iPhone XS has been successfully jailbroken by Pangu

The iPhone XS, available for purchase since last Friday, has been jailbrooded successfully

. The performance was done by Pangu, a team of hackers who proposed public jailbreaks in the past.



Each new iPhone has a new processor that, in addition to being powerful, wants to be more secure than the previous generation, which does not help to create a jailbreak. Here, Pangu has managed to circumvent the new restrictions put in place by Apple and have full access to the iPhone XS to install anything and everything, while this practice is not possible normally.

Will the public see this jailbreak? Generally, jailbreaks of new versions of iOS or new iPhone are more presentations than anything else. But the question of availability this time can really arise knowing that Pangu is behind all this and that the hacker team has already proposed jailbreaks in the past for iOS 8 and iOS 9.



To date, no information is published. We doubt anyway that the jailbreak as it exists today is not stable and is filled with bugs. This is normal after all, optimization is needed to correct the problems initially encountered.

Galaxy S10: a prototype promises a future borderless champion


Samsung Galaxy S10 could be launched in January 2019

Galaxy S10, future borderless champion? A photo of a smartphone prototype was shared by the Ice Universe leaker, which specializes in Samsung smartphone leaks. The next model in the S series could include a fingerprint sensor, a speaker and a photo sensor under the screen. Samsung Galaxy S10 could be unveiled by Samsung in January 2019.

Samsung Galaxy S10 should be a turning point for Samsung, which has the ambition to hit hard after a disappointing S9 which is too close to the S8 proposal. One of the special features of the Galaxy S10 should be the presence of a truly borderless screen . The new champion in the field is for now the Oppo Find X, just presented and having a screen ratio of 93.8%.

Samsung Galaxy S10: Samsung could bet on everything borderless

New element to reinforce this hypothesis, a supposed prototype of Samsung Galaxy S10 shared by Ice Universe, the famous leaker that regularly gives us information about the next Samsung smartphones to come out. We notice that the borders are really very thin and that the slab occupies almost all the available space. Of course, more than six months before its release, its design is not yet definitively stopped but this photo allows us to see what it could look like and towards which direction the Korean brand seems to be heading.

It will therefore have to find room for some elements of the smartphone. In late May 2018, Android Hits reported that Samsung Galaxy S10 would be equipped with a built-in piezoelectric speaker on the screen . Another piece of information that made us say that Samsung is moving towards a borderless solution without notch. Samsung Galaxy S10 should also finally offer a fingerprint sensor under the screen , a technology expected from the manufacturer since several models already and finally seems to arrive.

Samsung Galaxy S10 could be launched in January 2019

But what about photo modules? Samsung could try to hide them directly under the screen too, along with another sensor for 3D facial recognition. Samsung Galaxy S10 is expected at the turn: we expect the innovation from Samsung, who does not really take risks recently. The smartphone could be launched in January 2019 , to make room for Samsung Galaxy X at the MWC 2019.


New AMD processors with Vega graphics coming soon

AMD Ryzen, Ryzen APU, Radeon Vega AMD, Ryzen 3 2200GE, Ryzen 5 2400GE

Good, integrated graphics.

After the premiere of the new generation of second generation processors, AMD does not intend to fill pears in ash - new, low-voltage APU systems equipped with Ryzen processors and graphic systems from the Vega family go on sale .

Two new models are Ryzen 3 2200GE and Ryzen 5 2400GE , based on the basic, previously presented APU without the letter "E" in the name. These are actually the same models, although with a reduced energy demand, which may result in their more common use not only in laptops, but also in miniPC computers. TDP in this case drops from 65 to 35W, so it is a really significant difference.

Ryzen 3 2200GE is a quad-core system supporting four threads, the base frequency of 3.2 GHz (3.6 GHz in Turbo mode), with Vega 8 graphics clocked at 1100 MHz. Ryzen 5 2400GE is clocked in the same frequency, but offers the capabilities of a Vega 11 graphics chip with 1250 MHz clock speed. Interestingly, both of these systems will offer unlocked multipliers, which means that they are prone to overclocking.

AMD Will Prepare Security Updates For Processors

The processors will debut at really good prices - Ryzen 3 2200GE is expected to cost $ 100, while for Ryzena 5 2400GE we will pay $ 163. So it seems that these APUs can be a good base for creating cheap and offering good performance of computers, also based on a passive cooling system.

Apple less dependent on the iPhone X thanks to its wider range

Apple's range of products and services has widened to the point of making the group's results less dependent on the sales of its latest iPhone during the Christmas holidays, experts and analysts say.
Flagship products continue to be a huge part of the overall value of the group

Apple's range of products and services has widened to the point of making the group's results less dependent on the sales of its latest iPhone during the Christmas holidays, experts and analysts say.

