detour
Recently a road closure led to Google Maps suggesting an alternate route in Colorado. Unfortunately, anyone who took the detour encountered a single lane muddy road, leading to many of the drivers getting stuck with no way out.
最近，道路封闭导致Google Maps建议在科罗拉多州选择替代路线。 不幸的是，任何绕行的人都遇到了一条单车道的泥泞道路，导致许多驾驶员陷入困境而无路可走。
Drivers on their way to the airport encountered an unwelcome site: a crash on Peña Boulevard (which leads to the airport) led to a traffic jam, which is the last thing anyone wants to see when they have a flight to catch. But Google Maps said it had a solution! With the traffic jam in full force, it suggested an alternate route to get to the airport. And better yet, it promised to do it in nearly half the time the journey would have taken on Peña Boulevard.
前往机场的驾驶员遇到一个不受欢迎的地方：佩尼亚大道(PeñaBoulevard)上的撞车事故(通向机场)导致交通拥堵，这是任何人在有航班要赶上时要看的最后一件事。 但是谷歌地图表示有解决方案！ 在交通拥堵的情况下，它建议了一条前往机场的替代路线。 更好的是，它承诺将在PeñaBoulevard上完成旅程的将近一半的时间内做到这一点。
Who wouldn’t want to jump on that promise? Unfortunately for about 100 drivers, the detour was a terrible suggestion. Recent storms converted the single lane dirt road into mud. Worse yet, both sides of the road had steep ditches, so there was no turning around. Cars quickly got stuck, leading to an even worse traffic jam with no escape.
谁不想兑现这一诺言？ 不幸的是，对于大约100名驾驶员来说，绕道是一个可怕的建议。 最近的暴风雨使单车道的土路变成了泥泞。 更糟糕的是，马路两边都有陡峭的沟渠，所以没有转弯。 汽车很快被卡住，导致交通事故更加严重，无法逃脱。
As it turns out, the road Google Maps took so many drivers down may have not been open to the public and couldn’t handle the influx of massive traffic. Local news trucks even found a road closed sign, but it had fallen to the ground. The whole sequence of events once again proves it’s usually wise to second guess map directions, especially when it offers to cut travel time in half by leaving the main road. Even if other people are also taking the same route, they may be listening to the same bad directions you are. [CNN]
事实证明，Google Maps导致众多驾驶员瘫痪的道路可能尚未向公众开放，也无法应对大量流量的涌入。 当地的新闻卡车甚至发现了一个道路封闭的标志，但它已经倒在了地上。 整个事件序列再次证明了第二次猜测地图方向通常是明智的，特别是当它通过离开主干道将旅行时间减少一半时。 即使其他人也走相同的路线，他们也可能正在收听与您相同的错误指示。 [ CNN ]

UK Citizens can port their number with a text: Starting today, The United Kingdom’s “Text to Switch” rules take effect. The new rules state that when a customer texts their carrier for a port out code, the carrier must respond with that code within a minute. That should make switching carriers far easier than it is now. [TechRadar]
英国公民可以在文本中输入号码：从今天开始，英国的“文字转换”规则生效。 新规则规定，当客户通过短信向承运人发送出港代码时，承运人必须在一分钟内以该代码做出回应。 那应该使交换载波比现在容易得多。 [ TechRadar ]

Security systems are useless when off: It may seem obvious, but if you have a security system and don’t turn it on, the alarm system can’t help you. Security solutions company Cove surveyed nearly a thousand people who had a break-in, and of those who had a security system about half of them admitted it was off during the break-in. Unfortunately, when it comes to any security, humans are the weakest link. [ZDNet]
安全系统在关闭时是无用的：看起来很明显，但是如果您有一个安全系统并且不打开它，则警报系统将无法为您提供帮助。 安全解决方案公司Cove对近一千名遭受入侵的人进行了调查，其中拥有安全系统的人中约有一半人承认在入侵过程中该系统已关闭。 不幸的是，在任何安全方面，人都是最薄弱的环节。 [ ZDNet ]

Another City hit with ransomware: Now a third Florida city found its computers infected ransomware, specifically Ryuk. Ryuk typically infects computers through a malicious link in an email. Previously we reported that Lake City paid out nearly $500,000 to decrypt its files, and now Key Biscayne finds itself with the same decision to make. Stop us if you’ve heard this before, unfortunately, when it comes to any security, humans are the weakest link. [Ars Technica]
另一个城市遭到勒索软件的打击：现在，佛罗里达州的第三个城市发现其计算机感染了勒索软件，特别是Ryuk。 Ryuk通常会通过电子邮件中的恶意链接感染计算机。 之前我们曾报道说， Lake City支付了近500,000美元来解密其文件，现在Key Biscayne发现自己也做出了同样的决定。 不幸的是，如果您曾经听说过，请阻止我们，就任何安全而言，人与人之间的联系最薄弱。 [ Ars Technica ]

Microsoft is deleting your ebooks: Microsoft used to sell ebooks in its Microsoft Store. But those are going away, and the company will delete purchases you made, and you won’t be able to read those books anymore. The only good news here is, the company promised to offer refunds for all books purchased. [Gizmodo]

