CARDRIVER This is the first of two Blackwing models that are the last gasoline-powered V models the luxury maker will ever produce. Farewell concerts too often aren't the last of anything. Cream, The Who, Kiss, and even Ol 'Blue Eyes himself Frank Sinatra all returned to the stage after a so-called final tour. Cadillac, however, does not appear to be bluffing when it says that the CT4-V Blackwing and its larger, V-8-powered CT5-V Blackwing brother will be the last of the gas-powered V cars. Even if plans change and somehow more gas-powered Cadillac Vs come after these, like any farewell tour, the CT4-V Blackwing is something you don't want to miss. The CT4-V Blackwing is an evolution of the ATS-V, a sports sedan graced with handling and performance but held back by an unrefined engine and a child-size back seat. The new car has a similarly tight rear seat, but a larger door opening makes it easier for adults to get in and out. Launched together, comparing the CT4-V Blackwing to the headlining CT5-V Blackwing might make the smaller sedan seem like an opening act. After all, the smaller Blackwing's twin-turbo V-6, an engine that shares a lot with the V-6 in a Chevrolet Colorado, is nearly 200 horsepower off the other Blackwing's 668-hp V-8. Nearly 500 horsepower is still a lot of firepower, and the 472-hp 3.6-liter V-6 enjoys a linear and immediate — for a turbo — throttle response. And this engine has learned how to sing. Inside and out, it sounds nothing like the 464-hp version in the old ATS-V. When the variable exhaust bypasses the muffler, it sounds angry, purposeful, and intimidating. To enhance the V-6 notes inside, the AKG audio system plays actual recordings of the V's engine through the speakers. It's more like autotune than the outright fakery of Milli Vanilli. Equipped with the $ 3175 10-speed automatic transmission, it should be able to bolt to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds. A no-cost six-speed manual will add a few tenths. In your mind, however, the manual will seem quicker thanks to a no-lift-shift feature. Keep your right foot pinned to the firewall, stab the clutch, and grab the next gear. The Tremec TR-6060 shifts with ease and accuracy. And if you do select the manual, Cadillac includes a bonus: titanium connecting rods. Roughly six times more expensive than the automatic's forged-steel rods, the lightweight material reduces reciprocating mass, further improving engine response for manual buyers. To make the manual version financially feasible, Cadillac uses what it calls "additive manufacturing." That's marketing spin for "some of the parts are 3-D printed." In addition to manual-specific HVAC ducting around the center console, the shift-pattern medallion on top of the shifter comes from a 3-D printer. If you're wondering about burning your hand on the shifter's H-pattern, engineers went so far as to add additional material below the metal trim to draw heat away and avoid burning the driver on hot days. Cadillac patented the design. BMW still offers a manual in its M3, but what BMW forgot, Cadillac has learned. Steering feel, also an ATS-V strength, is alive and well despite the reports that it died with electrically assisted steering. The 4-V's wheel is brimming with feedback and just-right effort levels that avoid qualifying for a CrossFit workout. There is also a very Ferrari-manettino-looking switch on the steering wheel. This $ 500 option makes it simple to cycle through the numerous stability-and-traction-control programs of General Motors's Performance Traction Management (PTM) system. There are five PTM modes: One is for the wet, two have an element of stability control that use the brakes to rein in sloppy cornering, and the upper two use the traction control to maximize corner exit speed. The raciest mode is aptly named Race. PTM works so well that development drivers use it while chasing lap times. And if you didn't already know, the CT4-V Blackwing stomped a 2: 52.5 lap on Virginia International Raceway's 4.1-mile Grand Course, the same configuration we use for Lightning Lap. That's a strong time for a 3850-pound sedan. The only four-door we've lapped quicker in 14 Lighting Lap events is the Mercedes-AMG GT63 S, which posted 2: 49.3. The next slowest sedan is the BMW M5 Competition with a time of 2: 54.0. A lot of credit is due to the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires size 255 / 35R-18 and 275 / 35R-18. These aren't off-the-shelf Michelins. While Most 4S tires use two compounds, these Cadillac-specific tires use three different rubber compounds. The third one is essentially an R compound found in streetable track tires, such as the Pilot Sport Cup 2. Keeping those special tires in constant contact with the tarmac are GM's latest magnetorheological dampers, or MR 4.0. The ride-handling balance is as good as we've ever experienced in the segment. The lovely ride and supportive seats offer multihour comfort and appropriate bolstering for track work. There are drive modes that set the steering effort, powertrain aggression, engine volume, brake feel, and damper stiffness. Normal, Sport, Snow / Ice, and Track are preset from Cadillac, but owners can tailor their setup in V Mode and My Mode. The V Mode has a steering wheel shortcut on the other side of the PTM switch, and My Mode will remain the default setting after a key cycle, so if you dial in a magic combination it won't be lost every time you start the car . We never found a need to play weekend engineer because the Normal mode proved perfect for the winding roads of North Carolina and Virginia and Track mode made us right at home on VIR's Full Course. The Cadillac's brakes were happy on the track too. Fade free and strong, we noticed that engineers added a separate parking-brake caliper for the rear instead of a drum-in-hat parking brake, a change that saved more than two pounds of rotating mass.

