Daily News Roundup: Walmart’s Game Streaming Service, Facebook Stored Passwords in Plain Text, and More

Admin 0 Tips 21:19

<p><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-408132" height="300" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/news-header-4.png" width="650" /></p>
<p>The past 24 hours have been filled with some interesting tidbits with rumors of a Walmart game streaming service and Facebook’s improper storage of passwords, but that’s just the beginning. Here’s a look at the biggest stories from March 22, 2019.</p>
<h2>Apple News: AirPower…Maybe</h2>
<p>It’s been a surprisingly busy week for Apple, with new iPad, new iMacs, and new AirPods all hitting the scene ahead of the company’s big announcement on Monday. Things have been quiet on the Apple front this morning, but there are a couple of rumors worth talking about.</p>
<ul>
<li>Apple secured the trademark for “AirPower,” the company’s long-awaited multi-device wireless charging mat. [<a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2019/03/21/apple-secures-rights-to-airpower-trademark/">MacRumors</a>]</li>
<li>The better news? We might see it launch “in late March” (finally). Been a long time coming. [<a href="https://www.digitimes.com/news/a20190322PD202.html">Digitimes</a>]</li>
<li>In new unrelated to AirPower, Apple Music got a nice little update and makeover to the Browse section that should make it easier for users to find new tunes. Dig it. [<a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2019/03/22/apple-music-updates-browse/">MacRumors</a>]</li>
</ul>
<p>AirPower has bee an unusual product for Apple because it was initially announced back in 2017 with an expected 2018 launch. There hasn’t been anything concrete from Apple since then, which is pretty unusual for a company as consistent and reliable as it is. Still, it’s something that most Apple users have been longing for, and it looks like the time may finally be close. Maybe, anyway.</p>
<h2>Microsoft and Windows News: The Return (and Demise) of Clippy</h2>
<p>It seems like every day there’s at least one Microsoft-related thing worth talking about. Today, it’s Clippy, the long-loathed talking (and annoying) paperclip from back in the day.</p>
<ul>
<li>Microsoft brought back Clippy as part of an animated sticker pack for its Teams collaboration and chat app. Then, it quickly killed it off. The little guy just can’t get a break. [<a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/22/18276923/microsoft-clippy-microsoft-teams-stickers-removal">The Verge</a>]</li>
</ul>
<p>It turns out that after bringing Clippy back, the “brand police” weren’t pleased. Even in something as simple and otherwise harmless as a sticker pack, I guess Clippy is still so offputting that no one wants to see his stupid little face ever again. Poor Clippy.</p>
<h2>Google and Android News: Hidden Video Ads and Drained Batteries</h2>
<p>Ah, Google. Even when it seems like nothing else is going on in the tech world (even though there’s always something) we can all count on Google and Android news for something to look at and ponder on.</p>
<ul>
<li>There’s a new scam that lets advertisers run hidden video ads in the background, making them dollars off you while also killing your phone’s battery. What a time to be alive. [<a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/22/18276542/scam-hidden-video-ads-android-app-drain-batteries-data-cpu-cycles">The Verge</a>]</li>
<li>Android Auto recently got an update for widescreen head units that will allow two apps to show in split-screen format at one time. This is such a killer update I’m jealous of everyone who gets it and isn’t me. [<a href="https://9to5google.com/2019/03/21/android-auto-widescreen-support/">9to5Google</a>]</li>
<li>Google is dropping IFTTT support in Gmail as part of a program to increase privacy and security. This is undoubtedly going to come as a hit to anyone who relies on IFTTT for automation in their email. Support will be removed on March 31st. [<a href="https://9to5google.com/2019/03/22/gmail-will-drop-support-ifttt-march-31/">9to5Google</a>]</li>
<li>There was an update to Samsung’s “Notification” app, which apparently bothered some people? Turns out it’s fine. Like, fine. [<a href="https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/03/21/no-the-samsung-notifications-app-update-is-not-dangerous/">Android Police</a>]</li>
<li>Samsung’s upcoming Galaxy A90—which should be announced at the company’s <a href="http://www.samsungmobilepress.com/stories/invitation-a-galaxy-event">April 10th event</a>—is said to have a “notchless infinity screen.” So…where’s the front camera going to be? [<a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/22/18277109/samsung-galaxy-a90-features-notchless-infinity-display">The Verge</a>]</li>
<li>eBay added support for Google Pay on Android and the web. I think that’s cool. [<a href="https://9to5google.com/2019/03/21/ebay-google-pay-android-web/">9to5Google</a>]</li>
</ul>
<p>The most troubling thing here is the whole “video ads in the background” garbage. Apparently this is no fault of the developers of affected apps, however—it’s an ad company doing shady ad company stuff. According to Buzzfeed, the source of this crap was traced back to OutStream Media. At this point, any developer using OutStream for ad services should probably find a new ad provider, because this is pure garbage. If you’re experiencing this issue, best just to let the developer know what’s going on and realize that they probably don’t know either.</p>
<h2>Everything Else: Walmart’s Game Streaming Service and Terrible Facebook Password Storage Practices</h2>
<p>Generally speaking, I find the “everything else” category one of the more subtle sections in this daily news feed. Today, however, it contains arguably the biggest news of the past 24 hours.</p>
<ul>
<li>Facebook stored millions of passwords in plain text, which allowed “as many as 20,000” employees to see your password. If you use your Facebook password in other places, probably time to change it. [<a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/21/18275837/facebook-plain-text-password-storage-hundreds-millions-users">The Verge</a>]</li>
<li><em>The Next Big Thing in Gaming</em> is coming…from Walmart? Apparently, the store everyone hates but goes to anyway is thinking about offering its own game streaming service. Great. [<a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/21/18276235/walmart-cloud-gaming-service-google-stadia-competitor">The Verge</a>]</li>
<li>Steam’s library is getting a makeover that sucks so much less than it does now. It should give a much better overview of what’s the haps with your installs. I dig it. [<a href="https://www.engadget.com/2019/03/21/steam-game-library-redesign/">Engadget</a>]</li>
<li>Apparently, people in India <em>really love</em> PUBG. So much, in fact, a 6-hour <em>per day</em> limit is being tested by the developer. Wow. [<a href="https://thenextweb.com/in/2019/03/22/pubg-is-testing-a-6-hour-per-day-limit-in-india/">The Next Web</a>]</li>
<li>Thousands of Medtronic defibrillators could have a vulnerability that makes them open to hacks. This is a life-saving piece of equipment found inside a person’s body, and someone else could literally take control of it. If that’s not scary, I don’t know what is. [<a href="https://gizmodo.com/hundreds-of-thousands-of-medtronic-defibrillators-could-1833481773">Gizmodo</a>]</li>

