Will they make people create separate pages or will your posts be able to be separated into "buckets", personal vs professional? We don't know that yet. However, it seems that Patent Filing Application Number: US 2023/0177466 A1 might indicate that Meta wants to beat job posting sites like Indeed, CareerBuilder, and others. Given its current juggernaut of an App, Facebook, it would not surprise me if they are thinking of stomping on the grounds of professional services on social media sites. Who knows, they could be launching their very own version of Fiverr or Upwork. Really, at this time, no one knows. But it is interesting to see that machine learning is becoming more important than ever.</p><p><br /></p><p>What are your thoughts on this?

It's your boy Danny Alvarez here, and today we're talking about what you should do when you first get a new Android phone, specifically a Galaxy device. Now, one of the first things you should do is get rid of all the apps you know you won't be using. I mean, come on, Galaxy phones come loaded with so many pre-installed Samsung apps, and let's be real, a lot of them aren't really all that useful. So, in this article, we're gonna give you a list of common Samsung and Google apps that you can either uninstall or disable on your Galaxy phone to save storage, battery life, and processing power. You can find all these apps in the App menu in your device settings.</p><p><br /></p><p>First off, let's talk about the Samsung apps that you can just go ahead and uninstall. I mean, one of the worst things about Samsung phones is all the bloatware that comes pre-installed, and while some of it might be useful, a lot of it just doesn't really add much value. So, here's a list of Samsung apps that you can uninstall from your Galaxy device: Samsung Internet, Samsung Members, Samsung Music, Samsung Kids, Bixby Dictation, DECO PIC, Game Booster Plus, Health Platform, Samsung Health, Samsung Notes Add-ons, Smart Switch, Samsung Translator, and Voice Recorder. Now, uninstalling these apps isn't gonna ruin your phone or anything, but there are definitely some useful pre-installed Samsung apps that you might want to keep.</p><p><br /></p><p>Next up, let's talk about the Samsung apps that you can't actually uninstall, but you can disable them. These are apps that are built into the system itself, so you can't get rid of them completely, but you can turn them off to save battery life, RAM, and processing power. And if you really don't use certain apps, you can also hide them from your Home screen or app drawer. So, make sure to check out this list and see which apps you can get rid of or disable on your new Galaxy phone. And as always, hit me up with any questions or comments. Peace out.</p><div aria-live="assertive" id="HTML5audiodescriptionwithscreenreaderannouncement" role="alert" style="height: 1px; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; top: -10px; width: 1px;" tabindex="-1"></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Wireless News, Information, and Commentary at your fingertips.

These are the two main operating systems available on mobile devices, and they have some key differences that may influence your decision. Here's a rundown of some of the main distinctions between Android and iOS:</div><div><br></div><div>Development and maintenance: Android is an open-source operating system developed by Google, which means that anyone can use and modify the source code. iOS, on the other hand, is proprietary software developed by Apple and is only available on Apple devices.</div><div><br></div><div>Range of devices: Android can be found on a wide range of devices from different manufacturers, such as phones, tablets, and TVs from companies like Samsung, LG, and Motorola. iOS, however, is only available on Apple products like the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.</div><div><br></div><div>User interface: Android and iOS have some differences in their user interface as well. Android uses a virtual button bar for navigation, while iOS uses a home button and swiping gestures. Android also allows for more customization of the home screen and overall appearance, while iOS has a more standardized look and feel.</div><div><br></div><div>App stores and app selection: The Google Play Store, which is the default app store for Android devices, has a larger selection of apps than the App Store for iOS. However, iOS is generally considered to have a higher quality selection of apps, as Apple has stricter guidelines for app submissions and updates.</div><div><br></div><div>Ultimately, the choice between Android and iOS will come down to personal preferences and needs. Android may be a good fit for those who want a wider range of devices and more flexibility in terms of customization and app selection. iOS may be a better choice for those who prioritize a consistent user experience.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Wireless News, Information, and Commentary at your fingertips.