BBC Going to the ghost town of Humberstone, in the Great North of Chile, is like traveling back in time. Although no one has lived or worked here for more than half a century, among its desert alleys you can still see part of the facades of the offices, schools and even a large theater that gave life to this site between 1870 and 1960, when thousands of workers worked for a common purpose: the million-dollar nitrate industry, also called "white gold." They were happy times for this South American country. The enormous demand for the material from industrialized nations of Europe led to a period of great enrichment, which was even called the Chilean "belle epoque." And it is that at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, almost all the saltpeter in the world came from the Atacama desert. And for Chile, its importance was vital: it represented between 40% and 60% of its tax revenue. "Chile literally lived on a single product: saltpeter," Julio Pinto, a historian from the University of Santiago, told BBC Mundo. Shanks system It all emerged in 1866, when the Chilean explorer José Santos Ossa discovered saltpeter deposits in the Salar del Carmen, near the city of Antofagasta. At that time, these lands belonged to Bolivia, but Santos Ossa obtained a permit authorizing him to extract the mineral for 15 years. Later, in 1982, the main and best known nitrate headquarters in the area was built: the Humberstone Saltpeter Office, originally called La Palma. At its peak, between 1900 and 1929, this place located about 50 kilometers from Iquique (Tarapacá Region), was home to around 3,500 people, which meant a great demographic mobility of Chileans to the north, which later it was enriched by different waves of migration, especially from Peru and Bolivia. Here its inhabitants forged a specific community culture of the "pampinos" that is, of those who inhabit the desert zone of northern Chile, characterized by their linguistic expression and their pioneering struggle for social justice due to the difficult working conditions in Chile. one of the most arid and hostile areas on the planet. The business model behind the nitrate mill was based on the Shanks system, developed by James Humberstone (nicknamed "Don Santiago" by workers in the area), a British chemical engineer who emigrated to South America in 1875 and where the name comes from. of this ghost town. The procedure considered dissolving "caliche", the nitrate-rich desert crust, at high temperature in order to extract sodium nitrate, a fertilizer that transformed agriculture in America and Europe, providing Chile with considerable wealth. In this way, the Briton managed to build a fortune based on one of the largest extractors of "white gold" in the world, employing thousands of people and setting up a business that was an engine of development for the surrounding regions. Pacific War The saltpeter was so important to the Chileans that they were willing to go to war for it. Despite the fact that the independence of the countries of Chile, Peru and Bolivia took place in 1810, 1821 and 1825, respectively, the borders were not completely defined. In the 1870s, many of the nitrate towns belonged to Bolivian territory despite the fact that most of the companies operating in the area were Chilean backed with British investment. The problem was unleashed when the Bolivian government imposed a tax of 10 cents per quintal of exported nitrate under a private transaction contract. Chile, then, decided to invade its territory in protest and arguing that it violated a commercial treaty signed in 1874. This agreement established that Bolivians would not increase taxes on nitrate for 25 years, that is, until 1899. The conflict that broke out and that involved Peru, an ally of Bolivia, is what is known today as the War of the Pacific (or Guano and Salitre War), which took place between 1879 and 1884, and is considered one of the bloodiest in the history of Latin America. The Chilean victory moved its border northward, annexing a large strip of nitrate-rich territory. This left Bolivia without 120,000 square kilometers of territory and 400 kilometers of coastline, according to historians' estimates. "The saltpeter was fundamental to the war," said historian Julio Pinto. "Once it had started, the main objective of the Chilean government was the permanent occupation of the Bolivian province of Antofagasta and the Peruvian province of Tarapacá," he says.

