Day One - Touchdown

After a 13-hour flight, I landed at Haneda Airport at 7AM local time. Haneda is an airport I like a lot. It’s open and airy; with floor-to-ceiling windows through entire hallways that take considerable time to walk down. Travelators are chiming, and nice Japanese voices advise you to be careful when using them. A man operating a cart to ferry passengers around drove past with a jingle adjacent to an ice cream truck.

Immigration is always going to be one of the longer parts of getting through an airport, sure, but getting to the front was almost an hour. And this is after disembarking the plane much before the rest of the passengers. Thankfully, I had filled out the customs and immigration forms much ahead of time online, which gave me a QR code to speed the process up.

As soon as I hit the front, I flew through immigration. The plus side of the queue being so long is that by the time you get out, your luggage is already spinning its way down the carousel. Using my recently acquired AirTags, I didn’t need to squint and wait for a bunch of bags to drift past; A helpful arrow in the Find My app set me straight. I grabbed my suitcase and headed straight for nothing to declare. I didn’t even get stopped and searched for gold bullion this time!

The arrivals hall was bustling. People stand around holding signs for parties to get chauffeured around their opening hours in the country. I’ve done Haneda before, so I knew what I needed to do, but this time there was an extra complication: I needed to find the JAL baggage delivery counter.

I was hellbent on getting this suitcase out of my hands and delivered to the hotel I'm staying at. But I couldn't find it anywhere. Looked on the maps around the airport? Nothin'. So I took out my phone and looked it up. It's on 1F! That's... where I just came from after the sign told me it was on 2F... etc. etc.

After about 30 minutes of aimlessly wandering around, I conceded and made my way over to one of my favourite parts of the country: the rail system.

Haneda has a monorail that will take you to the Yamanote Line, where you can make most of your connections in Central Tokyo. They run frequently and have many stops along the way. I let a few go past because it was the Haneda Express I was truly after.

You get on, and it goes. Straight to Hamamatsucho. No stopping on the way, just hauling ass across the monorail, drinking in the sights. It's still technically Sakura season, so I did see some Sakura trees along the river. I happened to pick a week to travel here that conveniently has a really nice weather forecast, so it was clear skies and sun all day; a comically drastic difference from the weather I'd left behind in England.

So, at Hamamatsucho then. I make my way through the station, touch out of the Monorail section and drag this huge-ass suitcase to the Yamanote line. On the platform, an all too familiar jingle rang out, and what I often describe as "a fine boy" arrived - the E235. The unit. The lad. I love him.

There are plenty of E235s in the rolling stock, but the Yamanote green one is particularly striking to me. As a Densha de GO! fan, I'm having a ball. I hop on and put myself into a corner out of everyone's way.

I leave the train at what I have consistently described as "real clown shit" - Shinjuku station. I gotta leave from the East exit. So I follow the signs pointing to the East exit... Am I at the East exit? You bet your ass I'm not! So I go back the way I came like a fool and try again. Eventually, I get it, all whilst my buddy whom I'm meeting up with goes through a similar experience on the other end of the station.

Now that we've met up, we walk through Shinjuku, down towards Kabukicho. I saw the iconic red gates and walked up that street constantly drawing comparisons to its fictional Kamurocho counterpart. Mostly, it's strikingly similar! I've managed to make my way around based on the knowledge I've accrued being a franchise fan, which is hilarious to me. We walk past the Toho cinema and wave at Godzilla.

Bags were dropped off, and we had some time to kill until 3PM check-in. So, the short version of those events:

Coffee in Kabukicho Tower.

Cheese Gyudon at Matsuya. The Chigyu championship starts today.

Game Panic Kabukicho (or Club Sega in Kamurocho if ya nasty)

Buy an eAmusement card, because I left mine at home.

It gets stuck, but one QR code and a quick message to a staff member sorts that out.

IIDX. Sound Voltex. First time I've played a Lightning/Valkyrie cabinet, which was a very pleasant experience.

Buy a BanaPassport for fun. We'll probably play MaxiTune soon.

Played some new Konami Chunithm bootleg with influencers and v-tubers all over the gaff. (I did not like it much)

Walkabout Shinjuku aimlessly for fun.

We check in at long last, and I'm finally bed-adjacent. I lay down for a bit and let a hot bath run. Normally, I prefer showers, but I was recreating an event from my last trip to Japan in 2018: a strong-zero in a lovely warm bath. I soak for a good while, dry off and then have a quick nap. That was the beginning of the end.

On waking up a few hours later, we make our way over to Torikizoku, a real nice yakitori place. There was quite a wait, but that was fine. I needed some more time to get PROPERLY hungry anyway. By the time we were seated and we ordered our food, I was ready. A quick breakdown again:

A comically large "MEGA Lemon Sour"

Potato salad, cabbage, and edamame.

Tsukune Cheese Yaki... (chicken meatballs drowning in cheese...)

Mune Kizokuyaki (chicken & leek skewers)

More chicken

Another MEGA Lemon Sour... but they brought me two!

More tsukune cheese yaki (fuck me, it's so good man)

Then we ventured Kabukicho until 1AM. A very unusual occurrence for me, being out that late. But the "dangerous" part of Tokyo really is much safer than London. Back at the hotel, I pretty much immediately KO'd on the pillow, exhausted from a day on my feet.

2020 Book List

It has been ages since I have written and, like everyone else, there seems to be a bit more unstructured time in my everyday life. It makes perfect sense the impetus for a return to blogging is books, reading is fundamental!

My friend, KDaddy, annually shares the list of books he’s read. The first time I noticed his list I was thrilled, took notes, commented on how happy I was, and proceeded to read many of his recommendations. When it became clear 2020 was going to be a little different books became an even bigger part of my days as well as an escape from the grind of the news and the pandemic.

When KDaddy tagged me with his book list this year, it occurred to me I have a little platform where I can post my own year in review. Books are the best and reading has served me well my whole life, 2020 was no exception.

First, a few facts. This year I read 35 books, for comparison I read 24 in 2019. That makes me happy especially since there are not a million things about 2020 to invoke a sense of accomplishment. I have long kept a book journal since my title and author memory is similar to a sieve. At the start of the pandemic everyone in my house was gifted a kindle, I was not a fan of the plan, paper books are my love language. As this time has worn on, the kindle has proven to be a brilliant and magical purchase. Libby is a completely modern wonder and the next time I am in NYC I will, for sure, treat myself to a library card from that library system.

With no further ado let’s talk books.

Definitely Read:

The Nightingale: A Novel by Kristin Hannah

Two sisters reacted to the unfolding atrocities of WWII in very different ways. Both were fierce, suffered in ways unimaginable to most of us, and illustrated the many ways women are impacted by a war. Such a powerful read.

