is not an arbitrary selection; in a bid to curate a platform for locally produced and sourced foods, Chopra says that every product is tried first. “We have tried all the brands that we have listed on the website. We are looking at artisanal, gourmet brands, and not mass market products. We are creating a marketplace for such products so that they don’t get lost in the clutter of supermarket shelves, and which don’t otherwise get discovered,” she explains.These Delhi University graduates focus on bringing out not just products, but stories, and that is what drives them to work with people who are connected with the roots of the country. “These brands have lovely stories to tell. For example, some are run solely by women, some work directly with farmers. Their focus is on sustainability and this is what we want to push forward,” adds Chopra. In the earlier phases of the lockdowns, the duo felt a need to recreate similar dining experiences at home, giving birth to the idea of Single Origin Kitchen. “We have a category of Shop by Recipe where we have listed recipes that we made out of these brands. These are simple to make and take no more than 10-12 minutes,” shares Bakshi. Read: Navratri 2020: Fasting for the first time? Here are some tips to help you sail through The duo realised that with the lockdowns, people got a chance to try their hands at cooking and discover products they wouldn’t have otherwise. “There are people who want to try Indian products, there is a whole movement for #Vocal4Local, and we definitely want to ride the way and promote these products. We want to tell people that there are so many Indian alternatives to foreign brands. Most of the times, these are cheaper because they are locally produced and sourced,” says Chopra. They are offering Diwali hampers in eco-friendly packaging starting at Rs 1999, and festive gift boxes starting at Rs 1699, with options for customisation.

The S&P 500 gave up most of its early-week gains at the end of the week as hopes for a major U.S. economic stimulus package before the election faded. On Thursday, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said he and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had been making progress in negotiations for a bipartisan stimulus package but suggested a finalized deal is unlikely to happen prior to the November elections. House Democrats had already passed a $2.2 trillion stimulus package, and President Donald Trump said Thursday he would be willing to raise his stimulus package offer to above $1.8 billion. Disney shares jumped after the company announced it’s restructuring its media and entertainment businesses to focus primarily on its Disney+ streaming service. The move comes after the global coronavirus pandemic devastated the company’s theatrical, theme park and cruise businesses this year. Earlier this month, activist investor Dan Loeb called on Disney to eliminate its $3 billion annual dividend to help fund heavier investment into streaming content. Investors got some bad news on the COVID-19 treatment front. Eli Lilly was forced to pause testing of its monoclonal antibody coronavirus treatment because of safety concerns, and Johnson & Johnson halted its late-stage coronavirus vaccine trial because of an “adverse event” involving a study participant. More:Stocks start month strong but Q3 earnings, stimulus talks could change things More:Stock market's volatile month weighed down by layoffs, no stimulus Apple unveiled four new iPhone 12 models at a special event on Tuesday, all of which are compatible with 5G wireless networks. Bank earnings disappoint Wells Fargo was the biggest loser during a lackluster week for the banks. The bank’s earnings were seen as disappointing, and the firm reported a 19% drop in net interest income — a key metric of profitability. Wells Fargo also laid off more than 100 employees who fraudulently applied for federal small business pandemic relief aid. While most of the big banks reported earnings surprises and a lowering of loan loss provisions, investors remain skeptical. Shares of Wells Fargo, JPMorgan, Bank of America, and Citigroup are all flat to down for the week. That weak performance is still justified, according to TD Ameritrade Manager of Trader Strategy Shawn Cruz. “I was looking for bigger signs of problems on their loan books and that didn't show up yet,” said Cruz. “But I still think it’s out there down the road, in terms of businesses not being able to pay their loans.” This week, investors will be watching for earnings reports from Procter & Gamble and Netflix on Tuesday, Verizon on Wednesday and AT&T on Thursday. Global numbers to watch for Investors will get key global economic updates when European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde gives a speech at the IMF/World Bank Annual Meetings on Sunday and when the People’s Bank of China announces its latest interest rate decision on Tuesday. Benzinga is a financial news and data company headquartered in Detroit.

