Benchmark tests indicate that the US Galaxy S8 is worse than the global model

I have just read a pretty long, for its topic, article in which the writer complains about how the North American Galaxy S8 is worse than it’s global counterpart. Long story short, yes, it is slightly worse. GSM Arena performed a multitude of benchmark tests on both devices, and in almost all of them the global version of the phone was faster than its US counterpart. Why? Probably because of the difference in CPU’s. American Samsung Galaxy S8 is packing Snapdragon 835, while global edition of the phone comes with slightly faster Exynos 8895. That is ...

iPhone burns a man alive!!1!

Have I got your attention? Clarification – the guy was alive when his iPhone gave him a burn, and he is still alive. No one has died. Okay? Okay. Luke Schillab, USA, was unlucky enough to jump into the swimming pool with his iPhone 6 in pocket. The phone, of course, died. When Schillab realised what happened, he tried an old home remedy of putting the wet phone into the bag of rice, counting on the rice to absorb the water. When a few hours passed and the phone was still not responding, Schillab gave up. He put the phone on the bed (as later stated, he did it by a force of habit) and ...

An emergency Internet source, or Facebook works on a helicopter Internet adapter

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.

Xiaomi Mi 6, a strong phone for a down-on-the-ground price

You know me, I don’t feel like paying over a thousand bucks for a smartphone.

21st century, folks, or a young man builds a robot that shines laser into people’s eyes

Michael Reeves, 19, is a young inventor with a dream. He dreamed of building a robot – gathering the parts, constructing the machine, writing the software – which only purpose is to shoot people in the eye with a laser. This early prototype of T-800 is no deadly, as its laser is a relatively harmless marker, but it certainly is annoying. What was the point of making it in the first place? According to Reeves, the answer is this: ” It’s an age-old question, is there a God? What is the meaning of life? And can I have a robot that recognizes my face and shoots me with ...
