Addicted to your smartphone? Ironically, there is an app for that

For good reason, there is plenty of concern right now about the possible dangers of smartphone addiction, particularly among kids and teenagers. While we’re still pretty far away from conclusive findings or solutions, a new Android app called Siempo wants to help you kick the smartphone habit — or, at least, stop you wasting quite so much time staring at it.

To help with this mission, Siempo gives you a calmer home page to look at it, minus the flashy badged icons and attention-grabbing logos which are A/B tested to heck to get you tapping on them. Think of it as the equivalent of walking down a street in which none of the stores have fancy window displays to lure you in.

Siempo also gives you a bit more control over your notifications by allowing you to receive alerts every half an hour, hour, or even every day. That means you’re no longer constantly distracted from what you’re doing because someone happens to like your picture on Facebook or mention you in a tweet.

Speaking with Digital Trends, Siempo CEO Andrew Dunn described the app as, “more than just a self-control app — it’s a whole new smartphone interface designed to prevent unconscious usage and promote intentionality. Siempo [is] the first step towards creating a single wellness filter across all devices that is on the user’s side, protecting their attention and promoting well-being.”

If the Siempo name sounds faintly familiar, it’s because we actually covered it last year when it was a Kickstarter campaign with the goal of launching an actual physical distraction-free smartphone. Unfortunately, it failed to raise enough funds to move forward, but the creators were convinced they were nonetheless onto something.

“The Kickstarter campaign generated a lot of buzz but ultimately not enough sales to give us the confidence we needed to move forward with manufacturers,” Dunn said. “We were very early to the game and underestimated both the switching costs and variance in personal preference for ‘must have’ apps. A couple weeks into the campaign, it was hard to ignore the drumbeat of potential backers asking for a launcher version which would allow them to simulate 95 percent of the Siempo experience on their existing devices.”

That, in the end, is what they have done. Right now, the app is available in beta in the Google Play Store. It’s free during the beta, although it may well move to a subscription model in the near future. An iOS version is also possibly in the works.

Intel Discloses New ‘Variant 4’ Spectre-Like Vulnerability

Intel, Google, and Microsoft today disclosed a new variant of the Spectre design flaw and security vulnerability that impacts millions of computers and mobile devices from a range of manufacturers.

Called Variant 4, or the Speculative Store Bypass, the vulnerability is similar to Spectre, taking advantage of the speculative execution mechanism of a CPU to allow hackers to gain access to sensitive information. Variant 4 was demonstrated by researchers in a language-based runtime environment.

CVE-2018-3639 – Speculative Store Bypass (SSB) – also known as Variant 4

Systems with microprocessors utilizing speculative execution and speculative execution of memory reads before the addresses of all prior memory writes are known may allow unauthorized disclosure of information to an attacker with local user access via a side-channel analysis.

According to Intel, the new vulnerability has a “moderate” severity rating because many of the exploits that it uses have already been addressed through mitigations that were first introduced by software makers and OEMs in January for Meltdown and Spectre. Intel is, however, releasing a full mitigation option that will “prevent this method from being used in other ways.”

This additional mitigation for Variant 4 has been delivered in beta form to OEM system manufacturers and system software vendors, and Intel is leaving it up to its partners to decide whether or not to implement the extra measures. Intel plans to leave the mitigation set to off by default because of the potential for performance issues.

This mitigation will be set to off-by-default, providing customers the choice of whether to enable it. We expect most industry software partners will likewise use the default-off option. In this configuration, we have observed no performance impact. If enabled, we’ve observed a performance impact of approximately 2 to 8 percent based on overall scores for benchmarks like SYSmark(R) 2014 SE and SPEC integer rate on client1 and server2 test systems.

The Spectre and Meltdown family of vulnerabilities affect all modern processors from Intel, ARM, and AMD, but Intel has faced more scrutiny over the design flaw due to its high-profile position in the processor market. Apple’s iOS and Mac devices are affected by these vulnerabilities, but Apple has historically been quick to patch them.

Prior to when Spectre and Meltdown were initially discovered, for example, Apple had already implemented some patches and has since addressed known Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities with little impact to performance on Macs or iOS devices. As mentioned above, many of the exploits in Variant 4 have been previously addressed by Apple and other manufacturers in already-existing software patches.

Spectre and Meltdown-related vulnerabilities are hardware-based and therefore must be mitigated rather than outright fixed, but future Intel chips will not be as vulnerable. Intel has said that its next-generation Xeon Scalable processors (Cascade Lake) and its 8th-generation Intel Core processors will feature redesigned components to protect against some Spectre and Meltdown flaws.