The Home for Unwanted Girls by Joanna Goodman

Great read based on a true story about a teenager who became pregnant. Her family forced her to give up her baby and it was placed in a mental institution for the sole reason the child was an “orphan”. Many more plot twists follow, this was a gem of a book.

Women in Sunlight: A Novel by Frances Mayes

This book kicked off as total cliche and morphed into complete life goals. Three older women, all single for a variety of reasons, strike up a friendship and move to a Tuscan Villa. I want to be them someday in Italy living with the locals.

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba and Bryan Mealer

YA This came highly recommended from my youngest. It opened his eyes to the world in a huge way and he was very committed to sharing this story with all of us. William is a complete force of nature and against (truly) all odds changes the trajectory or his family, his village, and his life with ingenuity and desire. Love this book so much.

Little Fire’s Everywhere: A Novel by Celeste Ng

Heard so much about this book and completely loved it all. So. Many. Plot. Twists.

Dear Martin by Nic Stone

YA read from my kid, a MUST read. This book was chilling on a 1,000 different levels. Race, police profiling, education, culture- Nic Stone packed it all in and it opened my heart and sparked some good conversations in our home.

Girl, Woman, Other: A Novel by Bernardine Evaristo

This thoughtfully constructed book was a gift from another reader friend and is one of my favorite reads of the year. It shares multiple first person layered viewpoints from British women who span every part of society. Great read.

Dutch House by Ann Patchett

Let’s be clear, I love Ann Patchett. Love. Whenever she authors a new novel I am jazzed and the Dutch House is no exception. The house becomes an actual character in the story and has everything to do with the brokenness of family who moves into it.

Shoe Dog: A Memoir by the Creator of Nike by Phil Knight

Unpopular opinion, I am not a fan of Nike. I am a tremendous fan of Phil Knight’s innovation and hustle. Phil is a visionary and expert storyteller.

The Tatowist of Auschwitz: A Novel by Heather Morris

The novel is based on interviews with Lale Sokolov, a Slovakian Jew who used his position of relative privilege to positively impact the lives of as many fellow prisoners as possible. I had to read this book fast since it impacted my sleep, which it should. Incredible read.

American Dirt: A Novel by Jeanine Cummins

Ooofff, this book is hard to read. I started and stopped because I could not sleep and opted to read it during daylight hours only. It is seriously terrifying in a million ways. It is about a family who has to flee from Alcopulcio to the United States due to extreme violence from the local and very well connected drug cartel. This book is a testament to the grit of illegal immigrants and an eye opening read about the terror they face.

Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption by Bryan Stevenson

True story of Bryan Stevenson’s quest to navigate the criminal justice system in the rural south where he aims to help the most disadvantaged in the system. Timely, eye opening, and full of action items we all need to help with for the betterment of our society.

City of Girls: A Novel by Elizabeth Gilbert

Books by Elizabeth Gilbert are some of my favorites and I was concerned when I started this book, it was a struggle. It came together and I ended up loving it. A story about NYC in the 1940’s centered around a girl/woman who is sent to live with her aunt at her playhouse full of showgirls. It was such an unrelatable read, it transported me to a time I have never really considered and it was a trip worth taking.

Totally Enjoyable:

True Colors by Kristen Hannah

Reads like YA fiction and I loved it. It’s about a ranch family, their horses, land, siblings, their live father and deceased mother. It is not deep and is a fun read.

In a Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware

This book was intense, fun, & slightly scary. A “hen party” in a, literal glass house, becomes the scene of a murder.

The Queen of Hearts by Kimmery Martin

This is a fun read about two best friends who become doctors together and then the plot thickens. Can’t say more, it is complicated.

Freud’s Mistress by Karen Mack

This was my last library loan before the pandemic. It is a fascinating read based loosely on the dynamics of Freud’s family, drugs, affairs that feel a bit like incest, a huge male ego, this should not sound familiar in any way!

The Sun is Also a Star by Nicola Yoon

YA, loaner from my kid (which came to my nightstand highly recommended). This is a sweet, sweet love story of two teenagers who have very different backgrounds and lots of big feelings. The whole book takes place over the course of one day.

It All Comes Back to You by Beth Duke

This was a surprise hit and it sucked me in. The story is about a nurse in a retirement community who befriends a resident who lived a big life.

The Queen’s Fortune: A Novel of Desiree, Napoleon, and the Dynasty That Outlasted the Empire by Allison Pataki

I admit, I am a fan of royalty, it is so intriguing and this book was completely spellbinding. The story is based on Napoleon's France and it was messy.

The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot

NF This book is amazing. A poor black woman has cancer cells removed from her body, these rapidly reproducing cells become known as HeLa cells and change the trajectory of modern medicine. There are so many consequences from this seemiling small discovery and the impact to the medical world and to Henrietta’s family are far reaching.

The Woman in the Window: A Novel by A.J. Finn

Read this in one day at the beach, I was sucked into this story of Anna Fox and her salacious neighborhood drama.

The Last Romantics by Tara Conklin

I know I liked this book and made a note about the “pause” taken over the summer when the kids in the family basically ran wild. That’s all I’ve got.

Untamed by Glennon Doyle

There was a ton of hype around this book and it is well deserved. Glennon tells it like it is and, like it or not, she has a lot of points that hit. I read this on my kindle and think I would have liked reading the physical book more.

This is the Story of a Happy Marriage by Ann Patchett

Short stories from Ann Patchett? Yes, 100% yes. The story of her relationship with Lucy, of Truth and Beauty: A Friendship, was wonderful as was the explanation of her book store in Nashville.

After You: A Novel (Me Before You Trilogy) by Jojo Moyes

I have zero idea that Me Before You was a trilogy! It is a total candy read, you are not going to learn much about your soul or the universe, but it is fun and better than TV. And yes, I will read the third book in the trilogy because candy is good!

The Saturday Night Supper Club by Carla Laureano

Also a trilogy, another happy surprise. This book is fun, another candy read, and so appealing. When I was a kid I wanted to have a restaurant so this story made my heart happy. It is a bit too clean, a bit cliche, and an enjoyable read.

Daisy Jones & The Six: A Novel by Taylor Jenkins Reid

This novel will transport you to a land of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. I read this was loosely based on the story of Fleetwood Mac, true or false, this book captures a moment in history and reads a lot like a play and is completely enjoyable.

Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng

This is the book written before Little Fires Everywhere, similar deal- family strife/mystery, kind of riveting with lots of twists. Solid read.

Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, HER Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed by Lori Gottlieb

NF, look at a therapist who finds herself in need of therapy. It is kind of a russian doll type of read with layers, upon layers, hidden within each other.

With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo

YA, another loaner from my kid. Such a great book about a kid who wants to be a chef and express herself through her cooking. She is a teen mother living with her abuela, it is a heartwarming book and I love the main character’s spirit.

