WhatsApp Prepare the Recognize Spam Feature

WhatsApp is reportedly preparing a feature that if activated will be able to detect information about chain messages, helping users recognize whether the message is classified as spam or fake news. The WABetaInfo page writes in the messaging application version 2.19.80, WhatsApp includes a feature called "Forwarding Info" in the Message Info section.

If the user clicks on the message they sent to another user, he will be able to see whether the message has arrived and has been read by the other person, the feature that already exists today. If the user gets a chain message and wants to know how many times the message has been sent, resend the message then click and hold the message we sent to open Message Info.

This new feature will show how many times the message has been sent, according to WABetaInfo. This feature is expected to be available in beta in the near future.

A message is classified as "often re-sent" if sent more than four times. WhatsApp in the latest version will give a slightly bigger bubble to the messages that are often forwarded.

Android Q Has an iPhone-like Navigation System

On Android 9 Pie, Google introduced a new navigation system that offers improvements in terms of gestures. In the latest version of Android, this operating system will look more like what is on an iPhone.

Reported by Slashgear, Monday (03/18/2019), adoption of gesture-based navigation on Android can be accepted by the user or vice versa. On the one hand, he discards one of the Android features and requires a little thumb training to use.

However, the biggest attraction is making it easier to operate with only one hand. It can also form habits if done correctly.

In the Android Pie version, some users might find a problem. Some find that the movement itself is difficult to use while others find the animation to be rude and uninteresting.

Some hidden developer options on Android Q suggest that Google handle this case. Activating those options will make Android Q behave almost like an iPhone.

Android Q Have a New Sound Effect when Phone Calls End

Google continues to update the Android mobile operating system to the latest version. At present, the company is preparing for the emergence of Android Q which presents a number of new features.

Reported by Androidpolice, Sunday (03/17/2019), Android Q has many major changes, but also has small changes that require time to be noticed.

Even though telephone calls currently seem to be rarely used, Google seems to keep paying attention to the service through embedding new sound effects at the end of the conversation on Android Q.

With this update, there will be no more loud beeps when you end the telephone call. Later, the user will be able to hear a more subtle two-tone sound effect.

Most manufacturers will probably continue to use their own sound effects, so this change is mainly for Pixel owners.

For those of you who have to take calls every day, this might be a better improvement.

4 Ways to Protect Your Fingerprint Sensor to be More Durable

Smartphone technology is currently growing. In the past, you can only enter a PIN or pattern code to unlock a locked cellphone. Now users can easily do this with a fingerprint that makes the phone automatically open.

Even now the fingerprint is not only behind the cellphone, there is something on the side and on the screen. This time Okezone will also provide some tips for you to be able to treat the fingerprint, as reported by various sources.

1. Don't use it when wet hands

When you first register your finger make sure your hand is not wet, and so on every time you operate the fingerprint. As is known, electronic goods are vulnerable to damage when exposed to water.

Moreover, when it is raining, it is recommended not to use a cellphone because it will affect the fingerprint. This can make the fingerprint lose its function or consultation.

2. Don't Register Many Fingers

As is known, fingerprint in mobile phones can support multiple fingers to access cellphones. However, this is not recommended.

Get ready, Whatsapp will Block the Modified Version Application

The electronic messaging application for smartphones, WhatsApp, starts to show its fangs on applications like Whatsapp Plus and GB Whatsapp. The party account that uses the third-party version of Whatsapp is likely to be temporarily blocked by the Facebook-developed platform.

In the FAQ, Whatsapp says that every party using a modified version of the application will receive a notification that their account has been temporarily banned. The reason is actually simple. WhatsApp warns of fake applications not guaranteed security.

"Whatsapp does not support these third-party applications because we cannot validate their security practices," the company statement said, quoted by the Cnet page on Tuesday.

It is not clear when Whatsapp began to ban the use of the modified application. However, Twitter users and Reddit have started talking about this since last week. Until now, Whatsapp has not immediately responded to a comment request.

Reportedly, fake application accounts are not permanently blocked. Users only need to switch back to the main Whatsapp application. If you are still using third-party applications, make sure to back up the chat first if anyone wants to be saved or documented before the application is blocked by Whatsapp.

Whatsapp Messenger is a cross platform messaging application that allows users to exchange messages without SMS fees because Whatsapp Messenger uses the same internet data package for email, internet browsing and more.