Udoq Charging Dock System Review – The best engineered base for mobile devices

Tech crazed individuals, such as ourselves, greatly benefit from charging stations. They’re a nifty solution to clean up our potential of a rats-nest clutter of charging wires. But as we gander through our options, we notice a common trend: a lack of finesse. No one has really developed a dock that is more than just a box with slots and power ports. That is, until Udoq came by.

This startup imagined more for a charging station, one that will not only look good on a tabletop, but that provides unheard-of flexibility. But naturally, this kind of premium solution comes at a…premium. Let’s investigate if the Udoq is worth the investment.

The size of the Udoq 400 should comfortably fit four devices.

Design

The Udoq options and sample configurations.

The Udoq is unlike any other dock you’ve seen. In profile, it looks like a standard stand, but in practice, it goes beyond that. The first thing we need to relay is that the device is highly customizable. You buy it the way that will specifically work for your mobile device inventory. Udoq’s solution for this is by offering the dock in four different widths: Udoq 250, 400, 550, or 700. The model numbering represents the length in millimeters.

Recognizing that you may be unsure of which size to opt for, the company has this nifty “configurator” on its website. They’ve logged dimensions for most mobile devices out there, and you can virtually add the ones you have and see how much space they’ll take up (therein, which is the dock size you need).

Udoq’s configurator helps you figure out which model you need.

That takes us to the price. For just the stand themselves, the starting Udoq 250 model goes for $89, all the way to the $159 Udoq 700. This is pretty steep for a dock (bear in mind these prices don’t include the charging equipment you’ll need to add on next). But Udoq sees this device as a life-lasting investment, rather than those much cheaper, plastic charging stations that may fall apart or cease to work. An advantage of the independent charging accessories is that if they fail, you don’t have to replace the entire dock, just the failed bits.

How the Udoq charging works is that the ports come up from the cylindrical base where the mobile devices sit, and the wires expel the rear.

Our review unit comes with a rear compartment and charging block that consolidates the charging wires. But note that these are extras.

Everything very snugly fits into the compartment. Close the lid and enjoy a single wire setup.

This makes for a very clean look from the front, and the devices are in an organized, lined-up arrangement when placed. Note that the dock takes up a narrow area on a tabletop, but its length can get overbearing with the longer models. This can be seen as a downside of this side-by-side design, as opposed to the stacked design of some other charging stations. In turn, a benefit is that you can still interact with any of the devices without picking them up. It’s also important to know that you cannot adjust the angle of the back plate; the dock is rigidly constructed. Udoq believes that its 77-degree tilt is the perfect and only angle you’ll need. It’s fine for us, but we’d still like the choice.

Udoq offers an option to adhere a box compartment on the back to further clean things up. With our model, it has included a 4-USB RAVPower charging brick, which all fits in the compartment (cables and all), and the result is simply a single wire that you plug into the wall. Very nice.

Function

A pair of rubber linings on the back plate keeps the metal from scratching your devices.

The function of a normal charging dock is simply assessed – just place the mobile devices and see if it works. Things aren’t that simple with the Udoq. The company sought to make the charging dock more efficient and comprehensively flexible for different situations.

There are solutions out there that get around the different charging standards (i.e. if it’s Apple or Android, or micro-USB or USB-C) by just simply lining their dock with USB-A ports. You use whatever charging cable standard you want, and voila.

This method wasn’t good enough for Udoq, because you’ll still see a series of wires. The company’s solution was to design the dock with complete connector flexibility. At the foot of the dock is a barrel section that houses the connectors. Each connector can slide to any position, allowing the system to accommodate different mobile device sizes (from smartphones to tablets).

A cool thing is that you can pop off either of the ends and completely remove the connectors and their cables. This exemplifies Udoq’s goal of flexibility. The feature lets you choose the specific set of connectors that works for your setup. Additionally, you can tack on more connectors if you add another device in the future (assuming the dock isn’t already filled up), or replace a connector standard if you upgrade to a new mobile device with a different one.

The USB-C connector module removed.

It also allows you to control how your device(s) faces when plugged in. This doesn’t matter for the newer reversible standards like USB-C, but if you’re still on micro-USB, simply pull the connector out and reverse it if needed.

A drawback to achieving this design is that the connectors have to be proprietary. They must be housed in a cylindrical module in order to work. So you must buy the cables from Udoq, which aren’t the most cost-effective. Granted, they’re quality cables, but you’re going to be paying a pretty penny when things are all said and done.

That’s not all. Udoq thought of a couple more considerate features. The connector housing lets the user change the seating height of the jack. So you can correct the mobile device’s seating on the dock if it’s too high. Udoq also addressed the fact that not all devices have a centered charging port. The device could still be placed in the dock, but it would flop on one side. Hence, pre-installed is a little resting plate that is adjustable by height and can slide to any position, just like the connectors.