How to Open Links in the Background on Safari on iPhone and iPad

Admin 0 Tips 20:04

<p><img alt="Open in Background dialog" class="alignnone wp-image-408331" height="299" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/imageedit_1_7357342157.png" width="650" /></p>
<p>Safari lets you open links in a new tab on iPhone or iPad, but it immediately switches to that new tab when you do. Here’s how to open all new tabs in the background instead.</p>
<p>Opening links in new tabs on an iPhone or iPad has long been a simple case of touching and holding a link and then tapping “Open in New Tab.” That works great if you don’t want to lose your place on your current web page. But it can be jarring if you just want to open a tab and come back to it later. For that, you want to be able to open a new tab in the background.</p>
<p>Thankfully, deep in the heart of the Settings app on both the iPhone and iPad, you’ll find a setting that does exactly that. Once turned on, all tabs will open in the background rather than stealing your focus, and it’s pretty great.</p>
<p>To get started, open the “Settings” app and then tap “Safari.”</p>
<p><img alt="Open Settings and tap Safari" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-408327" height="390" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/imageedit_1_5943991273-1.jpg" width="650" /></p>
<p>Next, scroll down and tap “Open Links” to open the next screen.</p>
<p><img alt="Tap Open Links" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-408328" height="462" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/imageedit_1_4933623757.jpg" width="650" /></p>
<p>The next screen will show the two options available to you. If you want to open new links in the background, without having them steal focus, tap “In Background” and exit the Settings app.</p>

