Down is a screenshot to proof that ddjay is another moniker stop this low faculty thinking
He has been on nairaland since 2013 and I knew him in this thread

See how hard you are trying to defend yourself, mr low thinking faculty you are not so bright to deceive people here

To help you walk towards home safely, Google Maps is reportedly planning on adding a new feature to its service to highlight brightly lit streets. Google is said to add a new layer to show the street with lighting to make its users' commute safer. The streets that are lit will be shown in yellow colour to differentiate it from those streets that are dark. The feature was discovered in an APK teardown of the beta version of the app. It is unclear if Google will make it live in the public version.

As discovered by XDA Developers, the new feature called 'Lighting' will help users identify streets that are brightly lit. As mentioned above, the feature will highlight those streets with good lighting with a yellow colour highlight to help users avoid streets with poor or no lighting.

It is expected that the feature will be piloted in India first where women's safety is a national-level issue. This feature is also expected to help those people for their night travels who are unfamiliar with the locality. There is no clarity so far on how Google will collect and update data on lighting on the streets.

Google has been rolling out new features for people who are new to a place or those who are tourists. In November, Google Maps added a new translation feature that allows a phone to speak out a place's name and address in the local lingo in order to help travellers communicate with their hosts. Moreover, for deeper conversations beyond directions and location names, Google Maps will now also link the user directly to the Google Translate app.

Additionally, Google Maps announced a new functionality last month that would let users follow Local Guides for recommendations. After that, the users can see the Local Guide's recommendations on Google Maps. They will be able to find top Local Guides in the For You section of the Google Maps app.

#News Yes, that little smartphone you keep in your pocket has the potential to burst. A lithium-ion battery is the same no matter what device it’s in, and they all carry identical risks.

What are these risks? And how can you reduce them with your phone? That’s what we’re going to explore in this article.

Smartphone Battery Explosions: The Facts
We don’t have a bunch of doom-and-gloom fear-mongering stories for you. Yes, your phone can explode. But no, it’s isn’t likely to happen at all.

Modern lithium-ion batteries—today’s preferred rechargeable batteries for everything from smartphones to Tesla vehicles—have the capacity to be highly explosive.

Have a look at this thermal video of a lithium-ion battery cell under “heat abuse” for two minutes:

The point of explosion is sudden and extremely hot.

But outside of a lab where people apply an extremely hot source to the battery, how do these batteries explode in the real world?

Here is the sequence of events that happen inside a lithium-ion battery before and during an explosion:

One area of the battery starts getting too hot due to a short-circuit in the charging circuit, or some other external cause.
The chemical reaction inside the hot area begins generating its own heat as well, which spreads to other areas in a process known as electrolyte overheat.
Eventually, this building heat causes the electrolyte to give off stream, which bursts the battery casing.
Very flammable, hot liquid (not unlike napalm) escapes and usually burns or melts the surrounding phone casing and whatever the phone is next to.
This reaction, known as “thermal runaway,” does sound pretty horrendous, but there’s one fact that should set your mind at ease: manufacturers are constantly implementing new safety features in lithium-ion batteries that reduce the likelihood of this happening, or at least reduce the damage caused when it does.

Smartphone Battery Safety Features
Some of these safety features include:

Non-flammable additives added to the electrolyte and battery coatings.
Built-in circuitry that protects against current surges.
Circuit interrupt devices that open the circuit if the cell pressure exceeds safe limits.
Fail-safe safety vents that release gases if the cell expands beyond a higher safety limit.
Thermal fuses that break the circuit when temperatures reach a safety limit.
So for a healthy battery installed inside the average phone, the worse-case scenario before the battery ever reaches this nightmare “thermal runaway” scenario is a message that the phone needs to shut down. Or the battery may simply stop working.

Still, there are situations that could still cause a battery to explode.

1. Dropping and Damaging the Battery
As mentioned above, everything will work fine so long as you are dealing with a healthy battery. One problem that can negatively affect a battery’s health is physical damage from drops.

Cracked iPhone

Most people will rush to a local repair center to get their screen repaired when this happens. If the phone still works, they don’t even give a second thought to what damage the battery might have sustained.

Unfortunately, a drop can alter the internal mechanical or chemical structure of the battery. These changes could cause any of the fail-safe circuitry to fail in extreme stress conditions.

How can you tell if a battery might be damaged? Open up the case and take a look at the battery. If any of the following conditions exist, consider replacing it immediately:

Swelling
Deformation
Frequent, unexplainable overheating
In many situations, you can avoid explosive battery failure by paying close attention to signs of existing battery damage. For a smartphone battery to be safe, all its built-in safety features need to function properly. So it’s important to never use a battery that has visible signs of damage.

2. Hot Temperatures and Environments
While there may be safeguards built into your battery to ensure that it sheds excessive heat, or shuts down when too hot, it’s important to keep the battery away from those temperature limits in the first place.

