[Deal Alert] Moto X4 Prime Exclusive is $299.99 ($30 off) from Amazon

Posted: 19 Nov 2017 12:04 PM PST

Amazon’s Prime Exclusive program has proven to be pretty successful, with several new phones having been added within the past few months. One of those phones is the Moto X4, a mid-ranger aimed at revitalizing the beloved Moto X brand. Now you can get an X4 in Prime Exclusive guise for just $299.99, $30 off its MSRP.

The glass-backed Moto X4 sports a 5.2-inch 1080p LCD, a Snapdragon 630, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage with microSD expansion, a 12MP/8MP camera combo on the back, a 16MP selfie cam, and a 3000mAh battery. It also has IP68 water resistance, which is nice to have. And since this is a Prime Exclusive phone, there are a ton of Amazon apps preinstalled.

$329.99 is the normal going rate for this phone, but it’s now available for $299.99 in both ‘Super Black’ and ‘Sterling Blue’ colors. However, you’ll have to be a Prime member to get this deal. But as you might imagine, Prime shipping is free.

[Update: Now $599.99 everywhere] Deal alert: Xperia XZ1 is down to $605 ($95 off) with no tax outside NY/NJ on Amazon

Posted: 19 Nov 2017 12:04 PM PST

Most of you may be under the impression that Google’s Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL will be the first phones out with Android 8.0 Oreo. But it’s not those two, or even the LG V30, that can claim that honor; it’s actually Sony’s Xperia XZ1. And now, you can grab one of these Oreo-toting phones for just a hair over $605 on Amazon through Focus Camera, with no tax charged unless you’re in New York or New Jersey. That’s a decent bit lower than the $650 price we spotted a few weeks ago.

The Xperia XZ1 sports a 5.2″ 1080p HDR display topped with Gorilla Glass 5, a Snapdragon 835, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage with microSD expansion, a 19MP main camera, a 13MP selfie shooter, and a 2700mAh battery. Other noteworthy features include a 7.4mm-thin frame, IP68 certification against water and dust, 960fps slow-motion video capture, and dual SIM capabilities. Unfortunately, the US-market phone doesn’t get a fingerprint sensor on board.

All four colors of the XZ1 are discounted to roughly the same price, with the Moonlit Blue color being the lowest at $605.03 and the Venus Pink the highest at $607.59. And if you’d rather have a 4.6″ XZ1 Compact, the black and Twilight Pink colors are only $539.99, also through Focus Camera. The Compacts are almost out of stock, though, so act quickly if you want one of those. Shipping is free, and you don’t have to pay tax unless you’re in New York or New Jersey. Check the source links below if you’d like to pick one up.

Amazon, B&H, Best Buy, and likely more retailers are now selling the XZ1 for just $599.99. Given the specs, that’s really not a bad price at all.

[Deal Alert] Dual-SIM Galaxy S8+ is just $583.92 ($241 off) with code on eBay

Posted: 19 Nov 2017 12:04 PM PST

If you’ve been on the prowl for a good dual-SIM flagship, there’s never been a better chance to buy one. The frequently-discounted dual-SIM Galaxy S8+ has reached just $583.92 with a $50 off coupon code, making this the cheapest price for this phone we’ve seen thus far.

Aside from the Exynos 8895 chipset in place of the Snapdragon 835, the specs for this international model are the same as the US variant’s. That means a 6.2″ 1440p AMOLED panel in the 18:9 ratio, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, a 12MP camera, and a 3500mAh battery. IP68 water resistance and fast wireless charging are present as well.

To get that $583.92 price point, you’ll need to use code PSHOPEARLY at checkout. Expedited shipping is free, though the phones are coming from Taiwan. Only Midnight Black and Orchid Gray phones are still purchasable, and the listing is showing the dreaded “limited quantity available” text. Hit the source link below to grab one of these fantastic phones.

Esta app para Windows, Mac, Android y Chrome te deja experimentar el mundo a través de tu wallpaper

Posted: 19 Nov 2017 12:04 PM PST

World View Wallpaper es una simple pero interesante aplicación que combina miles de fotografías de diferentes lugares del planeta y te las muestra en tu escritorio como un recordatorio del mundo que hay ahí afuera y cómo se ven en este momento.

La app funciona en Windows, Mac y Android, además de tener una extensión para Chrome que hace lo mismo que con el escritorio de tu ordenador, pero en la página de inicio del navegador.

Además de mostrarte bonitas fotos de varias ciudades, la foto que te muestra es de cómo se ve ese sitio en el momento en el que cambia el wallpaper.

Por ejemplo, si son las 6 de la tarde en el Caribe, la aplicación te muestra una foto del sol poniéndose en el océano Atlántico. Si son las 7 de la mañana en California, podrás ver una foto del amanecer sobre el puente Golden Gate.

