Samsung Might Beat Apple with its Series of Three Galaxy S10

As stated by a lot of tech bloggers and leaks sites, 2019 will be Samsung’s year. The South Korean company is hurrying to launch Galaxy S10, its flagship in three different sizes.

For the past few generations of Samsung high-end handsets, we have been used to receiving two sizes of such a phone, the big one, and the entry-level mini version. Ming-Chi Kuo, the TF International analyst, gave Business Insider a prediction of Samsung launching three variant of the Galaxy S10 in order to match Apple and its series of three iPhones.

The sizes expected of the Samsung Galaxy S10, says Kuo, are supposed to be 6.4, 6.1 and 5.8 inches. In order to buck Samsung’s trend of placing the sensor on the rear panel for it to facilitate the accommodation of the Galaxy’s Infinite Display from the past two generations, the two larger phones will be featuring ultrasonic in-display fingerprint readers. The entry-level device’s fingerprint reader will be mounted on the side. The Bell, the Korean news site, has also stated that this will happen to help S10 with security features.

The users of the large version of Samsung Galaxy S10 will benefit from the 3D front camera for facial recognition and three other cameras. With this feature, Samsung has the chance to beat Huawei and its tri-camera P20 Pro who wears the crown at the moment in DxoMark’s top spot.

Another rumor the public is excited about is the appearance of Galaxy X. This model is said to be a foldable one, and Consumer Electronics Show 2019 from next January might be the host of its announcement. Even though this sounds so innovative, it might not make Samsung fans get $2,000 out of their pockets for this device.

Chrome 67 beats Spectre – Chrome Security Wins

Google has been trying to find a new way of protecting Chrome browser against security gaps since Intel processor got its vulnerabilities exposed. Their solution is to implement Site Isolation.

In order for Spectre to not steal any data from Google users, Chrome 67 has introduced Site Isolation for Mac, Windows, Chrome OS and Linux.

However, this is just one step closer to achieve the completion of the project.

What is Spectre?

Spectre is a side-channel attack which to access parts of memory that must be off-limits to a piece of code, use the speculative execution features of most CPUs. And to arrive at values stored in the memory it uses timing attacks. To sum up, it reads any memory and steals data.

This is a significant threat only for web browsers and here is where Site Isolation comes in handy.

What is Site Isolation?

Site Isolation limits each renderer process to documents from one site, and it is a substantial change to Chrome’s architecture. For preventing attacks between operations or sites, Chrome will rely on the operating system.

Previously, Chrome would have a renderer process per tab opened which resulted in a multi-process architecture, still weak put face to face with an attacker.

To avoid that from happening, Site Isolation lets renderer processes to have documents from no more than a site, that means the navigations that cross-site reports will make a tab change processes so that the cross-site iframes will be put into a different process.

Chrome Security and Chrome have been working on such a process long before Spectre’s threatens and now Site Isolation was offered to 99% of users on Mac, Linux, Chrome OS and Windows.

In conclusion, if Spectre wants to attack it has no chance because the source of information will be changed into another tab.

Best and Safest VPNs You Can Buy with Bitcoin

People need to understand that their personal data needs to stay safe. It’s understandable why many people ask themselves how to protect their privacy.

A VPN should be enough to protect your data. When you open a tab to go on the internet, your browser will make a request that runs through your ISP. This request is then going to be sent to a DNS server, which will point your browser to the right IP.

The VPN is supposed to secure your privacy when you’re online, by encrypting your request and replacing the IP with an anonymous one. Did you know that you can buy a VPN with Bitcoin?

We’re prepared the best VPNs you can buy now with Bitcoin.

Microsoft’s Andromeda Entirely Revamped for 2019

Microsoft has been the wavemaker in the backchannel over the past couple of weeks. Why? Because the public is excited to find out more about the Andromeda project and when it is going to be released. Just like when the Nintendo Switch was launched, we could get behind it before that event, and we might do it again with Andromeda as it seems to be a portable computing concept. However, it would still need some work this time as it is little to no information on the internet regarding this subject.

As the launch appears to have a delay, Thurott shared the information received by internal sources and here are some reasons why Andromeda might be released later than expected, in 2019. Somehow when it came for Microsoft to play the “go, no go” decision game, at this point of the year, the trigger was pulled on “no” so there will be no holiday season release.

At the moment, the subject of the company’s worries is if they confused the public with their Surface brand. It is crystal clear that this brand is a premium and pioneering brand for convertible tablets and laptops. What might drag the reputation of Surface Book, Surface Laptop and Surface Pro down would be a smaller device with an imperfect execution on its dual-sided convertible design and lesser processing power. It does not sound like the Surface brand perfection, does it?

If you take that and add Qualcomm hard working process of creating high-powered ARM silicon which might not be ready until the end of the year (consider that early), the result will be…disappointing. Another year stuck in the pipeline, so this is why Andromeda is yet to have a launch date revealed and because of Surface Phone waiters will be upset.
