IPhone users, here's a simple tip to do every week

2020-10-25T17:14:00.000-07:00

I remember a time when everyone wanted advice on how to make their computer run faster or keep attackers away from their data. Today, devices have changed - they are smartphones. But the questions remain the same.

IPhones, in particular, fall into this category. Maybe it's because people keep their iPhones longer than Android devices, or maybe because they get more updates, so they suffer more from their machine slowing down. I'm not sure why, but there are ten times more iPhone users who want tips on how to make their device run faster than their Android counterparts (which is surprising considering the number of users Android and the wide range of hardware).

IPhone users are also worried about hackers getting their hands on their data. So here's a simple tip that will help iPhone users kill two birds with one stone: speed up their device while making it more secure. To do this, restart the system every week. Yes, once a week. Set yourself a reminder if necessary.

Yes, it is that easy. Not only does this clean up system RAM, but it also helps protect against remote exploits by making it harder for hackers to maintain control of your iPhone. Because hacking attempts hardly survive restarts.

So how do you restart your iPhone?

Step 1: If you have Face ID, press and hold the side button and either volume button until the power off slider appears. If you have Touch ID, press and hold the top or side button until the power off slider appears.

Step 2: Drag the slider to the right to turn off.

Step 3: Wait until your device is completely off and then restart it by pressing the top button or the side button and holding it until you see the Apple logo.

Step 4: Enter your access code to activate the Face ID / Touch ID function.

Security: the FBI supports a fitness app rather greedy in personal data

2020-03-31T11:03:00.000-07:00

The FBI is currently promoting a whole new fitness app. Called FBIFitTest app, it tracks the physical training of agents of the federal agency. Problem, according to some experts, the app collects far too much personal data. The number of permissions requested is also far too high.

Surprisingly, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the famous FBI is currently promoting its own fitness app. Called FBIFit Test, it invites users to discover and try out the office workers' physical training programs as it is called.

Only very quickly, several associations defending the rights of citizens wanted to alert users on certain points. The Fight For The Future association, for example, claims that the FBI application requires far too much access rights for a simple fitness app. On Android, it can collect GPS data, access Bluetooth and Wi-Fi networks as well as data from the SD card in read and write mode, or even prevent the smartphone from going to sleep. All of these permissions are listed on the Google Play Store.

Fifteen Android apps infected with a dangerous virus

2019-10-25T08:21:00.000-07:00

The British security company Sophos has just released a new report in which it lists fifteen or so potentially dangerous Android apps for smartphones. Despite Google's selection and security procedures for its Play Store, the apps pointed to by the Sophos report were on Google's app store.

These applications are actually infected by a malware virus that broadcasts ads on the smartphones on which they are installed. Unfortunately, it is quite complicated to uninstall them. Indeed, the icon of some apps disappears once the download is complete, which makes it difficult to uninstall them.

In other cases, the infected applications copy the icon of other legitimate applications which makes the distinction difficult. For example, a fraudulent application copied the icon and name of the Google Play Store or pretended to be an "update" app, displaying the Android symbol.

According to the security company, nearly 1.3 million smartphones have downloaded at least one of these applications and would be infected by the virus. After making this discovery, Sophos warned Google about the problem last July. The Mountain View firm assured that it has since resolved the problem.

Pinned applications are:

Flash On Calls & Messages

SavExpense
QR Artifact
Find Your Phone
Scavenger – speed
Auto Cut Out Pro
Background Cut Out

Auto Cut Out 2019

What to do if one is infected?

If you downloaded any of these apps, it may still be on your phone. You've certainly faced a lot of advertising on your smartphone since this summer. Remember to take a look at the applications installed on your phone in the dedicated settings section - not just on the desktop.

Check that each one is legitimate. If this is not the case, you can always try to delete them from this list. If you do not succeed, unfortunately you will not have to go through the factory settings reset.

