Previously, they used to include the DM in plain text while notifying the users via email. Now, that has been replaced by a simple “check it out” button. Back in November 2013, there were some talks about Twitter mulling to encrypt DMs and implement other security measures, but yesterday, it was reported that Twitter is giving up on encrypted messages. Though we don’t know the exact reason for abandoning the project, it’s interesting that they have stopped including the DM in plain text for email notifications....

The company on its blog mentioned that when a user refreshes his/her Twitter feed after some time, tweets which are ranked on top by the algorithm will appear on top in reverse-chronological order. Though, the ones that aren’t yet analysed will show up underneath as usual. It looks like right now that Twitter is currently keeping this in beta by not enabling it automatically. Users will have to turn it on manually from the settings, “Show me the best tweets first,” is what Twitter is calling it right now and it totally seems like a way for roping in more testers....

Uber Movement segregates the city into different zones and also shows the time required to travel between these two points across the day. The dashboard is somewhat similar to the Google Analytics but for traffic movements. One can also compare traffic at different times of the year or traffic in certain parts of the city during some events like concerts or carnivals. This insight is expected to render a micro look at the traffic movement across the city in accordance with time....

Canonical hopes to raise a staggering $32 million of funding from Ubuntu fans and early technology adapters. It’s a fixed funding campaign, which means the project will turn into a reality only if it gets the complete $32 million of funding within 31 days. Considering that the expected delivery date of the smartphone to be May 2014, the project looks more ambitious than realistic. The small description of the project on Indiegogo page says: Canonical is comparing Ubuntu Edge with the Formula one, saying they both provide commercial testbed for cutting-edge technologies....

Starts with S, follows 2019 trends to a T The Vivo S1 ticks every box when it comes to trendy design elements of 2019. It comes with a tall AMOLED display that covers up most of the front of the phone. The display carries a small dewdrop notch on the top that holds the primary camera. Thin bezels surround the three sides of the display while there is a relative thicker chin below it....

Unlike Ather S340 which was an electric scooter, the Volta ZAP looks just like a conventional cycle with a battery back built onto it. It, however, comes with a rugged look, therefore, standing by the company’s claim of a crossover electric bike. Volta ZAP’s battery pack is capable of delivering a range of 60km without even pedaling thereby resulting in an approximate running cost of about 7 paisa/km. The startup apparently claims that the maintenance of their bike is even lower than the conventional bikes out there....

In fact, it reminds us of the Nokia N95, which was initially promoted for its (then) amazing 5.0-megapixel camera and its two-way sliding design before the brand rejigged its messaging superbly to switch it to “this is what computers will become,” highlighting a number of other aspects of the device. Showstopper? Well, it is more Bond than Batman That does not mean that the Xiaomi 12 Pro is not good-looking....

The Mi AI Speaker Mini is available for 169 yuan ($27/Rs 1,748) and will start retailing from 3rd April. If we go by the product images, the Mi AI Speaker Mini comes with navigation buttons on the top. These buttons can be used to activate, play, pause and skip to the next.

So the heart rate monitor will be available for the buyers as an accessory and can be added to the Mi Band package for a little extra. The Mi Band has already started selling in China this year priced at $15 and the Band Pulse will be made available from the mid of this month, surprisingly the price has not been greatley disturbed and it will still retail at $16....

Keeping up with the Xiaomi traditions now the company has announced Xiaomi Redmi 3 Pro which comes with a better spec list as opposed to the Redmi 3. The Redmi 3 Pro features a 5-inch HD display and draws power from the octa core Snapdragon 616 paired with a 3GB of RAM which is an upgrade from the 2GB RAM in Redmi 3. Improvisation on the storage front include a 32GB Internal Storage and also the usual microSD card slot....

Predictable but not unpleasant design The Redmi 5A is the successor of the 4A. The overall design is simple and one of the most common ones you can find in the budget categories. While those tall aspect ratio screens cutting into the bezels have made their way into the mid-rangers, the 5A will have to live with the bezels of last year. But perhaps design and aesthetics are not the top priority of most of the crowd in this segment....

Plastic, but heavy metal looks Smartphones under Rs. 7,000 are generally not looking to dazzle you with how good they appear and mostly focus on working well. And while the Redmi 8A is not obviously stunning, it definitely serves up some very (good) mid-segment vibes, which is not a bad thing at all when you consider that the mid-segment has some gorgeous devices. The 6.2-inch HD+ display on the front does not have very prominent bezels on three sides and the chin which is slightly thicker has Redmi branding on it....

The malware swung into action as soon as the visitors visited the site and secretly dumped files to their systems. It is still unclear on how many people have been affected by this bug but considering the fact that Yahoo’s website receives an estimated 6.9bn visits per month the number of victims can be quite high. The attack was carried out by piggybacking on a Microsoft Azure website. Thankfully, the campaign was stopped immediately after MalwareBytes informed Yahoo of the exploit....

Feels the same, sounds different We have used the Apple Pencil on the iPad Pro to draw, to scribble notes, and create designs, and the experience has been pretty smooth. The stylus is very well crafted and not only holds and feels like a real pen/pencil but also reads the level of pressure you are putting on the screen with the tip and the angle in which you are using it, which helps it work almost like its non-tech counterpart, given the fact that the Apple Pencil experience on the iPad Pro has been pretty remarkable which leaves the new iPad with huge shoes to fill when it comes to the stylus experience....

Well, it is. And it is not. SE-ems similar, but is rather different Let me get one thing clear – I have not used the new iPhone SE yet. In terms of pricing, I think it makes a very convincing case for itself – it runs the same processor as the iPhone 11 series and is almost 50 percent less expensive than its iPhone 11 base model. However, this is a very different device from the iPhone SE which was released in 2016....

Looks: Metal meets carbonate (and Kevlar) This must be one of the rare times in the past year or so when we have compared two devices with proper flagship level processors and neither had a glass back. The battle between the Poco F1 and the Honor Play in the design department is really one between two schools of thought – there is the metal backed Honor Play and the carbonate/Kevlar backed Poco F1....

OnePlus does claim to have put in a lot of effort into the design of the watch, highlighting how it went for a round shape that was closer to a traditional watch, how it used premium craftsmanship, and that each one of these is hand-polished with more than twenty treatments. Well, the fact is that even after all that, the OnePlus Watch cuts a very familiar figure. It does look premium, but if you were expecting something radically different from everything else in the market, we would advise you to tone down your expectations....
