I have been using Google TV on the Chromecast with Google TV streaming player for a while now. Google TV aggregates content from various streaming services like Disney+, Apple TV+, Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, Pluto, Tubi etc. From the settings, you can turn on which services you wish Google TV to recommend content from. Your recommendation will then appear on the home screen. Tapping on a movie or show will launch the respective service and play it for you....

Managing VPN apps on your iPhone includes things like turning them on and off at will, deleting them when you decide, and a number of other things. Being able to manage VPN apps is important because you won’t always want to use the app. Hence, it makes sense to have full control over what happens with it. In this post, we’ll take you through how to manage VPN apps on your iPhone....

This is a really good and handy feature as sometimes, especially in places where data cost are on the high side, downloading mobile apps can consume a lot of data. Hence, this feature allows users to cut out this cost and still get an app installed. Provided the sharer has it. Google is powering this activity via its file sharing feature – Nearby Share. Nearby Share was Google’s answer to AirDrop, and maybe to Xender too....

Chromebooks had been around for several years, but initially outside of internet browsing, they have had very little functionality. Google then started working on bringing Android Apps to Chromebooks to expand their functionality. There is a Java virtual machine inside the chrome books that enables it to run Android apps. With access to the Google Play store, Chrome books now have access to over 3 million Android based apps. This means you can use Chromebooks without internet access to play games, work on documents in Microsoft Word and other stuff you could already do with an Android tablet....

Today, Facebook is becoming yet another American tech giant to pull out their service to Huawei. Reuters was the first to report on June 7 that “Facebook is no longer allowing preinstallation of its apps on Huawei phones… Customers who already have Huawei phones will still be able to use its apps and receive updates, Facebook told Reuters. But new Huawei phones will no longer be able to have Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram apps preinstalled....

Many Chinese OEMs have gotten this bad rap, and some like Xiaomi’s MIUI going as far as showing ads in the settings app. Granted, their reason makes sense….sort of. They show you these ads in a bid to generate some little revenue that goes to offset the price of their devices that is generally lower than the competition. But ads are still ads; annoying and intrusive. Advertising has a time and a place, and the place is never on the lock screen of a smartphone you paid a lot of money for....

The 2 devices were announced in April this year and were available to buy by June 2016. Both phones are Dual SIM with LTE/3G models and some good specs for entry level devices.

More than a decade ago, Telcos only concerned themselves on offering SMS and telephony services. Internet was mostly a hassle left to Internet Service Providers(ISP) and pricing and packaging of internet was ridiculously simple. An ISP like Uganda Telecom ran a dial-up modem to your house or office for a flat fee of say Ugx 180,000. It was pay once, consume all you can. Not any more. 2G/EDGE, then 3G, then 4G LTE happened....

According to Twitter via a blog post, “We’ve heard from the people that use Twitter a lot, and we mean a lot, that we don’t always build power features that meet their needs. Well, that’s about to change. We took this feedback to heart, and are developing and iterating upon a solution that will give the people who use Twitter the most what they are looking for: access to exclusive features and perks that will take their experience on Twitter to the next level....

Parented by MultiChoice Africa, Digital Satellite Television (DStv for short) is a television service that has supplied (local and international) contents to 50 African countries in Africa since its inception in 1995. No doubts, DStv helped revolutionized TV contents in Africa. However, the entrance of cheaper (and better) entertainment alternatives (like Netflix, Showmax etc.) to the African scene have made many content consumers question if their DStv subscription is still worth....

Oh wait. Most of Kenya is actually quite peaceful. And despite reports coming out from foreign media, the country’s historic elections have come and gone with little incident. Kenyans on Twitter, who often use the hashtag #KOT to chat with each other online and debate about current events, knew the truth. And so a meme was born. According to one Storify account, Kenya Ni Kwetu, the meme(#TweetLikeAForeignJouranlist) arose as a rebuttal to anxiety for bloodbaths by foreign journalists basing on the unfortunate events of the 2007 election....

Jamii Telecommunications Limited (JTL) is, however, taking a completely new approach with Faiba 4G.

The OnePlus 7T is expected to be the company’s first 5G smartphone that will be globally available and speculation season is ripe for the upcoming. And, just as with a lot of other phones at this stage, photorealistic renders and 3D models have been commissioned from Steve Hemmerstoffer of @OnLeaks by Indian publication Pricebaba. @OnLeaks has come to be known for his reproductions that are usually made using sourced schematics, dimensions and the like — and we don’t have much reason here to doubt the pictures we see here....
