Apple is to suspend a program in which it sent anonymized recordings of Siri chats to third party contractors, following privacy concerns raised by a report in the Guardian. Anonymous sources stated that Apple was sharing anonymized Siri conversations with teams who would use the data to better train the AI assistant, particularly when it had been triggered by accident. But The Guardian's source pointed out privacy flaws in the program, which regularly let contractors listen in on private situations, including sexual activity and criminal dealings. The data given to the contractors also makes it relatively easy to figure out who the anonymized recordings could belong to. Apple will now suspend the practice while it conducts a "thorough" review of the system it refers to a "grading", according to a statement sent to TechCrunch. "Protecting user privacy"In a statement, Apple said: "We are committed to delivering a great Siri experience while protecting user privacy. While we conduct a thorough review, we are suspending Siri grading globally. Additionally, as part of a future software update, users will have the ability to choose to participate in grading." Siri can be accessed by many types of Apple product, from the smart speaker HomePod, to its iPhone range, to the Apple Watch and its Macs. It's the wearable that was thought to be most prone to triggering false-positive Siri activations due to its wake word also being tied to the movements of an owners hand, as well (worryingly) as the sound of a zip being pulled. Apple publicly prizes itself on its privacy track record, which is what makes this particularly infringement such a troubling one. On the one hand, it mocks competitors whose privacy controls seem lax, and on the other is sending data and audio clips back to human researchers.

The 2019 Formula 1 season has seen Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes storming ahead but after a literal storm in Germany the young Max Verstappen managed to take the win. Now anything can happen for this week's Hungarian Grand Prix - and you can stream F1 live - no matter where on Earth you are - with this very guide. The 2019 F1 season has reached Hungary for the Budapest-based track of the Hungaroring. Thanks to a distinct lack of straights, this track is often compared to a go karting circuit, taking the drivers back to what they learned on - only with way, WAY more power. As a result expect to see Monaco levels of downforce applied by the teams with lots of rewards for horsepower. You know what that means – it's Ferrari's chance to gain some points if the powerfully tuned cars can just hold it together this time. Red Bull will be trying to maintain momentum after that Verstappen win at Hockenheim while Toro Rosso's Daniil Kvyat got the team its second ever podium with a third place behind Sebastian Vettel - meaning they'll all be coming out hard from the outset. While Mercedes can afford the loss, it will be fighting back in Hungary to gain dominance once again.

With the pollution level rising at an alarming rate, air purifiers have emerged as one of the saviours to fight rising complications due to air pollution. Seeing the rise in demand, most home appliance brands have started manufacturing air purifiers which can cost you a premium. According to WHO, 4.3 million people die from being exposed to household air pollution. Every year, the risk of a rise in health-related issues increases especially during the festival of Diwali, acting as the major contributor to the growing PM levels. PM (Particulate matter) 2.5 is the term used to define the mixture of fine particles including dust, dirt, smoke and liquid having a diameter less than 2.5 microns so naturally, it cannot be seen through naked eyes. While outdoor air pollution leads to serious health problems, indoor pollution is no less harmful than that. But, before you make that purchase, it’s necessary to look at some decisive factors like the room size, filter replacement charges, standard certification, noise levels, electricity consumption, etc. In this piece, we have listed some of the best air purifiers which you can use to stay void of such vulnerabilities. 1. Dyson Pure Hot + Coolhttp://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/huZLZHDSgj6MNx8LFqgqp9.jpg Perhaps the only air purifier with heater technology, the Dyson Pure Hot + Cool is a three-in-one solution that can be used throughout the year.

The vacuum-sealed HEPA filters are surrounded by activated carbon filters which remove gaseous odor. Dyson Pure Hot + Cool has a robust built and feels premium when placed in any corner of the room. Its cylindrical design allows the purifier to oscillate upto 350-degrees. The air purifier can be controlled via Dyson Link app and certified by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. Besides, Dyson conducts the POLAR test on its air purifiers which is the benchmark when it comes to performance and purifying efficiency. As opposed to CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) test which was created over 30 years ago, the POLAR test is a modern-day method of gauging the pollutants in a home. An air purifier is placed in a corner of a room without a fan, that measures 290 sq ft in size. Using all the nine in-built sensors, the Dyson Pure Hot + Cool can detect and remove all kinds of indoor pollutants and false odors. Dyson Pure Hot + Cool is priced at Rs 54,900 in India.

