How to find hidden phone and earbuds

Long story short, girlfriend probably has one. It rang one night and was gone when I went looking for it. I also an pretty sure she has earbuds that she has as well.

What apps can I use or devices or any other way I can try tracking it. The phone would most likely be prepaid .

Have there been attempts to replicate the human brain's amazing processing power and speed by fabricating computer circuits which have hundreds of connections like a neuron's hundreds of dendritic connections? (see description)

Nautilus: Why Is the Human Brain So Efficient?

http://nautil.us/issue/59/connections/why-is-the-human-brain-so-efficient

This massively parallel strategy is possible because each neuron collects inputs from and sends output to many other neurons—on the order of 1,000 on average for both input and output for a mammalian neuron. (By contrast, each transistor has only three nodes for input and output all together.) Information from a single neuron can be delivered to many parallel downstream pathways.

Can we talk about the lack of live view dash cams?

It’s frustrating to buy dash cams personally because I want live view; this feature essentially allows me to check the a live video feed of my car even if I’m a thousand miles away from it.

Blackvue 750s and think-ware models are the only dash cams that have this feature.

For the 750s, it requires the person to buy their own SIM card that has its own data plan.

Another option is to get a hotspot device like the Verizon Mifi and use it exclusively in the car for the dash cam so any dash cam with WiFi compatibilities will be accessible. This route will require a standalone battery pack.

Nowadays, the manufacturers are too busy fighting for the camera quality which is understandable but to be frank, 1080p at 60 fps is the best optimal build. I say this because most 4K dash cam usually overheat way too fast.

I’m willing to pay monthly payment just to actually have a dash cam with it’s own LTE already implemented (perhaps they can partner with Verizon) plus the price of the device itself.

Need advice on installing a tv

A friend of mine needs help installing her tv. She had a wall mount that extends out, it supposedly came with "universal size bolts." She bought a LG UHD TV (55UN69) and wants to install it on her wall mount, does she need to buy new bolts? And the TV should have screw holes to install the wall mount, correct? Thank you for any advice in advance.

I get most of my clients to use Tactiq, which automatically transcribes our classes. So I can maintain engagement, and they don't have to loos focus by taking notes.

Google doesn't allow you to download the captions from a Google Meet meeting.

But they do allow you to record the meeting.

This is a free service, It also allows you to highlight the transcript and get a summary in Google Docs.

It is good if you are unable to record the session as well.

What are some major technological failures that have occurred this century?

I’m an engineering student, looking for a major technological failure or event to do a failure analysis on. I’m really interested in Therac-25 but it’s a bit too outdated to do the analysis on and I’m super interested in medical devices but I need something that is well know enough that has a lot of credible information on. I’m stumped with ideas and all the topics I can find don’t have enough information so I’ve come to you all in hopes that anybody has a really interesting case... It does not have to be a medical device.

Thanks so much!

How to pick a tech-related professional username?

The main question: How to pick a proper professional tech-related questions?

My problem is all about a professional online username / identity. I layed out some criterias for my username, but wasn't able to find any fitting one.

  • A suitable length of maximum two words e.g. JohnStevensen; and not too long in general.
  • Preferably my name being involved. The perfect would have been my whole name, e.g. JohnStevensen as a name online, though it doesn't comply with the following criteria:
  • The name shall be free on various online platforms, like GitHub, Reddit and so forth.
  • It may involve any kind of tech-related words, so e.g. JohnTech, DevJohn, JohnCode and so on.

I've been struggling for more than two weeks now to find a proper username who fits a professional computer-related username which is free on popular Internet pages. Does anyone have, besides those blatantly bad generators, any idea on how to get a good new "online identity"? Any good name ideas?

PS: JohnStevensen is not my real name, it been used for demonstration purposes.

Quick note: I used synonym finders online (and looked through various YouTuber channels) to find proper tech-describing words to play with. The only few appropriate a found were along the lines: Tech, Code(s), Dev(eloper), Digital, etc. Most of the other expressions were either too long, too unprofessional or not fitting at all. I tried to find usernames outside of the obvious tech scope, e.g. greek references or movie character , though that seems unprofessional due not every employer understanding such names on the read-by.

