LG V40 ThinQ receives camera-focused software update before it’s even released
The LG V40 ThinQ is a pretty impressive high-end cameraphone... on paper , offering “more ways to capture every story” with a grand total of five shooters. Unfortunately, our in-depth review of LG’s latest Android powerhouse found the triple lens system at the back lacking in a number of key areas compared to a few top-tier rivals. Don’t get us wrong, this is not a bad device by any stretch of the imagination, but at over $900, it needs to be better to take on the likes of Samsung’s Galaxy Note 9 and Apple’s iPhone XS . Fortunately, it seems even the earliest LG V40 ThinQ adopters will be getting a substantially improved camera experience than the one provided on pre-launch review units. A software update is currently rolling out for at least one device already in circulation, with actual pre-orders yet to open . … [Read more...] about LG V40 ThinQ receives camera-focused software update before it’s even released
Tesla software Version 9.0 rolls without self-driving Navigate on Autopilot mode
Tesla began rolling out software version 9.0 to every Model S, Model X, and Model 3, according to the company’s blog. Calling it “our most substantial update yet,” Tesla encouraged owners to connect their cars to Wi-Fi for over-the-air (OTA) delivery. Version 9.0 includes an array of app updates, vehicle operational controls, navigation aids, and even games, but not the previously promised Navigate on Autopilot. Navigate on Autopilot not included Navigate on Autopilot is an active guidance feature that promises to let Autopilot find and guide the car on the most efficient route to a destination — a significant incremental step toward autonomous operation. Tesla decided to hold back Navigate on Autopilot with V9.0 to validate the operational feature using a Shadow Mode that is included in the release. CEO Elon Musk used Twitter, his favored communications platform, to announce that Tesla is rolling out version 9.0 without Navigate on Autopilot. “V9 moving … [Read more...] about Tesla software Version 9.0 rolls without self-driving Navigate on Autopilot mode
Software to seek out rule-breaking adverts as more Scots complain
0 Have your say Online adverts placed by Scottish companies are to be trawled by automated software to proactively seek out commercials which break regulations. The automated technology is part of a new strategy to be unveiled next month by the Advertising Standards Authority, which will use the software to identify adverts and social media posts which could potentially be in breach of official standards. They will then be assessed by humans and a decision made as to whether action should be taken.Chief executive Guy Parker told Scotland on Sunday that Scottish companies and organisations were likely to be specifically targeted under the new, UK-wide strategy, in a bid to redress the balance of a historic lack of engagement with consumers in Scotland.Over the past decade, data has shown that people in Scotland are less likely to complain than those living anywhere else in the UK apart from Northern Ireland. Parker said the ASA’s latest figures showed a 43 … [Read more...] about Software to seek out rule-breaking adverts as more Scots complain
Tesla’s new Software Version 9 adds a ton of features
The long-awaited ninth version of Tesla's software was announced on Friday and is now available to customers. By the looks of things, the wait was totally worth it.What's new in this major overhaul? Well, tons actually, but we'll start with the Tesla app. First of all, Tesla will now allow you to initiate a software update through its app, no longer requiring you to be in the car which is super convenient. The app will also now let you send navigation info from your phone to the car by using the Share button in your favorite map app. Finally, your passengers can control the media in-car with their phones -- unless you shut them out, you radio dictator!Dashcam mode is now a thing, officially, so long as your car was built with Hardware v2.5 (aka after August of 2017). The system lets you record footage to a USB drive while operating the vehicle. Based on images we've seen, the footage isn't amazing (or in color), but it's cool nonetheless. Another huge deal with Autopilot hardware is … [Read more...] about Tesla’s new Software Version 9 adds a ton of features
