  • What Is Malware and How To Remove It


    Even if you don’t suspect it, it’s good to be careful because malware can hide deep in your computer and corrupt it.

    If you don’t have one already, download a quality anti-malware program such as Malwarebytes for Windows, Malwarebytes for Mac, Malwarebytes for Android, or Malwarebytes for Chromebook. Install it and run a scan – these programs are designed to find and get rid of any malware on your device.

    After your device is clean, it’s a good idea to change your passwords everywhere. Social media, email, shopping sites, bank accounts — everything.

    Keep an eye out consistently and pay attention to an early sign of malware infection to prevent it from overcoming your device.

    Be safe and use common sense– no opening popups, or unsolicited email attachments and stay away from downloading software from sketchy websites.

    • Voice Over LTE



      Voice over Long-Term Evolution (VoLTE) is a standard for high-speed wireless communication for mobile phones and data terminals, including the Internet of things (IoT) devices and wearables. It is based on the IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) network, with specific profiles for control and media planes of voice service on the LTE wireless broadband service defined by GSMA in PRD IR.92.This approach results in the voice service (control and media planes) being delivered as data flows within the LTE data bearer, with no dependency on (or ultimately, the requirement for) the legacy circuit-switched voice network to be maintained. VoLTE has up to three times more voice and data capacity than older 3G UMTS and up to six times more than 2G GSM. It uses less bandwidth because VoLTE's packet headers are smaller than those of unoptimized VoIP/LTE.

      VoLTE calls usually cost the same to make as other calls. A claimed advantage is that the signal penetrates buildings better, eliminating indoor "blackspots" without reception.

      To be able to make a VoLTE call the device, its firmware, and the mobile telephony provider must all support the service in the area, and be able to work together. For example, the Three UK network as of 2019 supports VoLTE (which it brands "Super Voice") on phones supplied by Three (and a few others), and other networks do not support it on "Pay-as-you-Go" (PAYG) phones.

          • LTE (Telecommunication)



            In telecommunications, Long-Term Evolution (LTE) is a standard for wireless broadband communication for mobile devices and data terminals, based on the GSM/EDGE and UMTS/HSPA technologies. It increases the capacity and speed using a different radio interface together with core network improvements. The standard is developed by the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) and is specified in its Release 8 document series, with minor enhancements described in Release 9. LTE is the upgrade path for carriers with both GSM/UMTS networks and CDMA2000 networks. The different LTE frequencies and bands used in different countries mean that only multi-band phones are able to use LTE in all countries where it is supported.

            LTE has been marketed both as "4G LTE" and as "Advanced 4G",[citation needed] but it does not meet the technical criteria of a 4G wireless service, as specified in the 3GPP Release 8 and 9 document series for LTE Advanced. LTE is also commonly known as 3.95G. The requirements were originally set forth by the ITU-R organisation in the IMT Advanced specification. However, due to marketing pressures and the significant advancements that WiMAX, Evolved High-Speed Packet Access, and LTE bring to the original 3G technologies, ITU later decided that LTE together with the aforementioned technologies can be called 4G technologies. The LTE Advanced standard formally satisfies the ITU-R requirements to be considered IMT-Advanced. To differentiate LTE Advanced and WiMAX-Advanced from current 4G technologies, ITU has defined them as "True 4G".

                • No Robots, Please, We’re Indian – The Lowdown On Amazon’s Localization Strategy

                  A string of docks line one end of Amazon’s 400,000-square-foot fulfillment center in Shamshabad, near Hyderabad in southern India. Trucks from sellers back into the docks, unloading boxes after boxes of goods. I am at the start of the loop where Amazon India’s staff takes over. Boxes are unpacked, then each product is weighed, tagged, re-boxed, and sent to a coded shelf from where it’s retrieved when you or I click the buy button on our screen. With a storage capacity of 2.1 million cubic feet, this is the largest of Amazon’s warehouses in India – the company dubs them fulfillment centers.


                  At what tipping point between automation and manual does it make sense to put a lot of Kiva robots here?


                  What strikes me is the number of hands tagging, sorting, weighing, and moving products. This is Amazon, renowned for its early push into automation right from the acquisition of Kiva Systems, a pioneer in warehouse robots, for US$775 million in 2012. We read in awe about its experiments with AI and computer vision for a fully automated offline “store of the future.” But there are no robots here. Its biggest warehouse in the giant Indian market is human-centric.

                  Amazon India VP Akhil Saxena is taking me on a tour of the facility where I feel I could easily get lost among the winding conveyor belts. It is in fact less than half the size of a typical Amazon warehouse in the US, he informs me. “We started off in India with smaller buildings, and as we scale up the buildings, we are adopting in the right level of automation,” says Saxena. “If you want to bring in all the US automation, then the buildings have to be much larger. Our US buildings are typically one million square feet. There it makes sense for the product to move rather than the person, as you’ve seen in Kiva videos I’m sure where the person is standing and the shelf moves to the person.”But there are no robots here.

                  • 5G: India Will No Longer Be Behind Technology Curve, Says TRAI Chief



                    India will no longer be behind the technology curve following the timely launch of fifth-generation or 5G networks, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) chairman Ram Sewak Sharma said on Tuesday.“Now, we have come to a stage where technology develops in India first. With 5G, we will no longer remain behind the technology curve,” Sharma said at the Telecom Summit 2020 organised by the PHD Chamber of Commerce & Industry and the Telecom Equipment Manufacturers Association (TEMA). But he pointed to challenges like funds scarcity and low fibre backhaul for the deployment of the next gen technology in India.“There are less than a third of mobile towers connected to fibre backhaul when compared to China that has more than 80% connected,” Sharma said. He added that the telecom sector should be treated as‘strategic’ to serve citizens and that issues such as the Right-of-Way (RoW) should be set right."Telecom sector should not be considered as a money-making machine for local bodies," Sharma said. He said some of the key features of next generation technology include low-latency communications, huge throughput and massive machine-to-machine communication.

