Specifications of Samsung Galaxy A42

Most importantly the phone is supported by a 5G network, and the company demands that the phone will be the cheapest 5G smartphone. From the images of the phone, it can be seen that the phone has slim bezel all around. The phone has a blue to grey gradient pattern on its back.

The Samsung Galaxy A42 has a 6.6″ super AMOLED, water drop-notch display, but the screen resolution of the phone is still not reported yet. The power and volume button are present on the right side of the phone.

The phone has a quad-rear camera on the backside, aligned in a rectangle-shaped module with a flash on the top left corner. But we got no details about the sensors of the cameras. The tiny lens on the lower right one clearly hints that it’s depth sensor though. The water drop-notch shape on the screen holds the selfie camera sensor. The fingerprint sensor may be placed on the screen.

The motherboard of Galaxy A42 is listed with the codename ‘lito’, which is associated with the Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 765 SoC and Snapdragon 690 SoC. According to a reliable tipster Abhishek Yadav’s Twitter post, the GPU of the phone is listed Adreno 690, which is associated with Snapdragon 690 SoC.

Based on the source, the Samsung Galaxy A42 may have 4GB of RAM capacity with the support of 128GB of internal storage, runs on Android 10, presumably with One UI tweaks. The single-core score of the Samsung Galaxy A42 on GreekBench is 615, whereas the multi-core score is at 1,799. The phone may be packed with 5,000 mAh of battery capacity, but the charging speed is not known yet.

Turris Shield will secure the network for normal users as well as professionals

0

The CZ.NIC association introduces a new hardware-based firewall that everybody can install.

The CZ.NIC association, the administrator of the Czech national domain, introduced today a unique firewall from the open-source Turris family. The innovation is called the Turris Shield and offers users a unique security system for all household devices connected to the internet. Users do not need to be IT experts or insiders to use it. Turris Shield is connected before a standard home Wi-fi router, so the whole household or office becomes secure. Owners of routers with an integrated modem can use the Turris Shield behind the router and add any Wi-Fi AP. After the first launch, the administrator’s password must be set and Turris Shield will then immediately test its vulnerability. From that moment, the whole network is protected by the fastest adaptive firewall on the market. The firewall can respond to threats within seconds. On top of this, Turris Shield has an integrated Open VPN support to facilitate work from home and increase security when travelling. The hardware-based firewall Turris Shield can be purchased in European Amazon stores for USD 109.

“The mission of the Turris project is to create internet immunity and protect the most essential part of any network: the router,” says Michal Hrušecký from the Turris development team. “The Turris Omnia router was our first product. Then we introduced the modular Turris MOX intended for the most demanding tech fans. Now we want to offer a prime security system also to normal users who don’t want to play with their network, but who need top protection. This is why we developed Turris Shield.“

Every month more than three thousand attacks are made on average on every router or server all over the world. Some attacks are averted thanks to up-to-date and well secured software, but many attacks are unfortunately successful. If successful, the attacker takes control over your device and gets access to user data, passwords and often also money. The hardware firewall Turris Shield will reliably prevent attackers from taking control over the network and connected devices.

Standard routers rely on updates installed by the user who however usually ignore this process, because they simply don’t know there is a new release. This is however a different case with Turris Omnia and Turris MOX routers and now also the Turris Shield firewall. They take care of their security updates themselves. The world-wide network of Turris devices also cooperates on the detection and elimination of new internet threats and can respond within two seconds thanks to the Sentinel system. An attack on a Turris device in, say, Australia is therefore instantly detected on all Turris devices all over the world. And this is a big advantage for owners of normal routers who have easily upgraded them with the unique Czech Turris Shield firewall.

Virtual private network for everyone

But there is more in the Turris Shield than an adaptive firewall. It can also run Open VPN (Virtual Private Network) in the server and client modes. This means that websites that would otherwise discriminate the user due to his/her geographical location now become accessible. Or, from the other perspective, safe access to the home network is permitted from any location. Both businesses and people who need to connect to their network when traveling or doing home office will appreciate this function. Thanks to encrypted VPN, Turris Shield will ensure anonymity and the desired security in all instances.