Electric Vehicles in the EU get more “vroom vroom”: Starting today, any hybrid or electric vehicles sold in the EU are required to have an Acoustic Vehicle Alert Systems (AVAS). Hybrid and electric cars are quieter than internal combustion engine vehicles, and so may be more dangerous to pedestrians and other road users. The AVAS will make sounds when the car is traveling under 12 mph. Jaguar already posted a clip of the sound its vehicles will make if you want a preview. [The Verge]
欧盟的电动汽车拥有更多的“ vroom vroom”：从今天开始，在欧盟销售的任何混合动力或电动汽车都必须具有声学车辆警报系统(AVAS)。 混合动力和电动汽车比内燃机汽车更安静，因此对行人和其他道路使用者可能更危险。 当汽车以低于12 mph的速度行驶时，AVAS会发出声音。 捷豹已经发布了如果您想预览的话，车辆会发出的声音片段 。 [ 边缘 ]

Google’s upcoming Fuchsia OS gets a developer site: Google is working on an alternative OS called Fuschia. It isn’t Linux, it isn’t Chrome, and it isn’t Android. But it may be somewhere between all those options. Now Google has opened up a developer site for anyone interested in taking a closer look at the upcoming OS. [9to5Google]
谷歌即将推出的Fuchsia操作系统获得了一个开发者网站：谷歌正在开发另一种名为Fuschia的操作系统。 它不是Linux，不是Chrome，也不是Android。 但这可能介于所有这些选项之间。 现在，Google已为有兴趣详细了解即将发布的操作系统的任何人开放了一个开发人员网站。 [ 9to5Google ]

Bixby gets a third-party skills store: If you’re among the tens of people who love and use Bixby, good news: Bixby is getting a store. The Bixby Marketplace will apparently “enhance Bixby” by offering tools that are similar to Alexa Skills. These Capsules extend what Bixby can do, but probably not enough to make anyone use it on purpose. [Thurott]
Bixby拥有第三方技能商店：如果您是数十个喜欢和使用Bixby的人中的一员，那么好消息是：Bixby正在拥有一家商店。 Bixby市场显然将通过提供类似于Alexa Skills的工具来“增强Bixby”。 这些胶囊扩展了Bixby的功能，但可能不足以使任何人故意使用它。 [ 瑟洛特 ]

Apple recalling more MacBooks: MacBook owners have it rough right now. First, the keyboards were failing, then batteries were catching fire, and now it seems the Logic Board may be going on strike. Apple says a “small number” of MacBook Air models from 2018 may see an issue “with power” and it will replace the Logic Board for free [9to5Mac]
苹果公司召回了更多的MacBook： MacBook所有者现在的情况很艰难。 首先， 键盘出现故障 ，然后电池着火 ，现在看来逻辑板可能正在罢工。 苹果表示，从2018年开始，少量的MacBook Air机型可能会出现“ 带电 ”问题，它将免费取代Logic Board [ 9to5Mac ]
In 2018, NASA launched the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) Spacecraft. The TESS is essentially a space telescope (proving yet again everything sounds more impressive with the word space in front of it) and is specifically designed to find planets outside our solar system (dubbed exoplanets).
2018年，NASA发射了过渡系外行星测量卫星(TESS)航天器。 TESS本质上是一架太空望远镜(它前面的单词再次证明了一切听起来都更令人印象深刻)，并且是专门为寻找我们太阳系之外的行星而设计的(被称为系外行星)。
The space telescope has been hard at work, discovering planets, taking beautiful pictures of the stars, and even spotting comets. Now NASA says that the satellite found a new exoplanet, and its the smallest one found by TESS so far. Designated L 98-59b, the planet is about 80% the size of Earth.
太空望远镜一直在努力工作，发现行星，拍摄美丽的恒星照片 ，甚至发现彗星。 现在美国航空航天局说，这颗卫星发现了一颗新的系外行星，这是迄今为止TESS发现的最小的系外行星。 行星的名称为L 98-59b，大约是地球大小的80％。
We’re interested in planets close in size to Earth because they make good potential candidates for life as we know it. But size isn’t everything—gravity, for instance, is influenced by the makeup of the core of a planet, and a world the same size as Earth could have far more or less gravity depending on its core.
我们对尺寸接近地球的行星感兴趣，因为它们是我们所知的生命的潜在候选者。 但是，大小并不是万能的-例如，重力受行星核心构成的影响，而一个与地球大小相同的世界，取决于其核心，其重力可能或多或少。
In the case of L 98-59b, the planet’s position makes it an unlikely candidate for life—it sits in the “Venus Zone” which suggests a runaway greenhouse effect. Unless you prefer to be tossed around by constant hurricane-level winds and battered with acid rains, Venus is a terrible place for anything alive. [Engadget]
就L 98-59b而言，它的位置使其不可能成为生命的候选者-它位于“金星区”，这表明温室效应失控。 除非您喜欢被持续的飓风和酸雨所折磨，否则金星对任何活着的东西都是一个可怕的地方 。 [ Engadget ]