Sidenote: schools around here are closed for the duration yet students can reserve library books and go to the local library of your choice where their school librarians greet them, warmly, in the parking lot for a drive by pick-up. It is a wonderful and much appreciated service being offered to our kids.

Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty

This book is ridiculous, it had a strong start, went sideways but was fun and overall enjoyable. The premise is nine people descend upon an exclusive health retreat. The woman who is in change morphs from motivating to overlord, obviously.

No Thank You:

13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher

YA read, loaner from my daughter. I did not like this one bit, it made sucide seem so glam. Glad I read it and am always happy when my kids share books with me and I will always hate stories of kids’ suffering.

There There: A Novel by Tommy Orange

This book was hard to follow, had too many characters, and there was a very dark thread that I did not enjoy.

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

This book hit me at the wrong time this year. The dystopian nature felt a little too close to home. I know it is a work for the ages but it was all ouch.

Wow, that felt good to reflect on and process. I have never really looked for threads in my own reading and knew a few things already but like seeing the balance of candy books and hard, timely topics. All in all I feel great about my 2020 reading list and hope there are titles that interest or resonate with you too. Here is to libraries reopening someday in the near future so we can browse the shelves with abandon.

Pandemic aftershocks overwhelm global supply lines (Washington Post) One year after the coronavirus pandemic first disrupted global supply chains by closing Chinese factories, fresh shipping headaches are delaying U.S. farm exports, crimping domestic manufacturing and threatening higher prices for American consumers. The cost of shipping a container of goods has risen by 80 percent since early November and has nearly tripled over the past year, according to the Freightos Baltic Index. The increase reflects dramatic shifts in consumption during the pandemic, as consumers redirect money they once spent at restaurants or movie theaters to the purchase of record amounts of imported clothing, computers, furniture and other goods. That abrupt and unprecedented spending shift has upended long-standing trade patterns. “It’s crazy. Prices are at record highs. Multiple things are happening all at once,” said Phil Levy, an economist with Flexport, a San Francisco-based freight forwarder. “People work off of expectations. But now there’s just so much uncertainty.” At the Port of Los Angeles one day last week, 42 ships were anchored offshore, waiting to unload their cargoes, even as every warehouse within 60 miles was already full. A shortage of dock workers amid California’s worsening coronavirus outbreak is further complicating operations; inbound cargo volumes in December were more than 23 percent higher than one year earlier. “Some areas of the supply chain need to be sharpened,” Gene Seroka, the port’s executive director, said. “People are a little bit on edge.” It’s a global problem, and it may get worse before it gets better.

Destructive protests by anarchists and extremists signal divided left as Biden administration begins (Washington Post) The hundreds of far-left and anarchist demonstrators who gathered in protest mere hours after President Biden swore the oath of office Wednesday signal a fracturing on the left that could become a scourge for the new administration, political leaders and experts say. Some activists are carrying their destructive tactics into a new administration to voice rejection of centrist ideologies they believe will do little to address existential worries over climate change, economic inequality, foreign wars and racism. The vandalizing of the Oregon Democratic Party headquarters by extreme-left demonstrators on Inauguration Day has split Portland liberals, and federal agents’ launching of tear gas at crowds that descended on the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement headquarters produced scenes reminiscent of similar summer standoffs ordered by President Donald Trump. In Seattle, a march organized by anarchists and the city’s Youth Liberation Front branch roved through neighborhoods, chanting expletives at both Trump and Biden, some breaking windows. James Ofsink, president of Portland Forward, a local advocacy group for liberal causes, said the growing tension in Portland’s progressive circles is emblematic of a larger tug of war happening in the nation. “Portland is going to continue to be a microcosm of the political divides, especially among the left, that we’re seeing across the country,” Ofsink said. “The idea that middle-of-the-road Democrats can say with a straight face that we need to take things slowly or do things in a very deliberate way rubs a lot of people the very wrong way.”

Trump’s coming impeachment trial aggravates rift among Republicans (Reuters) The coming second impeachment trial of former U.S. President Donald Trump on a charge of inciting the deadly storming of the Capitol has aggravated a rift among his fellow Republicans that was on full display on Sunday. At least one Republican, Senator Mitt Romney, said he believed the trial, which could lead to a vote banning Trump from future office, was a necessary response to the former president’s inflammatory call to his supporters to “fight” his election defeat before the Jan. 6 attack. Ten Republicans joined the House of Representatives in voting to impeach Trump on a charge of inciting insurrection. But a significant number of Republican lawmakers, concerned about Trump’s devoted base of voters, have raised objections to the impeachment. Trump is the first U.S. president to be impeached after leaving office. Senator Tom Cotton, another Republican, said the Senate was acting beyond its constitutional authority by holding a trial. “I think a lot of Americans are going to think it’s strange that the Senate is spending its time trying to convict and remove from office a man who left office a week ago,” Cotton told Fox News on Sunday. “I think the trial is stupid,” Republican Senator Marco Rubio told Fox News on Sunday, saying he would vote to end it at the first opportunity. “I think it’s counterproductive. We already have a flaming fire in this country and it’s like taking a bunch of gasoline and pouring it on top of the fire.”

Ununited Kingdom (Times of London) The UK is facing a constitutional crisis that will strain the Union as new polls reveal a majority of voters in Scotland and Northern Ireland want referendums on the break-up of Britain. A four-country survey we commissioned, based on separate polls in Scotland, Northern Ireland, England and Wales, also found that the sense of British identity that once bound the country together is disintegrating. And in another significant move, the Scottish National Party (SNP) announced that it is prepared to call a wildcat referendum of its own if Boris Johnson refuses to grant one himself—a move that puts the two governments on a constitutional collision course.

Riots explode across Netherlands over covid restrictions (Washington Post) Dutch rioters who attacked police and destroyed property over the weekend while protesting new coronavirus measures are “criminals,” Prime Minister Mark Rutte said Monday, as law enforcement officials warned that the violence could last for weeks. The unrest across the Netherlands, some of the worst in decades, had “nothing to do with protest,” Rutte, who resigned last week following a scandal, told reporters outside his office in The Hague, news agencies reported. Protesters had gathered in defiance of lockdown orders in at least 10 towns and cities Sunday, looting stores and clashing with police after authorities imposed a new nighttime curfew — the first in the Netherlands since World War II. The violence continued Monday night in several cities, including Amsterdam and The Hague. The curfew, from 9 p.m. to 4:30 a.m., tightens an already-strict lockdown aimed at curbing coronavirus infections and comes amid fears that a new, more contagious variant, first identified in Britain, will cause a surge in cases.

