Instagram grow up – More than 1 billion active users

Instagram said on July that it now has more than 1 billion active users, as it has revealed a new long-format video feature in an attempt to attract “Creators” like those on YouTube. It becomes the fourth platform of Facebook to reach the brand of billions of users, including the social network of the same name with more than 2 billion users, and messaging applications WhatsApp and Messenger. Instagram, who had about 800 million users since September, surpassed rival social networks like Twitter and Snapchat and was gaining younger users, although Facebook has seen declines in the youth segment.

The executive Director of Instagram, Kevin Systrom, announced the milestone in revealing the new video application known as IGTV. “We now have a community of 1 billion users,” Systrom said to the event in San Francisco. “Since our launch in 2010, we have looked in amazement at how the community has flourished and grown. “As Facebook has moved deeper into the video, Instagram will become a direct competitor to YouTube with IGTV.

IGTV will allow any user to upload long-form videos and also include “video channels ” “creators “, similar to a Google-owned format used by YouTube that led to a series of “stars ” from YouTube. “Anyone can be a creator-you can upload your own IGTV videos to app or Web to start your own channel ” Systrom said.

Built for Smartphones

Systrom said IGTV is built to be used on a smartphone, and increases the time for videos from the previous limit of one minute. “The way we’re watching the video is changing,” Systrom told the event. He added that IGTV is “Built for the way they actually use the phone, so the videos are full screen and vertical “. The launch comes amid a change in video viewing habits away from traditional television to online platforms, including Netflix and Hulu, and with more people watching both professional content and users on services like YouTube .

According to the research company e-marketer, 181.7 million Americans will see video content on their smartphones at least once a month this year, 6.1 percent for over a year. Product Manager Ashley Yuki said the event that IGTV “is a platform open from the first day, so that everyone can become a creator “. For deploying IOS and Android applications, IGTV will allow any user to upload video up to 10 minutes long, with the limit for larger accounts at one hour. Systrom described the new app as “a separate space, a space dedicated to enjoy video without being distracted “.

Facebook acquired Instagram in April 2012 for a combination of cash and shares worth about $1 billion at the time. Since then he has become a strong growth engineer for Facebook in terms of users and ad revenue. While Facebook does not offer any detailed revenue breakdown, e-marketer estimates that Instagram will generate $5.48 billion in net revenues from US ads this year, 70.4 percent compared to last year and counting for more than a quarter some of Net revenues of Facebook Mobile ads. Facebook is also increasing its video offerings with original shows and this week announced new formats, including interactive game programs, questionnaires and polls.

Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio ultimate performance

Launched last year as model 2018, the Alfa Romeo Stelvio can be a bit latecomer to the SUV and crossover segment, but, however, proved to be worth the wait, and especially so on top of the four-leaf dog costume. The Alfa Romeo Gambit in high performance or the “Super” End of the SUV segment, the Quadrifoglio is an object so that a high-ride four-wheeled vehicle can become a “sporty” vehicle. Not only a straight performer, the agile and committed management of Stelvio Quadrifoglio allows you to more effectively distribute your power on the road and through the winding roads.

Elegant and anxious

The reinterpretation of the iconic legacy of the Italian motor vehicle of 108 years of a modern Super SUV, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio bears the name of the Stelvio Step Mountain Stage of the historic Mille Miglia Race, and the traditional brand Four-Leaf Clover Racing Charm Luck as emblem. Lighter and with better specific power and weight power than the main competitors such as the Mercedes-AMG GLC63 and the Porsche Macan Turbo, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio has also released the world’s fastest 7 minutes, 51.7-Second SUV lap time in the benchmark Circuit of the Nurburgring of Nordschleife, last September, and a year after his sister super Saloon Giulia Quadrifoglio.

An elegant, practical and fast Super SUV that combines pure power and devastating effects management capabilities, the design of Stelvio Quadrifoglio is meanwhile elegantly curved and urgently sporty without being openly brutal or aggressive. Tense, protruding and anxious for subtle curvatures, sharp lines, sporting details and a flowing roof, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio sits with an athletic impulse and presents the rear cabin and the libertine tailgate with prominent rear spoiler. The front views are dominated by their honeycomb grille as a shield, slender LED eyebrow headlights and the main hunger and Gill-like side shots. Other insinuating details in its amazing performance include Big hole drain pipe patio and large leagues staggered.

