Five Bluetooth Myths that Are Still Trusted

Bluetooth is one of the preferred technologies for connecting two devices wirelessly. Over the years, the development of Bluetooth has become better. However, unfortunately some old school myths about Bluetooth still survive.

Quoted in Make Use Of, Bluetooth is now different from last year's Bluetooth. Here are the most common misconceptions that people still believe.

Enabling Bluetooth consumes the battery

At the beginning of the development of smartphones, yes, activating Bluetooth can cause a decrease in your battery life. That's because once the connection is active, Bluetooth will actively search for devices to pair at any time.

But now you don't need to worry about that. With the new Bluetooth standard starting with version 4 and so on, there is something called the Low Energy (LE) module. The LE module uses various technologies to search for Bluetooth devices around you without using the same power as previous versions of Bluetooth.

Likewise after a connection is made, the LE device will not draw large power when data is not transferred. For example, if you have connected your smartphone with a pair of Bluetooth headphones, it will not use power when you are not playing songs.

Beware of the Impact of Fast Charging on Cellphones

Cellphone users who work a lot outdoors may feel very helped by fast charging technology that is now commonly found on large power phones.

So why is fast charging turned off?

Laman Phone Arena explains, charging a battery with fast charging does not immediately damage the cellphone, for example the cellphone becomes hot and then explodes. The impact of fast charging to the battery may be felt for a long time.

When charging with fast charging, the power needed to deliver electricity to the device is enlarged so that the charging time can be reduced. In the long run it will affect the cellphone hardware.

Moreover, if charging is done while playing games or applications, or the mobile is placed in a high-temperature room. In addition, there are also cellphone users who are accustomed to charging cellphones overnight because they are asleep, so maybe the fast charging feature is turned off if it is not needed.

Check cellphone settings

Some cellphone manufacturers provide fast charging features to be turned on or off. Usually, they put these settings in the "Battery" menu, then look for the "fast charging", "quick charge" or name chosen by each manufacturer for fast chargers.

Various opinions have emerged that this method will damage the cellphone. Some say that this method has no effect on cellphone damage. Then how is the truth? Is it safe to plug in a cellphone at an overnight charger for cellphones?

Shane Broesky, founder of Farbe Technik, the company that makes chargers and cellphone accessories said, "Keeping the phone plugged in overnight is nothing to do, it won't drastically endanger the device". As quoted from digitaltrends, Monday (10/12).

The 'Like' button on Twitter will be deleted, why

Twitter is reported to be eliminating the buttons like heart shaped cuitan. It aims to improve the "quality of debate" on the microblog platform.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey stated this at an event, revealing himself "not a keynote enthusiast" and would delete it.

Reported by Antara from Phone Arena, quoting the Telegraph, a heart-shaped button has been used since 2015, replacing the favorite star-shaped features that function the same, to like the tweet on Twitter.

The plan to delete this like button seems to have received a response that is not positive because liking activities are one of the functions on any social media.

Twitter has its own consideration of plans to remove the "like" button, which they consider to be the main cause of social media dependence on its users.

The "like" button is considered a symbol of recognition from others, social media users who are already dependent will delete uploads if they don't get a lot of "likes".

The decision is very important for automakers and telecommunications operators and equipment makers because the internet-connected car market is expected to make billions of euros per year of money.

Currently, several connected car models are available in Europe. Policy makers in Blue Continent rushed to make rules that encourage cooperation between producers to produce safer and more efficient cars through these regulations.

The presence of legal protection and technical specifications that become standard on 5G connected cars not only benefits manufacturers, but also convinces consumers to buy the new technology vehicle.

Could it be that traffic lights are no longer needed

Could it be that traffic lights are no longer needed in the future? May be. This became a new idea from Ford as part of a program funded by the South British government. Launched through Autoblog, Ford is developing vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) navigation concept technology.

This technology will make the car will not collide or stop completely. Ford shows the Priority Management Intersection concept along Milton Keynes Road, which is about 55 miles northwest of London. Ford assured the concept of an 'intelligent crossing', where the car can pass through the intersection safely without having to stop.

However, this technology is still limited between one Ford vehicle technology and another in reading the location of each car. V2V technology is able to read the direction of travel and the speed of the car so that it will suggest the maximum rate so as not to collide with other vehicles at the intersection. Cars also don't need to stop completely when they get traffic lights.

This experiment uses a car with a driver behind the wheel. This application is intended for autonomous vehicles. Later, technology will make road users no longer have to be stuck in traffic lights. Because, based on data drivers in the United States (US) spend 59 hours per year waiting for traffic lights.

Google Chrome Warns Users to Prevent Harmful Sites

Google Chrome can be said to be the most popular internet software today. The browser competes with Firefox and Microsoft Edge for monthly users.

The latest version of Google Chrome, 70, is expected to be released on October 16 and will give a warning to websites that are believed to be unsafe by the browser.

Earlier in May, the technology company outlined its plan to mark the HTTP website as "unsafe". The decision is part of Google's initiative to move the site to HTTPS format.

HTTPS is an encryption standard that provides safer connections between users and online pages, as revealed by Express on Sunday (10/14/2018).

The current Chrome version, 69, has marked web pages using the HTTPS format with keys to show that they are trusted.

However, Chrome 70 will better distinguish between HTTPS and HTTP by labeling the latter as "unsafe" next to the page URL.
