The world is hinging on the verge of an era driven entirely by tech

It is no secret that we have seen an incredible amount of modernisation around the world. This is especially true in recent years, as the beginning of the digital era has begun to unravel more and more, riding ongoing waves of interest and investment to get from point A to point B. Much like the rest of the world, there has been so much emphasis on digital and technological inclination in recent human history. And of course, much of this has come to life as the result of more awareness and understanding surrounding modernisation in all its many forms and the different ways that it is enhancing and vastly improving life as we know it and the world around us. 

Digital and technological innovation reign supreme

Technological advancement has been an incredible asset to us. The introduction and ongoing advancement and enhancement of technologies has definitely created an upward sense of absolute dedication and enthusiasm towards this exact design and intent. Today, digital and technological advancement and innovation reign supreme. And when one takes a step or two back to take a closer look at exactly how, when, where, and why this has happened, it makes perfect sense as to why that is. Technologies are designed and intended to transform the world in positive ways. And time and again, they prove themselves to be entirely effective and successful in this exact goal.

Every aspect of life and industry is impacted

There is a remarkable amount of attention to detail and overall emphasis focusing on technological impact. From the introduction of the latest digital marketing company (think SEO Sydney, for instance) to the advancement and enhancement of the most life changing technologies (i.e. nanotechnology, etc), technologies continue to meet and exceed any and all expectations time and again. There is truly so much genuine value in understanding that every aspect of life and corresponding industry has been and continues to be impacted by technologies, as well as knowing and wholeheartedly appreciating the fact that there is still so much left to be discovered and explored via technological impact and influence.

This is just the start of a tech driven future

We are today on the verge of an era that is entirely driven by technology. While this might seem like a strange thing to say, considering just how potently we are immersed in and surrounded by technologies today, the fact is that this is still just a taste of what is still yet to come. This is just the start of a technologically driven future. So long as interest and investment meet convenience and efficiency, there is going to continue to be further advancements and implementations that are driven forward, onward, and upward by the many technologies that either already exist and thrive today as well as those that are going to be introduced and built upon in the coming months and years, now and well into the future.

Free Star Wars game on Stadia and Easter egg on Google Search for May the Fourth

For the uninitiated, today is an unofficial Star Wars holiday known as May the Fourth, a reference to the line “may the force be with you.” However, all you need to know is that Stadia is giving away Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order to its Pro subscribers. Unfortunately, without a Pro subscription, you’ll be looking at paying $40 on Stadia to own the game.

That’s still a discount from its regular $60 retail price though. If you prefer to play it locally on your PC instead of streaming, then Steam has it discounted for $20 to celebrate the holiday as well. Console players can even pick it up even cheaper from Best Buy for the PS4/PS5 or Xbox One starting at $15.

Overall, picking it up from Stadia is the best deal, if you sign up for the Pro subscription for one month, because that will only set you back $10 in total. After your one-month trial is up, you can still play it for free, the quality will just be lowered to 1080p with stereo sound. You better hurry though, May the Fourth only lasts for one day, before you know it, it’ll be Revenge of the Fifth.

Whether you’re a Star Wars fan or not, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is a fun action game with challenging lightsaber combat. You follow the journey of Cal Kestis, voiced by Cameron Monaghan, as he tries to evade the Imperial Inquisition. Along the way, you meet some new friends and discover new Jedi powers as you battle a variety of enemies with the force and a customizable lightsaber.

If you’d like to celebrate the Star Wars holiday without dropping any coin, then check out the Easter egg in Google Search today. Just type in “Star Wars day”, “R2D2”, “May the 4th”, “ewok”, “stormtrooper”, “lightsaber”, or “C3PO” and you’ll be greeted with some festive Star Wars confetti in your browser.