In France, growing alarm over students’ well-being as pandemic pushes some to the brink (Washington Post) he hardships of university students during the pandemic have now reached the attention of the highest levels of the French government, with President Emmanuel Macron promising to provide more assistance. “You haven’t been forgotten,” he said this month. But students protesting de facto campus closures, seeking psychological support and lining up for free food handed out by private donors have come to a different conclusion. In a country that prides itself on having one of the world’s most generous public welfare systems, student food banks have become the most visible display of the economic impact of the pandemic on young people. After 10 months of varying degrees of isolation and restrictions, a less visible but increasingly worrisome mental health crisis is taking form among students, too. Some have been confined for months under lockdown or curfew in 97-square-foot dorm rooms off campus. New measures by Macron last week indicated growing alarm among French officials that financial distress and mental health are increasingly intertwined and are fueling one another. Students have written open letters asking French ministers for more support. Mental health hospitals have expanded their offerings to cope with a surge in demand among high school and university students. Some professors have themselves requested psychological support after finding their students in distress.

Navalny Protests Sweep Russia (Reuters) Russian authorities have attempted to deflect attention from Saturday’s nationwide street protests—the largest in years—by accusing the United States of interfering in the country. On Saturday, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova accused the U.S. embassy in Moscow of fanning the flames of dissent by publishing protest times and routes (as part of a notice to avoid such gatherings) on the embassy website. “What was that: a setup or an instruction?” Zakharova told the Russian news agency TASS, adding that if the Russian embassy in Washington had done the same during U.S. protests “global hysteria” would ensue. The government’s rhetorical counters came after thousands of Russians across roughly 100 towns and cities protested amid freezing winter temperatures on Saturday, heeding a call from detained anti-Putin activist Alexei Navalny to take to the streets to demand his release. Over 3,500 people were arrested during the protests, according to the monitoring group OVD Info—the most arrests the NGO had ever recorded in one day.

Angry farmers drive thousands of tractors into New Delhi (AP) Tens of thousands of protesting farmers drove long lines of tractors into India’s capital on Tuesday, breaking through police barricades, defying tear gas and storming the historic Red Fort as the nation celebrated Republic Day. They waved farm union flags from the ramparts of the fort, where prime ministers annually hoist the national flag to mark the country’s independence. Thousands more farmers marched on foot or rode on horseback while shouting slogans against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. At some places, they were showered with flower petals by residents who recorded the unprecedented rally on their phones. Leaders of the farmers said more than 10,000 tractors joined the protest. For nearly two months, farmers have camped at the edge of the capital, blockading highways connecting it with the country’s north in a rebellion that has rattled the government. They are demanding the withdrawal of new laws which they say will commercialize agriculture and devastate farmers’ earnings.

Syrian refugees in Lebanon are under pressure as never before (Washington Post) Millions of Syrians have sought safety in Lebanon and across the region since the Syrian uprising began nearly a decade ago. Now they are stuck between untenable options: ongoing instability and violence back in Syria as President Bashar al-Assad consolidates control, and deteriorating conditions in cash-strapped Lebanon, where politicians are pressing refugees to leave. Syrians have long struggled in Lebanon, where about a million refugees make up some 20 percent of the population. But 2020 brought a new cascade of problems. The country’s financial system collapsed, and the prime minister resigned, ousted by protesters fed up with endemic corruption. Then the coronavirus hit, followed by the devastating Beirut port explosion, of which many Syrians were among the victims. In less than a year, the currency depreciated by more than 80 percent. Communities across Lebanon are hurting, especially Syrians, amid mounting competition for resources, said Elena Dikomitis, advocacy adviser for the Norwegian Refugee Council in Lebanon. “The landscape of needs in Lebanon has changed dramatically over the last year,” she said. “There are a lot of increasing tensions as one can expect over access to jobs, to aid, to basic services.” In October, the U.N. refugee agency, UNHCR, estimated that nearly 90 percent of Syrians in Lebanon lived below the extreme poverty line, up from 55 percent the year before. Already legally excluded from many jobs, 90 percent of Syrians reported losing their income or having salaries reduced, the agency found in July. [Many Lebanese want the refugees to go home. Syria, however, remains a very dangerous homeland.]

Pirates in the Gulf of Guinea (Reuters) Pirates are stepping up attacks on ships in West Africa’s Gulf of Guinea, defying regional navies. On Saturday, pirates off Nigeria kidnapped 15 sailors from a Turkish container ship and killed one. Pirates in the Gulf of Guinea kidnapped 130 seafarers in 22 separate incidents last year, accounting for all but five of those seized at sea worldwide. The pirates come from Nigeria’s turbulent Niger Delta, experts say. The region produces the bulk of the nation’s petroleum, but is woefully underdeveloped, scarred by pollution and has some of the highest unemployment in the country. Bands of men desperate for money engage in a variety of illegal but lucrative activities, including kidnapping, stealing and refining oil, and piracy. Last year’s oil price crash and Nigeria’s second recession in five years worsened unemployment and economic hardship. Saturday’s attack, which took place 200 nautical miles offshore, reflected increasing sophistication, as vessels further from shore are less likely to have naval protection.

Satellites (Space.com) SpaceX launched a record 143 small satellites into orbit on Sunday, the most ever on a single rocket. The launch was the first mission where SpaceX ferried lots of satellites up rideshare-style along with 10 of its own Starlink internet satellites. In 2019, the company announced that at various points in the year smaller satellites could hitch a ride at launch for $1 million a pop. Among the payload was a South Korean military communications satellite, two Taiwanese satellites which will improve navigation, a payload called Celestis 17 containing cremated human remains, three Hawk 2 radio satellites and a cargo capsule for the space station. The team successfully recovered the Falcon 9’s first stage in the Atlantic, which was the 73rd recovery of a booster for the company.

31 Tips to Prepare your Home and Property for Spring

🌸Spring.

It is closer than you think.

How do we take great care of our home and yard to ensure we get the most life out of it?

We thought about it and decided to put together a list of things you can do, or have someone do to keep your home and property at it's very best! Helping to be sure it will last for years to come.

In most cases, just a few minutes of work can save you from the potential of a much more serious issue. What do they say? Short term pain for long term gain? That sounds fair.

People love to do the right thing, but find it better to have guidelines to help them make the most efficient decisions. To make this easier, this list is broken into 3 parts;

Exterior of the home.

Interior of the home.

Yard and Surrounding Structures.

These are broken down so you can easily tackle one section per weekend, leading up to Spring.

Then you will be ready to bring on the grill weather without worry!

Let's start with the Exterior of the Home.

Change in temperature and more severe weather (snow, ice, cold, freezing, extreme changes) can cause your home to react in ways that could cause potential harm to the home if left untreated. A simple scan and repair list can make a world of difference to the life and health of your home. Let's take a look at the Exterior Checklist.