Fossil Fighters: Frontier (3DS) Developer: Red Entertainment, Spike Chunsoft Publisher: Nintendo Released: March 20, 2015 MSRP: $29.99 I used to love dinosaurs. Growing up I watched The Land Before Time nearly daily, and I really wanted to be a paleontologist just like Alan Grant. If there was a video game with dinosaurs in it, I experienced it it, from Turok, to Dinosaurs for Hire to Dino Crisis, just for the sake of seeing dinosaurs in action. Naturally, I played the original Fossil Fighters on the Nintendo DS. It wasn't remarkable, but it was at least an original take on the collect them all and battle formula. Digging up fossils to revive dinosaurs sounded great on paper but the digging mechanics wasn't the strongest, tedious even. So I skipped the sequel but decided to give the third game in the series another chance for review. Perhaps Fossil Fighters: Frontier would renew my love of the creatures. I [CENSORED] hate dinosaurs n Fossil Fighters: Frontier is the third game in a series of Nintendo published titles that have flown under the radar. Many would say this is a Pokémon ripoff, but that isn't fair, as Frontier has far simpler mechanics that vary the formula in its own way. There is no evolution apart from the adorable sidekick dinosaur named Nibbles, and each creature has a defined set of eight moves that are unlocked via finding each piece of its fossil. There are far fewer elemental types of creatures to deal with. It makes for a dull experience. Players take on the role of a young male or female warden who watches over dig sites, tasked with driving the aptly named "Bone Buggy" around digging up dinosaur fossils to revive them as vivosaurs, as well as protecting the parks from rogue vivosaurs and mischievous persons. Along the way you meet some "Paleo Pals" of whom you can choose two at a time to battle alongside you with their vivosaurs. The story is pretty light until about halfway into the game when a very Dr. Robotnik-like character shows up with an evil scheme that you have to put an end to. Battling feels very different from other games in the genre as your Pals' two vivosaurs automatically fight alongside yours. Similar to Pokémon you get to choose from four moves of the eight unlockable per combatant, and which enemy to attack. During the animations for the attacks you're able to use a limited number "support shots" to increase the statistics of your vivosaur for that turn. Support shots include more defense, speed, chance of critical hits or refilling health; support shots are critical to battle. A majority of your time will be spent watching your Paleo Pals battle while deciding on how to use your support shots to affect the battle, which isn't very engaging. Vivosaurs look great on screen and their attack animations actually show them connect with the enemies, unlike Pokémon. Anything that isn't a core character model though looks very jagged and ugly due to the 3DS's dated graphics. The amount of vivosaurs in the game is low, the majority of which are just reskinned of the most recognizable dinosaurs such as longnecks, raptors, T-rex and triceratops. There's only so many times you can watch the same vivosaurs do the same moves before you get tired of the tedious waiting and repetition, a running theme for Fossil Fighters: Frontier. Between battles you'll be driving around to the different dig sites finding fossils to excavate and revive. Digging up fossils is controlled by using the stylus on the touchscreen to use drills and hammers, which amounts to scribbling. A limited amount of time is given based on what battery you have equipped to your Bone Buggy, as you can purchase larger batteries that grant more time. Uncovering fossils is as tedious as in the original game and can't compare to the thrill of catching a Pokémon. Each piece of a fossil grants your vivosaur a new move, and each piece has a rare variation that grants a different move. These can be mixed and matched as you see fit prior to going into each park. Driving Buggies feels rather slow, even with a fully customized vehicle, and only ever really feels entertaining in the late game where you can run over speedboosts to attempt to jump a canyon. There are some grand prix time trial races that you have to compete in, which equate to driving from one end of the park to the other, and are quite easy. The grand prix races seem included just to artificially extend the game, as it is rather shallow. Early on you're forced to enter each dig site only to have to go back to it as soon as you leave for some story event that is taking place. This happens numerous times and only serves to extend the playtime. The same could be said about support shots, which are limited in number but can be refilled after a battle by driving to stations throughout each park, even though your vivosaurs stats reset after each battle automatically. Multiple times I