FCC listing shows details on Snapchat Spectacles 2

It looks like Snap Inc. isn’t ready to give up on its Spectacles just yet. A new heavily redacted FCC filing shows what could possibly be considered the second version of the social media company’s wearables. As mentioned, the filing is heavily redacted but there are some details that point to what we could expect from Spectacles 2. The filing mentions that it’s for a “wearable video camera” from Snap Inc. and has the FCC ID of 2AIRN-002.

There’s also a proposed packaging label for the device that mentions Spectacles specifically and even the mention of Model 002. It also suggests that the device will support 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2. And it’s made for the iPhone but will also support Android. There’s not much else we can say as there are multiple confidentiality requests attached to the filing. For some of the items that are considered short term, things are requested to be kept under wraps until May 26, 2018. Now, the question is whether Snap will release this is another question altogether as filings don’t necessarily mean a product is on the way.

Netflix cancels ‘Everything Sucks’ after one season

Another Netflix show bites the dust. The ‘90s-inspired coming-of-age series Everything Sucks is the latest show on the streaming service to be cancelled. Unfortunately, the show was only able to release one season. And while it’s being praised by for it being a diverse and inclusive show, it failed to breakthrough with a wider audience. The cast members and fans of the show have taken to social media to express their disappointment over the news. Its creators Ben York Jones and Michael Mohan have already started plotting out the second season.

Google stops selling Pixel and Pixel XL on its online store

While you might still find the Pixel and Pixel XL being sold by third-party vendors, you won’t be seeing these Google smartphones in the company’s own online store. Google confirmed with The Verge that they are no longer selling the original Pixel phones. You’ll have to look elsewhere to get one. With Google pushing the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL, it makes sense for them to take out the previous generation phones.

Essential wants you to embrace the notch (or not) with new update

No matter what your opinion is of the notch, it seems to be here to stay. Essential was one of the first to implement this and they’re giving their users options now on how to deal with this cut-out. When the device first launched, it was designed to fade into the background as much as possible. The phone would “crop” content like games and videos to make sure these don’t flow into where the cut-out was. But now, the latest update gives users three options on how to deal with the notch.

The first one is “Essential Recommended,” which is based on how the company thinks the notch should be made visible or not. It’s a setting that changes on an app-by-app basis. The second option completely hides the feature in landscape mode, which is for those who really don’t want to have to think about the cut-out being there. The last option lets you use the entire screen real estate, meaning you’ll include the areas around the notch.