The latest leak comes in the form of official promotional images from 91Mobiles, giving us our first look at the Galaxy S23+, Galaxy S23 Ultra, and some existing wearable devices such as the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and the Galaxy Watch 5.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Galaxy S23+ is shown in a stylish pink color, while the Galaxy S23 Ultra is shown in a bold green. Both of these colors were previously discussed in an exclusive report published just a few days ago. In terms of design, the S23+ appears to take inspiration from the S22 Ultra, featuring individual camera rings on the rear and slightly curved edges. The S23 is expected to have a similar design, although with a smaller overall size due to its smaller screen.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Galaxy S23 Ultra looks very similar to its predecessor, the S22 Ultra, but with a few subtle changes. One noticeable difference is the body-colored camera rings on the rear for three of its four cameras, as opposed to the black rings seen on the S22 Ultra. The S23 Ultra also reportedly features an upgraded front camera with a 12MP sensor, housed in a punch-hole-shaped display cutout.</p><p><br /></p><p>In addition to these new Galaxy smartphones, the promotional images also show off the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro and the Galaxy Watch 5, giving us a glimpse at Samsung's full line-up of products. As we count down to the official launch event, be sure to keep an eye out for more information about these exciting new devices.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div aria-live="assertive" id="HTML5audiodescriptionwithscreenreaderannouncement" role="alert" style="height: 1px; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; top: -10px; width: 1px;" tabindex="-1"></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Wireless News, Information, and Commentary at your fingertips.

According to a recent report from The Information, a flaw was discovered in the GPU late in the phone's development that caused it to draw too much power. In order to improve the device's battery life and thermals, Apple had to switch the A16 Bionic chip's GPU to that of the previous generation A15 found in the iPhone 13.</p><p><br /></p><p>This setback was reportedly a major one in Apple's hardware design history, leading to a shakeup in the company's graphics processing team and broader talent loss among the company's hardware design teams. If the iPhone 14 Pro had launched with ray tracing, it would have been able to compete with Android devices featuring Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 platform, which supports ray tracing and Unreal Engine 5.</p><p><br /></p><p>While ray tracing is still mostly exclusive to current-generation game consoles and recent mid to high-end PC graphics cards, it is starting to appear on mobile hardware as well. Flagship devices like the Xiaomi 13 series, Moto X40, and Vivo X90 Pro+ are already on the market powered by Qualcomm's latest SoC, while others from Asus, OnePlus, and Sony are on the way.</p><p><br /></p><p>Imagination Technologies demonstrated an early attempt at mobile ray tracing last year with its PowerVR IMG-CXT, and in June of this year, Arm announced the Immortalis G715, a mobile GPU supporting ray tracing and variable rate shading.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately, Apple's mishap with the iPhone 14 Pro has put the device behind the competition in terms of GPU performance. Graphics processing benchmarks show that the A16 Bionic is behind the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 and MediaTek's Dimensity 9200 – the first Immortalis G715 chip.</p><p><br /></p><p>While the Apple Silicon version of Resident Evil Village currently lacks ray tracing, unlike the Windows, PS5, and Xbox Series versions, the game menu simply grays it out in the settings rather than removing it entirely. This could be interpreted as a hint that upcoming Apple Silicon was meant to support ray tracing. Once Apple is able to successfully incorporate ray tracing into its silicon, it is likely to appear in both mobile and desktop chips.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div aria-live="assertive" id="HTML5audiodescriptionwithscreenreaderannouncement" role="alert" style="height: 1px; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; top: -10px; width: 1px;" tabindex="-1"></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Wireless News, Information, and Commentary at your fingertips.

According to these same users, Apple Support has said the issue is not due to hardware defects, but rather a bug in iOS 16. Reports of the problem have emerged on Reddit, the Apple Support forums (1,2,3), and the MacRumors forum, and some users have claimed the issue began after installing the iOS 16.2 update, while others have reported the issue on older versions of iOS 16. One Reddit user stated that an Apple engineer told them the company is working on a software patch for the issue, but no further details were provided. </p><p>Apple is currently testing iOS 16.3 with developers and public beta testers, but the update is not expected to be released until early next year. The latest version of iOS 16 is iOS 16.2, which introduced several new features such as Apple Music Sing and the Freeform app.</p><div aria-live="assertive" id="HTML5audiodescriptionwithscreenreaderannouncement" role="alert" style="height: 1px; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; top: -10px; width: 1px;" tabindex="-1"></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Wireless News, Information, and Commentary at your fingertips.

