Powerbeats Pro Leaked, And They Seem Better Than AirPods 2

Are AirPods 2 something you are interested in? You should better keep your money because the company has accidentally leaked the second pair of premium wireless buds from Apple and, many people will consider them the best buy. The ever-alert software specialist Guilherme Rambo from 9to5Mac has spotted that some images and animations were left by Apple inside iOS 12.2, depicting the first “truly wireless” version of the ‘Powerbeats’ earphones from Apple – Powerbeats Pro.

The so-called Powerbeats Pro will replace the Powerbeats 3, and they have a lot of reviews saying that the sound quality of AirPods is not as great while they will be the first Beats earphones to match AirPods’ wire-free format. Compared to the AirPods, these Powerbeats Pro will have a tight seal with swappable ear tips so when you workout they will not fly out of your years as they have clips to keep them in place when there is sweat in the scenery.

Forget about AirPods 2 as Powerbeats Pro Leaked, And They Seem Better

According to 9to5Mac, Powerbeats Pro will not have a different chip than the AirPods 2, so they will keep the next-gen H1 chip which has a faster pairing, “Hey Siri” support and long battery life. Since the H1 chips are hardware exclusive to Apple, your only choice will be Powerbeats Pro or AirPods 2.

The battery life and price of the replacement of the Powerbeats Pro is still unknown. The actual version offered 12 hours of battery, and the Powerbeats Pro will have an AirPods-style charging case. Regarding the pricing of this pair, you would need to pay $199 for the Powerbeats 3 which is $50 more than standard AirPods but compared to them, and you will often find the Beats range discounted online. That is happening especially during sales seasons.

Google Camera 6.2 Data Mining Revealed Dark Mode And Lots of Other Functions

Google Camera 6.2 began rolling out not too late in the last week. Data mining revealed a handful of visual changes such as live mode transitions and a dark mode for settings. In addition to that, work on a measuring tool is also revealed by the Google Camera 6.2 while the development of Cheetah will not stop, along with many other functions.

9to5Google has decompiled the latest version of Google Camera application that the company uploaded to the Play Store. When these files (called APK) are decompiled, we can see within the various lines of code hints of possible future features. You must not forget that Google might never ship these features or they actually will. Our goal is to enable those that are closer to being finished.

Google Camera 6.2 data mining revealed lots of new functions

Measure mode

Google, after it moved away from Tango for augmented reality, it updated last June its Measure app to work with ARCore. The functionalities that are included are capturing elevation and distance, with an option to save measurements directly as an image with a virtual ruler or to your clipboard. Google can have the utility directly integrated into the Google Camera app.

Cheetah

Google has been working, for the past several versions, on a Time Lapse mode which has the codename of Cheetah. The implementation of Cheetah involves recording video at faster speeds, and the existing Slow Motion feature is complimented.

Dark mode

Google Camera 6.2 data mining also revealed a dark mode. As you may already know, the camera’s GUI is already dark, so the new dark mode spotted in Google Camera 6.2 refers to the settings menu.

Improvements to Panorama mode’s UI

In Google Camera 6.2, Panorama UI presents the Audio recording off/on switch in the center, instead of the top-left corner.

HDR+ enhanced mode

Users can opt between HDR+ and HDR+ Enhanced modes when HDR+ manual control is on. The latter mode is slower than the former one but provides better photo quality.

Live mode transitions

Google Camera 6.2 maintains the live feed when you switch between Panorama, Portraits, Camera, and Video, for example. Icons of the modes remain overlaid, but there is a zoom animation to match each mode’s aspect ratio. The new live mode transitions are smoother and faster.

Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon Received New Pokemon Monsters

The Pokemon Company may have announced Pokemon Sword and Shield, but it didn’t forget about the players who enjoy Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the latest entry in the popular game series. Players who have an active Pokemon Bank subscription will be able to get two new Pokemon monsters for their collection.

By signing into the Pokemon Bank, you will be able to claim Oranguru and Passimian for free. These particular Pokemon will arrive with their Hidden Abilities, which aren’t usually available in the case of other Pokemon featured in the game.

