The Pixel 3 XL leaks just don’t stop. Pre-production units of the handset have already leaked in detailed high-resolution photos and even been unboxed on video. Now, adding salt to Google’s injuries, (presumably) a Google employee left a Pixel 3 XL in a Lyft. The leaked photos don’t reveal anything new except for giving us a closer look at that XL-sized notch and the two-tone panel at the rear. Unlike other Pixel 3 XL leaks that we have seen so far, this unit had a black rear panel....

In a blog post Monday, Sony championed the update as a visual improvement, although did not offer any specific images or examples.

I’m not going to lie to you, I used to be one of those people who made fun of large phones. When I saw the first generation Note, I thought it was the most idiotic product ever invented. But then, for reasons I won’t mention here because I don’t want to bore you, I decided to take the plunge and buy a Note II. Since then I’ve fallen in love with these laughably huge handset, and I’m looking forward to seeing how much bigger they can get....

The funds were awarded to six satellite firms as part of NASA’s Communication Services Project (CSP), which looks to tap the private sector for near-Earth SATCOM replacements for its soon-to-be-decommissioned Tracking and Dara Relay Satellite (TDRS). SEE: NASA will test this ‘SpinLaunch’ system that hurls satellites into space SpaceX landed $69.5 million for a a commercial optical low-Earth orbiting relay network for high-rate SATCOM services to spacecraft in low-Earth orbit for routine missions, contingency operations, launch and ascent, and early-operations phase communications....

In this article, we will discuss this threat, provide in-depth reversing details and explore how to protect our assets against malware of this nature. Introduction According to the Intezer analysis which first documented this threat: “Stantinko group is known for targeting Windows operating systems with ongoing campaigns dating back to 2012.

Also: Google is exiting the IoT business. Microsoft is doing the opposite Why? Because rather than trying to reinvent the wheel, the OpenInfra Foundation’s StarlingX uses best-of-breed open-source programs to deliver a complete edge computing stack. This starts with Ceph. This Red Hat-sponsored do-it-all, open-source software-defined storage platform can work with object-level, block-level, and file-level storage. For cloud management, it uses the tried and true OpenStack. And, for container orchestration, StarlingX uses, of course, Kubernetes....

The fourth version of the TDL rootkit family (TDL4) is the first reliable and widely spread bootkit to target x64 operating systems (Windows Vista and Windows 7). Since TDL4 started to spread actively in August 2010, several versions of the malware have been released. By comparison with its predecessors, TDL4 is not just characterized by modification of existing code, but to all intents and purposes can be regarded as new malware....

In particular, Google is committed to bringing its advanced camera software technology to mid-range phones.

Not to be deterred by the failure of its Gear branded smartwatch, Samsung is working on a new smartwatch that will work as a stand-alone phone without the need to be paired to any Android device. The Wall Street Journal reports that the smartwatch in question would be able to make and receive calls, send emails, take photos, click pictures and more all by itself. Apparently, Samsung is currently in talks with many major telecom carries in the United States, South Korea and Europe and hopes to unveil it sometime between June and July....

Samsung’s new Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge weren’t just overhauled on the outside; they boast major improvements on the inside, too, including new UFS 2.0 flash memory that is significantly faster than the storage chips you’ll currently find in other flagships.

Docker is a virtualization container that can be used for the deployment of applications. I’ve recently been tasked with installing Redmine application on the server, which has been quite fun. I’ve had some problems while doing it and I could do it again without a problem within a week, because all of the tweaks are still fresh in my mind. But what about after a month? That’s an entirely different story: By that time, I would probably forget all the details and would need to browse the Internet again....

In Summary Apple introduced the desktop version of Shortcuts with the launch of macOS Monterey earlier this year. However, unlike its iOS or iPadOS counterpart, the Mac Shortcuts app doesn’t offer automation functionalities to trigger shortcuts automatically. Shortery bridges this gap by offering you a few different triggers that you can use to run Mac shortcuts automatically. However, as of writing this, Apple doesn’t offer automation triggers on the Mac Shortcuts app as it does with its iOS or iPadOS equivalent, leaving users with no choice but to run shortcuts manually on their Mac....

Unlike the Marshmallow beta program for the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge in South Korea and United Kingdom, Samsung did not have an open registration process for this rollout. Instead, the company apparently selected 200 participants randomly and sent them an email with instructions on how to install the beta update on their device....

The company already launched its first PlayStation VR headset and its accessories in 2016, and now after six years, it is ready to launch next, which was in a discussion last year. PlayStation VR2 Launch Set In Early 2023 As you can see in the above image, the VR2 includes more considerable design changes than the predecessor as it seems lightweight, smaller, and much simpler.

If you think you’re getting something for free, there’s always a catch. This also applies to VPN services. But instead of paying for a few extra drinks, free VPN services could end up putting your personal privacy at risk. At the very least, free VPNs often have such strong limitations that even when they are offered by a reputable company, they aren’t very useful. If you’re looking for a more reliable option, consider our handpicked list of the best VPNs instead....
