Sony’s PlayStation store just got a big update: starting today, September 25th, you can buy hardware and accessories directly from a new online storefront. And yes, that includes physical game discs: at launch, you’ll be able to buy hard copies of games like Bloodborne, God of War III Remastered, and Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End. The store is open exclusively in the US, and, according to Sony, it’s intended to allow gamers to purchase products from the company itself. It’s also meant to “help gift givers easily find the right product for their friends or family.” Prices “align with those found at other retailers,” and PlayStation Plus members who are signed in are eligible for free one-day shipping.
The move comes ahead of the busy…
Apple Music for Android adds dark mode and Chromecast support

With its latest update, Apple Music’s Android app is now able to stream to Chromecast devices. 9to5Google notes that Chromecast support has been available in the beta version of the app since late August, but it’s now available to all users.
Along with Chromecast support, the app now features a dark mode, which supports Android 10’s system-wide setting, and it also can access radio stations via TuneIn, Radio.com, and iHeartRadio. Android Police reports that the service can access as many as 100,000 radio stations through these services. (For whatever reason, the patch notes I’m seeing on the UK’s Google Play Store don’t include this number.)
Adding more features to its Android app, as well as the Android Auto support that was added to…
Canon’s new $549 EOS M200 mirrorless camera has eye-detecting autofocus and 4K recording
Canon has unveiled the EOS M200 compact mirrorless camera, the follow-up to the M100 that was released in late 2017. It packs in several improvements over its predecessor: it now has the Digic 8 image processor, the amount of autofocus points has been increased from 49 to 123, it has eye-detecting autofocus (that keeps the focus sharp on people), and it adds the ability to shoot 4K/24p footage. All four of those spec bumps puts the M200 more in line with Canon’s M50, albeit with a more simplified physical interface.
Not much has changed about the look of the M200. It’s still small and has the same 24.1-megapixel APS-C sensor found in the M100. Similarly, this model also has a built-in flash, and its moveable screen can still be flipped…

Epilepsy: Seizures not forecastable as expected
Epileptic seizures can probably not be predicted by changes in brain wave patterns that were previously assumed to be characteristic precursors.
Light work for superconductors
For the first time researchers successfully used laser pulses to excite an iron-based compound into a superconducting state. This means it conducted electricity without resistance. The iron compound is a known superconductor at ultralow temperatures, but this method enables superconduction at higher temperatures. It is hoped this kind of research could greatly improve power efficiency in electrical equipment and electronic devices.