The invisible heroes of the Turris project

The user community involved in this project is one of the cornerstones of this unparalleled security system of all Turris routers and devices. They feed in precious data to the Turris command centre which can then respond to the most diverse threats and protect all users involved.

“Thousands of internet users from all over the world are involved in the Turris project. It is thanks to their help that every day we can detect hundreds of attackers who want to take control over other people’s routers,“ said Martin Prudek, the developer of the Turris firewall system. “We believe that Turris Shield will contribute to even more use of the Turris OS system and more data about wannabe attackers can be collected for higher security. It will also help those who lack the capacity for regular care of their network.“

Why there’s a deficit of AMD Ryzen 4000 APUs in the Indian market? – AMD answers

6

In 2020, AMD has been making headlines with their new Ryzen 4000 APUs that have totally dominated the laptop market and it is evident from their Q2 earnings. Although Intel has made a lot of offerings in the form of 10th gen CPUs, but could never match with AMD’s price-to-performance ratio. While Intel still remains on 4 cores, AMD has jumped to 8 cores not only with gaming-centric H-series but also for the efficient 15W TDP based U series.

This has resulted in a surging demand for AMD powered laptops, especially when even a thin and light notebook too can now have 8 physical cores which can result in blazing fast performances. People can now get amazing speeds on laptops without having to spend much because the lower Ryzen 3 4300U is more powerful than the last-gen flagship. Also, the 7nm efficiency has helped these APUs deliver incredible battery life that was a weak spot for AMD until now.

In India too people have gone crazy about new Ryzen 4000U & 4000H powered laptops, from Lenovo to Dell, from Asus to HP, every OEM has introduced their new Ryzen laptops in India. However, the point is, most of the laptops have been retailing with much higher pricing these days and people have been complaining to me regarding this also a lot of them like the Lenovo Ideapad Slim 5, Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 has been out of stock for weeks now.

AMD Ryzen 7 4800H surpasses Intel Core i7-9700K desktop CPU in Time Spy benchmark

So, a lot of you asked me to contact AMD and so I did, I asked the following question:

Why AMD’s new Ryzen 4000 APU powered laptops are getting price hikes and getting out of stock recently in India? It would be great to know what’s AMD’s point of view regarding this

To that AMD India representative has answered:

“We are seeing unprecedented demand for our AMD Ryzen 4000 mobile series processors based on leadership performance and energy efficiency. AMD Ryzen 4000 processor sales ramped faster than any mobile processor in AMD history, resulting in AMD gaining 5.8 points of mobile market share in 2020 (Mercury). We are increasing production to address the incremental demand requests from our customers for AMD Ryzen 4000 series processors and are focused on growing our footprint in the notebook market.”

It’s true, AMD is having mind-blowing sales, and as we heard from other sources as well, this is an international deficit, however, rest be assured AMD is trying to resolve this. I have been informed soon, this situation with Ryzen 4000 APUs will be resolved and in India, not only the previously launched ones but also, a lot of new ones will be arriving as well.

However, the overpricing situation might get resolved as well when ample stocks arrive and do not fall into prey of wrong pricing on both Amazon and Flipkart. I have seen laptops like HP Omen 15 getting almost Rs.6k-7k price hikes on Amazon, so wait for few days until the situation gets resolved, if you have any queries feel free to comment or email us.

LaLiga clubs’ revenues take a hit as Spain ban betting companies from sponsoring teams

0

The revenue earned by clubs has already taken a hit due to the COVID-19 pandemic preventing patrons from entering stadiums. If that wasn’t enough, La Liga’s latest rules will have a nasty impact on the finances of most clubs.

According to a law passed by the government, betting companies will be banned from sponsoring teams. Have a look at the official declaration by the government here.

Spanish Minister for Consumer Affairs Alberto Garzon told the press of the government’s intentions on La Sexta. His statement reads as follows: “In the decree that will be approved in October we are going to prohibit that football clubs carry bookmakers on their shirts; it is reckless the clubs that are signing deals for two or three years and will have to correct it. They are making mistakes and they will have to correct it,”

To wrap it up in short, the government is looking to ban La Liga teams from having betting companies sponsor them in any form.

