What exactly is the Cuzor 12V UPS? Let’s put it this way. It’s essentially a power bank for your DC-powered devices like routers, security cameras, and others. It connects like a bridge between the device and its DC adaptor, so it’s always on. This helps with seamless switching between DC power and battery power with absolutely no lag/delay. The use cases are plenty. You could use it with your set-top-box, DVD player, modem, Wi-Fi router, security cameras, basically anything with DC input....

I am not sure if it works on Android as well, but it should....

And it looks pretty awesome too. The Lenovo spokesperson doing the presentation said that the team had initially opposed the idea of device with a 6.0-inch display as being too big, but had been surprised by the designers.

A hacker named ikex has created what’s apparently the first iPhone worm, and it’s currently infecting jailbroken iPhones across Australia. The “ikee” worm, as it’s being called, takes advantage of the fact that jailbroken iPhones with SSH installed all have the same default root password of “alpine,” and once in the system it changes your wallpaper to an image of Rick Astley and then tries to install itself on other jailbroken iPhones on the network....

According to a new report from ProPublica, Google seems to have to finally buckle under and has quietly updated its terms and conditions which now states that the browsing habits extracted from DoubleClick’s massive database “may be” combined with what the company learns from the use Gmail and other tools. The alteration completely contradicts with what Sergey Brin told back in 2007 when Google acquired DoubleClick. He said that the company’s “number one priority when we contemplate new kinds of advertising products....

Taking a look at the other side of the spectrum, which includes different operating systems for both computers and smartphones — primarily Windows and Android — while there have been several applications and utilities over time that promise a similar experience and functionality as AirDrop, sadly, there has been no competent equivalent for AirDrop till date.

The Play Store in China has not been banned per se but Google doesn’t allow users to buy paid or premium apps. This has lead the developers to ignore the Chinese market and on the other hand even if the phone was preinstalled with Google Play Store the users in China would only be able to download free apps. That being said, Google is yet to back up the confirmation and even Xudong preferred not to go in details about the same....

Google’s Pixel 2 XL still is a competent option in the price segment especially considering the company has promised three years of software and maintenance updates. Although the phone does suffer from a handful of critical shortcomings such as performance slowdowns and poor display quality.

I often find myself in situations where certain apps won’t work on Linux as well as they do on Windows or the other way around. Sometimes they do, but they simply don’t work that well. This is why I decided to install both of them and simply choose which one is best for the tasks I have to do at that given time. You can do the same with your Mac just by using the instructions below....