Rumors have been swirling around for months that Samsung would quit resisting current smartphone trends and ditch the 3.5mm headphone jack from its upcoming Galaxy Note 10 range, and now a new leak has basically hammered the final nail into the coffin for the fan favorite feature. The fine people at SamMobile have shared renders of what's said to be the Galaxy Note 10's 3.5mm to USB-C adapter, which will reportedly be included in the box, meaning users will have to use the dongle in order to connect wired headphones to the handset. This is the clearest Samsung Galaxy Note 10 leak yetSamsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus confirmed by Samsung itselfMassive Note 10 Plus 5G revealed in several leakshttp://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/HkhDA8Y6kUgdWb6S3ujBKj.jpg As you can see from the image above, the adapter looks practically identical to every other 3.5mm to USB-C dongle that's been released to this point, and its white color would suggest that the Galaxy Note 10's other accessories will also be white this time around. It's also expected that Samsung's Galaxy Note 10 will be bundled with a pair of wired USB-C in-ear earphones, possibly sporting active noise cancelling functionality, as per a recent tweet from noted leaker Roland Quandt. Of course, as with all pre-launch rumors, we won't know for sure if any of this is true until the Galaxy Note 10 is officially unveiled in New York on August 7, so it's not a long wait till we finally see it all.

Back when the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT and RX 5700 launched on July 7, we praised them for offering excellent value, even after Nvidia tried to beat AMD in pricing. And, while that's still definitely the case, you shouldn't expect to be able to pick up a third-party AMD Navi card for cheaper than AMD's reference models. This was pretty much confirmed when PowerColor, one of the biggest aftermarket manufacturers of AMD graphics cards, posted on Facebook, advertising its variations on the RX 5700 XT, starting at $399 (about £320, AU$570). That's the same price as the reference card, which launched at the same $399 (about £320, AU$570). The AMD Radeon RX 5700 will likely follow in the same footsteps. Take a journey through the wonderful world of PC componentsPair the 5700 XT with the AMD Ryzen 9 3900XCheck out the best motherboardsNow, historically speaking, this isn't super out of the ordinary. A GPU manufacturer would release its reference design for a graphics card, and then the third party manufacturers would release entry-level cards that match it, with more enthusiast-class graphics cards featuring a higher price. However, starting with Nvidia's pascal cards, that started to change. Team Green released its Founders Editions of 10-series cards like the Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, charging more than its reference design. This ultimately culminated in the huge prices of the RTX 2080 Ti. So, long story short, it's not very surprising that the aftermarket AMD Navi graphics cards would start at the same MSRP as the reference designs. And, while it does mean you can't snag a great deal on a cheap third party card, it does mean that the pricing is a lot less confusing.

Update: Our Call of Duty multiplayer feature includes two new trailers, including one that demos gameplay footage of the fresh 2v2 Gunfight mode. Call of Duty Modern Warfare is a remake in every way imaginable, down to making its multiplayer mode extra gritty and bringing back devastating killstreak rewards. You could say that the multiplayer gameplay is going back to its roots, but it's also taking obvious cues from much newer games like the free-to-play Battle Royale phenomenon Fortnite. It'll introduce cross-platform multiplayer so that console players on PS4 and Xbox One can play with PC gamers. You'll no longer have to consult friends on which version they're buying in order to jump into siloed, version-specific matches. While CoD Modern Warfare won't be free-to-play like Fortnite or PUBG, it will have a free season pass – there's no subscription attached to extra content for the first time. Activision has previously charged $50 for extra content, and it was another decision that divided friends. Finally, we don't have a max player count yet, but 64-player deathmatches are a thing and the Call of Duty team says its new gameplay engine can easily scale up to support larger player counts, even though the new 2v2 mode is just as fun. 'It's not like superheroes'Call of Duty wants compete with the modern multiplayer arena with these features: cross-platform multiplayer, free season pass content and much larger player counts. But it also wants to stake its claim on being the anti-Fornite in some ways. "It's not like superheroes," said Infinity Ward studio head Patrick Kelly. "It's real soldiers, it's real guys, it's real equipment." "We wanted to make a game that was authentic, that was gritty. The things you're going to see in the game are to the extent we possible can, we always ask ourselves 'Is this realistic? Is this authentic?'" "We always talk about things like 'ripped from the headlines.' Is it relatable content that feels like 'that's the kind of conflict or scenario that I'm used to seeing in the zeitgeist of today." New Gunfight modeThe chaos of massive multiplayer deathmatch games can be fun, and Call of Duty Modern Warfare certainly has that, but the new 2v2 Gunfight mode feels restrictive in the best possible sense. It leans heavily on precision. It pits players against each other with the same exact weaponry loadout. So if your two opponents have pistols, so will you and are one teammate. Every round of Gunfight randomly switches up the guns, with everyone having the same arsenal. The maps are purposely small, so it makes matches quick and accuracy count. A lot of twitch gameplay will happen in this game type, and that acts as good training for new CoD players, or ones who haven't played multiplayer in a while. More Call of Duty gameplay changesYou won't find zombies in Call of Duty Modern Warfare – that's never been in the spirit of this more realistic game. That's always been more of a Black Ops thing. Instead, you'll find a new Spec Ops mode and more tactical gameplay throughout the multiplayer mode. For the first time, you can mount your heavy weapons to stabilize them on windows and against walls, and then cleanly sweep rooms. Night Vision is here like never before, allowing you to don easy-to-equip goggles on demand and dramatically change up nighttime gameplay maps. Players who are used to attaching laser sights to their guns are immediately be outed. The new tactical sprint and door breaching moves are also bound to add a twist to your approach when taking on enemies, especially in limited 2v2 and 6v6 matches. They're more fast-paced and less chaotic – in a good way. Are these changes enough to compete with Fortnite when it comes to attracting an audience that has moved on to Battle Royale games? We'll know after Modern Warfare makes its return to a decidedly different video game battlefield on October 25. Something that won't change is console exclusivity for one platform. PS4 gamers will get early access to the multiplayer beta on September 12 (which is two days after the suspected iPhone 11 launch date). Everyone on Xbox One and PC should get access a week later, according to Infinity Ward. Best PS4 games of 2019http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/UicKpJPFFEo