As the security company Sophos so aptly points out in its report, it is often a good idea to look at the comments of applications before downloading. A must, especially when you do not know the application or its developer. This could prevent you from finding yourself in a delicate situation.

Google says it has reached "quantum supremacy" with a calculation made in three minutes instead of 10,000 years

2019-10-25T08:11:00.000-07:00

After the space conquest in the 1950s, a new technological and scientific race is underway: the one towards the quantum supremacy. After leaks in September, Google engineers and researchers at the University of Santa Barbara said they reached this milestone by performing a calculation with a quantum processor in just over three minutes (200 seconds) that would have taken 10,000 years to the most powerful of the current supercomputers. But his big American competitor, IBM, relativizes the announcement, saying that the calculation can be done in three days with a traditional computer. The White House, it has already blew champagne, very happy ahead of China, which invests massive resources in quantum computing.

What is quantum supremacy?

A reminder for all of us mortals, quantum computing is based on the principle of superposition. Instead of using bits that can only take two values (0 and 1), quantum processors use qubits that, at the microscopic scale and under extreme cold conditions, have an infinity of possible states (such as the Schrödinger cat both dead and alive). "It is a parallelism that allows for multiple calculations at once," summarizes Jean-Paul Delahaye, researcher in computer science. "Quantum supremacy" is a concept that dates back to the 1980s. This is the point at which quantum computers will be able to solve problems that would take too much time for traditional computers, thanks to a sufficient number of qubits.

Has Google reached this milestone?

Google responds in the affirmative, because according to its measurements, its processor Sycomore, which counts 54 qubits, realized 300 seconds a calculation which would have taken 10,000 years at most powerful supercomputers current. But IBM does not agree, saying that by coupling large amounts of storage and RAM, the calculation would take only 2.5 days, not 10,000 years. Until experts decide, it should be noted that the calculation chosen by Google, which is linked to a generation of random numbers, can not be generalized to other tasks such as the factorization of large numbers. We are far from a universal quantum computer capable of performing various calculations. In an editorial, Nature specifies that it will probably be one or more decades before quantum computers have an impact on our daily lives.

What will it serve?

Google, for its part, compares its breakthrough to the Wright brothers' first powered flight in 1903, which lasted only 12 seconds. It is, in short, a proof of concept. What will be its practical applications? According to Google, quantum computing could advance artificial intelligence at high speed. Advances in molecular modeling are already paving the way for new materials to design more efficient batteries, or catalysts that reduce carbon emissions during fertilizer manufacturing. Quantum computers could also disrupt cryptography and render obsolete our credit cards, which rely on the RSA algorithm to secure transactions. To counter this threat, research in resistant cryptography has already taken the lead. "It is even more advanced than the quantum computer," says physicist Daniel Hennequin.

Huawei P30 Pro test: The new champion of photography

2019-04-27T08:08:00.000-07:00

War is declared. A whole month after Samsung has introduced its Galaxy S10, Huawei - the world's second largest manufacturer after Samsung - draws the P30 and P30 Pro. Two smartphones with a photographic proposal as audacious as it is impressive.

Huawei had already done so last year, and proposes to push even further the promises of the P20 Pro by redefining the rules of photography. Words in the air? Skilled marketing campaign? On the contrary.

For two years now, the Chinese manufacturer has taken the strip and puts on the market (at an unsustainable pace) smartphones all chiadés each other. And this P30 Proque we test today is no exception. Better still, it enhances the claims of Huawei in terms of high-end smartphone with two fingers to be flawless.

A Huawei Mate 20 X 5G compatible appears on the Internet

2019-04-27T08:07:00.002-07:00

While all eyes are on the Mate X, Huawei is preparing to offer a 5G chip to its previous models.

It's a ride that we'll have to get used to. Preparing for the future, many are the builders who already have or are about to decline their glories of yesteryear with 5G sauce. And if the information published on Weibo is accurate, this is particularly the case of the Huawei Mate 20 X.