Google rumored to be working on ultra-wideband support for the Pixel 6

Rumor has it that Google is working on ultra-wideband support for an upcoming phone. The tip comes from XDA-Developers editor-in-chief Mishaal Rahman, which gives it a little more weight. The guys over at XDA-Developers know their stuff, and when one of their informants drops some knowledge, we take notice.

Mishaal shared this tidbit over on his Twitter account saying, “I’ve just been informed that Google is testing support for Android 12’s Ultra-wideband (UWB) API on “raven”, one of the code-names that could belong to the GS101-powered next-gen Pixels.”

There’s a lot to unpack from that singular tweet. First off, Google is testing UWB support, which is a technology that allows for more precise location tracking and seamless communication. It is being used currently by the iPhone and Samsung’s Galaxy flagship phones. Most notably, it is what is powering Apple’s AirTag and Samsung’s Galaxy SmartTag+ personal tracking devices.

It’s possible that Google is working on its own personal tracking devices, or perhaps it will include support for trackers from third parties such as Samsung or Tile.

Additionally, Mishaal’s tweet confirms that Google is busy at work on a new phone with the code name “raven” powered by its own silicon processor, the GS101. If this turns out to be true, and many rumors point to it as being accurate, it would be one of the Pixel 6 phones, and the first Google smartphone powered by a chip that’s not made by Qualcomm.

For now, this is all rumors and speculation, we’ll have to wait until later this year to see what kind of surprises Google has been working on.

In fact, Mishaal even clarified by replying to his own tweet to say, “I don’t have any more details to share, such as confirmation that a next-gen Pixel will indeed support UWB, if Google is working on any UWB/BT trackers, whether “raven” is the Pixel 6 or 6 XL, etc.”

Verizon sells off AOL, Yahoo, Engadget, and more for $5 billion

Verizon announced that is selling off its Verizon Media division to Apollo Global Management in a deal worth $5 billion. The deal includes brands such as AOL and Yahoo, once juggernauts of the internet, as well as popular tech sites such as Engadget and Techcrunch.

While the transaction unloads Verizon’s media division on Apollo Global Management, the deal still has the telecom retaining a 10% stake in the company. So even though Verizon Media will be under new management, Verizon hasn’t completely cut ties with the company.

It’s uncertain what changes might be in store for the companies under the Verizon Media umbrella. Certainly, some will be cut or merged in with other underperformers in the portfolio. Regardless, we’re not likely to see much change until the deal officially closes in the second half of 2021.

Despite receiving $4.25 billion in cash and $750 million in preferred interests, the deal sees Verizon losing quite a bit compared to its initial investments.

Originally, Verizon paid 4.4 billion for AOL and $4.5 billion for Yahoo. It seems the investments didn’t quite pay off, which is why the telecom is finally saying goodbye and redirecting its focus on its network.

Best unlocked phones under $150

AndroidGuys

When it comes to purchasing a mobile device, buying an unlocked phone might be one of the smartest routes to take. There are plenty of reasons to consider an unlocked phone, including freedom to select and change carriers.

While it’s tempting to lump your phone’s cost into a monthly cell phone bill, doing this for multiple people can get expensive. A family of four could be looking at hundreds of dollars each month in phone costs alone.

Given that technology outpaces consumer demands, most of us don’t really need a brand new flagship phone. In fact, even the devices that are 1-2 years old are more than sufficient for the typical user. That’s largely where we are here in this list of best unlocked budget phones.

If you’re shopping around for a new phone, and want to work with a tight budget, we’ve got good news. There is a lot to choose from as it pertains to unlocked handsets that don’t cost all that much.

We’ve gathered up a handful of attractive options that fall in the price range of $150 or less. Here, we showcase a variety of phone makers and models with some of the standout features.

How we Decided

We set a few basic guidelines in place to help consolidate the list of candidates. The models that follow all had to adhere to a couple of pre-requisites. Each phone has to run Android 10 or newer and have at least 2GB RAM. Additionally, we trimmed our list to devices with batteries of 3,000mAh or higher capacity.

