Ray Ban Stories 666j36
O Facebook and Ray-Ban launched, last Thursday (9), the Ray Ban Stories, smart glasses that capture photos and videos, let you listen to music and receive calls. Even with expectations for Augmented Reality (AR) glasses, Ray-Ban Stories is different from other initiatives such as Google Glass. It doesn't project anything to the , but it's a gadgets made for those who do not want to lose the elegance of casual glasses, but who can also record (with photos and videos) what they are seeing through the lens.
O Ray Ban Stories is paired with the app facebook view, from iOS e Android, being able to update the social network through photos and videos recorded with the glasses, which in turn have integrated 5MP dual cameras that allow you to take photos and record videos of up to 30 seconds with the capture button or without using your hands, through the voice commands of the facebook assistant. It is also possible to import, edit and share content captured on the glasses to Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, Twitter, TikTok e Snapchat.

Risks of invasion of privacy 2a114i
The big discussion that the launch should bring is not related to the product itself, but to its category. Despite having an LED to let you know when it's recording and an on and off button, the glasses bring back the old but so current discussion about privacy — after all, it doesn't seem like such an easy task to cover the LED. Although it doesn't look different from a smartphone in this aspect (which also has a microphone and camera), the fact that it's on your face increases the problem, especially for environments that don't allow recording, such as locker rooms or some business spaces.
The accessory costs from US$ 299 (around R$1558, at the current dollar rate) and can be found in online or retail stores in the United States, Australia, Canada, Ireland, Italy and the United Kingdom and has no forecast or price for Brazil. the smart glasses Ray Ban Stories collect data necessary for operation such as battery status, email address, Facebook , Wi-Fi connection and come with a portable charging case.
Assassin's Creed on smartwatch l216
The youtuber specialized in reviews Mark bchannel MBReviews, tried to do an unusual hardware fire test on the smartwatch Kospet Optimus 2: installed the game Assassin's Creed Unity on the device and it… worked.
The most surprising thing about the experience is that Mark didn't make any kind of hack to install the game on gadgets. He installed it through Google Stadia and used an external control. Despite the smartwatch having only 4 GB of RAM, the game worked surprisingly well on the Kospet Optimus 400's small 400×1,6 ISP screen. with 2GB (enough to store a big game), a 64mAh battery and a 1260MP rotating camera, with a Sony IMX13 sensor, capable of recording videos at 214p.
However, Mark noted in his review of Kospet Optimus 2 that the experience of playing Stadia on a smartwatch “it was very strange” and that, not to say that the game worked 100%, the Assassin's Creed in question suffered from some audio delay at times.
Civilians in Space Flight i164f
A SpaceX, the aerospace company of billionaire Elon Musk, is about to take a new step in the history of civilian space exploration. They will participate in the mission inspiration4, which can be followed almost “in real time” in a documentary series by the Netflix: “Countdown: The Inspiration4 Mission to Space” ("Countdown: The Inspiration for a Mission to Space", in free translation. The launch of the SpaceX rocket will be broadcast live on the platform's channel on YouTube, on Wednesday, September 15th.
The space trip is scheduled to last three days, starting in Kennedy Space Center, NASA, and ending with a dive in a point of the Atlantic Ocean considered safe and favorable to the rescue of the crew.
According to international news agencies, the crew will be made up of the tycoon Jared isaacman, 38 years old, CEO of the North American e-commerce company Shift4 Payments, and three more “specially selected” people. The of the quartet have never been to outer space. The guests are:
- Hayley Arceneaux, 29 years old. She was ten years old when she was diagnosed with bone cancer. Because of the treatment, she started to wear a prosthesis in one of her legs. She is currently an assistant physician at the Children's Hospital. St. Jude Children'sOn Memphis. She will be the mission doctor.
- Chris Sembroski, 41 years old. He is a former officer in the United States Air Force. In addition, he is a data engineer and has volunteered in groups related to the astronomy universe.

She opened an online store that offers prints and postcards with art she produces herself. Her goal is to raise awareness and strengthen the role of black women in the space industry.
The four crew had six months of training together. In that time, they studied manuals and participated in numerous physical tests. Like being in a centrifuge chamber to simulate the force of gravity on the bodies themselves in the off-Earth environment. In order for them to feel a similar sensation, the four also participated in flights that simulate microgravity. In this type of test, whoever is inside the aircraft can feel zero gravity for about 30 seconds.
At SpaceX's headquarters in California, they spent days with an intense pace of preparation. According to the billionaire, it was almost 12 hours a day of studies, which involved classes on rocket parts and everything that can go wrong, described the Insider website. After theory, practice.
