Learn how to turn off your Google Assistant

Google Assistant is one of the most feature-rich virtual assistants in the world. This assistant is always ready on every Android phone, tablet and Google Home series device to help the user in their daily work. However, not everyone wants to use Google Assistant, so there is no need to spend on mobile charges just behind the device’s RAM and processor. In that case, Google Assistant can be turned off if you want.

To turn off Assistant, first go to the Google app on the phone. Then you have to click on the three bar button in the upper right corner in the More option. Then go to settings. From there you have to select Google Assistant. Then scroll down, touch the General option. Then you have to remove the tick mark of Google Assistant option from there. Google will present some warning messages to the users, there is no problem in avoiding them. Bus, Google Assistant on the phone and the microphone on the phone for the word ‘OK Google’ all the time will be off.

However, if Google Assistant is not completely shut down, just clicking ‘OK Google’ detection or the home button can stop the appearance of Google. Google Assistant can be turned on for no reason, such as detecting another word as ‘OK Google’ or putting an unwanted pressure on the home button, which can be embarrassing. In that case you have to go to the phone’s settings menu. From there go to apps or application options and go to default applications option. After removing the Google Assistant from the Device Assistant option and selecting the ‘Gharhub’ option, Google Assistant will no longer appear after hearing a call or pressing a button.

The benefits of turning off the assistant can be found in older devices more than in newer devices. For devices running Snapdragon 400 or 800 series processors or the phone is more than three years old, the devices may consume extra battery due to the assistant. Google Assistant has a hand in reducing battery life, especially on standby. So it is better to turn off

ROG Phone 5 for DxOMark Audio

The Asus ROG Phone 5 will be the first great gaming smartphone of 2021 and, waiting for its official presentation — which will take place on March 10 — DxOMark has already put it to the test, revealing its incredible potential on the audio front.

Going into the details, the tests showed that the Asus ROG Phone 5 is the new best smartphone in terms of audio performance, dethroning the Xiaomi Mi 10 Pro which had scored a score of 76.

With a set of four microphones, the headphone jack, and two symmetrical front speakers, the ROG Phone 5 scored a whopping 79 points overall, 79 in recording, and 78 in playback.

The Asus ROG Phone 5, in essence, should be an optimal device for most use cases, from games to music, from watching movies to a recording.

While waiting for its officialization, which should take place in about two weeks, we remind you that the rumors that have emerged so far have told us a lot about this Asus game phone. Let’s start by saying that the ROG Phone 5 should certainly hide the Qualcomm 5 nanometer chipset, the Snapdragon 888, associated with 8.12 and 16 GB of RAM under the hood.

The panel should be a 6.78-inch AMOLED with a 144 Hz refresh rate (a feature that gamers will love), while on the photo front on the back we should find three sensors, with the main one from 64 MP; for energy autonomy, on the other hand, a battery of almost 6000 mAh should think about it (5950 mAh) with support for 65W wired fast charge.

All data on Google Play Music will be deleted on February 24

Popular app Google Play Music has been shut down. It has been heard that all the data of Google Play Music will be deleted on February 24. However, customers can transfer data to YouTube Music before they want. There are also download and delete options. Google Play Music was discontinued in December 2020.

Google has already informed customers via e-mail that all their data will be deleted from Google Play Music on February 24. So those who want, they should download or transfer the data. Basically, all the data in the library, upload, purchase information in Google Play Music will be deleted. After February 24, there will be no way to recover all this data.

How to transfer data to YouTube?

Users can go to music.google.com or Android or iOS version of the app to show the Transfer to YouTube option. Clicking here will open YouTube Music. Then there will be data transfer. All the information in the playlist, songs, albums, other purchased songs and downloaded or uploaded songs can be transferred.

There will also be Manage your music option. This will allow customers to download the music library. In addition, customers will have the option to delete the history of their choice. Users can also delete the entire Google Play music library. If a customer wants to download a music library, they need to take the help of Google Takeout. This allows you to keep a copy of all the data in Google Play Music.

The process of shutting down Google Play Music began in October last year. The app was officially shut down in December.

EU Looks To Drones And Space Communication To Get Ahead In Tech Race Digital Times Africa Feb 22·2 min read

Brussels — The European Commission on Monday announced three flagship projects — in drone technologies, space communication, and space traffic management — aimed at giving the 27-country bloc a competitive edge in these new fields.