How to Set Up iCloud On Your Mac

Admin 0 Tips 18:34

<p><img alt="MacOS Stock Photo" class="alignnone wp-image-408235 size-full" height="300" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/img_5c919fc749629.png" width="650" /></p>
<p>The iCloud ecosystem is complicated, and it’s hard to know how much of your data is safe in the “cloud” and synced across your devices. We’ll walk through the process of setting up and explain what each feature does.</p>
<h2>How to Sign Into iCloud</h2>
<p>When you first set up your Mac, you should have been prompted to sign in with an iCloud account. If you’ve already set that up, you’re good to go, but if you’re not signed in you’ll need to sign in from the iCloud settings.</p>
<p>Open the System Preferences app—you can click the Apple menu at the top of your screen and select “System Preferences”—and click the “iCloud” icon. You can also find the System Preferences app on your dock and in your Applications folder.</p>
<p><img alt="iCloud settings icon" class="alignnone wp-image-408230 size-full" height="150" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/img_5c919df974d2d.png" width="325" /></p>
<p>These are the iCloud settings. If you’re not signed in, you’ll see this sign-in screen.</p>
<p><img alt="iCloud sign in page" class="alignnone wp-image-408228 size-full" height="300" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/img_5c919d4941ba6.png" width="650" /></p>
<p>If you already have an Apple ID from an iPhone or iPad, make sure to use the same one for your Mac, or else nothing will sync between your devices. If you need to make a new account though, you can click “Create Apple ID” at the bottom to sign up.</p>
<p><img alt="iCloud sign up page" class="alignnone wp-image-408229 size-full" height="300" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/img_5c919d53b5b29.jpg" width="650" /></p>

