How to Use an Android device as Second Monitor for your PC or MAC

How to Use an Android device as Second Monitor for your PC or MAC!!

💠 The method is quite simple and easy and you just need to follow a simple step by step guide discussed below to proceed.

🌀 Steps to Use an Android device as Second Monitor for your PC or MAC:

1⃣ First of all, install the App named iDisplay on your Tablet or computer, and also get the iDisplay driver on the computer. Double click on thedownloaded driver file and then agree with the prompted screen which you could see on your computer device. For agreeing just click on the Yes option on the prompt message and you shall be allowed for the installation process of the driver.

2⃣ After that, the driver shall be installed automatically by covering up the process and you won’t need to do anything besides clicking through.

3⃣ Restart your computer system and then after that check the system tray for the driver is installed or not. Most probably the driver would get installed but for some users, there could be causing the issue that protects it from doing so. You could now launch the idisplay on your Windows computer just through searching for the app or by just clicking on its icon on the desktop if you have placed it there.

4⃣ Launch the iDisplay on the tablet or Android device, from the beginning of the app it would not require any type of settings and will just start searching for the computer signal straightforward. The iDisplay uses up the hybrid connection so it could be either connected to the USB or just by the Wifi connection. Once your computer is found by the Android app just go ahead and connect it to the options. A warning message will pop up on the screen of the computer, just hit that away by clicking on Always Allow, hit the another warning too and you shall be ready for the process.

5⃣ Now once the procedure is complete, you would find that your connected Android device will show up the same screen which your computer monitor is showing up.

6⃣ You could now set up the settings for the display resolution, color etc directly through the display settings of the Windows and know that the Android screen will behave like if it is the monitor of the computer, no way could differentiate from the other screen.

✅ Disconnecting is also just easy, do that from the iDisplay icon in the action center of the app!

Ten Things That Will Disappear In Our Lifetime

Ten Things That Will Disappear In Our Lifetime    

 

1. The Post Office

 

Get ready to imagine a world without the post office. They are so deeply in financial trouble that there is probably no way to sustain it long term. Email, Fed Ex, and UPS have just about wiped out the minimum revenue needed to keep the post office alive. Most of your mail every day is junk mail and bills.

 

 

2. The Check

 

Britain is already laying the groundwork to do away with check by 2018.  It costs the financial system billions of dollars a year to process checks.  Plastic cards and online transactions will lead to the eventual demise of the check.  This plays right into the death of the post office.  If you never paid your bills by mail and never received them by mail, the post office would absolutely go out of business.

 

 

3. The Newspaper

 

The younger generation simply doesn't read the newspaper.  They certainly don't subscribe to a daily delivered print edition.  That may go the way of the milkman and the laundry man.  As for reading the paper online, get ready to pay for it.  The rise in mobile Internet devices and e-readers has caused all the newspaper and magazine publishers to form an alliance.  They have met with Apple, Amazon, and the major cell     phone companies to develop a model for paid subscription services.

 

 

4. The Book

 

You say you will never give up the physical book that you hold in your hand and turn the literal pages  I said the same thing about downloading music from iTunes.  I wanted my hard copy CD.  But I quickly changed my mind when I discovered that I could get albums for half the price without ever leaving home to get the latest music.  The same thing will happen with books.  You can browse a bookstore online and even read a preview chapter before you buy.  And the price is less than half that of a real book.  And think of the convenience!  Once you start flicking your fingers on the screen instead of the book, you find that you are lost in the story, can't wait to see what happens next, and you forget that you're holding a gadget instead of a book.

 

 

5. The Land Line Telephone

 

Unless you have a large family and make a lot of local calls, you don't need it anymore.  Most people keep it simply because they've always had it.  But you are paying double charges for that extra service.  All the cell phone companies will let you call customers using the same cell provider for no charge against your minutes.

 

 

6. Music

 

This is one of the saddest parts of the change story.  The music industry is dying a slow death.  Not just because of illegal downloading.  It's the lack of innovative new music being given a chance to get to the people who would like to hear it.  Greed and corruption is the problem.  The record labels and the radio conglomerates are simply self-destructing  Over 40% of the music purchased today is "catalogue items," meaning traditional music that the public is familiar with.  Older established artists.  This is also true on the live concert circuit.  To explore this fascinating and disturbing topic further, check out the book, "Appetite for Self-Destruction" by Steve Knopper, and the video documentary, "Before the Music Dies."