Exterior of the Home Checklist

1. Roof

Examine the roof for loose or missing shingles, as well as any damage to pipes in the roof area. It is important to note that you do not need to get on the ladder yourself to check, you can use your eye, your phone to zoom in, or even binoculars to check it out. *If you feel your roof needs further inspection, call a professional home inspector or roofer, do not attempt to get on the roof without proper training or equipment. Always safety first.*

2. Exterior Walls (Siding/Wood Shingles/Wood/Stucco/Masonry)

Check to see if the walls of the home are in good standing. Check for loose shingles, loose siding, peeling paint or stucco, or loose or crumbling masonry. If you see that your home has any of these issues, it would be a good idea to enact a plan to make sure you are able to strengthen the surfaces so they are ready for the rain and sun to come. If you are unable to do it yourself, find someone in your area that has a great reputation and can assist you with any repairs, treatments, or replacements you may need to get your exterior walls back in good standing. This is also a good time to paint once you are sure the structure is good.

3. Chimney

Masonry can shift in the weather, bricks can become loose or start to crumble. A regular inspection can help you find problems early and fix them in time before they become more serious. Check for crumbling cement, decaying bricks, or pieces that have fallen. If the chimney looks like it has shifted you may want to reinforce the strength of the structure as soon as you can, get someone with expertise in the area to take a look. Most (not all) companies offer a free quote.

4. Foundation

The foundation can shift and crack in the weather as well. If you take a walk around the perimeter of your home you will search for any cracks, bulges, holes, or stress marks (discoloration) in the foundation. Some are an easy fix, but the sooner you find and repair them, the less problematic they will be for the future. Cracks in the foundation often start causing leaks or endanger the stability of the home structure.

5. Doors/Windows/Screens (Including garage doors)

Weatherstrips around the doors and windows can be deteriorated over the winter. A quick scan, some caulking, and a bit of paint can lengthen the life of your doors and windows. Check for any damage to the doors and windows themselves, as well as the casings around the doors and windows. Check for signs of water damage. Check the hinges on the doors, and windows, see that they are not rotten, they are not rusty, and that they are well oiled and working with ease. The window and door screens will need an inspection for holes and rot. If you see a hole it can be as easy as a screen repair kit available at most hardware stores, or as complicated as needing a new screen. Either way, you are protecting your home from unwanted insects and critters.

6. Outdoor Faucets

Inspect your outdoor faucets to be sure they work, as well as to be sure they are receiving the amount of pressure they need. A great tip from HGTV is to put your thumb or finger over the spout if putting the thumb/finger there causes the water flow to stop you may have damaged pipes in the home and you should look at getting a plumber to have a look at it.

7. Gutters

Heavy snow and ice can weigh on your gutter system. Spring is a great time to inspect your gutter for any debris, gaps, loose or broken pieces, holes, or overall damage. It is a good idea to check them over, repair and clean before the rain season starts to avoid excess water surrounding your home.

8. Trim

Outdoor trims and moldings can need some tightening or fixing up. Check around the home to see if any trim has rotted or has loosened from the structure. Use the proper tools to tighten them back up and caulk where needed. Again, we do not want loose areas for water and bugs to get into your home.

Now that we have completed the Exterior check, we can move on to the Interior of the home.

The Interior of the Home has many areas that can become at risk if no one inspects it. This lack of inspection can leave your home vulnerable to weather, water damage, or critters, just to name a few. A simple Scan of the areas and list to fix or schedule to be fixed can save you a lot of major headaches down the road. Let's take a look at our Interior of the Home Checklist.

Interior of the Home Checklist

9. Leaks

Check for leaks by scanning the most likely areas to see leaks such as Faucets, Sinks (and under sinks), Pipes, large Appliances, Windows, Doors, Ceilings, Attics, and Basements. If you see signs of water damage, dry discolored spots, water pooling, etc., it is best to address the issue right away to avoid more damage. Leaks are no laughing matter.

10. AC Units

Since they do not tend to get used year-round, inspecting them prior to their high use seasons are ideal times to check on them. There are many things you can do, inspect, turn them on, clean the unit, replace any filters (follow the recommendations in the manual, each unit is different) if everything works ok you should be good to go for another season. If not you may need the unit recharged. There are heating and cooling companies that specialize in these units.

11. Attic

Check your attic for leaks, debris, critters, damage. You don't go up there every day so take the time to really look around at least once a year.

12. Basement

Check around the walls, doors windows, for signs of water damage, cracks, or shifting (this will often lead to cracks). Check around for signs of critters that may have gotten in and inspect where the water/critters may have gotten in. Repair as soon as possible.

13. Extra Cleaning

They call it Spring Cleaning for a reason! This is a great time to do the stuff you don't normally do to get ready for the open windows and sunshine. I often think of things like washing baseboards, trim, blinds, drapes, walls, ceilings. Cleaning the railings, cupboards, drawers, fridge, freezer, and other items that get ignored for most of the year.

14. Safety Devices

This is a great time of year to check on all of your home safety devices, see that they are in good working order, and change the batteries if batteries are required. Smoke Alarms, Carbon Monoxide Detectors, and Fire Extinguishers, all need regular checkups and some detectors need fresh batteries.

15. Furnace (check and change filter)

Spring is a good time to check and change the filter in your furnace. Some furnaces have a maintenance schedule, some companies include checkups in their purchases. Check your furnace contract if you have one, if you don't have one it would be worth your time to call the furnace company and see what best practices are for your furnace and what is or is not included with your furnace.

16. Caulking

Bathrooms and Kitchens need caulking around tile, tubs, showers, sinks, and counter surfaces. Over time and use the caulking breaks down and needs to be redone. recaulking regularly will save your surfaces from rot or leaks.

17. Exhaust Fans

Bathroom and Kitchen exhaust fans, get full of dust, grease, and other debris. It is best to check and clean your exhaust fans so the motor is free to work without all the extra weight and stress of dust and other build-ups.

18. Back of Fridge and Dryer

The back of your fridge has a large coil that attracts dust. The back of your dryer has a huge hose that can hold dryer lint and dust. Cleaning and vacuuming these areas at least once a year will benefit the life of these appliances. Plus lower the incidence of fire.

19. Critter check

Check for signs of termites, mice, or other vermin by looking around corners, warm damp low traffic areas like cupboards, under appliances, attics, and basements as mentioned above. You will see signs like chewed drywall, droppings, insulation pieces from the walls, etc. If you suspect a critter problem it is best to try and get a pro to handle things so they don't affect your wiring and safety.

We are feeling so great!

☑️The Exterior is all checked and doing well.

☑️The Interior is all checked and doing well.

Now it is time we address the Yard and all of the Surrounding Structures.

Quite often, we forget to check the things and areas around the home that need regular attention. Let's take a look at the things that you may have around your yard that would also benefit from a Spring checkup!