This means the two most current versions of software, a decent amount of memory for basic tasks, and battery that lasts through a day or more.

Alcatel 1S (2020)

This Alcatel handset has a number of features that we most consumers appreciate, including a large (6.22-inch) display, a triple-camera system, and long-lasting battery.

Running a stock version of Android 10, the device is powered by an octa-core MediaTek processor with 3GB RAM. Storage is pegged at 32GB; however, a microSD expansion card slot allows for up to 128GB of external media.

Other features worth pointing out include an FM radio, 3.5mm headphone jack, fingerprint sensor, and face unlocking.

Purchase the Alcatel 1S (2020)

Blu G90

Prettier than most phones at this price point, the Blu G90 is an all-around solid device for casual users. It runs a semi-current version of Android (10), and has a big display at 6.5-inches.

Under the hood we locate an octa-core processor with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, both of which are a smidge higher than others in this price range. Rounding things out are a triple-camera system and a 4,000mAh battery which is good for upwards of two days per charge.

Purchase the Blu G90

Nokia 3.4

A great place to start for people buying their first smartphone, the Nokia 3.4 runs Android 10 and offers up a respectable amount of hardware for the money. It’s powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 processor with 3GB RAM and 64GB storage; a microSD card slot allows for another 512GB of external media.

Key features include a 6.39-inch HD+ display, a dual-camera (13-megapixel and 5-megapixel) system bolstered by a 2-megapixel depth sensor, a front-facing 8-megapixel camera, and 4,000mAh battery. Also awesome is Nokia’s commitment to three years of monthly security updates and two years of software upgrades.

Purchase the Nokia 3.4

Motorola Moto E (2020)

We absolutely love what Motorola does with its Android phones. They run a bare bones software experience that leaves things the way Google intended, and feature affordably priced alternatives to flagships.

Here, you get a big (6.2-inch) screen, a very modern build of Android (10), and respectable smattering of mid-range hardware. Key details include an octa-core processor, 32GB internal storage, and a microSD card slot for external media.

Other things we appreciate? A water resistant coating, USB Type-C charging, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

EZVIZ C6CN Pro Security Camera Review

Jason England
-
0

Whether it’s keeping an eye on your home, your pets, or your kids–a connected security camera is one of the most essential smart home products these days. Fortunately, there are many to choose from, and EZVIZ was nice enough to send out one of its latest for review.

Design

The design of the EZVIZ C6CN is its biggest advantage. It uses a stationary base paired with a rotating camera. This allows it to rotate up to 340 degrees horizontally as well as 120 degrees vertically, making it quick and easy to get the perfect camera angle. You can also move it freely when using the app, giving you a convenient way to view the entire room.

Overall, the EZVIZ C6CN is lightweight and has a small footprint making it easy to place around your home. There is even a mounting plate if you want to attach it to the wall or ensure it won’t get knocked over.

Powering the EZVIZ C6CN is simple, thanks to the micro USB port on the back of the base. It also comes with an extra-long USB cable (10ft.) and a power brick in the box. One of the benefits of going with USB, is that I was even able to power it off of a power bank when I tried.

On the back, there is a LAN port next to the micro USB connector, in case you want to run the C6CN wired for a more reliable connection. However, I had no issues when using it on WiFi during the past few weeks.

When it comes to storage, the C6CN offers a local option by inserting a micro SD card. The slot is hidden, however, and requires you to tilt the camera up to reveal it.

Which leads us to another fantastic feature on the EZVIZ camera, and that’s the ability to use a physical privacy switch, for those times when you want to ensure the camera cannot view or record you. When enabled, the camera lens will tilt until it is hidden behind the plastic globe making it impossible to see or record anything.

Finally, there is the LED light on the front, which can be disabled, and the microphones and speakers. In my experience, the mic was very sensitive at picking up noises and the sound quality from the speaker was surprisingly good.

