>Designer creates wearable third eye
為低頭族打造的'第三只眼'

An industrial design student has created a high-tech third eye that can be affixed to a person's forehead and look out for obstacles as they walk, while their real eyes are glued to their smartphone.
一名工業(yè)設(shè)計專業(yè)的學(xué)生發(fā)明了一款高科技產(chǎn)品"第三只眼"，這只"眼睛"可以貼在人的額頭上，當他們邊走路邊埋頭看手機時，這只"眼睛"可以幫他們留意前方的障礙物。

Minwook Paeng's “Third eye” consists of a translucent plastic case that is fixed directly to the wearer's forehead with a thin gel pad.
彭敏旭發(fā)明的"第三只眼"包括一個半透明的塑料盒，用薄膠墊就可以直接貼在佩戴者的額頭上。

Inside this plastic eye are a small speaker, a gyroscopic sensor and a sonar sensor.
塑料眼睛內(nèi)置了一個小揚聲器、回轉(zhuǎn)傳感器和聲波定位傳感器。

When the gyroscope detects while the user's head is angled down, it opens the eye's plastic eyelid and the sonar starts to monitor the area in front of the user.
當回轉(zhuǎn)傳感器檢測到用戶低頭時，就會開啟第三只眼的塑料眼皮，聲波定位儀就會開始監(jiān)測用戶前方區(qū)域。

When it detects an obstacle, it warns the wearer via the connected speaker.
當傳感器檢測到障礙物時，就會通過連接的揚聲器警告佩戴者。

>Drinking causes damage to the brain
研究:喝酒無論多少都傷腦

There is no such thing as a "safe" level of drinking, with increased consumption of alcohol associated with poorer brain health, according to a new study.
新研究指出，"安全"的飲酒量是不存在的，喝酒喝得越多，對大腦健康的損害就越大。

Drinking had an effect on the brain's gray matter - regions in the brain that make up "important bits where information is processed," according to lead author Anya Topiwala, a senior clinical researcher at Oxford.
該研究的首席作者、牛津大學(xué)高級臨床研究員安雅?托皮瓦拉指出，喝酒會影響大腦灰質(zhì)，這是"信息加工處理的重要區(qū)域"。

"The more people drank, the less the volume of their gray matter," Topiwala said.
托皮瓦拉說："人們喝的酒越多，大腦灰質(zhì)就越少。"

There was no "safe" level of drinking - meaning that consuming any amount of alcohol was worse than not drinking it.
所謂的"安全"飲酒量并不存在，這意味著，喝多喝少都有害，不喝才是安全的。

Researchers also found no evidence that the type of drink - such as wine, spirits or beer - affected the harm done to the brain.
研究人員還發(fā)現(xiàn)，沒有證據(jù)證明酒的類型(比如葡萄酒、白酒或啤酒)對大腦受損程度有不同的影響。

>MS gets rid of IE browser
IE瀏覽器明年6月'退役'

The end is finally near for Internet Explorer, one of Microsoft's most-reviled products that refused to die.
微軟最招人恨卻又不肯退出歷史舞臺的IE瀏覽器終于要走到盡頭了。

Microsoft announced that it will end support for Internet Explorer 11 on June 15, 2022.
微軟近日宣布，將于2022年6月15日終止對IE11瀏覽器的支持。

In August 2020, Microsoft turned its back on IE for its own products.
2020年8月，微軟自己的產(chǎn)品開始棄用IE瀏覽器。

Workplace chat software Teams stopped working with IE last fall, and its 365 apps (including Office) will no longer work on IE by mid-summer 2021.
去年秋天微軟職場聊天軟件Teams不再和IE瀏覽器兼容，到今年仲夏，包括Office在內(nèi)的微軟365個應(yīng)用也將不再支持IE瀏覽器。

Once the most-used web browser, Internet Explorer had been on a steady downward trajectory for nearly two decades.
IE瀏覽器曾經(jīng)是應(yīng)用最廣泛的網(wǎng)絡(luò)瀏覽器，但近二十年來使用量一直不斷下降。

Its share of the browser market fell below the 50% threshold in 2010 and now sits at about 5%, according to browser usage tracker NetMarketShare.
瀏覽器使用量追蹤機構(gòu)NetMarketShare的數(shù)據(jù)顯示，2010年IE在瀏覽器市場的份額跌破50%大關(guān)，如今只剩下5%的份額。

Google's Chrome is the browser leader, commanding a 69% share of the market.
谷歌瀏覽器是瀏覽器中的領(lǐng)頭羊，占據(jù)了69%的市場份額。

In its death announcement, Microsoft said Internet Explorer is slow, no longer practical for or compatible with many modern web tasks, and is far less secure than modern browsers.
在這份"死亡聲明"中，微軟表示，IE瀏覽器速度太慢，已經(jīng)不適用也不兼容于許多現(xiàn)代網(wǎng)絡(luò)任務(wù)，也遠不如現(xiàn)代瀏覽器安全。