Cloud services now account for 85 percent of all enterprise web traffic according to Netskope's recently released 2019 Netskope Cloud Report which signals a need for organizations to adopt a holistic approach to securing both the cloud and web. Chief Strategy Officer at Netskope, Jason Clark stressed the need for enterprises to put proper controls in place to secure all traffic flowing into and out of an organization, saying: “As today’s enterprises embrace digital transformation and increasingly replace traditional web use with cloud service use, it is imperative to assess whether proper controls are in place to secure all traffic. While most tools are focusing on traditional web traffic, this significant shift to cloud usage is what’s causing security teams to go blind. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to properly securing an enterprise as it embraces new tools and technologies, but a clear understanding of traffic and proper vigilance should be a requirement for all.” Five qualities to look for in a cloud service providerGoogle and VMware sign cloud migration dealDatabases are migrating to the cloudNetskope's report found that the top policy violations differ for enterprise cloud services and traditional web traffic. DLP policy violations, cloud activity policy violations and anomalous activity violations were the top three policy violations detected in enterprise cloud services while acceptable use policy violations, malicious site violations and malware detections were the top infractions for traditional web traffic. Rise in cloud services The report also highlighted how cloud storage and collaboration apps comprise the majority of the top 20 cloud services list with consumer-focused social media services such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube also featured prominently on the list. This is a signal that more enterprises are allowing their employees to use corporate networks for personal use. Multiple instances of cloud service usage across an organization are helping to drive the heavy use of cloud services in the enterprise. Personal use of popular services, the use of app instances by individual departments or teams and the use of app instances with third-parties like business partners and customers are all factors that impact the number of instances being used. Netskope also found that the average number of cloud services per enterprise increased by 3.9 percent to 1,295 cloud services compared to 1,246 in the firm's previous report from October 2018. When it came to departments using the most cloud services, marketing was at the top of the list followed by HR and collaboration cloud services were the most widely used across departments. However, this widespread use of cloud services does open organizations to exposure of both customer and employee data.

Lyft has slammed the brakes on its San Francisco e-bike hire scheme after several bikes reportedly caught fire in the city. According to the San Francisco Examiner, the first incident happened on July 27, with another battery fire confirmed on July 31. Lyft reacted quickly, taking the city's 1,000 e-bikes out of commission while it investigates what went wrong. No bikes will be available to hire until the company has confirmed that they're safe. Head-to-head: which e-bike should you buy?Has Belgian firm Cowboy made e-bikes cool?Are electric scooters legal? Know the law where you liveIt's no surprise that Lyft has acted quickly; San Francisco authorities historically take a dim view of startup transport companies causing a public nuisance. Electric scooter companies were banned from city streets after riders left the two-wheelers littering the sidewalks, and only one company (Scoot, owned by Bird) now has a license to operate there. Lyft's e-bikes (operating under the name Bay Wheels) had only been back on the streets for two weeks following a legal battle with the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA). Wheel troubleLyft got into the e-bike business in 2018 after acquiring Motivate – the parent company of various US-based bike-sharing schemes, including Citi Bike, Divvy and Ford GoBikes. Lyft acquired all of Motivate's tech and city contracts, and set about taking over the streets. It may be quite a while before the company is able to reassure the SFMTA that its cycles are safe for riders. To quote Twitter user Zach Rutta, who shared a picture of a melted Lyft battery on his account: "Yikes".

