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.

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.

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