Responsive and urgent

Under its long vents and bonnet, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio is powered by the Alfa Romeo engine, developed by Ferrari, Twin Turbo 2.9 liter V6. Producing BHP 503in 6500rpm and 443lb/ft along a broadband and accessible 2500-5000rpm, the Stelvio Qudrifoglio is willing to low-end, versatile in the medium range and fiercely anxious towards its limit 7400rpm. Wide, versatile and charismatic the Stelvio Quadrifoglio is, unlike many turbo engines, both urgently high acceleration but sensitive to the minimum fast spooling of the speed engine. Thanks to two simple Turbo moving, placed between the banks of the cylinder for short circuits gasflow and the anxious response of arrest, the intermediate range of Stelvio Quadrifoglio is, in the meantime, inexorably abundant.

With four-wheel drive traction, 45R20 285/40r20 Wide front and rear tyres, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio, supercar-like, stops at 100 km/h in only 3.8-seconds, and is capable of a maximum of 283km/h. Grumpy and growling, the stilt-leaf of the Stelvio is viscerally fast moving, with a broad and muscular mid-range of the Torque band’s subscription to an urgently progressive energy accumulation. Driving through a slippery, fast and smooth 8-speed automatic gearbox, the four-leaf sprocket changes, however, becomes agile, quicker and concise when in dynamic driving mode or race, during which throttle response, firmness Shock absorber and note extractor adopt a more sporty and more focused profile.

Rear wheel drive By default for efficiency, handling and agility, the integral traction system of the Stelvio Quadrifoglio, however, reapportions variable up to 50 percent power to the front wheels when they are Additional traction and grip required. Meanwhile, a limited-slip electronic differential distributes power from one side to the other along the rear axle for agility and even more traction. The result is a machine that comes neatly in the corners, is balanced and compromised along and comes out with claw-like hold the road as it puts the energy to the asphalt with the maximum effect. Meanwhile, the large 350mm caliper’s front disc piston 6 and 350mm, 4 rear brake pistons proved tirelessly and effectively capable.

Guided by the large and historical Balocco of Alfa Romeo, the Stelvio Quadrifoglio has been particularly skilled in the demanding circuit of the Langhe, narrow, winding and fast. Precise and anxious to become angles, the Stilfleaf’s agility is aided by selective brake carriers.

The direction is meanwhile accurate, fast, well-charged and communicative for an SUV, otherwise as a gradient sensation as the lightest, rear-driven Giulia Qudrifoglio Salon. Agile, tidy and buttoned through the Langhe, the Quadrifoglio could be led to kick its wide tail in Race mode. But to avoid understeer, tighter, flatter angles are better taken by rotating the weight back and forth.

Seated, sporty and spacious

Seated and entrusted through the high heights of the Langhe, fast straights and zigzags, including corners abruptly dipped immediately followed by sharp slopes, the configuration of the masterful suspension of four-leaf clover and adaptive shock absorbers makes Feel like a smaller, lower and thinner machine. Superbly flat through the corners despite its driving height and weight 1830kg the lateral control of the Stelvio is tense, while the vertical control has remained seated and buttoned up in dives, ridges and bounces. Stable and refined at speed, both through winding paths and in high-speed straights, the sporting skills of the Stelvio simply deny their SUV designation and defy expectation.

Luxuriously sporty inside, the leather and carbon fibre cabin of the Stelvio Quadrifoglio presents an alert position, implying and versatile with driver-centric instrumentation, logical designs and well-adjustable steering wheel with part mounting in Aluminium pallet Change column. The seats are comfortable and supportive, while the optional carbon fiber backbone sports seats are lighter and provide more lateral support.

A practical SUV in terms of maneuverability, starting space and convenience and security systems, the Stelvio cabin was well packaged. Well complacent in general, the front and back height of the Stelvio was unexpectedly good for the taller riders, given its libertine roof. This was particularly so in the specification of the solar non-roof.