Android Weekly: Shoddy Antivirus Apps, Android Q Features, and More

Admin 0 Tips 17:34

<p><img alt="" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-408561" height="300" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/android-weekly-HTG-1.png" width="650" /></p>
<p>Last week saw the release of Android Q, and a lot of new features to go with it. The week of March 16th through 21st brought even more of that, along with a few Pie updates, Google’s new gaming announcement, and more.</p>
<h2>More Android Q Features</h2>
<p>We had a massive list of Android Q features in last week’s Android news roundup, and of course more of that sort of thing continued to trickle out this week. While the list isn’t <em>quite</em> as long, there’s still a lot of interesting stuff here.</p>
<ul>
<li>Android Q may get chat head-like notification bubbles for other apps. This sounds interesting, useful, and potentially annoying all at the same time. [<a href="https://www.xda-developers.com/android-q-tests-bubble-chat-heads-notification/">XDA Developers</a>]</li>
<li>Along that same line (but opposite), Google is cracking down on full window overlays like chat heads. This permission will be heavily restricted on sideloaded apps, but a little open with things installed from the Play Store. [<a href="https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/03/16/android-q-steps-up-the-fight-up-against-overlay-based-malware/">Android Police</a>]</li>
<li>There’s a hidden setting in the Pixel Launcher on Android Q that brings more iOS-like gesture navigation. Please, Google, for the love of all that is holy, steal this feature. The iPhone gesture navigation is <em>so good.</em> [<a href="https://www.xda-developers.com/android-q-iphone-navigation-gestures/">XDA Developers</a>]</li>
<li>Do Not Disturb settings are customizable in Android Q. Cool. [<a href="https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/03/20/do-not-disturb-schedules-can-be-customized-on-android-q/">Android Police</a>]</li>
<li>The squircles are coming! While not directly tied to Android Q, Google is changing Play Store requirements to make every icon a squircle. Okay then! [<a href="https://www.xda-developers.com/googles-new-requirements-will-make-every-play-store-icon-a-squircle/">XDA Developers</a>]</li>
</ul>
<p>Android Q has been out for more than a week now. I’ve been running it on my Pixel 1 XL for testing, and it’s honestly…just fine. It’s this weird blend of “this feels just like Pie,” but is also loaded down with a bunch of new, subtle features. Improved permissions are a real highlight for me, with iOS-like options of being able to permit apps location (and other) permissions only while in the foreground. That’s a boon for privacy. I’ll be interested to see what else comes with Q as it progresses towards a stable build.</p>
<h2>Google News: Google Stadia, the Future of Gaming (maybe)</h2>
<p>Google announced Stadia this week, its new gem streaming platform. Honestly, it’s <em>a lot</em> cooler than I think anyone was expecting. Here’s the skinny, followed by some thoughts.</p>
<ul>
<li>If you want to know what Stadia is all about, Review Geek has you covered. [<a href="https://www.reviewgeek.com/14236/googles-stadia-streaming-platform-is-an-all-out-invasion-of-gaming/">Review Geek</a>]</li>
<li>If you want the Cliffs’ Notes version, Google released a four-minute version of the live announcement. Thanks, Google! [<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vsaenNSjclY">YouTube</a>]</li>
<li>Since Stadia is going to need content, there’s a partner program that offers free development hardware. That should make for a good start. [<a href="https://9to5google.com/2019/03/19/google-announces-stadia-partners-program-offering-free-development-hardware-and-resources/">9to5Google</a>]</li>
<li>We covered (at our sister site, Review Geek) three things Stadia needs to succeed. [<a href="https://www.reviewgeek.com/14256/the-three-things-google-stadia-needs-to-conquer-the-gaming-industry/">Review Geek</a>]</li>
<li>Kotaku asked the Stadia Boss Phil Harrison some stuff about the service. He even answered some of it. [<a href="https://kotaku.com/google-stadia-boss-answers-and-dodges-our-questions-1833422137">Kotaku</a>]</li>
</ul>
<p>So, here’s the thing: Stadia <em>looks</em> amazing. The promise of 4K 60fps gaming—something my PS4 Pro can’t do, mind you—streamed over the internet is a mind-blowing concept. But that’s the thing: it’s still basically a concept. There’s a lot we don’t know, like pricing, required internet speeds, game catalog, and model. Is it going to be a flat monthly rate where you can stream all you want, or will you have to buy games one-by-one? That’s the first question that has to be answered, and I’ve seen several differing opinions on how different journalists think this will work.</p>
<p>Similarly, if it is an all-you-can-eat model, it needs to be priced aggressively. If it’s over $14.99 a month out of the gate, it’ll likely be dead in the water. $9.99 (or less!) would be a great starting point; then prices can rise as it gets more features and games.</p>
<p>But the biggest question on my mind? <em>Will Google actually support Stadia</em>? I’ve been covering Google services and Android for nearly a decade, and if I’ve learned anything in that time, it’s that Google is bad for announcing products or services with grandiose plans, only to never deliver on any of it and let the service die two or three years later. I sincerely hope that this isn’t the case with Stadia, because this is a service that not only makes a lot of sense but could potentially have an incredibly bright future.</p>
<h2>Android Updates: Pie for Nokia, ASUS Falls Short, OnePlus Starts Testing</h2>
<p>While Android Q is being tested on Pixel phones, several other manufacturers are either just now pushing or testing Pie on their devices. It’s easily the most significant pain point for most Android users: if you don’t buy Pixel, you have no choice but to wait for updates.</p>
<ul>
<li>Nokia is pushing Pie to the 3.1. [<a href="https://www.androidcentral.com/will-my-phone-get-android-p">Android Central</a>]</li>
<li>It also released Pie for the 5.1. [<a href="https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/03/19/android-9-pie-begins-rolling-out-to-the-nokia-5-1/">Android Police</a>]</li>
<li>ASUS, on the other hand, backslides on its Pie update, pushing it back to mid-April for many Zenfone models. Ouch. [<a href="https://www.androidpolice.com/2019/03/18/asus-pie-update-slides-back-to-mid-april-for-select-zenfone-models/">Android Police</a>]</li>
<li>OnePlus started testing the Pie update for the 3/3T in China, which means a global rollout is probably also coming soon. [<a href="https://9to5google.com/2019/03/21/android-pie-for-oneplus-3-3t-being-tested-in-china/">9to5Google</a>]</li>
<li>In non-Pie news, The Razr Phone 2’s unique Chroma feature got a nice little update with Wave lighting. [<a href="https://www.xda-developers.com/razer-chroma-wave-lighting-razer-phone-2/">XDA Developers</a>]</li>

