Vi trodde opprinnelig at Nothing Phone (1) skulle bli lansert i mars, i forbindelse med et arrangement produsenten kalte The Truth – men det viste seg at få sannheter om Android-telefonen fra Nothing ble avslørt. Et nytt evenement er på trappene, og nå skal det være alvor. Arrangementet har fått navnet Return to Instinct, hvilket i praksis er like intetsigende som alle de andre titlene vi blir servert under slike lanseringer. Om ikke telefonen er laget med tanke på Tarzan eller huleboere, selvsagt. Forrige gang fikk vi også et par små drypp om programvaren telefonen skal bruke – så det er rimelig å anta at neste arrangement vil fokusere på alt det andre, som for eksempel skjermen, kameraer, batteri, prosessor og, viktigst av alt, prisen. Kommentar: den siste store telefonlanseringen på en stund Det er vanlig med mange telefonlanseringer på våren, men i 2022 har denne perioden vart lengre enn vanlig. I midten av juli regner vi med at det roer seg, og at Nothing … [Read more...] about Nothing Phone (1) lanseres i juli – rent faktisk denne gangen

What has Broadcom become?
Editor's take: Broadcom was once a leading semiconductor company, and then it started buying enterprise software companies. The finance people recognize Broadcom for it is, and while the technology people recognize it as well, they just do not want to accept it. And we cannot blame them for that sentiment. Broadcom began its existence as a spin-off of a spin-off. Twenty years or so ago, Hewlett Packard began its process of miniaturization. First spinning off Agilent which contained a hodgepodge of businesses that were not related to PCs or printers. Agilent in turn split itself into several more pieces, one of which was HP's one-time internal chip business, rechristened as Avago. We followed Avago closely for many years as sell-side analysts. Buried deep inside HP, we knew it sold filters that went into mobile phones and would occasionally provide some really interesting, but obscure piece of information. Then the spin-off happened. Editor's Note: Jonathan Goldberg is the … [Read more...] about What has Broadcom become?
Twitter shut down a major security flaw but not before a hacker exposed 5.4 million users
TL;DR: Twitter acknowledged a data breach that may have unmasked pseudonymous user accounts. While it didn't float any actual numbers, previous reports indicated a vulnerability exposed more than 5.4 million Twitter IDs and associated phone numbers and email addresses. Twitter patched the security hole in January, but a "bad actor" claims he used it the month before to scrape the data. Last week, Twitter confirmed that hackers had compromised some accounts on its platform. Developers created the flaw with a June 2021 update for its Android client, that allowed a bad actor to associate user accounts with email addresses and phone numbers. Twitter learned of the vulnerability through its bug bounty program in January 2022 and patched it immediately thinking that nobody had been affected. However, last month BleepingComputer reported it had found a database on a hacker forum containing the phone numbers and email addresses associated with over 5.4 million Twitter accounts. … [Read more...] about Twitter shut down a major security flaw but not before a hacker exposed 5.4 million users
Apple accuses Qualcomm of operating illegal business model
Apple has fired a new salvo in its ongoing legal battle with Qualcomm over wireless patent royalties. In a federal court filing Tuesday, the company cited a Supreme Court ruling last month that a printer-cartridge maker's patent rights end with the initial sale of the cartridges. This precedent, Apple says, strengthens its argument that Qualcomm cannot continue to demand royalties for the patents after selling its chips. In that case the court found that patent law cannot be used to prevent the resale of Lexmark printer cartridges refilled with toner by other suppliers. Apple likened this to how Qualcomm requires customers to sign patent license agreements before purchasing chips, which the US Federal Trade Commission called in its own complaint a "no license, no chips" model. The license allows Qualcomm to take a percentage of the overall iPhone selling price in exchange for supplying the modem chips that let phones connect to cellular data networks. "This is precisely the … [Read more...] about Apple accuses Qualcomm of operating illegal business model
Samsung’s all alone at the foldable party
Samsung is throwing itself a party tomorrow with a couple of guests of honor: its foldable phones. We’ll likely see some updated watches and earbuds , but really, it’s a birthday party for the Z Fold and the Z Flip. They’ve been around for years now, but last August was when they really hit their stride with the most mainstream models yet. We’re probably not going to see any dramatic upgrades or shocking price drops this year because Samsung doesn’t need to produce any of those thrills. It owns the foldable phone category, and it likely will for some time. It’s a foldable party with a guest list of one: Samsung. Lest we forget, early iterations of the Fold and Flip were a little half-baked: awkward, too expensive, and not durable enough. But they got better. Last year’s Z Flip 3 and Z Fold 3 felt almost normal, with robust water resistance and better usability. Meanwhile, the rest of Samsung’s competitors seem to be stuck on early design iterations or not showing up at all. … [Read more...] about Samsung’s all alone at the foldable party
En kreativ laptop for kreatører – slik finner du den rette!
