Typically, Sony launches multiple new phones at IFA including a Compact model for those looking for a smaller handset. However, this year it’s simply the XZ3 on its lonesome. When is the Xperia XZ3 release date? Sony has confirmed that the Xperia XZ3 will go on sale on 5 October. How much does the Xperia XZ3 cost? As we predicted, the Xperia XZ3 price is £699, matching the Xperia XZ2 which was £699 at launch....
In this article we are focusing on the key specifications of each Sony phone. For more in-depth information see our full Sony Xperia Z3 review and our hands-on Sony Xperia Z3+ review. Note that the Sony Xperia Z4 is sold only in Japan. It’s the same as the Z3+ mentioned here, but comes with DTV (Digital TV) and FeliCa (a contactless RFID smart card system) Sony Xperia Z3 vs Sony Xperia Z3+: Price and UK availability Sony was rumoured to be putting an end to its biannual smartphone refreshes and when no Z4 appeared at MWC 2015 that certainly appeared to be the case....
Botnets are the internet’s worst nightmare. They can be used to take down or disrupt some of the internet’s most sensitive infrastructures, such as DNS services. In 2016, one of the largest botnets, comprised of vulnerable IP cameras and home routers, was used to launch large denial of service attacks on DYN, a company responsible for providing DNS services to Fortune 500 companies. The attack took those companies’ services offline....

1. Attack of the Blue Screen of Death You’re working on an important project, and suddenly your screen displays nothing but white text against a blue background. If it happens once, you curse, reboot, and hope for the best. But if you’re getting these BSODs frequently, you’ve got a problem that needs fixing. Brewski13 had such a problem, and I provided advice for diagnosing, and hopefully fixing, the underlying cause....
You’ll need a business budget too, as the WT310 is one of the more expensive Windows 8 tablets that we’ve seen recently. Prices for this 11.6-inch tablet start around £740 for a model with a modest Celeron processor, but our review unit included Windows 8 Pro and an Ivy Bridge Core i5 running at 1.5 GHz, along with 4 GB memory and 128 GB flash storage for a rather hefty total price of £1078....
The latest release from fashion-focused tech company Urbanista, the Urbanista Seattle, offers an attractive design and wireless functionality for less than £100 – but are they worth the money? I’ve spent some time with the wireless Urbanista Seattle headphones, and here’s what I thought. Urbanista Seattle Price It may seem a little expensive on the surface but when you take into consideration that the headphones are wireless and feature touch-sensitive controls, you start to understand the reasoning....
What is a bot? In this context bots are computer assistants. They will appear in your favourite messaging app including Facebook Messenger and Skype. You can use them for booking flights, hotels, ordering takeaway and much, much more. The word bot can be used to mean several different things. Gamers understand bots as AI characters in a game, while botnets are groups of hijacked computers which cyber criminals use for various tasks such as sending out millions of spam emails or even to attack and attempt to take down websites....
We take a look at what you can expect from Samsung One UI. How is it different to the current Samsung interface? While the Samsung Galaxy range has been hugely popular, the user interface has been a constant bone of contention. Earlier models like the S4, S5 and S6 came with TouchWiz, which featured garish colours, way too many pre-installed apps, and generally could be a bit of a mess....
There is a reason for that, though. The Facebook rocket icon is for a feature still in testing, and only select users have been able to try it out. So what is it? Tap the rocket icon and you’ll see a news feed filled with posts from pages you haven’t liked, but with the sort of content Facebook thinks you’ll like based on your previous activity. These pages might be similar to pages you’re already following, or those that are popular with your friends....
Update 4 December: It has just come to light that Wetherspoons – the pub chain – was hacked back in June 2015. Its customer database was accessed and the details of over 650,000 customers may have been stolen. It includes names and email addresses. Only 100 customers had card details stolen, and it was only the last four digits of the long number. No passwords were contained in the database, but you should watch out for phishing emails and other scams....
