The update is supposed to squash most of the known bugs, but the company still advises users to contact them if any issue is found after updating by dialing *#800# through the Google Dialer app on the phone.

OnePlus 12R users can check for and install the update by going to Settings > About Device > OxygenOS > Check for Update.

The update will appear on the device if it is available, along with the complete changelog and update size.

The phone is getting the update in an incremental manner in India, which means that the update isn’t going to get pushed to all units at one go.

A wider rollout should commence very soon and have all eligible units of the OnePlus 12R updated with the latest software.

YouTube’s New Cast Menu: Modern Redesign and Enhanced Functionality

YouTube Tests New 'Most Relevant' Subscription Feed on Mobile

Highlights

New floating bottom sheet design for the Cast menu.
Compact and visually appealing interface with rounded corners.
Thumbnail and control buttons available during casting.
Updated “Disconnect” process requires tapping “This phone.”

If you’re a long-time user of YouTube on Android or iOS, you might have noticed a change recently in the app’s Cast menu.

YouTube has redesigned the Cast experience to bring a fresh, modern look and some functional tweaks to the way you cast your content to your favorite devices.

New Cast Menu

The centrally located “Cast to” that appeared when you tapped the Cast icon is now history.

The new design has a floating bottom sheet with rounded corners, presenting a more modern and visually appealing interface.

This “Select a device” menu doesn’t stretch edge-to-edge, making it compact and unobtrusive.

Once you have started casting, the new menu shows a thumbnail of what’s playing with the familiar voice and remote buttons tucked away in the corner.

Anytime, you can easily “Select different device” if you need to switch to another compatible screen or speaker.

The Disconnect Dilemma

Compact and visually appealing interface with rounded corners

One thing that has drawn some user feedback regarding the redesign is the fact that there’s no prominent “Disconnect” button.

The button, which previously allowed you to stop a casting session and pause playback on your mobile device, doesn’t exist anymore.

With the new design, you’ll need to tap “This phone” to move playback back to your mobile device, effectively ending the casting session.

Alternative Solutions

Updated "Disconnect" process requires tapping "This phone." — Updated “Disconnect” process requires tapping “This phone.”

If the two-step disconnect process feels like an inconvenience, then fear not – there are alternative ways to regain control over your playback.

You can use the Google Home app, or, if you are on Android, the media switcher can help you control your casting sessions with ease.

Addressing User Feedback

YouTube Premium and Music Crosses 100 Million Subscribers — YouTube Cast redesign continues to roll out across Android and iOS devices

The YouTube Music team has since listened to user feedback and has now added an overflow menu next to the volume slider.

This menu holds options such as “Send feedback” and, more importantly, “Disconnect from TV.”

However, it’s worth noting that this “Disconnect” option works differently than before – it only disconnects your phone from the casting session, leaving playback continuing on the connected speaker or display.

As the YouTube Cast redesign continues to roll out across Android and iOS devices, it’s likely that the team will continue to refine and improve the experience based on user feedback.

After all, a seamless casting experience is essential for those who enjoy consuming content on multiple screens and devices.

FAQs

What changes have been made to the YouTube Cast menu?

The YouTube Cast menu now features a floating bottom sheet design with rounded corners, making it more modern and visually appealing.

How do I disconnect from casting in the new YouTube Cast menu?

To disconnect, you need to tap “This phone” to move playback back to your mobile device, ending the casting session.

Is there an alternative way to control casting sessions?

Yes, you can use the Google Home app or the media switcher on Android to control your casting sessions.

What options are available in the new overflow menu?

The overflow menu includes options like “Send feedback” and “Disconnect from TV,” which only disconnects your phone from the casting session while playback continues on the connected device.

How does the new Cast menu improve the user experience?

The new design is more compact and unobtrusive, with easy access to controls and the ability to switch devices seamlessly.

Leaked Benchmarks Tease Pixel 9 Series Power with Tensor G4

Highlights

Tensor G4 features a powerful 1+3+4 core configuration.
Early benchmarks show significant performance and efficiency gains.
Pixel 9 series scores: Pixel 9 (1,016,167), Pixel 9 Pro (1,148,452), Pixel 9 Pro XL (1,176,410).
G4 chipset based on Samsung’s 4nm process with FOWLP packaging.

If the leaked images were not enough, we now have the Pixel 9 series with alleged leaked benchmark numbers, offering a glance at the performance prowess of Google’s latest Tensor G4 chipset.

These early numbers make for an interesting read as the tech world buzzes with excitement.

The Tensor G4, which is at the heart of the Pixel 9, 9 Pro, and 9 Pro XL, is a powerful and efficient processor with a 1+3+4 core configuration.

This cutting-edge setup features a flagship Cortex-X4 core, flanked by three mid-range Cortex-A720 cores and four energy-efficient Cortex-A520 cores.