And while all three companies have their fair share of loyal fans, there can only be one winner in this race. So, which phone comes out on top? We took a close look at the new Google Pixel 7 Pro to see how it stacks up against the competition.</p><p><b>Pixel 7 Pro Machine Learning is Top-Notch</b></p><p>The Google Pixel 7 Pro is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor, which includes the Adreno 660 GPU. This machine learning-enabled processor gives the phone an edge when it comes to photo quality and image processing. The new Google Camera app takes advantage of this processing power to offer features like Portrait Light, Night Sight, and Astrophotography.</p><p><b>Camera Quality</b></p><p>Of course, raw processing power isn't the only thing that determines camera quality. The Google Pixel 7 Pro also has a quad rear camera setup that includes a 12MP main sensor, a 16MP ultrawide sensor, and two 8MP telephoto sensors. This allows you to zoom in up to 3x without losing any detail. And if you're looking to take things even further, the pixel-binned 108MP sensor produces some of the clearest images we've ever seen.</p><p><b>The Display is One of the Best</b></p><p>The 6.67-inch display is one of the best in the market, with a 120Hz refresh rate and HDR support. Google has also included an updated version of its Always-on Display feature that shows useful information like time, date, and battery life without sacrificing any screen real estate.</p><p><b>Better Battery Life</b></p><p>Finally, the Google Pixel 7 Pro has a better battery life than the iPhone 14 and the Galaxy S22 Ultra. With a 4500mAh battery, you can easily get through a full day of use without having to worry about finding a charger.</p><p>So, there you have it. The Google Pixel 7 Pro is the clear winner when pitted against the iPhone 14 and the Galaxy S22 Ultra. If you're looking for the best flagship smartphone on the market, this is the one you want.</p><p><br /></p><div aria-live="assertive" id="HTML5audiodescriptionwithscreenreaderannouncement" role="alert" style="height: 1px; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; top: -10px; width: 1px;" tabindex="-1"></div><div class="blogger-post-footer">Wireless News, Information, and Commentary at your fingertips.

If you hate your kids or younger siblings using your device, changing settings or configurations, you'll really be amazed at what power a manufacturer or wireless provider has to reach into your home and virtually change songs or even disable your device. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
It is a real threat. In fact, Samsung is threatening to do just that to anyone who owns a Galaxy Note 7. Five months ago, the device was voluntarily pulled from circulation. Now the company is preparing to virtually reach into each of the remaining devices and disable charging, effectively,permanently disabling the device. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
Scary? Yes. Am I surprised? No. Do you believe that a company should control a device that you've purchased or do they have an inherit right to disable your device without your permission? </div>

We all dream of the day when you can click on a video and have it play instantly. We don't have time for that buffering circle to cue up for seconds or minutes at a time. We get more accomplished when we can count on a quick connection. So, one of the first and most significant advantages of 5G technology deployment is low latency. Low latency is a measurement of how long it takes to access data. The lower the latency, the smaller the wait. So, your device spends less time trying to establish a connection and actually transmits much more quickly. Spending less time establishing a connection and actually getting the data into your device faster means that your battery is working less time to energize your radio for an extended period of time trying to gain access to data and then transmitting it for a long period of time. Just like your display, the shorter amount of time it is on, the less battery you use up. The the much higher bandwidth -that is, the amount of information a connection can handle- on a 5G network provides the ability to improve the speed of the transfer of information as you can carry much more information through a network with higher capacity. Think of it like a highway. A two-way two-lane highway is much less efficient than a two-way six-lane high way. You are able to let through much more traffic through the latter. So goes with a 5G network. Much more information can go through given capacity of the network.<br />
<br />
All of these things point to much longer battery life as your device will be spending less time connected to the tower transferring data.<br />
<br />
It appears that the first of the carriers to begin the deployment, albeit partial at first, will be T-Mobile. Neville Ray said during the Competitive Carriers Association earlier this month that their network will be up to one thousand times faster that the current 4G connections, citing industry experts. Their bold and aggressive UNcarrier moves will no doubt continue to add value to their customer base as all major wireless carriers battle for the top spot. The winners: smartphone batteries and of course, you -the mobile consumer.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Wireless News, Information, and Commentary at your fingertips.

The most recent of headlines really has some wondering if Samsung is in for a shocking plummeting of stock value, given recent claims that its devices are causing even vehicles (containing their devices) to go KABOOM! In fact according to sources, the FAA strongly advises ALL Samsung Galaxy Note 7 devices be stowed and turned off during flights; in stark contrast to progressively relaxed rules concerning electronic devices. This comes after nearly 4 dozen devices out of millions (to keep it in perspective) have randomly exploded. One claim as show in the picture below, proceeds to fault Samsung's Galaxy Note 7 for a car fire, according to ABC News. <div>
<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
For now, we must wait to see how this situation turns out for Samsung, but something tells me that Samsung is in a hot mess and will truly take a market hit. News comes at a very convenient time for Apple as they recently announced the launch of its new flagship device, the iPhone 7. One thing is clear. Lithium batteries need to be phased out as manufacturers phase in graphene and other materials of the future that will take our devices to new heights in terms of battery power. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Either way, a plane is indeed safer, if all devices containing Lithium batteries were to be turned off. So, are you in the market for the device that is all the talk of town as well as local fire departments as well as the FAA? or will you just sit tight until all of this cools down?

