Phones / Apple Issues Iphone Security Warning! Update Your Iphone To Ios 17.1.2 Now! by Smartdepotng: 3:56pm On Dec 04, 2023

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNyn-LNCyEU

iPhone users! gather here. There are current security flaws on you iPhone that needs to be fixed
by updating you phone to iOS 17.1.2

Apple has released iOS 17.1.2, along with a warning to update now. That’s because iOS 17.1.2 fixes two iPhone security flaws—both of which are already being used in real-life attacks.

Apple doesn’t give much detail about what’s fixed in iOS 17.1.2, to give iPhone users as much time as possible to update before more attackers can get hold of the details. Both issues fixed in iOS 17.1.2 affect WebKit, the engine that underpins the iPhone maker’s Safari browser.

Phones / How To Recover A Hacked Facebook Account By Yourself by Smartdepotng: 8:10pm On Mar 31, 2023

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jugJvOjL2tM


Many Facebook accounts are still been hacked in 2023. I spent the better part of yesterday chatting and speaking with a Facebook support agent to restore access to a hacked account. In the process, I realised that there are some basic things you should know that will help you recover your Facebook account even when a hacker logs you out or change your password.
If you are ready? Let’s get started!

Okay! Welcome back to Smart Depot.
I don’t want to talk about those that use “iloveyou” as their Facebook password or reuse one password for everything they do online, some of you deserved to be hacked. You can’t be using a poor password in 2023.
That you can longer log into your Facebook account does not mean that you have been hacked, let’s make that clear. Facebook security can log you out of your account for a lot of reasons including you making an unusual comment.
Let’s talk about support! Facebook does not have any support team for personal accounts or profiles, they only have a help page for over 1.5 billion users which can be accessed with the URL facebook.com/help

Here are five things you must know.
#1 Sign into Facebook from a browser on your device. Do this from a mobile browser and computer. Facebook security will classify your device browser as an unrecognised device if you haven’t signed into Facebook even though you are signed in to the Facebook app. I will explain more about this very important secret in number 5 so, stick around for that.


#2 Primary Email address and phone number must be online always. You should also turn on login notifications to be sent to your mobile number. The earlier you know when someone gains access to your Facebook account, the better your chances of recovering it. So, always be alert

#3 Your Facebook profile URL. Your profile URL is a combination of Facebook.com/your username. Please note that Your Facebook profile username is different from your Facebook name. You can see your profile username name from the mobile app by going to settings, Meta account centre, profiles, select the profile you want to see and click on the username. From a browser, just log into Facebook, click on your profile icon and you will see your username in the URL immediately after facebook.com/
You'll need your profile username or URL if you want to escalate to the Facebook ads support team. If you don't know your profile URL or username, no Facebook support agent will be able to help you

#4 if you read up to this point, check out #4 and #5 in the video by watching it. To for thanks...

CodeTemplar:
Point two isn't clear and as for the last point about 1 terabyte cap. It may be there and you won't know until more users join the pool.
Network speed is easy. Use speed test websites like fast dot com or speedtest to check it. 1 Terabyte cap isn't bad and you won't be completely disconnected but reduced speeds after that

Starlink all day any day, Mtn 5g that u will subscribe monthly subscription 2times a week cause it will have finish in 3 to 4days, so if u do that calculation of how much u spending in a month, it more than how much u will pay for starlink unlimited monthly plan, a lot of your friends and families can connect and burn the data as much as they want it won’t finish..... but if you are in Lagos island to be precise I will suggest tizzeti, it’s super fast also and is unlimited also and the monthly sub is just 10k
Tizeti seems good in Lagos but they showed me Shege Pro Max in Port Harcourt. 1st they only do 5Mbps wireless fibre for residential after I paid ₦50K for installation then (2021) and the speed is not always optimal. Not many places had their fibre option. It was my colleague that came from Lagos that recommended it.
However, I currently use NGcom network in Ph ans they are better (up to 15mbps) wireless fibre and 45mbps for wired fibre for residential if your area is covered.

