Samsung Note 9 Possible Have 5G Network


The tariff operators plan to launch a 5G network coverage. Possibly in the near future, the 5G network is starting to become the new standard that will replace the current 4G LTE network in mobile phones.

Only the next problem relates to the availability of 5G mobile phone. Because not many mobile phones use the network.

For those looking for 5G phones, may be interested in reports that Samsung could bring this network support to the Galaxy Note 9. Report claims Samsung will switch to the use of the HRC antenna instead of using LDS.

As quoted from Ubergizmo, Saturday (24/3), the Korean company is increasingly showing interest in the 5G network. Samsung has even just shown a 5G table prototype.

In addition, according to rumors spread, Samsung 5G modem for Exynos chipset is expected to arrive in 2019. It could be a consideration whether to replace a new phone or wait and see if the rumor is true.

Data Management with Open Source

Hadoop big name can not be underestimated in the development of open source software technology in the world. Open source is a prima donna for some circles, including in Indonesia. Doug Cutting as the founder of Hadoop has seen the popularity of open source software for a long time.

"I think, Hadoop will not only be popular as software but also open source," said Doug, met Republika in an Exclusive Media Interview with Cloudera in Jakarta, some time ago. Open Source or open source is superior because it has some appeal, one of which is cost efficiency.

Doug reveals, Hadoop excel in performing data management. Like how open source works in general, Hadoop is a system developed for the cooperation of its users in utilizing the source code (source code). The availability of open source is quite free, and uses the internet facility to run it.

Hadoop is far superior because it continues to innovate and develop engines in the use of open source. This year, the use of machine learning or learning machine will become the trend of open source in doing management and data processing. Hadoop has already begun to implement the technology.

"The more wearing, the machine's intelligence will certainly be greater and increased," Doug said. Before getting the contribution of learning machines, open source is considered superior. Hadoop's fame is evident when open source is much favored. When open source gets learner engine support, the data collaboration will be much greater so that the analysis is much more accurate.

Here's the "Powerbank" Criteria That Can Be Carryed In Aircraft

In the current era of wasteful power gadgets, self-contained or portable battery charger aka powerbank become a must-have accessory everywhere, including when traveling by plane.

Regarding this, there are restrictions on what powerbank criteria may be brought into the cabin of the aircraft in terms of capacity. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) rules assert that the maximum rating of bank power that is allowed into the cabin is 160 Wh (watt-hour).

Indonesian airlines also use the provisions of the IATA as a reference. The provision is confirmed by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation of the Ministry of Transportation in a written statement on aviation safety published in early March 2018.

In the description explained that powerbank with a rating below 100 Wh can be carried in the trunk of the cabin. Meanwhile, powerbank with 100 Wh s.d. 160 Wh must go through the approval of the airline concerned. The powerbank with a rating of more than 160 Wh is absolutely prohibited to be taken in flight, as summarized KompasTekno from the website of the Directorate General of Civil Aviation Kemenhub on Thursday (8/3/2018).

"Wireless Charging" Make iPhone Batteries "Leaking"?

One of the new features (for iPhone) presented by iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X is the ability of wireless battery charging, aka wireless charging. Although practical because it can charge the device without the battery must be connected to the cable, wireless charging may bring bad effects to the iPhone battery.

This was revealed by an owner of the iPhone 8 Plus named Adrian Kingsley-Hughes who suspected that the performance of the phone is getting more and more decreased after he started using a wireless charger. Adrian then installed the CoconutBattery app to monitor his iPhone 8 Plus recharge cyle.

Recharge cycle is the battery charging cycle from 0 to 100 percent and valid cumulative. For example, users use 75 percent of the phone's battery up to 25 percent left, then fill up to 100 percent the night. If the next day the battery is used 25 percent, it will be counted as one charging cycle.

The iPhone battery is designed to be capable of saving 80 percent of its initial capacity in 500 times the recharge cycle, typically achieved within 2 to 3 years. However, from CoconutBattery, Adrian learned that his iPhone 8 Plus has undergone 135 recharge cycles in less than 6 months.

Counting 'Wh' Powerbank Tips Allowed to Enter the Aircraft

Ministry of Transportation (Kemenhub) some time ago announced a new regulation related luggage in the form of power bank into the cabin aircraft. In a circular that has a date of March 9, 2018, Kemenhub set the amount of powerbank that can be brought into the cabin, which is 160Wh.

Actually, the rating from Wh which has been determined by Kemenhub is at the back of the power bank device. But not infrequently also the power bank producers do not list how big Wh is in their device.

On this occasion, Okezone helps you to find out if your power bank can be taken up into the cabin of an airplane or not. How to calculate it is quite easy.

