Bots have invaded Instagram comments
[ad_1] Based on dozens of Instagram pages we reviewed, including those from ESPN, House of Highlights, LeBron James, Travis Scott, Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and The Fat Jewish, these types of comments are becoming commonplace. Most of the accounts posting them have similar usernames, usually a name followed by a number (e.g. “cherylmason0” or “delpha_dibbert5”), […]
Samsung’s Galaxy S10 camera gets a dedicated ‘Night’ mode
[ad_1] While you now have control over the Night mode feature, it’s still lacking compared to the competition. As we noted in our review, it produces rather noisy, muddy images, which is too bad considering the excellent photos you can take with the Pixel 3 and Huawei P30 Pro.

But, at $699, it will still cost you almost $100 more than its nine-month-old predecessor, which seemed overpriced in the first place. We first saw […]

Google has been implementing more security measures around log-ins in recent months in an effort […]
LG struggles to deliver on its promise of faster Android updates
[ad_1] Okay, to be fair it’s done something. It did roll out Android Oreo to the LG G6, but only nine months after Google. It’s now been 255 days since Android Pie began rolling out to Pixel devices, and LG’s Software Upgrade Center has yet to update a single one of its devices, with the […]
Google pulls popular Chinese Android apps over large-scale ad fraud
[ad_1] Users don’t even need to fire up the app: the clicks happen even if the application isn’t running, which means it can drain battery and consume data. This fraudulent action happens with ads served with Google’s AdMob and Twitter’s MoPub, further showing how bad actors are exploiting Twitter’s ad platform. Back in March, BuzzFeed […]
