Sony Xperia XZ Launched in Nepal for Rs. 75,000
 Nepa Hima Trade Link Pvt. Ltd., the authorized distributor of Sony products in Nepal, has officially launched its new flagship – Sony Xperia XZ at Labim Mall, Lalitpur today. The device is a successor to the Sony Xperia X and is priced at Rs. 75,000. Prebookers get a Sony Headphones (XB250) worth around Rs. 20,000 for free.
The Xperia XZ is a good looking device with rounded edges which is sure to help make the phone easy to hold and handle. It boasts a gorilla glass up front, polycarbonate frame and ALKALEIDO metal on the back. Specs-wise, the Xperia XZ features a 5.2-inch full-HD (1080×1920 pixels) display at 424 ppi. The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 820 processor with 3GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage.
In 2016, phones have been coming back to housing a slot for microSD and the Xperia XZ has followed that trend. It can support external storage up to 256GB. It will support Quick Charge 3.0 and a USB Type-C reversible connector. It comes with a 23 MP camera with an IMX300 sensor. The camera has a f/2.0 aperture with laser autofocus for fast focusing, color detection, and phase detection autofocus. It features a Non-removable Li-Ion 2900 mAh battery.

The all-new Sony Xperia XZ comes at a time when all flagships have been opting for Quad-HD display. Also, the phone runs on 3GB of RAM which was the base for all devices in the previous year. It may run smoothly but if you’re looking an all-new amazing device with all new hardware and specs, you might be disappointed. The battery capacity might support the 1080×1920 display fairly but it is still below what we expect smartphones to house at the present time. So, it must be the camera that Sony is counting on for this device to be a hit.

Huawei P10 leaked with Dual Edge Curved Display

Huawei P10 leaked with Dual Edge Curved Display

Dual Edge display is something we are really hyped about in 2017. This year we got the taste of edge to edge display and dual edge display (Galaxy Note 7) which didn’t last very long to relish. Huawei’s flagship phones always had the industrial design which we commonly find on most of the smartphones which are really not that intriguing. But with the P10, Huawei seems to be taking the step in the right direction as the new leaks suggest the phone will be coming with a dual edge display like the Huawei’s own Mate 9(Porsche Edition) with some additional improvements.

As Samsung adopted the dual curved edge display earlier, most of the phone that comes with the same aesthetics are likely to be a Samsung Lookalike and this is true for the P10. It looks exactly like the Note 7 and Huawei branding is the only thing that makes us acknowledge it’s a P10. It comes with a 5.5inch (2560 x 1440 pixels)Quad HD display which is a bump from the 5.2-inch display in the Huawei P9. Huawei is also adding few new features to go along with the Edge display to make it more functional.

Huawei P10

Huawei has also shifted the fingerprint sensor from the back to the front of the phone which will act as a Home Button which is a welcome change. But in the renders, there is also a fingerprint sensor on the back which is really confusing. Despite the looks, Huawei has stuck with their roots providing the Dual Camera setup most probably for the bokeh effect or they might come up with something interesting. Leaked benchmarks showed the rear camera is of 12MP and the front is 8MP which is exactly like the Huawei P9. The leaks suggest the phone will also come with Fast Wireless Charging feature which will be the first for Huawei.

P10 is supposedly powered by Kirin 960 processor used in Mate 9 and comes with either 4GB or 6GB of RAM based on storage of 64GB or 128GB respectively. It will also be running on latest version of EMUI on top of Android Nougat. And to our surprise, P10 will also come in a flat version, which would be equivalent of S7 for the S7 Edge. We saw the launch of Huawei  P9 in April this year so we can expect the P10 to launch around the similar time in 2017. We expect the price of P10 to be around $800 considering its top tier specs and pricing of other flagships.

Your computer is used for malicious activities (botnet)!

Your computer is used for malicious activities (botnet)!

I wrote about DDoS attack a few days ago. And, the power of a DDoS attack is directly proportional to the number of Botnets (compromised systems) that attackers have access to. So, it is really necessary that we find out if our devices are controlled by hackers. Also, hackers may have been stealing your private information by making you their slave.  In this article, we will talk about what botnet is, why it is dangerous and how to stay safe.

What is a Botnet?

In simple terms, a network of the infected devices is called a botnet. These infected devices can communicate with each other without the knowledge of the device owner. For example, when a malware(virus) infects your computer, the malware can send information about you to other infected computers; and you won’t have a clue. Then, these infected computers, called as “bot”, connect with each other to form a botnet.

Once a botnet is formed, the malware maker (hacker) can remotely control all the devices in the network. Since the device owners won’t know about the activities of their computer (once they are in a botnet), devices in the botnet are sometimes referred as zombie computers.

