| CES 2019 Google Assistant Headphones: Updating List Posted: 07 Jan 2019 12:05 PM PST  Because CES is a very busy time of year for us, we're going to spare you a bit of spam in terms of announcements concerning Google Assistant-powered things. One category that we expect to see a lot of announcements in are headphones and the fact that many companies will be adding Google Assistant to them. So, this post will be a running list of all the Google Assistant-powered headphones, earbuds, and audio goodness that has Google's digital assistant. You can expect to see it updated quite a bit over the week. JBL LIVE 400BT & LIVE 500BT & 650BTNC (Pictured Above) JBL announced a lineup of Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa supporting headphones this week, comprised of the Live 400BT, 500BT, and 650 BTNC. Given the name, only the 650 features noise cancellation, but the 400BT and 500BT feature both Ambient Aware and TalkThru technologies. The JBL LIVE Series will be available for purchase at major retailers and on JBL.com starting Spring 2019 in a variety of pricing and color options. // JBL
Jabra Elite 85h Kellen already wrote up Jabra's Elite 85h, another headphone that offers support for Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. They come in four colors: Black, Titanium Black, Gold Beige, and Navy. The all-black model you see above is a Best Buy exclusive. For all of the details, look here. The Jabra Elite 85h headphones arrive in April for $299. More to come! The post CES 2019 Google Assistant Headphones: Updating List appeared first on GuaripeteMagazine. |
| Posted: 07 Jan 2019 12:05 PM PST  It looks like the end has finally come – the Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X did not receive the January 2019 Android security patch. That's not super surprising, since they were no longer guaranteed to pick-up updates past November 2018, but they did manage to (surprisingly) grab December's, extending their death one final month. These are the last two Nexus devices, so this does sort of bring an end to a piece of Android history. While Google hasn't sold a Nexus branded device in years, these two were the last remaining Nexus devices to still see updates. Unless Google is just holding off on releasing update files, it looks like the end has come. Feel free to share those bootloop memories of your Nexus 5X and also how easily it was to bend your Nexus 6P. RIP. The post RIP, Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X appeared first on GuaripeteMagazine. |
| January 2019 Android Security Update Goes Live for Pixel Devices Posted: 07 Jan 2019 12:04 PM PST  Google just released the January 2019 Android security patch for Pixel devices. It appears that we already have both factory image and OTA files ready to be downloaded for those willing to do some manual labor, or as always, you can sit back and wait for the update to arrive over-the-air (OTA) to your device. So far, we are seeing new 9.0.0 files for Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL (PQ1A.190105.004), Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL (PQ1A.190105.004), and Pixel and Pixel XL (PQ1A.190105.004). The only other Google device that is still receiving security patches on Oreo is the Pixel C and it's getting build OPM8.190105.002. Functional Patches You can grab each image or OTA file at the links below. For instructions on how to flash a factory image, here you go. For instructions on how to flash an OTA .zip file, here you go. To check for the update, head into Settings>System>Advanced>System update. As more details arrive, we'll update this post.

| Posted: 07 Jan 2019 12:04 PM PST As the proliferation of AI-enabled headphones continues, Harman’s JBL is adding to its collection with three headsets from the newly-announced Live series, beginning at $100. The Samsung-owned audio subsidiary also revealed several other new mid-range products at CES 2019, including a $30 portable speaker for kids that comes in colors including “Spider Red” and “Froggy Green,” and the JBL Flip 5 portable speaker, which features a 4,800mAh rechargeable battery and starts at $100. Finally, Harman is showcasing an app called Personi-Fi that aims to bring personalized audio settings to any streaming device. The JBL Live series headphones come in five different aluminum finish models, ranging from a $40 in-ear option, the Live 100, to the $200 around-ear Live 650BTNC. Beginning at the $100 on-ear Live 400BT, the brand offers a feature wherein users can tap the left earcup to activate Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa in order to do things like search for songs, ask for directions, or queue a calendar reminder. It doesn’t appear to be a full, Bisto-style integration, however, which would notably add spoken notifications via the headset. In addition to AI, the Live 400BT and $150 around-ear Live 500BT feature JBL’s Ambient Aware and TalkThru settings, which allow users to quickly lower the volume and let in more background noise. Active noise cancellation is only available on the 650BTNC.
JBL Live headphones. Moving on to the important stuff, the JBL JR POP is the brand’s first (and hopefully last) portable Bluetooth speaker for kids. It is IPX7 water resistant, features five-hour battery life, and has a snap for attaching to backpacks. If all that wasn’t enough, the JR POP also has a multi-color lighting mode and sticker sets for customization. Whether it’s the blaring noise or lights, at least you can be sure you’ll never lose your child with this thing strapped to them.
JBL JR POP Bluetooth speaker. The adult version of this, JBL’s Flip series, has come out with a new generation of Bluetooth speaker, the Flip 5. It offers 12 hours of playtime with a 4,800mAh rechargeable battery (via USB-C), is also IPX7 rated, and has a rubber housing for extra durability. Colors include Mustard Yellow, Forest Green, Fiesta Red, and Squad (presumably the camo option).
JBL Flip 5 Bluetooth speaker. As for Personi-Fi, it’s an interesting, if vaguely described idea. Users input personal sound preferences for their associated streaming devices and services into the Personi-Fi app, which it stores in the cloud. Personi-Fi then acts as a bridge to the device, processing the audio in the cloud along the way. Because all the processing takes place in the cloud, Harman says Personi-Fi will work with any brand or type of Bluetooth endpoint. Meanwhile, on Wi-Fi smart devices and connected cars, preferences are downloaded directly to the end device (and all processing is done on-device). Intriguing as the concept might be, the proof, as they say, is in the pudding, so we’ll have to wait to see if it really is noteworthy or just one of many ‘big ideas’ debuted at CES that fade out of the public consciousness in remarkably quick fashion. There’s no set launch date for Personi-Fi, but the JBL Live headphones and Flip 5 will launch in spring 2019 at select retailers. Meanwhile, the JBL JR POP is already available online.