An unchanged smartphone, but compatible 5G

Equipped with a 7.2-inch OLED display, the Mate 20 X has a Kirin 980 pair and 8 GB of RAM to ensure fluidity. The battery is nevertheless demoted from 5,000 to 4,200 mAh, despite the additional energy drain assumed by a permanent connection to the 5G.

Yes, because you will understand, the specificity of this new product is to include the Balong 5000 chip, guaranteeing Huawei products access to the "network of tomorrow". Needless to say, this addition will generously increase a price tag already positioned at € 799 in Germany - the Mate 20 X is not available in France. Expected release in the course of the summer, just to leave the field open to a certain Mate X.

The news that IOS 13, the next mobile of apple

2019-04-27T08:06:00.003-07:00

The next version of Apple's mobile operating system promises great news, according to the first indiscretions.

Major Operating System (OS) versions are still arousing curiosity and even impatience. This is the case for OS for computers, such as Windows or macOS, but also, and even more currently for their "mobile" counterparts like Android or iOS, all of which are the subject of multiple rumors, speculation and leaks during the months before their release. Today, it is the 9to5Mac site that unveils some iconic features of the next version of iOS, numbered 13, which will be officially presented at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2019 in early June. And to believe these first revelations, the novelties will be numerous.

First, and as expected, iOS will have a dark mode (Dark mode) generalized, which can apply to all apps. Remember to those who do not know yet that the dark theme, very fashionable at the moment combines two advantages: it reduces eye strain, and it reduces energy consumption - thus preserving the battery - on devices to Oled screen, which are inherently devoid of backlight system.

Another novelty eagerly awaited, and even claimed by the iPad users: the multi-window. In apps that display multiple windows, it will be possible to move, overlay and even dock these blocks - "cards" as Apple calls them - in different areas of the screen, just like what the project offers. open source PanelKit. A practical feature in apps that use tool palettes, such as for drawing. Beware, it is not multiwind between apps for as much: because if iOS is of course multitasking, we will always see at most two apps simultaneously on the screen.

Less dramatic, but very useful in everyday life, iOS 13 will offer a function of cancellation of action much more convenient than the current method of shaking the device. Now, just drag three fingers forward or back of the virtual keyboard to cancel the last action performed. In a similar register, we can now easily select several elements - in a list, for example - using again several fingers. Not as comfortable with a keyboard and a mouse, as on the computer, but very appreciable anyway! Still in the ergonomic chapter, Apple will make the display of the sound volume adjustment much more discreet than currently, so as not to hinder the viewing of a particular video.

In the apps department, Apple will improve Mail. From now on, messages will be easily categorized into different categories (business newsletters, shopping, travel, etc.), as other independent email providers such as Gmail already do. It was time ! There would even be a section to read later. In addition, in its iOS version 13, the Safari web browser will better manage the display of sites according to the definition of the screen of the device, automatically switching to a "desktop" mode when no tablet version is proposed for example. Also in the display chapter, iOS 13 will easily add new fonts through the Settings page.

Of course, it is likely that iOS still has many new features. But it will be necessary to wait for the official presentation - or other leaks - to find out more ...

Become a web editor and earn money

2019-04-27T08:06:00.000-07:00

Do you like to write? And if you were told that you could make money by writing. Not bad is not it ? Discover the profession of web editor that will allow you to practice a job at home, on the internet, without long training, and especially without large initial investment. A simple computer, a word processor, an internet connection, and you are ready to pocket your first euros.

What is the job of web editor?

The job of web editor is to write content for the internet. Content that will appeal to your client's audience as well as Google to improve your SEO. The missions of the web editor are as follows:

- write a blog post, a sponsored article ...

- write a sales page

- create content for the pages of a website (home page, about ...)