User experience

Setting up the EZVIZ C6CN and connecting it to the internet was as easy as can be. I had no issues and was using the camera in no time. A lot of this is due to how good the EZVIZ app is, because without a well-functioning app, it doesn’t matter how good the hardware is.

One of the things that impressed me most was how fast you could open the app and view the live video. Other connected cameras, such as the Arlo I own, can take upwards of 10 seconds to get to the live feed after I open the app. The EZVIZ C6CN, on the other hand, loads the live video feed in two seconds or less.

Although, it’s not all good news, it could take nearly a minute for me to get the notification that motion had been detected. At least it begins recording immediately, but it would have been nice to receive the notification more quickly as well.

When viewing the recordings, the app lays them out nicely with a timeline for the day showing when motion was detected and video was recorded. You can then view the recordings and choose to save them to your album, where the video can be easily accessed, as well as having the option to save to your mobile device, share it to another app, or delete it.

After using the camera for a couple of weeks I had around 30GB free on my 128GB card. According to EZVIZ, once the card is full it will begin overwriting old footage. So make sure you back up anything valuable right away if you have a lot of activity on your camera.

Cloud storage options

Beyond the localized storage option, EZVIZ also provides a cloud-based storage option. The EZVIZ CloudPlay service starts at $3.99 a month for one camera and 72 hours of saved footage. EZVIZ also offers plans that cover seven days and up to four cameras for $8.99 a month, or a 30-day play for up to four cameras for $15.99 a month.

However, if you only plan on using a single camera, then the prices drop down to $5.99 a month for the seven-day plan or $10.99 a month for the 30-day plan.

Video quality

The C6CN features a 1080p camera, and video quality is more than acceptable. I was able to easily identify faces in bright lighting when viewing the recorded footage, and exposure was balanced well.

In low lighting, the footage became quite grainy and it could be harder to make out finer detail such as faces, especially if the person is moving.

However, once it gets dark enough the IR lights will kick on though making it much easier to see more detail in the image, and is a huge help.

Final thoughts

The EZVIZ C6CN is a great little camera for $60 that offers localized recording, night vision, 1080p video, two-way audio, a privacy shutter, and the ability to rotate and tilt the camera.

There’s even an option to subscribe to a cloud storage plan, if you need it. My only criticism would be that it lags a bit when notifying you about motion detection. However, at least it records immediately and the live video feed loads almost instantly.

BLUETTI EB70: Must-have portable power station for campers and laptop owners is on a hot sale

AndroidGuys

From disasters like wildfires or the winter storm that paralyzed Texas earlier, to outdoor activities like camping or overlanding, there’s not always an electrical outlet when you want one, and there are few thoughts so fundamentally terrifying to the modern people — things able to shake a man to his core — than being without power when you need it. That’s why it’s vital to own a portable power station. 

As the spring wound down, after the huge success of their crowdfunding for the flagship model EP500/Pro, the lithium power storage pioneer BLUETTI has released another much smaller portable power station for a larger crowd – The 716Wh, 700watts EB70. And a 200W foldable solar panel called SP200. This combination will give you an eco-friendly solar generator that can provide power for everything from smartphones, laptops to appliances.

Design

The EB70 has a fire-proof ABS + PC material case plastic exterior, available in three colors as Mint Green, Steel Gray and Camine. Rubber feet underneath, and a solid foldable carry handle. The handle’s comfortable enough (important when you need to carry it around), and balance is extremely good. With 4 AC outlets and up to 700W continuous pure sine wave power, this unit would come in handy when you are on the road or camping. Gives you the exact same(or even better) power as you get from your home outlets.

Hardware: Battery pack, Input & Output

Main Specs of BLUETTI EB70:

BLUETTI EB70 is packed with a 716Wh lithium-iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery pack – one of the most stable and durable battery chemistries in the industry. With BLUETTI’s self-made BMS controller, the whole unit can last over 2500+ charge cycles before the detained capacity drops to 80%.