Å velge riktig laptop er ikke enkelt, og hvis du er en kreatør, er det faktisk enda vanskeligere. Vi gir deg tipsene som hjelper deg med å finne riktig datamaskin! Det finnes mange forskjellige bærbare datamaskiner på markedet og ofte deles de også inn i ulike segmenter. Men hva er egentlig forskjellen på en bedrifts- eller gaming-datamaskin? Og hvorfor er ingen av disse optimale for en kreatør? En grov forenkling, men som likevel gir deg et godt bilde er følgende: Bedriftsdatamaskiner fokuserer mye på sikkerhetsfunksjoner, holdbarhet og lang levetid, men leverer ofte dårlig når det kommer til grafisk prestasjon. Datamaskiner for gaming er på sin side kraftige nok til at kreatøren kan jobbe uhindret. Her får vi imidlertid det problemet at skjermen ofte ikke fokuserer på korrekt fargegjengivelse, men heller på oppdateringsfrekvens. En laptop for kreatører krever imidlertid god ytelse, god skjerm og stabiliteten til en bedriftsdatamaskin, da den faktisk ofte brukes som en … [Read more...] about En kreativ laptop for kreatører – slik finner du den rette!
Man who built ISP instead of paying Comcast $50K expands to hundreds of homes
Jared Mauch, the Michigan man who built a fiber-to-the-home Internet provider because he couldn't get good broadband service from AT&T or Comcast, is expanding with the help of $2.6 million in government money. When we wrote about Mauch in January 2021 , he was providing service to about 30 rural homes including his own with his ISP, Washtenaw Fiber Properties LLC. Mauch now has about 70 customers and will extend his network to nearly 600 more properties with money from the American Rescue Plan's Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds , he told Ars in a phone interview in mid-July. The US government allocated Washtenaw County $71 million for a variety of infrastructure projects, and the county devoted a portion to broadband. The county conducted a broadband study before the pandemic to identify unserved locations, Mauch said. When the federal government money became available, the county issued a request for proposals (RFP) seeking contractors to wire up … [Read more...] about Man who built ISP instead of paying Comcast $50K expands to hundreds of homes
The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is official, brings Android 12L’s new taskbar
It's time for a new round of Samsung foldables. The Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4 are official . Both devices hit stores on August 26, and the prices haven't changed from last year: It's $1,799 for the Fold 4 and $999 for the Flip 4 . The Z Fold 4—the one that opens up like a tablet—is getting a few millimeters wider this year, and it has a 6.2-inch, 120 Hz, 2316×904 outer OLED display. The Z Fold 3's outer display had a skinny 25:9 aspect ratio, but the Fold 4's is at 23.1:9, getting closer to a normal 19:9 aspect ratio. The inner display is wider, too—it's a 7.6-inch, 2176×1812, 120 Hz OLED display. The device's thickness hasn't really changed—when open, the phone is 6.3 mm thick, and it's 15.8 mm thick when folded up, thanks to the hinge gap. Other specs include a Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1, 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and a 4400 mAh battery with 25 W charging. Samsung puts the dust and water ingress rating at "IPX8," meaning there's no dust resistance, but the device is … [Read more...] about The Galaxy Z Fold 4 is official, brings Android 12L’s new taskbar