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of a Hyper-Connected World

Hello people!

I am new here. I just wrote an article regarding how tech is affecting us. Looking forward to constructive criticism and creating a discussion.

The Double Edged Sword

Ever asked yourself if technology is a blessing, a curse or maybe both? Ever thought that it’s a double edge sword and there is a price to be paid? I think so. I am convinced that everything in life has a price – even technology.

While technology has given us great experiences and has made our lives a lot easier and convenient, it has also robbed us of our private lives, attention span and our physical health. It is obvious that the world today was not prepared of the impact of technology and how rapidly it advances. This leads to depression, anxiety, lack of self-esteem or purpose. Studies done in the UK lead us to believe that there could be another health epidemic in the near future.

So let us review the good, the bad and the ugly when it comes to being constantly connected to the world.

My Personal Experience

Before we compare, I want to take you on a journey. A journey back in time. Let me take you to 2010. I finished 7th grade and we had a final goodbye party since everyone is going their own way in life, from changing schools to pursuing their dreams. It was the last time to be together, so as you can imagine it was pretty emotional for everyone.

I remember very clearly when me and the boys left the party together and said our goodbyes – one of them said I should download this thing called Facebook. They told me it will help me keep in touch with everybody after we split. I heard the word Facebook a few times before but I was never really interested in getting it – until now. It was a very emotional moment.

The first thing I did when I got back home was to make an account and start adding my friends on Facebook. And that was my entry into Social Media – to keep in touch with my friends and share our experiences – who will turn into a doctor, or a business owner or just become lazy.

But ironically it had the opposite effect. It actually separated us, I only kept in touch with a very few friends. We kind of grew distant from each other more and more. We never really spoke, we just……watched and liked our photos and that was it. The connected world actually separated us apart.

The Good

Let’s discuss the good things about a hyper-connected world. Its not all doom and gloom when it comes to technology. Today’s world is more connected more than ever before. We can reach anyone, anywhere at any time. Your relatives across the planet are just a click or tab away.

Before the internet the only way to connect to friends and family from very far away was to send mail (no, not email – that didn’t exist yet!)

Usually it will take weeks or even months to reach its destination plus you had to be an exceptionally good writer (I am a terrible writer so I could not write a proper mail to anyone anyway). Now, traditional mail has been almost completely replaced by email. You can send an email to anyone in the world instantly! This is great for businesses because it has saved them so much time and money and has made communication between departments and offices around the world so much easier.

One of the other advantages is that everything is convenient. Technology like digital wallets and virtual cards has allowed us to do things that previous generations can only dream of like paying bills online, working from home, ordering products and food online. This allows us to focus our time into doing productive things (I’m looking at you Programmer – too busy to get off your chair to get food so you just order it online). Yes, I am poking fun at the programmers because I wanted to become one myself. I started a Programming course recently so wish me luck!

I think the biggest plus of all is this - information. Knowledge, knowledge, knowledge! For the first time ever, we have the world’s entire knowledge at our finger tips.

The Internet is arguably one of the greatest inventions we have created. It as impactful as the steam engine, the industrial revolution and the creation of the wheel. All of these inventions forever changed humanity and the internet is no different. It allows any person that is connected to access an uncalculatable amount of knowledge and information.

Now, you do not need to invest thousands into a degree, you can learn everything you need online (with a few exceptions – Doctor, lawyer ect.). You can research any topic, ask people all around the world and join communities to learn. We truly live in a connected world where the possibilities are only limited to your imagination.

The Bad

Now let’s talk about the negatives. One of the biggest complaints that we hear today is that people are too addicted to their devices. They cannot let go and are constantly hooked on their feeds. Ex-Facebook CEO has stated that our addiction to technology and being constantly connected is ripping societies apart.