Powerful system with a bigger screen – Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme

If you liked the look, feel and light weight of the X1 carbon, but want a more powerful system with a bigger screen, the next Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Extreme could be your answer. Because in September for an output price of $1,859, the X1 Extreme offers a 15-inch screen that is up to 4k resolution, a CPU that climbs to core I9 and NVIDIA GTX 1050 ti dedicated graphics.

The Raven-Black mobile workstation weighs only 3.76 pounds with its base-level display, 1080p. This is about half a pound lighter than the Dell XPS 15 and a quarter of a pound less than the 15 MacBook Pro. This weight jumps up to 4.04 pounds when you choose the optional touch screen, 4k.

Considering the packing components inside, the X1 Extreme is only 0.72 inches thick. Although not as subtle as some competitors, it leaves room for two full-sized, USB-type-to-ports, dual-beam 3-port, an SD card reader and HDMI output.

We have not had the opportunity to test the 4k screen, but if it is something like the 2k HDR panel on the X1 Carbon, it will be one of the best screens on the market. Lenovo claims that, like the High-end carbon display, the Extreme panel will support Dolby Vision HDR and reach up to 400 brightness lice. It will also add touch capabilities, rather than displaying the carbon-HDR lacks. The default, the 1080p panel promises 300 brightness lice.

In addition to the high-end screen, the X1 Extreme Packs NVIDIA GTX 1050 TI graphics with 4GB of video memory. The GPU uses NVIDIA’s MAXQ technology, which allows it to run cooler and quieter (read: Less fan noise), but also limits performance a bit.

The system is powered by a 6-core, 45-watt Intel H Series processor. It will be available with Core i5, Core i7 and-over the year-core I9. The end also supports up to 64 GB of RAM.

The Lenovo laptop has room for two NVMe M. 2 storage units. You’ll be able to do this with two 1TB drives in a RAID 0 or RAID 1 Array, which is one feature we’ve seen mostly just on game laptops before.

Creative professionals and high end users who want the same svelte chassis as X1 Extreme, but need a NVIDIA Quadro professional card and the Intel Xeon CPU should look at the ThinkPad P1, which will start at $1,949.

How to Fix the Problem of VLC Not Showing Subtitles ?

A lot of VLC users may experience issues while playing video files with VLC and they quite often complained that VLC was unable to show the subtitles of the videos, even more, they can not discover solutions for the issues in lacking the general knowledge of VLC. Well, the factors behind the problems are different. If you have been also confused by such an issue, in this article, you will be provided with a lot of solutions to solve it with ease.

The primary reasons for the failure of showing subtitles on VLC media player fall to the following points. In the 1st place, the subtitles are not correctly encoded on your personal computer. In details, occasionally if the subtitles are not using the precise format or codec, such as UTF-8 text encoding, it will result in the failure of showing on VLC. Next, if you have not set the appropriate font in VLC, you may still not be able to play the subtitle in VLC then because the wrong font may not be compatible with player settings. Last of all, another probable reason for the problem that VLC subtitles not showing is that the subtitle files you have downloaded are damaged which can’t be accepted by VLC, and perhaps any other media players. Moreover, with respect to some reviews, it is said that the problem of VLC subtitles not showing is frequently seen with Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Arabic SRT subtitles. After acquiring the main three possible reasons for this issue, now we are going to fix the problems correctly.

Utf-8 is a multi-byte encoding used to solve international characters, which works by using 8 bits (one byte) for English and 24 bits (3 bytes) for Chinese. For BBS with more English characters, UTF-8 is used to save space. In addition, if foreigners visit your GBK web page, you will need to download Chinese language pack support. This does not occur when browsing pages encoded in UTF-8. It can be accessed directly. So, if the subtitles are encoded as UTF-8, in almost all cases, the subtitles can be simply accessed with. How to make absolutely sure the subtitles are encoded as UTF-8? Well, it is pretty easy for you to check whether the subtitles are encoded as UTF-8 or not. You can open the subtitle files in Notepad. If the Notepad can clearly identify the subtitles, usually they are encoded as UTF-8. If not, it is quite possible that they are not encoded in UTF-8. In this way, what you need to do is to use a third party file converter to transfer the file to UTF-8 format so that can be shown on VLC after that.