The Xperia Z3 is one such device that has a unique charging port placement. This is how the Udoq handles such a case.

Final Thoughts

We appreciate how Udoq went all out with their vision of the best dock possible. It’s the most premium, cleanest, and flexible dock out there. The company has also thoughtfully addressed things that could’ve been a flaw in the design.

The elephant in the room is the price, though, which we imagine will be too much to ask for by many people. For instance, if you opt for the dock and connectors we have – Udoq 400 with each of the four connectors available: micro-USB, USB-C, Apple 30-pin, and Lightning – you’ll be at a total of $176. And this isn’t counting the cable/charger box on the rear or 4-USB charger that we have shown, which aren’t standard. Our review unit is probably $200 or more; this is a lot for a charging dock. Sure, it’s a very nice dock, but it’s ultimately still a dock.

It’ll be up to you if that’s worth it. Fortunately, the stand should last forever, that is, assuming that your future collect of devices doesn’t overlap the size you’ve chosen.

Apple’s Clips App for iOS Gains New Soccer Graphics, Poster and Label

Apple today updated its Clips video app for iOS devices to introduce new soccer assets ahead of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, set to kick off in Russia on June 14.

Apple has added new soccer graphics that can be added to video clips, and there’s a new soccer label and a soccer-related background poster that includes customizable text elements.

Today’s Clips update comes several months after the launch of Clips 2.0, a new version of the app that introduced 360-degree selfie scenes, a feature limited to the iPhone X and its TrueDepth camera.

Clips, for those unfamiliar with the app, is a video editing app designed to allow users to combine several video clips, images, and photos with voice-based titles, music, filters, and graphics to create enhanced videos that can be shared on social media sites.

Clips can be downloaded from the App Store for free. [Direct Link]

Huawei sweetens the MateBook X Pro’s U.S. launch deal with gift card offer

Bill Roberson/Digital Trends

Huawei’s privacy-focused flagship MateBook X Pro laptop is now available for purchase by consumers in the U.S. Starting at $1,199, the MateBook X Pro is a great value, given the higher European launch prices, but Huawei is also sweetening the deal for American customers with a bundle. In addition to the free one-year Office 365 personal subscription and a MateDock 2 accessory bundle, there’s also a promotional gift card deal for up to $300 if the laptop is purchased before June 10. The gift card would be issued by the retailer and is good for use toward a future purchase.

The MateBook X Pro comes with a pop-up webcam that’s carefully concealed and stowed in a key on the keyboard deck when not in use. This design change allowed Huawei to drastically slim down the bezels around the device’s 13.9-inch screen, giving the notebook a 91 percent screen-to-body ratio. Another benefit with moving the webcam is that it can be hidden when not in use, alleviating privacy concerns about the webcam being remotely activated by malicious software.

At $1,199, the MateBook X Pro comes with the latest 8th Generation Intel Core i5 prcoessor, 8GB RAM, and 256GB solid-state storage inside a footprint that measures just 14.6mm thick. Upgrading to the higher $1,499 configuration will give you a better Intel Core i7 processor along with discrete Nvidia GeForce MX150 graphics. The higher-priced model also comes with double the memory and storage, giving it 16GB RAM and a 512GB solid-state drive. Both configurations come with a single USB Type-C port, legacy USB Type-A port, Thunderbolt 3 over USB Type-C port, and 3.5mm headphone jack. A fingerprint reader that works with Windows Hello on Windows 10 is integrated into the power button, like Huawei’s previous MateBook X notebook.

With the included MateDock 2 USB Type-C dongle, you can convert the USB Type-C port on the MateBook X to accommodate an additional USB Type-A port along with USB Type-C port for pass-through charging or to connect another USB Type-C accessory, HDMI, and VGA connectors. At the time of writing, Newegg is offering a promotional $150 gift card, and Amazon is offering $300; Microsoft makes no mention of a gift card bonus on its website, but the Windows 10 maker does offer special education and military discounts if you qualify. Given that the laptop just launched in the U.S., shipping times may vary between retailers.

If ‘Rock ’Em Sock ’Em Robots’ debuted today, they’d probably look like this

OK, so here in 2018, we have Roomba vacuum cleaners and a plethora of other useful robots in our homes. But how about a 21st-century update of the Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots — only with real robots in place of the inanimate high-impact polystyrene plastic figurines? If you have been dreaming of a real life, desktop metallic Conor McGregor, you may be interested in a new fighting robot created by robotics designers in Taiwan. Carrying the name Super Anthony, the smartphone-controlled “beetleweight fighting robot” stands a whopping 15-inches high, weighs 4.6 pounds, and boasts an assortment of martial arts moves.

