Apple Watch Series 11 vs. Samsung Galaxy Watch 8: I've tested both, and here's the winner

0

Which of the two top smartwatches is the most capable? Here’s my verdict after trying both wearables.
Apple unveiled its Watch Series 11 during this week’s iPhone event, alongside two other smartwatch models. The Series 11 gets Sleep Scores (crowd roars), a longer battery life, and all of Apple’s WatchOS 26 software, which is expected to be released to the public soon.
But how does it compare to its closest Android rival, the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8? I’m comparing two smartwatch icons and their specs. So, who wins? Keep reading to find out. Specifications You should buy the Apple Watch Series 11 if.
Are you buying a smartwatch for its health features? Apple announced at its September iPhone event that the Apple Watch Series 11 offers hypertension detection and will receive FDA clearance by the end of the month. It can’t perform blood pressure readings, but it does monitor your blood vessels’ reaction to heartbeats during sleep. It monitors your blood pressure for 30 days using the watch’s optical heart sensor to deliver an average rating that is either within range or above the threshold.
If the 30-day rating is above the threshold, Apple advises users to take the data collected to a doctor for medical review. Neither Samsung nor Google has developed this feature into their recent lineup of smartwatches, and it addresses a major health condition that is often underdiagnosed.
Apple infuses AI into several aspects of its smartwatch — but you wouldn’t really notice if you weren’t paying attention. Thanks to an advanced prediction algorithm, you’ll get more relevant Smart Stack suggestions that take your historical location and watch activity into account. If Apple Watch registers users recording a pilates workout every time they visit a studio, the Smart Stack will more regularly suggest initiating a Pilates workout on the Workout app.
Thanks to AI, the smartwatch’s notification pings become self-aware: The device registers the noise volume of your environment to deliver pings that aren’t blaring in quiet spaces or too quiet in noisy ones. Smart Replies get smarter with its on-device language model, which provides “precise” and “relevant” responses to conversations.
AI powers those features — and many more — but Apple isn’t interested in calling attention to it. That’s a significantly different approach from Samsung and its Galaxy Watch 8, which drips with AI. More on that later.
This low-key AI approach could be a success or Apple’s Achilles heel in the long run. If and when AI’s hype cycle dies down, Apple will continue making relevant features powered by advanced technology, as per usual. It will be respected for not taking the hype bait and centering its product around a feature that came and went. But if high-power AI features are the way of the future, Apple could be falling behind in the AI rat race.
If you have an iPhone, Android smartwatches like the Galaxy Watch 8 aren’t compatible with your smartphone. So, obviously, you’ll want to grab the Apple Watch to keep everything within the same ecosystem. You should buy the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 if.
Samsung takes the battery capacity cake with its Watch 8, which offers 30 hours of battery life with Always-On Display enabled and 40 hours with it disabled. Apple’s Series 11 gets a battery upgrade, to be certain. But it upgrades to 24 hours with AOD enabled and 36 hours in battery-saving mode.
Both Apple and Samsung rolled out AI workout assistants during their summer product launches. Apple unveiled Workout Buddy, an in-ear assistant that provides stats, encouragement, and historical data during your workout, and is available on eight different workout modes, including Outdoor and Indoor Run, Outdoor and Indoor Walk, Outdoor Cycle, HIIT, and Functional and Traditional Strength Training. Samsung’s Running Coach is more specific to, you guessed it, running, but provides more actionable feedback for people training for their first or next race.
Users take a running test, and Samsung grades them out of 10. Then it provides a detailed training plan to help them advance to the next training level. Using recovery and exercise data, Samsung tailors its activity recommendations to the user. This feels more personalized than Workout Buddy, and I hope Apple takes notes from Samsung when developing its next health-oriented smartwatch features.
The benefit of being an Android watch is that it’s powered by Google’s Gemini. That means you can call upon the AI assistant to look up restaurants in your area, call and make a reservation for two, and inquire about dietary restrictions — all with the lift of a wrist. The Galaxy Watch can handle multiple commands with shorter compute times. Apple’s AI is more simplistic and a little less advanced. Alternatives to consider Pixel Watch 4
If you want an Android smartwatch alternative, the Pixel Watch 4 is a competitive smartwatch with similar specs to the Galaxy Watch 8.