Attention spans have plummeted ever since Social Media became mainstream and young people today are have serious trouble paying attention in class. A study shows that if a I page loads a second slower than normal can result in 11% fewer page views, 16% decreased customer satisfaction and 7% lost conversions.  Another valid argument is that due to easy access to information, people do not try to learn things – rather they just ask Google whenever a question pops up. This discourages learning and acquiring new skills as it has been shown in numerous studies. Being connected to everyone and everything has just made people complacent and lazy. Why should I try to learn if I can just ask Alexa to do it for me, but Alexa can’t think on your behalf buddy.

The Ugly

I was really hesitant if I should go this far, but in the name of informing people, I decided to go all in. Thanks to our hyper connected world, it has made it easier than ever for criminal organizations to operate. The Internet has a dark underbelly, known as the Deep Web where you can find anything your illegal heard desires. Stolen Credit Cards, illegal substances, black market dealings and even assassins for hire! From the limited information we know about the dark web, some analysts suggest that some sites make around 500,000$ a day! Sounds scary right? These services and products wouldn’t be so easily available if our world was not hyper connected. Google estimates that it has only indexed around 0.004% of all pages on the web. We have no idea what is hiding in the other 99.996%, we can only imagine (to be honest a part of me doesn’t want to know). Maybe we will never find out what is really lurking out there.

A bright future or a Matrix scenario?

Technology has its good sides and bad sides. Our connected world could help us achieve things that have been considered science fiction like Virtual Reality, Drones, Artificial Intelligence and many more. On the other side we might become slaves to technology and be eventually replaced (it is more real than you think). Only time will tell, but I can assure this – it is not going to be a boring process. We will see some amazing advancements in our lifetime like Clean Energy, finding cures to deceases, increasing quality and life expectancy and many, many more. l consider myself lucky that I am living in this age to see it. I hope you are too.

Hello! I've had a Samsung S6 for 4 years and it's time I get a new phone. I'm still a student so I'm not exactly in the best place when it comes to money. So I was thinking of buying a huawei p30 lite. I looked at its specifications and it sounds ok for me. I don't need sth fancy honestly. I was wondering what are your thoughts on this? I also heard that android and google apps may possibly no longer be updated, is it really so? Thanks!

Hp pavilion Goes into hibernation

I have bought a hp pavilion 15 ec 0101ax ryzen 5 3500h gtx 1650 8 gigs ram just 10 days ago. I played simple games like skyrim and it worked perfectly fine. The problem arose when I installed watch dogs 2. The gpu temp went around 75( sorry did not record cpu temp, but I guess u can get an idea by gpu temps). After around 70 minutes of gaming in ultra settings (40 fps), it showed hibernating and locking and then screen goes off.

Now after some time I played again and now it went off in just 20 min. The next time only 10 minutes. Not using any cooling pad but Ventilation is fairly good.

Please Help me out guys.

Multilateral cooperation will be the cornerstone of internet economy

Globalisation has had its hey days since 1980s. In 2008, the financial crisis sent a rude reminder that all was not well with how people lived and worked. A decade later trade war between world’s two largest economies brought down the euphoria that the world is an ever-integrating global village. The shrinkage in trust and stability, in and among nations, has affected all possible interactions, including internet. It is time to take a closer look and find solutions so that civilisations continue  evolving to generate prosperity through multilateral cooperation.

What to do with a Tech Genius- part 2

About 2 weeks ago I made post to a couple of the subs on a situation that came up - my buddy, who is a very (very) talented coder, recently returned from a project in Poland and contacted me to figure out what he should be doing next.

I got a lot of useful feedback, some not so useful (define the problem, study the markets, take the opportunity where you see it, etc.), some useless (tell him to get a job and stuff like that), but overall it was a worthwhile idea to get the opinion of random people from all walks of life.

Due to the amount of interest the first post got, I’ve decided to give an update and am considering doing this regularly to document our journey from step 0.

I was contacted by a number of interesting people ranging from young local Ukrainian developers just wanting to talk, to people that were already well into existing projects that were looking for extra help.

We also had a couple of zoom conferences, the most useful of which was with an experienced entrepreneur, who while initially did not seem understand the unique technology my friend created, was by the end of the conversation eager to schedule a follow up and gave us a list of names - top level CEOs and investors in different tech companies that he knew who might be interested.

