T-Mobile's Digits feature launches next week, lets you use your phone number on multiple devices

Image
T-Mobile phone numbers can be accessed from apps on Android, iOS, and the Web.   T-Mobile has  announced  it plans to officially launch its "Digits" program on May 31 after a successful beta that began late last year. The service combines features of services like Google Voice and AT&T NumberSync into a single product, by allowing customers to use their number on multiple devices, as well as creating additional numbers that can be shared between family members or used as a burner line. Digits works through the web as well as standalone iOS and Android apps, though recent Samsung phones and the LG G5 have native integration for Digits in their existing dialers. You make and receive calls as well as send and receive text messages on all connected devices, and much like Google Voice, it’s possible to customize which devices should ring whenever there’s an incoming call. All T-Mobile phone numbers will automatically become Digits and cus...

Tesla's Model 3 will reportedly do 0-60 mph in 5.6 second

Image
  H An alleged sales brochure (or more accurately, an anti-sell document) for Tesla’s upcoming mainstream  Model 3 reveals the electric sedan won’t be nearly as zippy as its bigger brother, the Model S. A source claiming inside knowledge of Tesla’s activities recently published the brochure over on the Tesla Model 3 Owners Club (via  Inside EVs ). According to the leak, the Model 3 will be able to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 5.6 seconds. That’s not really slow, per se, but it’s nowhere near as fast as Tesla’s other vehicles. Motor Trend earlier this year found that a top-of-the-line  Model S P100D with Ludicrous+ mode , for example, can accelerate from 0-60 mph in a blistering 2.28 seconds. Then again, a well-equipped Model S P100D starts at $140,000 which is far less than the $35,000 base price the Model 3 is expected to debut at. The document also reiterates that the Model 3 will feature a range of 215 miles and again as we already kn...

Image
Order online, schedule your pickup and an employee will load up your car   Comment Amazon is officially  opening up  its AmazonFresh Pickup locations in Seattle to Prime members in the area.

According to Seattle Times, the first time you visit one of the AmazonFresh Pickup locations, a concierge will enter your name and vehicle’s license plate number into Amazon’s systems. That way a license-plate reader will be able to automatically identify the customer during subsequent visits. The autom...

Amazon.com is releasing out a Spanish language option

Image
The first time it has offered a language other than English In the 20 plus years since it launched, Amazon.com has been available in just one language: English. But over the next few weeks, the US site is rolling out the option to switch everything, including listings, into Spanish. Changing from English is simply a matter of accessing the language drop-down menu near the “Accounts & Lists” option. As noted by  CNET , it’s a feature that's likely to be appreciated by many in the US – the second-largest Spanish-speaking country in the world – which at last count had 41 million native Spanish speakers and 11.6 million bilingual Spanish speakers. "Customers will be able to shop, browse and search for millions of products, view their shopping cart, and place orders in Spanish on Amazon.com and through the Amazon Mobile Shopping app," a spokeswoman said in a statement. There are localized versions of Amazon in many countries around the world, includi...

Uber backtracks on Greyball, will stop using controversial law-evading program After it defended the program

Image
  Facebook Twitter Google Plus Whatsapp Comments With  allegations  of sexism and sexual harassment,  lawsuits , and a  video  of CEO Travis Kalanick acting like an ass, Uber is in damage control mode right now. The company’s latest attempt to repair its image involves the controversial  Greyball program used to deceive regulators. After defending the system following the  New York Times  report that first revealed Greyball, Uber now says it will stop using the tool. In a brief  blog post , Uber chief security officer Joe Sullivan wrote: “We have started a review of the different ways this technology has been used to date. In addition, we are expressly prohibiting its use to target action by local regulators going forward.” Greyball uses several techniques, including geofencing, credit card info, social media, and device number checks to identify city officials who may be attempting to hail an Uber car ...

Analysts find that numerous Android VPNs are security dangers, uncover the ten most exceedingly awful guilty parties

Image
Do your research before installing an Android VPN Virtual private networks have been popular among computer users for some time, and they’re starting to find their way onto more Android devices as an increasing number of apps, such as photo editor  Meitu , harvest user location data. But researchers have found that many of these VPNs are security nightmares. Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO), along with security researchers from the University of South Wales and UC Berkley,  tested  283 VPN apps from Google’s Play Store. The results showed that 38 percent of them contained some form of adware, malvertising, trojan, riskware, or spyware. Additionally, 67 percent featured at least one third-party tracking library and 82 percent request permissions to access sensitive data, including user accounts and text messages. The VPNs also fell short in other areas: 18 percent of them did...

Samsung is accumulating Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chips

Image
The buzz surrounding the pending release of the Galaxy S8  has overshadowed the first half of 2017 in a way that we haven't seen in the smartphone market for quite some time. While other device manufacturers are expected to attract a lot of attention at MWC 2017 , the S8 question mark will be hovering over every presentation - and will be an important influence on those customers who are on the lookout for an upgrade this year. MWC 2017 will be the showcase for the next generation of smartphones for release over the coming year. For the manufacturers, regardless of the differences in the features on the actual devices, there has always been a common defining feature - the inclusion of Qualcomm chipsets. Thanks to Samsung, it could now be the case that the devices due to be released at MWC 2017 will include Snapdragon 821. Samsung produces the Snapdragon 835 and gets the benefits. / © Qualcomm For some manufacturers this has not com...

Is this the main open photograph of the Samsung System S8? Coming Walk 2

Image
Coming March 29, source says With the  Galaxy Note 7  gaining distance in the rear view mirror, both Samsung and mobile enthusiasts alike have  turned their attention to  “the next big thing.” Barring an unforeseen catastrophe of similar proportion, Samsung’s next major release will be the Galaxy S8. Leaks and rumors regarding the upcoming smartphone have topped headlines in recent weeks. In retrospect, they all culminated to a  Twitter post  earlier today from serial product leaker Evan Blass which allegedly showcases the Galaxy S8 in all its glory. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen purported images of the Galaxy S8 although given Blass’ incredible track record, most (myself included) would place their bets on the device shown in the shared photo as being the real deal. The most notable takeaway here – which aligns with earlier rumors – is the “infinity” display on the front of the smartphone. The rumor mill su...