Since Apple announced a wide-range of updates at WWDC in June, from iOS 15 to macOS 12 Monterey, the one big feature that has stuck out to many users has been Safari. After years of seeing incremental updates, this year saw a huge redesign where tabs are beside the address bar, while being able to group them so you can go back to them when needed. However, there’s a difference between an idea that sounds good, and when it’s used in the real world. The same seems to be occurring here, where testers have expressed their frustrations, to the point where Apple are constantly improving Safari’s new design further in the latest beta releases. Looking at Apple’s other apps, it seems as though the company is missing a trick that could make everyone happy, thanks to a blogger who pointed this out. A Safari Expedition It may surprise you to know, but Safari was not the first browser from Apple for macOS. It began with Internet Explorer back in 1996, when Apple was on the ropes. It wasn't until 2003 that Safari was unveiled, developed under huge secrecy by the company, which would allow users to use the web how Apple wanted to, with a great design, great security, and front-facing features that could work well in -tandem with Mac OS X at the time. Fast forward to the present, and Safari is in its fourteenth version, alongside being available for iOS, iPadOS, and up to a point, watchOS. While the web browser was available on Windows for a certain number of years, it only started to be a prevalent force once it appeared on the iPhone back in 2007. A web browser that was made for desktop browsing, compared to what other mobile PC browsers offered back then on Windows Mobile and Nokia E73 devices, was revolutionary. As times changed, competitors such as Opera and Firefox offered features that extended the function of a web browser further with VPN and messaging apps built in. But across the board, web browsers are at a point where we can play Xbox games on them, on our iPads or Chromebooks. Which brings us to WWDC this year and Apple’s redesign of Safari. Many videos are still on the developer site that showcase the new tab function that stays alongside the address bar. However, as the public betas for Apple’s software became available, more users would start to use Safari through their daily lives, and certain annoyances would become much louder. Especially on iOS, the address bar has moved to the bottom instead, making it easier for your thumb to type in a new website when needed. Alongside this, reload, share, add to favorites have all been relegated to a 'more' menu, increasing the amount of presses compared to iOS 14. While recent beta versions have been trying to meet halfway with what came before and to what Safari is meant to be for iOS 15 and macOS 12 Monterey, there’s still progress to be made. Some have been very vocal on how this design is a step too far from Apple - that it wasn’t needed, that it looks as though it was created in a week, like a task from The Apprentice. However, this is why test versions of software exist. Beta is beta for a reason Safari is an app that’s used by Apple gadget owners almost-daily - if it’s something that’s been created by Apple, most will use it because of the brand name alone. However, a design as major as the one in recent betas does have a danger of making users switch to an alternative web browser. If software makers don't try out new ways that shock users and give them a new way of interacting with an app, then it renders a beta period pointless. But the Apple community are an enthusiastic group, and can offer their own ideas for what future versions of software could be capable of. Which is why I refer to Matt Birchler’s fantastic idea for having Safari taking inspiration from the Maps app as an example here. The user interface of Maps allows you to bring up more options by simply swiping upwards, allowing you to view favorite locations and Editor Picks for certain locations. Matt has expanded on this by showing how this gesture in Safari could be used to intuitively display your bookmarks and tabs open on your other Apple devices, without having to press another button, or try to press a link on a web page while the address bar was in the way. It’s something so simple but from his images, it could work incredibly well. It does bring into question the design languages between the teams of Maps and Safari, but if there was some cohesion between the apps, it could benefit a casual user if they saw the same user interface in Safari as well, seeing familiarity between the two. However, we are still in beta season. As past releases in recent years have gone, we usually see beta releases go up to eight or nine versions before we see a final release. We are most likely going to see even more refinements to Safari soon. But with beta 4 still fresh in many user’s minds, there’s still a possibility we are yet to see the final version of Safari that satisfies everyone with a new design. For me, I have every faith that this design is the right path, and will be refined to a version that everyone will be looking forward to using once iOS 15 is released to the public.

