A | While scientists are still to determine whether some extraterrestrial civilization may exist somewhere out there in the universe, one astronomer points out that we apparently don’t have a plan for a yet-hypothetical situation where aliens actually reach out to us.,According to the Daily Star, prominent popular scientist and Australia’s Astronomer at Large Fred Watson pointed out that scientists do have a checklist to establish whether a communication attempt by aliens is genuine, but don’t have a plan for actually establishing contact with them.,“There’s a well-established chain of boxes that need to be ticked and it would go through a lot of analysis to ensure that what you’re talking about is a real phenomenon,” he said. “However, once scientists identified what had happened, it’d then be up to the political leaders of the world to decide what to do about it, and as far as I’m aware, there’s no plan in place.”,Burnout or Homeostasis: Researchers Explain Why Aliens Are Yet to Come Knocking at Earth's Door20 June, 13:15 GMT,He did note, however, that there is a rather “gloomy outlook about there being intelligent life forms” out there in space, with the “overwhelming opinion” being that “microbial life might exist.”,“The common view is we are just a complete freak of nature – intelligent life is so rare and is such an unlikely event," Watson remarked.。
B | 8月25日消息，据知情人士透露，苹果正加紧筹备新一代Mac mini台式电脑的发布，这将是该产品线近两年来的首次重大更新。 在核心配置上，新款Mac mini可能直接搭载尚未公开的M6芯片，而非此前外界预期的M5。 目前现款机型仍采用M4系列芯片，这意味着此次升级将跨越整整一代，直接跃升至M6平台。 从发布时间看，这款新Mac mini属于苹果今年下半年新品矩阵的重要一环，同期还将推出新款Apple Watch、AirPods，以及一款配备屏幕并支持人脸识别的智能家居设备。整体发布时间大概率早于9月的iPhone新品发布会。 此外，OLED版iPad mini仍有望在10月面世，新款iMac和MacBook Pro等Mac产品升级也将陆续跟进。更长远地，苹果计划在2026年推出Home Hub平板电脑、升级版Apple TV 4K以及新款HomePod mini。
