iOS 12 – 12.1.2 RootlessJB 3.0 Jailbreak Available for Limited Devices

If you are part of the jailbreak community, we have some great news for you! Jake James, the web, iOS and tweak developer (@Jakeshacks) has finally put an end to our waiting and released a jailbreak tool with the name of RootlessJB 3.0. Limited devices support this jailbreak, and only developers can use it.

The news

James announced over the weekend via Twitter that the RootlessJB 3.0 will soon be released. The tool offers initial support for A11, A10, and A9 devices that run iOS 12.0 to iOS 12.1.2.

If you take a look at what James twitted, no code and tweaks injections are included in his new tool yet. Aside from that, via dropbear, it spawns SHH.

As it does not offer package manager installation in the form of Sileo or Cydia, you should keep in mind that this is not a standard jailbreak that the public domain can take advantage of especially because it requires you to use SSH and dropbear to install the program. 

Are A12 devices left out?

James said that he is also working on the A12 support that jailbreakers had asked for and that soon enough their wishes will come true. This will be followed by support for A8 and A7 devices once there is an exploit.

How is RootlessJB3.0 doing at the moment

 

Since RootlessJB 3.0 was releases, James has tweeted a lot of updates. The recent one was announced not too much time ago by James who provided a video that shows people what the RootlessJB 3.0 is capable of. The footage comes from Sammy Guichelaar (@SammyGuichelaar), and it practically proves how successful James’ tool is. If you want to try it yourself, you can do so, but you should still keep in mind that it is not in its final form yet.

Clash of Clans Town Hall 9 Best Attack Strategies – Farming and War Attack

Becoming the best player of Clash of Clans’ Town Hall 9 is not easy, but we can make that process kinder to you by providing you with the best two attack tactics you can use to beat your enemies! Read them below!

Farming

A common process in Clash of Clans is looting or farming. In order to fill up their resources storage, players use the farming technique as they get what they need in a short period of time. Trophies are not important during this attack. It is not hard to find a base with low-level defense and high resources in a lower league. This is also the reason why low-level opponents are attacked by high-level players by dropping their trophy count so that they can get resources. Your Loons should be upgraded as soon as possible for the farming attack. In addition to that, you should also level up your Queen and save dark elixir. If you want to farm in lower leagues, the Simple Loons and Queen attack are very successful. Another way to collect some loot are Giants and Goblins and also the elixir.

War Attack

If you want to get three stars, the best strategy you can use for th9 war attacks is the GOWIWIBO (Golem, Witch, Wizard, Bowler). In your clan castle, you should use 8 Wizards, 2 Golems, 10 Witches, 4 Wall Breakers and Bowlers. There is one disadvantage with this tactic, and that is that you will need to pay more Dark Elixir for this army than the reward you will receive. If you do not have the resources, you can also use Minions and LAVALOONS. Use 25 Minions, 4 Lava Hounds (1 in the Clan Castle), and 16 Loons. When you attack, if you do not want your LAVA to be destroyed by the enemy clan castle’s troops, you should take some poison spell with you.

Key Strategies when Implementing Plug & Play IoT Solutions

The numbers of IoT devices that are truly plug& play is quite limited. In most cases, an array of errors and technical difficulties can be encountered during setup or when the system is started for the first time. In order to improve the usage and reliability of such systems, it is suggested to follow the comprehensive guide that can be found below.

The key purpose of the deployment is to place battery-powered devices in the areas where they need and collect the data that is being gathered in a manner that will allow the use and interpretation of the information that is provided.

  1. Do not use a generic DIY or wired solution.

DIY solutions are tempting since they are more affordable but they come with several problems. Trained people will be needed in order to mount and configure the devices and gateways and a patchy wired solution defeats the purpose of using IoT sensors in the first place.

  1. Don’t rely on occasion metering data in order to take business decisions

IoT sensors are able to provide a high amount of useful data that has the potential to improve the overall performance of a business. It is important to keep in mind that most metering systems will offer updated data after a reasonable amount of time has passed.  Real-time decisions should take into account the information provided by this data but you shouldn’t rely on it for major decisions. It is always advised to run a comprehensive analysis of the current status of the business before a major decision is taken.

  1. Secure and reliable solutions

The use of a secure IoT solution is a priority. A reliable system will reduce the costs in the long run by requiring minimal maintenance fees and providing a stable stream of information.

  1. Overall optimization

It is critical to optimize the system in order to obtain the best results possible. This can be done by scaling the deployment according to the needs of your business and avoiding investment in unnecessary peripherals.

PlayStation Vue vs. DirecTV Now – Best Prices and Available Content

As many people are wondering what they should choose between DirecTV Now and Playstation Vue regarding the content they offer, we provided you with a comparison on this topic.

Content

Original Content

This one is easy to decide. PlayStation Vue does not have original programming produced by AT&T just like DirecTV Now has. Some rumors say that Sony is working on some originals, but we are not so sure about this as no confirmation was received.

DirecTV Now depending on the genre, offers some original content including:

  • Condor, a political thriller
  • You Me Her, a rom-com about a polyamorous relationship (the first of its kind, in fact)
  • Loudermilk, a critically acclaimed comedy starring Ron Livingston
  • Mr. Mercedes, based on stories by Stephen King

These titles air on the AT&T AUDIENCE Network, which is exclusive to DIRECTV, DIRECTV NOW, and AT&T U-verse.

On-Demand Content Available

Both DIRECTV NOW and PlayStation Vue offer on-demand content aside from live streaming. Using the cloud DVR on PS Vue, you can record shows which will be waiting for you to watch whenever you want, showing how dedicated it is to on-demand content.

Unfortunately, there is no robust DVR on DirecTV Now , but it claims that its library contains over 40,000 on-demand titles which make it better than many cable and satellite TV services. As the amount is extended, there is no doubt you will find something you like.

Live Channels

Depending on the package you choose, you can get a decent amount of live channels no matter what streaming service you select. However, when it comes to add-ons, none of them offers much. Actually, DirecTV Now offers no other add-ons aside from DirecTV Now Español and the premium networks. PlayStation Vue provides a lot, including a Spanish-language pack for $4.99 per month and a sports pack for $10.00 per month.

Clash of Clans 2019 – What Does The Latest Update Bring?

Clash of Clans is still going strong and millions of users play it. One of the reasons for its success is the fact that Supercell works hard to constantly improve it. Regular updates seem to be the secret for its success and they transformed Clash of Clans into one of the most profitable mobile games.

A new APK update was recently released for Clash of Clans and it brought several improvements for the game. Let’s check the new additions together.

Improvements for some defenses

The new update has the 11.185.8 number. The update comes with multiple changes and enhancements. For example, the Multiple Mortar received an upgrade. After this defense got an upgrade, it is even more powerful than it was before.

The Archery Tower was improved as well. It is possible for the tower to switch between different shooting speeds and attack range. For example, it can reduce the original range to half, but shoot twice as fast. Each “mode” has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Brand new troops

The update also brought new troops. For example, players can now use Cannon wheels. The new troops are cannons that can be used during battles. They can be wheeled in and they are quite powerful. The new version also added the Bomber to the game. This is a skeleton that shoots bombs. It is very similar to the Wall Breakers, but this time they won’t die after firing.

New structures

The latest Clash of Clans updates also added new structures and improvements. The Mine of Gems offers free gems and the Clock Tower can be used to accelerate buildings and troop training. The Crusher represents the latest Clash of Clans defence and it can crush ground troops.