La aplicación para Windows usa 500 MB de espacio para almacenar una imagen por minuto de una sola ubicación. Puedes cambiar de ubicación en cualquier momento, las fotos serán bajadas en segundo plano y reemplazarán la ubicación anterior.

La imágenes pueden mostrar la hora en el sitio donde tú estás, o en la ubicación de la foto. Las versiones para Windows, Chrome, y Android son gratuitas. La versión para macOS cuesta 5 dólares.

Quad9 DNS promises better privacy and security

Posted: 19 Nov 2017 12:04 PM PST

Quad9 is a new endpoint DNS service by IBM, Packet Clearing House (PCH) and Global Cyber Alliance (GCA) that improves privacy and data protection.

While there are quite a few public DNS services out there, most Internet users probably don’t use any of those but rely on the Internet Provider for all things DNS. That’s comfortable as it works out of the box, but neither really secure nor beneficial to data privacy.

The provider knows any domain name to IP look up on the computer, and knows exactly what users do on the Internet. Even VPN solutions may not protect against this, depending on whether the VPN protects against DNS leaks or not.

Third-party services may improve security, privacy and the performance of DNS. Not all services do, and some services may use the accumulated traffic information internally or may sell it to marketing companies.

Quad9 by IBM, PCH and GCA promises fast speeds, and improved security and privacy. The operators of Quad9 promise that the service does not “store, correlate or otherwise employ any personally identifiable information”, and that data will never be shared with marketers or used for demographic analysis.

Security checks are performed on all DNS requests to identify malicious networks and sites prior to the loading of content from these sites and services.

Quad9 uses PCH’s network of worldwide servers — IBM states that services are available in over 160 locations around the world — and that access and performance should be quite good regardless of location.

Setting up Quad9 is quite easy as well. All you need to do is set the DNS of the network adapter to 9.9.9.9 to do so. You find instructions on how to set this up for Windows and Mac devices on the Quad9 website.

Webmasters find options on the site to check whether domains are blocked by the service, and an option to request the unblocking if it is a false positive.

I ran Quad9 through a series of DNS benchmarks and the service did not disappoint.

While it is not the fastest service out there, it finished in the top 3 before popular services such as Google DNS, OpenDNS and many others.

Here is a video that highlights the basics of Quad9 and DNS

Closing words

It is always good to have more choice, and Quad9 is a promising new DNS service that is free, secure, not invasive to privacy, and quite fast .

Now You: Which DNS service do you use, and why?

Avast bundles CCleaner with Avast Free Antivirus

Posted: 19 Nov 2017 12:04 PM PST

Avast acquired Piriform, the maker of CCleaner and other popular programs in July 2017. The Czech security company is known for its line of free and commercial security products for Windows and other operating system, and for acquiring the security company AVG in a billion Dollar deal.

Piriform released CCleaner more than a decade ago, and the program grew quickly to become one of the most popular cleaning programs for Windows. The company’s infrastructure was compromised in September, and a malicious version of CCleaner was distributed from company servers for about a month as a consequence.

Avast and Piriform were quick to point out that Piriform would continue to develop CCleaner and other products, and that Piriform products would be maintained separately from Avast’s own software catalog.

Avast did hint at synergies however in the acquisition announcement but did not reveal more than that back then.

If you have downloaded and installed CCleaner on Windows recently — the free version of the program that comes with an installer will do — you may have identified one of the synergies already.

The CCleaner installer comes with adware offers. This has been the case for years, and many experienced users avoided this by using the portable version of the application instead.

ccleaner avast adware

The installer download is placed prominently on the site however, and most users probably download and use it. The most recent installer comes with Avast Free Antivirus. It is offered on the first page of the installer, and enabled by default.

Users who don’t pay attention will install CCleaner and Avast Free Antivirus on their systems. While one could argue that offering Avast is better than many other products that are usually offered in adware installers, it is still the case that making these offers opt-out is not user friendly.

CCleaner users who don’t want Avast installed on the device they run the installer on need to uncheck the “Get Avast Free Antivirus now” box in the installer, or, and that is the highly suggested option, download the portable version of CCleaner instead as it ships without adware.

CCleaner is used by over 150 million users worldwide. Bundling Avast Free Antivirus with CCleaner will push the antivirus software on user systems. While that may look good on paper, it remains to be seen how thrilled users are when they notice that another software program was installed on their device during the installation of CCleaner.

Side note: This would make for an interesting study: User perception of adware installed software. In this case, whether Avast Free Antivirus’ reputation takes a hit when it is linked to adware offers especially since the program is designed to protect systems against adware.

Closing Words

Avast is not the only reputable company that pushes its programs through adware offers. Google does the same with its Chrome browser, and so do plenty of other companies that are held in high regard by most computer users. (via Teechdows)

Now You: Does your perception of products that are pushed via adware offers change?

Windows users who install the most recent version of the popular file and traces cleaning software CCleaner, will notice that it comes bundled with Avast Free Antivirus now.