found myself in battles where the difficulty suddenly spiked, our vivosaurs were no match when the battle just before they had easily wiped the floor with the enemy. This led to grinding at the tournaments you can enter in each park. The tournaments consist of three or four battles in a row with a limited number of support shot refills, and are vastly easier than any of the late game battles. Luckily there is an "auto" option on the bottom screen that allows the computer to take over for your vivosaur as well as your Paleo Pals. I was relieved when I didn't have to manually grind, but I shouldn't be relieved to have a game play itself constantly! I'd say around 10 hours of my 26 hour playthrough was dull, automatic grinding. Those also looking for a game to play with their friends will want to seek help elsewhere, as online play only consists of ranked battles versus strangers, although you can see your friend's rankings. Local co-op only allows players to enter dig sites together, though I wasn't able to test this out as it requires two consoles and two copies of the game. Overall multiplayer seems rather tacked on. For a game that is clearly geared towards children, the difficulty spikes and grind in the later part of the game didn't really make sense, nor did teaching kids to win their battles with what equates to a mean steroid habit. Fossil Fighters: Frontier feels like a basic idea of a game surrounded by hours of repetition just to artificially extend the length. The battling isn't fun, the driving is dull, the graphics aren't easy on the eyes, the story is predictable, the characters are all tropes based on their ethnicity; in the world of Fossil Fighters: Frontier entertainment is extinct. The game not have System Requirements

The changing of the seasons is a time to reevaluate our fitness goals. Many times, we put off lifestyle changes until the new year. But there is no better time to start creating healthy habits than right now. Making changes in your lifestyle doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the downtime and comfort food that come with the holiday season. All-or-nothing thinking is not conducive to lasting health behavior change. 1. Find activities you enjoy A healthy lifestyle is more than just monitoring your weight and eating nutritious foods. Stress management is a key component to lowering cortisone levels, balancing hormones, and getting restful sleep. Find activities that bring you joy and implement them in your daily routine. Identify both active and restorative hobbies that you can engage in and alternate them daily. For example, categorize any activity that gets your heart rate up such as hiking, trail-running, or yoga as active hobbies. Using coloring-books, completing crossword puzzles, or knitting would be classified as restorative hobbies. Advertisement Start simple and use resources already at your disposable. Remember, you don’t need to purchase anything or drastically alter your routine to begin cultivating healthy lifestyle habits. 2. Time management Plan out your week ahead of time and identify where you have free time. Try to stay within a specific timeframe each day that way, taking time to better yourself becomes second nature. You don’t need to spend hours at a time working towards your goals to make a change. Even just half an hour a day of these active and restorative habits can make a significant difference in your quality of life and overall sense of well-being. 3. Change it up If you start off by marking time spent lifting weights as your active hobby, switch to an outdoor or cardio-based activity after a few weeks. Try new styles of working out and in different places. This could mean working out in your backyard instead of your basement or switching out running for tai-chi. If you’ve been crocheting as a part of your restorative practice, consider a new method of expressing your creativity that you’ve never tried before. Let go of the idea that you need to be an expert at your hobbies. The goal should be to have fun and engage in activities that enhance your health. 4. Take an inventory of your current habits Be honest with yourself and notice if any of your current habits are actively working against your new goal of making healthy lifestyle changes. Perhaps you consume an exorbitant amount of sugar or are on your electronic devices late into the night. Simply observe and identify these habits in a non-judgmental manner before asking yourself if you’re ready to change them. If you’re not, consider what you would need to be ready to make these changes, whether that be more information, social support, or a professional’s assistance. Come up with a plan to manage these issues. Remember, the changes you make should be gradual and sustainable. If you take a paced approach you could be well on your way to achieving your goals by the time January 1st rolls around.

