Learning a skill is one thing, learning it from someone with demonstrable, experiential success in that area is another. When I scrolled through the course offerings, I couldn’t help fangirling: “They’re on MasterClass?” It was a learning experience to soak in the prerecorded words of some of my idols and jot down the wisdom they had to share. And it was less distracting than absorbing YouTube videos with tons of ads and recommendations scattered through the platform....

That’s where online storage comes in. There are two prominent options that you likely already have and don’t realize: iCloud and Google Photos. Both offer a wide selection of photo storage options, organization, sharing and uploads on the go. While they are similar in terms of functionality, there are aspects of each that set them apart. How do you know which service will ultimately be the best for your needs?...

The best thing about BitVault is it will boast some security feature that will make the entire device encrypted. BitVault will be entirely produced in India without a single Chinese component. The smartphone will be launched globally and will go on sale from November 2017. The phone was made jointly by Embedded Downloads, Ireland and VVDN Technologies, India. VVDN Technologies co-founder and vice-president told Times of India “We’re not calling it a mobile although it does make calls and is compatible with all existing service providers....

Instead of throwing in everything in a single pile, the Explore page now has genres like photography, animals, fashion, and more. These categories are present as huge tiles in a scrollable row at the top. There’s also a “For You” section which is essentially the old Explore page in a different tab. Below that, there are hashtags which have possibly allowed Instagram to curate this endless list of pictures and videos....

It was hoped that this measure would be really safe and would last for many years to be a break. The truth is that there are already companies that claim to have been able to break this new protection. One of the new features that the tech giant Apple put on iOS 12 and iOS 11.4 was protection against improper access to the data communication port. This is intended to protect users from unauthorized access tools....

The report further confirms that the feature will not be exclusive to the premier variants of the phone. Furthermore, the new features will warrant for higher production costs and as a result, the iPhone is expected to be relatively expensive. Also, the wireless charging will generate more heat and ward off the same Apple may have to use an extra layer of granite to protect the 3D Touch sensor. This sheet needs to be laminated internally to the heat sensing film sensor....

Reliance Jio aims to offer high-speed mobile Internet to the 90% of the Indians along with the free voice calls and messaging services.

Users can get the Jio sim for their smartphones from their nearest Digital store or Xpress Mini Store, which includes 3 months of unlimited Voice calls, SMS and Free Highspeed 4G DATA without any speed cap....

This gripping series has become the gold stard for tower defense on touch devices, so much so that it’s also the top target for knockoffs: Activision’s new Duck Commer: Duck Defense is a lame rehash inexplicably based on reality TV series Duck Dynasty. But ignore the clones, as Kingdom Rush Origins ($3) just launched to offer a proper fix— for newcomers, it’s as good a place as any to start....

There are so many benefits; it’s a safe bet that subscribers don’t know them all. Aside from free two-day shipping and movies, did you know that free books and free photo storage are also part of the deal? If that happens to you, there’s a little-known trick that can be super beneficial. First, under the Contact Us header, you’ll see, “What can we help you with?” Click on the “An order I placed” tab....

The new devices include the X1 Carbon 10th Gen, X1 Yoga 7th Gen and X1 Nano 2nd Gen. Key features of the new devices include a newly-designed communications bar that houses a superior quality lens and camera, as well as quad-array 360-degree far-field microphones. Lenovo has also added Dolby Voice with its latest noise-cancelling technology. “It almost goes without saying, but video conferencing software has limited value without the underlying hardware to provide good, noise-free, data streams – quality lenses, camera sensors and microphone hardware are all critical to a great remote experience,” Lenovo VP Jerry Paradise said in an email to ZDNet....

The South Korean electronics maker said its operating profit increased 25.1% year-on-year to 746.6 billion won. However, last year’s third quarter operating profit was already low as it reflected the 480 billion won it had to shoulder for General Motor’s recall cost. LG Electronics supplies the separators used in LG Energy Solution’s batteries used by the US car giant in their electric vehicles. LG Electronics said this meant that its third-quarter operating profit should be considered a decline caused by the global economic slowdown....

With Google officially releasing Android 9.0 Pie to AOSP and its Pixel devices last month, Android OEMs have also started working on bringing the update to their devices. Samsung, known for its notoriously slow update times, has also started working on bringing the Pie update to its current flagship handset, the Galaxy S9. The folks over at XDA have managed to get their hands on an early build of the firmware which gives us a glimpse at what’s in store with the Pie update for the S9....

Huawei is in the news for either all the wrong reasons — stealing tech secrets of U.S. companies, helping create backdoors in its products to aid the Chinese government spying activities — or for its impressive smartphones. After the Mate 20 Pro from last year, Huawei is back with an equally impressive Huawei P30 Pro which takes on Samsung’s equally excellent Galaxy S10 series. Huawei has managed to outdone Samsung in terms of the hardware and camera department with the P30 Pro but does that make it a better phone than the Galaxy S10....

I thought I’d do the same to describe the horror movie that was the company’s last week. Ominous. Psychological. Drama. Netflix admitted it had lost 200,000 subscribers in the first quarter. It confessed it might try to squeeze money out of sneaky password-sharers. And, with a bowed head, it conceded it may introduce an ad-filled tier. Scary. Disaster. Emotional. Many might think this begins the demise of streaming. Some might discover irony in the idea that more traditional channels like HBO, NBC and CBS were disrupting Netflix by steaming toward streaming themselves....

Some of you will comment about the Big Brother aspects of allowing a global artificial intelligence to listen to everything I say. I counter by telling you I don’t ever say much that’s of particular interest to a global artificial intelligence. We find Alexa necessary in every room because we use it to set timers, set reminders, operate all our lights and thermostats, and intercom across the house. Plus, you never know when a math problem needs to be solved....

The Do Button app connects with various Internet services lets you set up basic comms that can be executed with a button press. For instance, you can create a button to log your work hours in Sheets, block out the next hour as “busy” in Calendar, or toggle a s Hue connected light bulb. You can even have a button that calls your phone to get out of a bad conversation....

In terms of design, the Infinix S4 features a 2.5D glossy glass finish on the back and a 6.21-inch HD+ display with a waterdrop notch, 19.5:9 aspect ratio, and 1520 × 720 pixels screen resolution.

So, the fruits of Intel and AMD’s unique partnership are finally here. According to Intel, these chips can be used in mini PCs, 2-in-1 PCs and thin and light notebook because it brings some benefits like heavyweight GPU and CPU performance in a lightweight form factor. Intel used its Embedded Multi-Die Interconnect Bridge technology (EMIB) in the chip to combine Intel’s Quad-core CPU, 4GB of dedicated HBM2, and Radeon RX Vega M graphics....

In short, you are doomed…except if you have a plan B…but never mind…you are doomed. The next step that the government will take is disaster control, if you had done something devastating, and also forensic procedures on the crime scene....

Well, it is back, darlings. And with a tie-up with Flipkart at that, and also talking of taking on all comers – of course it can, given its track record. There have been brave talks of taking on the likes of Xiaomi, and right now, they do not get bigger than that in the Indian phone market. There is, however, evidently a dark cloud to this silver lining. As per some of my sources, darlings, the current financial year represents the final throw of the mobile phone dice for Asus....
