Here are two new features coming to Google Photos:

1) Photo Stacks: Google Photos will now automatically identify and group similar photos that were taken close together into a Photo Stack and select the top pick that best captures that moment. You'll have the option to select your own top pick, modify stacks, or turn off Photo Stacks entirely.

2) Better screenshot and document organization: Google Photos will now better identify and automatically categorize screenshots and documents into more helpful albums like IDs, receipts, and event information. Also, Photos will automatically identify things like dates in screenshots so you can quickly add a reminder in your calendar.

WTF, Both are exactly same smartphones

Xiaomi is back with the Redmi Note 13R Pro, proving that when it comes to innovation, they've hit the copy-paste jackpot. Same specs as the Redmi Note 13 5G from September, but with a cheeky name change & different back panel

The Three R's for Xiaomi basically means β€” Recycle, Repackage, Repeat

Recycle specs for that eco-friendly touch. Repackage with a fresh coat of paint because who needs new features? And Repeat, their signature move – launching the same phone with a different name, , hoping no one catches the dΓ©jΓ  vu.

Also, the Pro in Xiaomi smartphone stands for 'Promoting Recycling'!

XIAOMI= The KING of GARBAGE in Smartphone Industry

Why Apple Watches are not compatible with Android smartphones
Source

Once upon a time, Apple put its engineers deeply engaged to make the Watch & Health app compatible with the billions of Android devices

This was codenamed Project Fennel and β€œwould have brought the company’s health features & its benefits that Apple underlines to many more people"

The work was "nearly complete" as well.

But in the end, Apple canceled Project Fennel because the Apple Watch is a driver of iPhone sales.
β€œIf you gave up the watch to Android, you would dilute the value of the watch to the iPhone,”

So, Apple reminded itself that it is Apple and business matters most to them than people's lives & health and ironically after losing Masimo's patent battle, Apple argued "Masimo has wrongly attempted to use the ITC to keep a potentially lifesaving product from millions of U.S. consumers"

Anyways, in 2024 Apple Watch could get a new sensor to help detect elevated blood pressure & sleep apnea detection.

#RCS
RCS is coming to iPhones later this year

In a statement to 9To5Mac, an Apple spokesperson has announced that later next year iPhones will receive RCS support with an OTA update.

Later next year, we will be adding support for RCS Universal Profile, the standard as currently published by the GSM Association. We believe RCS Universal Profile will offer a better interoperability experience when compared to SMS or MMS. This will work alongside iMessage, which will continue to be the best and most secure messaging experience for Apple users.

RCS (Rich Communication Standard) is a texting standard which brings many features present on iMessage to other devices, like read receipts, typing status, reactions or high quality media.

Apple's implementation of RCS will also give users the ability to share the location with other people.

This does not mean that iMessage is opening up to other platforms, as RCS and iMessage will work separately.

FunFact: Apple announced RCS coming to iPhones just a day before Carl Pei will roll out Nothing Chats that can iMessage from an Android phone.

Anyway, I think that Apple knew that, in the future, EU could force Apple to support RCS if it cannot force it to open iMessage since it is a proprietary tech

Also, this does NOT mean that Apple will change the green color in the USA to end blue bubble v/s green bubble nonsense. It could still continue as usual

It can also be that Apple announced the RCS support for iPhones this early as its coming in 2024 just to PISS OFF Carl Pei Lmfao

Carl Pei seems to have very bad announcement timing for his Nothing Chats πŸ˜‚

Qualcomm announces Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 processor

CPU: manufactured by TSMC on its 4nm process
β€’ 1x Cortex-A715 @ 2.63GHz
β€’ 3x performance cores @ 2.4 GHz
β€’ 4x efficiency cores @ 1.8GHz
GPU: Adeno 720

Modem: X63 5G
Display: 4K at 60Hz & FHD+ at 168Hz

Spectra ISP can handle 4K HDR video at 60Hz & 200MP main camera
AI Remosaic captures sharp, higher-resolution photos, eliminating discoloration & graininess

Compared to Snapdragon 7 Gen 1, it offers
β€’ 15% improvement in CPU performance
β€’ 50% faster Adreno GPU
β€’ 60% faster AI

If you notice clearly, Qualcomm did NOT compare it with Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2 because the 7 Gen 3 is "inferior" to it.
That's because:

β€’ Snapdragon 7s series focuses on energy efficiency
β€’ Standard Snapdragon 7 series focuses on experience
β€’ Snapdragon 7+ focuses on performance

Vivo V30 and Honor 100 to be the first devices to equip Snapdragon 7 Gen 3

MediaTek Dimensity 8300 will be MORE Powerful than Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 and its launching on 21st November

Stop pretending Nothing Chats had anything to do with RCS on the iPhone

Apple announced RCS support coming to iPhones just 2 days after Nothing announced an iMessage app through Sunbird which is a very sussy client