Teams who face the Ravens search for someone to simulate Lamar Jackson in practice leading up to the game. That's easier said than done. However, the Philadelphia Eagles have someone who can imitate Jackson better than most in quarterback Jalen Hurts, who has been playing that role in practice as the Eagles prepare to face Baltimore Sunday. "It's really helped us a lot," Eagles safety Rodney McLeod said via PennLive.com. "He understands the zone read scheme, and his athleticism, I think, speaks for itself. He's putting that on display for us this week, giving us a real good look." Hurts was the No. 53-overall pick in the draft, after his career as a dual threat quarterback at both Alabama and Oklahoma. The Eagles selected him two picks before Baltimore took running back J.K. Dobbins.Hurts hasn't played much this season as the backup to Carson Wentz, rushing five times of for 26 yards and completing his only pass attempt for 18 yards. However, Hurts was a true dual-threat quarterback in college just like Jackson. As a senior at Oklahoma, Hurts passed for 3,821 yards and 32 touchdowns and rushed for 1,298 yards and 20 touchdowns. "Of course, he's not Lamar," Eagles defensive end Brandon Graham said. "But he's fast, too. It's definitely going to help us Sunday." Nick Boyle Talks About Loss of Hayden Hurst Last year the Ravens' tight end group referred to itself as the three-headed monster, consisting of Mark Andrews, Nick Boyle, and Hayden Hurst. However, the trade of Hurst to the Atlanta Falcons has reduced the trio by one, and Boyle says Hurst's presence is has been missed. "Of course, we miss Hayden," Boyle said. "Mark and I, we were all so really close when he was here. We were always together around the building, always making jokes, attacking other people (and) whatnot. From an offensive standpoint, we're doing well without Hayden, but do we miss Hayden in the sense that he's a really good football player? We do. He's a fast player, he's a physical player, and he can do a lot of special things. And he's going to do great, and he's doing great in Atlanta. But I think we can find people who are here to step up and fulfill what he left." Andrews leads the Ravens in touchdown receptions (five) and is second in yards (222) and catches (18), Boyle (six catches, 30 yards, one touchdown) remains a premier blocking tight end, and he believes his growth as both a receiver and blocker has continued. "I think I'm getting better as a football player every single year," Boyle said. "That's the whole thing, especially from a blocking standpoint; the more years I get, I'm able to see, diagnose defenses, see things faster, make faster decisions, which helps out my blocking."

After one of the strangest run-ups to launch in smartphone history, the Microsoft Surface Duo is here. Microsoft's first-ever Android phone (sorry, we're not counting the Nokia X) was announced and demoed an entire year before its release, hinting at what a long and winding road the Surface Duo took from inception to shipping. The hardware apparently dates back to plans to revitalize Windows for phones, but after that plan fell through, the hardware was upcycled into the most head-scratching Android phone of the year. The Surface Duo sales pitch is that foldable display technology isn't ready yet, so try this best-we-can-do-right-now version that features two rigid, 5.6-inch OLED displays attached together with a 360 hinge. Microsoft is calling this a "productivity" device thanks to it having the side-by-side app capability of a tablet-style foldable smartphone without any of the janky display technology. Microsoft's website also says the Duo was designed to "inspire people to rethink how they want to use the device in their pocket," indicating that the company definitely sees this as a primary device. I bring up Microsoft's sales pitch because, boy, is the Surface Duo bad at doing the things Microsoft says it's supposed to be good at. The phone feels like it was made without any respect to ergonomics, hand size, pocket-size, or anything that makes a good Android phone. It has crippling productivity problems that negate any benefit you could get from the two-screen design, it's extremely awkward in day-to-day use, and it's very buggy. The phone is missing a whole host of features you would expect for the stratospheric $1400 asking price, and even the hardware that is here seems like it's a least a year old. The Surface Duo feels like a phone that was slapped together without a plan, and the reports of the phone's history indicate that's what actually