Last week, caller identification company Truecaller launched an application called Guardians app that was designed to share your location and other vital information with your family for safety. However, at the launch, the app had a major bug that let hackers take full control over accounts. Security researcher Anand Prakash, who found the vulnerability, informed Truecaller on Thursday, and it was fixed the same day. Truecaller launched the Guardians app with the intent to share your information with family members and friends for your safety.

While OnePlus phones are a great option for folks to get class-leading performance and screens for under $700, they haven’t been the best at photography. The company wants to change that with its new flagship model, and has partnered with the Swedish camera company Hasselblad. The firm is known for its high-end photography gear, including medium-format camera systems and lenses. In a 2019 interview with TNW, OnePlus’ product manager, Zack Zhang, said that the company’s camera system is not where it aspires to be. Since then, the Chinese manufacturer has improved its camera quality, but its results are still inconsistent. That’s where Hasselblad comes in.… This story continues at The Next Web […]

TLDR: The Essential Movavi Mac and Windows Software Bundle include a premium video editor, file converter, image editor and slideshow maker, all in one collection. Digital content does not spring to fruition for free. In fact, just the tools for creating top-notch videos or gorgeous professional-grade images are pretty pricey — and that’s before someone even gets paid to actually use them. The Adobe Creative Cloud suite of digital creation apps is the most popular app collection of its kind anywhere — and they charge $29.99 a month for the privilege of using their tools. But sometimes, equally productive options… This story continues at The Next Web […]

TLDR: The Uperfect 15.6″ Portable Monitor is an on-the-go second screen that brings HD-quality video when connected to a smartphone, laptop and more. Second screens always come in handy, especially when the first screen is a little on the small side. You can practically feel your eyeballs scrunching up and your vision deteriorating as you hold a phone screen inches from your face while you play a game or try to get some work done on that minuscule canvas. Instead, users can have a ready-to-go second screen on the fly whenever it’s needed with the Uperfect 15.6-inch Portable Monitor ($197.99,… This story continues at The Next Web […]

If you want to learn to act, it couldn’t hurt to have Meryl Streep give you a few pointers. If you want to improve your game on the tennis court, knocking the ball around with Roger Federer could offer some choice tips. So if you want to become a better photographer, who better than men and women responsible for iconic images and multimillion-dollar promotional campaigns to offer their insight? The A-list learning… This story continues at The Next Web […]

Alongside cooking for myself and walking laps around the house, Japanese cartoons (or “anime” as the kids are calling it) are something I’ve learned to love during quarantine. The problem with watching anime, though, is that short of learning Japanese, you become dependent on human translators and voice actors to port the content to your language. Sometimes you get the subtitles (“subs”) but not the voicing (“dubs”). Other times, entire seasons of shows aren’t translated at all, and you’re left on the edge of your seat with only Wikipedia summaries and 90s web forums to ferry you through the darkness.… This story continues at The Next Web […]

Midway through a podcast, a high-energy commercial chirps out all the advantages of using a particular learning system for languages. They are familiar: Babbel can get you conversing in just three weeks, it teaches you phrases you’ll actually use in the real world, lessons are designed to help you remember. Then a less familiar selling point: “Other learning apps use AI for their lesson plans, by Babbel lessons were created by over 100 language experts.” The company magazine website explains further, “Babbel’s lessons aren’t the result of an algorithm or computer program; they’re designed by real humans. Babbel’s Didactics Team, made up… This story continues at The Next Web […]

More than 99% of all organisms that have ever lived on Earth are now extinct. Most of these just died out quietly. However, in Earth’s history there have been five major mass extinction events – known as the big five – during which many species became extinct at the same time. Each of the big five events caused at least a 40% loss of all species on Earth. Yet humans hold a particular grudge against the most recent one, which brought a sudden end to the 160-million-year history of the dinosaurs. This was the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction, and it happened 66… This story continues at The Next Web […]

TLDR: With Audio Optimization Experience software, you can make video games or anything coming through your computer speakers instantly sound clearer, crisper, and better. Back in the day, audiophiles would add one of those ginormous multi-band equalizers to their stereo setups, allowing listeners to tweak every facet of their system’s sound to their highly individualized liking. With all the multi-channel audio and incredibly intricate sound mixing that happens in today’s entertainment, you might not think you need that level of audio fine tuning anymore. But if you’re a gamer, particularly competitive gamers looking for any additional edge, hearing that distinct… This story continues at The Next Web […]

On February 14, a researcher who was frustrated with reproducing the results of a machine learning research paper opened up a Reddit account under the username ContributionSecure14 and posted the r/MachineLearning subreddit: “I just spent a week implementing a paper as a baseline and failed to reproduce the results. I realized today after googling for a bit that a few others were also unable to reproduce the results. Is there a list of such papers? It will save people a lot of time and effort.” The post struck a nerve with other users on r/MachineLearning, which is the largest Reddit community… This story continues at The Next Web […]