When looking at tech and tech trends as well as news, it helps to think outside the box. Sometimes things make sense, sometimes not. Thus, I propose a new idea that might explain why we will never see a Samsung Galaxy Note 6. Samsung's main competitor is not another Android manufacturer/OEM. They have left that competition far behind. Samsung's main competitor is Apple's iPhone. With the iPhone now coming out with the 7 and 7 Plus, it would appear that Samsung is behind if it launched the Samsung Galaxy Note 6. Instead, the brilliant minds at Samsung likely thought that it would make more strategic sense to launch the next iteration of the Galaxy Note series of devices with the "7" brand. Not to confuse buyers, but to not appear to be behind. What would you rather have, a 6 phone or a 7 phone?<br />
<br />
So, there you have it... my thoughts on why Samsung decided to name the next big thing the Samsung Galaxy Note 7.<br />

Am I the only one that believes that Apple's new 3D Touch technology is nothing but a recycled technological improvement? See, back when Samsung launched the Galaxy S4, I remember that one of their features in that powerhouse of a phone was AirView, which worked like this:<br />
<br />
You hover your finger above the screen and you could use that to preview a picture or an email, even move within a video to preview what was ahead. Add to that the additional functionality that the Note Series gave you of being able to preview a link using the same gesture with their proprietary S-Pen.<br />
<br />
I am just tired of seeing technologies swiped from companies only to be called great technological advancements by Apple. Don't get me wrong, I believe that Apple makes solid phones. If I had to chose between a flip phone, a BlackBerry or an Apple device, I would certainly choose the iPhone. However, I do believe that Apple needs to begin innovating and not swiping technologies and repackaging them as new ideas. I am not saying that Sammy, HTC, and the others don't do it to, but Apple is quite the leader in this field of recycling technologies and claiming to be the inventors. Don't believe me? Take the HTC Evo, THE FIRST phone to have a front facing camera with video chat capabilities. Not a month later, Apples leader proclaimed that their Apple iPhone 4 had the first front facing video chat capability phone in the world. Uhhh No! Not true. Sprint's Evo was the first to hold the title. I'm sorry Apple, but you were second; and are frequently second in every other innovative technology launched. What Apple DID start and did so quite well -gotta give credit where credit is due- is the iPad. That is still proving to be a very formidable device. I still believe, that the Note Pro 12.2 gives any iPad a run for its money. <br />
<br />
Ok, I've said my peace. Now it is your turn to chime in. Let us know what you think. Is Apple a true innovator or just better at marketing their "new" features?<br />

This little gadget's holographic "assistant" comes to life (in a wide choice of characters) aims to help you by connecting various things like the internet and other consumer electronics around your household. For instance, it can tell you the weather as well as having the ability to turn devices in your household on and off. This little gadget recognizes the user's behavior in a variety of sensors mounted on the body. This allows the avatar to greet you in the morning, when you wake up. (How it works when you get up to relieve your bladder, I'm not sure)<br />

I would be really interested in picking celebrities to wake me up, tell me the weather, and greet me when I walk in the door.<br />
<br />
Well, this technology will be up for crowdfunding in the fall of 2016. What features would you like this little avatar to have? Would you buy one? If so, what price point would you be willing to pay?<div class="blogger-post-footer">Wireless News, Information, and Commentary at your fingertips.

CEO John Legere, while attracting much critizism due to his foul language and agressive antics, can definitely be credited for changing the face of wireless. Thankfully, this has been for the better with every change he announces.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Each UNcarrier move that T-Mobile has launched has spurred a response from its major competitors. Most notable are the moves of the two giant wireless companies. Well, in a move to try to emulate T-Mobile aka Magenta, AT&T has launched a campaign to recover as many lost customers from T-Mobile as possible. Namely, offering "unlimited" data (with a 22GB soft cap whereby they slow user speed to 2G speeds).<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Catch</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The catch is that you must subscribe to DirectTV while being a wireless customer of AT&T. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Good News</div>
<div>
</div>
<div>
Current customers who are already subscribers of DirectTV and are AT&T wireless customers can make use of this promotion by simply going into their account and changing plans.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">T-Mobile is innovative. T-Mobile is great for consumers at its very core. T-Mobile is a market changer as it has forced the competition to give customers more than they have ever dreamed they would get from the two largest wireless companies in the USA: AT&T and Verizon. </span></div>