The firm's action at the apple dropped 2.5% on Wall Street Tuesday, to 170.57 dollars, in reaction to an article in the Taiwanese press that it would only sell 30 million iPhone X on the current quarter instead of an initial target of $ 50 million.

The downward revision of Apple's forecast has not been confirmed and the stock has regained 0.28% on Wall Street Thursday after a session spread the day before.

Analysts continue to expect an average turnover of 86.2 billion dollars (72.2 billion euros) for the quarter ended December, in the upper half of the forecast of Apple is 84 -87 billion dollars.

In fact, the almost simultaneous release of two new phones in the fall - the iPhone 8 in October and the iPhone X in November - and the continued commercialization of older devices have made Apple less dependent on its newest, observes Ross Gerber, a California manager with Apple stocks in his portfolio.

The higher price of the iPhone X, sold from $ 999 in the United States, and higher margins tempers concerns about the level of sales, he says.


"We knew that Apple was evolving its strategy this quarter by launching two phones (...) and I think their cumulative sales will be in line with expectations," said the manager, CEO of Gerber Kawasaki Wealth and Investment Management. Santa Monica, California.

Apple has also expanded its portfolio of accessories and other products such as its AirPods wireless headsets or the latest version of the Apple Watch.

None of them scored individually, but they collectively make a significant contribution to Apple's results, with the "other products" segment seeing sales increase 16% to $ 12.8 billion last year. Customers who buy these accessories are also numerous to go to the App Store or listen to music on Apple Music, the two pillars of the "services" segment whose turnover has increased by 23% to 29.9 billion dollars last year.

"In the long run, this multi-device and multi-service strategy will generate additional growth," predicts Carolina Milanesi, an analyst at Creative Strategies.

However, the sales of the iPhone X will remain closely watched because this device, revolutionary with its facial recognition technology, generates almost twice as much turnover as an iPhone 7.

"Flagship products continue to be a huge part of the overall value of the group," says Bob O'Donnell at TECHnalysis Research. "It remains to be seen if this will still be the case this time."

The value of network signal strength in smartphones may disappear with Android P

It seems that Google has communicated with mobile operators, and in Android P (9.0) will introduce a rather controversial change. It is about turning off the option of showing the signal strength of the network.


It seems that Google has communicated with mobile operators, and in Android P (9.0) will introduce a rather controversial change. It is about turning off the option of showing the signal strength of the network.
A group of people with XDA Developers found an intriguing change in the Android Open Source Project software, most likely enforced by a small group of American mobile operators. It's about a modification that in smartphones of selected operators in Android P (9.0) will allow you to hide the signal strength values. How does it work now?
The value of the network signal power is shown in the settings of each Android smartphone (Settings -> About phone -> Information about the phone (Status) -> SIM card status) and is expressed in dBM. dBm is the logarithmic unit of measure of power related to the power of 1 mW. The power expressed in dBm informs about how much decibel this power is greater (or lower) than the power of 1 mW. For example: -100 dBM is a signal weaker than -77 dBM. This is illustrated by the graph below, on which you can see how many "bars" of the signal power illustrate a given signal strength range.
It seems that Google has communicated with mobile operators, and in Android P (9.0) will introduce a rather controversial change. It is about turning off the option of showing the signal strength of the network.

Most of you do not even pay attention to the signal strength, but it is a pretty good indicator of how the quality of connection with different networks on the same device looks like in different places. Alternatively, it gives a good view of the connection quality offered by different devices in the same place, using one SIM card. Why would the network operators want to hide this parameter? Here you can speculate forever.
The easiest way would probably be to assume that operators want to hide the signal strength due to shortcomings in their infrastructure. An uninformed user is in the end a user submitting fewer complaints about the service. In fact, no other rational explanation comes to my mind, and you?
Interestingly, the people responsible for finding changes informed that the programs enabling the measurement of the connection quality will continue to work properly, despite the introduced change. The signal strength will not be visible in the settings menu and can potentially be removed from the upper notification bar, but selected applications can still use the API and "pull" this information on top. The question is whether this function will not be blocked soon.

Google Chrome without ads. New settings from February 15

In February 2018, Google will allow default ad blocking in the Chrome browser. For now, this tool will allow you to turn off only the most annoying creations. This, however, can change.
In 2018, browser users will be able to disable, among others pop-up windows.

In 2018, browser users will be able to disable, among others pop-up windows. (East News)


According to Google, the company will introduce new facilities next year, in the interest of the user.
The new functionality will allow default blocking of ads in the Chrome browser - not all of them yet, only the most aggressive and invasive for Internet users.
Invasive ads include those that do not meet the requirements of the Coalition for Better Ads initiative.
What will really change? Quite a lot for both users and publishers. Google approaches invasive advertising quite restrictively. If at least one of your ads is found to be annoying and obstructing your users, all promotional ads on your site will be blocked.
Publishers will have time to react. If one of the ads on their site is found to be non-compliant with Coalition for Better Ads, they will be able to remove it or adjust to the appropriate standards.