How to Avoid Windows 7’s End-of-Support Nags

Admin 0 Tips 16:19

<p><img alt="Windows 7 support end date nag message on desktop" class="alignnone wp-image-408568 size-full" height="300" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/img_5c93e75ab653c.png" width="650" /></p>
<p>Windows 7 will soon start nagging you to upgrade to Windows 10—again. Specifically, you’ll see a message informing you that Microsoft will officially <a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/400783/windows-7-only-has-one-year-of-security-patches-left/">stop supporting Windows 7</a> on January 14, 2020. Here’s how to avoid it.</p>
<h2>Why Windows 7 Will Nag You</h2>
<p>Microsoft will only support Windows 7 with security patches until January 14, 2020. That’s the “end of support” or “end of life” (EOL) date. After this date, Windows 7 will technically leave “<a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/392976/what-it-means-when-microsoft-stops-supporting-your-version-of-windows/">extended support</a>.” Businesses can pay for additional support, but average consumer PCs will be stuck without security patches.</p>
<p>That means Windows 7 machines will be increasingly vulnerable, and software developers will eventually leave those old PCs behind and stop writing software that works on Windows 7.</p>
<p>We strongly recommend upgrading to a supported operating system by January 14, 2020. You’re using a supported operating system until then—so feel free to hide the nags and use your PC. And who wants to be nagged, anyway?</p>
<p><strong>RELATED:</strong> <a href='https://www.howtogeek.com/400783/windows-7-only-has-one-year-of-security-patches-left/'><strong><em>Windows 7 Only Has One Year of Security Patches Left</em></strong></a></p>
<h2>Microsoft Will Let You Silence the Nags This Time</h2>
<p><img alt="Windows 7 end of life notification" class="alignnone wp-image-408565 size-full" height="411" src="https://www.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/img_5c93e5e8bc69b.png" width="650" /></p>
<p>Microsoft has learned its lesson—kind of. While the original “Get Windows 10” (GWX) messages just kept coming back over and over again, this end-of-support notification looks much less annoying.</p>
<p>This latest popup message doesn’t try to install any software on your system. In fact, the free Windows 10 upgrade offer is over—although there’s still <a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/266072/you-can-still-get-windows-10-for-free-with-a-windows-7-8-or-8.1-key/">an official but kind-of-secret way to upgrade to Windows 10 for free</a>.</p>

Samsung develops first 3rd-generation 10nm-Class DRAM

Admin 0 Mobiles 16:12

<img alt="" src="https://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Samsung-10nm-Class-DRAM-1024x649.jpg" /> Samsung Electronics has announced that it has developed a 3rd-generation 10-nanometer-class (1z-nm) eight-gigabit (Gb) Double Data Rate 4 (DDR4) DRAM for the first time in the industry. Mass production of the 1z-nm 8Gb DDR4 will begin within the second half of this year to accommodate next-generation enterprise servers and high-end PCs expected to be launched in 2020. Samsung’s development of the 1z-nm DRAM paves the way for an accelerated global IT transition to next-generation DRAM interfaces such as DDR5, LPDDR5 and GDDR6. Following a full validation with a CPU manufacturer for eight-gigabyte (GB) DDR4 modules, Samsung will be actively collaborating with global customers to deliver an array of upcoming memory solutions. In line with current industry needs, Samsung plans to increase the portion of its main memory production at its Pyeongtaek site, while working with its global IT clients to meet the rising demand for state-of-the-art DRAM products. Jung-bae Lee, executive vice president of DRAM product & technology, Samsung Electronics, said: Our commitment to break through the biggest challenges in technology has always driven us toward greater innovation. We are pleased to have laid the groundwork again for stable production of next-generation DRAM that ensures the highest performance and energy efficiency. As we build out our ...

<img alt="" src="https://images.fonearena.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Vivo-V15-Pro_fonearena-1-1024x725.jpg" /> Vivo launched the NEX last year with a no-notch design, in-display fingerprint sensor and a pop-up camera in India, soon after it was introduced in China. The design received praises since the price was compelling, so the company has brought all these things at a cheaper rate to the Indian market with the V15 Pro a few weeks back. This is good in terms of innovation, and the specifications look good on paper, but is the phone worth the price? Let use find out in the review. Display, Hardware and Design The phone packs a large 6.39-inch 19.5:9 Super AMOLED 2.5D curved glass screen with gentle rounded corners. It is a Full HD+ Ultra FullView Display with a pixel resolution of 2340 × 1080 pixels and a pixel density of about 403 PPI. The display is bright and the colors are vibrant since it has 100% P3 color gamut coverage. Sunlight legibility is good as well. The company says that the AMOLED panel is made of advanced E2 luminescent materials. Overall the display is gorgeous to look, thanks to the no-notch design and minimal bezels on the sides and the bottom. [gallery link="file" columns="2" size="large" ids="278277,278278"] You can adjust the display color temperature from the display settings, and ...