 

 

7. Television Revenues

 

To the networks are down dramatically.  Not just because of the economy.  People are     watching TV and movies streamed from their computers.  And they're playing games and doing lots of other things that take up the time that used to be spent watching TV.  Prime time shows have degenerated down to lower than the lowest common denominator.  Cable rates are skyrocketing and commercials run about every 4 minutes and 30 seconds.  I say good riddance to most of it.  It's time for the cable companies to be put out of our misery.  Let the people choose what they want to watch      online and through Netflix.

 

 

8. The "Things" That You Own

 

Many of the very possessions that we used to own are still in our lives, but we may not actually own them in the future.  They may simply reside in "the cloud."  Today your computer has a hard drive and you store your pictures, music, movies, and documents.  Your software is on a CD or DVD, and you can always re-install it if need be.  But all of that is changing.  Apple, Microsoft, and Google are all finishing up their latest "cloud services."  That means that when you turn on a computer, the Internet will be built into the operating system.  So, Windows, Google, and the Mac OS will be tied straight into the Internet.  If you click an icon, it will open something in the Internet cloud.  If you save something, it will be saved to the cloud.  And you may pay a monthly subscription fee to the cloud provider.  In this virtual world, you can access your music or your books, or your whatever from any laptop or handheld device.  That's the good news.  But, will you actually own any of this "stuff" or will it all be able to disappear at any moment in a big "Poof?"  Will most of the things in our lives be disposable and whimsical?  It makes you want to run to the closet and pull out that     photo album, grab a book from the shelf, or open up a CD case and pull out the insert.

 

 

9. Joined Handwriting (Cursive Writing)

 

Already gone in some schools who no longer teach "joined handwriting" because nearly everything is done now on computers or keyboards of some type (pun not intended)

 

 

10. Privacy

 

If there ever was a concept that we can look back on nostalgically, it would be privacy.  That's gone.  It's been gone for a long time anyway..  There are cameras on the street, in most of the buildings, and even built into your computer and cell phone.  But you can be sure that 24/7, "They" know who you are and where you are, right down to the GPS coordinates, and the Google Street View.  If you buy something, your habit is put into a zillion profiles, and your ads will change to reflect those habits..  "They" will try to get you to buy something else.  Again and again and again.

 

 

All we will have left that which can't be changed.......are our "Memories".

HTC U12+ smartphone Specs, Design and features

HTC U12+

Chinese smartphone manufacturer HTC introduce it's first flagship smartphone U12+. Last year HTC won back mindshare with its flagship U11 phone, the elegance and appealing imaging and video of which made it an attractive alternative to big-spending rivals. An even stronger U11+ a few months later proved that this was no one-off. But with the U12+, HTC has, like Liverpool's Loris Karius, committed two quite inexplicable unforced errors.

HTC’s new U12+ smartphone has been thoughtfully designed with features to enhance the user experience while providing a unique translucent look that’s like nothing else on the market. Unfortunately, it also has two major shortcomings. This notchless smartphone features top of the line technical specifications and feels solid in the hand, but it lacks sufficient battery power and widespread Canadian availability.

The six-inch Quad HD (2,880 x 1,440) super LCD 6 display, with 18:9 aspect ratio and with no notch, is powered by 2.8GHz Qualcomm 845 chip set with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage capacity. The hybrid-style SIM tray supports microSD card up to 2TB. The bad news is that HTC is sticking to LCD display with 537 pixels per inch density rather than the AMOLED. It runs on Android Oreo and it is upgradeable to Android P (next OS version). The phone is water and dust resistant and weighs 188 grams.

This time around, HTC is upping the ante with the second generation of Edge Sense, its squeeze-driven navigation tool. First, you set up your squeeze-force level — how hard you have to press to trigger an action — by squeezing your phone with your preferred pressure level three times. To test it, the device prompts you to squeeze to fill up a balloon, then release the pressure to launch it. You then test the double-tap feature, which pins a mini window to the bottom right or bottom left of the display for easier one-handed use.

Edge Sense's default settings are a short squeeze to launch the Camera app, a double tap on the side frame for one-handed mode and a holding gesture to keep your phone in portrait mode as you lie down to read. Most phones will automatically flip to landscape mode if you hold them sideways, but this Edge Sense gesture prevents that from happening. You can assign other actions for all but the holding gesture in Settings > Edge Sense.