- design the text of a product sheet

- create social network posts

- optimize texts for SEO

- design a newsletter

- write tests and reviews on various products

- do storytelling to tell the story of a company (you know, like the story of Steve Jobs in his garage)

- write an ebook that will serve as a product of appeal to collect emails

- publish comments, testimonials and customer reviews (yes, reviews on the internet are often a bit phony and written by web editors ...!)

Its role is to document, group ideas, find a different and relevant angle and then write according to the constraints imposed by the client. He will have to write in order to incite the click, to know how to catch the attention of the Net surfer and to retain his audience. He will find a catchy title or an introductory hat that will suit the target perfectly.

The worst enemy of the web editor is copy and paste. Indeed, by taking such a shortcut to write faster, it exposes his client to a heavy penalty from Google, which will recognize duplicate content and no longer index the site. So do not let yourself go easy and continue writing in a natural way to the delight of your readers.

What are the qualities of the web editor?

Know how to write

Obviously, you have to know how to write and without spelling mistakes! Stay alert to turn phrases, grammatical errors, bad chords. Make simple and powerful sentences instead of getting lost in complicated metaphors. We are talking here about web writing and not literature. It will be necessary to privilege short and striking sentences and ventilated paragraphs for a better legibility. Indeed, we must not forget that the majority of Internet users now consult sites from their smartphone. Ideally, the sentences should be about 20 words long. So finished the lyric flights!

To be curious

But beyond that, being a web editor requires a great deal of curiosity to tackle subjects as varied as gardening, decoration, human resources, tourism or fashion. It takes an open mind and great flexibility to adapt to several themes in a single day.

It is possible to specialize in a thematic (finance, legal, medical ...) if you are an expert in a field. You will be able to price your articles much more expensive and you will lose less time in searches.

Find the right words

You will have to find the right words to fit your target. You must understand the problem of your audience and find the words that will reassure and inspire confidence. Web writing should be fluid and easy to read, to fit the level of language of each.

Write quickly

It is necessary to be productive not to spend 6 hours to write an article of 500 words. Otherwise, you would not really be profitable. Remember that you get paid by the word ... Deadlines are often tight, so you'll have to be efficient.

Good analytical ability

After having long researched on the subject, the web editor will have to synthesize all his readings, with the help of his general knowledge, to write a relevant article and especially not to rehash existing sites.

In order to be better referenced, Google appreciates new texts, different points of view, so that your articles bring a real added value to the user.

Master the web

When writing for the web, you need a good knowledge of how it works and the behavior of users. You have to understand what the user is looking for in order to turn him into a customer.

The mastery of web marketing will save you time and make quality articles that customers will appreciate.

It will also be useful to master the basics of HTML as well as CMS such as WordPress or Prestashop if you have to publish articles on the net yourself.

Be passionate about writing

And above all, you have to be passionate about writing, because writing and searching for information can seem like a real chore when it becomes your daily life.

The documentation part is very heavy, because often the subject is more or less unknown to you. Examples: new trends for your bathroom, what type of barbecue to choose, the side effects of tobacco, which destination to choose for a holiday in the sun in February ... The topics are as varied as there are websites. It takes a lot of resources and does not have a failure of inspiration to deal with such many and different subjects.

Do not have an ego

This point seems minimal, but it is the basis of the profession. In many cases, the web editor does not write in his own name. He writes for a site and sells his copyright at the same time. He must therefore make a perfect job by not signing it with his name. The web editor writes for others. However, you can find sites that collaborate with you in the long term and that mention you as part of the team. But these cases are rather rare.

The best sites to find your first customers

Many sites and platforms allow you to offer your services to write articles on a wide variety of topics.

These platforms or jobbing sites all have roughly the same operation. They centralize ads from customers and managers of websites looking for web editors. You register at home to access the ads. For some, you will have to pass an evaluation test.

The platform collects the funds and gives you your income, with a commission that varies from one to three depending on the sites. The platform has the advantage of securing payment, thus avoiding bad payers or latecomers. These platforms have many customers and can provide you with a satisfactory income if you multiply orders.

