 Samsung s9 and s9+ introduction!!

Canon’s newest mirrorless camera shoots 4K video The M50 is similar to the M5, but it’s got a new image processor, new RAW file format, and more Canon is finally embracing 4K video with a new mirrorless camera called the M50. The petite shooter is, essentially,  2016’s Canon M5  with fewer dials and buttons and a more streamlined body. But the upgraded internals and a swivel-out screen mean this will be the company’s most video-friendly mirrorless camera to date when it ships in April. The  $779 M50  uses a 24.1-megapixel APS-C sensor that’s a hair smaller than the 24.2-megapixel one found in the M5. Despite that, the camera is capable of doing more, and should capture better images in low light, Canon claims. This is thanks to the fact that the M50 employs a brand new version of Canon’s image processor, the DIGIC 8. A MIX OF THE M5 AND THE M6, BUT WITH BETTER INTERNALS The M50 is the first Canon camera to use the DIGIC 8, which lets the camer...

YouTube live streams will soon include automatic captions🙌 And you’ll be able to replay the live chat from streams you missed YouTube is announcing a few new features today meant to improve the experience for viewers watching live streams. First, the company has announced that it’s bringing automatic English captions to live streams whenever professionally provided captions aren’t available. The continued goal is to make streams accessible for more people. These captions utilize the company’s live automatic speech recognition (LASR) technology, which is “approaching” industry standards for error rates and latency. It’s powered by machine learning, and thus the auto captions are  far from perfect . But it’s certainly better than nothing if you want to make things convenient for viewers and maximize your live stream audience. Automatic live stream captions will be rolling out sometime in the coming weeks. Second, YouTube is now going to preserve and replay the ch...

Now,  Reuters  is reporting that Apple will also hold iCloud encryption keys for Chinese users in China itself, raising new concerns about government access. The new policy does not affect any iCloud users outside of China. As  Reuters  notes, that compliance means Chinese authorities will have easier access to user data that’s stored in Apple’s iCloud service, especially now that, for the first time, Apple will store the keys for Chinese iClouds within China. Apple says   it alone would control the encryption keys, and Chinese authorities do no...