Many elements contribute to your phone naturally heating up. Those include:

Running intensive graphics that put a heavy load on the GPU
Using apps that put too much demand on the CPU
Widgets that run constantly while you’re multitasking with the phone
Regularly connectivity checks when your cellular or Wi-Fi connection is spotty
Long phone calls
Normally any of these uses are fine, but if you’re doing them in an environment that’s extra hot, you could run into trouble. For example, using a phone in direct sunlight at the pool, while listening to Spotify and browsing the web, makes an already straining smartphone struggle to cool itself.

Hot phone by pool

Even if this doesn’t cause the battery to explode, it can contribute to the aging process and make getting long battery life a challenge.

Charging your phone under these conditions can contribute to overheating even further. The phone naturally builds heat during charging.

There are many ways to keep your phone cool and avoid these problems:

Remove the phone from its case when you’re charging it.
Keep the phone out of direct sunlight whenever possible.
Don’t leave your phone in a hot car for extended periods.
Don’t charge the phone while it’s in a pocket or inside a bag, or any other place that can trap heat.
We’ve offered many ways to avoid overheating an Android phone, and tips to keep your iPhone cool. Following these is an important part of being a wise smartphone user.

3. Using the Wrong Charger
I purchased a first-generation Google Pixel when it launched. Not knowing that the Pixel requires a cable with a built-in 56k Ohm resistor conforming to Type C specifications, I grabbed a cheap cable in the checkout line at Walmart to charge it.
READ MORE

I incorrectly assumed all USB-C cables are manufactured the same. The reality is that manufacturers of cheap chargers produce cables that do not always meet specifications required by USB-C devices.

After some time using it, I started noticing my phone became especially hot during charging.

One day when I went to charge my phone in my car, the phone became extremely hot and the charger actually became stuck in the charger port. As I was trying to pull it out, a small puff of smoke came out of the charger port.

I’m lucky I didn’t experience a smartphone exploding in my face.

You can buy non-OEM chargers, but you need to make sure they meet all specifications required by your phone. Cheap knockoff chargers like these use materials with sub-standard quality or an incorrect gauge of wire that lacks appropriate overcurrent protection.

4. Getting Your Phone Wet

Lithium will ignite and burn when in contact with water or water vapor. Batteries come well-sealed, so that kind of contact shouldn’t happen normally.

Many modern phones are waterproof or water-resistant. However, combine a cheap smartphone with a punctured battery, and you’ve got a recipe for disaster.

5. Battery Punctures


Lithium reacts to both water and oxygen, so puncturing a lithium-ion battery will produce a reaction. This could be anything from a little bit of smoke and a terrible smell to a full-on explosion.

And the reaction is rapid.

Obviously, this means there’s always a danger if a smartphone gets punctured during an accident or any other violent situation.

Staying Safe With Smartphone Batteries
It’s important to keep in mind that the battery inside your smartphone has the capacity to become a dangerous hazard under extreme conditions.

So the idea is to avoid those extreme conditions. Store, charge, and treat your smartphone in a way so that should anything ever happen, you are protected from serious injury.

And if you need more battery from your device, consider upgrading to a phone with amazing battery life.

Android fans have been put on alert about terrifying malware that's hidden away in apps for Google's leading mobile OS.

Android is one of the most popular pieces of software in the world, with it used by more than two billion people each month.
However Android users are no strangers to security alerts, with some recent widespread threats being circulated via apps found on the Goole Play Store.

Six Android apps that were downloaded a staggering 90million times from the Google Play Store were found to have been loaded with the PreAMo malware. While another recent threat saw 50 malware filled apps on the Google Play Store infect over 30million Android devices.

And now Android users are being warned once again about a terrifying piece of malware that is targeting users of the Google mobile OS.
Security experts have discovered spyware on Android apps that, at first glance, look just like popular programmes for the Google OS.

However, in actuality these apps are fake and convincing looking versions of popular Android downloads. The surveillance malware was loaded onto fake versions of Android apps such as Evernote, Google Play, Skype Etc.

The fake apps were discovered by Canadian cyber security company Lookout, and the apps were reportedly created by a Russian firm.
The St Petersburg based Special Technology Center had previously been hit by sanctions over the 2016 US election hacks, according to Forbes. Cyber security experts discovered the fake apps stole passwords and also turned Android phones into listening devices.

This was done via the Monokle tool which can record home screens of locked Android phones to steal passwords and eavesdrop on calls. The Android malware has been targeting Google devices since 2016 with a spike in activity early last year.

Lookout said English speakers were among those likely targeted by the Android spyware.
Others believed to have been targeted are those in Caucaus regions and those interested in the Syrian Ahrar al-Sham militant group.

In a blog post Lookout said: Monokle appears in a very limited set of applications which implies attacks using Monokle are highly targeted.

Many of these applications are trojanized and include legitimate functionality, so user suspicion is not aroused. Lookout data indicates this tool is still being actively deployed.

Google have said that none of the fake apps were ever hosted on the official Google Play Store. They added that Android users should receive a warning if Google Play Protect detects the spyware on a device.
