Whatsapp END support for these phone

The official end date for the support for these versions will be on 1st February 2020. This means that WhatsApp users that fail to update their phone’s system version might have their services cut after the specified date.

WhatsApp is the world’s most popular messaging platform, boasting 1.5 billion regular users. The free app is one of the most secure available, due to the incorporation of end-to-end encryption. And another reason for WhatsApp's enduring popularity is the regular introduction of new features, such as stickers and group calls.

The Facebook owned  platform claimed it was initiating this move simply because older mobile operating system no longer support the kind of features and capabilities they tend to include in the messaging application.

Here are some prominent phones that WhatsApp will cease their support on:

1. iPhone 4

2. Google Nexus S

3. Samsung Galaxy S

4. Samsung Google Nexus S

5. Lumia 650

6. Nokia 206 Single SIM and dual SIM models

7. Nokia 208

8. Nokia 301 Single SIM and dual SIM Chat Edition

9. Nokia 515 Preinstalled WhatsApp New

10. Nokia Asha 201

11. Nokia Asha 205 Chat Edition

12. Nokia Asha 210

13. Nokia Asha 230 Single SIM and dual SIM models

14. Nokia Asha 300

15. Nokia Asha 302

16 Nokia Asha 303

17 Nokia Asha 305

18 Nokia Asha 306

19 Nokia Asha 308

WhatsApp originally announced the news back in 2016 with a range of devices including BlackBerry, Windows phone and some Apple iPhones to be blocked later that year.

But the deadline was then extended for phones running Apple's iOS 7 and Android versions 2.3.7, and these will now support WhatsApp until February 1, 2020.

It should be noted that all windows phones will also cease to receive support for their WhatsApp app. To put it simply: no matter how new your windows phone is, the messaging app will no longer support it. While iPhones is pretty straight forward with which phone will no be receiving support, Android and its open source is a bit tricky.

Below is the list of mobile platforms that will no longer be supported at the beginning of 2017

• Android : Android 2.1 and 2.2
• Windows : Windows Phone 7
• iPhone: 3GS/ iOS 6

Support for Windows 7 ENDS!! NOW what to DO??!!

Windows 7 support ends in January. Here’s how you can upgrade to Windows 10 for free

Microsoft announced that it will end support for Windows 7 starting from on January 14, 2020. In a post on Microsoft Support web page, they revealed that Windows 7, which was released on October 22, 2009, will see Microsoft discontinue its support so that they can focus on supporting newer technologies and creating better experiences.

Revealing the “specific end of support day for Windows 7” to be January 14, 2020, Microsoft said that technical assistance and software updates from Windows Update that help protect your PC will no longer be available for the product.

The tech giant recommended that users move to Windows 10 sometime before January 2020 so that they do not suffer from non-availability of support for Windows 7.

The company said that if people continue to use their PC running Windows and without continued software and security updates “it will be at greater risk for viruses and malware.”

While there was a promotional free upgrade offer available when Windows 10 had first released, that offer expired on July 29, 2016. However, that does not mean that one cannot get Windows 10 for free.

Microsoft does not talk about the Windows 10 free upgrade anymore, instead urging users to purchase the new version, those with legitimate Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 licences could be upgraded to Windows 10 for free using the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool, reported Bleeping Computer.

The report reveals that to get Windows 10, one has to download and run Media Creation Tool on Windows 7/8/8.1 and upgrade the PC to Windows 10.

Here’s how you can upgrade to Windows 10 for free

-- Visit the Windows 10 download page.

-- Once there, click ‘Download Tool now’ button and download the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool.

-- Open the Media Creation Tool and accept the licenCe terms.

-- Following this, select, ‘Upgrade this PC now’ option and click Next.

-- The tool prompts the user to either keep everything or start from scratch. Select ‘Keep personal files and apps’ and then click ‘Continue’.

-- Once you click on the Install button, Windows 10 will begin to be installed. The process requires a bit of time and will see the computer start numerous times.

After Windows 10 is finished installing, users need to connect to the internet and open Settings > Windows Update > Activation and the PC will be activated with a digital licence.

