Java was developed over four years by James Gosling and a team of researchers at Sun Microsystems, starting in 1991 and releasing in 1995. They developed an object-oriented language that could run on multiple operating systems. It’s since been used on a wide range of devices, from phones to NASA rovers, and was also a multimedia web technology (like Flash was and JavaScript still is) via Java Applets up until 2016, when Java officially pulled support....

The biggest update this year was the Hero 11 Black.

1. 4K Will Become More Commonplace In High-End Devices Newer mobile platforms already are boasting the capability to take pictures and video at 4K resolutions. So far, the processing power behind these devices has not yet presented the opportunity to view the videos in all their splendor, much less run a game in such a resolution. The release of the Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 leaves me hopeful that this will soon be rectified as its capacity to take tremendous workloads with grace makes it possible to accomplish this....

WhatsApp has various options that will help keep your information safe, without having to install another app. Manage Who Can See Your Profile Picture, About, and Status Content When you first set up your WhatsApp account, you probably set it up in a way that reflects who you are.

Our Opinion While Simon recognizes that social media has difficulties trying to remain usable while still keeping their bookkeeping in the black, he doesn’t use social media nearly as much as he used to a few years ago, so a “premium option” without ads isn’t of much interest. “Even if the sites put up a paywall to use their service, I won’t put up any money to use it.” He adds that there’s just so many useful and free social apps on mobiles these days, so paying for one doesn’t make much sense....

Tipster Kartikey Singh has taken to Twitter (via Notebookcheck) with a bold claim about the forthcoming Xiaomi 13 Ultra’s telephoto camera. They don’t offer any specific details on how exactly this new periscope camera will “shock everyone”, but the clear implication is that it will go above and beyond what we’ve seen before. It could even suggest that the new periscope lens will exceed the current capability of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra and its twin 10MP 3x and 10x zoom cameras....

1: What Does BitTorrent’s Chat Do That Others Don’t? Remember when I explained how DHT works? If you don’t, you might want to read up on it, because BitTorrent’s chat service uses the same principle. This means that all chat messages will be transmitted through peer-to-peer (P2P) communication. You’ll discover who’s available by downloading an address list from one of the first people you connect to. This is a very effective way to maintain anonymity, but I doubt that BitTorrent is stopping there....
