While the recent lifting of the state of public health emergency due to COVID-19 throughout the country is something we have been looking forward to as we usher in this 'better normal'—especially so that this was foregrounded by policies relaxing public health protocols and easing travel restrictions to shore up the economy and keep up with the rest of the world—we should be reminded that this is not yet the end of the coronavirus disease. This is not what is meant by the lifting. On the day it was lifted, July 21, the Philippines had a total of 4,171,063 cases since the first case was reported in March 2020.

American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) In two studies, researchers demonstrate how climate modeling approaches can fill gaps in our understanding of hominin evolution and migration. Over the last several decades, research efforts into the lives of hominins – humans and their close ancestors – have shifted from identifying fossils and artifacts to understanding the environmental and climate settings in which they lived and how these factors could have influenced hominin evolution and migration.

Without any previous rumors or speculation, Sony has just revealed an agreement with the audio tech company Audeze about an acquisition. The latter is known for their high quality products, and despite being a part of Sony, they will still operate separately in the future. The press release (thanks BusinessWire ) also says that they will continue to "develop multi-platform products" , which probably means Xbox gamers will continue to be able to enjoy their fine products. Sony Interactive Entertainment SVP Hideaki Nishino had this to say about this deal: "Audeze is a premier brand for headphones, and this acquisition highlights Sony Interactive's focus on innovation and providing the best audio experience to PlayStation players.

We were a Commodore 64/128 household growing up, and Apple IIe systems at school, but that doesn't mean I was unaware of Atari 8-bits. There was a family at church who had an 800XL and later a 130XE — and a stack of COMPUTE!'s I used to read through for hours — and it was interesting to compare the two worlds, especially the relatively luxurious Atari BASIC and DOS against Commodore's spartan accoutrements. On the other hand, there was a lot more software and peripherals for the C64 by then, and you ended up becoming a lot more proficient with the guts of the hardware because you had to.
