You see, Hisense is not often on the list when it comes to the best of the best TVs or ones that are high-end. Instead, the company competes with the likes of TCL and Vizio for the mid-range crown. Naturally, it’s always interesting to see where these companies put their resources with their TVs, where they cut costs, and where they take risks. After testing the latest U8H model for a few weeks, it’s safe to say that Hisense is bringing high-quality imagery straight into your living room at the expense of a design and software experience that isn’t made for everyone....

Ransomware is one of today’s most prolific and vicious digital threats. Ransomware families including Locky, WannaCry, NotPetya, and Cerber plague consumers and businesses alike, locking up infected systems and demanding payment in return for decryption keys, which may or may not return access to encrypted files. Ransomware as a service (RaaS) is also now a standalone and popular criminal business. Operators can purchase access to ransomware for use in their campaigns, whether they are targeting the general public en masse or going after ‘Big Game’ enterprise companies....

Going on a vacation or an official trip? Want to send those automated “out of office” auto replies from your Gmail account? Well, you don’t need to look for third party apps or plugins. Google now has it’s own auto-responder. Google Labs has come out with yet another new feature in GMail called Canned Responses. As reported in the Official Google Blog, you can now save a reply as a canned response, and can choose this response as a reply to the future e-mails you will be getting....

Many things can keep you from enjoying a great round of golf: a hectic schedule, the weather, and more.

USB Type-C is all set to replace almost every other port being used for connectivity or data transfer in today’s laptops and smartphones. The specification of the port was defined keeping its diversity in mind. This also included support for USB PD, a fast charging technology similar to Qualcomm’s Quick Charge and other similar OEM implementation. However, things have not gone as planned with almost every major Android OEM implementing their own fast charging implementation over USB Power Delivery despite this move breaking support for the USB C specification as defined by USB-IF....

Because Google decided to kill their free RSS service, Reader, arguably for no reason other than to save some money, the media is telling people not to use Google Keep because it too might disappear one day. How long with this negativity persist? Will every new Google service come with the same warning label? I find this incredibly fascinating to watch. New services from new companies come out seemingly every week, many of which will fail, but whereas before people were cheerleading the leader in online services, Google, now they’re hurling tomatoes at them....

Google has rolled out updates for Pixel devices. As expected the update arrives with a bunch of bug fixes. That apart the Pixel April update also brings in a new feature that lets you add an eyes-open face unlock setting to the Pixel 4 and Pixel 4 XL. The Pixel update fixes a slew of security issues that are categorized as High and Critical. It is worth noting that the update also fixes vulnerability related to the media framework....

After initially announcing it at Google I/O earlier this year, Google has finally launched Duo, its new video calling app. The new video calling app from the company will be available for both iOS and Android devices. Unlike Hangouts and previous other video and chatting tools launched by Google, Duo’s advantage is its simplicity. Unlike Hangouts, Duo only requires you to have the phone number of the person whom you want to video call....

As per @evleaks, Google will be unveiling its second generation Pixel handsets powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 836 chipsets on October 5th. Interestingly, it is possible that the Pixel 2 and Pixel XL 2 will be the first Android devices to launch in the second half of this year that’d make use of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 836 chip. The chip’s performance should be similar to the Snapdragon 835 found in plenty of other Android devices, though it will likely be a bit more power efficient....

Android users, we can access Google search from several browsers, although the most used is Google Chrome. Today, we will show you the new design in tests of Google Search, which will adopt a more modern design and adapted to the lines of Material Design, imposed by the tech giant Google a few years ago. This will be the new Google search By clicking on the images you will be able to fully appreciate the difference between the old Google search and the new one....

The technology developed rapidly during World War I and has been perfected over the years. A century later, a team of researchers from the University of Lancaster (United Kingdom) and Linkoping (Sweden) talk about hacking an Android phone by entering through its unlock pattern. To achieve this, they have previously had to convert the phone into a sonar. Nothing strange if we take into account that a smartphone does not emit sound waves, but radio waves....

But similar to anything that’s powered by software and is perpetually tethered to the internet, connected cars are susceptible to cyberattacks. And this increasing number of connected cars on the road has led to a new kind of danger: remote smart car hacks. Now, two of the most popular smart car alarm systems in the world, one of which claims to be “unhackable,” were put to the test. You won’t believe how vulnerable these systems really are....

In fact, there is plenty of reason to believe that Facebook can and will sell your data again. Tap or click here to see how to stop Facebook from tracking you all over the web. When it comes to Facebook scandals, hacks are rarely as controversial as data leaks. But new information surrounding a 2018 hacking incident may change all that. Thanks to a malware campaign, multiple accounts were compromised and forced to buy $4 million worth of advertisements....

Of course, all is not perfect with them. Nothing is perfect, right? The problem with planar headphones is that they are heavy, bulky, and right now, rather expensive. And not too many brands make them – Audeze and HifiMan are the most prominent (although Oppo does make them too). It is almost impossible to get a pair under Rs 15,000. This is why we are rather delighted to see a pair of surprisingly and relatively new planar headphones for as little as Rs 11,999....

And just as those two worthies gave the Never Settlers something to think about, so too does the Honor 10. In some ways, it is a bit of an odd proposition. In Europe, the Honor 10 is priced at 399 Euros, which is well below the 499 Euro launch price of the View 10. However, in India, the Honor 10 comes at a higher price tag (Rs 32,999) as against the V10, which is priced at Rs 29,999....

Till to the date, the South Korean giant Samsung has always opted for the same solution for facial recognition of their Galaxy S phones. For some time they have offered an iris scanner to unlock the mobile phone using their eyes, a sort of solution for more advanced solutions. However, it is a method that increasingly becomes obsolete and requires more accuracy when positioning to unlock a device, hence, the South Korean giant Samsung would be thinking about getting rid of it for the Samsung Galaxy S10....

The Federal Trade Commission recently found that since 2011, Google has made it too easy for kids to purchase items within applications. And now Google has agreed to pay a sizable sum as a result.

If you’re thinking about creating an account on Google Drive simply to host and share any copyrighted content, then hold on as it would be better for you to be careful. As we told earlier that Google Drive is, along with Dropbox, one of the most popular cloud storage services on the net. Normally if you upload a movie or a song, you will not have a problem, but apparently, Google has implemented a new system similar to the one already used on YouTube to prevent their users from sharing this type of content....