Phones / Starlink Vs Mtn 5g - Which Should You Get? 7 Things You Must Know by Smartdepotng: 8:47pm On Mar 23, 2023

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVW-CZK00Bk

7 Seriously considering before choosing Starlink or MTN 5G.
For those who do not have data to watch the video, here you go.


#1 Strong Network Coverage:
Starlink beats MTN 5G hands down here as it has strong coverage from lower space satellites orbiting about 550 kilometres above sea level all over Nigeria. Strong Coverage is a weak point for 5G because of poor penetration when inside a building. So, I am giving this round to Starlink

#2 Network Speeds.
MTN 5G rips Starlink to shreds at network speeds. You could get ten times the download speeds of Starlink with MTN 5G but that doesn't tell the whole story as you see soon in this Video. However, the upload speed on Starlink is the biggest shortcoming. If you ever intend to upload a lot of content to the internet or social media, do not go for Starlink, you will regret it. If you do more downloads, Netflix and chill, it's still a great option. Nevertheless, I'll give this round to MTN 5G

#3 Weather conditions. Smaller satellite dishes Transmits with the Ku band and just like dstv, Starlink's signal drops drastically when there is a strong rain cloud or heavy rain. Although Starlink uses Ku and Ka Bands, both are susceptible to rain fade during heavy rainfall. If you live in a city where it rains frequently, do not go for Starlink to avoid unnecessary frustration. Technically, weather conditions shouldn't impact strongly on 5G Network but when it rains heavily in Port Harcourt, MTN 5G speeds drop but not as bad as Starlink. so MTN 5G wins this round.

#4 Mobility.
Although Starlink can be installed anywhere in Nigeria, there is a 15 miles radius of geofencing once your Satellite has locked on the signal on the residential plan - which, by the way, is the only plan available in Nigeria. Starlink has other plans like Business, Roam, Martine and Aviation that are way more expensive and have bigger bandwidth than the Residential plan. Starlink has to be plugged into AC power to work and that goes further to hurt mobility. If there is MTN 5G coverage, you can move around with your phone or router and still get a 5G connection. So, MTN has this round.

#5 Shared Network | Stability | Latency | Peak Hours Performance

If you watched to this point a sub to the channel will be Satisfying! So click on that subscribe button and turn on the notification bell icon to get more videos like this.
Back to round 5, both MTN 5G and Starlink share similar latency so it won't be a deal breaker even for gamers. Both are shared networks so, there is no 99% guaranteed bandwidth. However, Starlink will give you a higher % of guaranteed bandwidth because of fewer users in Nigeria and better capacity. At Peak hours, MTN 5G speeds can drop by 50 - 70%. So yes, Starlink wins this round

#6 Cost and Value
The cost of Getting an MTN 5G router at ₦50K is Ten times cheaper than getting a Starlink kit. You can even enjoy 5G if you already own a 5G Phone but let's talk about Value. Thanks to Fisayo’s latest video about Starlink in Nigeria, It's now been confirmed, at least for now, that there is no 1 Terabyte data cap on Starlink Nigeria but even if there is, Starlink brings more value to high-end and power users. There is something liberating about using an unlimited data network - You can do so much more! So, if you consider that average users can get more value from MTN while Power users will get more value from Starlink, I'll call this round a tie.

#7 Customer service and support.
For me, MTN customer service is still garbage but Starlink customer service is none existent in Nigeria and that is a very big problem. A Nigerian Tech Content Creator Oscar had this to say about Starlink experience.
If you intend to use any network for longer periods, you must consider the support and customer service. So I'll give this round to MTN 5G

Conclusion!
MTN won 4, Starlink won 2 and one round was a tie. There is no winner or loser in this contest, it depends on your network preferences.

Phones / Want To Move Your Video Creation From Phone To Entry-level Video Camera? by Smartdepotng: 12:52pm On Oct 20, 2022

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqcu3JzvKOs

If you want to move your video content creation to the next level from your phone, these two cameras are the best most popular mirrorless video cameras for vlogging and content creation.