The Android Q Beta program involves more mobile phones

The Android Q Beta program will reportedly involve more cellphones than before. In the past, developer previews for the next Android release were restricted to Google Nexus devices.

Reported by Slashgear, Monday (03/11/2019), although there is an exclusive period for Pixel and Nexus phones that are still being supported, Google has started the beta testing phase for seven OEMs last year. This year, it seems that more cellphones will accept the program.

With the number of cellphones for the Android Q Beta program, it is expected to reduce the waiting time for OEMs to launch Android Q to cellphones by the end of this year.

That is a step that is unprecedented and definitely welcomed by Google. At Google I / O last year, not only announced the start of Android P beta testing, it also announced that seven OEM cellphones officially got it too. The list includes Essential PH-1, Nokia 7 Plus, OnePlus 6, OPPO R15 Pro, Sony Xperia XZ2, Vivo X21, and Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S.

Apple Will Launch AR Devices in 2020

Apple is rumored to be launching its first augmented reality (AR) glasses in 2020. According to product analysts, Apple's Ming Cho Kuo AR glasses have indeed been reported several times.

Quoted from the Ilounge page, Sunday (03/10/2019) Kuo predicts if the device will be mass produced after September 2018, it will be no more than mid next year.

AR glasses are thought to be iPhone accessories, not stand alone devices. In other words, it will function as a display, handle computing, network, and position of the iPhone. AR glasses may be connected wirelessly to the iPhone.

At present there is no fast-growing market for AR or VR glasses that are compatible with the iPhone. So this plan seems to allow Apple to dominate the market.

Dash Text Integrate WhatsApp and Telegram

Dash Text, a popular service that allows individuals to send crypto currencies via SMS text, is now testing the WhatsApp application that is integrated with Telegram. Venezuela-based Dash Text invites the audience who want to participate in the trial to join.

Telegram is the second most popular messaging platform in Venezuela after WhatsApp. They now receive WhatsApp's Telegram integration beta application. However, the participants are still limited because the new application is available in Spanish.

Lorenzo Rey from Dash Text, in the Dash News report acknowledged that many individuals, especially outside Venezuela, were using alternative platforms. WhatsApp Telegram integration allows customers to send money to each other, even if their cellphone's memory is not supported by cellular wallet simple payment verification (SPV).

"Yes, the main demand is sending money to Venezuela, which is why we are thinking of integrating popular chat applications," Rey said.

Last year, Venezuela made international news because of its extreme hyperinflation and now made more news to close its borders with Brazil and possibly do the same with Colombia.

5 Tips to Reduce Light Pollution, Anything

Photopollution or light pollution is one of the bad effects on natural ecosystems. However, this danger can also be reduced by increasing lighting practices to provide nighttime visibility and security.

Here are a few simple tips to help reduce light pollution without sacrificing comfort or safety of the community, as reported by the Dalmarfans website on Wednesday (03/06/2019).

1. Use CFL Lights

Use compact fluorescent lights (CFL) and LED lights that produce warm white lighting. Many LED lights emit blue light with short wavelengths that spread easily into the atmosphere, which causes eye fatigue, damages night vision and adds light pollution.

2. Protect the Lamp

Choose shielded outdoor lighting, meaning there is a solid lid on a light bulb that prevents light from being transmitted directly into the sky. This is to minimize sky pollution and can protect existing equipment by buying and installing affordable colors.

5 New Features That Will Be Present on WhatsApp, Anything

WhatsApp is known to diligently introduce its new features on a regular basis. However, not all of them immediately slid away. Before WhatsApp launches a new feature, the feature is tested in beta by the developer to find bugs and fix them.

Tips on Hide Your WhatsApp Profile Photos

WhatsApp seems to be a mandatory application for smart phone users. With WhatsApp, someone can send text messages or send various content such as photos or videos.

WhatsApp can be relied upon to communicate quickly and easily. Sometimes other people can send messages to you, even though you don't know who sent the message.

Sometimes you also want to hide your profile photo so it's not known by others. Here's how to hide WhatsApp profile photos.

Immerse the Wide Angle to Answer Consumer Needs

Shooting through a smartphone is easier and more concise than having to carry a heavier camera. With the increasing trend of selfies and selfie photos, cellphone vendors are competing to offer supporting features.