Sony threw us recently with the announcement of the Alpha A7R IV (above), just as everyone had their hopes raised for an A7S III, A7000 or an A9 Mark II – and that was before launching the seventh iteration in its RX100 line, the RX100 Mark VII. But it seems the company isn't done with unveiling new kit just yet. Multiple sources, including Mirrorless Rumors, report that Sony has just registered a camera with the codename WW942051. Details are scant right now, but the registration details state that the new model is registered for 5.8GHz, 5.1GHz and 2.4GHz wireless frequencies in addition to Bluetooth. 17 key differences between the Sony A7R IV vs Sony A7R IIIHere are the best full-frame mirrorless cameras right nowWhat else is coming? Here are the best camera rumors right nowThe A7R IV was the first camera to arrive with 5GHz wireless frequency support, so it makes sense that a future model will pack more than just the 2.4GHz band. Thing is, Sony already registered cameras earlier this year with the codenames WW594724, WW716189 and WW246025, in addition to a WW642826 model, solely for 2.4GHz frequencies. We can assume that one of these is the RX100 VII, which only works on the 2.4GHz band. The absence of any other bands here may well be explained by the fact that such a camera would not be used in the same way as the A7R IV, such as for wireless tethered shooting, where a fast and stable connection is paramount. So, news of additional Wi-Fi bands in this new registration information certainly points to a reasonably powerful model on the horizon.

Apex Legends is about to get a major new feature, something which players have been most actively badgering for – although we don’t know what said introduction will be. What we do know is this mysterious feature will come to the battle royale at some point in August, over the next few weeks and will be delivered with a big in-game event. Apex Legends is coming to your phoneApex Legends: which is the best character for your playstyleWhat will be the next battle royale hit?This comes straight from EA CEO Andrew Wilson, following the company’s recent boasting about the success of Apex Legends in its latest financial report, and how the battle royale was a major money-spinner alongside the likes of FIFA. In a related earnings call, Wilson revealed: “The event coming in the next few weeks will bring new content and deliver one of the most fan-requested features since the launch of Apex.” But what is it?So, what could this “most fan-requested feature” possibly be? Naturally, there are a pile of theories about that being floated in discussions between Apex Legends addicts. The two most common possibilities which crop up are cross-platform play, and solo or duo game modes (as opposed to the three-player squads the game currently uses). We don’t see it being cross-platform, ourselves, and don’t really rank that as a massively requested feature, at least from our anecdotal experience of hanging about Apex-related forums. However, introducing either solo or two-player squads is certainly something plenty of people have been going on about since the outset, and is a definite possibility. That said, the game is just bedding in relatively speaking – having only been with us for half a year, with EA planning on the battle royale running for some 10 years into the future (another assertion made along with that financial report). So it could be a little early in the overall timeline to make such a radical change. Plus, solo mode really does go against the squad-based fabric of Apex Legends, which is built around teamwork in a lot of respects (the superb ping system being an obvious example, and one of the game’s best innovations, much copied elsewhere). That said, we wouldn’t bet against solo or duo modes, although we’ve a feeling it would be the latter rather than the former due to those team-related concerns. Train, train, train…Our best hunch, however, would be the introduction of a much more extensive training mode. This has certainly been one of the most-requested features we’ve seen, and it’s something we’d love to have ourselves. It might consist of a better fleshed-out shooting gallery, with not just access to all guns, but all attachments so you could try out different combinations and see exactly how they affect the weapon in question. Being able to switch character from Lifeline would be a bonus, too. Because as it stands, trying out different attachment load-outs is difficult, because you actually have to find the correct bits and pieces in a match, and of course you’re distracted from evaluating things with any real precision because, you know, you’re busy trying to win and stuff (hopefully – either that, or you mess about and drag your team down, which isn’t fair on them). Some bots or more engaging targets, rather than the current static ones, wouldn’t go amiss, either. Here’s a theory: maybe the event could be some kind of PvE scrap in a new area, which then becomes the upgraded training ground going forward (with PvE bots to take pot-shots at). We are, obviously, just guessing here. Other outside possibilities include a kill cam (to replay your death in all its glory, or lack of it), which data-mined leaks have pointed to in the past. Or what about that survival mode, or recruit mode, as previously uncovered by similar data-mining endeavors? Extreme longshots, for sure, but we guess it wouldn’t be the first time we’ve been hit by an unfeasibly accurate sniper round out of the blue… These are the best gaming PCs of 2019Via Eurogamer http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/yA03XON-hvc