原子力規制委 原発事故の避難など対応方針まとめた指針改正へ

原子力規制委員会は、原子力発電所で重大事故が起きた際の避難などの対応方針をまとめた指針を改正することを正式に決定し、被ば…
原子力規制委員会は、原子力発電所で重大事故が起きた際の避難などの対応方針をまとめた指針を改正することを正式に決定し、被ばくを抑えるために自宅などにとどまる「屋内退避」を続ける期間の考え方などを新たに盛り込みました。今後は自治体や住民への説明を進め、実効性を高められるかが課題になります。
国の原子力災害対策指針では、原発で重大事故が起きた場合、原則
▽原発からおおむね5キロ圏内の住民は直ちに避難し
▽5キロから30キロ圏内では被ばくを抑えるため、自宅などに屋内退避するとされています。
このうち屋内退避について、原子力規制委員会は、原発が立地する自治体などとの意見交換を踏まえ
▽屋内退避を実施する期間や
▽どのような状況になれば解除できるかなどを検討し、ことし 、指針の改正案を了承しました。
この中には新たに
▽屋内退避の継続は実施後 目を目安に判断することや
▽解除は原発の状態が安定し、大気中に放射性物質がほとんど存在しないことが確認できた場合に行うことなどが盛り込まれています。
の規制委員会の会合では、事務局の原子力規制庁から、改正案について一般から103件の意見が寄せられ、この中に、原発事故と地震などが同時に起きた場合の具体的な対応が示されていないという意見などがあったことが報告され、今後、規制庁が資料を作り説明していくとしました。
そして規制委員会は、原発周辺などの自治体や住民への説明を強化するとし、指針を改正することを正式に決定しました。
屋内退避をめぐっては、原発周辺の自治体から、住民に必要な物資や情報を届けられるか懸念する意見も出ていて、実効性を高められるかが課題となっています。
原子力規制委員会の山中伸介委員長は「屋内退避の有効性を説明するとともに、自治体が訓練を行う中で、指針に不十分な部分があれば今後も修正していきたい」と話していました。

At least 3 students injured in shooting at Colorado high school: Officials

0

At least three people were transported to the hospital after a shooting unfolded at a high school in Colorado, officials said.
Three students were injured after a shooting unfolded at a high school in Evergreen, Colorado, on Wednesday afternoon, according to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.
The sheriff’s office confirmed to ABC News that students from Evergreen High School were on their way to the hospital. Officials received the first report of a shooting at the school at approximately 12:24 p.m. local time, according to the sheriff’s office.
The suspect was engaged and neutralized, according to law enforcement officials. Officials are sweeping the campus, which is still on lockdown as it is considered an active scene.
The three patients are in critical condition and are being transported to St. Anthony Hospital, a hospital spokesperson confirmed to ABC News.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is also responding to the scene.
Denver FBI also said in a statement they are “aware of the situation”, have personnel responding to the scene and “stand ready to assist.”
Parents are being asked to reunite with students at Bergen Meadow Elementary.