Last year smartphone manufacturers crowded the bokeh feature on a cellphone camera. Now the camera is enriched with a wide angle lens. Wide angle allows taking photos with wider coverage than ordinary lenses. As a result, group photos become a necessity because more people can enter the frame.

General Manager for Brand and Activation of PT Vivo Mobile Indonesia Edy Kusuma said the camera features of the cellphone including wide angle were present to answer consumer needs. "The smartphone industry is fast developing. Mobile phones are now not only mere communication tools but also for mobile photography," he explained when met on Wednesday (26/2).

According to Edy, Vivo buried various features on the camera of the cell phone based on research. One of them is the hobby of smart mobile users showing their existence on social media through photo uploads. Therefore, wide angle is considered to be able to accommodate the wishes of users who like wefie and posted to social media.

Google Starts Leave Passwords for Android

Google and Fast Identity Online Alliance have launched the FIDO2 certification for Android at Mobile World Congress 2019 in Barcelona, ​​Spain. This means that Android devices simply use fingerprints or security keys as passwords.

As reported on the Cnet page, this security key can be run on Android versions 7 and higher, most of which are on the market. Actually, the fingerprint facility for security locks as passwords is already available in several applications on Android, especially for banking and other financial services. This change opens a security feature for Android that allows to log in without a password on the browser and operating system mobile applications.

Previous passwords were created in the digital world to allow access to accounts that manage finance, social life and more. The problem is, passwords are very vulnerable to hacking and are used for irresponsible things.

Passwords are even more ineffective if used for many accounts. A sophisticated computer can now easily track complicated passwords even within hours by entering every possible combination.

Exhibited at MWC 2019, Microsoft HoloLens 2 is priced at Rp.49 million

Microsoft created the latest device, HoloLens 2. The device is priced at USD3,500 or approximately Rp.49 million, dubbed 'mixed reality' by Microsoft, where users can see the real world with the insertion of digital objects.

Reported by Cnet, Monday (02/25/2019), imagine an arrow pointing at you when you walk, or repair instructions float on the engine when you repair. That is mixed reality, promised by Microsoft.

Microsoft, the software giant indeed became a pioneer in the world of augmented reality when they debuted with their first headset in 2015. At that time, the device was priced at USD 5,000, then rival devices appeared like Magic Leap for USD 2,295.

With this price, MR headsets are more expensive than VR technology currently on the market. For example, Oculus Rift Facebook is priced at USD349, HTC Vive with USD499 and Sony PlayStation VR with USD299. You have to buy a computer or PlayStation 4 to support this VR device.

Microsoft continues to design better headsets as part of its drive into the world of AR. The company says HoloLens is still not ready for home users. Instead, Microsoft focuses on companies and the military.

At MWC Barcelona, ​​the company also introduced this sophisticated device.

Super Fast, 5G Modem Qualcomm Can Download Up to 7 Gbps

Even before 5G phones appeared on the market, Qualcomm had twice released a 5G modem. Modem named Snapdragon X55 5G has download speeds of up to 7 Gbps.

In a press release released on Tuesday (02/19/2019) ahead of Mobile World Congress 2019, Qualcomm Inc. announced the second generation 5G New Radio modem.

Snapdragon X55 is a 7 nanometer chip component capable of operating in 2G technology up to 5G. This chip supports the 5G NR mmWave technology in the radio wave spectrum at that 6 GHz.

The top download speed of Qualcomm's latest 5G modem reaches 6 Gbps with upload speeds of 3 Gbps peaks on 5G networks. On LTE or 4G networks, download speed and upload Snapdragon X55 is 2 Gbps. Qualcomm also ensures that their 5G modems can operate with TDD and FDD technology.

"We believe our 5G platform will accelerate the momentum of the commercialization of 5G technology and will be a major component in the 5G launch in 2019," Qualcomm President Cristiano Amon said.

Qualcomm added that Snapdragon X55 is designed for all types of mobile devices including premium smart phones, mobile hotspot devices, mobile PCs, laptops, tablets, VR / AR devices, and automotive.

Facebook Marks People Who Often Send Threats

Facebook is a social media platform that has complete data belonging to billions of users. This information is also used to track individuals who are considered a threat to the company or its executives.

This information is known to CNBC after talking to several former employees of the company. Facebook has individual records that the security team marks as threats.

Reported on CNBC, the list contains hundreds of names and reasons for an individual written in it. In fact, someone who insulted the Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, was also included in the list.