The big problem is, how do you choose between these two great cameras. Which one is best for you? Well, here I'm going to explain how to pick the one that best suits the type of content you are making and this is the secret to clearing the confusion. You are supposed to pick the camera that best suits what you want not the best camera out there to this way the confusion is cleared.

Let me start with this Sony a6400 this camera is superb the 4K quality coming out from this camera is done sampled from 6K and if you can add a good lens it becomes mind-blowing.

However when it comes to creating content especially for social media, 4K is not everything. As a matter of fact, the burden of doing everything 4K will weary you way faster than you can imagine.

And this is where the Canon M50 to comes in this guy shoots a great 1080p videos and the utility the touchscreen the easy menu put all this thing together the colour science from Canon makes it a beauty a beauty to behold.

You can just shoot the content straight from this camera and upload it without the need for the colour grading or tweaking and that seems a lot of time. In the video I explained this so you might want to check that out to get the full details of how to select the best camera for you

That sounds like magic right? No it's not! It's just a simple trick.

You may already know that you can extend your WhatsApp to your PC or Mac browser and chat from your computer. Unfortunately, WhatsApp web doesn't give you options for voice or video calls.

After WhatsApp introduced linked devices each of the linked devices can function independently of the WhatsApp in your phone
To make it better WhatsApp desktop app got some upgrades that enable them to make both voice and video calls. So with WhatsApp desktop app whether you're using it on Mac or PC, you can now make voice and video calls.
So here is the fun part, you can make two different WhatsApp video call at the same time from the WhatsApp app in your phone and the linked device with WhatsApp desktop app for PC or Mac.

I bought it. It shipped from abroad and delivered in about two weeks.
It looked nice but I was skeptical and I tested it thoroughly! After a month of usage, I made this review with my full chest!
The NUU A5L+ is a solid buy and I haven't been this impressed which a very cheap Android phone before now.
This is not promotional because I bought it with my money and I wasn't paid for the Review. I felt it will be nice to share my experience.

Today's Tech Insight brings 7 shocking facts about Facebook that you didn't know.

For those who do not like long story. (if you like the full details watch the video)

It is written in their policy document that nobody reads. And yes, you can be banned from Facebook if they suspect that you are opening double accounts as the same person.

#2 No live support for Personal Facebook accounts. No technical support, no phone support, no live chat support all, you have is a help page.

#3 Robots are the first line moderators (using Artificial Intelligence) to know when you violate even the slightest of Facebook community standards. Be sure not to raise your vawulence banter high on Facebook as the robots � can easily flag your account.

Make sure that all your pages have at least 2 Admin.

#6 Off-facebook Activities. Facebook continues to track your activities on other websites and apps and collect data of all you do in other apps.

While the former heat and get swollen batteries the latter made with UniSoc 7331e absorb heat and much more effective in utilizing the battery. NOKIA corrected it with the C1 second edition.

I did a lot of test and compared it to other processors, I was surprised how it handled sustained performance during hot temperatures. I just wish OEMs give it a better GPU

I called you out because others might decide to do that without asking...
By the way I don't understand what you mean by fake name and account.. but if u must know, or trying to question my integrity, friends call me Richy..and that was what I used when I registered in 2011, in 2013, Nairaland crashed for a week or so and when it was restored, the system generated 4 that I know nothing about.. that was how the 4 was attached..

I am glad however that u have put disclaimer.. anyways..
I added disclaimer so that people who don't know me or what smartdepotng stands for won't misinterpret me. Technology is amoral so, Smartdepotng won't be held responsible for how people who learn some tech tricks choose to use it.

A Nigerian will always be a Nigerian... With a crazy I don't care / it doesn't matter attitude..

People may have trusted u, and paid you for the services that you rendered...And in return you were helping yourself because u know the passwords.. can you swear that they all knows that you were using their account?