 HOW TO MAXIMIZE BATTERY PERFORMANCE

The battery life is how long your device can work before needing to be recharged. What is known as "battery life" is the total life of your battery before you need to replace it. One factor that affects battery life and battery life is all the things you do with your device. No matter how you use it, you can make improvements. The life of a battery is a function of its "chemical age", which is more than just the passage of time. It brings together different factors, such as the number of charge cycles and maintenance that the battery has received. Follow these tips to maximize battery performance and extend its useful life.

YouTube deletes more than 150,000 children's videos


YouTube deletes more than 150,000 children's videos

YouTube  has erased tens of thousands of children's videos that were accompanied by very inappropriate comments, even pedophile, said Thursday the platform that tries to reassure its advertisers.

Everything started with an article published last Friday in the British newspaper The Times claiming that ads for major brands (Adidas, Amazon or Mars in particular) appeared on YouTube alongside videos of children or teenagers, most often innocently published by those concerned but arousing pedophile comments from users.

According to other media, several advertisers have decided to stop placing ads on YouTube for this reason. The American computer group HP has confirmed to AFP "have immediately asked Google to suspend all advertising on YouTube."

When asked, YouTube said it had "removed several hundred accounts and more than 150,000 videos" that were problematic. The platform owned by Google, whose digital advertising represents the bulk of revenue, also banned advertising on "over 2 million videos and 50,000 channels that were family content but were not." The company also blocked "comments for 625,000 videos".

"We have clear policies against videos and comments on YouTube that sexualize or exploit children, and we apply them drastically every time we are alerted to such content," said a spokesperson for YouTube.

Not the first time

The site claims to have "recently strengthened (its) approach to videos and comments featuring children who, although they would not be illegal, remain concerned".
Asked whether the platform was being boycotted by some advertisers, the spokesman simply replied that "no advertising should be broadcast on this content and we are working to remedy this situation as soon as possible".

This is the second time this year that YouTube is facing this type of controversy. An article in the Times already said in the spring that ads were placed close to anti-Semitic content, inciting hatred or apologizing for terrorism.

Google then promised that it would ensure that the ads of its advertisers are not placed near polemical content.

The British subsidiary of Havas, the HSBC or the BBC and even the British government, among others, later joined in the United States by AT & T or Verizon, had decided to suspend their advertising on several Google platforms, including YouTube.

Qwant : A new European search engine in pursuit of Google

Qwant: Discreetly put on the end of March, Xaphir, which aims to break out of the "top 5 global engines in 2020".


Qwant, another French search engine


Almost twenty years after the birth of Google , in 1998, there are still brave to want to compete with the giant of Silicon Valley. After Qwant, another French search engine, dubbed Qwant , was quietly put online at the end of March. "Google and its alternatives, Baidu, Bing or Yandex use PageRank, which is to go up the most popular pages. The user is locked in a bubble of knowledge that prevents him, for example, from seeing that Arsenal is not just a football club , " says Eric Mathieu, its founding CEO.


Qwant : A new European search engine in pursuit of Google


Xaphir is the contraction of the letter "x" which refers to the unknown in mathematics and sapphire, the precious stone, but also the name of a book of knowledge which, according to "a very ancient legend", was given to the men by the Lord, says the contractor. This engine of a new kind intends to open to the Internet the doors of the world by offering, for each of its requests, very diverse research results.

"Qwant : A humanist engine"

The user types a keyword and then  based on the answers  adds or removes in the search box some of the results that appear, be they web pages, images or videos . "We wanted to get out of the search by keywords. Our engine allows to combine "n" documents in "n" dimensions. We will then add the voice, the geographical coordinates, etc. " Says Eric Mathieu, who presents Xaphir as " a humanist engine " , whose goal is " to offer impartiality diversity and universality " .

The ambitions are great. Eric Mathieu dreams of hoisting Xaphir in "the top 5 global engines in 2020". How? Thanks to the "virality", this famous word-of-mouth of the Web. And remember that two decades ago, Google had swept installed engines like Altavista. With the difference that, the Web has become democratized, the clothes of Internet users are well anchored and that Xaphir has a long way before him before convincing the general public.

Qwant string of competitors

The bugs remain numerous, the results sometimes disarming, and the number of responses insufficient. "We started to aspire to the European Web just two or three months ago." We learn by walking, "modestly admits the entrepreneur, who made his weapons in music and video games before creating Xaphir.

It must be thought that it would take a long time: seven years of research and development were necessary. "I thought it would take three or four years," said one million euros, including various public devices (loans, grants, repayable advances and research tax credit) to fund his project.

In the meantime, search engines have seen a host of competitors emerge. Like mobile applications, social networks like Twitter or Facebook, or artificial intelligence based on questions in natural language, on which Amazon and Google.