happened. We would like to gently welcome Microsoft to the Android ecosystem, but we are not grading $1400 smartphones on a curve. Microsoft needed to knock this out of the park. Instead, the company turned in a borderline incompetent smartphone that I really had to force myself to use during the review period. The word that most comes to mind when describing the Surface Duo is "flat." The body of the phone is not perfectly flat, but it's uninterrupted sheets of glass on the front and back of both halves. There's no camera bump, no curved sides, just four sheets of glass. When closed up, the outside of the phone also gives off a minimalist look with no lights, cameras, or wordmarks, just a single, reflective Windows logo Microsoft logo. The Surface Duo almost doesn't look like it's an electronic device. You could easily make a Moleskine notebook that looks just like a Surface Duo. In fact, I'd bet a Moleskine is where a Microsoft got the dimensions for the Surface Duo. The "Pocket" version of the little notebook is 140mm x 90mm, while a Surface Duo is 145.2mm × 93.3mm when closed Crack open the Duo and you'll find a series of strange decisions. First there's the two 60Hz 5.6-inch displays with a 4:3 aspect ratio, so they are way wider and way shorter than most other Android displays. Next you'll find some comically huge bezels on the top and bottom of the phone, which really ruins the "digital Moleskine" vibe the device gives off from the outside. It's not really clear why the bezels are so large. We certainly have the technology to make them much, much thinner, and as we'll get into later, the short, fat 4:3 displays would greatly benefit from the extra height. I'll guess that this is one of the Surface Duo's many concessions to thinness. Pretty much all the phone bits on the right half of the device. On the bottom edge of the right half, you'll see the USB-C port, on the right edge there's the sim tray, a volume rocker, power button, and an ultra-skinny side-mounted fingerprint reader. The right half handles phone call duty, with an earpiece in the top bezel and a microphone slot on the bottom. The internals mirror this layout, too: all the phone chips are in the right half of the phone, while the left half is almost all battery. The only thing on the left side besides another screen is the phone's only media speaker, which exits via a slot in the top of the display glass. With a mono speaker, no headphone jack, and a wonky 4:3 display, the Surface Duo is not exactly a media machine. You'll find the only camera hardware in the right side's top bezel: an LED flash sits next to a terrible 12MP sensor with a very cheap looking pinhole lens. The 360 hinge allows this to double as both the selfie camera and the main camera, which is clever. But in a device as thin as the Surface Duo, the camera never had a shot at being good. Most phones need additional thickness to squeeze in a quality camera sensor (the camera bump), and today most smartphone camera sensors are thicker than the entire 4.8mm body of the Surface Duo. There is not a market for camera sensors that fit into this thin of a profile, so Microsoft probably really had to dig through the industry parts bin and settle for anything that would fit. We know Microsoft kicked around a few ideas to try to fix this. One early Surface Duo prototype has a camera bump on the rear of one half of the device, with a divot on the other half so the phone can still fold flat. The company also has a patent for a camera lens that would fit into a thin profile and then grow taller when it was in use, like an old-school point-and-shoot. In the end, we got no camera bumps and no fancy camera tech, just a thin, smooth device and a compromised camera. The Surface Duo hinge feels exactly like a laptop hinge. It's stiff enough to stay wherever you put it but still easy to move around. Like a laptop hinge, there is continuous resistance throughout the entire movement with really no assist at all, so you won't be flipping the phone open or closed, and you'll always need two hands to open the phone. The hinge folds all the way around, so you can turn your dual-screen phone into a single screen by folding one display all the way back. It's easy to switch sides in this mode, too—just double tap on the display you want to light up. You can do whatever you want with the hinge: hold the phone like a book, flatten the phone out against a table, prop it up like a tent, or turn it into a mini laptop. One amazing thing about the hinge mechanism is that there's no padding of any kind for when you