Even with regular upkeep, computers can slow down due to glitchy programs or tools, causing your programs’ issues.

On April 15 of last year, the European Commission opened up an investigation into Google’s Android operating system seeking to determine whether Google was abusing a dominant position in mobile operating systems to pre-install its own applications and services in smartphones. Now, over a year later, Brussels is finally moving to potentially release an official charge sheet, or at the very least a statement of objections against Google, the FT reports....

After many theories, the tech giant Apple decided to clarify the subject and admit that it has applied, in iOS, mechanisms that control the performance to avoid battery problems. The reported case proved that the tech giant Apple was limiting the performance of the iPhone 6s processor, slowing it down. However, at the time many analysts suggested that this behaviour could be solved by simply replacing the battery. Apple’s claims about this case After several theories and new evidence, including coming from the founder of Geekbench, the tech giant Apple decided now to reveal what happened and admit that all the assumptions are right to limit the performance of the iPhone 6s, to fix the battery issues that had been reported in the end of last year....

Whereas the Mi 4 rested on a steel frame (the company even made a film on it called The Journey of a Piece of Steel to drive home the point), the Mi 4i is unabashedly all plastic. And well, it looks a whole lot smarter to be honest. It has a slightly more boxy look and the back is much flatter than the one on the Mi 4. And while it too is white and smooth, it is not glossy like that on the Mi 4....

We loved the first generation Apple Pencil. The slightly heavy, round, glossy stylus, was pretty much THE stylus to use when it was first launched. Yes, it was not perfect. It had its flaws — the all-round design would make it roll down even from the plainest surfaces and do not even get us started on the whole charging system and the cap. Well, it might have taken the company some time, but it does seem that Apple has finally solved most of the issues that most users had with the older Apple Pencil, with the launch of the new one....

Yesterday, due to an email being sent out by OnePlus, it was assumed that the OnePlus X had seen the last of it’s days and was quietly and respectfully taking a bow. That seems to be partially true, with OnePlus confirming that thus far, only the champagne colour has been sold out, while the handset will continue to be available in black and onyx. What this means is that production for the OnePlus X had ended, however, stocks are still available, at least for the two remaining colours....

However, beyond the apparent advantages that come bundled with the Chromebook also came a dearth of apps. Despite the fact that Google Chrome Store already has most of the apps in a lite web version it somehow still crippled the productivity for some. Adding fuel to the fire was the fact that Google were slow in adding codec support and the video player was bare basic. The Playstore support will not only bring in tons of apps for the Chromebook but it will also signal the arrival of Android apps for laptops....

Still, drones have made their mark on our society — and in many ways, we’re all the better for it. Drones assist in many industries — from safety inspections to deliveries, and even the medical field. Now, for the first time, drones will be able to do something for ordinary consumers that they’ve never been able to do officially: shoot fire. Yes, it sounds completely insane, but an engineering company has developed a flamethrower accessory that can be mounted on some of the most popular drones on the market....

So far, Russian, pro-Russian, and Belarusian cyberattackers have employed the most comprehensive array of methods to achieve “tactical and strategic objectives, directly linked to the conflict itself,” according to research by security company Mandiant. However, the impact may be felt more broadly as hackers working for other countries, including China and Iran, are attempting to push their agendas forward. “While these operations have presented an outsized threat to Ukraine, they have also threatened the US and other Western countries,” the Mandiant researchers say....
