Programming / Redhat To Support LTS Versions Of Java by dlux: 4:28am On Apr 24, 2019
Oracle is the company which currently owns and leads the development of the Java language and related tools. Since Java is often used in enterprise environments, developers want new versions of the Java language to be supported for longer periods of time. However, Oracle tends to offer shorter support cycles for Java and this, along with other limitations, has led Red Hatto take over support of Java's long-term support releases. Packt reports: "Yesterday, Red Hat announced that it will serve as a steward of OpenJDK 8 and OpenJDK 11, following the transition from Oracle. 'With this transition', says Red Hat, 'we are affirming our support of the Java community and following a similar path that led to its leadership of both the OpenJDK 6 and OpenJDK 7 projects.' At the end of January 2019, Oracle officially ended free public updates to Oracle JDK for non-Oracle customer commercial users. These users will no longer be able to get updates without an Oracle support contract. Additionally, Oracle has changed the Oracle JDK license (BCPL) so that commercial use for JDK 11 and beyond will require an Oracle subscription."

Gaming / Open Source Version Of Super Mario & Kart Racing Game, Supertuxkart, Released by dlux: 3:44am On Apr 24, 2019
The team behind indie game SuperTuxKart, an open source kart racing game, has finally announced the 1.0 release of the game following 12 years of development. The new update adds support for network races so that you can play with your friends online. Work has been done to better balance gameplay.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lm1TFDBiIIg

The game itself is similar to Mario Kart in that you try to beat opponents in a kart race (in normal race mode) and use items to hinder their efforts. In terms of characters, the game uses mascots from popular open source projects such as Tux the Linux kernel mascot, Gnu the GNU project mascot, and Adiumy the mascot for the instant messenger client Adium.

With the new update, it’s not just simple races that you’ll be able to do online. According to the announcement, various game modes including normal races, time trials, soccer mode, battle mode, and the new Capture-The-Flag mode are all available online. If you do decide to play online, the bandwidth requirements are low even when hosting 10 players, with the developers recommending that you have 1.2 megabits per second to spare.

Some other updates include bug fixes and enhancements to the game in general, which should improve gameplay. There’s also a new track to play dubbed “Ravenbridge Mansion”.

If you've never played it, or if it’s been a long time since you played the game, be sure to check it out as it has gained some nice features in the last couple of years, including entirely new and improved graphics. SuperTuxKart it is available on Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android.

Webmasters / See Features Of Avast New Secure Browser. by dlux: 1:18pm On Apr 18, 2019
Avast has released an updated version of its security-focused web browser, with new features to help you protect your privacy and cover your tracks online.

The new Avast Secure Browser, code named Aspen, includes a tool called Webcam Guard that prevents sites from accessing your computer’s camera, and lets you save preferences for certain websites that you want to grant permission to – a much more convenient and less sticky alternative to tape over the lens.

Cover your tracks using the best VPN 2019
Keep your PC protected with the best antivirus software
Our guide to the best browsers will help you get more from the web
Aspen also includes anti-fingerprinting, which makes it impossible to build up a unique picture of your PC using its hardware and device configurations. This feature appeared in the Beta and Nightly builds of Firefox last week, and we expect to see it in more mainstream browsers soon.

There’s email hack checking as well, which searches for your address in a list of ones released in recent data breaches, and suggests what you should do if your details have been published. Avast also offers an online hack checker, but it’s more convenient having one built right into your browser.

These are in addition to the browser’s existing security tools, including anti-phishing, a dedicated bank mode for sensitive transactions, and Extension Guard, which protects against unwanted plugins.

Private matters
Avast Secure Browser is based on Chromium, and is available to download nowfor Windows 7, 8 and 10.

“In a recent Avast survey of 8,000 people globally, 67% said they felt their privacy and security were threatened by information gathered about their online behavior from websites they visited,“ said William Drewett, senior product manager for Avast Secure Browser.

“With our newest version of Avast Secure Browser, we’ve focused on making it simple and quick for people to protect their privacy online.”

Phones / Huawei P30 Pro Review by dlux: 4:02pm On Apr 10, 2019
The P30 Pro is a statement from Huawei, with the Chinese smartphone manufacturer declaring that its new flagship will "rewrite the rules of photography".

It aims to do that with its quad camera system which offers a 5x optical zoom, 10x hybrid zoom and huge 50x digital zoom, along with bold claims for low-light performance.See all Huawei P30 Pro deals

Elsewhere the P30 Pro packs in the features you'd expect from a modern flagship phone including a premium design, in-display fingerprint scanner, wireless charging, plenty of power under the hood, a big screen and a decent-sized battery.

Huawei has gone from strength to strength in recent years, and the P30 Pro is its most accomplished smartphone to date.

Available now (but not in the US)
Huawei P30 Pro price starts at £899 (AU$1,599) for 128GB model

The Huawei P30 Pro price starts at £899 (AU$1,599, around $1,140), making it one of the most expensive handsets on the market, matching the price of the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus, but it’s cheaper than the iPhone XS Max. In the UK the 512GB Amber Sunrise P30 Pro costs £1,099 (around AU$2,000, $1,400).

As well as Amber Sunrise - aka an orange/red - (exclusive to the 512GB model), the 128GB P30 Pro is available in Breathing Crystal (our light blue/purple review unit), Aurora (a darker blue/purple finish) and Black. In Australia you only get the choice of Breathing Crystal and Aurora, with no 512GB version.

The Huawei P30 Pro is widely available from major carriers and retailers in the UK and Australia, while in those in the US will find it difficult to get hold of as the firm’s handsets aren’t officially stocked in the country.

