When Microsoft purchased Nokia’s mobile division, they also took with them most of Nokia’s engineering talent. Although Steve Ballmer tried to reenergize the Lumia smartphone brand, Satya Nadella has killed Lumia slowly but surely. Under Nadella, Microsoft took a huge impairment charge for Nokia, laid off several Nokia engineers as part of job cuts and killed/axed almost all Lumia smartphones under development. The part of Nokia that was responsible for designing smartphones and smartphone related R&D is pretty much dead now....

What is the cause for full-screen pop-up ads? Adware like these are invasive and due to the nature of the app displaying them, seldom would a user be able to tell what’s causing this issue. The reason behind this is that you probably installed a new app and like most of us do, you probably agreed to grant all the permissions the app asked for in haste, one of them being the permission to draw over other apps....

Gionee has loaded this phone with some powerful interiors and gone the length to ensure it’s a good looking phone. And talking of length, that is probably the first thing that will manage to awe you – yes, it’s a tall phone with a 6” screen (packs a pixel density of 490ppi) that gets a bump into the 2K paradigm from the FHD screen that we saw on the E7....

Well, seen in pure hardware terms, the dual cameras do not seem to be a massive step forward from last year’s Honor 8. Like that device, the Honor 8 Pro comes with two 12.0-megapixel cameras on the back, one an RGB one and one a monochrome one. The aperture size is f/2.2 (which now seems a little on the smaller side, given that sub f/2.0 seems to be the rule) and phase detection auto focus and laser auto focus....

Open source alternatives do exist, but the problem? They’re highly disparate and fragmented which means unless you know how to tinker with Android’s core settings, it’s nearly impossible to escape the Google land. Attempts have been made in the past to build an Android fork which brings together all those secure services onto a single platform, but none of them have been consistent enough to go mainstream. European entrepreneur and open-source crusader, Gaël Duval thinks he can change that....

First and foremost, head over to the play store and make sure you have the updated beta version of Nova Launcher. If you are not a beta user yet, enroll here.

Now, head into Nova Launcher’s settings, and then, tap the “Sesame Shortcuts”....

Notion, for the uninitiated, is the same app that has single-handedly replaced a bunch of different productivity apps and integrated their functionalities into a single app. You can think of it as an all-in-one workplace for all your note-taking, task management, and project/data/knowledge management needs. One where you can take notes, set up to-dos, create a knowledge base (wikis, databases, etc.), and manage your projects, among other things. If you thought Notion’s scope of use ends here, you are in for a surprise....

When i saw the task manager, I noticed that there were quite a few instances of svchost.exe process and CPU usage was nearly 100% due to them. Svchost.exe is actually a system process belonging to the Microsoft Windows Operating System. It handles processes executed from DLLs. Off late, Microsoft started moving all of the functionality from internal Windows services into ....

It’s common knowledge that it is far easier to prevent something than treat it, but when it comes to computers, this hardly applies (or in other words, until you get infected, you don’t care). This is why, after a virus or malware infection, you will need to fix your computer, make sure that this won’t happen again and also, recover any lost data. How to recover your PC after it has been infected?...