We’ve currently sent him back a list of cases where our tech could be used, but in the meantime I’d like to hear from anyone and everyone who may also be interested.

If you’d like to discuss or ask any questions in the fields of data, networks, AI, or blockchain please give me a shout. I’d also appreciate any comments or ideas.

If you have any offers or would like to learn about our unique technology, we’d also be glad to discuss. Thank you and take care🙏

Top 10 Most Popular Technologies That Will Conquer the Market

The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted the lives of many. Yet people in the tech industry are thriving to build a better future.

But, has technology evolved beyond predictions made by experts in the technology sector?

New technologies arise and old ones’ fade.

As we look forward to moving past the pandemic phase, we will also talk about the latest technology that will take the world by storm in 2030.

1. Artificial Intelligence

The rise of robots and automation taking away jobs has indeed instilled fear amongst the people. It has never made anybody this anxious as we all are today. Believe it or not, AI has the potential of transforming the world. Recommendation systems, AI assistant chatbots, speech recognition, virtual agents, AI is already making strides in the world.

2. Quantum Computing

Not to mention, quantum computing is already disrupting current technologies to solve complex and unapproachable computational problems. Google also announced to have achieved quantum supremacy in October 2019.

3. The Mars Rovers

Spirit and Opportunity, the Mars rovers made their first landing on the red planet in 2004. Ever since we keep discovering astounding insights about how the neighboring planet could be an amiable planet to live after Earth.

A recent rover named Perseverance was launched on July 30, 2020, and is set to land on Mars and Jezero Crater later on February 18, 2021.

Spirit, Opportunity, and Perseverance are also called the entry, descent, and landing technologies to ensure safe and precise landing. One of the main goals of Spirit and Opportunity was to hunt for signs of liquid water activity on Mars thereby concluding it is a habitable planet for living organisms.

Thanks to NASA.

4. AR, VR, MR, and XR

The last decade was a bit tough for virtual reality. But hey, you’re in the era of the new realities today. We all need to be thankful for the Oculus Rift and HTCVive, VR now has the capability of delivering as it has promised.

If you would have asked a person whether they could use VR in their workflow or not? Probably, they would have laughed at you. In the present day, VR has started to become common in the workplace. Pokemon Go is one of the best examples of how consumers have started valuing AR for entertainment.

5. Robots

Robots have already started replacing human jobs, but will they rule the world? No. These intelligent “things” may have the capability to replace jobs that take hours for humans to do, but they for sure cannot rule the world. Why? They’re too expensive, they cannot talk over all the jobs in the world, and they definitely do not have the legal power to back them up.

6. Internet of Things (IoT)

There will be over 21 billion IoT devices by 2025. Picture this scenario, in 2016, over 4.7 billion things were connected to the internet. Imagine what would it be like in 2021. The market is already predicted to increase by 11.6 billion IoT devices.

7. Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)

GPU is an integral part of high-performance computing as it has been widely used in sectors like gaming, real estate, manufacturing, and automotive. Since it supports deep learning applications, GPU accelerated computers increases the storage capacity, and analyze the data for quick and apt insights. AMD, Nvidia, Asus, and Intel are names that made the chip technology popular.

8. Neuromorphic Computing

Neuromorphic computing is said to be the next generation of AI. It is based on how the human brain tends to process the data. For instance, the central computer center acts as your brain, and this brain is then connected to different sensors e.g. neurons in the body. It works on the concepts of AI, machine learning, and deep learning.

9. Blockchain Technology

By 2022, the Blockchain market is estimated to be worth USD 7.8 million. Don’t confuse this with cryptocurrency. Blockchain technology is the underlying technology behind cryptocurrency. The best part is, it helps in enabling anonymous fraud transactions.

10. Brain-Computer interfaces

Well, this seems interesting.

While Quadriplegics have been used to talk to computers for many years now. It wasn’t well-refined. But experts are trying to get it back on track. Imagine a world without a keyboard or a mouse, won’t it be exciting?

Question of my VR Headset’s hardware...