“Compared with other fighting robots of the same weight level, it has an unparalleled 45 kg per servo force punch,” designer Hu Che-Wei told Digital Trends. “It just won the silver medal for robot demonstration and bronze medal for kung-fu in RoboGames 2018, which is the largest robot competition in the U.S. With Super Anthony, you will be self-motivated to learn programming, engineering, and problem-solving skills. We hope this master fighter can accompany and inspire more people to be involved with robotics.”

Super Anthony is highly customizable, offering users to ability to design “their own killer moves to guarantee victories” in fights against other robots. It includes image recognition, GPS, and voice control capabilities, which can be controlled using a connected app. However, you can also use him straight out of the box; no programming required.

“Fighting robots are many people’s childhood dream,” Che-Wei continued. “[But] most people didn’t think about carrying it out as they grew up. It’s a pity! We want to show that it’s not difficult to do robot battles at home. Super Anthony already comes with various built-in moves and attacks. He can be controlled with a wireless controller — which will come with the package — or your phone via Bluetooth.”

As ever, we offer our usual warnings about the risks of pledging crowdfunding campaigns, which have no guarantee of delivering as promised. If you have your heart set on picking up a Super Anthony, though, you can pledge your support over on the project’s Kickstarter page. A Super Anthony robot, joystick, and accessories pack will set you back $1,299. Shipping is set to take place in November. That is just in time for Thanksgiving so you can settle any family beefs with a good, old-fashioned robot duel!

How to fix sound problems in Windows 10

Whenever people update to the latest version of Windows 10 they find a lot to appreciate. Unfortunately, big updates can also bring with them new problems and some of the most common, are audio related. Those issues can leave people unable to play videos, use certain apps, or hear anything at all from their speakers.

That’s not fun, especially when learning your way around the OS’ new features, so let’s do some troubleshooting. Here are the ways you can fix Windows 10 audio issues to remove the dreaded sound of silence.

Check your output device

If you don’t have any sound at all, it could be something as simple as Windows trying to output sound to an old device, like some headphones you forgot are plugged in, or a bluetooth speaker that’s just not turned on right now. To make sure Windows is trying to send sound to the right device, you need to check your output.

Step 1: Click the small up arrow in the bottom right hand corner of your screen, next to the clock and calendar.

Step 2: Right-click the small speaker icon, and select “Open Sound Settings.”

Step 3: In the settings menu, look to the top-entry that reads, “Choose your output device.” Use the drop-down menu to make sure that your correct device is selected, whether that’s your speakers or a connected set of headphones. While you’re there, double check that the volume isn’t at zero either.

Google removes ‘don’t be evil, its famous catchphrase, from code of conduct

Google Office Strada

Google is no longer telling its employees not to be evil.

In a rather surprising move (or perhaps a sign that the world’s most seemingly perk-filled, laid-back workplace is going corporate), Google has removed its unofficial motto from its code of conduct. Previously, the company’s corporate code of conduct included this simple yet powerful edict: “Don’t be evil.” But now, that’s no longer the case. As Gizmodo reports, archives from the Wayback Machine, a digital archive, show that this turn of phrase was removed sometime either in late April or early May.

For nearly two decades, “Don’t be evil” has been the Google mantra. In 2015, when Google reorganized itself to be a part of parent company Alphabet, it created a slightly different version of the mantra — “do the right thing.” But Google held on to its previous “don’t be evil” slogan until sometime in the last month or so.

This wasn’t just a phrase that employees read once in their handbooks. Rather, the notion was deeply ingrained in the company’s culture — in fact, a version of the saying apparently served as the Wi-Fi password on Google shuttles used in the Bay Area.

As of April 21, 2018, the code of conduct still kept the same phrasing. “‘Don’t be evil.’ Googlers generally apply those words to how we serve our users,” the code read. “But ‘don’t be evil’ is much more than that. Yes, it’s about providing our users unbiased access to information, focusing on their needs, and giving them the best products and services that we can. But it’s also about doing the right thing more generally — following the law, acting honorably, and treating co-workers with courtesy and respect.”

Google also emphasized that its actions and the actions of its employees would and should be “measured against the highest possible standards of ethical business conduct.”

But now, the code reads a bit differently. “Don’t be evil” is gone altogether, and instead, Google writes: “The Google Code of Conduct is one of the ways we put Google’s values into practice. It’s built around the recognition that everything we do in connection with our work at Google will be, and should be, measured against the highest possible standards of ethical business conduct.”

Curiously enough, the company’s code of conduct says that it hasn’t been updated since April 5, 2018, which seems to be incorrect given these rather obvious changes.

The timing of the change comes at a rather interesting point in Google’s history. A number of employees have recently left the company following its controversial decision to remain involved in the Pentagon’s secret Project Maven, noting that they could no longer work for a company that did not share their values. We’ll update you with any statements from Google on the new code of conduct.