Facebook spokesman Anthony Harrison said the list used by the security team was to guard Facebook employees. "They are assessing and overcoming the threat of violence if necessary given to law enforcement," Harrison said, reported by Gizmodo, Saturday (16/2).

The information that Facebook has is said to be very accurate and complete. In fact, Facebook can also monitor the location of the person with high accuracy.

"We use the information we have to verify accounts and activities, overcome malicious behavior, detect and prevent junk uploads. We maintain the integrity of our products and promote safety and security inside and outside of Facebook," he added.

Instagram Users Immediately Taste DM Features on PC?

Good news for fans of the Instagram application. Because the photo sharing application is testing direct message (DM) for the website version on the PC. Previously it was known that users cannot receive or send DM via PC.

Reporting from the Tech Crunch page, Wednesday (02/13/2019), this website version can make the DM feature a more personal messaging alternative. The messaging feature is capable of being a great engagement driver that often attracts people back to an application, and knows that friends can receive it anywhere.

Unfortunately, the feature is indeed just tested and it is not known when it was officially released. As is known, Facebook Inc. has played a lot on the website. Facebook itself starts on the web before being present in the app. Meanwhile, WhatsApp has also expanded to WhatsApp Web in 2015.

So it makes sense if DM will also explore the website, to enrich user variations. This can also pave the way for the unification of the upcoming Facebook back end infrastructure for Messenger, WhatsApp and DM Instagram which should expand encryption and allow cross-application chat as expected by Facebook Inc.

Is this the 5 New Central Features Twitter Made on iOS?

Twitter seems to be fixing itself by developing various new features. Complete, the company led by Jack Dorsey is reportedly experimenting to improve night mode, direct encrypted messages, and GIF.

Reporting from Mashable's website, Saturday (02/09/2019) these features were discovered by social media consultant Matt Navarra, who said that he could access features that had not been released by digging around in the code of the Twitter iOS application.

A Twitter spokesman declined to comment on the specifics, but said the company regularly experimented with many new features, and that not all tests were launched more widely. Following are the features found by Matt Navarra:

1. Night Mode Improvement

Twitter is testing two major updates for night mode or dark mode. First the dark mode is really black, not dark blue as it is now.

In addition to improving colors, it seems that Twitter is testing an automatic version of the feature, which will function similar to Night Shift on iOS. With dark automatic mode, eating dark Twitter themes can be automatically done at night and dies in the morning until noon.

6 Smartphone Unlocking Methods, Number 2 Safest

Your smartphone must have a number of options for security. Some use screen lock with pattern, PIN, password, Face ID, iris scanner, and fingerprint. Then from the many methods, which one is easier and safer? This time Okezone will discuss it, along with the review as reported by the Android Pit page, Sunday (10/2/2019).

1. Face recognition

Face recognition or facial recognition is nothing new. This method was first present on the Android version of Ice Cream Sandwich. This feature uses the device's front camera to take photos of your face and then use the photo as a baseline to unlock your device.

Unfortunately, the security of this feature has been questioned and more contra than the pros. Then, one of the biggest problems is that lighting must be ideal for the front camera so that it can take pictures of faces. There is a similar feature on the iPhone X, called Face ID, although the technology and the way it works is a little different.

2. Fingerprint Scanner

This feature is probably the most popular now, because many Android phones adopt it. How good the feature is, of course depends on several factors such as the quality of the sensor and its placement.

Quality, in this case, means the speed of the sensor reads your finger. This varies greatly between devices, and the surface is scratch-resistant. There are certain biometric authentication mechanisms that are faster when you use them.

Beware of Ticket Links Free on WhatsApp

Currently the link under the pretext of a free ticket is often found in the WhatsApp chat application. The link is in the form of text that gives instructions to open. After opening, the user is asked to fill out a survey.

Based on recent observations from Kaspersky Lab, the survey must be completed by 'victims'. After completing it, the user will be led to a page or site. But the page turned out to be a fake or fake site.

Kaspersky Lab monitors these links. Almost all survey instructions given are frauds or lies. Users who are trapped in filling out surveys do not experience material losses. But their personal data is easily stolen.

Even more worrying, users who have been trapped in filling out surveys are asked to share a link to some friends to get tickets. But after the action was carried out the promised free ticket did not come. Again, users are actually taken to fake sites.