Yard and Surrounding Structures Checklist

20. Decks and Patios

When examining your decks and patios check for holes, weak spots, missing boards. Inspect your railings for movement. Address the needs of the structure first. Once the structure is sound, you can treat the wood with sealers or paint to keep them safe and beautiful for the seasons to come.

21. Fences and Gates

Treat and seal, or paint your wooden fences and gates to freshen them up for the beautiful Spring and Summer seasons. Check for loose boards, missing slats, or damaged parts. Also, check on hardware such as hinges and latches to be sure they work with ease and do not have any rot, rust, or breakage. Oil hinges if needed.

22. Lawn Furniture

This is a great time to inspect lawn furniture for rot, exposure, and other damage. It is a good time to treat, paint, and repair your furniture before the season starts requiring you to use your furniture regularly.

23. Lawn care

Over the season's foliage can be moved around and branches can be broken. It is best to trim bushes and trees away from the home and powerlines to avoid danger. If the area you would like to trim is hard to access, get professional help, do not risk your safety.

24. Lawn Power Equipment

Any lawn equipment such as mowers, blowers, whipper snippers, and hedge trimmers, need to be inspected for rust, ceased up motors, wire health, and proper amounts of oil/gas, or whatever other lubricants they are meant to have for their health. Checking before starting these machines could save you from blowing the motor and the cost of replacing the machine completely.

25. Grills and BBQ's

Inspect your grills for rust, rot, critters, or holes before you fire up the BBQ! Also, check your tank and hoses to ensure they are in good working order before you turn them on.

26. Driveways and Pathways

Weather can cause things to shift, crack, lift, or fall. Keep your walkways and driveways safe by inspecting and fixing any areas that have shifted to keep the people that use these areas safe.

27. Sprinklers/Irrigations Systems/Hoses

Damage can happen due to weather and expanding and contracting. Checking to see that the pressure is good and all water is flowing freely is a good place to start. Hoses can rot and become unusable.

28. Septic Tanks

Yearly inspections of your septic tank will ensure the safety of your water and systems.

29. Stagnant Water

Remove or Treat all stagnant water to reduce mosquito breeding ground. Empty and refill birdbaths, lawn decor that holds water, manmade ponds, etc. Anywhere water is sitting for a long time.

30. Dips in Yard

Use compacted soil to fill in any dips in the yard. You can find the dips by walking around after rain and seeing if the water is pooling anywhere, especially close to the foundation, that area is especially important to protect from leaks. This practice will help to avoid water build-up that could create leaks and mosquito breeding grounds.

31. Firewood Piles

Move Firewood away from the home and up at least 18 inches off of the ground, this will prevent the wood from rotting and also prevent the wood from becoming infested with insects. Keeping it away from the home will prevent the critters and insects from being drawn closer to your home than necessary.

Mining on RX Vega 56: setup and selection

The higher the power of the mining equipment, the more crypto coins the owner receives. The mining rigs assembled on rx vega 56 demonstrate a higher hash rate than the previous series of AMD video cards. The fifth generation microarchitecture and many other technological innovations provide high overclocking of the rx vega 56 GPU in digital money mining. RX Vega 56 Specification: Video card mining - Main characteristics Video card in mining, the main characteristics Main characteristics: - Architecture - GCN 1.4. - Manufacturing technology of microcircuits - 14 Hm. - Graphics core area - 486 mm². - Number of transistors - 12500 million - Number of TMU — 224. - ROP quantity — 64. - Number of shrader units — 3584. - Core frequency - 1156 MHz. - Core frequency (TURBO) - 1471 MHz. - Memory frequency - 953 MHz. - Video memory type - HBM 2. - Video memory size - 8GB. - Bus bandwidth - 2048 pages. - Additional food — 8+8 pin. - power usage - 210 Watts. In terms of hashing speed, the graphics processor is not inferior, and on many coins it surpasses its competitors. If we compare radeon rx vega 56 vs 1080 ti, mining on the "red" card is more productive on popular algorithms Ethash and Cryptonight... Thanks to dual BIOS, when mining on rx 56 vega, you can change the parameters of the video card by moving the lever on the device panel. The backup BIOS has write protection, which makes it possible to restore the video accelerator after an unsuccessful firmware. People Also Ask: Common Questions Mining on RX Vega 56 Which model is the best for Mining on RX Vega 56? At the first place Gigabyte vega 56 The best mining card in AMD's line of vega GPUs. Exclusive cooler WindForce 2x, with powerful fans, copper heat pipes and a 2-section radiator, protects against overheating under severe loads. A low-noise, cold and relatively inexpensive video card is an excellent option for assembling a mining farm for the extraction of XMR cryptocurrency. Msi AIR Boosts Vega 56 has high performance mining. The manufacturer overclocks the GPUs at the factory. Setting the Boost mode, accelerates the core to the level of 1450 MHz, this is the best indicator in this line of Vega video cards. The hot air is removed by a two-slot cooling system with a powerful turbine. The powercolor vega 56 video card is available in several versions: - PowerColor Radeon RX Vega 56 Nano Edition compact card with one fan and no BIOS toggle switch. - PowerColor Radeon RX Vega 56 Red Devil made in the original style. The main feature of this model is 3 BIOS switching options: standard, quiet and OC BIOS. The function allows you to adjust the power consumption and the temperature for turning on the fans with one click of the toggle switch. - PowerColor Radeon RX Vega 56 Red Dragon resembles Red Devil in appearance, but has a shortened PCB, only two BIOS versions and an additional power connector 6 + 8 pin, instead of the usual 8 + 8, on other rx vega 56 models. On video accelerators series PowerColor radeon rx vega 56 mining is quite complicated in settings, but with proper overclocking, the card demonstrates good hash rates, and three fans reliably protect against overheating. Video accelerator Asus ROG Strix RX Vega 56 OC 8 GB equipped with proprietary utility Asus GPU Tweak II, with the function of automatic tuning to the maximum allowable frequencies. Led-backlight allows you to visually control the degree of heating of the asus rx vega 56 video card in the process of mining cryptocurrency. GPU Double Edition Vega RX 56 American company XFX, has 20% reduced dimensions in comparison with the reference version. The card has no factory acceleration, so the core frequency remains at its default values.. This concludes the review of models from different manufacturers. The test results showed that Vega cards for mining are quite promising. The full disclosure of the capabilities of the new architecture depends on the development of new software for mining cryptocurrencies. The new Nvidia 2080 model line competes well with the Vega series graphics cards. What to mine, profitable algorithm: Mining on RX Vega 56 How productive is ether mining on vega 56? AMD GPUs are traditionally focused on mining Ethash coins. The hashing speed of the vega 56 video card in ether mining depends on the overclocking potential of a particular model. On servers Ezil.me and Rustpool.xyz you can set up Merged mining cryptocoins ETH + ZIL... Merged mining is different from the traditional dual mining previously widely practiced on red cards when mining Ethereum. You mine ETH by connecting through one of the specified services to another pool (for example, Ethermine), and the system periodically switches you to a ZIL mining round (once every 1.5 hours). At the end of the round, you will be returned back to mining ETH. Basically, every merged mining implementation has an auxiliary chain and a parent blockchain. A prerequisite for collaboration is to use the same hashing algorithm. Money is also paid in two coins. As a result, you will receive an additional 10-12% profit. According to information from mining forums to increase productivity in cards vega rx56 upload bios from the flagship vega rx 64 model... But each owner does this at his own peril and risk, and no one guarantees the success of such experiments. The cards of this line have a high hash rate based on the Cryptonight algorithm.... Before Monero switched to the RandomX algorithm, mining of this altcoin was profitable, but this is already in the past. As of 06/22/2020, the first place in mining profitability for vega 56 is the coin Port Protocol (XHV) on the CryptoNightHaven algorithm. Brings a little less income Conceal (CCX), CryptoNightConceal algorithm. Forks of the kryptonite algorithm do not heat up the graphics adapters to excessively high temperatures, so it is recommended to transfer the rig to mining these tokens during the hot season. Moreover, they occupy the top lines of the rating in online services for calculating the profitability of mining. The AMD Vega series video cards also performed well with the new MimbleWimble POW protocol. Altcoins MWC-CT31 (Cuckatoo31 algorithm) and Grin-CT32 (Cuckatoo32 algorithm) are almost as profitable as digital coins Kryptonite and Ethash. For the fastest possible assessment of the market situation, experts use a mining calculator. Of course, the results they give are very approximate. The real hash rate and the amount of income can differ by 10-15%, both in plus and minus, but still it is worth paying attention to the data from these sites. Mining calculators: - Wattomine. - Coincalculator. Most users use a simple Nicehash service, where, after installation and a little setup, a smart program finds a beneficial algorithm itself. It is recommended to visit the service https://minerstat.com, here you will find hash rates and a list of profitable crypto coins for most models of video cards and ASICs. Hashrate on different algorithms: RX Vega 56 Hash rates may vary depending on the manufacturer of the video card, overclocking settings, operating system and mining software installed on a specific PC. New profitable projects periodically appear on the blockchain platform.