Valve's gaming handheld makes a strong first impression. Less than a month ago, Valve announced the Steam Deck, its AMD Zen 2-based take on portable PC gaming. The next day, pre-orders opened, making all of Steam, the company's launcher and game distribution store creak under the load, signalling vast interest in the Steam Deck, as it was swiftly backordered to Q2 2022. We had the opportunity to go hands -on with the handheld at Valve's headquarters in Bellevue, Washington to see what you'll get before you need to finalize that reservation when the device starts shipping this December. The major caveats to keep in mind are that what we saw was not the finalized hardware or software, but rather Valve's "EV2" prototypes, which will be shipping to developers as the official launch approaches. So while the device isn't finalized, it's pretty close. The biggest changes you might see, people who work on the console told me, are largely fit and finish, including the possibility of some different plastics, as well as a bunch of work to get the software done in time for launch. I primarily got to spend my time with the 512GB model, the high-end, $ 699 device with the etched-glass, anti-glare display. That being said, a unit with the glossy display was there, too. More on the display differences later. The games pre-installed on the units (I could not install games of my choice, nor could I log into my account) were on a mix of the internal storage and an SD card. Wide, But Not Unwieldy My first impression was that the Steam Deck is far larger than I expected. It is tall and it is wide. It feels surprisingly natural in the hands, though. Don't get me wrong. You can feel that 1.47-pound weight, but it's pretty evenly distributed across both sides of the system. If you've done most of your handheld gaming lately on a Nintendo Switch, you're going to feel a difference. The Steam Deck is far heavier, but that's the tradeoff for its capabilities. My hands are a fairly average size for my stature (I'm not particularly tall or lanky), but Valve’s handheld still fit well in them. I had no trouble reaching any of the buttons. A developer, who I used as a hand model in the photos below, shows off how the Steam Deck looks with someone with larger hands. Much has been made online about the placement of the buttons, directional pad and joysticks. I'm happy to report that, after about two hours with the system, that doesn't seem to be a big deal. While it's not the layout that I'm used to after playing for years with both Microsoft and Sony's controllers, as well as handhelds like the Switch, I didn't find myself making any unexpected mistakes due to button and control placement. That said, the touchpads are under both sticks and might take some getting used to. When I used the touchpad in first-person shooters like Doom Eternal and Halo 4, I had to reach a bit in a way I wasn't used to, over the sticks, to get to the ABXY buttons. I suspect this is something I could get used to, but I'll need more time with the system to know for sure. For anyone worried about stick drift, all I can do is tell you that these control sticks feel substantial. There's a sense of weight that makes them feel premium. There's the slightest bit of resistance, particularly when pushing them in as L3 and R3 buttons, like I did to run around in Control. The triggers and bumpers were comfortable, and the buttons felt nice and clicky. There are four mappable buttons on the back of the device, but those weren't quite working in the games I played. The only thing to get used to was heft, and I got over that pretty quickly. Gaming on Steam Deck One of the first things I was invited to do when I started playing with the Steam Deck was to unplug it. It was juiced up, and unlike gaming laptops, there's no extra power when the unit is plugged in. This creates a consistent experience, and the thermal design is optimized for it. Might as well sit back and relax. The Steam Deck is powered by an AMD APU, using a Zen 2 CPU with 4 CPU cores and 8 threads and GPU power coming from 8 RDNA 2 compute units. It boasts 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM. There are three storage options: 64GB eMMB (PCIe Gen 2 x1) in the $ 399 base model, a 256 GB NVMe SSD (PCIe Gen 3 x4) in the $ 529 mid-range configuration, and a 512GB SSD (PCIe Gen 3 x4) in the top-end, $ 649 version. The performance you get out of the Steam Deck will rely very much on the games you play and how you're willing to run them. Stardew Valley, the indie farming RPG, ran as well on Steam Deck as anywhere else I've ever played it as soon as I started it up. But when it gets to more intensive games, you may have decisions to make. Games on display included Hades, Halo 4, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, The Ascent, Control, Dead Cells, Death Stranding, Disco Elysium, Doom Eternal, Guilty Gear Strive, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Sunset Overdrive, Prey, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, Stardew Valley, Sea of Thieves, Death's Door, Factoria, Dying Light: The Following, The Outer Worlds, and Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch Remastered. I gravitated toward one of my favorite games of the last few years, Control, to see how it performed. In the opening sequences and some early battles, it was going well. I noticed, however, that the primary enemies in the game, the Hiss, had very little detail when I played at the autodetected settings: 1280 x 800 on low. It had seemed, to my eye, to be running at around 30 fps - perhaps a bit over. When I switched to medium settings, the game looked better, but got noticeably choppy in some sequences.