Impact of the declaration

The declaration by Garzon prevents the logos of betting companies to appear on the shirts of clubs in Spain. Although the league itself is involved with Sportium as the official sportsbook company of the league, the ban imposed on clubs will hamper the amount of money they get from these betting companies by up to 70%.

18 16 LaLiga clubs' revenues take a hit as Spain ban betting companies from sponsoring teams

The biggest teams in Spain that are sponsored by betting teams include Sevilla and Valencia. While Valencia is sponsored by Bwin, Sevilla sports Marathon Bet’s logo in bold on their kits. Other teams that earn profit from betting companies include Alaves, Leganes, Granada, Mallorca, Osasuna, and Levante.

This is not the first time that the Spanish government has tried to cut down on betting.

After play resumed following the lockdown, teams were forced to hide betting sponsors for three matchdays. This was because of the state of emergency declared in Spain until the 25th of July.

The league looks set to make a change in the sponsorship landscape from the 2020-21 season. This could impact a lot of clubs negatively, not to mention putting their future in jeopardy.

PUBG Mobile alternatives that you should try now in India

0

The IT Ministry of India banned 118 mobile applications including the mobile version of the famous battle royale game named PUBG. I fully understand this news is shocking to many of us, though we have to move on ultimately. Here is a list of similar battle royale games that you can try as a replacement for PUBG Mobile.

Call of Duty: Mobile

If you are a fan of the TDM mode in PUBG Mobile, you have to try the Multi-Player mode of COD Mobile. For me, it’s way better and has more varieties. Though there are differences in the 100 player matches too, I, personally am not a fan of the Battle Royale mode of COD as there is less variety of maps then PUBG. The most interesting thing is that the game provides new modes, weapon skins, and more almost every week so that you will never get bored.

The Call of Duty Mobile was launched back in October 2019, and from the very beginning, it faces a rapid growth in the competitive market. Even it gains more downloads than PUBG Mobile in the first eight months.

Fortnite

You must have heard about this game. Fortnite is still on the discussion around the globe due to its clash with Apple and Google. It’s very famous in America. Alongside the mobile versions, it also has the PC and console versions. This is one of the best games that can fulfill the vacant place.

Garena Free Fire: Rampage

In India, there are two major communities – one is from the PUBG side, and another one is from Free Fire side. The main reason for the growth of this game is the overall size. Where PUBG Mobile took over 3 GB after installation, it takes around half of that. Obviously, you have to compromise something for that including graphics, but the overall gameplay is ok as per its size.

There are other two options you can go with – Battlelands Royale and Butter Royale but I will recommend to try the other three first.

Suresh Raina opens up for the first time after pulling out of IPL 2020 and returning to India

Suresh Raina returned to India on last week flight from Dubai to New Delhi. Team management said that he was in fear as around 13 CSK members have tested positive.

CSK landed in Dubai on 21st August and stayed in 6 days of quarantine period according to the BCCI rules. But around 13 members of CSK were tested positive in the last couple of days.

The real reason behind Raina’s pullout from IPL 2020 wasn’t cleared and many people claimed that he was unhappy with the hotel room and the services provided to him.

An IPL source told PTI: “In CSK, the norm is that the coach, captain and the manager get suites. However, Raina also gets a suite in any hotel that the franchise stays. It’s just that his room didn’t have a balcony.”

“It was an issue but I don’t think big enough to warrant a comeback (to India). There could be something more than just the scare of rising Covid-caseload in Chennai,” the source added.

raina Suresh Raina opens up for the first time after pulling out of IPL 2020 and returning to India

Now Suresh Raina has talked to the media for the first time after returning to India. He has given an exclusive interview with NDTV. He said: “These are all fabricated stories and anyone who knows me, knows that these are all stories planted by people who don’t want me or CSK to succeed.”

He also said that he had to return to India because of personal reasons and hinted that he may return to CSK for this year’s season of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

He added: “You never know, you might see me in the camp again. First, I have to take care of my responsibilities here and then am ready.”