Cisco has agreed to pay $8.6m to settle a lawsuit filed on behalf of a whistleblower client who claims the software giant knowingly sold video surveillance systems to US federal and state agencies that could have been easily hacked because of critical software flaws. Attorney and partner at Phillips & Cohen, which handled the case, Claire M. Sylvia explained why the law firm took the client's case against the company, saying: “Our client raised important security concerns. We alleged in our complaint that the software flaws were so severe that they compromised the security of the video surveillance systems and any computer system connected to them.” Major security issues found in Cisco routersCisco backs US GDPR callsPrivacy experts reveal how to opt out of mass surveillanceThe software flaws were eventually addressed by Cisco and now the company will pay $2.6m to the federal government and up to $6m to 15 states, cities and counties as well as to the District of Columbia which purchased its video surveillance product. Video Surveillance ManagerThe federal settlement covers purchases of Cisco's internet protocol video surveillance product called Video Surveillance Manager from 2007 to 2014. Phillips & Cohen filed its lawsuit back in 2011 against the company on behalf of a former security consultant named James Glenn who worked for a Danish company that is a Cisco partner. Glenn was fired from his job after submitting a detailed report to Cisco in which he identified what he believed to be serious security flaws. The company's video surveillance system allows for the connection and management of multiple video cameras through a centralized server which gives users the ability to coordinate surveillance cameras at many locations at once. Cisco marketed its systems directly to government purchasers as it was particularly suited for their needs. This likely won't be the last of this kind of case that we see according to Sylvia who explained that whistleblowers who are ignored can use the law to their advantage, saying: “Cybersecurity products are an important piece of government spending these days, and it’s essential that those products comply with critical regulatory and contractual requirements. The tech industry can expect whistleblowers to continue to step forward when serious problems are ignored, thanks to laws that reward and protect them.” Protect your privacy online with the best VPN services of 2019http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/techradar/digital-home/~4/W16ToIBDOds

Subscription services are becoming the common way of consuming content, and with Netflix providing you films and TV, Spotify filling your ears, and Amazon Kindle Unlimited letting you read to your heart's content, the competition is now heating up for gaming equivalents. The battle is particularly fierce for mobile gaming, with Hatch and soon Apple Arcade vying for your eyes and thumbs, and it looks like Google has an equivalent on the way too. Certain users of the Google Play Store have noticed prompts from Google, suggesting they sign up to Google Play Pass, which looks to be a subscription service for apps and games on the Play Store. These images were shared with XDA Developers. These are the best Android gamesAnd these are the best Android phonesBut what are the best phones for gaming?According to the screenshots, Play Pass requires you to pay monthly, but that means you have unlimited free access to a curated list of apps from Google. On top of that, there will be no in-app ads, and in-app purchases will already be unlocked. Beyond games, a description in one screenshot suggests music and other apps will be included too, however the screenshots only actually show Stardew Valley and Marvel Pinball, both of which are paid games. At the moment, we don't know much about Google Play Pass, because these screenshots show Google is testing the service out, which implies it's not quite ready for release yet. TechRadar has contacted Google for comment, or any information, and will update this article when we hear back. Taking the competition to AppleEarlier in 2019 Apple unveiled the Apple Arcade, a subscription service that brings the best of Apple's App Store for a monthly fee. Apple Arcade will have over 100 exclusive games when it launches, but for now we don't know a release date or price for the service. As an Apple service, it will only be available on iPhone, iPad, and other Apple products, so only a relatively small number of phone owners will actually be able to use it. Therefore the Google Play Pass, which looks set to be a rather similar service, has a much larger built-in potential user base. Depending on the games offered, price, and release date, Google Play Pass could steal a lot of Apple Arcade's thunder, so it could be an interesting race between the two services. Is this 'Google Stadia lite?'Google Stadia, which is a cloud-based games streaming service hosted by – you guessed it – Google, is coming at the end of 2019. While it's mainly designed for computers and TVs, its also available on smartphones, so you can play from its library on the go. However its games are mostly console and PC ones, which means they're not designed for touch controls, and it looks like you need to use the Google Stadia Controller to play. In short, the service probably won't be great for gaming on the go. Therefore Google Play Pass would sit at a different point in the market, designed for people who love their phone games as opposed to those who want a console-like experience, and the two services theoretically won't compete. Could there be some cross-over between the services though? Only time will tell.