There are a decent array of AC/DC outlets on the front panel of EB70, makes it possible to run almost all your 5V/12V loads and basic AC appliances for the road.

100W USB-C x2: The Ultimate Recharge Center For Laptop Users

Working is hard, and when your laptop is close to dying, it’s even harder. Fortunately, BLUETTI EB70 can save the day when you’re low on battery and outlets are out of reach.

There are already plenty of USB power banks for laptops out there in the market, but BLUETTI has brought this to a whole new level.

Featured with two 100W PD3.0 USB-C ports, the EB70 can charge almost all USB-C laptops at full speed. For the flagship 16-inch MacBook Pro (99.8Wh), it can provide up to 6 charges. And last but least, the two 100W USB-C outlets are independent, meaning they can recharge two laptops at full speed, simultaneously. The total output power is up to 200W! Not only you can get rid of those bulky laptop adapters, but also have the fastest power source to juice up your productivity tools.

Recharge: Flexible 4 Ways To Choose

You can charge up the BLUETTI EB70 via solar, car, gas-fired generator or with the included AC/DC adapter. Here are the specs:

·200W MPPT solar charge  (SP200 solar panel is not included) – 4 hours charge time

·Included 200W AC adapter (25.2V, 8A) – 4 hours charge time

·12V/24 Car charge via cig-lighter port – 4~8 hours charge time

·gas-fire generator – 4~6 hours charge time

For solar charging, the BLUETTI contains an advanced MPPT solar charge controller. Plug some solar panels into the 8mm input port on the front of the unit and you’re good to go – although you do have to buy their SP200 foldable solar panels separately (or use whatever panel you have, as long as the open circuit voltage falls in the range of 12~28V).

Price: Premier at $499, Unbeatable Cost-performance

The EB70 is considered as an all-round upgrade successor of BLUETTI’s classic AC50S(300watt/500wh, Now at $399 on Amazon). For EB70’s debut on their new website bluettipower.com, BLUETTI has offered a straight $100 OFF coupon, makes every customer can get the EB70 for only USD $499!

Since Jackery is only offering 518wh/500W and Ecoflow’s offering 576Wh/600W for the exact same price. Among these top brands, it’s safe to say that BLUETTI EB70 is undoubtedly the best choice for its price range.

Priced about one-third of Samsung’s counterpart, this phone is no less capable for many users. It’s powered by Android 10, comes with a 6.4-inch screen, and features its own digital stylus.

Motorola leaves Android largely untouched, a feature we’ve come to really appreciate. Pair that with a solid mid-range bundle of hardware, and it’s a great value proposition. The 48-megapixel triple-camera captures ultra-wide and macro images.

Stunning in design, this phone packs a punch, too. Among the most powerful models in this price range, you get a massive 6.52-inch display, 4GB RAM, and a triple-megapixel camera.

One of our favorite features is the 5,000mAh battery which pushes most users beyond two days of usage. And when it’s time to charge, you won’t spend much time plugged in. That 18W fast charging is pretty damn quick.

TCL 10L

For your money you’ll get a generous screen (6.53-inches), dual rear cameras, and 64GB worth of internal storage. Need more room? Toss in a microSD card and boost up another 128GB. Other standout features include 6GB RAM (yep, six) and a 4,000mAh battery. Oh, and there’s a 3.5mm headphone jack as well.

Powered by Android 10, it’s about as close to stock Android as you’ll get. Compatible with GSM carriers, including AT&T and T-Mobile, it’s also certified for use on Verizon’s LTE network.

It runs a semi-current version of Android (10), has a big display at 6.5-inches, and it comes with a 5,100mAh battery that’s good for a few days at a time.

Under the hood we locate a 2GHz octa-core processor with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage, both of which are a smidge higher than others in this price range. Rounding things out are a quad-camera system with AI smarts, wireless charging, and unlocking via face or fingerprint. READ OUR REVIEW
