Astronomers are puzzled by a mysterious dead star
It's either the heaviest neutron star or the lightest black hole.
Alex Andrix
Last year, an array of antennas in the US and Italy detected some odd gravitational waves. The readings indicated that an object with a mass 2.6 times that of the sun was gobbled up by a black hole, 780 million years ago. That's strange, because very few objects with that mass should be able to exist. According to a paper in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, scientists aren't sure if the object was the heaviest neutron star ever detected or an extremely light black hole. Er, what?

Fujifilm X-T4 review: The best APS-C mirrorless camera, for a price
A lot of money gets you a lot of camera.
Engadget
The X-T3 was already the best APS-C mirrorless camera available. But with the X-T4 and several key new features, most notably in-body stabilization and a fully articulating screen, Fujfilm has bested itself again.
Sure, it still has the same 26.1-megapixel sensor, image quality and video features as before, but those are still best in class. Now, feature for feature, it beats any other APS-C camera by miles.

Ford sets 2050 target for carbon neutrality
It's the latest company to announce its green intentions.
Ford has announced its plans to become carbon neutral by 2050, and to do so will focus on three main areas: vehicle use, its supply base and its company facilities — all of which account for around 95 percent of its CO2 emissions.
The pledge builds on the company's existing aim of powering all of its manufacturing plants with 100 percent locally sourced energy by 2035. It's also committed to investing more than $11.5 billion in electric vehicles through 2022. As the climate crisis intensifies, every major brand worth its salt has made similar declarations. Shell, BP, Delta and Formula 1 are just some of the companies that have committed to carbon neutrality in recent times. Microsoft, meanwhile, has plans to go one further and become carbon negative.

'Pokémon Unite' is a free-to-start MOBA for Nintendo Switch and mobile
Defense of the Pokémon.
Pokemon Company
The newest Pokémon game is Pokémon Unite, a real-time strategy game that will pit teams of five players against one another. If you've played a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) like League of Legends or Dota 2, it's that plus Bulbasaur and the rest. Instead of picking a hero or champion, you'll choose a Pokémon at the start of a game. As a match progresses, you'll unlock new abilities for that Pokémon.
Pokémon Unite will be free-to-start (meaning in-app payments will be involved) and available on Nintendo Switch and mobile devices, with crossplay support included. The launch date, however, is TBA. Continue reading.