After the announcement, Nothing brand quickly came out to take the credits

Carl Pei tweeted a Steve Jobs quote implying that Nothing pushed Apple along.
Nothing's Co-Founder said "Haters gonna say it's not because of Nothing "

Honestly, Apple likely didn’t even think twice (or at all) about β€œNothing Chats.”
Big decisions aren't taken in just 2 days

Actually, the EU’s deadline for appeal for Apple to avoid β€œgatekeeper” status for iMessage in the DMA was 16th November, which is likely why Apple announced on that day

It is such a CREEP move by Nothing to take credits for something that Google has been doing for months by advertising on billboards/iPager & even complaining to EU

Nothing brand is just like the next Xiaomi after seeing their fake hype & cringe moves

Nothing Chats is a Privacy Nightmare

Nothing Chats features Apple's iMessage based on Sunbird's tech.
Apple ID is required to use iMessage which gets signed into a Mac Mini on a remote server

Nothing says, that Apple ID is then tokenized in an encrypted database & then Apple ID data is destroyed, ensuring Apple ID security
It’s also end-to-end encrypted & Sunbird is ISO 27001-certified too

In reality, encryption & privacy are just pure LIES by Nothing as its extremely insecure
Nothing Chats is NOT even using HTTPS & credentials are sent over plaintext HTTP

Nothing said: "While the protocol is HTTP, all data is encrypted & the encryption key is provided via HTTPS, so Apple credentials sent via HTTP are secure & not open to public."

However, they did NOT mention any reason for not using HTTPS protocol

Digging further revealed, Nothing Chats stores ALL incoming texts/media unencrypted on Firebase

Also, ALL outgoing texts are being "leaked" to a sentry server that too in plaintext

Sunbird can access every iMessage in Nothing Chats

After finding that Nothing Chats is NOT even using HTTPS & credentials are sent over plaintext HTTP, Nothing responded:

"While the protocol is HTTP, all data is encrypted & the encryption key is provided via HTTPS, so Apple credentials sent via HTTP are secure & not open to the public."

But, when a message is sent using Nothing Chats, it is sent to Sunbird’s Sentry (a debugging platform) with links visible in plain text.
Further, β€œall” data is sent & stored through Firebase and is completely unencrypted too

This means employees at Sunbird can view them from their Sentry dashboard.
So Sunbird is abusing Sentry by logging real messages, pretending they are errors.

Also, you can even list ALL the media ever sent on Sunbird.
After counting, there are more than 637,780 media stored by Sunbird including videos, photos, audio & vCards etc

Another issue is with the file names as ALL files are stored with the original names

Open-source app that can show every message sent using Nothing Chats

Since Sunbird stores messages & attachments in Firebase without any encryption, someone asked "ChatGPT" to do a web page where you can log in with your Nothing Chats credentials & get clear text messages they store in Google's Firebase printed.

To demonstrate this, a guy sent a message from his real iPhone using iMessage to an account linked with β€˜Nothing Chats’.
The app showed all the messages even the ones sent from iPhone

Surprisingly, the repository contains NO decryption methods as well & Nothing claims that all messages are end-to-end encrypted

Although, Nothing just designed the app & the backend is all Sunbird, it was Carl Pei's responsibility to first verify the app
He just hyped about the iMessage possibility using Nothing Phone 2 & everything about privacy & encryption was a LIE

This is probably the biggest "privacy nightmare" seen by a phone manufacturer

RIP Nothing Chats

Many people found out about FAKE Privacy and end-to-end encryption Carl Pei was offering through his Nothing Chats to offer iMessage capability after asking user's Apple ID

Now, Nothing has removed the app from PlayStore & surprisingly, the app was even in BETA state LOL

Nothing is still continuing to work with Sunbird to fix the "bugs" & the launch has been delayed indefinitely

So, Acc. to Nothing: Fake end to end encryption, public data exposure, lack of HTTPS protocol are classified as β€œbugs".

Nothing Chats WILL BE remembered for the biggest "privacy nightmare" by any OEM
Remember the date: 17/11/23 ~ 18/11/23

Plot Twist: Sam Altman might return back as OpenAI CEO again

OpenAI’s biggest investors are pressing the company to reinstate Sam Altman as CEO after the board’s stunning decision to fire him up

Bloomberg reports that Microsoft, who is OpenAI biggest investor is working with other investors to bring back Sam Altman

Plus, the investors are also pressing for the replacement of the current board LOL
If the board steps down, investors are reviewing a list of possible new directors.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has been in touch with Altman and pledged to support him in whatever steps he takes next.

Verge reports that the board has agreed in principle to resign and to allow Altman and Brockman to return, but has since waffled β€” missing a key 5PM PT deadline by which many OpenAI staffers were set to resign.

If Altman decides to leave and start a new company, those staffers would assuredly go with him."