Called the Action Plan on Synergies between the civil, defense and space industries, the scheme’s objective is to harness research and innovation in the three sectors for the projects and other ventures.

The EU executive said the drone project would reinforce the competitiveness of the EU industry in this key area with a strong defense dimension, while space communication would provide for resilient and high-speed connectivity in Europe based on quantum encryption.

It said space traffic management was required to avoid collisions resulting from the proliferation of satellites and space debris while ensuring autonomous EU access to space.

“The idea is for innovations to systematically reach multiple uses by design. And to allow tapping into the huge innovation potential of researchers and start-ups,” European digital chief Margrethe Vestager said in a statement.

EU industry commissioner Thierry Breton said the projects would help the bloc stand on its own feet instead of relying on other countries.

“It will also reduce our dependencies in critical technologies and boost the industrial leadership we need to recover from the (coronavirus pandemic) crisis,” he said

South Africa: E-hailing Platform Introduces Female Driver Option
By: Digital Times Africa
Tags: Startup, Women In Business, Technology News, Technology

Local, a South African e-hailing and grocery delivery startup have recently expanded their services by providing customers with the option of choosing female drivers.

The new option, called HER, is included within the main Local app and is a ride option exclusively for women.

HER will give women the opportunity to opt for female drivers for their trips. Aside from that, it will also cater for children and members of the LGBTQ community.

Launched in 2019 by William Moshabi, Local was initially focused on providing grocery and delivery services before expanding its operations to include “HER”, as the latest addition to its list of services.

Since its launch, the platform has also extended to Johannesburg and Cape Town with 7000 drivers.

“HER” is a female-only ride option that allows women and children to travel with peace of mind knowing that the driver is female and vetted to ensure they arrive at their destination safely and comfortably,” the company said in a press release.

Additionally, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), William Moshabi, also stated that his team has been employing a lot of female drivers to meet the increasing demand.

As a result of that, Local plans to add an additional 12,000 drivers to meet the growing demand for their service by the end of the year.

However, the option is restricted to a maximum of two passengers per ride or more at the discretion of the driver.

The app can be downloaded on the Google Play Store for Android and App Store for iOS users.

Angelina Ampofo Asomaning, a Ghanaian self-taught traditional painter has revealed that she would be donating the proceeds of her upcoming exhibition to underprivileged women and children.

She made this revelation in an exclusive interview with the Digital Times in the confines of her home cum studio located in the Greater Accra region.

Miss Ampofo Asomaning stated that she is currently working on producing a sufficient number of paintings that would be used to organize the exhibition in November 2020.

“Because I draw most of my inspiration from women and children, I have planned to have a lot of paintings, then whenever I have an exhibition a percentage of the proceeds go to women in children in deprived areas”, she explained.

She also added that she has always wanted to exhibit her work even when she had produced just a single painting. Alternatively, exhibiting her work will enable her to achieve her goal of assisting women and children.

Speaking on her occupation as a female artist in a male-dominated industry, she stated that she always feels encouraged to do more in spite of the challenges associated with being a female artist in Ghana.

Angelina Ampofo Asomaning is a trained accountant turned traditional painter. She started off by making pencil portraits while in school, before transitioning to learning and practising traditional painting with acrylic and oil paints in just six months.

Apart from women and children serving as her inspiration, most of her paintings are imaginative, while others revolve around real life events and situations happening in the Ghanaian society.
Nigeria: ImaliPay Launches Financial Products For Gig Economy Workers
By: Digital Times Africa
Tags: Nigeria, Technology News, Technology, Fintech, Africa

Nigerian startup ImaliPay has launched its platform, which leverages artificial intelligence (AI) and big data to offer tailored financial products that promote the inclusion of gig economy platforms and workers across Africa.

Co-founded early this year by Tatenda Furusa and Sanmi Akinmusire, ImaliPay offers both new and existing gig workers or freelancers the ability to seamlessly save their income and receive in-kind loans through a buy now, pay later model tied to their trade.

As gig workers save money or repay loans on time, they are able to build a credit history that will in turn unlock more formal financial services in the future.

“Gig workers or freelancers are daily or weekly earners. Due to this volatility, and fragmented earnings or income, they often lack a safety net and lack tailored access to financial services. This means they are underserved or neglected by existing financial institutions. For new gig workers entering the new economy, they struggle to have a “leg up” to get into gig work,” Furusa told Disrupt Africa.