“It was a personal decision and I had to come back for my family. There was something that needed to be addressed immediately at the home front.”

Suresh Raina has posted on Twitter about the horrible incident which happened to his family in Punjab.

This might be the reason why Raina has returned to India in such a short time span. What happened to his family is a complete nightmare!

So, after he has managed his family matters, Raina might still join the CSK camp in UAE.

The IPL 2020 is scheduled to start on 19th September with the final on 10th November.

IPL 2020: Lasith Malinga has decided to skip this year’s IPL due to personal reason

Sri Lankan pacer Lasith Malinga has decided to skip this year’s IPL due to his personal reasons.

Malinga is the highest wicket-taker in IPL history. His presence in the team is very valuable for Mumbai Indians. His performance in some vital matches was brilliant.

Mumbai Indians have already announced his replacement for IPL 2020. They have decided to go with Australian fast bowler James Pattinson.

Lasith Malinga’s father was ill for the last few days and may require surgery in the upcoming days. First, it was expected that he can join the team at the business end of the tournament. But later he has decided to entirely withdraw his name from this year’s IPL.

Akash Ambani said in the franchise’s website: “Lasith is a legend and a pillar of MI’s strength. There is no denying the fact that we will miss Lasith’s cricketing acumen this season. However, we fully understand Lasith’s need to be in Sri Lanka with his family during this time.”

He also welcomed Pattinson. Mumbai has Jasprit Bumrah and New Zealand pacer Trent Boult in their team. But they will surely miss the experience of Lasith Malinga.

Pattinson had been a part of the Kolkata Knight Riders in the past. But he is yet to make his IPL debut. He has played 39 T20s, taking 47 wickets at an average of 24.12 with an 8.25 economy rate.

He is in good form recently. In the Big Bash League (BBL) he claimed a career-best for Brisbane Heat against Adelaide Strikers at the Gabba. He took 5 wickets at the expense of 33 runs.

IPL is going to start on the 19th of September. It will be a question if the Aussie pacer can replace the most successful bowler of the tournament.

CALL-IDOU KOULIBALY – Is There An End In Sight?

This summer’s transfer market has been officially open for a long time now, but one player’s future that has not concluded so far is that of Kalidou Koulibaly. The 29-year old Senegalese centre back has not handed in a transfer request as such, but per the Italian media’s sources, there is a growing consensus that Napoli and Koulibaly could part ways this window. For Napoli chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis, it would mean keeping club finances in the green post a heavy investment in new recruit Victor Osimhen. For Koulibaly, it would bring an end to his journey in Naples and a final opportunity to ply his trade at a club of higher reputation while still in his peak years.

So the real question seems to be, who is chasing Koulibaly? According to media reports and quotes from De Laurentiis himself, Manchester City are the frontrunners to sign the defender while Paris St Germain (PSG) and Manchester United are monitoring the situation.

The Citizens would surely benefit from Koulibaly’s presence having been defensively poor throughout the last season. He would bring a myriad of attributes such as command in defence, physical style and leadership – aspects that would remind people of Vincent Kompany, who City have very sorely missed since his departure. On paper thus, it would seem fitting that Koulibaly is yet another star name to embrace and adapt quickly to the ways and means of the calling of the Premier League.

Koulibaly would most certainly be perfect partners for Harry Maguire at Manchester United as well as Presnel Kimpembe at PSG, but both clubs seem to be focusing their efforts elsewhere in the market.

Latest developments have indicated that while United are looking to strike a deal for Dayot Upamecano, PSG hope to ensnare Milan Skriniar from Inter Milan.

This could potentially see Man City have a free run at Koulibaly and wrap up a deal, having negotiated for many weeks now. One of the reasons for the slow progress is that the player’s agent Fali Ramadani has been negotiating on behalf of both clubs since they do not share a good relationship after the Jorginho incident in 2017. A bright spot over the course of the tango between Napoli and City has however seen the former reduce their demands to 80 million, while the latter has upped their offer to 70 million inclusive of bonuses. This could mean that an agreement is close, but an interesting week certainly awaits us.
