Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus: Exynos 2600 CPU, 6.7″ QHD+ LTPO, 4,900mAh battery

Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy S26 Plus, and it barely has any upgrades over its predecessor. All the headlining upgrades are on the Galaxy 26 Ultra . The Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus still has a 6.7-inch QHD+ LTPO display with a 1-120Hz refresh rate. It also inherited its predecessor’s 4,900mAh battery. Wired charging is, sadly, still at 45W, but the wireless charging is now slightly faster at 20W. Most markets, including the Philippines, will get the variant with an Exynos 2600 processor. A lucky few countries will get the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 model. Even the cameras are the same. We still have a 50-megapixel main shooter with optical image stabilization, a 10-megapixel telephoto lens, and a 12-megapixel ultra-wide. It also gained a plethora of AI features, including Now Brief, powered by the Personal Data Engine, which automatically gives you reminders and sets calendar appointments from your notifications, messages, emails, etc. Call Screening is also here. ...

University of Maryland researchers invent underwear sensor that counts gas releases

Human-Flatus-Atlas

A team at the University of Maryland has created a small sensor that attaches to underwear and counts how many times a person passes gas during the day.

The device tracks hydrogen levels. Gut bacteria produce hydrogen when they break down food. By measuring that gas, researchers can learn more about how digestion works in real time.

Doctors have long struggled to help patients who complain about too much gas. There was no good way to measure it. Patients could guess, but people forget events and miss gas that happens while asleep.

The new device clips onto regular underwear and runs all day and night. The sensors pick up gas releases as they happen.

The numbers surprised them. People in the study averaged 32 gas releases per day. That is about twice the number found in older studies, which usually put the average around 14 times per day.

There was also a wide range between individuals. Some people passed gas only four times in a day. Others hit as many as 59.

Brantley Hall, a professor who led the research, said without a baseline it is hard to know when someone actually has a problem.

The team is launching a project called the “Human Flatus Atlas,” where they will send devices to hundreds of people across the United States.

The researchers are looking for three kinds of volunteers. First are people who eat a lot of fiber but hardly ever have gas. Second are people who have gas all the time. Third are regular people who fall somewhere in the middle.

Hall and another researcher have filed patents for the technology. They also started a company called Ventoscity.

What does the “IP” rating on your smartphone mean?

If you look at your new phone’s specifications, you will notice something like “IP69 Water and Dust Protection.” This is a common selling point that phone manufacturers and brands show on their specifications. At first glance, it may appear too technical, but it’s actually straightforward. What does the IP code mean? The “IP” in the IP code stands for Ingress Protection, an internationally recognized standard defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) that indicates the level of dust and water protection of a gadget, such as a mobile phone or other electronic device. As you notice, the letters IP are usually followed by a mix of numbers and/or letters, like ‘IP69’ or ‘IPX7,’ indicating their water and dust protection rating.  We already mentioned what IP stands for. Now, let’s look at the next two digits. What does the first digit mean? The first digit after IP indicates solid particle protection, including dust, wires, or body parts. It will range from ...
