It's December 2, 2020. We're celebrating National Special Education Day today, happy that technology has become a big part of how folks with disabilities live better, more meaningful lives.  ⏰ Today's Big Stories... in 30 Seconds Today We Watched, Read, and Listened to (so you don't have to): 685 articles, 11 podcasts, 21 press releases, 321 tweets, and 9 YouTube videos 1. Reddit Claims 52 Million Daily Active Users It could be the ban on hate groups has done wonders for Reddit's image, or it could just be people forced to stay home more. Either way, the social media/threaded comment board site is saying it caters to an average of 52 million daily active users, up 44% from a year ago. 2. New Xbox Consoles Can Run PS2 Games Ok, ok, you gotta enable a special developer mode, but if you want to play retro PlayStation games along with the latest and greatest Xbox Series X/S games, Microsoft's new consoles seem to be the way to go. Nicely done! 3. Apple's M1 Chip Running Windows Puts Surface Pro X to Shame Windows doesn't run natively on Apple's brand new bespoke silicon, but an Amazon Web Services engineer found a way to run Microsoft's OS in emulation on one of the new Macs. Turns out, Apple runs Windows much better than the Surface Pro X does. 🦑 Go Deeper Sascha Brodsky takes a deep dive into how the US military is using our personal data to track our movement. It's ostensibly to help its own operations logistics, but still, do we want our privacy invaded like this? 🎱 By the Numbers Thrashing the competition  Data: ZD Net Apple's M1 chip just slays Microsoft's Surface Pro X in running Windows—something the M1 isn't optimized for in the first place. Not a good look, Microsoft. Time to license Windows for ARM-chips, yeah?  🔥 Today's Hot Deal
Like the Pro version in our roundup of the best wireless earbuds, the Powerbeats 3 (from the sonic wizards at Beats by Dre) are a premium-quality pair of 'buds, and they're currently on sale for a ridiculous $120 off. Get yours now! 🤓 Nerd Out "This doesn't bug me." -Tim Fisher, General Manager Inspired by a volcano-living beetle, this new material can reflect 95 percent of solar radiation, giving the term "sunblock" a whole new meaning. (Share on Twitter) 💎 You Know You Want It Stylishly retro  Image: Victrola Record players are super hip and cool, right, but you always gotta figure out how to listen to them. Most of us have some sort of Bluetooth speaker lying around, making this retro-cool turntable from Victrola a natural fit for your lifestyle and street cred. 🚀 Facing the Future Only the cow knows. We know that some folks in politics like to complain that climate change policies could possibly "ban cows." As ridiculous as that is, some scientists are working on cows that can handle the warming of our planet, thereby staving off a horrifying, apocalyptic future a little longer. 🗞 Extra! Extra!
