Lenovo's 'all-screen' Z5 phone has a notch too...!!

Image
Lenovo has been hyping up a new phone called the Z5 over the past few weeks, posting sketches and renders that hinted at a truly all-screen design free from bezels and notches. Well, the Z5 just got unveiled in Beijing and... I'm afraid there's bad news. Yep, that's a notch. And a chin at the bottom. The Z5 has a 6.2-inch 19:9 1080p screen with bezels that Lenovo claims are thinner than the Xiaomi Mi 8 and iPhone X, and a notch that is narrower than those two phones. But it still has a notch, like practically every other Android phone this year. Lenovo claims a screen-to-body ratio of 90 percent. Elsewhere, the phone has an unspecified eight-core Qualcomm processor and 16-megapixel dual cameras. The battery is 3,300mAh and can be fast-charged at 18W. On the positive side, the Z5 is pretty cheap at 1,299 yuan (~$200) for a model with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, or 1,799 yuan (~$280) for 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. It'll go on sale in...

Web Terminology

Image
1. Website - Static v/s Dynamic :- Static website Static website is the basic type of website that is easy to create. You don't need the knowledge of web programming and database design to create a static website. Its web pages are coded in HTML. The codes are fixed for each page so the information contained in the page does not change and it looks like a printed page. Dynamic website Dynamic website is a collection of dynamic web pages whose content changes dynamically. It accesses content from a database or Content Management System (CMS). Therefore, when you alter or update the content of the database, the content of the website is also altered or updated. Dynamic website uses client-side scripting or server-side scripting, or both to generate dynamic content. Client side scripting generates content at the client computer on the basis of user input. The web browser downloads the web page from the server and processes the code within the page to render ...

How to Stop LinkedIn From Telling Someone You Viewed Their Profile

Image
LinkedIn often tells people when you view their profiles and shows them your name. That person may even get an email or alert saying you viewed their profile. Here’s how to browse privately without LinkedIn sharing this information. It may seem silly to prefer anonymity on a social network, but other social networks don’t work this way. Facebook and Twitter don’t send someone a notification whenever you view their profile. To find this option, head to the LinkedIn website, click your profile icon on the top bar, and select “ Settings & Privacy .” Click “How others see your profile and network information” under Privacy. Click “Profile viewing options.” Select how you want to appear. You can select “Anonymous LinkedIn Member” for pure private browsing or select your private profile characteristics, which may appear as just “Someone on LinkedIn” or something more specific. People will still see that someone viewed their profile after you view their profile—b...