Researchers from Kaspersky Lab suggest that WhatsApp users should not link suspicious messages with any scenario. Then never share a link with friends. If a friend sends it, remind them that the link is fake information.

E-mail and the Web Become a Source of Malware Deployment

Kaspersky Lab stated that e-mail and websites are still a favorite of hackers to spread malware online. Kaspersky Lab's SEA Territory Channel Manager, Dony Koesmandarin, said that email usage continues to expand because smart phone users must log in via email.

Even children who want to play games must also use email to register. "The trend has shifted towards online, websites have become a place to spread malware. Email, everyone, especially in big cities have e-mail," said Kaspersky Lab's SEA Territory Channel Manager, Dony Koesmandarin, Thursday (7/2).

Kasperksy assessed that the spread of malware in 2018 is divided into two categories, which require participation from users to click or that can be directly entered into the device without any clicks.

Malware that requires public participation, for example when opening a site, appears a pop-up box that tells users to update the software. In fact, the update is a manipulation of hackers to insert malware into the device.

In addition, hackers also take advantage of vulnerabilities in the browser to include file-less malware on the victim's device. Malware that is in this category can be a local threat, entered through hardware such as USB or CD.

Twitter Launches Live Streaming Video Group at Periscope

Twitter in early 2019 updated its live video streaming platform, Periscope. Now, Periscope has the ability to broadcast live with other users.

Periscope users can invite three other users to join the group's live broadcast. Each participant can hear other users' live broadcasts.

"The launch of this feature allows us to provide a means to make conversations more lively by allowing viewers to 'call' directly, like on a talk show, and join their voices," said Head of Twitter Products, Kayvon Beykpour, in a press statement Wednesday .

Beykpour stated that the live video streaming feature makes direct conversations more fluid and enables new ways for users to create conversations with each other. Then, if you want to finish the live broadcast, users can stop at any time without having to wait for the others to stop.

The concept of video sharing on the Periscope platform is like a live video on other social media, creators can talk directly to the audience via a camera and sound, while the audience will respond to the broadcast with a text message.

"Live video is very influential and allows the creation of direct conversations that are synchronous between the creator's content and the audience," Beykpour said.

Whatsapp Launches Biometric Security Feature

After a long wait, Whatsapp finally launched an additional layer of protection to protect user privacy. This new feature allows users to restrict other people's access to their Whatsapp application.

New security features that use this biometric technology can be found on Whatsapp Version 2.19.20. With this feature, users can lock this application with Face ID or Touch ID fingerprint scanning security features. It's just that the new features of Whatsappini can only be enjoyed by Iphone users.

This new Whatsapp security feature can be activated by selecting the Privacy menu in the 'Account Settings' option. Activating Face ID or Touch ID to limit Whatsapp access can be done by selecting 'Settings', 'Account', 'Privacy' then activating 'Screen Lock'.

Apart from these new security features, there are some updates that are also expected by Whatsapp users. These updates include more sticker options and inclusion of keyboards from third parties.

Whatsapp has now grown as the most popular messaging application in the world since it was launched in 2009. Currently, there are around 1.5 billion active Whatsapp users in the world. Large mergers with other messaging applications owned by Facebook can make this number grow even bigger.

"There is a lot that we need to take into account," Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said regarding Instagram and Facebook Messenger's integration of Whatsapp, as reported by the Independent.

New Bluetooth 5.1 Standards Announced, These Are the Advantages

The Special Interest Group (SIG) has announced a new standard for Bluetooth 5.1. The biggest innovation is a feature dubbed Direction Finding, with this the user can determine which direction the signal is sent. Reporting from the Android Pit page, Wednesday (01/30/2019), this allows you to determine the location and accuracy of only a few centimeters.

According to GIS, the new location will play a major role in indoor navigation and replace WLAN-based positioning in the long run. GPS positioning can also be improved, especially in places with poor GPS reception. Of course, the location of the key that is misplaced or the like will also be more appropriate.

In addition, the new Bluetooth 5.1 feature embedded is Generic Attributes (GATT) which is optimized to achieve faster installation. In addition, the transmission speed is higher, and the Random Channel Index is increased to prevent data packets from experiencing interference during transmission, which results in interference or disconnection.

Previous versions of Bluetooth 5.0 present a wide transmission range (up to 240 meters), lower power consumption, faster transfer speeds (up to 2 Mbps) and the ability to pair two audio devices with other devices.

