It's Thursday, June 11, 2020.
Even as pandemic-related lockdown policies ease, movie theaters everywhere remain closed and some may never reopen. It doesnât feel quite right to have a summer without trips to the movies, but you might be able to replicate the experience for a few guests right at home. LGâs [PH30N projector]( tries to fill the gap with a portable design and $400 price.

Of course, itâs only 720p, so if your aspirations lean toward the IMAX end of things, with features like 4K and HDR, then [you will want to read our higher-end suggestions]( (or [spend a little extra]( for more of those all-important lumens). But if the plan is to find a conveniently placed wall to have the kids watch Artemis Fowl on a bigger screen than usual, it might get the job done.

After a bunch of delays, [Android 11âs public beta has landed](. If you have a Pixel 2 phone or newer, you can pick up the experimental update [right here](. Â
Whatâs new? The changes revolve around communication apps and improved privacy features and controls. For example, instead of only being able to allow apps to have access to things like your camera, mic and location âAll the timeâ or âOnly while using app,â the new software will enable one-time permissions. The app will be able to request permission again the next time you use it. Permissions for less-frequently-used apps will also auto-reset after a set time. Reviews Editor Cherlynn Low [has already spent some time with Android 1](1 -- read up on how the new features fare.

Intel's '3D' Lakefield chips arrive for foldables and ultrathin laptops
Get ready for something new.
[Intel Fellow Wilfred Gomes, a member of Intel's Silicon Engineering Group, holds a processor with the advanced packaging technology called Foveros. It combines unique three-dimensional stacking with a hybrid computing architecture that mixes and matches multiple types of cores for different functions. ]

So what does Intel have planned in the face of rumors that Apple is close to building its own CPUs for Macs? Try these Lakefield processors. Dubbed âIntel Core processors with hybrid technology,â they combine i3 and i5 CPUs with low-power Atom cores. In an arrangement similar to the big.Little setup Qualcomm uses, they divide tasks between the cores theyâre most suited to, ideally extending battery life without limiting performance. They wonât be speed demons, but they can run Windows programs built for x86 chips without struggling.
And with 3D packaging technology -- think layer cake vs. pancake -- Intel says these chips can contain all of that in smaller spaces than usual, making them ideal for thin and light devices. Theyâre also Intelâs first chips with ânative dual internal display pipesâ that can help push dual-screen and foldable devices. A version of Samsungâs [Galaxy Book S]( with the new chips inside is slated to ship this month, followed by [Lenovoâs Thinkpad X1 Fold]( later this year.

The worldâs first smartwatch had the same issues we have today
Seiko's Ruputer had terrible battery life and a limited UI.
Back in 1998, Seiko launched arguably the worldâs first smartwatch. Reflecting the PDAs of the time, it did calendars, calculators and a few other things, docking with your PC and running on two humble watch batteries -- as long as they lasted. The struggles of the Seiko Ruputer were the same ones facing wearables now.

Grubhub sells itself to Just Eat to create a food delivery giant
The deal with Uber fell through.

Grubhub
The food delivery world is about to get a bit smaller. Just Eat Takeaway.com (Just Eat to most of us) is buying Grubhub in a deal worth $7.3 billion. The merger will create the largest online food delivery outlet outside China and will focus on the US, UK, Germany and the Netherlands.Â
The union would be âone of the few profitable playersâ in the delivery arena, the companies claimed. Grubhub had courted Uber as a potential buyer until talks fell through. Antitrust concerns were reportedly the sticking point â both companies worried the combination of two US-based delivery giants might run afoul of regulators, and they couldnât agree on how Uber would help Grubhub through any government challenges.Â
Provided the buyout gets approval, it should give Grubhub more of a safety net in the US as it competes with Uber, DoorDash and the rest.
