Behind The Scenes of Shooting Entire Apple's Scary Event on iPhone 15 Pro Max
The 30-minute long M3 family chipset launch event was shot on an iPhone and edited on a Mac
All presenters, locations, and drone footage were shot on iPhone 15 Pro Max
Apple has now published BTS of shooting the event on iPhone which required the help of a full suite of professional recording equipment costing tens of thousands of dollars and studio lighting
So, it’s not like everyday folks can recreate these kinds of results at home unless they happen to own a shedload of ludicrously expensive equipment.
But even if Apple had used a DSLR camera like in its previous events, the same equipment and lightning were still required.
This was a neat way to promote the recording quality of iPhones, unlike some brands that make youtube videos comparing their smartphone's capabilities with iPhones or they do in their launch event even after shamelessly copying everything from iPhone

A Chinese creator discovered that Xiaomi 14 series can also be used for hammering nails
Xiaomi is using an in-house Longjing glass, also known as Dragon Crystal Glass, to display protection on its flagship Xiaomi 14 Pro
Xiaomi claimed that Longjing glass is more durable & scratch-resistant compared to regular smartphone glass
But, Glass is Glass.
And Glass breaks!
Anyways, A Chinese creator discovered that Xiaomi 14 Pro can also be used for hammering nails into the wood.
Plus, it can also be used for breaking walnuts as well like the Honor 90
Imagine the convenience: you're in the middle of a home improvement project, and you can't find your trusty hammer.
No problem, just grab your Xiaomi 14 Pro and start nailing away
While other companies are busy improving cameras and battery life, Xiaomi is out here revolutionizing the smartphone into your one-stop hammer and nutcracker!
Next Target: Breaking DEEZ NUTS

Elon Musk is offering 1 Billion$ to Facebook and Wikipedia
You might have seen a popup for donations to Wikipedia saying "Wikipedia isn't for sale" and please donate to keep this alive and free
Now, Elon Musk is offering $1 Billion to Wikipedia under the condition that it changes its name to “Dickipedia.”
Elon Musk has even generously offered to give Mark Zuckerberg $1 billion to simply change Facebook's name to "Faceboob."
"Think of how much happier everyone will be logging onto 'Faceboob'," said Mr. Musk.

Face Unlock on the Pixel 8 series meets the highest Android biometric class
Source
Biometric authentication models are classified into 3 tiers: Class 3 (formerly Strong), Class 2 (formerly Weak), or Class 1 (formerly Convenience).
Class 3 & Class 2 biometrics can integrate with Biometric Prompt (i.e authenticate within apps). But Class 2 CANNOT integrate with the keystore.
Check the Biometric Class of your phone's fingerprint or face unlock:
1. ADB method
2. Termux (root required)
Modality of 2 means fingerprint scanner, while modality of 8 means face scanner.
Strength of 15 is Class 3, strength of 255 is Class 2, and strength of 4095 is Class 1. (The biometric strengths are defined here while the modalities are defined here.)
Pixel 8 is the FIRST device to offer Class 3 biometrics just by using RGB front camera, WITHOUT any additional hardware
FunFact: Face unlock on XIAOMI smartphones is NOT even registered with biometric API.

Nothing Phone 2's Face Unlock can be Bypassed with the help of a cardboard cutout
YouTube
The selfie camera in most phones is still a 2D image
Smartphones with 3D Face Unlock like Pixel 4 XL & iPhones with face ID use an array of sensors to store depth information
Google has made face unlock on the Pixel 8 series robust by using "machine learning advancements" instead of using additional sensors
A Youtuber tested Face Unlock security on 3 smartphones — Nothing Phone 2, Pixel 8 Pro & iPhone 15 Pro
Pixel 8 Pro struggled when using polarized sunglasses. It was either a hit or miss
While using a mask, ONLY iPhone 15 Pro was able to unlock easily
Then YouTuber tried a cardboard cutout with a high-resolution picture of his face to trick the system
Nothing Phone 2 unlocked the smartphone everytime while iPhone 15 Pro & Pixel 8 Pro did not
Nothing Phone 2 face unlock gets fooled
That's why class-2 biometric face unlock is NOT advised for use for banking apps & password managers

Vivo unveils self-developed BlueOS based on Rust Language!
Vivo revealed BlueOS, its new operating system, at the 2023 Developer Conference. Key features include smart interactions, enhanced user experience, and robust data safety. BlueOS, based on Rust Language, supports diverse input methods like voice, text, gestures, and even brain waves. It also integrates the BlueXlink connection protocol.
Vivo says that BlueOS has reduced memory usage by 67% and increased rendering efficiency by 48%. It features a super coroutine mechanism that can increase response speed by 18%. Security benefits stem from the Rust-based system framework, reducing vulnerabilities related to memory usage.
BlueOS can run on a variety of devices with as little as 32MB of RAM, making it suitable for various gadgets, from smart home appliances to wearables. While it won't initially be on Vivo smartphones, the upcoming Vivo Watch 3 will be the first device to feature BlueOS.

Apple called Android a "massive tracking device"
According to the documents disclosed by the US Department of Justice (DOJ) from the ongoing Google antitrust trial, Apple called Android a “massive tracking device.” in an internal presentation
The presentation was made in 2013 & was emailed from Eddy Cue to CEO Tim Cook.
It is noscriptd “Competing on Privacy" & dove into how Apple’s competitors handled privacy & user data.
Apple combines data only when it elevates the user experience. Meanwhile, Google combines data across services, without any reason.
IRONICALLY, despite Apple describing Android as a massive tracking device, an internal Google email from 2016 shows that Apple wanted data sharing with Google to be reciprocal
Apple wanted to know:
• Which links were clicked on
• How long it took to satisfy a user's query
In the email, Google told Apple they don’t share information about what users click on in Google Search.
However, Google did had a data exchange proposal
Honestly, ALL smartphones track you, be it Android or iOS.
Privacy is just a MYTH

Interesting Hardware details about Google Pixel 8 series
Samsung announced ISOCELL S5KGNK sensor, offering 50MP resolution & 1/1.3-inch sensor size.
Pixel 8 series is the FIRST device to use this sensor.
It features staggered HDR technology, collaborating with 3 distinct ISO modes delivering images with a dynamic range of up to 102dB.
The Smart-ISO Pro, operating on a single-frame basis minimizes motion artifacts, resulting in images with impressive color depth of up to 14-bit.
In low-light, it combines neighboring pixels to form larger 2.4μm pixels.
In bright lighting, the on-chip "remosaic technology" maximizes the benefit of Tetrapixel
It also features Dual Pixel Pro Autofocus and allows for 8K video recording at 30fps
Pixel 8 series is also the FIRST device to use the Samsung E7 AMOLED LTPO display
Regular Pixel 8 uses displays from both BOE & Samsung while the Pixel 8 Pro uses Samsung E7 Display only
