What Is Two Factor Authentication And Why You Need To Use It

One way out of this sitch is to enable 2FA (two-factor authentication) on all your accounts to strengthen their security. That way, even if your password gets leaked/hacked, your account still won’t be accessible until it’s validated by the second factor (2FA verification token). But as it turns out, a lot of people don’t seem to be leveraging 2FA or are oblivious of its existence. So to make things simpler, here’s a guide on two-factor authentication with answers to some of the most common questions around 2FA....

Windows 7 God Mode

When I saw the tweets going viral on Twitter, the name implied much more powerful and potentially devious capabilities, as seen in most games these days. Instead, I found out that the “God Mode” folder for Windows 7 supplies just a tidy place to find nearly everything you can do within the Windows Control Panel. Note: If you already know about Windows 7 God Mode, you can skip this post....

Xiaomi Mi True Wireless Earphones 2 With Environmental Noise Cancellation Launched

While the earbuds look familiar to the AirPods and have an open design, the case has a boxier look that sets it apart. Anyhow, moving on from design, the Mi True Wireless Earphones 2 comes with Bluetooth 5.0 and support for LDHC codec for Hi-Res audio. They even come with dual microphones for noise-cancellation. However, the noise-cancellation is not ANC, rather it is ENC which stands for Environmental Noise Cancellation....

Xiaomi takes back the number one mantle from Samsung A 13 percent year on year growth saw Xiaomi take back the number one slot in the Indian smartphone market from Samsung. Xiaomi had a 26 percent market share in the quarter, which the report attributes to strong performance from the Redmi 9 and the Redmi Note 9 series.

First Cut Apple Watch Series 4 An Apple Watch That Looks Different

And the reason for this is the display – the Apple Watch Series 4 has the largest displays seen on Apple Watches, going up from 38 mm and 42 mm to 40 mm and 44 mm. What’s more, the bezels of the display have been trimmed severely so the impression is that of having a much larger display on your wrist in spite of not being too overly large. It is not an illusion....

First Cut Huawei P20 Lite The Lite Weight P20

At first glance, there is no doubt that the P20 Lite cuts a very fine figure indeed. We would say that when it comes to premium appearance, it almost matches the very good looking Moto X4 at this price point with its all-glass design (we think the spherical camera unit wins it for the X4, but only just). We got the Midnight Black edition and it is pretty much the tuxedo in the phone room, with its jet black glass front and back....

First Cut Redmi 7A Modesty Is Its Very Successful Policy

A design from the past Remember how smartphones looked before notches, bezel-less displays and glass backs invaded the design world? Well, if you do not then, taking a look at the Redmi 7A will take you right back in time. The smartphone very unapologetically manages to stand outside of the “what today’s smartphones must look like” box, but being different is not necessarily a good thing. The Redmi 7A is a budget phone and looks like one – smart enough, but not designed to stand out....

First Cut Redmi Note 8 No Pro But No Amateur Either

Of course, its biggest appeal is its price – at Rs 9,999 for the 4 GB/ 64 GB variant (there’s also a 6 GB/ 128 GB one for Rs 12,999), the Note 8 offers staggering value for money and is priced almost a third lesser than its pro counterpart. With a lower price, however, come some compromises and the big question is just how many corners does the device cut?...

First Cut Vivo V20 Se The Sleek Slim Stylish Selfie Master

It might sound like a different version of the Vivo V20 which was released earlier, but the SE is a very different kettle of phone-y fish. Unlike the V20 which seemed to have taken a page out of the design manual of the X50 Pro, the V20 SE is a bit more…well, conventional. A very good looking conventional, we hasten to add. We got the Gravity Black edition (there is also Aquamarine Green) and it certainly was head-turning material....

Review Ipad 9Th Generation Still Suffix Less Still Matchless Ipad

Those traditional golden oldie looks (minus a gold shade, though) The latest iPad seems to be a bit of a blast from a very golden past in terms of design. Yes, the display at 10.2 inches is slightly larger than the 9.7-inch one on the first seven generations of the iPad, and the bezels are more narrow, but this is a chip off the classic iPad design block, with curving sides and a home button which also serves as a fingerprint scanner, below the display....

Tech Ad Ons Chromebook Ad Very Book Ish Not So Chromebook Ish

The Science Guy takes you to class “Bill Nye on the Science of Switching to Chromebook” is an almost three-minute-long ad.

How we have developed it cope with the dangerous world around us. And how, now that we are not living in caves anymore, it should not keep us from switching to a Chromebook!...

What prompted you to write the book? I moved to India in early 2014 as the CNN bureau chief reporting in Delhi. One of the things that struck me when I moved here was that, on a lot of TV commercials that I saw here, the smartphone was dominating the advertising and commercials in some way or the other. All of the ads were either of smartphones or Internet companies....

Since then, there have been multiple updates to the OnePlus 7 Pro camera which has slowly, but surely, ensured that the camera isn’t anymore the Achilles Heel of the OnePlus 7 Pro.

Earlier this month, we had the unique opportunity to visit their new camera lab in Taipei, Taiwan and speak to the co-founder, Carl Pei as well as the Image Product Manager, Zake Zhang who works with Simon in the OnePlus camera team....