Camera have four lenses

Camera-wise, the U12+’s dual front-facing shooter takes very clear selfies with a tendency toward overexposed highlights, though not to an excessive level. In the perfect lighting or in less than ideal lighting conditions, the U12+ takes detailed and clear photos.  When it’s dark, however, the selfie shooter doesn’t do quite as good of a job. Due to the phone not having a front-facing flash, those pictures don’t get too bright. There’s a screen-flash feature, however, it’s not perfect and in most situations it doesn’t provide enough light.  The dual rear-facing camera takes crisp, sharp, vivid and full of colour images. The pictures are more akin to the Samsung Galaxy S9 than the Google Pixel 2 XL, meaning colours are more saturated. Like the front-facing camera, the rear setup tends to overexpose rather than under, however, I haven’t found that it does this to an unbearable point. Users can also manually adapt the bokeh effect, allowing them to choose how blurry they want the background, this feature worked very well. Additionally, the camera features quick auto focus, something I enjoyed.

Battery and sound

The HTC U12+ also features 3,500mAh battery, and while the phone is a powerhouse and runs smoothly, it doesn’t last long on a single charge. Someone using it with very low usage would find that it’d get them through the day. However, with medium usage, which includes one hour of Netflix, 33 minutes of YouTube and about an hour-and-a-half of listening to music on Google Play Music, the phone lasted about 12.5 hours. The fast charger can fully charge the device within an hour-and-a-half and get it to 50 percent in a little more than thirty minutes. The phone’s speaker is very loud. While its volume is a little quieter measured with the Sound Meter app.

The U12+ also has a feature called ‘Activity Reader’ that reads out messages, calendar events and announces who’s calling when connected to a wired or wireless headset. Users can set it so the phone doesn’t do this if the display is on. The phone is good, but definitely not great. One of the biggest reasons is the price. The U12+ costs $1,099 (for the 64GB of storage and 6GB of RAM) and is not available at any Canadian carrier. This doesn’t compare favourably to the OnePlus 6, which retails at $699.  The unfortunate thing is the U12+ might be worth that cost if it was available at carriers on a two-year subsidy. For those who don’t mind paying full price, though, this is definitely a good choice.

Xiaomi Redmi 6, Redmi 6A launch with Face Unlock and 18:9 display

Xiaomi Redmi 6, Redmi 6A launch with Face Unlock and 18:9 display

Chinise smartphone manufacturere Xiaomi held an event in China for the launch of the budget smartphone Xiaomi Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A. The new smartphones are the successors to the Redmi 5 and Redmi 5A entry-level smartphones.  Both the Redmi 6 phones have a similar 5.45-inches display with the 18:9 aspect ratio. Both Redmi 6 and Redmi 6A will go on sale in China from June 15.  There’s no word on when the new Redmi 6 will make their way to the Indian market. The new Redmi 6, Redmi 6A will be powered by MIUI 10 on Android Oreo.

Xiaomi co-founder Lin Bin had earlier shared a poster for the launch event on his Weibo page, which indicated Redmi 6 series would be revealed.  Xiaomi was expected to launch three Redmi 6 phones; a Redmi 6 Pro or Redmi 6 Plus was also speculated with a notch design, though that phone has not been revealed.  Redmi 6 Plus or Mi A2 Lite as some reports have said, was spotted on China’s TENAA certification website.

Xiaomi Redmi 6: Full specifications

Xiaomi Redmi 6 comes with a 5.45-inch display with 18:9 aspect ratio. The smartphone runs on MediaTek Helio P22 processor and is available in 3GB and 4GB RAM variants with 32GB and 64GB storage respectively.

The smartphone has a dual-camera setup on the back that consists of 12-megapixel and 5-megapixel sensors. It has a 5-megapixel selfie-camera. Just like the recent Redmi phones, Xiaomi Redmi 6 also comes with Artificial Intelligence (AI), mainly integrated into the camera. The smartphone also supports facial recognition for unlocking the phone. The base model of Redmi 6 is priced at CNY 799, which is Rs 8,000 approximately

Redmi 6A: Full specifications

Xiaomi Redmi 6A comes with a similar set of specifications except that it runs on MediaTek A22 processor coupled with 2GB of RAM. The phone comes with 16GB of built-in storage. On the back, Redmi 6A sports 13-megapixel and 5-megapixel sensors. The smartphone has a 3,000mAh battery. Xiaomi claims the MIUI onboard has been optimised for Redmi 6A, reducing system apps’ memory usage by about 30%. The base model of Redmi 6A is priced at CNY 599, which is Rs 6,300 approximately.

“Redmi 6 offers many AI-enabled functions. When you pick up the phone, the screen will automatically wake and you can unlock the phone with AI Face Unlock. By integrating with the phone’s camera, Xiaomi’s proprietary Xiao Ai voice assistant can recognize plants, vehicles, living environments, as well as items for price comparison. For certain scenarios Xiao Ai can translate English, French, Japanese, Korean, German, Spanish and Hindi into Chinese. Xiao Ai can also detect SMS messages sent by fake mobile base stations set up by scammers, protecting users against possible attacks,” said Xiaomi on its website.