In comparison to previous generations, the Tensor lineup has steadily evolved, with the original Tensor and G2 featuring a 2+2+4 configuration, while the G3 adopted a 1+4+4 array.

According to the benchmarks, the Tensor G4 promises a serious performance bump, courtesy of the Cortex-X4 core.

Arm, the company behind the core design, touts a whopping 15% performance bump compared to its predecessor, with an incredible 40% better power efficiency.

In addition, the Cortex-A720 cores boast a 20% increase in power efficiency, while the Cortex-A510 cores tout similar 22% gains.

While these early benchmarks from ‘Rozetked’ showcase promising results, it’s important to note that the devices are not running final software, and months of optimization and tuning still lie ahead.

AnTuTu scores provide a tantalizing glimpse.

Pixel 9 series scores: Pixel 9 (1,016,167), Pixel 9 Pro (1,148,452), Pixel 9 Pro XL (1,176,410)

The Pixel 9 series outperforms its predecessor:

Pixel 8: 877,443 points
Pixel 9 (Tokay): 1,016,167
Pixel 9 Pro (Caiman): 1,148,452
Pixel 9 Pro XL (Komodo): 1,176,410

With the Pixel 10 and Tensor G5 rumored to switch to TSMC’s cutting-edge manufacturing process, the Pixel 9 series and its Samsung-made Tensor G4 may come with a few asterisks for buyers this year.

Previous rumors indicated that the Tensor G4 will be based on Samsung’s latest 4nm process and FOWLP—Fan-out Wafer Level Packaging—packaging method, which should bring enhancements in terms of heat management and power efficiency.

These benchmarks paint an exciting picture, but the real test will only come in terms of how the phones truly perform and the experience they deliver.

With the launch of the device inching closer, tech enthusiasts the world over look forward to witnessing Google’s latest mobile powerhouse.

DisplayBuddy 2.0: Control Samsung Monitors and Unlock UltraBright on Mac

Highlights

DisplayBuddy 2.0 adds full brightness control for Samsung M5, M7, and M8 monitors.
UltraBright feature unlocks maximum brightness on MacBook Pro and Pro Display XDR.
DisplayBuddy uses a special Wi-Fi connection to control Samsung monitors.
Available for $18.99 or as part of the Setapp subscription.

For the uninitiated, DisplayBuddy lets users adjust the brightness of third-party external displays directly from macOS.

Earlier this year, the app picked up updates featuring a new interface, presets, and widgets.

Now, DisplayBuddy is getting another significant update, this time with support for Samsung smart monitors.

Seamless Integration with Samsung Monitors

The latest version of DisplayBuddy now allows full brightness control on Samsung monitors, including the Samsung M5, M7, and M8.

It also works with the ViewFinity S9, Samsung’s 5K monitor that competes with the Studio Display.

Normally, external monitors can be controlled by software via the DDC/CI protocol.

However, Samsung never supported this protocol in its monitors; this made it impossible for users to adjust settings like brightness and volume from the computer.

DisplayBuddy bypasses this problem by connecting to the display as a wireless remote control.

The developer explains that DisplayBuddy uses a special Wi-Fi connection to these monitors, allowing users to have full control over the monitor’s real volume, input sources, power, and even a full remote control.

DisplayBuddy is the only Mac app that can do that, so this is definitely an exciting and unique development.

UltraBright: Unlock Maximum Brightness

14-inch MacBook Pro with M3 — UltraBright feature unlocks maximum brightness on MacBook Pro and Pro Display XDR

Along with Samsung monitor support, this update brings another exciting feature: UltraBright.

As its name implies, UltraBright lets users unlock the full brightness of a MacBook Pro or Pro Display XDR, which can be incredibly useful when working outdoors or in bright environments.

Pricing and Availability

If you want to give DisplayBuddy a try, an individual license for the app costs $18.99.

Alternatively, it’s available as part of the Setapp subscription, which allows you to try out the app for free for seven days.

The upgrade to version 2.0 is free for users who have purchased previous versions of the app.

The latest version of DisplayBuddy further showcases the developer’s commitment to providing a seamless and efficient experience for Mac users who work with external displays.

FAQs

What new feature does DisplayBuddy 2.0 offer for Samsung monitors?

DisplayBuddy 2.0 now supports full brightness control for Samsung monitors like the M5, M7, M8, and ViewFinity S9.

How does DisplayBuddy control Samsung monitors without DDC/CI protocol support?

DisplayBuddy connects to Samsung monitors using a special Wi-Fi connection, acting as a wireless remote control.

What is the UltraBright feature in DisplayBuddy 2.0?

UltraBright allows users to unlock the full brightness potential of MacBook Pro and Pro Display XDR, useful for bright environments.

What is the price of DisplayBuddy 2.0?

An individual license for DisplayBuddy costs $18.99, and it’s also available as part of the Setapp subscription.

Is the DisplayBuddy 2.0 update free for existing users?