If, of course, he wants to quickly recoup the investment. Overclocking AMD Radeon Vega 56 At standard settings, any graphics accelerator in mining is unprofitable. The video card needs overclocking in mining, otherwise it will consume electricity in vain. Using the program MSI Afterburner it is possible to quickly overclock the video card. Optimal values are selected individually for each video card. For this video card, the optimal kernel settings will be: - Core Clock +100 - Memory Clock +600 - Power Limit 80 The hashing speed increases and the graphics card becomes profitable. For rx 56 vega overclocking settings, you can also use the utility WattTool. How to reduce energy consumption A powerful 3D graphics accelerator is a rather power-hungry device. The consumption of Vega 56 in mining is higher than that stated by the manufacturer in the technical parameters of the video card. To avoid excessively high electricity bills, undervolting (lowering the core voltage) is required. Will help here again WattTool program. In the program window, you need to change the voltage indicators in points P6 and P7(when controlled in manual mode, the voltage at lower frequencies will drop automatically). For the rx 56 vega, a 12% reduction (1.070 mV) is optimal, which will reduce the consumption of vega 56 in mining by 50 watts. Also in the program MSI Afterburner conveniently adjustable tension by stitching Power Limit. The optimal value is 80%, some video cards are able to hold a lower voltage, which has a positive effect on the payback period of the video card. Conclusion Cryptocurrency mining is not only a source of passive income, but also a promising investment. Many financial analysts are predicting a new and unprecedented rise in the value of virtual assets. One can be skeptical about such predictions. But the fact that bitcoin, and behind it and other coins, having arisen from oblivion, have become a real financial instrument cannot be refuted. Some experts believe that the virtual asset mining market has already stabilized. Miners shouldn't expect super-profits, but a new crypto winter is unlikely to come either. Predictability has always attracted institutional investors who will play an increasing role in the development of the crypto industry. One of the main factors determining a successful investment is the price of the electrics in your area. Mining farms operating on free or the cheapest electricity remain profitable in any market situation. Read the full article

iPhone 13 leak - Rumors and Everything We Know So Far

iPhone 13 leak: Apple fans want name change because of number 13

While Apple is expected to launch its next series of iPhone 13 later this year. Some users who describe themselves as triskaïdekaphobes, therefore afraid of the number 13. Would prefer the name iPhone (2021) to that of iPhone 13.

Apple is expected to launch 7 models this year. Among them, the iPhone 13. This is expected to hit the market in September and will be offered in four variants: the iPhone 13 mini, a standard model, the iPhone 13 Pro, and the 13 Pro Max. But the arrival of the new range raises a question related to its name, which puts off some of the users.

A survey conducted by Sellcells shows that 18.3% of iPhone users would like Apple to rename the future iPhone 13 to iPhone (2021). These users are Triskaïdékaphobes, they are afraid of the number 13.

And they consider this number to be unlucky. Faced with this number, 81.7% of users said that the nickname “iPhone 13” did not affect their purchasing choice.

Will Apple have to skip the iPhone 13? - iPhone 13 leak

It wouldn't be the first time that a tech giant has changed numbers out of superstition. Apple could also make the choice to skip number 13. It had done with number 9.

Microsoft had also done the same with Windows, which has never known version 9. (The editor of Redmond went from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10).

If we do not yet know what will be the official name of the next iPhone. We already know most of its specificities and novelties.

Even though Apple is doing everything to prevent leaks. We have a lot of information about the new generation of its smartphones.

On the design side, we already know that the iPhone 13 will have a smaller notch. A 120 Hz panel and could offer an Always-on screen thanks to LTPO. (Low-temperature polycrystalline oxide thin-film transistor) technology.

Regarding connectivity, all iPhone 13s will of course be 5G compatible. Thanks to the presence of a Qualcomm Snapdragon X60 modem.

Autonomy should be better because Apple would have managed to free up space to integrate larger batteries. Finally, the new version of the iOS 15 mobile operating system will be there. Bringing with it innovative functions.

Such as the possibility of storing identity papers thanks to the Wallet application, or the Digital option. The digital inheritance allows you to designate an heir to access your iCloud data in the event of death.

iPhone 13: 512 GB not a 1TB storage - iPhone 13 leak

The iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max would ultimately not carry 1 TB of internal storage. According to TrendForce analysts. Apple will offer the same storage capacities as last year on the iPhone 12.

Several leaks prophesied the arrival of an iPhone 13 with 1 TB of internal storage. According to the leaks. Apple's decision to increase the available storage space comes.

