Recent Apple MacBooks have included an aggressive security feature that disconnects hardware microphones when the lid is physically closed. The feature is designed to prevent eavesdropping on compromised hardware. Starting with the recently introduced 2020 iPad Pro, Apple is bringing the same privacy feature to iPads.

They wanted a good digital camera that can take amazing pictures, but also have Wi-Fi included for real-time sharing. It didn’t take long until big companies from all over the world started making their first attempts to fill in this gap....

The future is one big unknown. Film directors know this very well which leaves them a lot of open space and possibilities to create the most frightening or peaceful futures possible in their movies.

At their best, movies are capable of making you feel a full range of emotions. They make you forget that what you’re watching isn’t really happening by finding a way to speak directly to your heart and soul in order to make sure that their reactions override that lingering doubt that you should really be caring at all. We submit ourselves to the will of movies in that way. As such, some of the most memorable scenes are those that make us feel the kind of horrible tension and suspense that most people thankfully never have to encounter in the real world....
