In a world where every other smartphone vendor mentions the full set of specs for new devices, Apple is still afraid to discuss RAM and battery size during iPhone launch events. The iPhone 16 keynote came and went, and Apple still hasn't addressed these key specs.  Apple did talk at great length about the A18 chips, making sure to say the A18 Pro is the best chip in the industry. The company also detailed memory bandwidth for the chips and said the iPhone 16 phones feature bigger batteries, and battery life got a "big boost." But Apple stopped short of mentioning the amount of RAM on the new phones, and it didn't provide any actual details surrounding that battery life claim. Apple wants buyers to trust that the new iPhone will be dependable in terms of performance and battery. In real life, it doesn't exactly work like that. Just ask all the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus buyers who discovered this year that their phones can't run Apple Intelligence. Or the many iPhone 14 Pro owners who weren't thrilled with how the battery aged rapidly after less than a year of use.  While you can't do anything about the RAM in an iPhone, you might want to buy the handset that offers the best battery life if that's a priority. Apple didn't provide specific details about the iPhone 16 batteries during the event, but it does mention battery life estimates on its website. In what follows, I'll show you how big of a boost you will get for each new iPhone 16 model. Continue reading...

Modern scholars have generally accepted the theory that violent invaders from the steppes (dry, grassy plains) of Eastern Europe used murderous means to displace many populations in Western Europe in the distant past. One such displacement was said to have occurred on the southeastern Iberian Peninsula in approximately 2,200 BC, marking the transition from the Copper (Chalcolithic) Age to the Bronze Age in that part of the world. It is known that the lands of modern-day southern Spain experienced a sudden population crash at this time, which could have been caused by warfare. This coincided with a shift in the genetic makeup of the descendants of the survivors of that crash, as past analyses of DNA taken from skeletal samples dating to this era showed an influx of genetic material from the Pontic-Caspian steppe region. Putting two and two together, archaeologists and historians concluded that invading armies from the steppes of Eastern Europe were responsible for both the population decline and the subsequent introduction of fresh DNA into the local gene pool. But this idea has now been firmly rejected by a team of archaeologists from the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) and the University of Murcia, who recently completed a study that looked more deeply into this tumultuous period in Iberian Peninsula history. These researchers uncovered evidence to show that population losses preceded the arrival of the Pontic-Caspian DNA in the region, which is not at all consistent with the invasion theory.

UPDATED 9/11/2024 23 years ago, on 9/11/2001, tragedy struck on U.S. soil. The World Trade Center towers became the target of terrorism, and as a result, it claimed thousands of lives. This includes both innocent civilians and first responders. One of those first responders who helped to search for survivors during the aftermath was actor Steve Buscemi. Buscemi worked 12-hour shifts along with other firefighters that day, searching for anyone who could possibly still be alive underneath all that rubble and debris. Buscemi had taken the FDNY civil service test when he was 18 and would work as an FDNY firefighter in downtown Manhattan in the ’80s. Now, in 2001, he was returning to his old stomping grounds. Steve Buscemi was a NY firefighter in the ’80s Steve Buscemi as a NY firefighter / YouTube Screenshot Buscemi would later leave the services to pursue acting, but he never strayed away from engaging in New York firefighter causes. At the time, during the efforts of the rescue, he said: “It was a privilege to be able to do it. It was great to connect with the firehouse I used to work with and with some of the guys I worked alongside. And it was enormously helpful for me because while I was working, I didn’t really think about it as much, feel it as much.” RELATED: How Passengers Aboard United Flight 93 Fought Back On 9/11 Back in 2013, the Brotherhood of Fire Facebook page went on to remind everyone of Buscemi’s efforts and contributions during that time. “Do you recognise this man? Do you know his name? Lots of people know he’s an actor, and that his name is Steve Buscemi. What very few people realise is that he was once one of New York’s Bravest,” the post says of Buscemi. There are little to no photos of Buscemi during this time because he did not want the publicity Steve Buscemi recalls being a firefighter in the ’80s / YouTube Screenshot At 18 years old, Steve Buscemi took the FDNY civil service exam in 1976. By 1980, he had joined the ranks as a firefighter with Engine Company 55 in Manhattan’s Little Italy, one of the busiest firehouses in the city. He served with the department for four years before transitioning to his career in Hollywood as an actor, writer, and director. Following the tragic events of September 11, 2001, Buscemi quietly returned to his old firehouse. Starting on September 12, he worked 12-hour shifts for several days alongside his fellow firefighters, searching through the wreckage of the World Trade Center for survivors. He avoided media attention, requesting no photographs or interviews, as his sole focus was to assist, not to gain publicity. 9/11 terror attacks / Wikimedia Commons “I was only there for like five days, but when I stopped going and tried to just live my life again, it was really, really hard,” Buscemi says about going back to civilian life following the tragic events that took place. “There are times when I talk about 9/11 and I’m right back there,” he adds. “I start to get choked up and I realize, ‘Ah, this is still a big part of me.’” THE YEAR BETWEEN, from left: Steve Buscemi, Wyatt Oleff, 2022. © Gravitas Ventures /Courtesy Everett Collection Looking back on his efforts that day, Buscemi said, “It was a privilege to be able to do it. It was great to connect with the firehouse I used to work with and with some of the guys I worked alongside. And it was enormously helpful for me because while I was working, I didn’t really think about it as much, feel it as much.” During the 9/11 terror attacks, 343 firefighters gave their lives protecting and rescuing others. Rest in peace to all the lives lost on that tragic day.