Design


Premium design with super-slim bezels
Not much grip, but included case helps
In-display fingerprint scanner

The Huawei P30 Pro design has been developed and refined over the handset it’s replacing, the Huawei P20 Pro.

Huawei has stripped back the bezels above and below the screen to the bare minimum, reducing the size of the notch at the top of the display to just what’s required to house the front camera, while at the bottom the fingerprint scanner is embedded in the display, allowing the screen to extend further to the base of the handset.

Setting up fingerprints on the scanner is a little time-consuming, with a number of scans required for each digit you register – we’d recommend both thumbs and forefingers for ease of use. Once set up though, the scanner works with great accuracy and speed.

There’s not much in it, but it felt like the P30 Pro’s scanner was a beat quicker than the one in the Galaxy S10 Plus.

The screen, and the protective Gorilla Glass glass covering it, are now curved, allowing for a slimmer-feeling profile in the hand, and a look which is very similar to that of the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus.

The overall aesthetic is one of premium styling, and as well as looking good it feels classy in the hand.

The Huawei P30 Pro measures 158 x 73.4 x 8.4mm, making it thicker than both the Galaxy S10 Plus and iPhone XS Max, but it feels thinner and narrower than you might expect thanks to the curved edges of the screen and the curved rear glass.

It’s still a large and tall device though (it tips the scales at 192g), and those with smaller hands will struggle to use the P30 Pro one-handed. Even those with larger hands will find it a little tricky to handle, as the all-glass finish provides little in the way of grip.

Huawei appears to be aware of this, sort of, as in some markets it provides a translucent silicone case in the box with the phone, providing some much-needed grip and light protection while not spoiling the design. However, those in the UK won't get this in the box.

Our review unit came in Breathing Crystal, which sees the rear boast a pink/green/blue pearlescent finish which changes with the light. It’s an eye-catching look which was well received by everyone we showed the phone off to.

The case also offers another benefit: it prevents the rear of the P30 Pro getting covered in fingerprints, for which it’s something of a magnet.

There's no headphone jack on the Huawei P30 Pro, which means you’ll either have to get a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter, use a set of headphones with a USB-C connection (a pair of USB-C buds is included in the box) or plump for a wireless set of headphones to listen to audio privately, such as the new Huawei FreeLacewhich launched at the same time as the P30 Pro.

On the base of the P30 Pro a central USB-C port is flanked by a speaker on one side and the SIM tray on the other. The SIM tray can hold two nanoSIM cards, providing dual-SIM capabilities, but you can opt to use the second slot to expand the storage on the handset instead.

The Huawei P30 Pro takes nanoSD cards – this is a new expandable memory format, pioneered by Huawei, which uses cards that are smaller than microSD cards. The cards aren’t readily available, and they are pricey, but Huawei hopes the new format will catch on in the coming years.

On the right side of the phone are the power and volume keys, which fall nicely under thumb or finger, although volume up can be a little bit of a stretch.

Finally, the Huawei P30 Pro comes with an IP68 rating, meaning it’s dust- and water-resistant, and able to withstand being submerged for up to 30 minutes in fresh water.

Display

6.47-inch OLED, 1080 x 2340, 19.5:9 display with 398ppi
Bright, clear and colorful, but not the best on the market
Small notch doesn’t get in the way

The Huawei P30 Pro packs a sizable 6.47-inch OLED display with a 1080 x 2340 resolution, 19.5:9 aspect ratio and 398ppi pixel density.

It produces bright, clear and colorful imagery and text, which makes for an enjoyable viewing experience, although it isn’t the best display on the market.

Many of its flagship rivals have higher-resolution displays, with Samsung, HTC and LG all equipping their top-tier phones with QHD panels, while the Sony Xperia 1 goes a step further with a 4K display.

Even the iPhone XS Max has a higher-resolution screen (1242 x 2688, 458ppi) than the P30 Pro – and Apple has famously not followed the pixel push of its Android rivals over the years.

It’s worth noting, though, that phones such as the new Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus have their displays set to Full HD+ as default when you’re not viewing higher-resolution content, so for the most part the P30 Pro isn’t at much of a disadvantage.

If you do opt to watch a 4K video, or play a graphically intensive game on the highest settings, the quality on the Huawei P30 Pro won’t quite match other handsets; however, it still looks fantastic, and only the highly critical will notice any issue.

We quickly forgot about the notch at the top of the display, as its small size means it fades nicely into the notification bar. There will be some who just don’t like the way it looks, but we didn’t find it intrusive during our time with the P30 Pro.

Yes but YouTube has it own special monetization part for videos where you have to still reach 1000 subscriber n 4000 watch time hours before ads can start showing on ur videos

Getting AdSense acc with You tube is nonsense cos later you will still need to put you domain to see if your website can be approved or rejected

This new Google policy is harsh

I feel your pain bro but all Adsense Accounts require verification and a top level domain is needed. About 1000 subscriber and 4000 hours watch time, it only applies to your YouTube Channel so focus more on your Adsense. Just spice your website with good contents, add google analytics codes, google Adsense code then use social media or popular sites like Nairaland if lucky to push traffic.

SMH. So this one thinks he's EFCC or just an over-sized gay. Gtbens is less than a week old and already ranked. Plus the adsense was recently applied for and will be active by Monday. Who is your teacher? Kiss ass dude. Contribute positively and not with hate or gossip. I bet you are the same guy with different handles causing problems on Nairaland.
