A11 Bionic Chipset Killed all the Competition

The iPhone X was launched  with many highlights including Face ID, a Good Looking almost bezel-less OLED display, and a very fast A11 Bionic chipset - something the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus also sport. The SoC has six CPU cores, with the ability to run all of them simultaneously. 

Now, the iPhone X has been put through GeekBench 4, and the single-core and multi-core tests both prove that the chipset is indeed very powerful. The Apple iPhone X beats the competition in the market - like the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, Samsung Galaxy S8, and the OnePlus 5, and the Samsung Galaxy S8+ by a fair margin, as seen in this comparison graph. The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and Galaxy S8 are being powered by a Exynos 8895 SoC, while the One Plus Five and the Galaxy S8+ are powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 SoCs.

The multi-core scores for the iPhone X are much higher than the rest with the second on the list being the Galaxy Note 8 with 6,784 points, while the iPhone X manages a score of 10,069. The single-core score for the iPhone X is at 4,188, while the iPhone 7 Plus stands second with 3,473 points. The iPhone 7 Plus has an A10 Fusion chip with two high-powered cores and four power-efficient ones, but unlike the A11 which is able to run all cores simultaneously, the last generation one was able to run only one cluster at a time - either the high-powered one or the power-efficient ones.

OnePlus! Oreo Update in Open Beta! Confirmed

A month ago One Plus and One Plus 3T received Android Oreo update through a closed beta program. Good News! is now the update is ready to be tested for those in OnePlus 3/3T Open Beta Program. 

Android Oreo is more visually appealing according to Sources and has different quick settings and Setting areas. If you wanna know more about what in New Android Oreo you can check the Android Oreo Quick Overview from the link Authority Oreo Quick Overview. 

The Oreo update for the One Plus 3/3T is available to download for both the devices in size of 1.4 Gb which you can download from the links given below. You guys have to flash the update as per instructions given. 

As exciting as the news might be, it arrives with a somewhat somber context. Keep in mind that, according to OnePlus, Android Oreo will be the last major Android update for the OnePlus 3 and 3T. Likely because of that, the Open Beta program for the two phones will end after Android Oreo exits beta and makes its way to more users.
Security patches will be released “for the foreseeable future,” but with today’s news, we’re that much closer to the end of the road for the OnePlus 3 and 3T.

.BIN &.CUE FILES ? EXPLAINED.

BIN & .CUE

There always seems to be the question "what do I do with a .bin and .cue file" in these forums so I figured I would write a quick and simple tutorial. Please feel free to add more.

So you have downloaded two files, one with a .bin extension and one with a .cue extension. "What do I do with these?" you ask. There are a number of options.

BURN TO CD

You will need either NERO, CDRWIN or FIREBURNER to burn the file.

To burn with NERO:
Start NERO, choose FILE, choose BURN IMAGE, locate the .cue file you have and double click it. A dialog box will come up, for anything other than music make sure you choose DISC-AT-ONCE (DAO). You can also turn off the simulation burn if you so choose.
Then burn away.

To burn with CDRWin:
Start CDRWin, choose the button on the top left, choose LOAD CUESHEET, press START RECORDING.

To burn with Fireburner:
Start Fireburner, click on the button on the bottom left corner "VISUAL CUE BURNER/BINCHUNKER", press the right mouse button and choose LOAD TRACKS FROM .CUE and choose the correct .CUE file, press the right mouse button again and chooseselect "Burn/Test Burn", choose DISK AT ONCE (DAO), disable TEST BURN and MULTISESSION, press OK.

.CUE ERRORS
The most common error you will get with a .cue file is when it points to an incorrect path. This is easily fixed. Find the .bin file, copy the exact title including the .bin extension. Now find the .cue file, open the .cue file using notepad. It should look similar to this:

FILE "name of file.bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
TRACK 02 MODE2/2352
INDEX 00 00:04:00
INDEX 01 00:06:00

Delete everything in the quotes, in this case we would
delete name of file.bin. Now place the title you copied
in between the quotes. Save the changes and close out.
Thats it, your .cue file should work now. 

OTHER WAYS TO USE .BIN & .CUE FILES

VCDGear:
This program will allow you to extract MPEG streams from CD images, convert VCD files to MPEG, correct MPEG errors, and more.

Daemon Tools:
This program creates a virtual drive on your PC which will allow you to "mount" the .cue file and use whatever is in the .bin file without having to burn it to a cd.