Where the witty, yet foul-mouthed, CEO struck a nerve in the social media circles is when he asked "who the F*** EFF was?", apparently upset at the probe or independent test EFF (Electrontic Frontier Foundation), an international non-profit digital rights group, based in the United States.<br />
<br />
Well, in an interesting turn of events, after an EFF partner removed their site from the BingOn program, a program that allows T-Mobile Customers with Simple Choice plans above 2gb per month of 4G LTE data, the market moving CEO released a letter to Consumers about BingeOn. <br />
<br />
In it, he clarifies the motive behind BingeOn, defends T-Mobile's "pro" Net Neutrality stance as well as apologized to EFF for offending them and their supporters.<br />
<br />
Here is a snippet of what Legere said in his letter:<br />
<br />
"...I will however apologize for offending EFF and its supporters. Just because we don't completely agree on all aspects of Binge On doesn't mean I don't see how they fight for consumers. We both agree that it is important to protect consumers' rights and to give customers value..."<br />
<br />
In my opinion, alot of grief could have been avoided by not automatically opting everyone, EVEN UNLIMITED CUSTOMERS, in to Binge On; a feature they would have to turn off. So, in the most vanilla sense, customers did not have a choice to TURN BINGE ON OFF. They were forced to have to turn it OFF themselves or suffer "optimized" (or as EFF says downgraded) video streaming. I think turning it on as a default hurt the credibility of the company that launched the service as a completely optional service.<br />
<br />
They did, however, at launch and thereafter, tell T-Mobile customers they were free to turn the service off. I just don't happen to agree with the roll out although I totally love the fact that BingeOn is an option for all T-Mobile consumers (with data bucket plans, not those with UNLIMITED plans).<br />
<br />
It is good to see that T-Mobile's Legere did the right thing and apologized publicly, while clarifying his company's offering and motives.<br />
<br />
More power to you, Magenta! Keep those UNcarrier customer pain-point-addressing moves coming, just make sure the consumers feel like they are in control and enroll the media outlets to help explain how the new move works and how to take control over your account.<div class="blogger-post-footer">Wireless News, Information, and Commentary at your fingertips.

<br />
As an UNlimited subscriber on T-Mobile's network, I do not require the BingeOn feature, but it was still activated on my account. I suppose, if you wanted to be completely transparent as T-Mobile, you would have announced that ALL customers from 3gig plans and above, but exclude the unlimited subscribers. This would ensure they would not suffer any changes to a service billed as unlimited.<br />
<br />
Long story short, I did not know that my account would be activated on BingeOn given my status as an unlimited customer. My wife and I signed up to the 2 lines for $100 unlimited talk, text, and data. We would not need to stretch our data. That is still something I do not understand.<br />
<br />
However, I had claimed that I had turned off BingeOn when, in fact, I logged on to mytmobile.com and turned off BingeOn on my wife's line only (by accident). It was not spelled out that you would have to turn off BingeOn from ALL devices on your account. Perhaps I just missed it, but I went on to complain that streaming videos over 480p was practically impossible.<br />
<br />
Well, as it turns out, I corrected that yesterday. A couple of minutes after turning BingeOn off, restarted my phone and was able to stream 1440p content with no problems.<br />
<br />
I, thus, apologize to my audience and to T-Mobile and their leadership, for unknowingly misleading you by describing my experience, when infact, my BingeOn was actually activated at the time that I was trying to view content at bit rates higher than 480p.<br />
<br />
I have no agenda. I am just a consumer who likes to share my experiences, thoughts, and views online on both my blog and YouTube channels. I did not mean to cast T-Mobile in a bad light. I was only expressing my frustration as a consumer. It taught me a lesson, however. To make sure that what I states are facts to the best of my ability. I appreciate and truly value all of my followers on social media and promise to continue to bring you the latest news and views that you can use.<br />

<br />
YouTube is reportedly claiming that T-Mobile is throttling their service, even for Unlimited customers, even though the video streaming service is not part of their BingeOn program. It appears that all streaming services are being affected by this situation.<br />
<br />
In fact, I was noticing that I, myself, cannot watch 2k videos, even when my speed could clearly support even 4K streaming at full speed. My speed, the other night, was 100Mbps... and still, I could not watch anything above 480p. That is definitely fishy.<br />
<br />
T-Mobile stated that customers have the option of turning off BingeOn which should fix the streaming quality, buffering issue. I can say, that, at least in my case, it did not work. YouTube may be right about their claim. Regardless, as an UNLIMITED customer, I feel cheated by what appears to be accross-the-board throttling (or "deprioritization"). Whetever the case, I love Magenta, but they have to fix this issue, sooner rather than later. Or else, I see a very expensive battle with Alphabet (YouTube's parent company). I am amazed that UNLIMITED customers have not come forward to claim that they are being sold an unlimited plan and now, even during your first byte of information, you may be throttled, if you are attempting to watch a YouTube video.<br />
