Bitcoin lost more than 15% of its value in 24 hours with a net stall at 8:00 this morning. At € 9400, it reached its lowest level since December 5th. Most cybermuries follow the same direction (Ethereum -19%, Ripple -27%, Bitcoin Cash -21%).

Among the elements evoked to explain this decline we talk about new repressive measures in China, targeting not the country's exchanges - which have ceased all activity since September - but exchanges between individuals as well as alternative sites and applications that put them in place. relationship.

Amazing, Samsung Promises an FM Module for its Smartphones

Amazing, Samsung Promises an FM Module for its Smartphones

FM broadcasting‬, ‪Samsung‬‬

We forget the past a little fast but was a time when all mobile phones, even the cheapest, allowed to listen to FM radio. It was enough to connect a headset, activate the function, and the turn was played. Easy, efficient and not even greedy in battery.





And then over the years, FM modules have disappeared from our mobiles and especially from our smartphones without we really know why. Did the module take up too much space? Was he present but locked for obscure reasons? Still, to listen to the radio on a smartphone, it must go through a streaming application or a dedicated website, which in any case will strain the battery life. This absence has been regularly criticized without anyone moving.

Samsung is considered the hero of the week since the live FM should make a comeback with the next Galaxy S9. Better, most future terminals of the world number one will have this function. The information has been confirmed by NextRadio.

Its owner explains that Samsung will "unlock" the FM module, implying that it has always been present in the smartphones of the brand ... "Samsung should be applauded for this important decision," enthuses Paul Brenner, President of NextRadio. We would like to say: it was time.

Especially since direct access to the FM band can render a lot of services, especially in case of natural disaster or when cellular networks have fallen. FM radio can then become a means of critical information and the smartphone its support (transistors are increasingly rare in homes).

However, it is a pity that this major technological advance is a priori reserved for North American markets.

At CES 2018, AMD Launches a Serious Offensive on the Laptop Market

At CES 2018, AMD launches a serious offensive on the laptop market

‪‪Advanced Micro Devices‬, ‪Kaby Lake‬, ‪Next Unit of Computing‬, ‪AMD Vega‬, ‪Intel Core i7

AMD intends to wear its colors on the laptops of 2018. At CES, the manufacturer has clarified its strategy.

"2018 will be the first year you will see as many laptops available on the market with AMD processors," we are told from the outset, as we begin a tour of the brand's new products. And it is true that it makes us a little to see so many laptops on which are glued the AMD logos, instead of the traditional Intel Inside that we know by heart.



And this is only fair: in 2017, AMD processors from the Ryzen range have proven their performance on desktops - so we expect a lot of variations Ryzen Mobile. Especially since the manufacturer has a particularly interesting strategy for the coming year, leaving Intel and Nvidia, the very high-end and computers for players. So we find ourselves with AMD Ryzen Mobile in two product categories: ultrabooks designed for the general public and costing between just under € 500 and about € 1,000 and professional computers, sold in large numbers to businesses and SMEs .

‪‪Advanced Micro Devices‬, ‪Kaby Lake‬, ‪Next Unit of Computing‬, ‪AMD Vega‬, ‪Intel Core i7

To conquer the first sector, AMD has the ability to show that prestigious partners trust it, from Lenovo to HP via Asus, Acer or Dell. All of these brands will offer variations of their flagship computers (such as the x360 for HP or the Dell Inspiron) with AMD Ryzen Mobile processors. The small Ryzen 3 mobile 2300U, with its 4 cores and 4 threads clocked up to 3.4 Ghz should be talked about insofar as it will be able to propel entry-level models particularly at home in all office and multimedia tasks.

On the professional side, AMD declines its Ryzen Pro range into 3 models, 7, 5 and 3 and intends to offer businesses and SMEs a solution that is robust, versatile and secure to equip computer parks. All the models mentioned will share the same guarantees and services that are essential for companies. For example, we are thinking of the open standard DASH for fleet management that will be integrated into all processors, from the entry-level to the high-end, or the 36-month extended warranty. AMD also welcomes the accessibility of these technologies on their entry-level model, when Intel reserves its vPro solutions for Core i5 and i7 processors and has not yet deployed them on the 8th generation Core i processors.