"Los geht's!" – Trump reagiert kryptisch auf Russen-Drohnen in Polens Luftraum

0

Die polnische Luftwaffe hat mehrere russische Drohnen abgeschossen, die während Angriffen auf die Ukraine in den Luftraum des Nato-Mitglieds eingedrungen sind. Alle Entwicklungen zur Lage im Newsticker.
18.04 Uhr: US-Präsident Donald Trump hat Russland die Verletzung von Polens Luftraum vorgeworfen. “Was ist mit Russland, das den polnischen Luftraum mit Drohnen verletzt?” schrieb Trump am Mittwoch auf seinem Onlinedienst Truth Social. Er fügte hinzu: “Los geht’s!” Was Trump damit genau meinte, blieb unklar.
Nach Angaben aus dem Weißen Haus wollte der US-Präsident wegen des Vorfalls mit dem polnischen Präsidenten Karol Nawrocki telefonieren. “Präsident Trump und das Weiße Haus verfolgen die Berichte aus Polen, und es gibt Pläne, dass Präsident Trump heute mit Präsident Nawrocki sprechen wird”, sagte ein Vertreter des Weißen Hauses der Nachrichtenagentur AFP.
Trump hatte Nawrocki vor einer Woche im Weißen Haus empfangen und ihm Unterstützung für die Sicherheit Polens zugesichert. “Wir stehen vollständig zu Polen und werden Polen helfen, sich zu schützen”, sagte Trump. Er zeigte sich offen dafür, mehr US-Soldaten in das Land zu entsenden, das an die Ukraine grenzt. In Polen waren laut Medienberichten zuletzt rund 8000 US-Kräfte im Rotationsverfahren stationiert.
16.46 Uhr: Der polnische Außenminister Radoslaw Sikorski hat das Eindringen von mehr als einem Dutzend russischer Drohnen in den polnischen Luftraum als „beispiellosen Angriff nicht nur auf polnisches Territorium, sondern auch auf das Territorium der Nato“ bezeichnet. Der Geschäftsträger der russischen Botschaft sei am Nachmittag ins Warschauer Außenministerium bestellt worden. Ihm sei eine Protestnote übergeben worden, sagte Sikorski vor Journalisten. Der russische Diplomat habe erklärt, dass es sich nicht um russische Drohnen gehandelt habe.
„Wenn es ein Schuldeingeständnis gegeben hätte, wäre das ein Fortschritt, aber wir würden es vorziehen, wenn die Russen keine Drohnen schicken würden“, so Sikorski. Eine versehentliche Luftraumverletzung schloss er aus. „Im Fall von 19 Drohnen ist es höchst unwahrscheinlich, dass es sich um einen Zufall handelte.“
Weiter sagte er Reportern: “Putin lacht über die Friedensbemühungen von Präsident Trump. Seit Alaska hat er den Krieg nur noch verschärft. Ich hoffe, dass [Trump] seinen Worten Taten folgen lässt“, so Sikorski laut “ABC News”.
16.23 Uhr: Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz (CDU) hat das Eindringen russischer Drohnen in den polnischen Luftraum “auf das Schärfste” verurteilt. “Russland hat Menschenleben in einem Staat gefährdet, der der NATO und der EU angehört”, erklärte Merz am Mittwoch in Berlin. “Dieses rücksichtslose Vorgehen reiht sich ein in eine lange Kette von Provokationen im Ostseeraum und an der Ostflanke der NATO”, fügte Merz hinzu. Der Kanzler hob hervor: “Die Bundesregierung verurteilt dieses aggressive russische Vorgehen auf das Schärfste.”
Es sei gut, “dass Polen zusammen mit den NATO-Verbündeten diese Gefahr rechtzeitig erkennen und ausräumen konnte”, erklärte Merz weiter. Auf Antrag Polens habe der NATO-Rat das russische Vorgehen am Mittwoch unter Artikel 4 des NATO-Vertrags beraten. “Die NATO ist und bleibt verteidigungsbereit”, betonte Merz.
15.56 Uhr: Die EU-Außenbeauftragte Kaja Kallas sieht das mutmaßlich absichtliche russische Eindringen in den Luftraum Polens als eine Art Zäsur, die nicht folgenlos bleiben darf. „Was in Polen passiert ist, ist ein Game-Changer“, sagte Kallas im Gespräch mit Journalisten aus Brüssel. Man müsse nun sehr stark und entschlossen reagieren. Sie prüfe derzeit auch die Option, die europäischen Verteidigungsminister und Außenminister zu Beratungen über Handlungsoptionen einzuberufen.

