Apple Could Drop Support for All iPhones Through iPhone 6s with iOS 13

iOS 13 is already shaping up as one major update for iPhone and iPads, with Apple said to be working on substantial improvements, but a new report brings bad news for older-generation devices. Israeli site The Verifier claims the upcoming iOS 13 will drop support for several iPhone models, with Apple planning to go forward only with modern iPhones. Specifically, iOS 13 will no longer be offered to any iPhone older than iPhone 7, so those who are still on an iPhone 6s, 6s Plus, iPhone 6 and 6 Plus, and iPhone 6s, would stay on iOS 12 forever. iPhone SE would also be left behind if this report is true. This is surprising news, to say the least, especially as dropping so many iPhone generations with one iOS release is something that Apple has never done before. In the worst case, I expect Apple to abandon iPhone 5s, but giving up on the 6s and 6s Plus at this point doesn’t seem to ... ( read more )

Killing Off Windows 7 Will Be No Picnic, New Data Shows

Windows 7 is set to go dark in January 2020, and despite Microsoft’s efforts to convince users to upgrade to Windows 10, it looks like killing off the 2009 operating system will be really mission impossible. Market share data provided by NetMarketShare indicates that last month, Windows 7 actually increased instead of going down, despite the fact that in January this OS version officially entered its last 12 months of technical support. In other news, despite the clocking ticking on Windows 7, users aren’t really keen on upgrading to a newer version of Windows, which makes Microsoft’s mission of killing it off before the January 2020 significantly more difficult. The good news for Microsoft is that Windows 10 increased too, only that it looks like it’s eating up the market share of other Windows versions, and not of Windows 7. Windows 10 jumped from 39.22% in December to 40.90% last month, while Windows 7 reached 37.19%, up from 36.90%. Windows 7 hard to ... ( read more )

Microsoft Aware of Windows Update Bug, Fix Possibly Rolled Out Quietly

Microsoft confirmed it was aware of reports pointing to a bug breaking down the Windows Update service on Windows services, and judging from the latest feedback to users, the issue has already been fixed quietly. The lack of details regarding this new bug hitting Windows Update is painful for users across the world, as the service stopped working earlier this week due to what appeared to be a bad DNS configuration. At that point, it was believed that some ISPs, including Comcast and BT Broadband, used DNS settings that failed to connect to Microsoft’s update servers. While for some people switching to Google’s public DNS server did the trick and restored Windows Update, this temporary workaround failed to resolve the problem fo... ( read more )

The Future Is Now: Puma Reveals Self-Lacing Sneakers Known as Fi

If there’s one thing we all thought the future would bring, it’s almost certainly shoes that lace themselves automatically. After all, just about everyone has seen Back to the Future and the iconic shoes featured within. Well, popular athletic shoe company PUMA is actually jumping feet first into the self-lacing shoe market with its newly-announced Fit Intelligence shoe (Fi). Of course, Nike already released the Hyperadapt shoes that tie themselves, so PUMA is not the first. Still, these shoes sound like they’re packed with <a “no-callout” href=”//http://bit.ly/2TuObCJ features, and they definitely seem worth a look… Though the price might shock you a bit. Fit Intelligence Shoe (Fi) PUMA just unveiled these high-tech shoes today in Hong Kong, and they sound rather interesting. The main feature is the fact that the shoes don’t require you to lace them like a traditional pair of shoes would. Instead, they feature a cable that runs through the upper portion of the shoe. Once yo

YouTube Music Now Works With Sonos Speakers

If you own a Sonos speaker you can now listen to YouTube Music through it. That is if you subscribe to either YouTube Premium or YouTube Music Premium. This gives fans of Sonos speakers yet another streaming music service to consider using. What Is YouTube Music Anyway? As music streaming services go, YouTube Music is the new kid on the crowded block. In May 2018, Google launched YouTube Music and YouTube Premium . The former offers YouTube-centric music streaming, with the latter replacing YouTube Red. What differentiates YouTube Music from the competition is the onus on music videos. However, a YouTube Music Premium buys access to an audio-only mode (as well as ad-free listening and downloads). Putting it somewhat on a par with Spotify and Apple Music. Using YouTube Music on Your Sonos Speaker Now, as detailed on the Official YouTube Blog , YouTube Music is available on Sonos speakers. Essentially, this means anyone with a YouTube Music Premium or YouTube Premium subscription c