Facebook will integrate Messenger, Whatsapp, Instagram

Facebook is reportedly considering considering merging its three messaging service platforms, WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook Messenger. The integration will allow users to send messages across the messaging platform for the first time.

The Facebook plan was delivered by CEO Mark Zuckerberg, according to the New York Times in his report, quoted Saturday. The process will involve recoding basic software from three applications to ensure they can be operated as planned.

A WhatsApp user will be able to, for example, send text messages to Instagram users for the first time without having to change applications.

Recoding the software will also involve activating end-to-end encryption (E2E) in all three applications, according to Mike Isaac of the New York Times. While all WhatsApp messages will use that security feature, which prevents anyone, including Facebook itself, from intercepting or censoring messages.

Facebook Messenger only supports E2E in special "secure conversation" mode, which is not active by default and must be activated separately for each chat, while Instagram has no encryption at all.

WhatsApp will give you notifications every time a message arrives. However, it turns out there is a setting for setting message notifications on WhatsApp Desktop.

You just click the drop-down button and enter the Settings> Notifications option. Users can turn off and manage incoming notification sounds, chat previews and desktop alerts.

In addition, you can mute WhatsApp on the desktop for several hours or a whole day with a drop-down menu at the bottom.

2. Navigate with the Tab Key

This function is designed so that users can navigate WhatsApp desktop quickly with the keyboard only. The first tab will direct you to the "Search" option, the second tab directs you to the chat list. While the third tab will direct you to emojis, and the next tab to the message box.

Reasons Why We Open Many Tabs on a Computer

Do you have many tabs open on the computer right now? Whether it's the news you want to read later, the podcast episode you want to listen to, or just a variety of e-mail accounts, and social media.

It's not just about feeling like we're finishing something. Opening various tabs also serves as a protection against boredom.

Having dozens of open tabs allows us to pretend we always do something, or at least we always do something. Maybe this is also driven by fear of losing information.

Quoted from Travel and Leisure, you are worried that you will miss important updates if you close the social media feed or the email account or news article. As a result, you will never close anything.

But this can cause excessive information. Even when you think you only focus on one window (tab), seeing all open tabs in the corner of the eye depletes mental energy and diverts you from the task at hand.

Based on multitasking studies, the tendency to open multiple tabs can actually change your brain. Some studies have found that heavy multitasker may perform worse on a variety of cognitive tests than people who don't try to consume media at such a frenzied pace.

Just like your brain, your browser and computer can only handle so much information at one time. To optimize the performance of your browser, Lifehacker recommends at most nine tabs that are open at once. With nine or fewer tabs, you can see all that is open at a glance.

Youtube Setop Sharing Automatically to Twitter and Google+

Youtube users and content creators starting January 31 will no longer be able to automatically share their videos to Twitter, Google+, and other social media platforms because Youtube has decided to stop the feature.

"We want to let you know about updates that can affect you. After January 31, the ability to post Youtube activities automatically (uploading, like videos, and more) on Twitter and Google+ will not be available," Youtube said in an announcement to its users, quoted Saturday (1/12).

Xiaomi Will Adopt Snapdragon 855 Kitchen Runway

Xiaomi is rumored to be adopting Qualcomm's 5G chipset, Snapdragon 855. As quoted from Antaranews.com, the two devices are said to run Android 9.0 Pie.

Not only that, quoted from Phone Arena on Wednesday, the two devices also approached their commercial launch. The Geekbench Browser test results show that the optimization of software and hardware is almost complete, unlike the Galaxy S10 Lite.

Even so, the two Xiaomi Cepheus devices and the Skywalker Blackshark were unable to overtake the multi-core record that was allegedly made by a Sony Xperia XZ4 prototype last week.

The two names above are not the official names of the two phones. However, "Blackshark Skywalker" will naturally follow in the footsteps of Black Shark and Black Shark Helo that focus on gaming.

Meanwhile, the code name Cepheus is expected to refer to a 5G capable device from the Mi Mix 3 or Xiaomi Mi 9 variants.

Why Big Capacity Powerbank Can't Be Taken in Airplanes

Powerbank incident exploded on an airplane several times. This is like what happened to the Royal Brunei (RB) Airlines plane recently.