From the integration of a special anamorphic lens capable of filming in 8K up to 45 frames per second. To store the recorded sequences. Apple would therefore have decided to offer iPhone 13 Pro and 13 Pro Max with 1 TB of storage.

In a report published on June 21, 2021. TrendForce analysts are swimming against the grain. And claim that Apple will not offer more internal storage on the iPhone 13s.

iPhone 13 is very similar to iPhone 12 - iPhone 13 leak

The iPhone 13 promises to be very similar to the iPhone 12. For experts, it would be a transitional generation for Apple smartphones. The brand would take the fundamentals introduced last year.

Such as the Lidar scanner, angular edges, and a general design reminiscent of old iPhones. Moreover, the report repeatedly mentions the range under the name iPhone 12s.

Rather than launching new features. Apple will be content to improve already existing features.

TrendForce cannot imagine Apple revising upwards the storage capacity built into its high-end phones. The Californian brand should decline the Pro models in the following configurations: 128, 256, or 512 GB.

Unsurprisingly, the iPhone 13 should be offered at the same price as the iPhone 12 . Apple will take last year's price list literally.

Which ranges from 809 euros to 1259 euros, notes TrendForce. As a reminder, the new iPhones will not be announced before the September 2021 keynote.

iPhone 13 leak: we know the price of the next Apple smartphones before their presentation

The Taiwanese research firm TrendForce released a report earlier this week in which it announced. That sales of iPhone 12 mini were catastrophic.

Which led Apple to stop production. The report also unveils pricing information for the next generation. That will unveil later this year.

TrendForce refers to the new range with the number "12S" rather than "13". but it will probably be necessary to wait for the official presentation to know this information.

Price will be the same as the current generation of iPhones - - iPhone 13 leak

The price of components would have exploded. But Apple would have decided to keep the same prices as for its current iPhone 12.

Therefore, at the end of the year. We should find the iPhone 13 mini for 809 euros. The iPhone 13 from 909 euros. The 13 Pro for 1,159 euros. And the 13 Pro Max from 1,259 euros. The price of the iPhone 12 Pro Max with 512 GB soars to 1,609 euros in France.

This new generation should be more interesting than the previous one. In particular thanks to the new A15 chip engraved in 5 nm or the 120 Hz OLED screen on the Pro models.

All iPhones will benefit from new photosensors this year. We expect better stabilization and to perform better in low light.

iPhone 13 Pro: thinner notch, Touch ID under the screen. This video reveals the design of Apple's smartphone - iPhone 13 leak

In collaboration with the Dutch media LetsGoDigital, Jermaine Smit. The talented graphic designer behind the Concept Creator YouTube channel. It has developed sublime renderings showing the iPhone 13 Pro.

One of the two premium models in the iPhone 13 range. iPhone 13, an iPhone 13 mini, an iPhone 13 Pro, and an iPhone 13 Pro Max.

The graphic designer relied on the various rumors that appeared on the web in recent months to develop the renderings. It is not uncommon for Apple to manage to keep certain elements a secret until the keynote.

iPhone 13 leak

No revolution this year in iPhone - iPhone 13 leak

It will notice the iPhone 13 Pro is not much different from the iPhone 12 Pro.

In addition to Face ID, Apple includes a Touch ID fingerprint reader. For the very first time, this sensor is slipped under the screen. It is also the first time that Apple offers two methods of biometric authentication. The widespread use of masks has forced Apple to review its plans.

iPhone 13 leak

IPhone 13 sales will explode, what's new in Windows 11 is the recap - iPhone 13 leak

The demand for iPhone 13 will be exceptionally strong this year. Microsoft officially announces Windows 11, Top of the worst passwords 2020.

On this day after the full moon and as the weekend approaches. We tell you everything in the last recap of the week before the weekend!

The renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes. That Apple will capture a large part of the demand of the high-end segment. Thanks to new products and a better technical sheet, but also thanks to the “Huawei ban.

A large part of consumers tempted by high-end smartphones were previously Huawei customers. Before the manufacturer suffered heavy retaliation from the United States. causing him to lose his Android license.

Deprived of the Play Store. Its alternative App Gallery does not meet the expectations of consumers. And the iPhone 13 thus arrives at the right time to capture the demand of the disappointing. Chinese society in the very high-end segment.

iPhone 13 leak

The iPhone 13 will be released on September 24, 2021, no delay this year! - iPhone 13 leak

The release date of the iPhone 13 and all its variations would be scheduled for September 24, 2021. There would therefore be no delay this year for Apple's new smartphones.

In 2020, iPhones were announced in October, much later than usual. If the iPhones are released on September 24. The keynote should take place on September 14.

In 2020, Apple did not "respect" its usual schedule for smartphone releases. The Cupertino company did not present it's iPhone 12 in September but in October. And, like the iPhone X, not all models hit the market 10 days after their announcement.

This was the case for two of them, the iPhone 12 and the iPhone 12 Pro. The iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone 12 Pro Max had to wait several more weeks before arriving on the store shelves.

This delay was obviously a consequence of the global coronavirus epidemic. A complicated health situation to which is added the shortage of components. Which currently affects all segments of high-tech products.

We talk about it regularly in our columns. It particularly affects game consoles and graphics cards. But smartphones are also affected. According to Qualcomm. Will the iPhone 13s expected this fall to be late? It seems not.

iPhone 12 leak

Apple will produce iPhone 13 for maybe in a September launch - iPhone 13 leak

A financial analyst from US investment bank Wedbush Securities released a note saying. The iPhone 13s will be unveiled in September. He even goes a little further. Since he says that the start of the marketing of smartphones will take place on Friday, September 24, 2021.

To explain this hypothesis, it relies on information gleaned from the firm's Asian subcontractors. The firm is said to have planned to produce between 130 and 150 million units. Before the end of 2021. And between 35% and 45% of its phones will be assembled in the third quarter. Ie between July and September.

The hypothesis of September 24 for the commercial launch of the iPhone 13. It is also responds to the habits of the firm whose iPhones are always available on a Friday. If we rely on this hypothesis.

We can derive the date of Apple's keynote: it would take place 10 days before, i.e. September 14, 2021. And pre-orders would start on September 17th. It remains to be seen whether all the planned models will be available at the same time.

IPhone 13: Apple threatens to file a complaint against the leakers - iPhone 13 leak

Apple has decided to show its teeth in the face of the many leaks around the iPhone 13. The manufacturer has started to send several threat letters to the most influential leakers in the Apple community. The objective is clear, to limit as much as possible in the future the leaks linked to future products of the Apple brand.

As you may know, the leaks concerning the iPhone 13 have been increasing on the web in recent weeks. For example, we were able to discover photos of a prototype of the iPhone 13 mini.