I purchased an oculus rift s vr headset, and at first I was unable to use it. Unfortunately, my graphics card wasn’t very good, so I replaced it with a Radeon 570, and my functionality with the VR boosted dramatically. However, I still experience massive lag spikes, game delays, and even simple games that should be easy to run often lag or even crash. I am unsure if this is a processor issue, a RAM issue, or some other underlying problem. As of right now I still have my Radeon graphics card, by my processor is a AMD FX(tm)-6300 Six Core Processor, 3.50 GHz, and I have 8 GB of RAM. Thanks for the help!

Algorithms designed to steal data for advertising are super creepy, but has anyone else ever thought something then been advertised it?

Hey all. So as everyone nowadays knows, your phone accesses your camera, microphone, texts, search history, phone calls, location, what you like and don’t like on social media, what posts or ads you interact or stare at, etc.

But has anyone else ever THOUGHT something, never vocalized it or searched it or anything, and then been advertised it? For example, about a month ago, I decided to start sucking the inside of my mouth a little bit in to make my jaw appear more defined( I know, super weird, but like we all do weird shit in our heads). It was something I tried to register from time to time throughout the day to slowly form it into a habit. A couple days later, I start getting these dumb ads on Instagram for these like rubber pieces that you chew on for like 10mins a day to give you a better jaw. My jaw dropped(no pun intended). For the first time, I really registered that had just happened. I had thought something and been advertised it. The ultimate peak of advertising.

It’s happened on a few other occasions. I can’t recall exact examples, but of course I didn’t try to make a conversation out of it because I thought it was crazy until last night when my sister said it had been happening to her too. So I decided to gauge you guys. Does this happen to you too? Are we chipped? Are we slaves to the tech companies and that’s why we use our phones so much? Similarly, does anyone ever have a random person pop into their head or just a friend and suddenly get a text or snapchat from them? Might be linked....

Look all I’m saying is there’s definitely something more here. Feel free to continue the discussion below.

Shocking news about 1 billion Android phones

About Snapdragon chip flaws put >1 billion Android phones at risk of data theft

"A billion or more Android devices are vulnerable to hacks that can turn them into spying tools by exploiting more than 400 vulnerabilities in Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chip, researchers reported this week.

The vulnerabilities can be exploited when a target downloads a video or other content that’s rendered by the chip. Targets can also be attacked by installing malicious apps that require no permissions at all."

This wasn't expected from the biggest chipset manufacturer. It is utterly shocking & we must keep this in mind before purchasing our next Android phone.

Advice on what to do with my ipad.

I have the older iPad pro 10.5 model. I got it 2nd hand months ago for 300 bucks. (Came with an apple pencil two cases and a charger) It works perfectly fine and I have no problems with it. I wanted this particular model of ipad pro because I didn't want the more fragile current model of iPad pros. Not to mention I love having a headphone Jack ( I like my options) I was looking at the trade in value of my current 10.5 ipad and Best buy would give me two hundred and ten dollars for it. This particular model is working fine, it was originally bought back in 2017 and its getting older. The battery health on it is at 83% I was looking at the current generation of 10.5 ipad airs and its basically the same one I have now but brand new. It will work with my apple pencil and fit in the case I already have. Should I trade in this iPad pro and get a new ipad air? The difference after trade in would be 440 dollars before taxes. Does this seem like a good idea or should I just save the money and keep the ipad?

Google RCS chatbot

Full context at bottom if needed.

I was asked to create a very basic Google RCS chatbot. I started doing it in Google's "Dialogflow" when things started to get confusing:

  1. I noticed that on top of "Dialogflow", Google has a seperate platform for RCS and now I'm not sure which one I should be using. I can't seem to use the new platform as this page says I have to contact their partnet to request early access. If I do a regular google sign-in on the first page, it just redirects me back to the same page.
  2. In Dialogflow, testing works fine if the bot responds with regular text. If it's an RCS then it doesn't work and I'm not sure where I can test that?

 

 

 

If it helps, this is the full context:

I'm a sysadmin in a tiny company that deals with phone numbers databases. Since RCS seems to become a thing, there was some talk at the top of "getting in the game". A very generous telecom company has agreed to involve us in their demo platform. I was asked to create a super dummy RCS chatbot to get things going - enough to fill the requirements (this excel sheet). If everything goes to plan then we'll probably hire someone more experienced to build what we need.