Arthmoor, the modder behind Live Another Life, Open Cities, and other well-known mods, is protesting the site's policy changes. Po[CENSORED]r mod-hosting site Nexus Mods announced recently that users who upload files will no longer be allowed to delete them. It's planning to add a collections feature that will let people assemble lists of compatible mods to download with a single click, and if a mod that others rely on was deleted that would break any collection featuring it. Instead, modders will be able to archive work they don't want on the site, removing a mod's front-facing pages while leaving the files accessible in collections they've been added to. Some modders aren't pleased with the move, and have been taking advantage of Nexus Mods' policy allowing files to be deleted if they apply by August 5. The latest modder to request removal is Arthmoor, who is responsible for Skyrim mods like Alternate Start - Live Another Life, which lets players skip the intro and tutorial and has been downloaded over eight million times, as well as Cutting Room Floor, Run For Your Lives, the Paarthurnax Dilemma, Open Cities, Ars Metallica - Smithing Enhancement, and more. Arthmoor also has mods for Oblivion and Morrowind on the site, and is requesting they be deleted too. However, Arthmoor's mods will remain available on AFK Mods, a site that allows deleting mods. And group projects Arthmoor was involved in to create unofficial patches for Skyrim, Skyrim Special Edition, and Fallout 4 will remain on Nexus Mods. "Here's to hoping that current efforts by several parties to launch sites that honor a mod author's legal right to delete their content take hold and provide some badly needed competition in this space," he writes. Among modders there's a fundamental difference between those who view their work as expressions of individual creativity personal projects they take ownership of and those who see their work as additive part of a shared community project to make a given game better. While the latter are happy to hand over control to hosting sites, curators, and list-makers, the former want to retain ownership of their work. Wrye, creator of Morrowind modding utility Wrye Mash, summed the two approaches up as Cathedral vs. Parlor, which is a handy explanation of the two philosophies and why there will always be conflict between them. We'll continue updating our lists of the best Skyrim mods and the best Skyrim Special Edition mods to point to the new homes of mods that move, or alternatives to those removed completely.

"CARDRIVER" A 10.3-inch touchscreen is standard and now supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, major upgrades for Lexus’s old-school three-row SUV. The 2022 Lexus GX gets a newly standard 10.3-inch touchscreen, up from 8.0 inches, and now has Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Other tech features such as parking assist, navigation, and power folding and heated mirrors are now standard on the GX as well. A new Black Line Special Edition joins the lineup, with blacked-out trim and a new color offering, Nori Green Pearl. Lexus has revealed a host of updates for the 2022 GX SUV, its mid-size, three-row luxury off-roader. The second-generation SUV, introduced back in 2010 and related to the global Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, soldiers on with a body-on-frame platform and a thirsty V-8 engine but for 2022 adds more modern technology and a Black Line Special Edition model. The biggest changes are found inside, where every GX now comes fitted with a 10.3-inch touchscreen, replacing the dated 8.0-inch unit from last year’s model. Crucially, the system also now supports Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Amazon Alexa integration. Lexus has also made its parking-assist system, navigation, and power-folding and heated mirrors standard across the GX lineup. Lexus ’Safety System +, which includes driver-assistance features such as lane departure alert and intelligent high beams, is also now standard. The GX also gains a Black Line Special Edition trim for 2022, based on the Premium trim level. Unsurprisingly, the Black Line consists of a lot of blacked-out trim, including the fog lamp housings, grille surround, and roof rails, although the door handles are painted body-color. The special edition rides on 18-inch wheels finished in, you guessed it, glossy black, while the theme continues inside with a black headliner and black faux leather upholstery. The Black Line is available in Starfire Pearl or Black Onyx, and is also offered with an Nori Green Pearl paint color that's new to the GX. The 2022 GX is powered by the same 4.6-liter V-8 making 301 hp and 329 pound-feet of torque and it's still somewhat of a workhorse, with a 6,500-pound towing capability, a Torsen limited-slip center differential, and a two-speed transfer case with low range. The 2022 GX goes on sale this month and pricing should be similar to the 2021 model, which started at $ 54,475.

