Facebook and its chat app Messenger are notorious for taking up much of the smartphone’s resources, hence why their mobile (Lite) versions have been developed some time ago. In the beginning, Messenger Lite was available only in five countries: Tunisia, Malaysia, Venezuela, Sri Lanka, Kenya. As you might have noticed, these are all developing countries, where most people cannot afford a high-end smartphone that would have no problem handling Facebook and Messenger – hence why the Lite version of them was released there. Now, though, the list of Lite-approved countries has grown ...

Jason Sylvain, 41-years old living in Mountain View (cool surname, by the way), was on his way when suddenly, out of nowhere, an evil, egg-shaped robot assaulted him! Sylvain, hero of humanity, punched the machine, defending mankind against the metal threat. Soon after, he was detained by the human slaves of the robotic overlords…… okay, that is not how it happened XD. Mountain View is a city located in Sillicon Valley, where many tech companies like Microsoft have their campuses. Small part of Mountain View’s security service are the so called knightscopes. Knightscope is ...

I am sure you have seen at least a few movies about prison life. Do you remember contraband scenes? Items smuggled in transport cars, delivered to receivers by book or laundry wagons, handed from inmate to inmate until they reach the right hand. Well, I hope you will remember these pictures, because times of contrabanda being done that way seem to be over…21st century sees a drastic increase in science and technology. Some of that tech angers us, some of it helps us. This particular way of using it can be counted as… both? Government of Great Britain noticed an increase in ...

DJI, a company that deals in, among other things, drones, have bought a majority stake at Hasselblad, a high quality camera producer. Together, those two firms have begun and are slowly completing their work on M600, a camera drone. This drone is basically three items melded into one: the drone itself (six batteries, dust resistance, Lightbridge 2 system), 100mpx camera with 53,4 mm x 40 mm sensor and a Ronin-MX gimbal that works as a stabilizator. If you do not know much about that tech (like me), let me rephrase – this will be a high quality, costly drone. We do not know its price ...

You know how United States government (oh, Donald) have decided to ban tablets and laptops from being taken into plane cabins? For now, the ban applies ”only” to ten Arabic countries from North Africa and Middle East, but if things go south, the prohibition will hit us Europeans as well. According to The Guardian, american administration considers doing just that.”British officials understand that their US counterparts are looking at extending the ban – which prevents any devices larger than a smartphone being taken as carry-on luggage – to flights from ...

This one kind of sounds like a BS, but hey, even if not true, at least it’s entertaining. Long story short, a Reddit user nicknamed FiletOfFish1066 has shared the story of how he managed to avoid work for six years while making full salary. FiletOfFish1066 was an IT technician. His job was to test software made by other developers. According to his own words, Filet did not feel like doing all this work. Instead, he spent first eight months of work on writing a program that automated his work for him. Then he could just kick back, relax and play some League of Legends for well over ...

Announced by us a few weeks back, mobile game Nonstop Chuck Norris is now available online for both iOS and Android platforms. In it, the player „plays” the role of Chuck Norris and his/her „task” is to defeat waves of enemies with fists, legs and a variety of weapons. Why the quotation mark? From what I read, there is very little actual gameplay in this game. You, the player, cannot control where is your character going or who and how is it attacking. All that you can do is to decide when to use various super moves – which, by the way, do not seem to be very ...

Super Mario Run is okay, but most of us expected more from that game (not me. I didn’t care in the least, and still don’t). Month ago, the game had 78 million downloads, which is great, but only 390000 customers have bought the game’s full version, with all these millions of potential customers staying satisfied with the free worlds 1-4. Even though Nintendo might be let down with its endless runner, it does not forsake the game. On the contraty – it has just released SMR’s first update.Changelog:– The maximum number of Toads that can live in your kingdom ...

I rarely get to write about Sharp, so I’m glad that, when I get the chance to, I can write something nice. Aquos R has, for a relatively not well known company, really great specification. Here, take a look yourself:– 5.3′ IGZO display, WQHD HDR,– Snapdragon 835 CPU: Adreno 540 GPU,– 4GB RAM, 64GB inner memory,– Bluetooth 5.0,– 22.6mpx main camera, optical image stabilization, f/1.9 aperture; 16mpx front camera,– 3.5mm headphone jack, USB Type C,– 3160mAh battery, QuickCharge 3.0,– fingerprint scanner,– IP68 certificate.Nice, ...

Facebook works on many things. One of them seems to be a helicopter, that can quickly bring wireless Internet connection to where it is most needed. Tether-tenna, for that is the project’s name, is to be used when a crisis occurs and being connected to the web is a difference between life and death (like when my connection died down when I was tanking that dungeon in Final Fantasy XIV). According to its creators, helicopter is supposed to fly in, connect to the earthbound cable, as well as, if possible, a source of energy, and transmit wireless Internet connection. It is unknown ...