Other equally effective solutions

In addition to writing platforms, you can also offer your services directly to clients. You will have to build your image, have a site, a blog or a portfolio to present your work. Sign up on social media as a writer to apply to companies.

It will be necessary to find you to stand out, because the competition is strong in this field. Always deliver quality content, even on topics as simple as a lawn mower. Stay professional while respecting deadlines.

You will be able to propose to your customers a whole range of services: to write his texts during the creation of his Internet site, to design his weekly newsletters, to feed his blog, to animate his community on the social networks, and even to write his scripts for a webinar. In short, all this, I already said at the beginning of the article.

Once in the breach, you will see the range of possibilities expand as you progress. You will become a true consultant for companies and webmasters who do not have the time or the talent to handle the editorial aspect.

What is the salary of a web editor?

It's pretty hard to give a flat rate for an item. Many criteria define the cost of an article. The calculation is the number of words, the quality required and the complexity of the subject.

Customers will often ask you for pricing for a 500-word article (the most classic), 1,000 words or 2,000 words for feature articles or buying guides, and maybe even 5,000 to 20 ebooks. 000 words, depending on the purpose.

The remuneration will depend on your experience and your level as well. In the beginning, you will earn a little per item (around 1 cent the word ... yes, you read correctly), and the web editorial will only be a supplement of income. But by professionalising your profile, and with experience, you will come to have a real salary, just by writing.

Training and knowledge to become a web editor

We do not write for the web as we write a novel. Web writing remains a marketing technique above all, which aims to seduce visitors, turn them into customers and make your text Google-friendly. You will have to learn the specificities of web writing, constraints and SEO (SEO). Training is available on the net to update and develop these skills.

To really earn money as a web editor, you have to master the use of keywords, tags, metadata, long tail, internal mesh ... These words that seem barbaric will quickly become very familiar and will serve support for your texts. Tools are developed to help you refine your SEO. This is the case of Yoast SEO who will analyze the structure of your article as well as its weak points.

What status to be a web editor?

The web editor can be salaried or freelance. You can work from home with the status of auto-entrepreneur. Easy to set up, it will allow you to bill your items and your customers legally. Web writers do not have a lot of expenses and almost no investment to make. This status of auto-entrepreneur is therefore the most appropriate for this profession.

Earn money from yougov

2019-04-27T08:05:00.002-07:00

What is YouGov?

You can imagine, but I repeat, YouGov is a site of paid surveys quite old since it dates back to the 2000s. Founded in the United Kingdom, this site is present in twenty countries and is one of the references in paid surveys with more than 95% of its users satisfied.

Specialist questionnaires, YouGov works with major brands and collects consumer opinions. YouGov can ask you for your opinion on a product, an advertising campaign, services or even your political choices.

In general, you will not receive more than 2 to 3 surveys per week with a maximum of 15 per month. It's not like other sites in the industry that flood you with SPAM with dozens of emails a day. If you work properly and take the time to do things right, you will need 5 to 20 minutes to complete an investigation.

How is one paid?

First and foremost, you must cross the 50$ threshold to claim a payment equal to 5000 points. YouGov only pays 50 dollars. In other words, you will not have a payment every week. When you exceed this threshold, you can receive a bank transfer or Paypal but also Kadeos gift tickets.

My opinion:

My opinion is obviously positive you'll understand. For me YouGov, it's 100% reliable and 0% scam! I particularly liked the ergonomic and pleasant site with which we understand immediately what to do. Do not look for 3 hours how it works, everything is perfectly clear. For registration, it's just as easy and in 2 minutes, your account will be created. Note the reliability of customer service that will answer you quickly in case of problems unlike other ghost sites.

But two things for me are really great: it's about sponsorship and polls. Oh! First of all, you have seen that the sponsorship could be remunerative with 1 euro per godson but the best thing is that from the moment you start to answer a survey, nothing will prevent you to finish it. Why am I saying that? Simply because other unscrupulous sites make you start surveys and suddenly, they tell you that your profile does not match and end the questionnaire. In the end, you worked 10 to 15 minutes for nothing! Admit it's annoying. Well with YouGov, you will not have these problems.