WhatsApp confirmed the news back in May 2019 but Windows Phone officially lost support as of the new year. It means that if you still use a Windows Phone despite the lack of app support and are a keen WhatsApp user, you may will have found your phone now will not send and receive messages. But considering Microsoft itself no longer provides software support for its dead mobile platform, we can’t exactly blame WhatsApp for the decision....
Samsung Galaxy Note 7 This one gives us quite mixed feelings. At the time of its release in 2016, the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 was one of the best smartphones we had ever tried. Smooth lines, elegant styling, and just the right amount of weight to feel premium but comfortable to use. There was just one problem – they exploded. An issue surrounding the battery, venting, and power management meant that the devices would overheat and cause the battery to catch fire or simply blow up....
Important update: Y-Cam has just changed its policy on free cloud storage. Previously it offered seven-day rolling storage for free, which made it the most generous of any smart security camera. Now, it says it cannot afford to do this for longer than one year. After that the storage costs £2.99 per month per camera, or £4.99 per month if you opt for the Plus Premium service (this is a 50 percent discount off the usual price and the deal lasts for one year)....
If the ZTE Blade S6 looks a bit like an iPhone 6, the Plus looks a bit like, well, an iPhone 6 Plus. It’s a plastic smartphone, but its clean white front, circular home button, rounded corners and curved screen edges do look a bit Apple-esque. It’s stylish for the price, just £203 from GearBest‘s EU warehouse with free shipping. Its 5.5in screen is an HD IPS panel. Not only does it offer a larger screen area than the 5in ZTE Blade S6, but it supports a Family Mode that is in essence an easy mode, enlarging the type font and putting only the essentials on a tile-based home screen not too far removed from the appearance of Windows Phone....
ZTE Grand S3 hands-on review: Design & build The ZTE Grand S3 has a smooth plastic back with a metal frame, which helps make this smartphone look and feel great. It’s not pretending to be a high-end, premium smartphone, but there’s also nothing about it that screams budget or cheap. It’s not too thick or chunky at 9.8mm, and felt light and comfortable to hold during our testing. The rear camera does protrude from the rest of the smartphone slightly, but we quite like the symetrical design on the back as shown below....
De esta forma, aunque la mayoría de los usuarios ya se ha acostumbrado a tener que cargar el reloj a diario, ¿qué sucede si un día te olvidas de cargarlo? Tradicionalmente, eso habría significado quedarse sin batería, pero con watchOS 9 y el nuevo modo de bajo consumo, aparece un tiempo extra de uso. A continuación, te explicamos todo lo que debes saber sobre el nuevo modo de bajo consumo que llega al Apple Watch, desde los modelos que son compatibles (no todos lo admiten), hasta las funciones que deshabilitará y, por supuesto, cómo activarlo....
That reached a peak last week, with a certified Microsoft partner offering pre-orders on what it called ‘Windows 11’. US retailer SoftwareKeep even suggested Microsoft would officially launch Windows 11 on 1 July 2020, ahead of availability from 29 July. At US$174.99/approx £140, it would have cost slightly more than the £119.99/US$139 Windows 10 Home is currently selling for. You might think SoftwareKeep quickly realised the error of their ways and took the listing down, but in fact it persisted with the idea of ‘Windows 11’ for some time....
This includes the likes of OneDrive, Outlook and all productivity apps included in the Microsoft 365 subscription service. Collaboration software Teams will be the first to drop support, as soon as 30 November this year. Businesses will still be able to access sites that are specifically designed to use Internet Explorer, but these are expected to be phased out in the near future. ‘End of support’ means largely the same as it did for Windows 7 in January....
In fact, there are quite a few reasons why WhatsApp will temporarily or permanently ban your account, and it’s worth knowing about a few important rules that are in WhatsApp’s Terms of Service. Following them will ensure you don’t risk an account ban. You must never break these WhatsApp rules The following apply to both general matters and specific behaviors in private and group chats.