UK consumers are putting their security at risk by signing up to insecure free public Wi-Fi networks, researchers have warned. A report from BullGuard found that nearly four-fifths (79 percent) of public Wi-Fi users take significant risks when choosing a hotspot to connect to, often failing to check that the network they're connecting to is legitimate. Overall, 86 percent of daily public Wi-Fi users putting convenience ahead of safety when choosing hotspots, with nearly two-thirds (63 percent) of people connecting to public Wi-Fi daily have their devices set up to 'automatically connect to the strongest Wi-Fi signal', or to ‘automatically connect to Wi-Fi hotspots they've used before.’ Best mobile hotspots for 4G LTE and 5GHow to secure your Wi-Fi at home and in your businessBest Android antivirus app of 2019RiskyBullGuard's survey of 2,000 Brits found that instead of taking the time to check that a hotspot is legitimate, users often just pick a conenction based on Wi-fi- strength, a name that seems appropriate, or just picking any free option. However hackers often look to target victims with setting up real-sounding networks to try and fool people into choosing a malicious hotspot with the intention of stealing personal data. And many respondents were accessing Wi-Fi hotspots using very confidential data. More than a third of daily public Wi-Fi users log into personal accounts requiring a password, 22 percent use credit cards, and 31 percents log into online banking on potentially risky connections. “Brits are choosing convenience over safety, when using public Wi-Fi. The findings show that respondents do not feel safe online, yet they are ignoring their fears and are using hotspots without checking they are safe,” said Paul Lipman, CEO at BullGuard. “Hackers can easily set up malicious hotspots which appear to be legitimate and yet can intercept and record people’s personal data, allowing them to steal usernames, passwords, credit card details, bank account information and more.” Using a VPN would help protect many of these users by making their browsing habits protected, but the survey found 60 percent of users don’t use a VPN, with 57 percent of those respondents saying they think it’s too complicated or that they don’t know how to use one.

O2’s 5G network isn’t even launching until October, but as of today (August 1) you can already buy the Samsung Galaxy S10 5G on the network in preparation. The phone is available online and in-store, on plans starting at £51.64 per month, plus £30 upfront. Curiously these are all 4G plans, meaning even once 5G launches on the network you won’t be able to access it without changing plan. However, you’ll be free to do that. The Samsung Galaxy S10 5G is more than just a standard Galaxy S10 with added 5G. It has a quad-lens rear camera, a massive 6.7-inch 1440 x 3040 AMOLED screen, and a bigger battery (at 4,500mAh) than the rest of the range, along with other specs that are similarly high-end. Check out the best Galaxy S10 5G dealsRead our full Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus reviewThere are lots of other 5G phonesSo it could be worth upgrading your phone, whether 5G is a major selling point for you or not – though we noted in our hands-on review that the size makes it difficult to hold one-handed. If you do like the sound of it, make sure to check out our guide to the best Samsung Galaxy S10 5G deals. Of course, you might want to wait until O2’s 5G network is actually live. The company hasn’t said when in October that will be, but has revealed that parts of Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh, London, Slough and Leeds will initially get the super-fast data, with 20 towns and cities set to get it this year, and 50 by summer 2020. And if you don’t want the Galaxy S10 5G from O2 specifically, it’s also available on Vodafone and EE.

