Samsung is in the news today. They have been working on home improvement products for a while now. They've got the smart refrigerators, dishwashers, microwaves, stoves and now they're making an appliance for your closet. Introducing Samsung's AirDresser. This is a neat appliance I must say, for someone who uses dress shirts regularly and suits, this will really come in handy. Well what is it Kenny!? Ima tell you, so sit back, grab your coffee, tea, hot chocolate or whatever you wanna drink or snack on and enjoy this article. So Samsung's AirDresser basically cleans your clothes that you hang inside of it which Samsung calls "Jet Air" & "Air Hangers" which shake and blow air at the clothes to loosen up any dust or lint stuck on them. Then it uses their "Jet Stream Technology" to remove viruses, bacteria and more. More specifically Samsung says that the AirDresser can remove 99.99999% (I exaggerated with the 9's there) of four kinds of of harmful viruses which include, Influenza, Adenovirus, Corona Virus and Herpesvirus. It also eliminates 100% of house mites, 99% of gases that cause odor, such as sweat and food and 99% of harmful substances like Perchloroethylene which is a colorless nonflammable liquid solvent which produces a sweet ether-like odor (a little like alcohol). Not only does this device clean them but it also dries your clothes, using a a heatpump which dries your clothes at a low temperature to prevent shrinking & it also can take care of wrinkles in your clothing through a process of steam and air to relax the clothes. (Now that's freaking awesome!). The AirDresser can also help protect clothes outside of the unit since it can dehumidify the air around it. All of that Samsung says that this product will prolong your clothing keeping them looking and smelling fresh for a longer period of time since it reduces the need for a full wash. Obviously, you'll still need to fully wash the clothing you hang up, however this device reduces the times you have to do it. For example, you go out to a dinner party with a clean white dress shirt, you only used it for a couple of hours and hang it back up in your closet, this AirDresser will keep it smelling and looking fresh plus maintaining it clean. So instead of washing the shirt 4 times a month, you'll cut it in half or once depending on how often you wear it.
The AirDresser even has a self cleaning feature which does not require any detergents or any other products, it just uses its same steam, heat & air technology that it uses to clean your clothes. It'll even tell you when it needs to be cleaned out, which is every 40 cleaning cycles. There is no word yet on pricing and where you can purchase it at so stay tuned for that info when it comes out.

FORTNITE! Yeah that game that all the kids play these days is super popular. And one of the reasons why the game is very popular is due to it's use of dance moves known at emotes. Just like this one you see up there called the Orange Justice. However Fortnite recently got in the news today for a special event the creators of the game are hosting or rather a contest. Epic Games is Collaborating with the famous social media app TikTok in a contest for anyone to upload their own unique dance move on TikTok with the #EmoteRoyaleContest using one of the original songs from Fortnite. The winner of the contest will see their dance move become an actual emote in the game for everyone to use. Now that's pretty cool!

AMD Radeon RX 5600 XT. What a name, and sure for a long name like that it should deliver some pretty high expectations. For those of you who are not familiar with computer tech, let me give you a quick run down of what this device is. This device you see up there is what's called a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) This is essentially a chip with cooling fans integrated on it. The GPU renders images, animations and video for the computers screen. So all of those YouTube videos you watch or Gif's you see on memes on the internet or on social media like Facebook etc. All of those imaging processings are done by this device up there in order for your eyes to enjoy. Now with that out of the way, this is AMD's answer to NVIDIA's GPU. AMD is calling this their "ultimate 1080p gaming card" for under $300. Obviously it's not going to support the dream vision of full on 4K display, however that's not AMD's goal. AMD is concentrating on a more realistic point of view. What do most gamer have right now in their homes, yes 4K is becoming widely popular however it's so very expensive to get a PC up and running on 4K. Most people have 1080p displays in their homes right now, and most people have hardware that support it. So why not invest just a couple hundred bucks to upgrade what you already have to get the best gaming experience you can have with what you've got. It makes sense to me and I like AMD's approach to this matter. For more details on what it's capable of check out the link below.

Dinosaurs! Who would've known we would come to this topic?....well I did, because I love dinosaurs. Ever since I was a kid, I've always have had a fascination about them. So yesterday an article was published by Ashley Strickland from CNN regarding a new species of dinosaur that was discovered in China's Jehol Province which is now known as Hebei. It was surprisingly discovered 10 years ago by a farmer and was placed in China's Dalian Natural History Museum, however researcher Ashley Poust didn't fully analyze the discovery until recently. The findings were published a week ago in the journal "The Anatomical Record". "The new dinosaur fits in with an incredible range of feathers winged animals that are closely related to the origin of birds" Poust said. The dinosaur was about the size of a raven but double it's length with a long bony tail. It's entire body was covered with feathers, complete with two plumes at the tail's end. It had a fierce narrow face and a mouth full of sharp teeth. It had small light bones and a wing-like forelimbs, and there were also feathers on it's legs. This dinosaur was an early relative of Velociraptors which lived 75 million years ago. Researchers learned that birds, pterosaurs and bird-like dinosaurs all lived in the environment at the same time. This is also when flowering plants initially began to flourish. "There were a lot of flying, gliding and flapping around these ancient lakes," Poust said. "As we continue to discover more about the diversity of these small animals, it becomes interesting how they all might have fit into the ecosystem. It was an alien world, but with some of the earliest feathers and earliest flowers, it would have been a pretty one." They ended up naming this dinosaur Wulong Bohaiensis which translates to "a dancing dragon". For more information on this article, check out the link below.