Some of you may be a bit confused about switching the subtitle font in VLC so as to activate the subtitles in VLC media player. Why can the font of the subtitles impact the showing matter? Well, just think about that if you have set the subtitles in very large font size, how can your VLC playing panel hold up to the large size of the font on the screen? If it is not suitable with such large-sized subtitles, then the subtitles will not be shown in the correct way in VLC media player. In such a case, you need to check the subtitles font and set them properly. How to use Unicode font in VLC? The setting ways are quite simple. You only need to open VLC media player and select “Tools” on the top menu column to choose “Preferences”. In the bottom left corner of the “Preferences” panel, you can see 2 options under “Show settings”: “Simple” and “All”. Then click “All” to show more preferences settings, including “Subtitles/OSD” item. Under it, you can set the specific font. Once you have set it properly, click “Save” to make it work correctly. Lastly, restart VLC and you can properly display all the subtitles in VLC.

According to the 3rd possible causes for the not showing issue in VLC, you need to check whether your subtitles have been broken. The most secure method for this problem is to download or set the subtitles on your pc once again to make sure all the subtitles are in correct order and can be completely compatible with VLC media players without any issues. Or, you can try to download another subtitle for the videos instead of downloading the same previous one because some virus or damage will be applied to the subtitles over the Internet.

How to put subtitles in VLC? How to open subtitles in VLC? The solutions to these two questions must be placed in front of another essential question. That is how to download subtitles and make sure the subtitles downloaded are in the proper order or conditions. After you have downloaded the correct subtitles, you can simply just click “Add Subtitle File” under the “Subtitle” option on the top menu of VLC media player to import the subtitles to VLC. After that, you can take pleasure in the video files with subtitles efficiently.

Create strong password – password generator software

Creating un-hackable passwords is the essence of online security. You want to keep hackers away from the files and the door that keeps them away is a strong password. That’s why today I’m going to share some tips to create safe and secure passwords. Suggestions include one of the most effective ways to create secure and secure passwords with the use of an password generator. This is the newest method in creating passwords that will definitely protect the information you have from the hands of malicious hackers.

To create a password that is strong, while it is also easy to remember, use at least eight characters in the minimum. You don’t need a very long password that you can’t remember after you’ve created them. Eight characters should be enough to give your password a security boost. Passwords that have more characters can be strong, but the risk of forgetting them is generally greater.

Complex passwords are commonly characterized by their length, such as random they are making it difficult for hackers to guess correctly. By basing these two features, your name as a passphrase is always a bad idea. The same with other random things about you things like your favorite character in a movie or the name of your first love.

As new security measures develop, cyber criminals are always finding a new way to overcome these new systems. They are always willing to find the vulnerabilities of the current security system. And when they do, they are always ready to exploit them.

You must be cautious enough before using any of this software. Attackers can falsify these generators at times making it so easy for them to have their passwords. You need to know if you can rely on the software or not.

By applying these tips you should be able to create secure passwords. These sentences must be enough to make the hackers surrender. And when they do, your private information will remain private. You will be enjoying a safer presence on the Internet.

But if you want much more complete password phrases for a much higher level of security, you might implore the use of key generators. They provide keys with the use of algorithms that will surely create random keys that might be impossible to duplicate.

Key generators are used by big names in different industries because they know they are objected to more attacks. They know that the risk is so great for them and that a data gap could topple their business. They are willing to invest more in their safety because the weight of the possible loss is much higher than the resource they are spending for security.

A loss of data causes huge damage to companies and personalities. Protect yourself from malicious attacks by using password phrases that are quite difficult for malicious people to break. This is the first step in preventing hackers from accessing sensitive files. Companies are investing a lot in their data security, because they know they can lose everything when their private files are exposed to the wrong hands. They are developing almost un-hackable passwords generators to respond to this concern. Try here

Because through the Apple beta software program, anyone can get IOS 12 to their iPhone or IPad right now. Here’s how:

1. Make sure the device is compatible. If you already have IOS 11 running, it will be. (In short, you need an IPhone 5s or later, a 6th generation ipad touch, any ipad Pro, a mini ipad 2 or newer, or a 5th generation ipad or newer.)
2. Support the device in which you intend to install the beta in case of emergency. Or not, but in this case don’t say I’m not warning you.