Estimated losses for Apple reach $12.3 million.
Scam involved fake model IDs and elaborate deceit tactics.
Defendants face 22 counts, including wire fraud and identity theft.

The audacious plot involved taking near-worthless counterfeit iPhone lookalikes into Apple Stores, claiming they were broken, and demanding replacements.

Apple, oblivious to the ruse, would replace the knockoff units with valuable real iPhones, which they could then sell for great profits. Scarily, this was done allegedly 16,000 times.

A Huge Financial Hit

Covering Their Tracks

iPhone_14_Pro_Gold_PDP_Image_Position-1a_Avail__en-IN — Scam involved fake model IDs and elaborate deceit tactics

To hide their activities, the co-conspirators had devised a number of tactics.

They filed for repairs at as many as ten Apple retail stores across California in a single day.

They used fake addresses, aliases, and even rental PO boxes for mail to hide their identities.

The case is now set to go to trial, and if convicted, the defendants face dire consequences.

They are charged with 22 counts spanning wire fraud, mail fraud, aggravated identity theft, and trafficking of counterfeit goods.

Each count holds the potential for years of incarceration.

FAQs

What was the main strategy behind the iPhone counterfeit scam?

The scam involved exchanging near-worthless counterfeit iPhones for real ones at Apple Stores by claiming they were broken.

Is Mobile Banking Truly Secure? Essential Tips for Safe Transactions

Highlights

Only download banking apps from trusted sources like the App Store or Google Play.
Ensure websites start with “https” to verify secure connections.
Turn off Bluetooth and avoid public device pairing to prevent unauthorized access.
Use strong, unique passwords to safeguard your mobile banking app.

Mobile banking is easy and convenient, allowing us to access our financial information; however, it brings security concerns to the table.

Let’s address these concerns head-on.

The Current Landscape

Only download banking apps from trusted sources like the App Store or Google Play

Recent reports indicate that over 30% of communication service providers have faced network breaches in the past year.

Moreover, over a third of detected malware attacks involved crypto-miners, banking trojans, or ad-click bots.

Alarming? Not quite.

Banks Take Security Seriously

Financial institutions invest billions of dollars annually to protect our information with advanced cybersecurity measures.

Nothing is completely secure, and brick-and-mortar banks hold risks associated with robberies.

Mobile banking finds a balance with convenience and protection.

Maximizing Your Mobile Banking Security

Watch Out for Phishing LinksBefore logging in

Be Cautious with App Downloads.

Only download banking apps from trusted sources such as the App Store and Google Play.

Avoid accessing sketchy websites masquerading as your bank’s branding.

It is a scam, cleverly disguised.

Watch Out for Phishing LinksBefore logging in, check the website address.

A secure website will start with “https,” which means that all your information is being transmitted encrypted.

Avoid sites that start with “http,” as they have no encryption.

Keep Bluetooth in Check

Bharat Bill Payment System — Turn off Bluetooth and avoid public device pairing to prevent unauthorized access

Turn off Bluetooth when you’re not using it to avoid possible access by hackers in public.

This adds to your defenses against unauthorized access.

Beware of Public Device Pairing

Shop from Reputable Sources — Beware of Public Device Pairing

Be careful when connecting to public devices, such as infotainment systems of rental cars.

These may store your information, thereby leaking your address book or history of the searches you’ve made to scammers.

Stay Vigilant Against Scams

Popular OTP Bypass Techniques Used by Cybercriminals — Mobile banking is easy and convenient, allowing us to access our financial information

Legitimate banks will never ask you for personal information via unsolicited calls or texts.

If someone claiming to be your bank contacts you, hang up and call them directly using a number you trust found on their website or application.

Limit Mobile Banking on Public WiFi

While advancements have improved public WiFi security, it’s still wise to be careful.

If highly concerned, limit mobile banking activities on public networks.

However, keeping your phone’s security updated significantly reduces the risk.

The Importance of Strong, Unique Passwords Your mobile banking app’s first line of defense is a strong, unique password.

Here’s why:

Complexity Matters: Passwords with a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols are much harder for hackers to crack through brute-force attacks.

Uniqueness is Key: Reusing passwords across accounts increases risk.

If a scammer compromises one account, they may target others with the same password.

Avoid the Obvious: Steer clear of easily guessable information like birthdays, pet names, or simple dictionary words.

Hackers often target these common choices first.

While no system is entirely foolproof, following these best practices can significantly enhance the security of your mobile banking experience, allowing you to enjoy convenience without compromising safety.

FAQs

How can I ensure my mobile banking app is secure?

Only download banking apps from trusted sources such as the App Store or Google Play to avoid fraudulent applications.

What should I look for when accessing a banking website?

Ensure the website starts with “https” which indicates a secure, encrypted connection. Avoid websites that start with “http.”

How can I protect my information when using public WiFi?