Qualcomm revenues fell by 13 per cent year-on-year to $4.9 billion during the third quarter of 2019, with struggles in China named as the main culprit. In particular, the company suffered from Huawei’s gains in its home market. Qualcomm is a major supplier for the likes of Xiaomi and Oppo, but Huawei manufacturers many of its components – including processors – in-house. Combined with the fact that many manufacturers are managing inventory as they prepare for the launch of 5G handsets over the next year or so, and it was a challenging quarter for the San Diego-based chip giant. Intel abandons 5G modem plansApple and Qualcomm settle litigationWhat is 5G? Everything you need to knowQualcomm Q3However, the company is confident that demand for 5G components coupled with licensing fees for its patents will see it in a better place by 2020. “Today, we are the only chipset vendor that has 5G system level solutions spanning both sub6 GHz and millimetre bands,” declared CEO Steve Mollenkopf. “This is key to global deployments. “On the product side, our 5G design wins have doubled since our last earnings call. We now have over one hundred fifty 5G designs launched or in-development using our 5G chipsets. In addition to core chipsets, virtually all our 5G design wins are powered by our complete RF Front-End solutions for 5G Sub6 and / or millimetre wave. We are the only company today delivering an end-to-end comprehensive modem-to-antenna solution. “Put simply, our position – at the center of developing this incredible technology – represents a large opportunity for our stockholders. By the first calendar quarter of 2020, we anticipate reaching the inflection point as our financial results.” Aside from its operating income, Qualcomm recognised a payment of up to $4.7 billion from Apple in its quarterly results. The payment is for unpaid royalties during the two firms patent dispute, which was resolved earlier this year.

Ricoh Imaging, owner of the Pentax brand, is no stranger to releasing slightly modified versions of existing Pentax DSLRs. Its most recent KP J, for example, was little more than a premium version of its KP (pictured above), while the K-1 Mark II was such a minor update of its K-1 predecessor that owners of the latter were able upgrade their existing K-1 bodies for a fee. Read our in-depth Pentax K-70 reviewWhat cameras are coming next? The best camera rumors right nowHere are the 10 best full-frame camerasNow another modified version of its KP DSLR has quietly surfaced on Ricoh Imaging's Japanese website, designed specifically for infrared photography. The model, spotted by ePhotozine, appears to have the same specs as the original KP, with a 24.3MP APS-C sensor, a five-axis image stabilization system and a weather-sealed body. However, while the regular KP follows the norm of having an infrared cut-off filter in front of its sensor, the KP IR swaps this for a glass filter that admits infrared radiation to around 1100nm. The sensors inside a typical camera are sensitive to wavelengths in both the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, and in the infrared region that lies just beyond this. To ensure that images are only captured using visible wavelengths, the convention is to place an infrared filter in front of the sensor to stop those wavelengths from getting through. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/nsVZx39ZCGQLLnVZprfhSV.jpg The KP J, a luxury version of the KP, was announced a few months ago. Removing the filter makes the camera sensitive to wavelengths in both areas of the spectrum, which gives the user the freedom to block one or the other by attaching a filter to the front of the lens. Ricoh claims that when a filter is used to block infrared radiation – thus letting through only visible light – performance will be almost the same as that of the regular KP. So why no fanfare around the IR KP's release? Probably for the same reason that you won't ever get to use one – namely that the camera is aimed at "libraries, museums, research institutes, government agencies and other specialized institutions". So if you don't work for one of those, you're probably out of luck. While Ricoh Imaging hasn't released any entirely new DSLRs since the KP, it has continued to develop its DSLR lens range with the announcement of the HD Pentax-DA 10-17mm f/3.5-4.5 ED Fisheye and HD Pentax-FA 35mm f/2 AL earlier this year. This follows the release of the HD Pentax-D FA* 50mm f/1.4 SDM AW and HD Pentax-DA* 11-18mm f/2.8. Additionally, the company has promised that an HD Pentax-D FA* 85mm f/1.4 will shortly be with us, while the GR compact camera line also received a new member in the shape of the GR III earlier this year.

Having been thrashed 4-0 in the last Ashes series, today marks the start of England's bid to win back the legendary urn. England go into the opening Test today off the back of their World Cup triumph, but slightly blunted by a shaky showing in their one-off warm up Test against Ireland. Australia will be out to rectify a recent bad run of results on their oldest rival's turf, having not won an Ashes series on English soil in almost 15 years. No matter the circumstances, the Ashes are always worthy of celebrating and utterly unmissable - so we've put together this guide to watching an England vs Australia 1st Test live stream from wherever you happen to be in the world. Despite his World Cup heroics, Jofra Archer has been left out of the England squad for the first Test, with Chris Woakes preferred on his home ground having impressed against Ireland last week. England's all-time wicket taker Jimmy Anderson is fit and the veteran makes the line up, while Rory Burns and Jason Roy are set to open the batting with Joe Root slotting in at three in the order. Aussie skipper Tim Paine has kept his cards close to his chest regarding his line up, but Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft are all making their first Test appearances since the South Africa ball tampering scandal. They've chosen Peter Siddle over Mitchell Starc, in the biggest surprise in the XI. England lead the betting with Betfair, but with rain expected in Birmingham throughout the duration of the first Test, a draw could well be on the cards here. Follow the instructions below to watch all of the coverage of the Ashes from Edgbaston. We'll tell you how to grab an England vs Australia 1st Test live stream from pretty much anywhere on Earth.