It is therefore a confident AMD found in the corridors of the Venetian, with products just waiting to prove themselves and a commercial strategy that does not tease the competition in the race for power. And it may be a good idea to restore your health and reimpose a brand: we forget too often, when we have our eyes riveted to the high-end, that the little versatile computers and inexpensive are the real levers of the democratization of computers. AMD has no interest in letting his luck pass.

Apple admits half-word stop WiFi terminals (Linksys to the Rescue)

Apple admits half-word stop WiFi terminals (Linksys to the rescue)

Apple Inc.‬, ‪Wi-Fi‬, ‪Linksys‬, ‪AirPort‬, ‪AirPort Time Capsule‬‬

Why the hell does Apple no longer evolve its WiFi terminals? These devices are yet easy to use, configure and are still abundant in all fans of the brand. Last year, Bloomberg revealed that Apple wanted to abandon this market.

If the WiFi standards have not moved much since the last "ac" models, it is rather the signal repetition techniques that have developed. WiFi "Mesh" is indeed present on most new devices on the market (Netgear, Google, Linksys ...), and can cover large areas by limiting flow losses. The downside, these terminals are quite expensive, more than $238.




In a short message sent to 9to5Mac, Apple confirms that the products will remain for sale, but that it prefers to direct its customers to competing products for "big houses". One way to say that current products will not be updated, at least in the medium term.

"People like our AirPort products and we continue to sell them. Connectivity is important at home and we offer customers another option that suits big houses"

Too bad that Apple no longer interested in WiFi, because its solutions also embedded ways to save its data (Time Capsule) or to play music in AirPlay (AirPort Express ($130)). But Apple also seems to be the victim of a problem of "scaling", and sometimes finds itself abandoning lines of products for several years, lack of engineer to handle it full time.

At the CES in Las Vegas, Nokia is presenting a WLAN-enabled mat with sensors that are placed under the mattress. So we should sleep better.




With the acquisition of the French company Withings Nokia has fully entered the health market. And markets the products again under its own, still very well-known brand name.

At the world's largest CES show in Las Vegas (USA), the Finns have now introduced Nokia Sleep. This is a mat that you put under the mattress. With its sensors and connected to the WLAN and an app, the tracker can analyze very different things.

First of all, the sleep cycle is measured accurately. So not only the duration but also interruptions and light or deep sleep phases and the important REM sleep. This can also be many smartwatches or fitness bracelets. But Nokia Sleep can do much more.

The mat is placed under the mattress, so it should not bother

Nokia Sleep Also Measures How Much Man Snores

For example, record snores or control the Smarthome via an IFTTT standard interface. So turn on the radio or the light if you wake up slowly in the right amount of time. When falling asleep, for example, the temperature could be turned down.

Nokia Sleep connects to a free app. There you can see all health data and get your own sleep rated. On request, there are also tips on how to recover better. Or an eight-week coaching program (Smarter Sleeping).

Nokia Sleep will be launched in the first quarter of 2018 and will cost around $122.

CES 2018 - RAZER LAUNCHES IN THE CARPET THAT RECHARGES YOUR MOUSE

RAZER LAUNCHES IN THE CARPET THAT RECHARGES YOUR MOUSE

Razer Inc.‬, ‪The International Consumer Electronics Show‬, ‪Logitech‬‬

Razer Launches the First Battery-Free Wireless Gaming Mouse with the Razer Mamba HyperFlux and Razer Firefly HyperFlux Mousepad.

Unlike other attempts to generate wireless energy for a mouse, the new Razer HyperFlux technology allows the mouse pad to create a magnetic field that efficiently and directly transmits energy to the mouse that accompanies it. This technology is the first in the world to make it unnecessary to use a charger for your mouse. This gives a wireless gaming mouse whose ultra lightweight can usually only be achieved with a wired mouse.

The Razer Mamba HyperFlux and the Razer Firefly HyperFlux mousepad are the first Razer products to feature this revolutionary technology.