This is a little overwhelming to me because there is just no info online. At first I thought that these chatbots are built with "Dialogflow" but now I see there's a early access platform which I can't seem to understand how to get or if that's what I need. To get things more confusing I can't seem to request the early access going. I'm not even sure how I can test the chatbot I created with Dialogflow because their on-site testing only works for text.

What is PUBG console trigger?

What is PUBG console trigger?

PUBG game has been a great success in the past years. First of all, this game, which can only be played on the computer platform, later became playable on mobile platforms. PUBG, which literally wreaked havoc on the world's game mass with its coming to mobile platforms, has achieved great success. Since its accessibility is easier after launching on mobile platforms, many people, including in our country, have locked their phones by playing PUBG. In order to stand out among the 99 players and be the first, it is necessary to have many skills in the game; The most important of these is to be a good marksman. PUBG console trigger comes into play right here. The most important element of today's phone companies when designing is that users can use their phones comfortably.

The PUBG console trigger, which can be integrated into your phone very easily, is of great benefit to players, especially when shooting at your enemies during the game. In this way, players who use PUBG console trigger have more advantage than players who play PUBG on mobile. Not only in shooting and aiming, the PUBG console trigger also makes it easier for players to move your character in the game, run, run, collect materials. In this game where speed, time use and good inventory management are very important, the PUBG console trigger makes your movements in the game more comfortable, which increases your game win rate considerably. Apart from these, the PUBG console is much less sweaty in the hand. Especially in players who play PUBG on mobile platforms for hours, the problem of sweating hands and fingers and not detecting touch movements because they touch the screen occurs after a while. If the PUBG console is on the trigger, not touching the phone screen while performing actions such as shooting and firing from a separate apparatus removes this problem in the players. Especially when going to the "drop" points, the players are enraged by the sweating of hands and the inability of the phone to detect the touch movements. Think about it, you are in the last two and the other player shoots you because your phone cannot understand what you touched. You lost the whole game for little reason! However, the PUBG console trigger prevents this and you can transfer the movements you want to the game much better than mobile. If you are a good PUBG player, it will be very convenient for you to get the PUBG console trigger.

USB Type-C and Type C Adapter

USB Type-C and Type C Adapter

Most of us notice that phones have different types of USB cable jacks, especially before buying a phone. While charging, we see that different phone brands or even different phone models do not use the same charging and USB cable. When we look at it from the outside, it is obvious that they only have different entrances, but in fact, these different entrances have many differences in terms of hardware. So how many USB types are there and what are the USB-Type C and Type C Adapter? In fact, USBs are not only in phones as it is known among the public; It is also used in widely used electronic devices such as computers, TVs, tablets, speakers. USBs are basically divided into three; USB type A, USB type B and USB type C. Each USB type may have different types specific to them; such as micro USBs. One of the biggest reasons why these USB types differ from each other, except that their inputs are different, is their data transfer speed. Most electronic home appliances have USB type A. Type A is the most common and most used USB type among the public. USB type B is the least common USB type with a more square tip than others. USB type C, on the other hand, is a USB type that has been released on the market and has a much faster data transfer compared to other USB types. Since USB Type C is almost new, it is not compatible with most electronic devices. Type C adapter fixes this problem. Type C adapter allows you to connect your USB type C to electronic devices that do not have a USB type C input.

Let's say you have a phone with Type-C login. But your charger is not Type-C compatible. Using the Type-C adapter, you can connect one end of the adapter to the phone and the other end to the electronic device you want to connect. Thus Type C adapter allows you to combine two different USB types and use your electronic devices. Under normal conditions, USB type C provides much faster data transfer than other USB types. So with USB type C, you can transfer your files from device to device very quickly. Apart from that, USB type C charges phones faster than other USB types. One disadvantage of the Typce C adapter is that it does not adjust the performance to USB type C. So if you use the Type C adapter on a device with a USB type A plug, the charging and data transfer speed will be USB Type A speed.