Users can also enter the Windows 7 or Windows 8 and 8.1 product key and activate Windows 10 if the device is not already activated.

iOS 13 hidden features

Apple unveils new iPhones every year, but with them comes something much more exciting: a new version of Cupertino's mobile operating system that powers its new devices and adds features to older iOS devices; iOS 13 works on all iPhones back to the 6s and SE.
There are lots of cool new things in iOS 13, many announced by Apple at its Worldwide Developer Conference. That includes dark mode (finally), the ability to sign in with Apple using anonymized email addresses, enhanced video editing, audio sharing on AirPods, and revamped apps and abilities for Reminders, Apple Maps, Mail, Memoji, and Siri Shortcuts.
But what about the new stuff in iOS 13 that Apple has barely talked? We've uncovered several tricks all iOS power-users will want to know.

Multitask With Apple CarPlay

If you're using Apple CarPlay, iOS 13 adds a new look to the dashboard interface, including dark mode, so your in-car display mimics the settings you selected in Settings > Display & Brightness > Appearance.

The dash can also now show info from more than one app. It'll default to showing your location on Apple Maps (even if you prefer Waze or Google Maps for navigation), with a button to instantly turn on GPS directions to get home, buttons for appropriate devices like a smart home garage door opener, and a smaller tile for stopping/starting audio.

That means no more switching apps to stop music while you navigate. Plus, you can see album art thumbnails with music from supported music-streaming services, including Apple Music, Spotify, Pandora, Amazon Music, even Audible.

The interfaces for phone and messages are also updated. And you can view your day's appointments (and only that day's appointments) in the Calendar app. Best of all: if someone else uses your phone while it's connected to CarPlay, the app they launch no longer takes over the dashboard. So kids fighting for music control on your phone doesn't have to interrupt navigation anymore.

Don't Charge to 100 Percent Until Dawn

You're not going to overload your iPhone battery by charging it all night as you sleep, but it doesn't take long for it to get to 100 percent. And there's no reason for the phone to trickle-charge all night after that. Apple's solution: go to Settings > Battery > Battery Health and turn on Optimized Battery Charging. It learns how you charge and will set up a routine of charging your phone only to 80 percent until the time right before it knows you'll wake, at which point it'll up it to 100.

Use 3 Fingers to Undo

I like to think no one uses the "shake to undo" option on an iPhone, because it could theoretically undo so much. (You can and should turn it off in Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Shake to Undo.) Now iOS 13 has a better way: Double tap three fingers to undo. You may also triple finger swipe left for the same effect, then triple finger to the right to redo it.

Drag the Cursor All Around

There have always been ways to move the cursor around in iOS to start typing in a new spot. The best used to be holding down the space bar on the virtual keyboard until it became a sort of virtual trackpad. iOS 13 still supports that, but does it one better: simply touch the cursor and drag it wherever you like.

You can also tap in a word on screen to drop the cursor right in the middle of the letters, something that was impossible in previous versions of iOS.

Swipe-Type on Apple's Keyboard

Not that you need this, as it's available on almost every other third-party iPhone keyboard, but if you only use Apple's built-in keyboard, it now supports what's called QuickPath, which is a fancy name for swipe-based typing. Never lift a finger again to scrawl out a message. It's especially nice on an iPad (with the new iPadOS) where you can shrink the keyboard down to iPhone size and swipe around.

More Emoji Goodies

With iOS 13, you can add to your own custom Memoji face (like braces!), and there are three new Animoji you can manipulate with your face, including a cow, mouse, and octopus.

More interesting are the Memoji sticker packs. Much like the third-party Bitmoji, the stickers take your personalized face and give it an assortment of poses that show things like mind blown, thumbs up, sleeping, peace sign, swearing, hearts in the eyes, etc.—you know, all the things you do with regular emoji, but now with more you. You can also use them with the Animoji, so that octopus can give a thumbs up. Well, sort of, since it has no thumbs.

Send Unknown Callers Directly to Voicemail

If you never, ever want to take a call from anyone who isn't in your contacts list—especially the army of robocallers that won't leave any of us alone—this is a brute-force option you'll adore.

Go to Settings > Phone and turn on Silence Unknown Callers. You'll see the warning below it that "Calls from unknown numbers will be silenced, sent to voicemail, and displayed on the Recents list." You'll only hear a ring now if the caller is in your contacts, or was a recent outgoing call, or pops up in your Siri Suggestions (like if Siri saw the number in your email).

It's a shame that robocallers even get to go to your voicemail, to be honest, but this is a good way to ignore a lot of incoming nonsense. If you've got to keep your line open to unknown callers, you should really be using a secondary number via a second SIM card or VoIP burner account.

