21.01.2022 For years, we’ve been tempted by the idea of tiny Intel Atom-powered PCs built into Chromecast-esque dongles, plugging into our TVs’ and monitors’ HDMI ports with proper Windows 10 onboard. Asus’s VivoStick might be the best version of that ideal yet, with a new Cherry Trail processor, a healthy serving of RAM and flash storage, and two USB ports. The VivoStick is like the Intel Compute Stick in that it’s built around a HDMI connector, plugging into your TV or monitor directl...y to display a Windows 10 desktop. Power doesn’t come through the HDMI port’s measly current, though there’s a microUSB port on the VivoStick’s side that needs its own AC power adapter. And, conveniently, audio output is handled through the combined mic/headphone jack. Two USB ports one USB 3.0, one USB 2.0 mean both a keyboard and mouse can be connected separately, or external storage can be used to supplement the VivoStick’s internal 32GB capacity. There’s only a single variant with an Intel Atom Z8350 system-on-chip and 2GB of RAM, but even that is significantly more powerful than the last-generation Compute Stick at least until Core M-powered Windows-on-a-stick devices come out later this year. With Windows 10 running on every VivoStick sold, this is probably one of the cheapest Windows 10 devices you can buy. Asus improves the experience with a few of its own apps, including VivoRemote, which functions as a rudimentary keyboard or mouse via a companion app on your smartphone. The VivoStick TS10 is out in Australia now, and will set you back around $249 although we’ve already seen it a little cheaper than that RRP at a few online retailers.

20.01.2022 Just days ago, Apple took to the stage to show off new iPhones and iPads all running iOS 9. With the new OS set to roll out to the public in just a few more days, someone’s already come up with a jailbreak for it an untethered jailbreak, no less. Often, early jailbreak solutions for Apple’s new iOS releases are tethered. For the uninitiated, a tethered jailbreak requires an iPhone or iPad to be plugged into a Mac or PC when it’s booted. Boot without tethering it, and it w...on’t enter a jailbroken state. An untethered jailbreak doesn’t have that limitation. Once a device has undergone an untethered jailbreak, it’s always jailbroken even after a reboot. That’s what iOS hacker iH8snow has shown off on video: The jailbreak also reportedly works on the iOS 9.1 beta, too. Curiously, though, iH8snow has stated that he has no plans to release his jailbreak to the public. He does refer to it as dirty and hacky, but also notes that doesn’t mean it isn’t a proper jailbreak. Based on what’s shown in the video, it seems clear that it gets the job done. While the decision not to release this jailbreak may cause some frustration, it could be short-lived. If iH8snow already managed to jailbreak iOS 9, it’s very likely that someone else will, too. Should you decide to go looking for one, make sure that you stick to solutions offered up by trusted members of the jailbreak scene. A quarter of a million iOS users in China recently learned that lesson the hard way. They wound up with a bit of malware called KeyRaider on their devices after utilizing a dodgy jailbreak and grabbing some equally dodgy apps. KeyRaider then proceeded to quietly steal their Apple account credentials. https://youtu.be/E70VIPlx3UY

12.01.2022 Expect to hear a whole lot more about Li-Fi - a wireless technology that transmits high-speed data using visible light communication (VLC) - in the coming months. With scientists achieving speeds of 224 gigabits per second in the lab using Li-Fi earlier this year, the potential for this technology to change everything about the way we use the Internet is huge. And now, scientists have taken Li-Fi out of the lab for the first time, trialling it in offices and industrial enviro...nments in Tallinn, Estonia, reporting that they can achieve data transmission at 1 GB per second - that's 100 times faster than current average Wi-Fi speeds. "We are doing a few pilot projects within different industries where we can utilise the VLC (visible light communication) technology," Deepak Solanki, CEO of Estonian tech company, Velmenni, told IBTimes UK. "Currently we have designed a smart lighting solution for an industrial environment where the data communication is done through light. We are also doing a pilot project with a private client where we are setting up a Li-Fi network to access the Internet in their office space. Li-Fi was invented by Harald Haas from the University of Edinburgh, Scotland back in 2011, when he demonstrated for the first time that by flickering the light from a single LED, he could transmit far more data than a cellular tower. Think back to that lab-based record of 224 gigabits per second - that's 18 movies of 1.5 GB each being downloaded every single second.

08.01.2022 Seagate is resurrecting its Barracuda brand to designate one of several purpose-built 10TB capacity hard drive options under its new Guardian Series umbrella. It's part of a branding play that also includes 10TB HDD options dubbed IronWolf and SkyHawk. The 10TB Barracuda Pro takes aim at gamers and PC enthusiasts in need of "high capacity storage at an affordable price point." While Seagate's press release doesn't mention pricing, Engadget says the MSRP stands at $535. That m...ight be a tough sell when you can hop on Newegg and pick up Seagate's 8TB Archive HDD for $260. Newegg seems to think it will sell well, though. "The Barracuda family has a rich history of delivering reliable drives at an affordable price point for our customers, who are struggling to keep up with the vast amounts of data they’re creating and consuming," said Merle McIntosh, SVP Sales and Marketing at Newegg. "Seagate is pushing the boundaries on capacity and a cost-effective 10TB option is a product our customers will appreciate." Seagate's 10TB Barracuda Pro model is a 3.5-inch drive with a SATA 6Gbps interface, 7,200 RPM spindle, and 128MB of cache. According to Seagate, it can hit up to 220MB/s of sustained transfer performance. It's also available in 8TB and 6TB models, all three of which are backed by a 5-year warranty. In addition to bringing back the Barracuda brand, Seagate also unveiled a 10TB "IronWolf" HDD for NAS appliances and a 10TB "SkyHawk" drive that's designed for 24/7 recording from surveillance systems. The Barracuda Pro and IronWolf drives have already started shipping worldwide while the SkyHawk model is sampling to select customers.

03.01.2022 APPLE ANNOUNCES A BRAND NEW 9.7 INCH IPAD PRO: In another move to freshen up their mobile computing portfolio, Apple announced a new member of the iPad Pro family. During their Spring event yesterday, Tim Cook and co. unwrapped the latest iPad Pro, a 9.7 inch computing monster to compliment the original 12.9 inch iPad Pro. They didn’t just scale the size down however, as Apple made a few small tweaks to actually improve upon the original. For starters, Apple added an addition...al anti-reflective coating that they claim gives it the lowest reflectivity of any tablet available. There’s also an increase in pixels per inch or PPI, over the iPad Air 2, which will also make this screen the brightest on the market as well. The new Night Watch feature (Reduces blue light emission during night hours) that was announced for iOS 9.3 should definitely come in handy with the increase in brightness. There’s also support for the Apple Pencil and a dock made for the Apple keyboard, which was also scaled down for the 9.7 inch iPad Pro. The camera system was essentially ported from the iPhone 6S and straight into the iPad Pro, as it too will have a 12MP iSight camera, 5MP Facetime HD camera and support for 4K video recording, Live Photos, and Super Slo Mo at 240fps. Apple also stuffed the A9X processor and the four-speaker system into the new iPad Pro, all while keeping it weighing less than a pound. The new iPad Pro will be available in four different colors Space Grey, Silver, Gold, and Rose Gold. There’ll be three different storage options: 32GB, 128GB, and 256GB, and will cost $599, $749, and $899 respectively, for the Wifi Only models. LTE models will set you back about another $150. It will be available for preorder starting March 24th, and will go on sale as of March 31st. Author: William Crawford www.mobilecomputergeeks.com.au