3. Go to Beta. Apple.com on its device and register for the program. Or if you’re already registered, sign in using your Apple ID.

4. Click the ‘ Start ‘ link and scroll down to get the introductory section of the IOS page. Click ‘ Register your IOS device ‘.

5. Since you have already supported your device (correct?), click on ‘ Download Profile ‘. You will be prompted to download a profile that will be installed in the configuration.

6. Once the profile is installed, you will be prompted to reboot. Try this, go to Settings > General > Update the software and you’ll see the current beta available for download. That’s it: Your last chance to go back.

7. Make sure the device is connected to a power source. Click Download and install, OK, and-once downloaded the huge Installer-install now. Depending on the speed Wi-Fi and how many lucky stars are hidden on your person, you need to rocking the IOS 12 in half an hour or so.

If you decide that you have made a terrible mistake at some point, connect your device to iTunes and restore it from the back-up you’ve taken, even if you keep in mind any data other than cloud added to your device, because that point will be lost forever.

Latest budget SSDs – some of the best

The Crucial MX500 is our new 1TB SATA Drive of choice. The combination of the sweet point of characteristics, value, guarantee and performance deserves the highest marks. There are a few better SATA SSD performance and none that offer the value that makes the MX500. Many manufacturers of 1TB units will be forced to reduce prices to compete. Of course, if you’re chasing the final performance, then the NVMe drives remain the only real option. The NVMe variants should really allow the 64-layer 3d NAND micron to shine, but it is basically to reveal such drive again. 2018 promises to be an exciting year in SSD space.

Intel 750 SSD 1.2TB is easily the fastest consumer drive unit we’ve ever tried, and by a big margin. It’s not that good at sequential performance, as Intel has focused on Random read/write, it’s much more useful in the real world, but it still brings the package with a sequential read result of 693MB/sec, and a write speed of 737MB/sec (the Pro 8 50 Makes 511MB/sec and 478MB/sec, respectively. In the 4k test QD16, which reflects the performance of the Real World application, we see the 750 record a reading speed of 528MB/sec and 979MB/sec, compared to 850 Pro 378mb/sec and 341MB/sec. The tests of ioPS were performed in another league, with a performance reading around 40% faster than a 850 Pro at 135,074 ioPS, and a reading speed of almost 300% faster up to 250,536.
Considering its excellent performance, data protection and competitive pricing, there is simply no alternative for those who want the absolute best SSD on the market in terms of random reading/writing performance, and not too Bad in the sequential transfers are.

Biostar G300 SSDs are aimed at enthusiasts and players, especially those of the esports Arena. The new units are thin, only 6.8 mm, and the promise of Biostar 10 percent better performance than their competitors thanks to the super-fast NAND Flash Memory. Within the curved, screw-free case there is a six-layer PCB for durable and stable operation, and each unit comes with a three-year warranty.
Full Features:
Model: Gaming G300
Size: 100 * 70 * 6.8 mm
Weight: 50g
Storage media: Super Speed NAND Flash
Operating Voltage: DC 5v
Operation Temp: 0 ℃ (32 ℉) to 70 ℃ (158 ℉)
Operating systems: Windows OS/Linux OS/Mac OS
File formats: FAT16/32, NTFS, Ext2/ext3, Reiser FS
Units are now available in 120, 240, and 480GB capacity, for $US 44, $US 66, and $US 140 respectively.

OCZ Vertex 100 GB SSD is a very fast performer also, with an average reading speed of 223.8 MB/s, random access of 0.1 MS and a strong burst speed of 246.5 MB/s. Although not the biggest unit in history, reaching only 93.16 GB when formatted in NTFS, the performance is the best we’ve seen from any SSD so far. We filled the unit with unnecessary data until it burst into seams, and observed a small but significant performance drop: a decrease of 201.5 MB/s average reading, slightly higher than 258.1 MB/s burst and a little slower 0.2 MS Access random.

It’s not unusual for a unit to go back a bit when it’s full, and for blithe performance in your hand it’s definitely a great option for an operating system drive. Just a great pity for the price.