That is a criminal offence man.. u can be jailed for that... Just imagine bankers helping themselves with the money they helped clients to open in their organisation... Because they got all the banking details...

Desist from it.. Because Your skills might take U abroad someday and u forgot where u are.. by the time u know it, u are already serving 5yrs...

I just added some disclaimers in the post because of people like you who will skip all the good things and focus on conjectures.
Let me answer some of your assumptions...

First, I am a proud Nigerian ��
I work hard every single day to do the right thing.
I teach people how to get the best out of Tech.

I have activated mine DSTV Now over 2 years ago did a video and did a giveaway of my own account just to help or put a smile on someone face out there. (You can check my YouTube channel for that)

I have activated for up to 10 persons and they all know that I have access to the account because I do so with their consent. Oh, the part you are very ignorant about is that DSTV NOW streaming comes with a lot of issues and errors too. Unfortunately, DSTV doesn't have support for the Streaming service like they do for decoders.
I help fix errors like PER, SNA, GEHF, and more errors. About a year ago, I made a video about it and till date, it is still the only video on YouTube that addresses Fix DSTV Now Streaming error codes. DSTV should be paying me for becoming their online technical support
but I do so because I love to teach and help.
I couldn't have been able to help that much if the people I helped activate their account didn't report some errors to me and asked if I could help fix them.

WHY I am saying all these? So you, Richy4, who opened your Nairaland account with a fake name do not go about accusing people who you don't know based on assumptions and asking them to swear.
And secondly, not all Nigerians are bad.
If you would like to know more about @smartdepotng, we use the same name everywhere - YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

You seem to skip the the part I said You should Ask Friends and Family who has DSTV to let you help them activate DSTV Now - that is Consent and there is no criminality in that. But you are here profiling me because I am Nigerian ��
Did you even watch the video?
To set up DSTV Now, it requires OTP sent to the registered email or phone number before you can set it up so, you cannot have DSTV NOW without the owners consent in the first place. I do a lot of Tech Tips and Tricks. The tip here is simple:

#1 Ask nicely (as I said in the video) or help set up the DSTV NOW streaming as request if you can use or try it from your device. If you don't give your consent as the owner, nobody will use your DSTV - the process is secure and as the owner you can remove every device or even change the password as it is only the authorised person can.

#2 If you have relatives, friends or family who use DSTV, ask them if they can help you with the streaming service - the service is lying waste and most people who are used to watching in the big screen won't bother to watch on phones.

Finally, please tell me what's criminal about asking nicely?

Secondly:
Instead of encouraging people to work hard and get their own DSTV, you are busy teaching them how to leech forever.

What if you want to watch something and the person who you are leeching on didn't subscribe to DSTV?

If I am trying to set up my own DSTV now app on my phone and I discover that someone is already there leeching off me without my approval, you don't think I'm gonna yank the person off with immediate effect?
Get your own DSTV, then Get ShowMax, then get Netflix, then get Amazon Prime and then Get Hulu? The list never ends. I am not encouraging leeching, I am encouraging Maximal utility! If you live in Nigeria, ask about 10 persons who have DSTV Decoder if they have activated DSTV now in their phones? Majority haven't and that is either ignorance or under-utilitizing of what they have...
It can be useful to others say students who don't have money. And yes, I am encouraging those who don't have enough money to ask their friends to give them access to DSTV NOW or help them set it up.
If someone helped you set up DSTV, You won't need to set it up again. And yes, you can remove them or change the password if you are the owner but if you already have enough money to watch it on Your large TV and big generator, why would you be that mean not to let others who may not be able to afford it watch if they can buy data for it?
I am not a motivational speaker who encourages people to make money, I create Tech awareness and educate people on the use of Technology and that's what I've done here.

Let me start with the spoilers - You know you have to buy DSTV decoder, pay for a subscription package, have a TV to connect it to and possibly have generator in case NEPA take light abi? All these cost money naw?

Of course! It cost money to watch DSTV in the first place so, your title is deceiving abi?