ImaliPay helps with this, and launched in partnership with e-hailing startup SafeBoda in Nigeria this year. Since then, Furusa said it has seen 30 per cent month-on-month customer growth, with 96 per cent of its registered riders saving, borrowing, or both.

“This includes saving daily and weekly, and accessing product financing for phones, bike parts and fuel from our platform, which significantly improves productivity and earns more income over time,” he said.

Expansion is an immediate goal. ImaliPay will soon launch in Kenya in partnership with services platform Lynk, and by the end of the year will also be active in South Africa, working with another large freelancer platform. It also plans to launch in Uganda and Ghana in the first quarter of 2021.

ImaliPay, which makes money through service charges, low interest rates and withdrawal fees, was briefly concerned by the effect of COVID-19 on certain parts of the gig economy.

“However, ride-hailing and on-demand mobility have proved to be essential services for delivery of crucial consumer goods and commodities to households across Africa. Furthermore, the future of work post-COVID will involve significant remote work including outsourced jobs to online white collar freelancers,” said Furusa.

We are living in present day times. What’s more, during circumstances such as the present, if one somehow happened to look for one aspect of our life, where innovation has not set its impressions, it would resemble finding a needle in a pile of straw.

However, for some bizarre reasons, specialists and the medical services industry have been somewhat hesitant in tolerating this reality and embracing innovation. For those, who accepted that innovation doesn’t assume any job in running a nursing home, a gander at the accompanying information will doubtlessly help them.

60% of healthcare needs begin with an online search, 76% of patients use hospital websites for research, 77% of patients use search prior to booking an appointment, and 44% of patients who search hospitals on a mobile device go on to schedule an appointment.

How Technology Changing the Doctor’s Life

Today, innovation has gone past designing numerous gadgets that help specialists in diagnosing any sickness and proposing an appropriate therapy. Clinical programming help specialists in utilizing their time successfully in doing the center movement what they ought to do — treat the patients. And any remaining non-center exercises can be dealt with by innovation. The solution to their issues shows restraint the board programming, or center administration programming. Read More

Nvidia Announces New Chips Designed For Mining Ethereum As The Cryptocurrency Hits Record Highs

Nvidia Announces New Chips Designed For Mining Ethereum As The Cryptocurrency Hits Record Highs Digital Times Africa Feb 23·2 min read

Nvidia on Thursday announced it will release a new series of semiconductors specifically for mining ether, the second-largest digital cryptocurrency.

The new chip type is called CMP, or Cryptocurrency Mining Processor. The first cards will go on sale in March, an Nvidia spokesperson said.

Ether mining is a process in which computers solve complicated math programs to help the Ethereum cryptocurrency network run. In exchange, miners get ether, the digital coin that runs on the Ethereum network. Ether hit a record high on Thursday, up over 160% year-to-date to over $1,914.

Ether’s mining algorithms run best on graphics cards, which is the kind of chip that Nvidia is known for. Miners often buy several graphics cards and put them in a single machine to maximize their return.

Last fall, Nvidia released a new series of graphics cards marketed at PC gamers that have been consistently selling out. The semiconductor industry is also facing a shortage across the board.

Thursday’s announcement suggests that at least some of the demand for Nvidia’s chips came from cryptocurrency miners, not just gamers.

″CMP products — which don’t do graphics — are sold through authorized partners and optimized for the best mining performance and efficiency,” Matt Wuebbling, head of GeForce marketing at Nvidia wrote in a blog post.

Nvidia said that the latest chip in its gaming graphics cards series, the RTX 3060, would be modified when it’s released later this year so it won’t mine ether effectively. Cards that have already been sold, like the RTX 3070 or RTX 3080, do not have the same limitations, the Nvidia representative said.

“RTX 3060 software drivers are designed to detect specific attributes of the Ethereum cryptocurrency mining algorithm, and limit the hash rate, or cryptocurrency mining efficiency, by around 50 percent,” Nvidia’s said in a blog post.

Graphics cards were first developed to enable high-definition computer games but they’re increasingly essential for new technologies like artificial intelligence. Their usefulness in mining ether isn’t new, either — in 2017, Nvidia said it made hundreds of millions of dollars per quarter selling chips to cryptocurrency miners.

“Cryptocurrency and blockchain are here to stay. The market need for it is going to grow, and over time it will become quite large,” Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said in 2017.