| Pujie Black for Wear OS adds custom images, cloud library feature, and more Posted: 07 Jan 2019 12:04 PM PST
Pujie Black is one of the best custom watch faces for Wear OS devices, and it has gone through update after update over the past few years. It’s endlessly customizable — even more so with the latest update. Version 4.0 of the watch face is now available on the Play Store, with a few new major additions. The most important new feature is the ability to add image layers to watchfaces, so you can set custom backgrounds or watch hands. You can also use vector drawings created with the Pujie Black phone app.
The update also adds the ability to design your own complications (the circular widgets on Wear OS), a ‘Cloud Library’ with other users’ watch faces, and layer automation using JavaScript. You can download Pujie Black from the Play Store at the link below.  Price: $1.99 The post Pujie Black for Wear OS adds custom images, cloud library feature, and more appeared first on GuaripeteMagazine. |
| January Pixel updates are out now: Pixel 3 video sound quality fix, 5X and 6P finally left behind Posted: 07 Jan 2019 12:04 PM PST
The latest pair of Google flagships haven’t been without their controversies — it’s effectively a yearly ritual as the tech enthusiast community picks apart a new Pixel phone’s faults— but subsequent updates typically resolve the vast majority of these issues. Lucky for us, Google claims that another Pixel 3 problem has been resolved with January’s update. The issue with low-quality audio while recording video is allegedly fixed. And downloads are posted and ready for sideloading if you’re impatiently waiting for this fix to hit your own Pixel 3.
Functional patches for this month are quite brief, only a single one is included: “Improved audio quality when recording videos” as applied to the Pixel 3 and 3 XL. Out of all the reported Pixel 3 issues, this was perhaps the most popular nit for YouTubers to pick at. (Given their reliance on video as a medium, it makes sense.) As always, there’s a small pile of vulnerabilities fixed in this month’s security bulletin. None of them stood out as particularly interesting, though they’re all a benefit to user security. OTA and Factory Image downloads are up for your early downloading convenience for the Pixel 3 and 3 XL, Pixel 2 and 2 XL, OG Pixel and OG XL, and Pixel C. Build numbers are almost identical, too:
Unlike previous months, the 2016 Pixel and Pixel XL don’t seem to be getting it late. Also worth pointing out, the Nexus 5X and 6P don’t have downloads posted yet. Since they’re technically EOL, it might be game over for the last of the Nexus phones. The rollout for the updates should begin shortly, with a good chunk of us getting it by this evening.

| Google sabe (casi) todo lo que compras, y tiene una web que lo prueba Posted: 07 Jan 2019 12:04 PM PST A lo largo de 2018 hemos repetido en varias ocasiones que prácticamente ha quedado demostrado que la privacidad es una ilusión. Después de tanto escándalo que ha traspasado la ilegalidad, todo se banaliza y pierde relevancia, pero en el nuevo año que acabamos de comenzar, los datos que las compañías hacen de los datos que recaban de nosotros volverán a estar en el centro del debate. En ese sentido, el servicio de correo electrónico que triunfa desde hace más de una década es Gmail. Es un detalle importante, porque en sus cuentas recibimos muchos de los correos electrónicos de confirmación de pedidos que hemos realizado en webs como Amazon, Aliexpress, Gearbest, etc. Google hace mucho tiempo que reconoce esos correos como pedidos, e incluso ofrece una interfaz que lo indica.  Sin embargo, la cosa no queda ahí, pues la compañía de Mountain View cuenta con una web dedicada a mostrar todas las compras que se han hecho desde un correo de Gmail. Una vez entramos podemos ver una cronología de pedidos de esas tiendas, suscripciones contratadas, aplicaciones adquiridas en Google Play, etc. Que Google tratase de algún modo la información que muestra clasificada no es extraño, pero la existencia de esta web (que no es un historia de gasto en su plataforma), sí puede sorprender a algunas personas. “Sólo tú puedes ver los pedidos”Según Google, sólo los usuarios pueden ver sus propios pedidos, y “es posible que la información de tus pedidos también se guarde con tu actividad en otros servicios de Google”. Es decir, lo que en principio ocurre en el resto de sus servicios, que nuestra información no es accesible por otros, aunque sí se procese con fines publicitarios y para “mejorar la experiencia”. Google muestra si el pedido ha sido enviado, cancelado o está listo para recoger, algo que la compañía explica: “Reunimos las compras y reservas que haces con tu cuenta de Google de fuentes como 1) Pedidos realizados mediante servicios de Google, como Google Play Store, Google Express o el Asistente de Google ó 2) Recibos o confirmaciones de pedidos que recibes en Gmail”.  Google permite eliminar los pedidos y consultar información más avanzada como el ID particular, y te lleva al correo electrónico original del que ha obtenido la información. Borrar es una opción positiva, así como quitar una suscripción (dan la opción de desvincularlas para que Google deje de saber de su existencia), pero si de verdad deseas que compañía no acceda en ningún caso a estos datos, la recomendación más drástica es dejar de usar la cuenta de Gmail para recibir esos correos.