Life on Mars? NASA says a rock sample shows potential signs of ancient life

0

Ancient organisms may have left microscopic “biosignatures” on Mars. That’s according to NASA scientists, who say a rock sample offers the most concrete proof yet that the red planet once hosted life.
A long time ago, life left microscopic signatures on Mars — or did it? That’s the question NASA scientists have worked for years to answer. On Wednesday, NASA researchers said the answer might be in a rock sample that “contains potential biosignatures.”
The finding, published Wednesday in the journal Nature, puts the agency one step closer to answering one of humanity’s most profound questions about life in the universe, said Nicky Fox, associate administrator of NASA’s science mission directorate.
“This finding by our incredible Perseverance rover is the closest we’ve actually come to discovering ancient life on Mars. And if you can’t tell, we’re really excited about that”, Fox said during a news conference at NASA’s headquarters in Washington.
The exciting rock sample in question is dubbed Sapphire Canyon. NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover collected it last summer from a reddish, vein-filled rock along the edge of an ancient, quarter-mile wide river valley known as Neretva Vallis.
The valley was carved by water flowing into the large Jezero Crater, which also held a lake billions of years ago.
“Jezero was selected because it’s in a location amongst the most ancient terrains on Mars, exposing some of the oldest rocks anywhere in the solar system”, said Katie Stack Morgan, Perseverance project scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California.
“These really ancient rocks provide us a window into a period of time that’s not particularly well represented on our own planet Earth”, she added. “But it’s a time when life was emergent on Earth, and could have been on Mars as well.”
Perseverance landed in the crater in early 2021, with the goal of collecting and analyzing samples that would let researchers study an ancient river delta — identified as a potentially rich source of signs of ancient microbial life.
Then, in July 2024, Perseverance found the rock that has tantalized scientists for months. NASA researchers say it has features such as small black “poppy seed” spots and larger “leopard spots” — patterns that are often telltale signs associated with life.
“This is the kind of signature that we would see that was made by something biological”, Fox said. “In this case, it’s kind of the equivalent of seeing leftover fossils … leftovers from a meal. And maybe that meal has been excreted by a microbe. And that’s what we’re seeing in this sample.”
Researchers using the rover’s equipment to analyze the rock’s spots and dots found minerals containing iron, phosphorus and sulfur, a Perseverance scientist and lead author of the study, Joel Hurowitz of Stony Brook University in New York, said at Wednesday’s news conference.
What’s exciting is that a combination of mud and organic matter has reacted to produce these minerals and these textures, Hurowitz said.
“When we see features like this in sediment on Earth”, Hurowitz explained, “these minerals are often the byproduct of microbial metabolisms that are consuming organic matter and making these minerals as a result of those reactions.”
But, he added, there are also “nonbiological ways to make these features that we cannot completely rule out” as the cause with the current data, such as being heated to extremely high temperatures.
The next big step, Hurowitz and others at the NASA event said, would be to analyze these rocks further — and in person. It would be the first time a pristine piece of another planet would be brought to Earth.
Bringing the core sample back, NASA researchers wrote in the Nature paper, would let them analyze it with specialized, highly sensitive instruments that would “determine the origin of the minerals, organics and textures it contains.”
Perseverance has collected 30 samples on Mars so far, according to NASA, with six empty tubes left unfilled. But the agency is still working on a plan to bring them back.
NASA previously laid out plans to land a spacecraft carrying Martian specimens at a U.S. Air Force testing range in Utah. But such a mission would cost billions and take years to complete — and in May, President Trump proposed cutting funding for the Mars Sample Return program, calling it “financially unsustainable.” Earlier this year, the agency said it was weighing two different options for how to land and load the samples from Mars’ surface.
“We believe there is a better way to do this, a faster way to get these samples back”, acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy said on Wednesday.
Duffy also said that NASA remains committed to crewed missions exploring space, as part of its scientific pursuits.
“So what we do on Mars”, he added, “these missions help us in what we’re going to do in the future as we do go back to the moon and eventually get to Mars.”

