‘The Last Dance’

“The last dance” is a 10 episodes documentary revolving around one of the greatest sports teams of all time – The 90’s Chicago Bulls and their last championship run with arguably the best player of all time – Michael Jordan. Every week Netflix and ESPN will air 2 episodes.

The first two episodes brought up multiple interesting topics, one of the was the construction and the split up of this 97′-98′ Chicago Bulls by their general manager Jerry Krause. His famous quote – “Players and coaches don’t win championships, organizations do”, drew much attention Sunday night as it drew over 20 years ago.

Current NBA players reacted to it –

Another key aspect that was discussed on the first two episodes is Scottie Pippen’s relationship with the management and the fact that Scottie was under paid and under appreciated. At some point he also demanded a trade and said he will never play for the Bulls again.

Other NBA legends and players commented about this documentary –

Android 11 Will Have A Build-in Call Recording Feature

More and more signs shows that call recording will become a built in feature on Android phone.

If you look at call recording from a technological point of view, it is not something so complex, but due to some privacy issues, Google and Apple made it harder to have calls recorded on their systems. So these are some good news for all the Android users.

While for iPhone users it seems like an impossible mission, on Android it was also an issue. Since Android Pie 9 this became harder and harder. Today it requires 3rd party apps that uses different techniques like recording the speaker or performing root to the device. Because of that most recording has bad quality and other issues.

But it about to change… Probably…

On January, this feature was installed on Google’s Pixel and in the last few days it also arrived to the Android One devices – this is an operation system that gets frequent updates from Google and installed mostly on Nokia and Xiaomi devices. Nokia users in India reported on their ability to record calls directly from the phone without using any external app.

The good news comes from the company NLL, that is responsible for one of the most successful recording apps in the world. They announced –

“Here are our early findings about call recording feature on Android 11

  • Some features which are available in Developer previews might not make to the final version of Android. However, we are confident that call recording will be available in the final version of Android 11.
  • Call recording will only be possible with default dialer/phone app.
  • You will have to change your system default dialer/phone app with another one that supports call recording.
  • Apps that are solely designed to be call recordin apps will not work. Unfortunately ACR call recorder app will not work either.
  • Luckily were working on a dialer app since last year!

We have tested and are able to record both sides of conversation in stereo mode. Call recording works with Bluetooth headset, earphones and Wi-Fi calling!”

So apparently will just need to wait a bit to see how things develop.

New Info About The Next iPhones

Leaked information regarding the new series of iPhones indicated that we will have 4 different models for the iPhone 12. The other products like macbooks and smart speakers will get an upgrade as well.

According to the leaked information, the new iPhone will look like a smaller version of the new iPad and the iPhone 5, which came out about 8 years ago.

A report from Bloomberg indicated that Apple will launch 4 new iPhone models, 2 of them will be “low cost” models, a new Macbook pro and a new Apple TV streamer. All new iPhone will support 5G.

The next iPhone will have metal back, not only glass as we got used to, and the body will have straight edges, like the iPhone 5, but much more slim. It’s still unclear if all 4 models will get the new design.

2 iPhone models will be Pro versions with the camera set of the new iPhone which came out 2 weeks ago, and will include 3 cameras. The screen of the new Pro model will be about 6.5-inch.

And other than iPhones, Apple will announce a new version of
HomePod, which should be half the size and cheaper – Apple will be able to compete with Google and Amazon in that category.

Except the Macbook Air that already got its new design, all the other products will get new features from the Macbook pro to the iMac, Apple TV and even a low cost iPad.

These announcements should take place like every other event – in September. Its still unclear due to the coronavirus pandemic, but Apple pretty sure everything will go as planned.

It Just Looks So Good – Sony Revealed its new PS5 Controller

3 weeks after announcing and revealing the full specs of the PS5, Sony shares new information about the controllers!

Get use to it – no more DualShock, it’s now DualSense! Besides the new name PS5 owners will get a new design and some new features.

It seems like after 25 years of the same design for their controllers, Sony is ready to take the chance with a new design. The DualSense is design with some futuristic taste, colored with black and white and it’s unavoidable to think about the stormtroopers for Star Wars when you look at it. It has same buttons as we used to from the PS4, in the top part of the controller we will have the touch screen.

Sony is proud to improve the vibration of the controllers (haptic feedback), and according to them, it is so sensitive now that you will be able to feel the difference when riding in the mud or on a highway.

Another upgrade is for the R2 and L2 buttons, it will allow you to feel the power of the kick or shot.

Another change is the switch from the “share” button on the left side of the remote to a “create” button. Sony claims it will help gamers to create new content easily and share it with the world. Sony didn’t share more than that and we will have to stay patient.

If you are a multiplayer fan you would love to know the remote control has a set of microphones that will allow you to talk with your friends without headset.

The charging will be via Type C cable.

Now we need to wait for the actual look of the console…

The New Huawei P40

Huawei just held an online event were they presented the new P40 to the market which includes some improvement in performance but the most unique part is its 5 cameras. The biggest concern for this device is – can the customers enjoy it without Google play and Google’s apps?