My only reservation is the payment deadlines. I assure you that with YouGov you will be paid, it's a certainty. But I regret that the payment deadlines are long enough. It is possible to wait 3 to 4 weeks to cash in your winnings or receive your gift vouchers.

How to register?

You are convinced and you want to try the experiment? All you have to do is register. To start answering the questionnaires, simply go to the YouGov registration page. In 3 minutes you can start earning your first euros on the net. Easy!

Programming Languages Loved, Hated and Best Paid for Developers

2019-04-27T08:04:00.005-07:00

Here are the most popular programming languages and what developers can expect to gain by mastering them.

The Stack Overflow Knowledge Sharing Site has released its annual 2019 Developer Survey, which reveals the most popular and highest-paying programming languages in the world and the United States.

If you're a programmer loving Rust, Python, and TypeScript, you're not alone, according to Stack Overflow's 2019 survey, which surveyed 90,000 developers around the world on their favorite, least-favored, and favorite languages.

The youngest languages are popular

The 10 preferred languages are Rust, Python, Microsoft TypeScript, Kotlin, WebAssembly, Swift, Clojure, Elixir, Go, and C #. These languages all have in common that they have been created in the last 10 years or so, with the exception of Microsoft C # and Python.

It also seems that developers are showing little attraction for older languages. The 10 least popular development languages all appeared more than 20 years ago.

The most feared language is Visual Basic for Applications (VBA), followed by Objective-C, PHP, Erlang, Ruby, R, C ++ and Java. Python, becoming one of the most popular, is also the "most wanted" language for the third year in a row, according to the Stack Overflow study.

Other languages that developers would like to learn, but do not use yet, include JavaScript, Go, TypeScript, Kotlin, Rust, C ++, WebAssembly, and Java. According to a SlashData report, JavaScript and Java are already among the languages with the most developers in the world (11.7 and 7.6 million respectively).

The Stack Overflow survey also provides an overview of remuneration according to the development languages under control. Worldwide, Clojure is associated with the highest salaries, with an average of $ 90,000. Other languages associated with salaries over $ 70,000 include F #, Go, Scala, Elixr, Ruby, WebAssemnbly, Rust and Erlang.

The highest wages reported in the United States are far above the median overall wages for all languages included in the survey. HTML / CSS and C # are related to the lowest wages in the United States.

For Web developers, Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio Studio are the most popular development environments. Just over half of mobile developers say they use Google's Android Studio and the same proportion say they use Visual Studio Code.

download and install Android Studio

2019-04-27T08:03:00.002-07:00

Are you starting to develop your own Android apps? So you'll need Android Studio, the development environment created by Google. Follow our tutorial to learn how to download and install it.

Are you tired of being a user and want to go to the other side of the mirror to create your first applications? Have you already started learning a compatible programming language?

So all you have to do is get started. For this, you will necessarily need Android Studio. But what is it, and how can you install it? We will guide you.

What is Android Studio?

Android Studio is the development environment directly provided by Google to create applications for its mobile operating system. A development environment is software that immediately provides all the tools you need to program, compile, and test your application before launching.

Thus, Android Studio provides an improved text editor to allow you to create your code and access all Google APIs, but also an integrated compiler to be able to create your final application, and all it takes to test this application by through an emulator or by sending it directly to your mobile phone.

Android Studio allows you to test everything on any device in the Android universe, from the many types of smartphones available to Wear OS or Android TV. Once your project is complete and tested, you can send it directly to Google for publication on the Play Store.

How to install Android Studio

Install Android Studio on Windows

The procedure is very simple. First you need to download the latest version of Android Studio from the Google site. This is a simple .exe like any application.