Passimian’s Defiant ability will automatically boost its attack when the opponent lowers one of its other traits. Oranguru will be able to use Symbiosis, which allows him to pass the item held by the Pokemon to other allies. The power will work in Double or Triple battles if the other Pokémon consumes its item.

How to claim the new Pokemon monsters in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon

The two Pokemon can be requested in the Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, as well as in the regular versions of the games. To gain access to them, you will have to insert the game cartridge into the 3DS and open the Pokemon Bank app. A notification will let you know that gifts are available.

You will then have to start the game and receive the Pokemon from the delivery man who will spawn in the front of a Pokemon Center. At this point, we don’t know if the event will last for a long while so you may want to act before the opportunity slips away.

The Pokemon Bank is a paid feature which allows the player to easily transfer and store Pokemon between the titles which feature the sixth and seventh generation of Pokemon. Subscribers will often receive free Pokemon from the service. In 2018, the three Alola starters were offered with their Hidden Abilities. Besides free Pokemon, players can also claim a Mystery Gift which can contain a selection of useful items, including an assortment of rare Berries.

The Elder Scrolls 6 Won’t Be At E3 2019, Bethesda Announced

If your most significant expectancy of the press conference that Bethesda will hold at E3 2019 is to see the two most significant announcements of last year, think twice. Bethesda announced at PAX East that additional details would not be revealed or showcased regarding the games Starfield or The Elder Scrolls 6 at the E3 of this year. During E3 2018 both games were given a tiny teaser and were announced alongside more detailed reveals for Rage 2 and Fallout 76.

We won’t hear any news on The Eder Scrolls 6 and Starfield at E3 2019

Todd Howard, the Bethesda executive producer, said during a PAX East panel that “that’s just a little sneak peek at the technology that we’ve been building,” in regards to a new game engine’s further details. “People are going to see the tech at first, actually, in Starfield. And so that tech will have like the second version of it in The Elder Scrolls 6, and -before everyone asks- please be patient. It’s going to be a long time. It’s not something we’re going to be talking about at E3 -either of those games- this year. And so patience, please. But given The Elder Scrolls anniversary, we did want to give everybody a taste.”

The Elder Scrolls 6 is still a long way off

We were not really surprised to hear that during E3 this year we will see none of The Elder Scrolls 6 and Starfield, especially after taking into consideration that their showings from the event in 2018 implied that they are still early on in their development. Howard already knows the release dates for both games, but he decided not to announce them yet because it would be a proof of foolishness.

Pete Hines, the Bethesda marketing boss, and Matt Firor, the ZeniMax Online Studios game director, said during PAX Australia 2018 that The Elder Scrolls 6 is still a long way off.

VLC multimedia player is one of the most utilized by Windows users. They have reasons for using this platform because it offers a significant amount of accessible multimedia files, DVDs, audio CDs, VCD extensions and many others.

Now we have the latest version available for free, VLC 3.0.3 for Windows users and some new features.

First of all, at the video features available in the new version are some new video outputs for OS/2, Android, Windows 7, and compatibility with iOS platforms. It includes a “shader” support for outputs like OpenGL and colorspace conversion. We will have a variety of anti-flickering filters too.

Second of all, in the audio department, VLC has resamplers for a better audio quality output. As in the video feature, the audio output is compatible with Windows 7, Android, OS/2, and iOS. Now it’s processing the audio outputs faster, by simplifying the sound core of the application.  Also, the karaoke filters are included, and a dynamic range compressor too.

The devices and inputs for this application are many, but we will present you with the most useful ones: it’s supporting SDI capture cards and QTKit if you will use one, and BluRay discs.

The program can be praised as one of the few media players that support all the file formats. The new VLC 3.0.3 supports the MxPEG files. Also, it streams a customizable menu for Mac’s OS X, and more fixes for MKV and HTTP Live streaming; “CDDB,” “UDP/RPT” support.