How is a botnet created?

First of all, an attacker creates or buys exploit kit. Then, with the help of the tools, they infect your computer with a malware. After that, the malware does all the job– the malware starts connecting with other malware on other infected devices by logging to command-and-control (C&C) server. This way, based on the quality and capability of the bot (malware), the bot can create a large or a small botnet. A famous bot these days is Mirai which targets IoT devices.

Why is botnet dangerous?

Because, first of all, anyone with a little computer knowledge can create a botnet in 15 minutes. And, botnets can be used for following malicious activities.

  1. The master of a botnet can use the network to send millions of spam emails in seconds.
  2. Botnets are an essential part of making a strong DDoS attack– making websites unavailable by overflooding the website with fake traffic.
  3. Steal the credentials (username, password) of the infected computer– if your computer is a part of a botnet, your private data is under threat.
  4. Use the resources of infected devices for Brute-force attacks (for cracking passwords).

Since the botnets are like robot warriors that can spread like a virus, hackers can use if for their deeds and not even get caught. So, we, device owners, must take safety measures to prevent our devices from being infected (if you are not already infected).

Signs that your computer may be already infected:

  1. Your computer is becoming slower.
  2. You get weird error messages on your computer.
  3. Your computer crashes more often.
  4. Task Manager shows various unidentified programs running.
  5. Ads are displayed even when you are not running a browser.
  6. You see posts that you didn’t post on your social media timeline.
  7. Your email contacts receive emails from you that you didn’t send.
  8. You cannot download/run antivirus softwares.
  9. Your computer’s fan seems to be kicking in even when the system is idle.

How to prevent your computer from being a zombie?

  1. Always check for services running on your computer using Task Manager. If you see any unwanted or suspicious services that are running, disable them.
  2. Update your anti-virus regularly (if you are using one).
  3. Change the password of your router and other devices regularly.
  4. Some malware can hide from normal anti-virus software, so download and run a rootkit detection tool to be sure.
  5. Do not download or click pop-ups ads. Ignore them!
  6. When you are installing a software, be sure to check if other Softwares are also being installed with it.
  7. Do not open E-mail attachments from unknown sources.
  8. If you are already infected, it is better to wipe your computer. And then scan your device with anti-virus software.
  9. Finally, monitor your internet activity using Firewall.

STAY SAFE!

Internet of Things and AI : What, How and When

Internet of Things and AI : What, How and When

Internet of Things (IoT) is something so deep and complex and it will take more than a post to fully understand it. I would like to share what I know about it in simple words possible. IoT is a revolutionary change in the electronics industry. Things will be simpler and complex at the same time with its wide application in near future.

Starting with what exactly is IoT, it is a concept of connecting any and every device to the internet. Then we can easily operate them right from our phones or computer. Let’s say, when your home appliance has IoT you can turn them on or off from literally anywhere provided that both you and your appliance have the internet connection. You can check their status and access their data as well. IoT when combined with AI, we are going to be in the future that we’ve been thinking about since long.

When devices will have IoT, they can communicate with other devices as well just like any two people with internet would do. With the installation of devices with IoT, any home would be a smart home. All the devices can be automated, monitored and controlled right from a phone. You could make your coffee maker brew coffee for you right from your bed after you wake up.

Different industries are working on AI and IoT and once they make it happen to the commercial level, life is gonna be much simpler by then. The fridge will itself add milk to your grocery list on your phone when you’ll run out of it. The car will look at your schedule on the phone and take you to your first destination through shortest route. For Instance, if your printer at work has IoT and AI and it happens to run low on ink. Then, it will by itself order a toner refill kits. Everything, literally everything will get smarter and productive.

If you remember it correctly, I told you things will just not get simpler but will get more complex as well after IoT will be widely accepted. There will be billions of devices connected to the internet. They’ll add huge data to the servers every second. Plus, the bandwidth of Internet, one needs to have at home or work will exceed exponentially. Not only that, the digital threat will increase for sure. Can you imagine someone might be able to hack into your system through the bread toaster in your kitchen.

Big names in Tech Industry including Microsoft, Google, Amazon and others are doing everything they can to make IoT and AI available to everyone. Recently, Google introduced its new OS for IoT, namely Android Things. Actually, Google didn’t build something new but it’s a rebranding of its older version of OS for IoT named “Brillo”. There are already many other OS for IoT. This one by Google can be expected to be a good hit if the electronics manufacturers worldwide start working with it. Well, we can be hopeful for IoT to turn into reality in days to come. But still, how sooner or later it will take for us to enjoy IoT and AI, is something we can’t say at the moment. How excited or laid-back are you regarding the IoT? What device in your home/work you want to have IoT and why? Share with us in the comments.