close it, yet the closing process still feels safe, soft, and gentle. The Galaxy Fold and Moto Razr have either rubber feet or a big plastic bezel to protect the screen from being slammed closed. On the Surface Duo, there are no bumpers at all, so closing it means you are pressing one slab of glass against another. You might expect to hear a shattering noise after an enthusiastic close, but it feels like the hinge is doing some cushioning work, and you never feel like you have to be gentle closing the phone. Microsoft went all out to make the Surface Duo as thin as humanly possible. If you measure the Surface Duo when it's open, it qualifies as one of the thinnest smartphones of all time at just 4.8mm thick. You'd have to go back to the thinness craze of the mid-2010s to find anything as paper-thin as the Surface Duo—the 4.75mm thick Vivo X5Max, which I think still holds the title of "world's thinnest smartphone." (It even had a headphone jack!) The Surface Duo might be the world's second thinnest smartphone, or maybe even #1, since it doesn't have a camera bump like the Vivo X5Max. The internals of this phone are really incredible and show Microsoft pulled out all the stops to get as thin as possible. In a normal, modern smartphone, the goal is to reduce the motherboard area for a bigger battery, and manufacturers have started constructing motherboards like a multi-story house. Not only does a single board have chips on the top and bottom side, manufacturers have started stacking up multiple layers of circuit board. Something like an iPhone 11 has three planes of chips. The bottom has a single-sided board that can be pressed against the back of the case, then a double-sided board is stacked on top of that. The Surface Duo is the complete opposite: It has a massively large motherboard that is actually single sided. Every single chip is on one side of the board, and the backside is flat, reducing the height as much as possible. While the push for thinness in the mid-2010s was a pointless gimmick, for foldables, thinness is a major factor for portability. This thing has to go in your pocket, after all. Folding in half means it grows to double the thickness. However, Microsoft's obsession with thinness means the phone is still only a svelte 9.9 mm when it's folded up, which is still only on the high-end of normal smartphone thickness. Staying in the realm of smartphone thickness is a nice improvement over the brick-like form factor of some other foldables. The Galaxy Z Fold 2, which made no concessions for thinness, is 16.8mm when it's folded up—that's basically two normal smartphones stacked on top of each other. Microsoft did not quite think out how the thinness of the device would clash with its material choices, though. The sides of the device are plastic, and while it looks and feels fine, thin plastic isn't very strong. Everything is fine until you get to the USB-C port, which, since the port is almost as thick as the entire phone, has only the tiniest sliver of plastic surrounding it. It's alarming how much you can move the plastic just by pushing it with your finger. There are already reports of the plastic around the USB-C port cracking and breaking off, and I have no doubt I could snap it with my finger. Half a millimeter of plastic (I measured) isn't sturdy enough for anything, let alone a high-stress point like the USB-C port. Did I mention yet that there's no wireless charging? One odd thing about the Surface Duo is that it kind of feels like you could pick it apart with your fingernail. The plastic sides don't wrap around the inner or outer glass at all, leaving the sides of the glass panels exposed. There's actually a gap between both panes of glass and the plastic edges, and you can easily stick a piece of paper in there, or even a fingernail. It's an odd way to make a phone, where normally the glass would be recessed into whatever material the sides were made out of, and any gaps would be impenetrable. If Microsoft had wrapped the plastic edges up around the glass, like normal, the area around the easily-broken USB-C port would be about twice as thick, while the overall phone wouldn't have been any thicker, which seems like a good idea! Obviously, after this description, the phone is in no way water-resistant. In addition to missing wireless charging and water resistance, the Surface Duo also doesn't have NFC, which is a big omission for a $1400 device. There's also only a 60Hz display, when most other phones in this price range will offer 90 or 120Hz displays, offering a much smoother interface.