Scientists Stunned as Tiny Algae Keep Moving Inside Arctic Ice

The finding overturns a previous belief that microbes in extreme conditions are barely getting by in their uninviting homes.
Scientists know that microbial life can survive under some extreme conditions—including, hopefully, harsh Martian weather. But new research suggests that one particular microbe, an algal species found in Arctic ice, isn’t as immobile as it was previously believed. They’re surprisingly active, gliding across—and even within—their frigid stomping grounds.
In a Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences paper published September 9, researchers explained that ice diatoms—single-celled algae with glassy outer walls—actively dance around in the ice. This feisty activity challenges assumptions that microbes living in extreme environments, or extremophiles, are barely getting by. If anything, these algae evolved to thrive despite the extreme conditions. The remarkable mobility of these microbes also hints at an unexpected role they may play in sustaining Arctic ecology.
“This is not 1980s-movie cryobiology,” said Manu Prakash, the study’s senior author and a bioengineer at Stanford University, in a statement. “The diatoms are as active as we can imagine until temperatures drop all the way down to -15 C [5 degrees Fahrenheit], which is super surprising.”
That temperature is the lowest ever for a eukaryotic cell like the diatom, the researchers claim. Surprisingly, diatoms of the same species from a much warmer environment didn’t demonstrate the same skating behavior as the ice diatoms. This implies that the extreme life of Arctic diatoms birthed an “evolutionary advantage,” they added.An Arctic exclusive
For the study, the researchers collected ice cores from 12 stations across the Arctic in 2023. They conducted an initial analysis of the cores using on-ship microscopes, creating a comprehensive image of the tiny society inside the ice.
To get a clearer image of how and why these diatoms were skating, the team sought to replicate the conditions of the ice core inside the lab. They prepared a Petri dish with thin layers of frozen freshwater and very cold saltwater. The team even donated strands of their hair to mimic the microfluidic channels in Arctic ice, which expels salt from the frozen apparatus.
As they expected, the diatoms happily glided through the Petri dish, using the hair strands as “highways” during their routines. Further analysis allowed the researchers to track and pinpoint how the microbes accomplished their icy trick.
“There’s a polymer, kind of like snail mucus, that they secrete that adheres to the surface, like a rope with an anchor,” explained Qing Zhang, study lead author and a postdoctoral student at Stanford, in the same release. “And then they pull on that ‘rope,’ and that gives them the force to move forward.”Small body, huge presence
If we’re talking numbers, algae may be among the most abundant living organisms in the Arctic. To put that into perspective, Arctic waters appear “absolute pitch green” in drone footage purely because of algae, explained Prakash.
The researchers have yet to identify the significance of the diatoms’ gliding behavior. However, knowing that they’re far more active than we believed could mean that the tiny skaters unknowingly contribute to how resources are cycled in the Arctic.
“In some sense, it makes you realize this is not just a tiny little thing; this is a significant portion of the food chain and controls what’s happening under ice,” Prakash added.
That’s a significant departure from what we often think of them as—a major food source for other, bigger creatures. But if true, it would help scientists gather new insights into the hard-to-probe environment of the Arctic, especially as climate change threatens its very existence. The timing of this result shows that, to understand what’s beyond Earth, we first need to protect and safely observe what’s already here.

Nothing starts teasing Nothing OS 4.0 based on Android 16

0

It was promised to arrive sometime this autumn, so the timeline fits. Google released Android 16 back in June, and at the launch of the Phone (3) in early.
Google released Android 16 back in June, and at the launch of the Phone (3) in early July, Nothing promised it would roll out the update to Android 16 “later this autumn”. Clearly, the Nothing Phone (3) should be the first in line.
Today, the company has started teasing Nothing OS 4.0, based on Android 16, across its social media accounts. The short video you can see below features a very quick glimpse into the icons that will be used in the new version, as well as a promise that Nothing OS 4 will be “refined” and “redefined”.
While the Nothing Phone (3) will be the first device to receive the update, the Nothing Phone (1) won’t, as it has reached the end of its promised three years of software updates, having been released in July 2022.
That being said, Nothing CEO Carl Pei promises that his company is working on “a program” for its “day-one users”, owners of the Phone (1), without going into any more detail. Does this mean the Phone (1) will get Android 16, but perhaps only as a beta? Only time will tell.
Obviously, those who are still using Nothing’s first smartphone would very much appreciate it if that was the case, but don’t get your hopes up just yet – after all, Pei hasn’t really promised anything so far. We’ll let you know when we find out more.