8 Popular Websites You Can Fix Using Chrome Extensions

The internet and its flagship websites have come a long way. Gone are the days when Amazon only sold books and Facebook was limited to a handful of schools. In the process, most of them have also become cluttered and too cumbersome to use. But thanks to a few alternative ways to browse them, we can enjoy an uncluttered experience. Therefore, here are eight Chrome extensions that let you fix some of the internet’s most popular websites like Amazon, Facebook, and YouTube. 1. Amazon Lite This extension gets rid of every unnecessary element from Amazon’s desktop website and leaves you with a clean design. That includes clearing up the endless rows of recommendations, advertisements, the huge offer banners, and more. Instead, Amazon Lite replaces it with a home page that only has a search bar at the top and a handful of links for quickly jumping over to your past orders, lists, cart items, etc. Also, when you look up a product, Amazon Lite presents you with a clear page with all the

7 Essential Privacy Settings for Chrome OS and Google Chrome

There’s a certain irony to Chromebooks. On one hand, Google is hardly a company most people would associate with privacy. On the other, Chromebooks are easy to lock down. With a few tweaks, they can provide a relatively safe way to get online. And that’s without installing anything. So how do you configure Chrome OS to guard your privacy? Here are some steps that are easy to take. These tips also apply if you’re using Google Chrome on Windows or MacOS, though the settings may vary. 1. Disable These “Privacy and Security” Settings Google has built several features into Chrome intended to improve your web browsing experience. The catch is that these services involve sending data to the company’s servers, which it can add to your user account. Google then analyzes your data in order to sell increasingly personalized ads. Some of these features send data to Google every time you enter a letter into the navigation bar. This means Google gets to see everything you search for and every

Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS to Arrive on February 7 with New Components from Ubuntu 18.10

The second point release of the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) operating system series is set to arrive as early as next week as a refreshed media to help users easily deploy the Linux OS on new computers. Dubbed "Bionic Beaver," Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is the latest LTS (Long Term Support) series of the widely used Linux-based operating system, supported by Canonical for at least 5 years, until April 2023, with maintenance and security updates, though Mark Shuttleworth promised a 10-year support for the Bionic Beaver. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS shipped with the Linux 4.15 kernel by default, and the first point release, Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS, which arrived on July 26, 2018, didn't bring updated kernel and graphics stacks due to Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish) being in development. Therefore, Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS should be the first release to change that. Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS to include a newer kernel and up-to-date components Now that the Ubuntu 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttle...

The Division 2 Beta to Offer a Glimpse at End-Game Content and Characters

Ubisoft revealed that the first private Beta for the upcoming  Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 will start on February 7 and will run until February 11, and it will have some very interesting content. Just like the first game in the series , The Division 2 is a PvE and PvP third-person shooter, which means that it’s online. And that online connectivity needs to be tested so that Ubisoft can adequately scale the infrastructure for it. It’s also a good way to demo the game to people that hare pre-order it and acts as a reward for their investment. Moreover, an undisclosed number of free slots are offered to people who sign up for the Beta. The official launch is just around the corner With just a month until the official March 15 th launch, Ubisoft is cutting it really close with this private Beta. It’s also possible that a public Beta could follow l... ( read more )

Anthem Demo Impressions: How It Stacks Up Against Destiny 2

The last weekend saw the pretty problematic debut of the Anthem VIP demo across PC, PS4, and Xbox One. You can read our impressions about the game but in this article I want to delve into how BioWare’s latest looter shooter stacks up against one of the already-established series in the genre – Destiny. Online shooters have been popular for a very long time. Some focused directly on competitive player-versus-Player action, like Counter-Strike, while others also offered some sort of Player-versus-Environment (PvE), such as Destiny 1 and 2. Anthem, the new role-playing shooter from BioWare, is the next big entry in the genre. Offering just a PvE experience, the game has a lot to prove. The developer already organized a closed alpha some time ago and this weekend the VIP demo made its debut, trying to convince those who pre-ordered the title that they made th... ( read more )

Mozilla Firefox 65 Is Now Available for All Supported Ubuntu Linux Releases

The recently released Mozilla Firefox 65 web browser is now available for download from the stable software repositories of all supported Ubuntu Linux operating system series. For Linux users, the Mozilla Firefox 65 release enhances the security of the web browser by enabling "Stack smashing" protection by default. "Stack smashing" may allow malicious actors to take control or corrupt a vulnerable application. Mozilla Firefox 65 also improves the tracking protection by offering users standard, stricter, and custom options for controlling online trackers via a redesigned Content Blocking section displayed in the site information panel. Furthermore, this release improves the built-in pop-up blocker to prevent multiple pop-up windows from opening at the same time when you visit a site, and adds support for the WebP i... ( read more )