Brendan Sweeney didn’t know anything about the restaurant business before he and his co-founders launched the Atlanta-based startup Popmenu. What Sweeney did know was that it was nuts that while every other business was using incredible graphics, curated text, carefully crafted images and fancy videos to make their pitch to customers restaurants were — posting a text-based menu. “It’s just crazy that restaurants present their inventory, which is their whole story, their whole selling proposition in plain text,” Sweeney said. Popmenu, he company he co-founded with three former colleagues from software businesses around the Atlanta area (and which has closed on $17 million in new financing) offers a solution. What the company’s software aims to do is keep customers on restaurant’s own online real estate by incorporating third party reviews, images, recommendations, and better descriptions into the webpages that it hosts for the culinary creators that use its service. “If you had all that information on a restaurant website it would probably reduce the need to bounce out so much,” Sweeney said. Popmenu does more than just prettify webpages for the savory savants whose coding skills may not match their craft in the kitchen. The software also helps with social media management, emailing and, yes, even the all-important delivery services that have become vital in the time of a still-spreading pandemic. It’s the pandemic that juiced the company’s growth, Sweeney said. “We saw ten years of trends in the first ten weeks of COVID-19,” he said. “A lot of people were unprepared for it.” Sweeney and his co-founders Mike Gullo, Anthony Roy, and Justis Blasco had all worked together at either CareerBuilder or Commissions Inc. It was the experience at Commissions that actually gave Sweeney and his colleagues the idea to start Popmenu. Popmenu co-founders Brendan Sweeney, Mike Gullo, Justis Blasco, and Anthony Roy. Image Credit: Popmenu Where Commissions was about designing tools to help local real estate agents and brokers take some power back from the large online platforms that were eating their lunch, Popmenu is bringing the same tools for small businesses to restaurateurs. “I got this playbook for helping small business with SAAS. [And we’re] helping restaurants take control back from Yelp and TripAdvisor,” said Sweeney. Other companies around the country, like ChowNow out of Los Angeles, are trying to do something similar. But while ChowNow is focused on online ordering, Popmenu started with marketing and… well… making menus “pop”. The company is going to use the new cash it raised to add services like on-premises contactless transactions and from there could have a connection from the front-of-the-house to the back-of-the-house operations and ordering and fulfillment services. Existing investors like Base10 Partners and Felicis Ventures returned to finance the company’s Series B along with new lead investor Bedrock Capital. Popmenu has also received some celebrity financing in the form of a commitment from Mantis VC, the newly launched investment firm from the wildly po[CENSORED]r Chainsmokers band. Apparently, they wanted something just like this, according to Milan Koch of Mantis VC. “When Alex, Drew and I met the Popmenu team, it was obvious to us right away how much they really cared about restaurateurs,” Koch said in a statement. “Having close ties with owners and hospitality groups worldwide and knowing the unique challenges they face, we got excited about how Popmenu’s product could help impact their businesses in so many different ways.” Popmenu sells its software for a monthly fee starting at $269 per-location. “So many industries have experienced radically accelerated trends through the COVID crisis, probably none more so than the restaurant industry,” said Sweeney, in a statement. “They’ve embraced technology as key to weathering these challenging times. We are fired up to give them even more help attracting guests and reducing costs and complexity on the road to recovery.”

The days of Google Play Music are numbered, and Google is expected to pull the service any day now. In the meantime, the company wants everybody to move to YouTube Music, its subscription-based alternative that also comes with support for Android Auto. But as far as drivers are concerned, using YouTube Music behind the wheel is a huge pain in the neck, not only because it lacks the feature parity with Google Play Music, but also because essential functionality isn’t there. The good news is that earlier this year Google promised to resolve all these drawbacks, explaining that while it does plan to further refine YouTube Music, it only needs a bit more time to do it. And it looks like the search company has finally started focusing more on the Android Auto side of YouTube Music, as it has recently released a new feature for drivers. It’s a queue option that shows up when playing a song on YouTube Music both on Android Auto and when streaming music to the car’s speakers via Bluetooth. An official announcement in this regard isn’t available, and as it turns out, the new feature isn’t powered by a new software update. Instead, what enables it in the car is a server-side switch, and users in this reddit thread explain that the queue button showed up earlier this week in their cars. At the same time, the new queue option also shows up on Android Auto for phones, so even if you don’t run the app on a larger screen, the queue is still there, and this shows that Google wants to offer feature consistency regardless of the platform that you are using. For the time being, the transition from Google Play Music to YouTube Music is still under way, so hopefully, Google would manage to resolve other shortcomings in its subscription-based service before it pulls the plug on its old media platform.
