Over 36 thousand points is a number high enough to consider this device a decent flagship. As far as specs go, the list tells us about a popular Snapdragon 855 with Adreno 640 GPU, a somewhat lacking 6GB RAM, very reasonable 128GB flash space and a FHD+ display. All of it works under the command of Android 9 Pie. Time will tell whether or not these specs are real. Tweet Vote on HN ...

Hackers have used a gaming pad to gain access into Tesla vehicle
Tencent Keen Security Lab employees have put Tesla cars under a series of tests to, well, test their defenses against hacking attempts. Those defenses have been found lacking to say the least: as it turned out, a really Keen hacker (see what I did there?) could gain access to the autonomous vehicle with just a gaming pad, whether or not the car is currently working on an autopilot. This as well as other ways to hack Tesla have been presented on this video. As for Elon Musk, he thanked Keen for their work at finding security holes in his cars and promised, that they have been or are being ...
Interesting. Apple has decresed its products’ prices in China
The products in question are iPhones XS, XR, 8 and 7, as well as some of the iPods, Mac computers and Airpods. iPhones’ prices have decreased from 300 to 500 juan – 45 to 75 dollars.

Watch out for malware-filled Game of Thrones downloads
If you want to get a head-start on Season 8, you might want to reconsider. Hackers and other online miscreants will often use the lure of ”yeah, this is totally the leaked first episode of Season 8” to make you download files filled with spying malware, viruses and other malicious stuff.

The most common kind of virus hidden in the show is trojan. My suggestion? Hold your horses and wait for the legal episodes to come ...
SpellForce: Heroes & Magic, new mobile phone strategy game

New SpellForce will offer a 13 missions-long campaign as well as skirmish mode, in which you will be able to control forces of either ...

Xiaomi has taken notice of their voices and has just released a patent that might be an answer to the anti-notchers’ First World Problem. As shown on the above and other graphics, Xiaomi plans a smartphone with notches placed at the bottom of the display, either in the middle or in the bottom corners. According to people wiser than me, the former idea is more ...