When installing, do not touch the default settings. At the end of this one, you can import a previously made configuration from your development environment. On a first installation, select "do not import". Let yourself be guided, and you will soon be ready to embark on Android development.

Install Android Studio on Mac

First download Android Studio as a .dmg file from the Google site. Launch it once, then drag Android Studio into your Applications folder.

The configuration is then the same as for Windows.

Install Android Studio on Linux

On Linux, you will first have to download the dedicated .zip file from the Google site. Uncompress the file in a suitable place, such as / usr / local / or / opt / if you want the application to be shared locally with other users.

To launch Android Studio, launch the terminal, move to the / android-studio / bin / directory and run studio.sh.

On a 64-bit Ubuntu machine, you will also have additional libraries. To install them, run the following command:

"Sudo apt-get install libc6: i386 libncurses5: i386 libstdc ++ 6: i386 lib32z1 libbz2-1.0: i386"

On 64-bit Fedora, the command is this:

"Sudo yum install zlib.i686 ncurses-libs.i686bzip2-libs.i686"

So you are ready to code your first application!

Android 10 Q will allow you to retouch the blur of your photos in third-party applications

2019-04-27T08:02:00.005-07:00

Among the new features announced by Google on Android 10 Q, there is one that should particularly appeal to photographers. It will be possible to modify the background blur from one application to another.

For the last two years, smartphone manufacturers have been multiplying software and hardware solutions to detect the depth of their photos. It can be a second sensor only to calculate the depth, as on the OnePlus 6T, or a particularly effective sensor through the image processing, as on the Google Pixel 3.

Nevertheless, one of the main concerns with these background blur effects was their incompatibility from one application to another. With the exception of Google Photos or Facebook, apps were unable to change this blur effect, either to increase, soften, or change the focus on another subject in the frame.

Possible retouching on third-party applications

It must be said that the images extracted from these photo applications are simple JPG files that can not integrate more than just visual data. It is in this context that Google has announced the arrival, with Android 10 Q, "XMP metadata related to the elements of depth, with a map of the depth integrated in the same document for the devices that support it". In concrete terms, this means that the depth data in an image can be integrated directly into the file.

We can imagine that third-party applications will take advantage of this to modify the depth of field, the background blur, or to add color elements depending on the depth of this or that element. A feature that could for example be taken by applications allowing image editing such as Instagram, Photoshop Express or Snapseed Google.

The Huawei P30 Lite is discretely made official by the brand

2019-04-27T08:02:00.002-07:00

A Filipino dealer had already pre-ordered the Huawei P30 Lite before it was introduced by the manufacturer. However, the brand itself has now quietly formalized the phone on its website.

On March 26, Huawei presented with great fanfare the P30 Pro and P30. At the same event, the brand also unveiled Watch GT Active and Elegant watches, FreeBuds Lite and FreeLace headphones, as well as connected glasses.

However, during this conference, we did not see any trace of the Huawei P30 Lite yet in the pipes and already certified by the TENAA. The manufacturer has made no statement about this ... but the same can not be said of a Filipino reseller, Abenson, who has already published a full page on this light version of Huawei's flagships, highlighting its strengths , especially on the photo and selfies.

Abenson offers indeed the Huawei P30 Lite pre-order today even though the brand itself has not yet officially communicated about it.

The price displayed by the trader is 16 900 Philippine pesos, or about 285 euros HT. Another dealer from the same country, Shopee Mall, has also opened pre-orders for this product.

Inside a central computer unit

2019-04-27T08:01:00.002-07:00

Whether you have a desktop computer or a laptop, your computer always consists of a CPU. Indeed, a CPU is the part that allows your computer to function properly.

If you have a laptop, the CPU is located inside the computer since you only have one block. In the case of a desktop computer, the CPU will be a block completely separate from the screen, the keyboard and the mouse. Indeed, these will be peripherals of the central unit which will be the heart of the computer. A computer, laptop or desktop, can only work in the presence of the central unit.

