Offline Viewing to Come to Sky Cinema and More Before Christmas

And that’s not all. The offline viewing feature will be launched before it was supposed to be, as Now TV recently confirmed to T3.

TV users are going to be able to download tv shows and movies that are available on Sky Cinema – and not only – but Hayu and Entertainment so that they could watch them offline on a mobile device – and all of this before Christmas!

It will be released before the 25th of December

The feature was first announced on the 25th of January, 2018, when they said that it would be available at the end of the year. Nine months have passed and there was no news about the release of the new feature. Thankfully, Now TV just released a statement in which confirmed that the offline viewing feature would come to the clients before the 25th of December.

The statement was given to T3, but until now, only Sky Cinema confirmed that the clients would be able to watch offline movies and tv shows. A spokesman talked to T3 and told them that they would launch the downloads on Hayu, Cinema and Entertainments for tablet and mobile devices before Christmas actually comes.

If you’re a new client

This timing is actually great, considering all the trips going on will happen around Christmas. And what’s better, is that you can save up to 50% on Entertainment passes and Now TV Cinema if you’re a new client. All you need to do is sign up.

If you want to download a TV show, reality shows or movies in order to watch them online later, you’ll have to install the Now TV app on your device, be it Android or iOS. After you got the movie or tv show that you wanted, you’ll have about 30 days to watch it.

Nexus and Pixel Smartphones Received the Latest Security Update for Android

The beginning of November bought exciting news for Pixel smartphones. Starting from the 5th, this month, the line of handsets received the most recent security update available for Android. Thanks to this event, 17 issues that were waiting to be solved were fixed.

The flaws were noticed in the Pixel 2 and the Pixel 3 smartphones from OG Pixel series. With them, a part of Nexus devices and some gadgets from Essential Phone received the update. What do all these handsets have in common? They are all ran by Android 9 Pie.

The security update comes with many improvements in the smartphone’s functionality

The event which took place on November 5th is also mentioned in the monthly bulletin where Google publishes news about Pixel or Nexus. The source states that the devices which received the security update have a more enhanced picture-in-picture feature. It’s not surprising since the mode came with the Android 8.0 update.

The picture-in-picture mode allows people to perform multiple tasks on their device at the same time: watch videos and use the screen for other apps as well. In addition, the update stabilizes a part of Pixel handset’s notification capabilities.

Last, but not least, we should mention that Pixel and Pixel 2 come with a quick Google search bar which includes the Assistant logo. After giving improved functionalities to Pixel and Essential Phone handsets, the security update from November will be seen on Nexus 6P and 5X.

Those who want to update their devices faster can perform the operation manually. The process is not complicated: go to Settings, then System, click the Advanced button and, finally, System update. You will see that Google had a good idea to bring this update now, when several issues were affecting the phones’ functionality.

A Jailbreak for iPhone XS Max which Operates on iOS 12.1 Available Soon

Ever since the last version of iOS was released, users have been interested in seeing how a jailbreak would work on this operating system. Recently, this ”dream” became true thanks to Keen Security Lab.

A member of their team, Liang Chen, managed to jailbreak the new iPhone XS Max, a device ran by iOS 12.1. He announced his accomplishment on Twitter and added that he will make a presentation about the jailbreak during POC 2018.

Chen’s presentation can be seen on the 9th of November

According to Liang Chen’s social media channel, he will be moderating the panel this Friday, November 9th, between 16:30 – 17:30. Unfortunately, people cannot expect to actually see any footage presenting the jailbreak process.

Chen might not be able to make a practical demonstration of his work on jailbreaking iOS 12.1 on an iPhone XS Max because of his job. Tencent Keen Security Lab was created in 2016 (January). Their purpose is to focus on researching security matters for PCs, IOT smart devices, applications, mobile devices, cloud computing technologies and others.

In addition, Tencent Security applies their research on their own products and technologies. This means that a jailbreak like the one recently completed by Chen might not be in their line of interest.

iOS 12.1 users are happy to hear that their operating system can be subject to jailbreak. A lot of them say that this version is far better the previous parts, so they will follow Chen’s work very closely.

Other say that there’s no point in proving that you jailbreak an operating system unless you show the process to the public. Usually, it can take months until people like Chen show how they managed to do what they claim and it could be too late, since iOS users might already upgrade their systems.

The Complete Clash of Clans Guide For Each Type Of Player

Clash of Clans is one of the top mobile games. There are numerous players, and each player has a different strategy. We have prepared a couple of tips for you, and they work for each kind of strategy, whether you are a defensive player or one that prefers to attack.

Have successful attacks

Attacking can be improved if you are aware of certain tips. You shouldn’t attack at random. Notice that you have 30 seconds before you begin the attack, and you should take advantage of them. Come up with a strategy.

Don’t attack a base unless you are sure that you can get at least one star. You should also win more resources than you have spent. If there are any castle troops, make sure that you kill them first and then go on with your attack.

It is also a good idea to divide your troops into two groups, so that you don’t use them all at once. For example, one group can handle the main defenses and the walls and you can prepare a second line of attack afterwards.

Defend your base

Defending your base is also important. You should create a good design for it. Online pictures can help you, but make sure that you respect all the indications given. You should also make sure that all your traps are upgraded to the max and active.

Farming

If you want to protect your resources you can lower your league. You can also “hide” dark elixir by placing troops in the training queue. Once you come back online you can cancel their training and you will get your resources back. When you design your base you should also make sure that your collectors are placed in the center so that you can protect them.
