The rear screens to the Xiaomi 17 pro return

by

Xiaomi officially shows an advance of the next Xiaomi 17 Pro and 17 pro max, A brief video in which quite promising details have been revealed. The devices, which as we explain They forget the number 16 To shorten distances with The new iPhone Also in last name, they promise a radical change in the design that the Chinese firm had become accustomed to us until now. The great novelty is the incorporation of a secondary screen in the back, integrated into a completely renewed chamber island and that occupies practically the entire width of the device. An ambitious generational leap. Xiaomi has decided to completely omit the numbering 16 to directly position its new range against Apple’s iPhone 17. The strategy seems that it is not directed only in the name, but that both the Xiaomi 17 Pro and the Pro Max adopt a rectangular design on its island of Chambers that, in addition to reminding the competition approach, also adds a key element that we usually see in some current folding phones. The “Magic Back Screen” as the protagonist. As we can see in The promotional videothe secondary rear screen is completely integrated around the two main chambers of the system. Among some of the things we can do with this screen, everything seems to indicate that this new screen will allow you to show different clock spheres, function as a camera viewer for selfies with the main cameras and even show application information. In fact, it is not the first time that Xiaomi experiences with rear screens: the Mi 11 ultra From 2021 it already included a 1.1 -inch AMOLED panel, and everything indicates that Xiaomi wants to collect this element again to try to highlight among the hard competition. First level technical specifications. In addition to the striking of the screen, it should be remembered that the new devices will release the processor Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 of Qualcomm and maintain collaboration with Leica for the Triple Rear Chamber. In the absence of having it in hand and testing it in depth, the leaks point to great capacity batteries: 7,000 mAh for the standard model and up to 7,500 mAh for the Pro Max, figures that would mean a significant increase with respect to the previous generation. When you want to be different in a saturated market. The incorporation of this functional secondary screen is Xiaomi seeking how they can highlight in A highly saturated marketwith very good devices by many manufacturers that also try to wear a piece of the huge cake. It is clear that it is difficult to innovate in the field of smartphones, especially considering that the vast majority of proposals are similar in the aesthetic for pursuing the user’s convenience. Xiaomi wants in this sense to look for a striking proposal and add value to its devices, as is the case of this secondary screen. In the theory it can be very useful, but it is possible to see if the mass public sees it as a key feature in the phones. Next launch. The three models of the 17 series (including the base model that seems to arrive without rear screen) will officially be presented in China throughout this month. The Xiaomi 17 ultra on the other hand, which has traditionally become the flagship of the range, would not occur in September according to the latest leaks, so everything indicates that users will have to wait to see this model in stores.

The EU wants to corner the privacy of WhatsApp and Signal with rear doors. In France the play has gone wrong

by

The National Assembly of France vote On March 20, a fundamental issue for the privacy of its citizens. One that put into play the confidentiality of their conversations in messaging applications such as WhatsApp or Signal. Rear doors. As they point out In EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation), the French proposal was disturbing. The objective was to force messaging platforms such as WhatsApp or Signal to create “rear doors” that allow hidden access to private conversations. The proposal is part of measures with the argument of avoiding child pornography (sexual Child abuse material, CSAM). We are waiting for you in territory s Do you like Samsung? We have a new specialized medium in Samsung and its products with tricks, offers, tutorials and all news about the brand. Go to territory A for mass surveillance. The law proposal raised a spectacular tool for mass surveillance. One who already tried adopt in the United Kingdom in 2019 and that would allow security agencies to join encrypted chats without their participants getting tale. Terrible for privacy, but also for security. The threat not only affected our privacy, but the security of these applications. The experts They criticized Already in 2019 the proposal and They warned that it could serve to introduce systemic vulnerabilities or create tools that many would end up abusing. The French organization La Quadrature du Net (LQDN), which defends the fundamental freedoms of the digital world, He urged a mobilization Against this “drug law” that among its options included this theoretical creation of rear doors. Of that, nothing. Fortunately for privacy defenders, French legislators voted against said proposal, allowing these platforms to continue to continue operating with end -to -end encryption that protects the confidentiality of these communications. A difficult victory. As indicated in the EFF, this victory was not easy, and only came after popular pressure, expert comments “and the support of civil society.” Even so, they warn, the pressures will follow to try to activate measures that mining the privacy of our communications, “perhaps repaired, or put in full speed through quieter legislative moments.” That is also the danger: that these laws end up being approved in a deceptive way and as part of broader and more generic laws. Blissful chat control. Last September the Presidency of Hungary of the European Union Council recovered the proposal of the so -called Chat Control, that is, the end -to -end encryption elimination. There was a first attempt that was rejected, but during the summer the threads began to be moved for review, the called chat control 2.0 that is in development. The new proposal relaxes the terms. Chat Control 2.0 is still worrying. The proposal Published by the Presidency of Poland of the Council would make the scan of these “voluntary” conversations and would be classified as preventive. The experts They believe That this proposal is a step in the right direction to protect the right of European citizens to maintain their private digital correspondence. The Government of Spain wants rear doors. Fernando Grande-Marlaska, Spanish Interior Minister, is one of the great defenders of the rear doors. In a 2023 document he presented how it is “imperative that we have access to the data.” There are many other European countries in favor of this type of measures, and as explained in the activist organization ChatControl.EU “Created by Patrick Breyer, of the German Pirate Party,” the risks to privacy are important.

