Huawei P30 Pro Camera Review – A Magical Camera Setting High Benchmark For 2019
Generally speaking, high-end phones excel in terms of design, performance, connectivity options, and overall experience, but camera systems still remain the primary differentiators and what primarily motivate buyers to shell out the high-end price. In their bid to bring in iterative refinements, we have seen manufacturers increase their reliance on multiple camera sensors in the […]

This week’s hearings on big tech are going nowhere fast
The United Kingdom is acting very quickly to regulate social media platforms in the wake of recent white-nationalist terror attacks. The United States, on the other hand, is acting as it normally does: holding a deeply unsatisfying Congressional hearing, and letting that stand as a substitute for action.
The subject of today’s hearing of the House Judiciary Committee was “Hate Crimes and the Rise of White Nationalism.” Witnesses included Google lawyer Alexandria Walden, Facebook policy director Neil Potts, and far-right activist Candace Owens, who repeatedly criticized Democrats for suggesting tech platforms contribute to the spread of hateful ideologies.

Prolific porn ransomware operator jailed for more than six years in UK
Zain Qaiser, a 24-year old student from London, has been jailed for six years and five months for his role in a porn ransomware attack, BBC News reports. Qaiser made at least £700,000 ($914,000) as a result of the scam, although the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) believes his actual earnings may have numbered in the millions.
Working as part of a Russian-speaking organized crime group, Qaiser would pose as a legitimate company seeking to buy advertising space on legal porn sites. These ads would redirect users to sites containing malware, which would lock a victim’s computer and display messages claiming to be from law enforcement. These messages claimed to have recorded webcam evidence of the victim, and demanded a ransom of between...

Twitter removes Trump’s video featuring music from The Dark Knight for copyright infringement
Twitter late Tuesday evening removed a video tweeted out by President Donald Trump’s official account because it contained music from Warner Bros. Pictures’ The Dark Knight Rises, the final film in Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. According to both The Hill BuzzFeed News, the producers of the short clip did not acquire the license to use the song, resulting in Warner Bros. filing a copyright claim. Twitter then removed the video hours later for violating its policies around copyrighted material.
The video, a bizarre bit of promotional material some speculate is designed to whip up hype for Trump’s 2020 reelection bid, features an altered quote, widely misattributed to Mahatma Ghandi, starting with, “First they ignore you. Then they...

Google confirms its Pixelbook group has new laptops and tablets inbound
Last month, Business Insider reported that Google might be shifting employees out of the laptop and tablet division that brought us the premium, pricey Pixelbook and Pixel Slate, citing “roadmap cutbacks.” But though Google originally declined to comment, the company now tells The Verge that its hardware division actually does have new laptops and tablets on the way.
While Google wouldn’t talk details or timing, it did drop a big hint earlier today — as 9to5Google reports, the company led a session at its Cloud Next 2019 conference dubbed “Introducing Google Hardware for Business,” where it suggested that a new device might help on-the-go employees in ways that the Pixelbook and Pixel Slate couldn’t quite accomplish.

AT&T boasts about 5G service in 19 cities, but there’s still no phone that can use it
The state of 5G continues to be a mess, as big US telecoms race to one-up one another by being the first to deploy hobbled versions of the next-gen networking technology across the country. AT&T now boasts 19 cities with 5G service as of today, but there’s once again a big caveat: there aren’t any smartphones that can use it yet. Furthermore, AT&T’s only available true 5G device, a mobile hotspot it provides, can’t yet be purchased in stores.
The only two 5G smartphones that will be made available to US customers so far this year are the Verizon-exclusive Samsung Galaxy S10, which doesn’t even have a firm release date, and the Verizon- and Sprint-exclusive LG V50. (Samsung’s Galaxy Fold is supposed to come in a 5G version as well, but...

Why didn’t Google realize that an anti-hate live stream would get overrun by hate speech?
Earlier today, Google counsel Alexandria Walden testified before Congress in a hearing titled “Hate Crimes and the Rise of White Nationalism.” The House Judiciary Committee streamed the video live on Google’s own YouTube platform, complete with a live chat feed. Anybody who’s even passingly familiar with YouTube might have flagged this as a bad decision. Hateful, racist comments are notoriously common on the site, and, unsurprisingly, some of YouTube’s worst users immediately descended on the chat with slurs and other attacks.
Commenters insulted Jewish committee chair Jerry Nadler, calling him a “goblin,” and some mocked Walden’s fellow witness, Mohammad Abu-Salha, whose two daughters were killed in an alleged hate crime. They espoused...

Perhaps you’ve seen the rousing debate around FromSoftware’s Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice percolating across the internet these past couple of weeks. Maybe you’ve even engaged in a few “git guds” yourself. But no chapter in the ongoing controversy over whether the video game requires an easy mode (or whether your relationship with it really says anything meaningful about you as a human being) has been quite as satisfying as the “you cheated not only the game, but yourself” meme.

Walmart is hiring more robots to replace human tasks like cleaning floors and scanning inventory
Walmart is hiring robots to replace human tasks that humans didn’t “enjoy doing.” In a bid to save on labor costs, it’s betting on robots to clean floors, sort inventory, and replenish out-of-stock items in its stores, as reported by The Wall Street Journal.
Walmart has several jobs in mind for the new robots. Robot floor cleaners are coming to 1,500 stores. (The company says that floor scrubbing was previously a task that could take a human worker two to three hours each day to complete.) Walmart is also adding 600 conveyor belts that can sort inventory automatically, and at least 300 bots that can check if shelves are running out of stock after Walmart initially began to test this technology in 2017.

Avengers: Endgame Directors Defend Captain Marvel’s Appearance In The Film
As excited as they were to see her in the second Avengers: Endgame trailer, some Marvel fans were left disgruntled that Carol Danvers’ look was very different to her appearance in Captain Marvel. From what we’ve seen, Brie Larson’s heroine sports straightened hair and fuller make-up in the movie, as opposed to her more natural look and wavy locks from March’s solo film.
Some were quick to accuse directors the Russo brothers of being guilty of sexualizing the character, but it seems this criticism isn’t fair. While speaking with /Film, Joe Russo put the record straight and revealed that Carol’s hair and make-up in Endgame was entirely up to Larson herself. If there’s a dissonance in her appearance from CM, that’s because the Avengers film was actually shot first, so Larson was still working out her character.
“She [filmed Avengers: Endgame] before she filmed Captain Marvel, and I think she was experimenting with what the character was. And those were the choices that she and her hair and makeup team had made. And I think as she started to gain a deeper understanding of the character, especially as she approached her own movie. She started to make different choices and as an artist she should be afforded that right to make whatever choice that she wants to make.”
This chimes with what the actress has said about how the experience of filming Endgame was important and special to her as she was able to find her way through Carol Danvers as a person while making the movie. Speaking at the pic’s press junket, the star admitted that she had to “stumble and figure out” things on the job.
“This film [Endgame] will always be personally dear to me because it was my first time playing Captain Marvel,” Larson said at the junket press conference. “We shot this first so I had to stumble and figure out who this character was with no script for this and no script for Captain Marvel, either, and perform for the first time in front of legends.”
Of course, not all fans have reacted negatively to Carol’s Endgame look, with some arguing that she can have her make-up like that and still be a powerful woman. We imagine this is what Larson was thinking when her and her team came up with the heroine’s appearance for the movie. Whatever the case, like Russo said, the actress has the right to make whatever cosmetic choices for her character that she wishes.
Plus, we all know Captain Marvel is going to be the key to defeating Thanos when Avengers: Endgame finally arrives in cinemas on April 26th, so let’s cut her a break, eh?
