There have been so many Galaxy S10 leaks over the past few days that it’s nearly impossible to keep up with them all. We’re still nearly two weeks away from Samsung’s Unpacked event, where the Galaxy S10 series and the Galaxy F foldable phone are expected to be unveiled, but at the rate the leaks are springing up, there won’t be anything left to unveil. Which brings us to another major leak, spoiling one of the S10’s most interesting features.

On Wednesday, WinFuture’s Roland Quandt shared what appears to be an official press photo of the (unannounced) Galaxy Buds sitting on top of the (also unannounced) Galaxy S10+. The Galaxy Buds are rumored to be true wireless headphones — Samsung’s answer to Apple’s AirPods — and they will likely make their debut alongside the S10 and Galaxy F on February 20th. But this photo also hints at how the two upcoming devices will interact.

$%name A clever Netflix feature that was exclusive to Android is finally coming to iPhone by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

It’s not that often that we see non-Google apps get exclusive features on Android, but it does happen, and Netflix proved as much back in July when it released a clever trick for its Android app. At the time, however, the company said that iOS would also get the feature by the end of 2018. Netflix missed that deadline, but the company on Thursday announced that the Smart Downloads feature is finally ready for your iPhone or iPad.

Good news, all of you Skype users who’ve been known to participate in calls in rooms that look like a disaster behind you — or who, you know, sit for a TV interview via Skype while your children parade around behind you. Microsoft has added a new feature to its chat service that might mitigate situations like those, and others: A background blur that relies on artificial intelligence to focus on the caller, to the exclusion of what’s around them.

Spectrum plans another inexplicable fee hike just four months after the last one

Posted on February 7, 2019February 7, 2019 by Authcom

$%name Spectrum plans another inexplicable fee hike just four months after the last one by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

If you get your cable through Spectrum, prepare for your bill to inexplicably go up next month. According to the Los Angeles Times, Spectrum will increase its “broadcast TV” fee — which subscribers pay to access local channels — from $9.95 to $11.99 on March 1st. This in itself shouldn’t surprise cable subscribers, as fee increases are a dime a dozen lately, but the hike comes just four months after the same fee was increased from $8.85.

As the LA Times explains, this is said to be the result of a recent battle between Charter Communications (the parent company of Spectrum) and Tribune Media. Multiple channels were dropped from the service last month, but the two sides eventually settled, and the new price is theoretically to help Charter recoup the costs.

$%name iOS 12.1.4, Apple’s update that fixes the FaceTime bug, is now available to download by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley$

Apple has finally pushed out a software update that offers a permanent fix for that embarrassing FaceTime bug that was disclosed almost two weeks ago and which resulted in an unwelcome barrage of negative publicity for a tech giant that’s made privacy a centerpiece of its corporate brand.

The fix comes in the form of a new iOS update available now — iOS 12.1.4 — which corrects the bug that allowed users with the latest iOS software to initiate a call to anyone via FaceTime and immediately start hearing audio on the other person’s end even before they accepted or rejected the call. Apple quickly disabled the Group FaceTime capability last Monday as it prepped a fix, then said a software update correcting the problem would come by the end of last week before acknowledging a slight delay.

Reports not too long ago said that Apple is designing yet another key iPhone component in-house to cut its reliance on outsideparty suppliers. That’s the phone’s modem, which was previously a Qualcomm-exclusive contract before Apple moved to Intel parts, while simultaneously engaging Qualcomm in a complicated legal battle relating to royalties and patents. But a new report now provides an exciting twist. The same team that’s been responsible for creating the most powerful mobile processors on the planet is apparently now in charge of making Apple modems for its iPhone line.
