Dangers of 5G technology for aviation: Boeing and Airbus warn the US government

The heads of the two largest aircraft manufacturers in the world asked the United States government to delay the launch of new telephone services under 5G technology.

Apple allows its users to repair latest models of iphone

Apple has announced that it will let its users fix the latest models of their phones and will even provide the necessary original tools and parts. However for now, this will only be applicable to the 12 and 13 series of the iPhone, which the specialized media describe as true pieces of engineering due to the number of screws and how compact all the components are. Apple said the "self-service repair" program aims to allow "comfortable customers" to fix their own devices . Device makers say unsupervised independent repair could lead to safety and security concerns. (Photo: GETTY IMAGES) It will begin early next year in the United States and will cover the replacement of batteries, screens and cameras of the brand's latest models, the parts that usually suffer the most damage, althou...

WhatsApp Web: Way to receive notifications when a contact is online

There is no doubt that the application most used every day around the world is WhatsApp, especially after its developers introduced WhatsApp Web a long time ago, a platform that allows you to remain connected to the app without the need for your cell phone anymore, through a computer or browser.

Who watches 5G radiation (and what are its real risks)

Dozens of antennas, bluetooth devices and hundreds of mobile phones surround and radiate us every day. Not to mention 5G telephony that, it seems, will end life on Earth. So much radiation can't be good! Who controls exposure levels and possible health effects? Risk perception Electromagnetic fields have been present in nature since before the appearance of man. Sunlight, cosmic rays, storms, and natural terrestrial radiation are sources of exposure to these fields. In the mid-1990s, mobile phone antenna networks began to be deployed. Although they were made with international technical standards, which already took into account the protection of the population, not enough information was offered in this regard.

I want to make a podcast, where do I start?

Although the podcast format is not new or recent at all, since 2018 it has been on the rise and with significant growth within content creators. We can even see that today most have "broken" a bit with what was the original format of doing it only in audio and have added the possibility of having it also in video. This has been mainly because content marketing statistics have let us know that users consume hours and hours of online videos and that, among their preferences, videomarketing tends to stand out. In fact, according to CISCO research, 82% of Internet traffic by 2022 will come from videos. On the other hand, Statista conducted a survey where 54.9% prefer to watch short videos compared to other formats such as series and movies. This already gives us a projection on how...

Facial recognition: who is the actual owner of our faces?

Who does your face belong to? Of course, a silly question… right? But what about the data generated from your face? And what does it mean for your face to become data? There is already a lot of data on millions of faces. We have offered our faces on social networks and in photos stored in the cloud. But we have not yet determined who owns the data associated with the contours of our faces. In the era of great technologies, we have to reflect on the expectations that we can and should have about who has access to our faces. The recent riots in the United States Capitol have put the issue in the spotlight, since facial recognition becomes a vital tool to identify those who participated in the protest: What is the power of facial recognition technology? Are we ready to take ...