an ultra -rear robot with synthetic skin that reacts to us

by

I have been recorded. It is a strange sensation. Disturbing at least. Disturbing. They are the adjectives that come to mind when I think of Amira, the ultra -re -taught robot that has taught in the Mobile World Congress the company Engineered Arts. A Robot with a woman’s appearance, wig and very successful facial expressions. A robot that also reacts to what we say or even if we greet with the hand. Last year it was what impressed us most from the Mobile Telephony Congress and in this edition they have taken another step. Amira is the renewal of AMECA robot. In addition to incorporating a more advanced AI engine, it now looks more similar to a human woman. They have put hair, synthetic skin and a dress. We already had a robot with a totally articulated body and artificial intelligence, now it has also improved its appearance. Amira is promoted by OpenAi GPT-4. This allows you to answer what we say quite naturally. In the demonstration it works only in English, but can answer in another 50 languages, since GPT-4 It has that capacity. I have seen what awaits us with humanoid robots and I have sensations found The robot was in the stand of the O & operator, of the United Arab Emirates and previously known as Etisalat. In an example of the advances of robotics and how they intend to revolutionize customer service. With robots that are able to analyze their environment, know if there is someone close, what they are doing and react in line. Located on a fixed circle, Amira does not walk, although it does move the upper part of the trunk, head and arms. The robot does not stop talking and reacting to the public. If you raise a hand, he greets you. If you ask anything, answer naturally. And this is precisely its power. It is not necessary to start questions in a certain way; Answer fluidly. AND If you get in front and do nothing, suddenly pretend to get angry And his eyes show an expression of weariness. The truth is that the reactions are super achieved, nothing to do with other robots that are much more basic. With Amira, the reactions happen faster and do not disregard so much. During our visit, Amira asks us if we are having a good time at the Mobile World Congress and if we are tired, clarifying that she is not a robot. In order to identify what happens, it has Two cameras in the eyes with facial recognition software and two microphone sets located in the neck area. The movements still have a margin of improvement, but the expressions of the face are well achieved. He smiles, gets angry, looks the other way, counts jokes and is surprised. But The most disturbing is how realistic it seems. Articulated hands, face, wig and even nails. If we look at his hands close, he gives a lot of grrima. Not only because of the aspect, but because it also reacts as a person. And it is that combination that most surprises. When I approached to take a picture I felt fatal. On the one hand it was perfectly aware that it was an object, but that feeling of approaching “someone” was present. In that attempt to seem as human as possible, they have even put jewels and a red rebel. Also simple white sports, very well chosen to give an informal aspect. Nor with those managed to eliminate the disturbing sensation produced by the robot. Discussing with those present reflection is the same. The most repeated word was’Creepy ‘. Last year, however, it was different. Ameca had no skin or wig. Somehow, human appearance was not tried so much, since the gray color and mechanical components were visibly exposed. Instead, Amira is pure skin. Unlike Ameca, Amira does try to camouflage her robot status. Although it is easily appreciated, if we see it from afar it is not so simple. A little observant and clueless person could be checked briefly. The conquest of the disturbing valley It has been present for decades. At the visual level we cannot say that there has been much progress, because in the end it is a matter of makeup. However, the fact that AI has been implemented in the robot and this can interact and Adapt to the environment in real time gives it another dimension full. Personally I have always had a perception of robots and very positive artificial intelligence, but even thus it is difficult to get the idea that these realistic humanoid robots driven by artificial intelligence will be so present. They have all the numbers to get it, but they are difficult for us to accept them without more. Technologically they are improving a lot, but that disturbing sensation does not disappear. In Xataka | We already have so many “humanoid” robots that it costs to differentiate some of the tros. This chart fixes it

They could be from the new Glyph rear of their next mobile, the Phone (3)

by

Just yesterday the British manufacturer returned to the fray with the Pokémon which will be linked to some of the mobile phones that it plans to launch this year. There are several possibilities and everything seems to indicate that they would be the Phone (3) and the (3a), and if anything has to modify or change Nothing is the back, precisely what seems to be drawn in some sketches that the British company has shared. If there is a manufacturer that likes to play with mystery with its imminent launches, this would be Nothing, and since it began its journey as a new mobile manufacturer, started posting images of insects to give clues about your next Phone (2) or the same Phone (2a) from last year. In that game he now finds himself publishing five images from his Instagram account in which you can see a series of sketches that draw part of the design concepts of some of the mobiles which he plans to launch this year. They can look like pieces of a puzzle or simply loose concepts that throw ideas about the change that must occur on the back of your mobile. And it is precisely that he received a lot of criticism with the Nothing Phone (2) when it was launched, since the back was very similar to Phone (1). These criticisms led me to play with another “Glyph” in the design of the next Telephone (2a) that he launched last year in Spain, so it is possible that those sketches made with erratic linesbut that draw shapes, be they part of the back of the next Phone (3) or (3a). Nothing’s sketches nothing The Free Android Of them there is an image that does not fit into the rest or in some way it cannot be related, and that is that they look like two boxes with an oval shadow that do not make it clear what they are referring to; which could be part of the rear with which it can move away from the design of previous mobile phones and thus powerfully draw attention again as it has done with many of its technological products. Be that as it may, mystery once again surrounds a Nothing Phone (3) mobile that was anticipated by Carl Pei himself at the beginning of the year in an email that he sent to his employees to make it clear that this year his commitment is going to be greater. In fact, he announced that Nothing was looking for capital to invest in the technology necessary to bring generative artificial intelligence to its new premium; and even more so when this time it wants to elevate the mobile phone category to catch up with those from Samsung, Apple and others. All five images are available from your account at instagram.