"Other companies have tried to design wireless mouse charging methods, but they have failed to reach the true potential of wireless, as their mice still require a battery to charge. HyperFlux wireless charging technology is changing the game world. "Says Min-Liang Tan, co-founder, and CEO of Razer. "Players are no longer dependent on a battery or cable. Instead, they will be able to enjoy the true freedom of wireless with a mouse that weighs the same weight as a wired mouse. "

Razer Inc.‬, ‪The International Consumer Electronics Show‬, ‪Logitech‬‬

The Razer Mamba HyperFlux is also equipped with Adaptive Frequency Technology (AFT), which Razer owns, allowing it to have a stronger signal. This provides the best stability of wireless signal between a mouse and computer market thanks to an adaptive scan and the transition to the strongest signal in the frequency band of 2.4 GHz. With its 16,000 DPI 5G optical sensor, the Razer Mamba HyperFlux is at the top of the rankings of wireless gaming mice in terms of speed and accuracy, while never needing recharging.

The Razer Firefly HyperFlux is the latest addition to Razer's award-winning RGB Mousepad line. It has two different faces: a rigid surface for more speed, and the other in fabric for greater control and precision. When connected, the carpet produces energy indefinitely with the mouse, for seamless gaming sessions.

CES 2018: Acer's Nitro 5 Switches to AMD Ryzen Power

Acer takes advantage of CES 2018 to announce a new version of the Nitro 5, its laptop for gamer occasional or focused on the eSport, doped with AMD Ryzen chips.

Among the new Acer laptops present in Las Vegas, there is "the finest in the world" Swift 7 but also-and thicker, the Nitro 5 version 2018. Like his counterpart announced in New York last spring, this computer is first and foremost a machine for video game gamers practiced in the eSport sphere (Overwatch, DoTA 2, LoL, CS: GO).

Here, and unlike the competition, Intel Core i5 or Core i7 processor point. These are two AMD Ryzen processors announced this fall that are at work, as well as an AMD Radeon graphics card. AMD at all for gaming at Acer? A long time ago we had not seen that!

Low-power processors for gaming?

Acer Inc.‬, ‪Advanced Micro Devices‬‬

In 15.6-inch format and robust appearance, the housing of the Nitro 5 is adorned with a plastic imitation carbon fiber coating and a few touches of red, gaming requires. On the sides of the machine are USB 3.0, USB Type-C, HDMI 2.0 video output, a network jack (10/1000) and traditional audio connectivity.

Acer has communicated to us the two configurations that will be on sale in France from April, from around 900 euros. The only difference between these versions will be the AMD processor: a Ryzen 5 2500U in the most affordable and a Ryzen 7 2700U in the most expensive version. A rather strange choice since, at their launch, AMD rather destined these two chips "low consumption" to the markets of laptops 14 and 15.6 inches of thin thickness.

For the rest, the datasheet shows the presence of 8 GB of DDR4 memory, a Radeon RX 560X graphics card, a 128 GB SSD and a 1 TB hard drive.

Samsung sees very big in TVs

The International Consumer Electronics Show‬, ‪Samsung Group‬, ‪Ultra-high-definition television

CES 2018 - The world leader in the sector unveils the largest TV screen at CES, assembling small squares a few inches apart. A race to gigantism that meets a new market demand.

Each Las Vegas Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is a chance for a new show of strength. This one does not escape the rule. Again this year, Samsung, the industry leader, decided to hit the spirits with a wall, called precisely "The Wall". The name of the new Korean TV screen refers to its size, 146 inches (3.75 meters) diagonal. With him, Samsung presents a new technology that allows it to make screens of any size, almost on demand, by assembling small squares a few inches apart. Put together, they create this huge set and it is impossible to see the knuckles with the naked eye.

This race for gigantism responds to a demand from the market, which is going to screens bigger and bigger. But it is a good illustration of consumer demand for TVs larger than 50 inches.last year sales of very large screens have increased.

TV makers remain convinced that young people will come back to them when they are tired of watching their videos on smartphones, tablets or PCs. With a double concern: find the same content - easy thing with a connected TV - and a superior image quality. Samsung is also pushing its pawns in this area with an 8K screen with artificial intelligence (AI).
