Destructive Message - ‘Black dot of death’ is even worse in iPhone than Android

By
Image
A few days ago, we could have seen the message that can kill the WhatsApp app on Android phones. The gist of it is pretty simple: the string of code contains a couple thousand invisible characters in addition to a black dot emoji, and that’s what causes the WhatsApp to go unresponsive. Well it turns out the same Unicode bug “works” on iPhone, but it’s even worse for iOS device users. On Android, the black dot only freezes WhatsApp if you tap it. Once the app becomes unresponsive, all you have to do to fix it is to kill the app and restart it. On iPhone and iPad, however, things are a lot worse. It’s enough to crash the Messages app on any iOS that receives it. The victim doesn’t even have to tap on the incoming emoji to trigger the crash. Closing the app won’t even fix the problem. You’ll have to delete the message in order to restore functionality to your Messages app. But to do that, you’ll either have to log into a different device and delete the entire thread. A second fi

Getting Back To Blogging Techkish After Long Break

By
Image
Hello fellas, this blog post is after a long eight month break. I left my so-called ‘baby’ for so long due to many reasons – work, holidays, exhaustion and most of all, lack of self-motivation. And I quickly realized motivating yourself to keep on  blogging  is not the hardest part.  Coming back with “bags of enthusiasm”, new ideas, and most of all – grasping the fact that your own work has been left out there for so long was the most difficult thing. I had this weird feeling of guilt that I failed myself, my ‘own thing’ wasn’t going to be successful and so cool anymore. Keep in touch with TECHkish - lets get back in further posts

Google's Go wins the most popular programming language of 2016 award

By

    Hey Fellas, Google's Go was 2016's programming language of the year, says the  TIOBE Index   , a highly-regarded resource for ranking the popularity of programming languages. While the TIOBE Index only catalogues the relative popularity of programming languages via search engines, not how often they're acutally used in real life, it's a handy tool for figuring out what skills to learn if you're chasing a career in technology. Every year, this award goes to "  the programming language that has gained the most popularity in a year." And "w ithout hardly any competition Go has won the award for 2016," TIOBE writes. Plus, TIOBE says that among its paying customers, it's seeing more interest in Go in industrial settings. Since 2009, Google has been overseeing the community-led development of Go - a programming language aimed at helping web developers build apps at Google's scale and Google's speed, with a focus on roc

Cyanogen Wanted To Kill Google's Android, But Instead Killed Itself ,Lineage OS is the future

By
Image
   Hey Fellas , Alas !!! There will be no further updates to the CyanogenMod  OS, no more nightly builds and no further security updates. Cyanogen, the company responsible for the commercialisation of CyanogenMod is to cease all operations by the end of 2016. Phones that run the OS, like the original OnePlus handset, will need to switch to the Open Source version of the OS. The company had some success selling its OS to manufacturers like WileyFox and OnePlus that lacked the resources to build their own customised Android interfaces. And it's true to say that the mod, in its early form, was the go-to build for people who wanted more features than Android offered in the Google build. Sadly, the most high-profile customer OnePlus pulled the plug and moved to its own build of Android called OxygenOS. The open source project upon which Cyanogen was based can, and probably will, continue. The big problem it now faces is the same as any Android mod, namely time and resources.

Google Project Zero : Google Will Pay $200,000 To Anyone Who Can Hack Nexus 6P And 5X

By

           Hello hackers !! Google wants to pay you money. Quite a lot, in fact. The top prize for finding a new critical flaw in Android in the new  Project Zero Prize competition  is a whopping $200,000, with the second prize at $100,000 and $50,000 split among additional entrants. The contest is being run by  Project Zero , the company's own internal team of security researchers that documents critical flaws and bugs in wide-reaching software.           But be aware,In order to be eligible, participants must find "a vulnerability or bug chain that achieves remote code execution on multiple Android devices knowing only the devices’ phone number and email address." That's a tall order, though it says that the researcher only needs to  know  the phone number and/or email address, not necessarily that they're limited to a dialer or email app as a point of insertion. Note that, because of the limitations in the contest, it's possible that no one will win i

Google Is Now An Adult !! Clebrates Its 18th Birthday Today - Amid Some Confusion Over The Correct Date

By

      Hello Buddies !! Google is now an Adult !! Heee Heee ...... The tech giant is celebrating its 18th birthday with a  festive, balloon-filled Doodle  by artist  Gerben Steenks , because when you're one of the world's biggest internet companies, it's your party and you can GIF if you want to.        Google is celebrating its birthday on September 27, and has done since 2006, but no one quite knows why  not even Google . In 2005, it celebrated its birthday on September 26, and in 2004 and 2003 respectively, the date was September 7 and September 8.          But the first Google birthday Doodle in 2002, to celebrate the company's fourth birthday, also went live on September 27. Yet there is nothing in Google's history to indicate any of these dates are important. Larry Page and Sergey Brin registered the Google domain on September 15, 1997, and the company was incorporated on September 4, 1998.      Whatever its actual birthday (and September 27 see