The Powerbank carried by one of the passengers exploded and caught fire while in the aircraft cabin of the Hong Kong to Bandar Seri Begawan route. This incident was first uploaded by Francis Ngu Hown Hua on Facebook's social network on Thursday (01/07/2019).

Launching the Tech Advisor, Powerbanks may be brought into the airplane's baggage. However, each airline has its own regulations related to bank capacity. Usually it only allows a maximum of two POWERBANKs and each is not more than 100Wh or 27,000mAh.

As for powerbank with a capacity above 160Wh or 43,000 mAh the owner must obtain airline approval first. That's because Powerbank contains Lithium-ion batteries. If it is large, it can cause Powerbank to explode or burn.

For that, you have to pay attention to Powerbank's capacity so that it can be taken to the aircraft. You can calculate the capacity by multiplying the nominal voltage (3.7V) and dividing by 1000. If the capacity is below 27,000 mAh, you can carry the powerbank in the aircraft cabin.

DDoS is Still a Serious Cyber ​​Security Threat

The Cyber ​​Security Research Institute and Communication or Communication and Information System Security Research Center (CISSReC) expect a distributed denial of service (DDoS) to remain the most serious threat this year.

"In 2019 it is estimated that cyber attacks will be more powerful than in previous years," said Chairman of the Pratama Persadha Cyber ​​Security and Communication Research Institute (CISSReC) via e-mail to Antara in Semarang on Sunday morning (6/1).

DDoS is an attempt to make a computer or server unable to work properly so it is very dangerous and harmful. He estimates that the intensity of attacks on the biometric security system will continue to increase. This is because of the increasingly popular use of biometric authentication.

"This authentication is claimed to offer a strong level of security. However, in fact it actually has a vulnerability that is quite dangerous," said Pratama.

According to him, this opportunity is used by cyber criminals to steal sensitive information. They not only took advantage of the weaknesses of biometric authentication found, but also from data collection and storage.

He said the leakage of biometric data could also be dangerous for national sovereignty, for example, biometric data electronic identity cards (KTP-el). If the KTP-el biometric data is leaked, the data can be used by foreign parties or parties not responsible for identifying personally based on biometric data obtained.

Four Steps to Make a PC Like New Again

Is one of your resolutions having a faster PC next year? Or maybe you want to further improve gaming performance, multi-tasking, and create various content and documents on a laptop? In a statement submitted to Republika.co.id, Western Digital provides four simple steps that can make a PC feel like new again as follows.

Upgrade Internal Storage

To improve PC performance, the first thing to do is to upgrade the internal storage system to SSD. For comparison, 10,000 RPM HDDs have speeds of 140MB per second, while the WD Blue 3D NAND has speeds of up to 560MB per second. This means that upgrading from a hard-disk drive (HDD) to a solid state drive (SSD) can increase PC speeds by up to four times. The process of booting, playing, until the transfer between applications can be more accelerated and no longer slow.

Not only does it make PC performance faster, SSD storage is also more flexible and durable. This is because SSDs already use chip technology, not disks that are easily damaged when scratched or dropped. SSDs are also more environmentally friendly with less than one watt of electricity consumption, compared to HDDs that consume more than 10 watts.

Move unused data

Like electronic equipment in general, if the PC's memory is full, its performance will be hampered. Therefore, as much as possible move some large capacity data such as photos and videos to external storage devices.

Microsoft Patents USB-C Magnetic for Tablets

Microsoft is already quite flooded with criticism because it doesn't include 'future ports' or USB-C on its Surface tablet and laptop devices. Most recently, Microsoft finally patented the magnetic USB-C charging scheme on Surface devices.

Reporting from Tech Radar page, Monday (12/31/2018), Microsoft issued a patent on the USB-C port. The patent was previously submitted by Microsoft to WIPO since March 23 with the title "Magnetically Activated Latch Mechanism".

The patent states that the USB-C cable has a magnet on both sides of the container. This allows users to connect cables remotely without external power.

Also, when a non-magnetic USB-C plug is connected to the port, a hook inside is used to keep the cable in place. When a magnetic cable is connected, the hook system is deactivated so that the cable is connected to the magnet only.

As quoted by GSM Arena, with USB-C magnetic charging technology users don't need to use extra power to striking and pulling cables. This system prevents accidental cable withdrawals.

Because this is just a patent, it does not guarantee that Microsoft will use this system on its future devices. But this system will be accepted in the Microsoft tablet ranks