ISOBuster:
This program will allow you to "bust" open the .bin file and extract the files within the .bin.

Jio Rs.149/- Plan will now provide Unlimited Access (Updated)

Reliance Jio has updated its Rs. 149 prepaid recharge pack to offer unlimited data access to consumers by quietly updating its plans. The Jio Rs. 149 plan, till recently, came with 2GB of data cap, but with the update, users can get unlimited data access even after their 2GB data cap is exhausted. Of course, the speed beyond the 2GB quota would be lower, as is the case with all other Jio plans on offer. This move leaves the Rs. 19 and Rs. 49 plans as the only ones without unlimited Internet access once the FUP is consumed.

The Rs. 149 plan still comes with 2GB FUP for 28 days, but now users can access the Web at 64kbps speed after the high-speed quota is over. Notably, even though Jio has provided customers with unlimited Internet, the post-FUP speed is still lower than that of its other plans – the Rs. 96, Rs. 309 and plans priced higher all offer 128kbps speed, twice that of the Rs. 149 plan, once the data the high-speed is exhausted. 

The Rs. 149 plan costs a little less than half of the popular Rs. 309 plan that offers 56 days of validity and 1GB data per day FUP, and is a lot more lucrative. Even the Rs. 96 plan comes with 7GB of 4G data, even though the validity is just 7 days. The Rs. 149 plan is not available for postpaid consumers of Jio. Calls are free, of course, and the pack comes with Jio apps subscription and free SMSes.

With the updated plan, the Jio Rs. 149 plan has a slight edge over Airtel’s pack at the same price. The Airtel Rs. 149 plan for prepaid users comes with 2GB of data as well, and bundled Airtel-to-Airtel calls.

 Jio Rs.149/- Plan Highlights

• The Jio Rs. 149 plan now offers unlimited Internet access
• Users will get 64kbps speed after the 2GB FUP is consumed
• Airtel also offers a Rs. 149 plan with 2GB bundled data

The Yahoo! Breach was 3 Billion not 1 Billion Accounts

When Yahoo disclosed in December that a billion (yes, billion) of its users' accounts had been compromised in an August 2013 breach, it came as a staggering revelation. Now, 10 months later, the company would like to make a correction: That incident actually exposed three billion accounts—every Yahoo account that existed at the time.

On the one hand, this new information doesn't really change things in a practical sense, because the initial billion account estimate was already enormous—you could safely assume you were impacted—and Yahoo took protective steps for all users in December, like resetting passwords and unencrypted security questions. On the other hand, three billion accounts.

"They are as big as it gets," says Jeremiah Grossman, who worked as an information security officer at Yahoo for two years in the early 2000s and is now the chief of security strategy at SentinelOne. "Maybe Google or maybe Facebook, but the next mega-breach is not going to be orders of magnitude bigger.""

In this case, it took Yahoo three years to discover and disclose the breach, and almost four years to complete the investigation. And let's not confuse all of that with a separate Yahoo breach perpetrated in late 2014, and not disclosed until September 2016, that impacted 500 million accounts. That alone still holds as the second-biggest known breach of all time, in terms of impacted users. (One could argue that the recent Equifax breach, which impacted 145.5 million people, will ultimately have greater negative overall impact because of the particular sensitivity of the data involved.)

The most recent disclosure also comes after Yahoo's recent acquisition by Verizon and subsequent merger with AOL. Disclosing two enormous breaches back to back at the end of 2016 put a strain on the acquisition process, and even reportedly led Verizon to demand a price reduction.

Even though three billion sounds like a dramatic number, Grossman argues that it shouldn't come as a surprise. "To everybody on the outside, it looked to us when we originally read all the information that [the breach] must have impacted all the accounts," he says. The attackers "got so deep in the system, I couldn’t imagine why certain accounts would have been affected and not others."

Yahoo published information about the revision on its Account Security Update page, attempting to clarify the timeline of events. "Subsequent to Yahoo's acquisition by Verizon, and during integration, the company recently obtained new intelligence and now believes, following an investigation with the assistance of outside forensic experts, that all Yahoo user accounts were affected by the August 2013 theft," the company wrote.

The update from Yahoo is a new high—that is to say, a new low—in terms of mega-breach scale. Think of it this way: On Monday, Equifax faced warranted criticism when it revised the number of people affected by its massive data breach from 143 million to 145.5 million. Yahoo's adjustment weighs in at 800 times that. The silver lining, one imagines, is that it quite literally can't get any worse.