First of all, find out how much mAh is from your powerbank. For example, a powerbank with a battery capacity of 10,000 mAh.

After that, look for the voltage rating of your powerbank. Typically, a powerbank is present in a voltage rating of 3.8V or 5V. Suppose that your powerbank shows a 5V rating.

After getting this data, you just put it in the formula. However, before entering the formula, we must first convert the mAh unit to Ah, by dividing it by 1,000 (from Mega Ampere to Ampere).

Kickstarter Create Accessory Change Digital Camera to Analog

While many photographers are praising the virtues of analogue and movies, they are able to produce 'warmer' images and have certain tones or nuances that digital can not be imitated. So it's hard to ignore some of the drawbacks in shooting with movies.

One is the inability to check photos after taking them. You should spend some time and spend money developing movies. In addition, storage capacity is also low.

However, the Kickstarter campaign for an accessory called 'I'm Back' has been launched. This tool is for your analog SLR camera that will turn it into a hybrid digital camera.

This accessory comes with a 2-inch touchscreen and also provides analogue WiFi camera capabilities, to allow users to transfer photos. I'm Back is also equipped with Panasonic 16MP sensor and image processor Novatek 96660. Basically it's kind of 'hijack' the analog camera to take advantage of the lens, while the shots taken to digital.

Latest Research: Mobile Phone Not Killing Man

Based on the results of research National Toxicology Program (NTP) United States, shows that the use of mobile phones in the long term will not kill humans directly. The conclusion of this research titled "Cell Phones and Cancer Risk" is related to cell phone radiation that triggers cancer cells. NTP explains, exposure to radiofrequency energy generated mobile phone, is a form of non-ionization radiation.

Unlike ionizing radiation, radio frequency does not cause DNA damage that can cause cancer. Non-ionization radiation consistently causes biological effects, ie, increase in temperature in the tissues. Therefore, the network adjacent to the mobile antenna will absorb radiofrequency energy. NTP used mice in radiofrequency radiation exposure (RFR) experiments, which were divided into two groups, those exposed to RFR and those not. The result, both groups of mice have the same health. Several mice exposed to high-dose RFRs were able to survive longer and others die faster.

There is no consistent evidence currently showing an increased risk of non-ionizing cancer ", explains senior NTP researcher Dr. John Bucher.

No consistent evidence The study, published in the National Cancer Institute's official website, also included several previous studies from different researchers.

How Long a "Good Life Period" Apple Gadget?

The gadget owners typically use the device for some time, before being retired and replaced by buying a new model. For gadgets made by Apple sorts iPhone, iPad, and Watch, how long is it worth the average life? To find answers to these questions, industry analyst from Asymco, Horace Dediu reviewed the number of active and "retired" Apple devices.

Dediu reveals the number of Apple devices that are active and used by the owner, as many as 1.3 billion units, as revealed by Apple in its latest financial statements. Apple cumulative gadget sales amounted to 2.05 units, then reduced the number of active gadgets. The result, it was found that 750 million Apple devices have been retired by the owner so far.

"Cumulative device sales totaled 750 million units in the third quarter of 2013. Therefore, the life span is estimated between now and the third quarter of 2013 or 17 quarters, or 4 years and three months," Dediu wrote in the report.

In other words, four years and three months is the average lifetime of Apple devices by the owner. Thereafter, the device tends to be retired, whether sold, discarded, or stored away, to be replaced with a new device.

However, as compiled by KompasTekno from Apple Insider, Monday (5/3/2018), Dediu findings apply to all Apple devices as a whole, including iPhone, iPad, watch Watch and Mac computers. Breakdown numbers per device can not be searched, because Apple does not disclose the sales of each device category in detail.

WhatsApp Will Mark a Forwarded Message

E-mail forwarded to another address is usually marked with the "FW" or "FWD" tags in front of the subject. Unlike the case in the instant messaging app, it makes no difference between the messages themselves and messages that are forwarded from others.

WhatsApp seems to be planning to change this state by marking the messages that users receive, then forwarding them to friends in the contact list. A leak that circulated this week indicates that the marker is a "forwarded message" message above the sent message field.

The marker is encountered in the WhatsApp Android app beta version tested by WABetainfo. But for what also WhatsApp memandai message forwarded

The goal is allegedly associated with efforts to prevent spam messages (garbage). Message types that are usually long and may contain misinformation are passed on a chain from one user to another, and so on.

One example that is often circulated for example, a message that asks users forward it to 10 friends or more, if you do not want to be asked for a subscription fee by WhatsApp. In fact, WhatsApp never spread related messages. Well, by marking a forwarded message, WhatsApp probably hopes users can quickly identify, if a message is likely to be a spam that has been forwarded many times in a chain.