"BBC" The appearance of vaccines against the coronavirus, created at a speed never seen in history, marked a before and after in the fight against the pandemic. But the difficulties in producing vaccines on an unprecedented scale are causing difficulties in various parts of the world. The first big stumbling block were problems with production and fears about possible vaccine risks from AstraZeneca and the University of Oxford, which led many countries to have to look for alternatives. Some opted for the first American vaccines to hit the market: Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna. But economic (they are the most expensive vaccines) or geopolitical issues led some nations - including several Latin American ones - to bet on an inoculation that has not yet received the approval of the World Health Organization: Sputnik V. The Russian vaccine was the first to be registered in the world, on August 11, 2020, but the lack of data on its composition generated skepticism at first. However, when in February the scientific journal The Lancet published the results of the third phase of trials, which showed that Sputnik V was one of the most effective vaccines in the world - with 92% protection - interest grew. The Russian Direct Investment Fund (known as RDIF), which markets Sputnik V abroad, states that 69 countries have authorized this vaccine. And Russia has signed contracts for more than 130 million doses with some of these nations. But, as with AstraZeneca, the demand has been much higher than the supply, and now most of the countries that signed agreements to acquire Sputnik V are in trouble due to lack of doses. The difficulties have a peculiarity: unlike the other two-dose vaccines, which use the same component in both vaccines, Sputnik V uses different components. And while several countries complain that they have not received the agreed amounts of both doses, some have a different problem: the vaccines that they did receive were mostly component one. This has led to millions of people who have received the first dose of Sputnik V not being able to complete their immunization due to the lack of second doses, which have been manufactured on a much smaller scale than the first. The most affected The biggest problem is Argentina, a country that was the first in the world - along with Belarus - to start using Sputnik V, on December 29, 2020. Argentina has received just over half of the 20 million doses it acquired of the Russian vaccine so far, but of that number, about two-thirds were of the first component. The South American country decided to vaccinate as many people as possible with the first dose and inoculated about 9 million citizens with the first component of Sputnik V. But, of them, less than 2.5 million have been able to complete their vaccination schedule. Today, more than 6 million Argentines are waiting for the second component (and almost a million and a half of them have already exceeded the recommended maximum period of three months between doses). A similar situation, albeit on a much smaller scale, is experienced in several other countries in the region, including Mexico, Guatemala, Bolivia, Honduras, Paraguay, and Venezuela. The RDIF acknowledged that there are "temporary delays" in the supply of vaccines, which it attributed to the po[CENSORED]rity of Sputnik V. "Given the unprecedented global demand, all vaccine producers are experiencing some short-term supply problems," he posted on July 28 on Sputnik V's official Twitter account. Given the claims of the Argentine government, which took public status, both the Fund and the Russian government said that their priority is to inoculate their own po[CENSORED]tion. "Vaccination of Russian citizens against the new coronavirus infection has been and continues to be a top priority for RDIF," the agency said. However, both assured that the countries that signed contracts to obtain the Russian vaccine will receive it. "As regards obligations to foreign markets, including Argentina, these will undoubtedly be fulfilled," Kremlin spokesman Dimitri Peskov said at the end of July. "(The RDIF) is in contact with its counterparts to solve the problems that inevitably arise," he added. What is the problem? But why are there so few second doses? The Russian authorities have not commented on this missing. Instead, they have highlighted the virtues of the first dose, which they have dubbed "Sputnik Light." "(With) an efficacy rate of about 80% exceeds that of many vaccines that require two injections," highlights the official site of Sputnik V. Russian companies contracted by the state to manufacture the vaccine told the Reuters news agency that using two different vectors for the two doses complicates its manufacture. "The product is quite difficult to make and you have to make two different ones," explained Biocad CEO Dimitry Morozov, whose company is one of the leading manufacturers of Sputnik V. The cited drug companies also said that producing the second component "is more difficult" than producing the first.