Performences

The P40 will come with Kirin 990 processor – the most advanced processor of Hi-Silicon and it should be 23% faster than the last model. The GPU will be 39% faster than the last model.

Slick Design –

This device has round screen from each side. If you like the effect of the screen sliding down to the sides, now you will experience it on the top and bottom of the device as well.

The P40 will have 6.1-inch screen, while the P40 Pro and P40 Pro Plus will have 6.58-inch screen.

The Cameras –

The new device contains 5 cameras – 4 cameras and a sensor for depth and 3D effects

  1. 40MP
  2. 50MP
  3. 8MP
  4. 8MP

The P40 will have 100 times zoom, which is a nice additions since the S20 has the same feature.

There is another new feature – Best Movement – it will allow you to take multiple pictures and an AI algorithm will pick the best one for you.

Battery

The Pro and the Pro Plus models has a battery of 4,200 mAh while the regular model has 3,800 mAh.

Make The Most Out Of The Quarantine

While the coronavirus spread all over the world and many people might lose their jobs for the foreseeable future, but there are some lucky people who continue to work from home and they might enjoy it – Programmers

You can learn how to program while you stay at home and maybe find a side hustle or your next career –

first of all, you need to define your goals –

Do you want to build a chat bot?

Do you want to build a website for yourself?

Do you want to analyze data more efficiently with SQL?

These goals will help you find you path toward success.

After understanding your goals, find information about it. Ask yourself what program language you need to learn in order to achieve those goals.

Third step is understanding your sources –

It might be books, interactive online course, a friend who can guide you or anything else that comes to mind

The forth step is the most important one –

LEARNING THE LANGUAGE

Take your time, understand the basics of the language and learn how to program the right way. There are lots of videos that show you step by step how to create anything you want but if you copy and paste the instruction, nothing good will come out of it.

If you really into it I would recommend purchasing a serious course online that explains also the basics and fundamental principles of programming

The fifth part is the most fun one –

Build anything you like! Get crazy with ideas and always look for new projects to build!

You will see that most of the learning is done by projects and not by traditional learning so look for opportunities to write your own code and programs!

Now It’s Sony’s Turn

After Microsoft revealed the full spec of the new Xbox, Sony is ready to do the same and as fans of gaming consoles all we got to do is wish the best of luck for both of them and start saving some cash.

Lets start with the CPU. The PS5 will have Zen 2 processor with 8 cores of AMD with a speed of 3.5 GHz. The GPU is also powerful and will be able to make 10 trillion calculates per second with 36 dynamic processing units with the speed of 2.23 GHz.

The console will have 16 GB RAM and 825 GB of SSD storage.

The PS5 will have a unique feature that the new Xbox lacks – Sony will have some sort of dynamic speed management – the Playstation will allocate power between the CPU and GPU according the game needs.

Sony is very proud in their transition into NVMe based SSD for the new console. It means that if 1GB took 20 sec to load on the PS4, now 2GB will take 0.27 sec to load, pretty amazing right?

The new console will support external hard drives.

The full specs –

  • CPU: AMD Zen 2-based CPU with 8 cores at 3.5GHz (variable frequency)
  • GPU: 10.28 TFLOPs, 36 CUs at 2.23GHz (variable frequency)
  • Memory: 16GB GDDR6 / 256-bit
  • Storage: 825GB SSD
  • Expandable storage: NVMe SSD slot

And how does it looks against the Xbox Series X?

On paper? Both console looks good and pretty much the same.

For now, Microsoft got more attention due to the fact that they managed to get more out of the same processor – CPU of 3.8 GHz. Moreover, the Xbox Series X will offer 1TB of storage.

But we don’t really think any buyer will make his decision based on such small factors and they probably will get the console they are familiar with.

Microsoft Shares New Info On The New Xbox

after Sony informed that the new Playstation arrives soon, it’s Microsoft turn to share some new details about their gaming console.

The Xbox Series X will arrive in the holidays (along with the PlayStation), but until then, both companies revealed new info –

Extremely High Performances –

Microsoft shared the full specs of the Series X –

Zen 2 processor with 8 cores @ 3.8 GHz, RDNA 2-class graphic engine, 16 giga RAM and 1TB SSD of storage.

This machine will cast games at 4K @ 60 FPS, up to 120 FPS and will support the RayTracing technology that present light effects for more realistic pictures.

The usage of SSD hard-drive is one of the main reasons that the console’s performances at the demo – 40 second difference in loading time between Xbox One and Series X.

Microsoft shared a new feature called Xbox Velocity Architecture which combine hardware and software architecture and allows games to get the resources they need fast. Now developers can skip long cut scenes to load the next chapter of the game.

The controller is going to change as well – the controllers will fit the hand of an 8-year-old but it won’t worsen the gaming experience of someone with big hands. The controllers will be charged with USB type C.

We will be able to expand the memory of the console. Don’t get to excited because these special hard drives will cost about $200, so we will have to be very careful about it.