PC gaming is also growing strongly. Consumer spending on PC gaming hardware was up 62% in 2020, according to an NPD Group estimate. A graphics card is often the most expensive part of a gaming PC.

Leading the charge will be the new Head of Operations, Joe Stanley, who will continue to search for engineers, designers, and business leaders to add to the team.

Stanley is joining Craftsman+ after four years of delivering global IT projects for the NATO Communications Information Agency in Belgium. Prior to this, he worked with blue chip automatic manufacturers to roll out digital solutions and proprietary software worldwide from the UK to Australia.

“I’m excited to work alongside Alex and be a part of such a successful, fast paced start-up,” says Stanley. “We’re eager to see the expansion into the EMEA region and beyond with the long term aim of supporting our customers on a global level.”

The expansion comes on the heels of the latest Craftsman+ innovative development with the release of their self-serve Interactive Ad Builder earlier this year. But the positive news for Craftsman+ doesn’t stop there; Merutka says the UK expansion is just the beginning of a series of long-term initiatives to cover even more timezones in 2021, including plans to build additional teams in the Asia-Pacific region.

Three Worst Technologies Ever
By: Elysia Terrance
Tags: Technology Trends, Technology, Technology News

There are hundreds of technologies releasing every single day to make our life easier, however, not everything can be good and the same goes with technologies. While all the genius people spend their days and nights developing useful technologies, sometimes these technologies become a curse on mankind. Today, we are going to talk about some of the worst technologies in the world.

Hacking Software

While invading into a criminal’s online platforms can help authorities to make a wise decision, this tech advancement can ruin a life of an ordinary person. With hacking software, people lose their all hard-earned money from their bank accounts. Moreover, all the private data such as pictures get leaks anywhere in the world.

E-cigarettes

Smoking is injurious to health and we all know that but technologies such as vapes attract youth and they get addicted to this killer in no time. The selling of e-cigarettes is banned in various states but such items still trade illegally and increasing the dangers of our kids.

Robots

The future might be easier for the people who can afford robots and machines but the hard workers who solely depend on laboring will not be able to survive. In the future, robots are going to take over the human workforce and that will be alarming for poor habitats.
Angular Or React ?

Angular Or React ?

Imagine that you have the responsibility to start a front-end project in a new company for your team or your personal project so your first idea is searching in google about what technology you should use for the front end? Probably you get a thousand and hundred results with the top 3 technologies: React, Angular and vue.js for this reason today I will talk about React vs Angular, Vue.js will have a special post on this website later.

React

A JavaScript library for building user interfaces.

Managed by Facebook Launched on May 2013

Used in web and mobile.

Angular

Angular is a platform and framework for building single-page client applications.

Managed by Google

Launched on Sep 2015

Launched on Sep 2015 Used in web and mobile.

binding

Advantages And Disadvantages

React

Easy to learn, thanks to its simple design if you know JS it’s fast and simple to use this library.

Very Fast, because it uses Virtual DOM implementation and rendering optimization

Great support for server-side rendering, making it a powerful framework for content-focused applications.

Functional Programming has easy and reusable code.

Migration is very easy.

Redux is easy to learn and helps to manage the application state in React.

Maybe problems with react are related to having a lot of tools, libraries, and ways to do the same things. I think React leaves developers to make choices about the best way to develop and if you don’t have the experience you can make bad decisions.

The community is divided into using CSS inside components or in separate modules or files. React now uses components but in his beginnings used OOP so you can see a lot of examples in different ways. JSX is confusing sometimes because you mix logic with HTML.

Angular

Typescript helps a lot when you don’t know JS and you need to start to get into the Javascript world.

Angular is based on components and that helps a lot to organize views, modules, and files.

Documentation helps get the all necessary information to start and work on a project.

Scalability and great architecture to create big projects.

Dependency injection helps a lot to separate concerns and create unit tests

You have rules, best practices, and the right way to create angular apps.

Problems in angular are when you start, you need some time to learn some basic concepts and the curve of learning takes more time. Performance, probably the performance is slower than react, but each release tries to improve it.

performance

Which Should I Choose?