Yelp has added new attributes and review bombing protection to its online review service As businesses implement new safety measures to protect their employees and patrons, the crowd-sourced review site Yelp is making it easier for them to inform potential customers regarding their mask and vaccination policies. Organizations with a Yelp for Business account will now be able to use both the “Proof of vaccination required” and the “All staff fully vaccinated” attributes on their company profiles. Yelp users can then filter by these attributes when searching for local businesses on the service to see which restaurants, bars, stores and venues require that customers provide proof of vaccination to enter. This can make things easier for both the businesses themselves as well as for customers who may be more at risk of contracting Covid-19. We've put together a list of the best small business software These are the best mobile credit card processors available Also check out our roundup of the best POS systems As more US states, counties and cities are encouraging people to once again wear masks, businesses that require their customers and staff to do so can let others know about their mask policies by using the “Masks required” and “Staff wears masks” attributes. Enabling vaccination and mask attributes According to a new blog post from Yelp, only businesses are able to add the “Proof of vaccination required” and “All staff fully vaccinated” attributes to their pages on the company's site. In order to add these attributes, organizations will first need to log into their Yelp for Business account. From there, they'll need to go to the Business Information section and click on "Add" next to "Amenities and more". This will bring up the attribute list where businesses can click “Yes” next to any attributes they want to turn on. As restaurants, bars and other businesses have begun requiring their customers to be vaccinated, online backlash has led to their Yelp pages being “review bombed” with negative reviews over their policies. For organizations that add these new vaccination attributes, Yelp will put protective measures in place to proactively safeguard their pages from review bombing attempts. Now that Yelp has added new vaccination and mask attributes to its service, Google Maps and other similar services will likely follow suit. We've also highlighted the best business smartphones

A fast and furious external SSD Adata has announced its new SE920 external SSD, the company's first external drive with a USB4 interface. The drive promises an up to 4000 MB / s sequential read speed (with SLC caching and when working with a USB4 host), which makes it one of the industry's fastest external storage device designed for consumers. In fact, it is even going to outperform any external SSD with USB 3.x or Thunderbolt 3/4 interface as far as a sequential read speed is concerned. Adata will offer its SE920-series drives in different versions featuring different capacities, yet for now the company has kept details about the family confidential. Adata also hasn't talked about the architecture of its SE920 drive (which SSD controller it uses, how high is the write speed, etc.), though it says that the SSD uses the company's proprietary Heat Conduction technology that ensures appropriate cooling and consistent performance. Designed to compete with the best external hard drives and SSDs, Adata's SE920 drives will be among the fastest portable storage devices with a Thunderbolt 3/4 and USB4 interface when they are available later this year. This is not particularly surprising as most of external storage devices with a TB3 interface integrate a previous-generation SSD with a PCIe Gen3 interface that cannot even theoretically saturate a TB3 bus (which supports non-video bandwidth of up to 32.4 Gbps, or 4.05 GB / s). Furthermore, since TB3 uses an 8b / 10b encoding with a rather high overhead, its actual usable bandwidth is about 25.92 Gbps or 3.24 GBps. By contrast, even an entry-level drive with a PCIe 4.0 x4 interface can easily hit a 4 GBps throughput. Meanwhile, USB4's 128b / 132b encoding ensures that the interface's usable bandwidth is considerably closer to the theoretical one as this method has a lower overhead. Typically, high-performance external SSDs pack an M.2 drive with a PCIe / NVMe interface as well as a PCIe-to-USB bridge. If this is the case with the SE920, then the drive integrates an NVMe M.2 SSD, a PCIe-to-USB4 bridge, and a USB4 chip responsible for power delivery support and orientation of the connector. Meanwhile, it is possible that Adata developed its SE920 from scratch and did not just repurpose a fast drive with a PCIe interface. Adata has not announced pricing of its SE920 external SSDs with a USB4 interface, but we can assume that these drives are going to be premium products.