Let Special People Through the DND Wall

Do Not Disturb is a great way to temporarily silence distracting notifications, but iOS makes it easy to allow certain groups of people to contact you no matter what. For example, in Settings > Do Not Disturb > Phone, you can Allow Calls from your Favorites or a group preset from your contacts.

But if there's an individual who isn't in a group and you want to give them complete access to you, do it: Find their listing in Contacts and click Edit at the top right. On the edit page for that person, click either their Ringtone or Text Tone entry. Up top, you'll find Emergency Bypass, which "allows sounds and vibrations from the person even when Do Not Disturb is on." Pick a nice quiet ringtone if you do this—you're giving that contact a lot of leeway to call you even in the dead of night.

Change Settings Per Webpage

It used to be that with Safari, you changed features like font size and it applied to every site you visited in that browser. Now, settings are per-website, so you can have big type on one site, and smaller type on another.

You can also set Safari to always show the desktop version of a particular site, rather than the optimized-for-mobile page. Or set some pages to override your installed ad-blocker (like PCMag, perhaps) or automatically get fed through the Safari's Reader function (pictured), which strips out the extraneous stuff on supported sites.

Quick Connect to Wireless

If you're tired of having to go into Settings to get on a new Wi-Fi network or connect to a Bluetooth device, here's a slightly faster way. Open the Control Center and do a long hold on the connection box displaying the icons for Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Cellular and Airplane Mode.

The pop-up you now get offers even more things to long-press—long-press the Wi-Fi icon and you'll get an instant list of visible wireless networks. Long-press the Bluetooth icon, and it brings up your existing list of connectable devices, so you can quickly jump on. It even works to quick-change AirDrop settings, so you could turn off receiving entirely, or switch between using it with everyone or contacts only.

NASA Hacked

You know that hackers can easily hack any device which is vulnerable to security threats like having a password of birth date, combination of 2 or more phone numbers.

In short I want to say that its entirely upto the person to stay secure from cyber attacks/hacks.

In India the bank account hacking is the most common news 

but what if should say that NASA is hacked. 

Well its not the first time the NASA got hacked, many youngsters of 20 years of ages hacked the NASA they even shutdown the NASA but its the old news

But if I talked about today modern day technology, According to reports NASA is hacked by a raspberry pie computer worth 35$(Rs 2623.75 Indian rupees)

Yes, you've read it right the NASA is hacked by a raspberry pie worth 35$. 

Raspberry pie is a credit card size computer and can be powered by a power bank and has memory card as memory this computer is mainly made for the countries where people can't afford the full size computer but have a interest about computers or want to learn programming. 

NASA has a laboratory JPL(Jet Propulsion Laboratory) where communication b/w the rockets that goes in space is operated here.

Hackers connect a raspberry pie to computer in JPL and steal 23 files of size worth 500 MB.

Hackers even move to DSN(Deep Space Network). DSN is responsible for the communication between the spacecrafts that go in space and also for the data sharing between these spacecrafts and hackers stole some secrets files from this network.

International array of Telescope responsible for tracking the spacecrafts and all the information gather about space till now.

The hackers hack this network and when NASA know about the data breach they fix it and take other security measures.

Its still unknown who are these hackers what will they do with the data they stole from NASA.

That's for all today. And thanks for reading. See you in next blog

Google Maps 'DAMGEROUS' ?? REALLY!!

With thousands of new fake accounts being added every month, Google Maps is flooded by about 11 million false listings and phone numbers that reroute to competing businesses. 

The majority of businesses that are not at their listed locations and the ones most prone to these scams include contractors, repairmen and car towing services, The Verge reported citing a study by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on Thursday.They're internally referred to as 'duress verticals' at Google, as they are companies people turn to in emergencies and typically without much time to verify the business' credibility.Though Google claims in a self-funded 2017 academic study that only 0.5 per cent of local searches are false listings, a separate investigation by the WSJ suggested otherwise.

The study found 13 of the top 20 Google search results listed false addresses and only two were real businesses that actually adhered to Google guidelines.

Though Google typically verifies if a business is legitimate by mailing a postcard, calling or emailing a numerical code to enter into a Google website, the system is easy enough for scammers to bypass with fake addresses and phone numbers, affecting real businesses as well as customers, the report added.

The report comes a day after the search engine giant announced that it is giving businesses more options to customize their company profiles on search and Maps through its My Business feature.

The company says it is working on new ways to report suspicious business profiles and directed people to report fraudulent activity on its Business Redressal Complaint Form.
