The European Commission has backed their claim with evidence that shows Google promoting its own Google Shopping services as a result of which the highest-ranked competitor usually ended up appearing on page 4. This according to the commission is a direct abuse of Google’s dominant position in the Search.

Face Unlock, the feature first introduced by Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich started as a wonderful, innovative idea which should have protected the smartphone from unauthorized access, based on a rather simple idea: face recognition. Unfortunately, the level implemented was rather low, with tricks being easily performed to bypass the system and Google has realized that it needs to update the algorithm in Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, but unfortunately, without any success for the moment....

I started with Fitbit Flex, and moved to Surge, Blaze, Ionic, and have used products like Charge in between. There has been a lot of design changes since then, right from led lights to black and white to the color displays. The Fitbit bands have evolved from being a silicon carry bag to replaceable bands. Let’s go ahead with the Fitbit Inspire HR review. Design, Build and Display One of the best things about Inspire is its design and build....

Well, it turns out you can get a notification LED on an Android in 2022, albeit a virtual one. It requires the aodNotify app and a compatible device—the newer ones from Samsung, OnePlus, and Google—to work. Let’s take a look at aodNotify, its features, and how you can use it to add a notification LED to your Android device. What is aodNotify? aodNotify is an Android app that gives you the functionality of an LED notification light without the LED....

This transition isn’t quite limited to social networks either. Various companies like Apple have been attempting to push forward their own news facilitating services. Apple News, for instance, got an in-house editor-in-chief for updating sections like News Editors’ Picks and News Top Stories. Facebook’s enormous user base of more than two billion people allowed it become one of the most influential platforms for promoting content. Twitter has been always deemed as a news-first environment....

But then, ah, this is a Pixel. A phone that comes with a G for Google on the back. And one that has never been launched in India at anything below Rs 39,999. That changes everything. Or well, some things at any rate. Kinda sorta. Relatively smart and compact The Pixel range is designed to showcase Android. And while some Pixel devices have turned heads with their appearance, the 4a is unlikely to be one of them....

Here’s how apps and books, or just any other recommendation system works: much like personalized ads, which are targeted at one’s personal taste – the things you buy online, the things you seem to be interested in, Google logs relevant content. If that wasn’t scary enough, it also shows you what your friends (or people you’ve in your Google+ circle) are recommending. I, for one, am not really a fan of erotic content, heck, even if I was, I wouldn’t use my work email ID to access such things....

For starters, Datally shows how much bandwidth each and every app on your phone is consuming. Supplementing this feature is a nifty chat-head style bubble that pops up whenever an Internet-connected app is active and displays in real-time the amount of data being drained during the particular session. However, the most stand-out trait of Datally is its ability to completely block an app from using mobile data. This is something that has not been available natively unless you have a phone running Android Nougat or above....

To get a better idea, here’s how it will work. For instance, if you’re chatting with someone and they send you a Buzzfeed video, previously, it would have loaded in the browser if the app wasn’t installed on your phone. However, past the Instant Apps implementation, Android will grab a particular app page from the Play Store required to play the video and fire up the link in the native video player....

However, ever since its announcement at the Pixel 5 announcement last year, Google TV’s introduction seems to have caused a lot of stir (and also appears to be creating some confusion) around its existence with Android TV. If you, too, are wondering what happens to Android TV moving forward, here’s a breakdown of all that’s changed with Google TV and the differences between Android TV and Google TV. What Is Google TV?...

Recently, this became a problem for those who have bought computers or laptops produced by HP that came with the Windows 8 OEM installed. At that time, HP declared that they would not offer support for anyone who would downgrade to Windows 7 from Windows 8, thus creating quite a stir among the owners of HP computers. However, HP has updated their policy much to their relief, and now users can downgrade to Windows 7 without voiding their warranty....

The Poco X2 has a solid set of cameras, especially the primary 64MP Sony IMX 686 which produces images with a great amount of detail and punchy colors. Google Camera further improves the image output especially while clicking portrait pictures or selfies, and Night Sight performs better than the night mode on the stock camera app. How to Install Google Camera Mod on Poco X2 Update: There is a newer version of GCam available for the Poco X2....

Web developers Benjamin Groessing and David Fankhauser have developed a tool which is now available online as remove.bg which performs exactly the task that its clever moniker suggests, remove backgrounds from images consisting of people in them. While this was already effectively possible using photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop, it’s a much more complex process of selecting finer details and areas in the image to be able to crop it out from the background, something that remove....

Furthermore, HP has also taken care to keep the battery capacity well within the 100 watt-hours allowed by the airlines/FAA for carry-on luggage since the backpack battery is rated at 84 watt-hours. Again, it’s quite possible that the bag might be flagged since different countries have different guidelines. The bag doesn’t come cheap at $200 but considering the utilitarian front, it might be worth the money. Another good aspect of the bag is the compartments; HP has designed a separate compartment for each device alongside a charging port....
