iOS: This is why automatic updates arrive late

-

 One of the aspects that most distinguishes iOS from Android is undoubtedly the theme of updates . If for devices based on the Google operating system it is necessary to wait several weeks before a certain firmware is released for all products of the same family ( just follow the release of One UI 4.1 to notice it ), at Apple, things are very different, since all the company's smartphones are updated on the same day, at the same time, in all world markets. This, however, provided you manually search for the update .



AUTOMATIC UPDATES: DELAY IS REASONABLE

Yes, because things change if you do not constantly follow the release of iOS updates and instead choose to let the system automatically install the new updates . In this case , the timing changes considerably and it often happens that updates are not notified even for several weeks after their official release. Why this difference in treatment? To give a definitive answer to the question is Craig Federighi , who - as reported by MacRumors - addressed the issue in an email sent to a particularly curious user.


In short, Federighi explained that the automatic update system generally takes between 1 and 4 weeks to download and install the latest version of the operating system and that this speed is directly related to the feedback Apple has received from the early adopters who have installed. the latest iOS build manually. In this way it is possible to slow down the diffusion of the firmware in order to counteract the possible spread of some critical bug present within it and thus avoid affecting all the iOS devices in circulation.

In short, the automatic system also has the task of protecting less experienced users from potential problems and this means that manual installation of the latest build is not always recommended. So if you are not particularly interested in having the latest update installed at the time of release, perhaps it is better to let iOS do the operation independently.

India instructs VPN companies to collect and store data for five and hand over to the government.

 A new governmental order will require virtual private networks to store user data for a minimum of five years. This is new national directive of the country's IT emergency response team, called. Photo by Kevin Paster: Pexel This is a policy that is probably going to make life harder for VPN businesses and VPN users. CERT-in announced on Thursday that the VPN companies of the country will have to keep the names of the clients, the physical and IP addresses validated, the habits of use and other forms of personal information. If the customer cancels their subscription or deletes their account, their information will always be stored in the company's servers according to the directive. Those who fail to do so could face up to one year in prison under the applicable law cited in the new directive. The directive does not stop at VPN providers.Data centres and cloud-based providers are listed in the same provision. India has a long tradition of putting the heavy hand to online activ

Brutal crackdown by the government could not deter people from coming out of their homes and heading towards Islamabad

-
 The government’s crackdown on PTI workers and supporters made it clear that they have decided to stop PTI’s Independence March at all cost. News reports say more than 1,000 PTO workers and activists have been arrested.  The government has called in the Rangers to maintain law and order in Islamabad and other major cities of the country, including Karachi. All entrances and exits to and from Islamabad were shut down, as was traffic between Lahore and the Twin Cities. The government has also instructed transport companies not to offer buses, cars, or vans to PTI workers. The manner in which Shahbaz and its allies are using state apparatus to prevent people from participating in the march is not acceptable.  The #WeAreComingKaptaan hashtag tells us that brutal crackdown by the government could not deter people from coming out of their homes and heading towards Islamabad.  Look what this government is doing spreading broken glasses on the road.

Everything you need to know about DDR5

 DDR4 memory is found on most personal computers. The next generation memory standard is coming out. Computers users expect increased performance and optimal power consumption  in the new chips.  If we focus on raw data, the main changes include a reduction in the voltage from 1.2V to 1.1V, and the 8n prefetch buffer will be replaced by 16n prefetch buffers, i.e. 16 bits per hour will migrate from memory cells to the IO buffer, while performance will be scaled from 3.2 Gbps to 6.4 Gbps per I/O connection. We can expect increased performance as some memory makers  have managed to enhance JEDEC specifications for DDR4.  The design of the DDR5 memory modules is based on 288 needles. The application of DDR5 will requires a new platform.  The DIMM has been divided into two channels. A memory module offers two 32-bit channels, of which there will be twice 40 bits with ECC. Between 8 bytes to 16 bytes the minimum stroke length varies. Sense a module uses two channels, it means it can double t
