Today's Story Highlights

A Peek at Our Wireless Future

Last week I attended a Qualcomm event that took me through the coming
wave of both 5G and WiFi 6 products, touched on the millimeter wave, and
at least spoke to 6G. From this I think I can begin to picture the world
as it will exist by the middle of the next decade, and it is kind of
fascinating. Qualcomm has spent nearly $50B -- yes billion -- advancing
its wireless initiatives.

Spotlight on Cybersecurity Awareness: Own IT, Secure IT, Protect IT

Cybersecurity should be a concern for all businesses -- large and small.
Cybersecurity also should be a concern for consumers, government
agencies, and basically anyone who relies on the Internet in our
increasingly connected world. Among efforts to focus attention on the
threatscape is designating October as National Cyber Security Awareness
Month.

ArcoLinux Eases the Way for the Arch-Curious User

ArcoLinux is a big change for the better for anyone switching from
another Linux distro to the Arch infrastructure. ArcoLinux previously
was known as "ArchMerge Linux." It is a rolling update distribution
based on Arch Linux, but it offers an unusual learning path to make
assimilating into the Arch architecture a more pleasant experience.
ArcoLinux is a continuation of ArchMerge Linux.

Amazon Enlists 30 Partners in Voice Interoperability Initiative

Amazon and dozens of partners have joined in a Voice Interoperability
Initiative. Their aim is to support multiple, interoperable voice
services on a single device so customers can access the one they want by
saying the appropriate wake word. Companies involved in the initiative
will work to accelerate the state of the art in machine learning and
wake word technology.

Xiaomi Unveils Mi 9 Pro 5G and Wraparound-Screen Mi MIX Alpha

Xiaomi has introduced a refresh of the Mi 9 Pro with support for 5G and
a groundbreaking smartphone with a wraparound display. The Mi 9 Pro 5G,
with a base price equivalent to $520, works with 5G offerings of China's
three main carriers -- China Mobile, China Unicom and China Telecom --
and supports speeds from 1.78 Gbps to 2.02 Gbps, or four times the speed
of typical 4G services.

Art Project Uncovers Bias in AI Training Models

A website created to gather faces for an art project has created a
controversy over the use of AI to classify human beings. The faces
collected at the ImageNet Roulette site are being incorporated into a
work of art in Milan. ImageNet Roulette "acts as a window into some of
the racist, misogynistic, cruel, and simply absurd categorizations
embedded within ImageNet," the creators wrote.

A 'Microsoft Flight Simulator' preview

Engadget Email Newsletter

Now available on your smart speaker and wherever you get your podcasts

Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Google Play | iHeart Radio

It's Monday, September 30, 2019.

Hey, good morning! You look fabulous.

Welcome back! Apple’s latest iOS update is here, and the difference from .0 to .1 is bigger than you might expect. Also, Flight Simulator is making a comeback, and on Saturday, Elon Musk set the timetable for Starship test flights.

(View in browser.)

Let’s try that again.

iOS 13.1 review

According to Chris Velazco, "A dark mode, helpfully redesigned apps and Voice Control add offer more flexibility out of the box, and now that iOS 13.1 has filed down a lot of the initial release’s rough edges, it’s finally worth installing."

This is the series’ first new entry since 2014.

Microsoft ‘Flight Simulator’ hands-on

Microsoft is now accepting applications for a pre-alpha Flight Simulator Insider program due to kick off later this year. The full game will launch on PC in 2020 and on Xbox after that. To find out what the ultra-realistic sim has to offer this time around, read Jessica Conditt’s impressions.

"Flight Simulator offers a new perspective on the world, period. Developers are committed to holding a mirror to reality, researching and recreating accurate atmospheres, cockpits, wind patterns, flight maneuvers, weather and locations. Even the stars in the night skies are accurate."

Mark your calendar (in pencil).

Elon Musk hopes SpaceX's Starship will reach orbit in six months

As part of a Q&A session at SpaceX's Starship presentation on Saturday night, Musk outlined plans for rapid prototyping that could get the vessel into space in a short time frame. Starship Mk1 at Boca Chica, Texas, should have a suborbital test flight in one to two months. If all goes well, either Mk3 or an eventual Mk5 would fly an orbital test within six months. Besides his typically optimistic production timelines, Musk’s presentation also included a look at the plan for in-orbit refueling, which would help the Starship take longer trips to Mars and beyond.

Play thousands of classic games with this portable console

It’s an extension of the game that encourages players to create in the real world.

'Minecraft Earth' launches in early access this October

Mojang and Microsoft have revealed that the augmented reality game will be available in "early access" for some countries, starting in October. It didn't say which countries or platforms would be included, but the beta has both Android and iOS users.

There’s an extra gig of RAM, but not much else new.

Apple's seventh-gen iPad gets bigger but keeps the same size battery

Now in its seventh generation, the "most popular" iPad that Apple sells has grown from 9.7- to 10.2-inches, ships with iPadOS and has a connector to support the company's still-pricey keyboard add-on. The folks at iFixit attacked this new model with their assortment of tools and found that despite the new size, inside it's still very similar to the previous model.

But wait, there's more...

1. Switch Lite added to class action lawsuit over controller drift

2. Rockstar isn't making single-player DLC for 'Red Dead Redemption 2'

3. Recommended Reading: Uber wants to be the 'operating system' for city life

4. Autoblow AI is a sex toy that promises 'surprise'

5. The Disney+ Obi Wan Kenobi series has a director: Deborah Chow

6. Google Assistant is now available for most Chromebooks

7. Twitch revamps channel pages to help you tune in to streamers

8. Judge rules Tesla and Musk's tweet violated labor laws