WhatsApp to enter digital payment For All Indian Users As Early As Next Week

WhatsApp Payments

After multiple delays in getting regulatory clearance, Facebook-owned WhatsApp is finally set to roll out its payment feature to all Indian users in the first week of June 2018. A report suggests that the UPI-based in-app payment services will be taken off from its current beta phase and will be rolled out for all the Indian users.

WhatsApp has been got permission from the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) to start working on the feature. WhatsApp payment services to the whole of India as early as next week in an attempt to win market share, even though its partners aren’t all ready, said people familiar with the matter. The messaging app will partner with HDFC Bank Ltd, ICICI Bank Ltd and Axis Bank Ltd to process the transfers, and State Bank of India will join once it has the necessary systems in place, the people said. Facebook was aiming for a full rollout with four partners but decided to go ahead with just three as its rivals were racing ahead, the people said, asking not to be named as the information isn’t public.

WhatsApp will be serious competitor to the popular digital wallets and payment apps like Paytm, Google Tez, PhonePe and so on. When the existing solutions are compared, Paytm recorded a huge 200 million user base in February 2018 and the rest are still fairly new in the race. So, it’s a good time and opportunity for WhatsApp to foray into the league and make the most out of its user base. With over 200 million monthly active users, WhatsApp surely poses as a solid threat to its rivals.

Experts suggest though the WhatsApp Pay option would more or less work on the same principle of sending and receiving payments, its ability to allow users to do it while chatting makes it a natural winner.

WhatsApp does not add an extra layer of security like Google does with its Tez payments app, but you do need to verify each payment using your UPI pin. Once set up, all you need to do is enter an amount and verify it using the UPI ID and the amount will be credited to the recipient's account.

Facebook-owned WhatsApp is yet to announce anything officially yet, but with pressure from competitors Paytm and Google Tez, Facebook may go ahead and announce a widespread roll-out by next week, despite SBI's systems not really ready yet.

Yes, the Smartisan R1 has 1 terabyte of internal storage and its UFS 2.1. The rest of the specs are also impressive.

Windows XP 2018 Edition concept mixes the old and the new

Windows XP 2018 Edition 

If you have used a PC in the last 20 years, you will almost certainly have used the Windows XP operating system for a while. The moment of Windows XP already happened a decade ago but, what would Windows XP be like in 2018? Welcome to Windows XP 2018 Edition. Since 8 April 2014, Microsoft has no longer providing security updates and technical support. But the latest Newmarketshare report shows its immense importance by holding a significant share of 6.13 percent, which tells that it is still being used in many businesses and industries.

Even it is used by many industries, the outdated features of Windows XP don’t compete with latest Windows 10. But what if Windows XP is revamped with modern attire? How would Windows XP look if it is redesigned as per the standards and expectations for 2018? In the past, we have seen efforts like Windows XP running on iPhone 7, a powerful PC running XP being overclocked to 7GHz, and more. Now, a concept designer Kamer Kaan Avdan has come up with his new creation: Windows XP 2018 edition. In the video, made by Tech Youtuber, Mr.Kamer Kaan Avdan we see an operating system with the clean look and “fluent design” choices of Microsoft’s more modern operating systems like Window 10, but with color palettes and layouts more akin to Windows XP. It even comes complete with the original backdrops and login screens and brings back the Microsoft “Rover” pixellated dog character to preside over search results.

The Windows XP 2018 Edition is somehow similar to the XP we know. Avdan even keeps the original color scheme while also fusing the familiar classic XP look with more modern Windows 10 Fluent Design. There’s no full-fledged MetroUI here (thanks), but you will have touches of it as you hit the Start Menu. And it’s surprisingly gorgeous – cleaner even. I like it so much. It just a concept, okay. But I’m totally buying it.

We have to admit that especially after seeing this video we totally agree that Windows XP OS can make us nostalgic even in 2018. And for this reason, innovative minds such as the one of Kamer Kaan Avdan are doing a great job to make sure that XP stays in our memory.

This isn’t the first concept of a potential alternative modern Windows that Avdan has put together. Just a few months ago, Avdan released a video of a conceptual “Windows 11” which looks even cleaner than the retro-future XP idea does. It too borrows elements from Windows 10, but streamlines the user-interface and introduces visual elements to enhance features like weather reports that can cross between interfaces and windows.