Former FBI officials say they were fired for investigating Trump

0

Three former FBI officials say FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi politicized the FBI by firing them for investigating Donald Trump.
Sept. 10 Three former FBI officials accuse FBI Director Kash Patel and Attorney General Pam Bondi of “politicizing” the FBI by firing those involved in investigating President Donald Trump.
Former Acting FBI Director Brian Driscoll Jr., former Assistant Director in Charge Steven Jensen and former special agent Spencer Evans name Patel, Bondi, the FBI, the Justice Department, the Executive Office of the President and the federal government as defendants in a federal lawsuit.
They filed a wrongful termination lawsuit on Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
The three former FBI officials in the lawsuit say they “served this country with distinction and courage as special agents and senior officials” at the FBI.
Their six decades of combined experience at the FBI included preventing terrorist attacks, rescuing American hostages, saving children from predators and disabling violent street gangs, they say.
“Each day of their service was dedicated to protecting the American people and to fulfilling the oath they took when they joined the FBI”, Driscoll, et al., say.
That oath was to “‘support and defend the Constitution of the United States’ and to ‘bear true faith and allegiance to the same'”, they argue.
Patel fired the three plaintiffs on Aug. 8 and notified them via a single-page letter to each “in violation of federal law and the United States Constitution”, the plaintiffs claim.
“Patel not only acted unlawfully but deliberately chose to prioritize politicizing the FBI over protecting the American people”, Driscoll, et al., say.
“His decision to do so degraded the country’s national security by firing three of the FBI’s most experienced operations leaders, each of them experts in preventing terrorism and reducing violent crime.”
Patel allegedly “admitted that his superiors . had directed him to fire anyone who they identified as having worked on a criminal investigation against President Donald J. Trump”, Driscoll, et al., argue.
The Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the matter.

Nato-Chef Rutte wendet sich nach Drohnen-Vorfall direkt an Putin, russisches Verteidigungsministerium weist Vorwürfe zurück. Der Nachrichtenüberblick am Abend.
Stand: heute, 17:56 Uhr
In der Nacht auf Mittwoch waren während eines massiven russischen Angriffs auf die Ukraine mehrere Drohnen in den polnischen Luftraum eingedrungen und abgeschossen worden. Nicht nur die Bundesregierung hat dies auf das Schärfste verurteilt (mehr dazu in unseren Nachrichten des Tages und in unseren Leseempfehlungen). Wie bewertet die Presse den Drohnen-Vorfall? Wir haben einen Blick in die Meinungsspalten geworfen.

So schreibt die „Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung“: „Welchen Zweck aber verfolgt der Kreml mit dieser Provokation? Sie war und ist ein doppelter Test der Nato: ihrer politischen Geschlossenheit und ihrer Fähigkeit zur Verteidigung des Bündnisgebiets. Die militärische Prüfung hat die Nato ganz gut bestanden.“
Die „Magdeburger Volksstimme“ kommentiert: „Moskau hat den Westen seit Beginn seines Überfalls 2022 mit immer wiederkehrenden Luftraumverletzungen des Nato-Gebiets getestet. Polen sendet nun ein überfälliges Stopp-Signal. Die rote Linie des Westens ist die Nato-Grenze – und das Bündnis steht.“
Bei der „Welt“ heißt es: „Was jetzt folgen muss? Die Europäer sollten sich nach den Solidaritätsaussprüchen endlich einen Werkzeugkasten gegen äußere Feinde zulegen und nicht davor zurückschrecken, ihn einzusetzen. Das Folterwerkzeug müsste bald schon auf den Tisch gelegt werden. Andernfalls ist damit zu rechnen, dass Russland Europa nicht nur wie bislang provozieren oder austesten, sondern immer weiter eskalieren wird – was soll nach dem Drohnenangriff auf das Nato-Mitglied Polen folgen?“
Der „Stern“ kommentiert: „Polens Premier Tusk aktiviert nach dem Abschuss russischer Drohnen Artikel 4 des Nato-Vertrags. Für das Verteidigungsbündnis gilt jetzt: Ruhe bewahren und eine klare Antwort geben.“
Und bei der „Neue Zürcher Zeitung“ heißt es: „Der Einsatz von russischen Drohnen im polnischen Luftraum war keinesfalls ein Versehen. Moskau will zeigen, dass die Nato zu einer entschlossenen Reaktion unfähig ist. Nun sollte die Allianz das Gegenteil beweisen.“
