Google Assistant Interpreter Mode Is A Real-Time Translator

Thanks to Google Assistant, travelers do not have to worry about not knowing the foreign language of the country they travel to, as the Interpreter Mode in Google Assistant is a real-time translator. And the best part is that Google added the real-time translation to its increasingly smart AI voice assistant, so you can just write what you would like to say and Google Assistant will translate it and read it for you.

“Google Assistant Interpreter Mode is potentially world-changing for the future of travel: I won’t need to be bilingual in order to properly visit places and converse with locals in China, France, Italy, and so on. And there’s no need to boot up a translation app, sort through language selection drop-down menus, or spend time typing in words. It all happens automatically,” said Matt Swider on TechRadar.

The new Google Assistant Interpreter Mode has been presented at CES 2019, and it is, so far, the most exciting innovation revealed at the tech congress.

Google Assistant Interpreter Mode Is A Real-Time Translator

Like Google Maps, which helps users navigate the world and find the most exciting places when traveling, Google Assistant Interpreter Mode is also coming to aid users when they travel to foreign countries. The so-called Interpreter Mode in Google Assistant is a real-time translator as it’s translating whatever you want to say into the language you want.

“My CES demo was mostly a success, though Assistant didn’t particularly care for my not-so-authentic Spanish accent when I said ‘Okay, Google, become my Spanish Interpreter’ and asked ‘¿Dónde está el baño?,’ or ‘Where is the bathroom?.’ It kept translating my ‘Spanish’ to Spanish, and it proved my ability to speak Spanish is absolutely terrible. It’s now AI-verified,” explained Matt Swider from the TechRadar, who managed to test the feature live.

Soon, Google Assistant Interpreter Mode, a real-time translator, would reach Android smartphone so that it would help travelers even more than the well-known Google Translate.

IOS 11 Gets a New Update for a Cydia Eraser

Cydia’s creator, Jay Freeman, or as what most of us know him, saurik, replied to a post while confirming that he put an updated version of Cydia Esaer on his agenda. Unc0ver jailbreak users are already getting excited because of this news as it will make it quicker for them to revert to stock by removing the jailbreak.

How great is it to see that Freeman has finally decided to speak up his mind regarding his desire to update his tools and also what comes along with this, offering the best compatibility with @pwn20wnd’s unc0ver jailbreak.

This particular jailbreak solution makes saurik happy, and he is also satisfied with how it has been put together. With that being said, he does not mind throwing in some additional hours of work to update his packages and tools. It is not the first time we see happening with updates to Cydia Impactor.

Freeman, also nicknamed the “godfather of jailbreaking,” was put into a position in which he needed to answer what he is thinking about doing next. He mentioned that he is working on a Cydia Eraser update for iOS 11. Whatever the steps are to achieve this goal, it does not look like it worries the creator as he did not mention any other details about this update. However, he did not fail to offer users some bait, Freeman highlighting the fact that sometimes file formats can be changed by Apple and that he will do something to deal with that.

After Freeman makes sure that he knows exactly what his goal is, there is no doubt that he will give his 100% to ensure that the Cydia Eraser is functional for devices running iOS 11 and also the ones that have been jailbroken using unc0ver.

Corsair Compact Gaming Desktops Equipped with GeForce RTX Graphics and Core i9 chips

The compact 12-core Corsair workstation can be fitted with 2TB HDD to bolster it, a 960GB M.2 SSD for storage, and up to 32GB of quad-channel RAM. The advantages list of this workstation PC is not over yet.  It also comes with RGB lighting which is controlled by their iCUE app. This sounds like a dream, but the price not so much. For such a PC you would need to pay $4,999.

If you are a gamer, then this PC would suit you best as it has the One Pro i180’s specs you are looking for, all aside from its great design and the RGB lighting. You might also assume that this PC is built with the help of Intel Xeon chips and Nvidia’s Quadro GPUs, but none of these parts are in.

Corsair has some unique gaming-oriented variants for you in the form of the i140 and i160, priced at $3,599 and $2,999, respectively. Both models look similar to the more powerful (and expensive) model, including the liquid cooling for both the CPU and GPU. You will find GeForce RTX 2080 Ti graphics and an Intel Core i9-9900K processor in the i160 compact gaming desktop while the i140 one is equipped with GeForce RTX 2080 GPU and a Core i7-9700K chip.

Samsung Users, Confused As They Can’t Delete Facebook App

On specific Samsung devices, users cannot delete the Facebook app, something that puzzled a lot of Samsung users who already posted a series of complaints on the official forums and blogs of the South Korean giant company. According to the reports, it is impossible to uninstall Facebook on the Galaxy devices which come with the application pre-installed.

“It just absolutely baffles me that if I wanted to completely get rid of Facebook that it essentially would still be on my phone, which brings up more questions. Can they still track your information, your location, or whatever else they do? We the consumer should have to say in what we want and don’t want on our products,” said Nick Winke, a photographer in the Pacific Northwest, in an interview.

The Samsung users are now questioning why the company is not allowing them to delete the Facebook app, especially since the social network has been involved in scandals regarding privacy leaks and information sharing.

Samsung Users, Confused As They Can’t Delete Facebook App

“My news feed was full of negative stuff, people going crazy on social media. It was affecting me emotionally and mentally,” said Balwinder Singh who lives in the Susquehanna Valley of the eastern US and works in transportation. Even after disabling the Facebook app on his seven-month-old Samsung device, the idea that the app was still on his smartphone bothered him.

According to Facebook, disabling the app is like uninstalling it. Once a user disables the application, Facebook stops collecting data and sending information back to Facebook.

“It’s only recently that people have become to understand that these apps really power the spy in your pocket. Companies should be filing public documents on these deals, and Facebook should turn over public documents that show there is no data collection when the app is disabled,” explained Jeff Chester, the executive director of the Center for Digital Democracy.

Samsung Bixby 2.0 To Support Google Apps, Again

At its presentation at the CES 2019, Samsung revealed that its upcoming Bixby 2.0 update would support Google Apps again. More specifically, Samsung Bixby 2.0 would work with Google Maps, YouTube, Google Play, and Gmail, among others. However, the South Korean tech company did not reveal how Bixby 2.0 would work with Google Apps.

Initially, Bixby 1.0 version, which launched on Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8 Plus, supported Google Apps. Then, with the rollout of the new Bixby 2.0, Samsung eliminated the support for Google Apps, without revealing the reasons why it took that decision. Now, however, the upcoming Bixby 2.0 update would support Google Apps, again.

“This is all a little bit coincidental with the release of the Samsung Galaxy S10 on the horizon, but that doesn’t make it a bad thing by any means. As for when this update is occurring, well, we’re still not so sure, but a February launch alongside a potential S10 unveiling would be a solid bet,” according to 9to5Google who reported about the Bixby 2.0 update.

Samsung Bixby 2.0 To Support Google Apps, Again

Initially, Bixby 2.0 rolled out on Galaxy Note 9, and the South Korean company quickly added it to Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus. However, the original version of Bixby 2.0 is not supporting Google Apps. Now, at the CES 2019, Samsung announced that a Bixby 2.0 update would support Google Apps, again.

“While this update is nice and all, it is still both puzzling and annoying that the support was removed at all, especially considering that Bixby 1.0 launched with Google app support on the Samsung Galaxy S8 and S8+,” 9to5Google reported. They added that thanks to the upcoming update, Samsung Galaxy devices with Bixby 2.0 would support Google Apps, again.

In short, Samsung seems to prepare for the launch of Galaxy S10, and now, the South Korean tech giant plans to release a Byxby 2.0 update to support Google Apps, again.
