Key components of the iPhone 11 Pro and Pro Max

By

With the iPhone 11, Apple is launching its first "Pro" family for its flagship mobile phone. But how is this designation justified and what are the features that differentiate a regular iPhone 11 from an iPhone 11 Pro?

In fact, as with the iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max, it is difficult to see at first glance what makes the Pro version different from the other "standard" versions. However, compared to all the features already available in the entry-level iPhone 11, the Pro version is a terminal for experienced users. Those are the main reasons for this.The A13 processor

The Bionic A13 processor, still developed by Apple on an ARM basis, is an evolution of the Bionic A12 chip on the iPhone 10XS/XR.…

Sara

A new study conducted from June 2016 to January 2017 at the Johns Hopkins University of Medicine Behavioral Pharmacology Research Center in Baltimore administered doses of 0mg (placebo), 10mg and 25mg of vaporized (via a Volcano vaporizer from Storz and Bickel) and provided cannabis to participants to study the differences of effects between the two modes of administration and as a function of dosage. The study concluded that there was a significant difference in the effects between vaporized cannabis and smoked cannabis.

APR2, a new generation smart robot that can evolve!

By

This robot is very limited in its form, but it can learn pretty much everything. Californian start-up Willow Garage encourages enthusiasts to write applications for the personal robot she designed. PR2 has already learned to serve a cold beer and even play pool!

At first glance, PR2 (Personal Robot version 2) is not very slender: 200 kg for just 1.50 m high. Besides, it doesn't have much in his head: just cameras, sensors and a laser, to find its location and better understand and where it is going.

It is in its base, a 67 cm wide base, that its essential components are housed: the electric motor, the battery and above all the networked computer that gives it life and connects it to the outside world.…

Julien Assange’s arrest triggered a wave of cyber attacks against the United Kingdom and Ecuador

By

Julien Assange's arrest was not without consequences: Ecuador and the United Kingdom suffered a wave of cyber attacks in the days following his extradition. Proof that the founder of WikiLeaks has some influence, even indirect, with hackers.

After 2487 days, nearly 8 years, locked up in the Ecuadorian Embassy of the United Kingdom, Julien Assange was arrested by British police on Thursday, April 11, 2019. By ending its status as a political refugee, due to non-compliance with international conventions and the cohabitation protocol established between the two parties, Ecuador turned its back on the founder of WikiLeaks.

This non-governmental organization launched in 2006 by the Australian cyber-militant has built a reputation by publishing a series of confidential documents, often compromising for the people and structures concerned.…

How to choose a good web host?

By

Sara

So, to help you select le meilleur hebergeur web provider, here are some points to consider when making your choice. Hosting offers: shared or dedicated server?

The first category, as its name suggests, consists in pooling the resources of the same server for different sites: individuals as well as professionals, showcase site, blog or e-commerce site. The fact of mutualizing needs allows, among other things, to offer attractive prices to site publishers. However, low rates mean that web hosting is less efficient. These solutions are for sites with low traffic.

Dedicated offers, on the other hand, correspond to the rental or purchase of a server dedicated solely to your activity.…

Mobile World Congress 2019 – Why you should not buy a 5G smartphone yet!

By

The year 2019 of the Mobile World Congress will undoubtedly have been the year of 5G. However, acquiring a 5G smartphone in 2019 is still likely to be a daring gamble.

The 5G technology is clearly making the buzz in 2019. Mobile stakeholders have been talking about this for years, assuring us every year that "it's coming soon." This year, finally, the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona was the opportunity to (metaphorically) touch the 5G with one's finger. Whether on the side of OEMs, component manufacturers or phone manufacturers, everyone was talking about 5G at the Catalan show. We even saw the first 5G mobiles materialize like the Galaxy S10 5G, the Huawei Mate X or the LG V50 ThinQ.…

Project Alias: the fungus that will block Alexa and continue to answer your questions!

By

Inspired by mother nature, the Alias project will allow you to regain control over your Google or Amazon connected speakers. No more wild listening! Project Alias, a "parasitic fungus" for connected speakers

Nature has the wonderful thing that it knows how to invent incredibly original forms of life. Cordyceps fungi and viruses can thus parasitize a host insect to take control of it. The "zombified" insect is then forced to climb as high as the trees to allow its parasite to release its spores.

Project Alias is a technological imitation of this animal behavior. This small device created by Borek Karmann and designer Topp Tore Knudsen is placed on a Google Home or Amazon Alexa speaker to take advantage of its strengths to its benefit.…

In 2019, make more responsible technological purchases!

By

Sara

What if in 2019, you didn't buy a new smartphone? It won't please the stock markets, but we still have the right to make good resolutions and here's one: clean up our technological lives a little bit. Your smartphone probably still works!

The year began with a cold shower for Apple shareholders, but an event that I would describe as a salutary one: when customers have the opportunity to boost their current model, users will take the opportunity to postpone their purchase of a brand new phone until the following year. The battery exchange program is one of the reasons, according to Tim Cook, as well as a gloomy climate in China.…