The answer is: It depends because sometimes React fit very good in your company but in others just generate a messy code, in my experience to make this decision you need to evaluate some factors like size team, skills team, budget, size of your project, etc, please don’t make decisions just following trends, it’s a big fail, probably you need to have a checklist always with some questions:

The outbreak of the COVID-19 has been so strong that it has halted all operations across verticals

Several industries are struggling to cope up with the rising challenges of personnel lives. As a result, countries have either shut down several operations for now or are running industries at 25% capacity. The majority of the countries across the globe have provided work from home facilities for employees amid the COVID-19 outbreak.

According to a survey released by the International Trade Union Congress, 65% of countries are promoting the model of working from home. Complying with the same, almost all organizations have stopped all business-related travel, and approximately 80% of organizations have provided work from home to their employees across the globe. To manage employees working from home, companies are relying extensively on remote-based monitoring of the workforce, which is enhancing the demand for IoT solutions. This helps bring transparency, provide real-time tracking, improve safety, and ensure meeting government compliance.

Below are the impacts of CoVId-19 on IoT technology:-

Ongoing projects are paused IoT networks largely unaffected Technology roadmaps getting delayed Cyberattacks increase and hackers are changing their strategies Privacy gets re-evaluated Additional focus on security Fewer opportunities in the IoT industry due to Coronavirus outbreak Vendors are providing free products/ services to their customers

Cool！Google and Amazon are listening to your voice recordings.
By: Mai, S Life
Tags: Technology Trends, Amazon, Voices, Technology News, Google

Ever since Alexa and Google Assistant first burst onto the scene and started populating people’s homes with smart speakers and other gadgets outfitted with always-listening microphones, people have wondered whether anyone other than their AI assistant of choice was listening in.

What about Google and Amazon say？

“We only annotate an extremely small sample of Alexa voice recordings in order improve the customer experience,” an Amazon spokesperson told CNET in April. “ The spokesperson added that employees can’t directly access identifying information about the people or accounts associated with the recordings.

“As part of our work to develop speech technology for more languages, we partner with language experts around the world who understand the nuances and accents of a specific language,” David Monsees, product manager for Google Search, said in a blog post Thursday. “

Photo by Paweł Czerwiński on Unsplash

Google adds that the audio samples these contractors listen to amount to about 0.2% of all recordings, and that user account details aren’t associated with any of them. Google’s blog post specifically addresses audio that reviewers are listening to for the purpose of helping Google Assistant master a variety of languages, dialects and accents.

Then, what about third parties? Is my voice data being shared?

One instance occurs on a page for Google Nest services outlining the company’s commitment to privacy — a separate page from the Google or Google Assistant privacy policies.

Photo by NeONBRAND on Unsplash

Google explains that the guide is there “to explain as clearly and simply as we can both how our connected home devices and services work, and also how we’ll uphold our commitment to respect your privacy.”

The problem is that Google’s privacy policy doesn’t really help with device-specific questions like that. In fact, Google’s privacy policy only includes the word “voice” once, as an item in the list of “activity information” Google collects. Meanwhile, the policy doesn’t include the words “microphone,” “recordings” or “assistant” at all.

The Dangers of Smart Baby Monitors and How to Avoid Being Hacked

You may have heard about the possibility of being hacked on your baby monitors. It’s scary! People have been speaking out about being hacked by various individuals, sometimes with malicious intent, but other times to help raise awareness for their hackable device. These devices that continue to be hacked are typically video cam baby monitors. These devices, which every parent buys to help relieve some stress and help out around the house, have been bringing more stress and fear into the homes of some families.

How do you avoid these hacks?

YouTuber Dad Verb has a great video on all the little things you can do to reduce your risk of getting hacked, linked HERE. In summary, you need to make sure you change the username and password provided by the monitor; you should make sure to change your password to something random with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols; using two-factor verification is an incredibly helpful way to increase your security; if you can get a monitor that doesn’t connect to the internet that is still effective for you, that would be the safest option.

Is buying a video cam baby monitor really worth it?

It may just be unnecessary to buy a baby video monitor in most situations. If you’re looking for a product to help avoid SIDS, other baby monitors that do not have a video component are useful, like Owlet and Connect Wolf. These monitors provide the heart rate of your infant, among other things, that can help you keep track of the well-being of your child.

If your child has any medical conditions or sleeps relatively far from your room, then having a baby video monitor may make more sense.

In synopsis, when thinking about buying a video baby monitor, you should research your other options and consult your pediatrician. Think about what specifically you want to get out of this piece of baby tech; if there are any alternatives, perhaps go with those, if not, make sure to secure your piece of equipment before using!