Monday August 5 is confirmed to be the big day when we’ll hear all about the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2, but it’s starting to look like there won’t be much more to learn considering the device has leaked again. Two new leaks have shown us press shots of the upcoming smartwatch, and each leak suggests we’ll see a similarly designed device to the original Galaxy Watch Active. Will we get a Samsung Galaxy Watch 2?The very best Samsung smartwatchesEverything we know about the Galaxy Note 10The biggest leak today is a press shot of the Under Armor edition of the Galaxy Watch Active 2 that was provided by famed Twitter leaker Evan Blass. We've heard in previous reports that this version of the device exists, but this is the first time we've seen the design. The watch itself seems to be identical to the standard model, but the leak says it will only be available in a Bluetooth version rather than an LTE model. It also apparently comes with a special sports strap that is made of silicone and comes in either black or white. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/AieM2sKfgK7CABJ56fcQxM.jpg You'll also apparently get MapMyRun integration on the Under Armor version of the watch, and it's rumored you'll be offered six months of access to the premium service when you buy the device. It's said be available in both 40mm and 44mm sizes. A separate leak from Android Headlines also shows the Galaxy Watch Active 2, but this isn't the Under Armor variant and instead shows the colors of the standard edition. Those are set to be gold, silver and black, which you can see fully in the press shot below. http://cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net/pLNTegKQnXV2iohq62FpLm.jpg Other rumors for the Galaxy Watch Active 2 include an ECG monitor, LTE support (on at least one version of the device) and an innovative new touch-based bezel where you can run your finger around the edges of the watch to interact with it. We're set to learn all on August 5, as Samsung has confirmed on its website that it is announcing a new smartwatch then. Yesterday Samsung unveiled its latest tablet - that's the Galaxy Tab S6 - and the company is expected to reveal the new Galaxy Note 10 on August 7, a few days after the smartwatch unveiling.

There’s little doubt that Samsung is going to announce a Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G on August 7, alongside the rest of the Note 10 range, but now we have a better idea of when you’ll actually be able to buy it, with August 23 looking likely. That date is written on the screen of the phone in a leaked press render, obtained by Android Headlines, and while that doesn’t guarantee that this is when the phone will go on sale, the dates in such images are rarely chosen at random. This also isn’t the only evidence of an August 23 launch date, as the site points out that back in mid-July, Yonhap News (a South Korean publication) pointed to the same date for the Note 10 range – so it’s likely that all three models (the Galaxy Note 10, Note 10 Plus and Note 10 Plus 5G) will all go on sale that day, though as ever we’d take this with a pinch of salt for now. The iPhone 11 is also coming soonThere are already a number of 5G phonesSee what we thought of the Galaxy S10 5GDate aside, the render matches what we’ve seen before, showing a phone with minimal bezel, a punch-hole camera, and a rectangular shape. This isn’t the only Galaxy Note 10 leak of the day though, as an actual photo of the Samsung Galaxy Note 10 seems to have been posted on Underkg (a South Korean site), again matching what we’ve seen before. If you’re worried about the large black line on the right edge – don’t be. @UniverseIce (a reliable leaker) claims this is simply a shadow. The same source also shared a photo of what appears to be the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2, and this also matches the various leaks we’ve seen previously, complete with two buttons on the right edge and seemingly no rotating bezel, so at this point we have a very good idea of what to expect from both devices. And it won’t be long before they’re officially unveiled either, as we're expecting the Watch Active 2 to be announced on August 5, and the Galaxy Note 10 on August 7.

It found that more than 4.3 billion credentials were leaked in data dumps last year, meaning a huge number of user accounts are at risk of being compromised. The company found that although "99.9 percent" of attacks get through, anyone affected by that remaining 0.01 percent would be ten times more likely to have their accounts hijacked by hackers - a figure that rises to around 5000 times more likely if they were the victim of a phishing attack. The "phishing-resistant" security key looks to prevent such compromises by taking the security onus away from the user. The products feature an embedded security chip with Google-written firmware that acts as a middle man between your device and a website's server, flagging any malicious sites or domains that may have been installed via malware and preventing users from gaining access. The product comes in both USB and Bluetooth versions, and is available now to the public via Google's online Store from today for £50.