A central unit is composed of several elements that are mandatory. These elements are the processor which is a computer chip playing the role of computer brain, the motherboard which is a large circuit board with connection ports and which plays the role of nervous system of the computer, the memory which is also called RAM and which allows the computer to start and store data, the graphics card which is also called video card allows the display of the content on the screen of the computer, the sound card which is also called audio card and which manages the sound of the computer, the hard drive that allows the computer to store the data and keep them even when you turn off your computer and the DVD player which can be a simple player , a single burner or a burner drive allowing you to play DVDs and CDs.

In addition to these elements, other elements are also connected to the central unit. These are called devices. Since the CPU is the centerpiece of a computer, it must be properly protected. Thus, a central unit is protected by a plastic or metal case whose role is to protect the various components of the central unit against electromagnetic waves in addition to acting as sound insulation. The protective case of the CPU is often called the "tower" for a desktop. When you buy a desktop computer, you have the choice between three types of cases namely the big tower case, the middle tower and the mini tower. Whatever type of enclosure you choose, it must be equipped with a power supply.

What is the best purchase period for a laptop ?

2019-04-27T08:00:00.003-07:00

In today's world, with the advancement of digital and advanced technology, it is helpful not to say vital to have a laptop. This machine is useful in everything we do. But how to get one at a cheaper price?

Price according to seasonality

Depending on the time of year, purchase prices for laptops may vary. Computer balances often take place during the end of August and September. During this period consumers return from holidays, children go back to school, taxes arrive, all with a considerable outflow of money. The distributors then decided to market low-cost, specially manufactured laptop models. But there is also another moment of computer payoff in December. The month of December is the holiday season but also the release of new devices designed for these holidays. In this sense, laptops that are in stock in stores will be promoted to give room for new products.

What budget do you anticipate?

It is not always easy to answer this question effectively since the purchase price of a laptop varies according to several parameters to take into account. But it takes at least 250 euros and 500 euros maximum to have a notebook ultraportable range during sales periods. But at the same price, we can have hybrids that can turn into a tablet or laptop, only, at that price, they are fragile products, not very powerful or super ergonomic. For a minimum price of 1000 euros and 1500 euros maximum, it is possible to have quality hybrid laptops. At the same price, on the other hand, you can have a small desktop PC with small boxes but you have to add a screen and a keyboard. For Mac brand laptops, they are quite expensive, so better to look for opportunities.

How do computer programming languages work ?

2019-04-27T08:00:00.000-07:00

To work, a computer program needs computer software. These are developed from precise languages that describe the set of consecutive actions that a computer must perform. Based on precise algorithms, it is not always easy to know how it works. Here is a brief, helpful summary.

Computer programming languages allow software and programs to communicate with machines. They are the ones who give orders to tell the machine how to respond to a particular request from the user. This is a basic approach and computer programming is much more complex than that. The programming language is thus classified into two major programming families: the imperative language and the functional language.

The difference between his two families results in the way instructions are given and processed by the machine. In the imperative language, the program follows a series of instructions that the program executes. They are subject to a condition that if not fulfilled prevents its operation. The functional language consists of a program built by functions. The functions fit together. We speak of recursion when the function is called itself.

Computer language is also classified into two general categories. We thus find the interpreted languages and the compiled languages. The difference lies mainly in the way the communication is handled. The interpreted language thus needs an auxiliary program that will translate the given instructions. Languages such as MATLAB, PHP to develop websites or Prolog for artificial intelligence. We speak of compiled language when the file is completely autonomous.

For this he needs a compiler that can translate a program once that can work anywhere. The resulting file is an executable! This type of file is very convenient since it can only be modified by one owner. Anyone who tries to modify it must compile the file again. Among the most common computer languages compiled, there are the C, C ++ that are used in programming video games or applications for example.

There are also intermediate computer languages that combine both the interpreted language and the compiled language. In this category we find languages like Python, Java or LISP ...