Okay.
Now! Let's get started because I'll unveil some of my secrets here. I have DSTV, I use unlimited WiFi (Air Fibre) as a YouTuber, it helps my work but the things I am about to share now ( some of which I didn't say in the video) can help someone out there...
Disclaimer: This is for Tech Educational purposes only! Do not activate DSTV NOW for others with the intent so steal their login details. Humble yourself and ask the owners to share with you or ask for their consent to use the streaming service. DSTV allows up to 4 devices to be used in the same account so, they are not losing anything by adding you.
Before we continue, you need to watch the 3+ minutes above so you can learn how to set up DSTV Now streaming on the app or PC. It's very simple.

Setting up DSTV on phone requires three basic things:
#1 A smartcard number (DSTV Account)
#2 Phone number and/or Email linked to the DSTV ACCOUNT
#3 Any working email or Phone number.

The above requirements means that you have DSTV abi? But relax, you are about to learn a very useful skill this new football season...

If you have DSTV, you can do the set up as I showed in the video but, HOW ABOUT THOSE THAT DON'T HAVE DSTV but want to do this?

Well, you are going to become a DSTV now activator!
Start helping people who have DSTV decoder to set up their DSTV NOW in their phone or laptop and when you are done, as them if they can allow you watch from your phone. Ask Nicely and make sure you do that with their consent to avoid problems in the future
Simple! If you help them activate it, you are the one that will create the username (Phone or Email) and the Password (always keep it simple) so they can easily remember it.
[s] Once it is activated, you can use the username and password to sign in with your own phone and watch all the channels that the Dstv account (Smart card) is subscribed to. [/s] Disclaimer: Make sure you get the consent of the owner before adding it to your phone simply the owner can remove you and change the password and if you do it without consent it could bring potential problems.
You can add up to 4 smartphone devices to one DSTV NOW account and can stream on two devices simultaneously (Which they stopped or reduced to one device at a time March 2022) but in most cases, people who have DSTV decoders love to watch on TV.

So, the more people you activated for and get their consent to use the streaming, the more chances of having an account to always watch. I'll advice you look out for friends, uncles and Aunties that subscribe better packages and subscribe regularly because, and ask nicely if you can activate for them or share with them if they already have it set up because premier league is around the corner.

WHY USE DSTV STREAMING (DSTV NOW)?

First, DSTV Now uses internet connection and doesn't stop showing during heavy rain.

Secondly, you can download movies, programs or TV shows and watch them later.
Then there is catch up too. Where I watch all the football highlights and WWE RAW, Smackdown, UFC and lot more.

I had the privilege of setting up DSTV Now for a lot of people with my phone and also help out with technical stuff like fixing some error codes. I do save the password as I activate them and I soon realized that there are quite some number of accounts I can login to and watch.

So, that how I watch dstv nowadays. Most of the people I activated for know that I do have the DSTV now activated in my phone but they really don't care since they are used to watching with their decoder connected to TV.

The good news is, most modern Smart TVs come with DSTV NOW app. All you need is to sign in with the username and password or in some cases, get the code to login to Tav from the DSTV NOW app settings from your phone.

Finally, You can choose the stream quality from:
216p ~ 100Mb/hour
360p ~ 210Mb/hour
576p ~ 720Mb/hour
720p ~ 1.3Gb/hour
1080p ~ 2.3Gb/hour

This is the best part for those on limited data. You can choose 360p on your phone and watch a full Premier League match with less than 500Mb. The good part is that most GSM Networks have some crazy good weekend data plans. This is another way to Utilize say something like Glo 3Gb for ₦500 weekend plan (Sat/Sun).

Okay, if you read to this point, you deserve an award.

You never said a new processor or two new processor from Unisoc is/are taking over the android midrange market wink
To him that brain is given, sense is expected...
A New Android Phone Processor but your brain seems to skip the "Android Phone" which is the descriptive subject of the processor.
Most likely that you haven't used A Bionic Processors on iPhones...