                    • Xiaomi To Spend $7B On 5G, Internet Of Things, AI In Five Years



                      Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi plans to invest at least 50 billion yuan (US$7.2 billion) in 5G and artificial intelligence of things (AIoT) in five years, Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun announced today through the company’s official account on the Twitter-like Weibo. “We need to turn the continuous advantage we have in AIoT and intelligent life into absolute victory in intelligent full scene, and completely cement our king status in the smart era,” Lei said in the announcement. The planned investment builds on Xiaomi’s 10 billion yuan (US$1.4 billion) “All in AIoT” strategy put forward last year. Xiaomi also said that it has co-launched a 5G laboratory with state-owned telecommunications company China Telecom.

                      Lei also welcomes Chang Cheng as Xiaomi’s new vice president. Chang, who was previously the vice president of Lenovo and head of its smartphone unit in China, will be responsible for mobile phone product planning at Xiaomi.

                      Founded in 2010, the Beijing-based company focuses on selling mobile phones but has ventured into other categories to offer tech products like smart TVs, notebooks, air purifiers, and drones, among others. It has recently launched Redmi K30 5G, which is the first smartphone with Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G chipset that offers an integrated 5G modem. In China’s smartphone market, Xiaomi faces rivals like Huawei, which dominates the market with 42% market share in Q3 2019. Huawei has also been investing in 5G both at home and abroad. Early last year, the Chinese government singled out AI, industrial internet, IoT, and 5G as its investment priorities.

                        • How To Conserve Your Smartphone Battery

                          1. Close apps you aren’t using: Some people open app after app and don’t bother to close them when they are done. This may seem like a cool multitasking ability on your smartphone, but this is a big reason your battery is getting drained so quickly.

                          2. Turn your brightness down: Try dimming your screen down as low as you can without squinting to read, and see how much longer your battery lasts.

                          3. Turn off vibrations: You probably have vibrations whenever someone calls you or you get a notification of some sort. Vibrations use up more power than a ringtone.

                          4. Disable GPS: Your smartphone has a GPS unit that allows the sending and receiving of signals to and from satellites to determine your exact location, which is integral for some apps to work, for example, map-based apps like Google Maps or to check-in on Facebook. Some do this for privacy reasons, but it does in fact help with battery life.

                          5. Don’t use Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or 4G/LTE when not in use: Whenever your smartphone is searching for signals, your battery is being consumed. When you’re in bad reception, your phone is actively searching for a good connection. It’s a good idea to turn off your Wi-Fi or BlueTooth when you don’t need to be connected.

                          6. Turn irrelevant notifications off: Keep calls, texts, emails and other important notifications on, but when it comes to other things like news, games and other pointless notifications, turn them off so your battery isn’t wasted on notifying you.

                          • Huawei P40 Series To Launch In March


                            Huawei’s long-awaited flagship smartphone series will launch in March this year. The series will include at least two phones, Huawei P40 and Huawei P40 Pro. There are also rumours of a Huawei P40 Lite. The launch timeline was shared by Huawei Consumer Business CEO, Yu Chengdong. According to reports, these phones could arrive on March 26.

                            Huawei’s new phones will come at a time when the company is looking to reduce dependence on Google for software and applications in the wake of the US sanctions. Huawei is already working to bring its own app stores to match Google’s key services. It is also developing home-grown HarmonyOSto to replace Google’s Android. Huawei’s fresh attempts to sustain its growth may also suffer due to the Coronavirus outbreak in China.

                            • Shopping apps’ user retention is growing in Asia

                              With shopping app downloads soaring worldwide, the mobile commerce (m-commerce) industry is seeing massive growth and is on track to overtake ecommerce by 2020. Those who download m-commerce apps are sticking around, too. In fact, a quarter of them continue using shopping apps even after a day, and it takes a full week before retention rates drop to 14%, according to a recent report produced by mobile marketing firms Adjust and Liftoff. That gives shopping apps the highest retention rates among all app categories. Ajit Pawar, Adjust’s partnerships manager for Southeast Asia, explains m-commerce’s growing appeal. “Mobile is the essential go-to for inspiration and purchasing decisions and allows for easy shopping on the go. Users will often browse in their downtime when they are primed to shop, and being free of high-friction physical boundaries like checkout lanes or parking lots creates a smoother path to purchase than ever

                              • Internet And Mobile Association Announces Self-Regulatory Code

                                The representative body for Internet companies has developed a self-regulatory Digital Curated Content Complaint Council (DCCC) to receive complaints on online content such as video streaming. The Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) announced the “Self Regulation for Online Curated Content Providers” on Wednesday, naming Hotstar, Voot, Jio, and SonyLiv as signatories.

                                In an earlier version of the code released February 2019 that did not include the DCCC, many more companies had signed on, including Netflix, Zee5, Arre, ALT Balaji and Eros Now. However, several relevant companies did not sign that version either, including Amazon Prime and YouTube. The code creates the DCCC to oversee adherence to the code and receive external complaints from the Ministries of Information and Technology, Information and Broadcasting, and the National Consumer Helpline of India.

                                The DCCC is a nine-member body with a retired Supreme Court or High court judge as to the chairperson, three experienced industry members, three signatory members, and three members from National level Statutory Commissions (such as the National Commission for Women or Schedule Caste or Human Rights Commission). The code creates an “Online Curated Content Providers Governing Council” (OCCP Governing Council) with one representative from each signatory. The OCCP Governing Council appoints the members of the DCCC.

                                The code also requires signatories to categorise content with age-appropriate audiences and enable parental controls.
