Skype Audio and Video Calls Update Download Available Soon

When Microsoft bought Skype, competitors in the market, who in the meantime became true giants in messaging, such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, did not seem to be a problem, as they only provided basic text messaging services. In the meantime, however, these (and many more) offer Internet-based calling functionality at a similar level, so Microsoft is now trying to differentiate its service through capabilities that fans have long been calling for, such as call recording.

Skype Call Recording is one of the many features that many users have long wanted, and in the meantime they have developed separate applications that offer the ability to record audio or video signal from the Microsoft service. With the promised end-of-July update, which will adapt Skype interface from the desktop to a closer one to the mobile sector, the ability to record calls will be integrated across all platforms.

Thus, when someone starts the recording, all participants in the call will receive a notification that warns them of this.

One of Skype’s main competitors, Google Hangouts, has provided similar functionality a long time ago, combining the video call platform with live streaming capabilities from YouTube to deliver a final record directly to the YouTube channel of the one who wanted to record.

In the case of Skype, the records will most likely remain on the device on which the recording was started. Lately, Microsoft has begun to experiment with the so-called “Content Creator mode”, which offers those interested in podcasting live video or audio, the ability to use Skype along with streaming and recording applications such as Xplit, Wirecast and Vmix.

Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Seen With A Broken Screen

It was only a matter of time before the first Galaxy Note 9 images appeared online from someone who had access to the phone before the official announcement. Unfortunately, these images are not impressive, showing the phone in a rather… unpleasant state. This seems to confirm many of the rumors so far, but it might suggest that it does not use the new Gorilla Glass 6 as the image unit is photographed with the glass on the screen already broken.

The information that can be extracted from these photos is that the back of the device really underwent the most changes, ie the dual camera system was now positioned above the fingerprint sensor. Otherwise, the phone looks almost identical to Galaxy Note 8 from last year. Being a black unit, which is quite standard, we cannot know what other colors Samsung has prepared, so far only the blue version is present in the images dropped on the internet.

On the front however, the phone has a cracked screen. There are already speculations suggesting that it is a display protection applied over the original one, but by looking at the edges of the phone, they are similar on both sides and there seem to be no cuts to the cameras and sensors on the front. Thus, this situation does not give much confidence in Samsung’s new phone in terms of shock resistance, but we do not even know why it was used before photos.

It is possible that this unit has even been used to test shock resistance, and the cracks are the result of several successive falls. Of course, there is a possibility that the one who got this prototype has dropped it. Unfortunately, for the one who launched the online images, several markers that can drive the unit were visible in the images, even if the IMEI and serial code were hidden. Ironically, the “do not leak info” message on the back is also visible.

The latter might suggest that we are dealing with a false photo, the message being specially added. Until Aug. 9 we will not know for sure whether this is really the final design of Galaxy Note 9 and what kind of glass Samsung uses in its construction. Considering that Gorilla Glass 6 was just been announced, there is little chance that Samsung will get components from Corning so fast. However, being the number one smartphone on the market, there is an opportunity for an understanding between the two companies.

Clash Of Clans Best Tips and Tricks to Get Better

Top Tricks & Tips for Every Clasher 2018 – Clash Of Clans

This game, Clash of Clans, has been a favorite of many players for more than five years so according to hem, here is some advice you should take advantage of to improve your playing experience.

Here is what every clasher should know:

Tips for attacking:

1) Always think about a strategy while waiting for those 30 second to pass and change the base if you consider you will not get at least two starts from the current base.

2) Never forget luring the castle troops out of the castle and kill them.

3) Avoid putting all your troops at once, before letting you main squad entering always use the clear team to clear the way. The clear squad can have 2 Giants, 4 Wall Breakers, and 4 Wizards.

4) Do not forget to use your spells during the attacks because it is the only way to support your troops during the attack so use them.

Tips for defending

1) When creating your base only use the internet as an inspiration and make sure to change the design accordingly. Keep it original.

2) The center of your base should be where you place the Clan Castle.

3) Always use the compact base design like small boxes design or anti-funneling design in your base.

4) If owning an inferno tower, put it into multi-mode.

5) When they can offer the maximum damage, do not hesitate to use the Hidden Teslas. 15 Tiles radius around the Townhall is beneficial to your hidden Teslas because when troops get near the core of the base they usually lose much of their health and hidden Teslas are the best defense to welcome them in the center of the support.

6) Make sure you upgrade your traps.

iOS 11.3.1 Electra Jailbreak is Now Available for Download

If you search it on GitHub Electra Jailbreak of iOS 11.3.1 is finally available and an open source.

Statements and more details about the program

We got the good news earlier today from CoolStar who posted on Twitter:

“We have had several problems with pwn20wnd and have decided to remove him from the Electra team due to his recent behavior. I have caught wind that he was planning to leak the source code, and so have open sourced it before he could do that.”

“FTR: It was not my decision to add pwn20wnd to the Electra team. null pixel added him to the git repository without giving me much choice. He has blown his contributions way out of proportion and was stirring up unnecessary hype on twitter without asking any of us first.”

“I will let the Github repo speak for itself to show how pwn has been blowing his contributions way out of proportion. iOS 11.0-11.2.6 jailbreak was completed a long time ago without pwn. He really only did work on the UI and the nonce setter.”

As a reply to the allegations mentioned, Pwn20wnd tweeted, “So let me clear it up here: I planned on building a new open source jailbreak from scratch. But I never planned on leaking Electra’s code. That’s such a pointless attack. Oh, and GitHub repo speaks for itself right? It really does. I have done a way more job than what he claims I did. You can check it out.”

Conclusion

If you want to take advantage of the new  Electra Jailbreak of 11.3.1, find it on GitHub. Another major change will take place soon when Sileo will become the replacement of.

If you want to get updates regarding any of the subject mentioned, keep waiting for details.
