The company tried hard to make us believe that the Z5 smartphone will be The thing, the new cool kid on the block, the best thing since sliced bread. Awesome specs, kewl looks, full-panel display etc. Well, Z5’s official presentation came, and it is… just another smartphone. Nothing special. All the promises about the borderless display turned out to be lies – phone has a notch as well as a considerable ”goatee” at the bottom of the front panel. Bleh. Specifications of Z5 are also nothing spectacular:– processor Snapdragon 636 (it was supposed to be 845), ...

GO is a series of mobile turn-based logic games created by the Japanese company Square Enix; based on the already existing titles Lara Croft GO, Deus Ex GO and Hitman GO. All three were successful products, praised by the reviewers and players alike. There was an issue with the latter group, though – there were very few of them. Most people nowadays expect their mobile apps to come free, and Square Enix had the “nerve” to, gasp!, ask for money in return for their product. O tempora o mores… GO Patric Naud, CEO of Square Enix, has officially announced that the GO ...

Do you remember Mother Day’s flower reactions? Last time we had them may as well be the last time we will ever see them. Remember the Pride Month rainbow flag? We did not get it this year, and perhaps we will never get it again. Facebook has officially decided to not implement these and any other event reactions any more. Why? No one knows, as Zuckerberg has not explained himself. On the bright side, we are getting other event stuff instead: new themes, new Messenger AR effects, new avatar frames etc. That is nice, sure… but why did Facebook get rid of the bonus reactions? Let ...

Carrot Weather, a weather app with a bite, has recently come out on Android OS. What is it? Basically a normal weather app with a touch of dark sense of humour. It will tell you, in a monotonous female voice, that it will rain in a minute and it sucks to be you if you’re caught outdoors, or that it is impressed that you can operate your smartphone despite having such tiny fat fingers; it will hope that you get a stroke on a hot day and wish goodnight to you and the guy that waits for you to fall asleep so that he can kill you at night. Function-wise, it is a bog standard weather app; ...

After issuing aseries of bug fixes for the Android P developers preview, Essential is promising more. According to the recent tweet by the company, its Essential Phone will be receiving significant updates for the next two years, with bug fixes coming for all that time and a year after. Such a show of confidence in a failed smartphone… this timeline may change, though, as Essential may soon be put up for sale. One way or another, Essential Phone 2 is out of question in the near ...

Lenovo Z5, also known as Lenovo ZUK Z5, is set to launch on June 5th, in a week. The date has been set in an announcement made by Lenovo Group VP Chang Cheng himself. If all the rumours surrounding this phone turn out to be true then what we are facing is a serious breakthrough in the quality of smartphones, at least as far as phone’s ”beefyness” goes. Some of the phone’s most interesting promised features are:– 95 percent screen-to-body ratio,– 4 terabytes (yes, terabytes) of internal storage,– 45 days standby battery.Even if the rest of the Lenovo ...

In it, the company plans to launch Uber Elevate, a flying taxi service. This video depicts the general idea of how will this futuristic taxi service work.

ATCP will focus not only on building flying taxis ...

Battlefield series is alive and well, unlike some other multiplayer shooters (khe khe CoD khe khe Black Ops khe khe). After a pretty great Battlefield 1 from 2016, DICE, the creators of the series, bring us the first appetizer for sequel. Trailer starts as a cinematic, action-filled show based on game’s engine only to make a pretty seamless transition to quazi-gameplay (because come on, game will NOT be as cool as this) in the middle. It all looks pretty great, and there is a lot of hype going on, buuuuut… large number of people online took to complaining about it. Their ...

Now that the clickbait title is out of the way, lets get to the meat of the post. British government has the right/wrong idea to curb the popularity of pornographic websites among the adolescents. In order to do so, they devised a plan to limit the access to XXX sites by implementing special codes neccessary in order to enter them. These 16-digit tokens could be bought at kiosks, of course only after presenting the shopkeep with an identification card. This method has been accepted by the government and will be implemented soon, even though it has a vocal number of critics believing that it ...

Everyone knows reCAPTCHA, even if not everyone recognizes it by name. It is that annoying window at the end of many registration processes, the one that tells you to type in characters shown in the picture or answer a question. The creator of this little monster – a useful one, but still a monster – Google, has reportedly decided that reCAPTCHA is too annoying and have almost finished their work on the new version of the program. reCAPTCHA 3 is all about working in the background without being seen. The program can determine whether the applicant is a bot or a living human based ...
