"Extra Large Alipay" is here, use a small program to lock the car, buy it with the car

On April 27, Alipay and Xiaopeng Automobile announced a strategic cooperation. Alipay applet is fully interoperable with the car system of Xiaopeng car. In the future, you can use the Alipay applet on Xiaopeng car; you can also use the "online 4S shop" applet on Alipay to test drive and buy a car; you can also use Xiaopeng The applet remotely calls the onboard service to check mileage, doors, windows and charging status, lock and unlock.

This is not a "vehicle Alipay", but a car with various ecological capabilities of Alipay. Alipay calls it a "digital travel model car". The P7 brought by the cooperation between Alipay and Xiaopeng is the second model car, and the first is the Roewe RX5 PLUS in cooperation with SAIC.

The car becomes a mobile phone, "Alipay travel model car" also came

Ten years ago, when we saw the release of the iPhone 4, we would never have thought that the "wisdom" factor in this phone would have such a far-reaching impact.

Nowadays, we want to put the word wisdom in front of more nouns, put a variety of technologies on larger utensils, and want to make more things smart. Smart cities, smart government affairs, smart cars ... We want everything to be smarter, more accessible, and more accessible.

Check for violations, pay fuel, raise chickens, grow trees, manage money on Alipay. Five years ago, no one thought that this could happen in the car-not in the car with a mobile phone, but in the car Do it all directly with Alipay.

Three days ago, Alipay, SAIC Group and Zebra Network announced that they will jointly create a digital "travel model car" in the 5G era to help the automotive industry and users travel digital. Like Xiaopeng, this cooperation also allows millions of Alipay applets to be moved from the mobile phone to the car, and users can enjoy Alipay's series of life services through voice control.

These features will be available for the first time on the SAIC Roewe RX5 PLUS released in May. The 35 Alipay applets on the first phase of the car covered transportation, audio-visual entertainment and leisure shopping.

The car owner can wake up the corresponding Alipay applet by touch, voice or gesture. At the same time, the Alipay applet has been deeply integrated with the vehicle system scenes and maps, and the applet can actively trigger services through scene recognition.

Alipay portrays a typical user scenario for us: after the user reserves a dinner through the Alipay applet on the mobile phone, the user can get the car's automatic navigation to the destination service when he gets in the car. Users can also make reservations directly in the car. If there is traffic congestion, the applet can also actively remind the user if he needs to delay the reservation time by half an hour according to the arrival time, making the service smarter.

If the traffic jam is too serious, you can also cancel the reservation directly, and the Alipay catering-related applet may also be able to provide meal reservations based on user taste preferences. When reaching the destination, the system can automatically wake up the small program and recommend the nearest parking lot for the user. After getting off the car, the in-vehicle applet can also be seamlessly connected to the mobile phone, and users can view information such as appointments on the mobile applet.

The same as "find service", the small program is very important

In travel scenarios, from "people looking for services" to "services looking for people", small programs and scenarios play a key role. In the future, they will continue to open up the ecosystem and explore innovative user experiences with more travel service providers.

He Yongming, vice president of Ant Financial and general manager of Alipay's Open Ecology Business Unit, said that travel will also be one of the daily needs of Alipay users.

The "service to find people" is basically the goal of most car companies' system services. In terms of the vehicle's WeChat released last year, it can also quickly initiate navigation directly based on positioning, thereby skipping the tedious steps of unlocking the phone, finding contacts, setting the positioning, and placing the phone. It has become an intelligent carrier, just like the voice assistant in your mobile phone and IOT appliances at home, which can help you shorten the path and reach your goal directly.

▲ "Services to find people" is the goal of Internet car company cooperation

The only difference is that this intelligent carrier is too large, has four wheels, and weighs a few tons.

But outside of the big guys, these car enterprise system services are using "small" tools to serve the "big" scene.

The gadget of Tencent car networking is called small scene. We can think of it as a "car-machine version applet", which is very similar to the applet, without the need to download and install, it can be updated and launched in the cloud to achieve "active wake-up" based on voice and scene. As long as the developer has a small program foundation, it can be released as a small scene of Tencent with a simple transformation, while supporting access to Tencent's internal and external ecological resources.

Alipay directly moved its own small program to the car without changing the naming. Although this small program needs a certain transformation to get on the car, we can actually think of Tencent's small scene and Alipay's small program as similar things. They are all mature services on the mobile phone, and after certain modifications, they can glow in another scene.

Just as Alipay applets have already opened up multi-end scenarios such as Tmall, Taobao, Dingding, Gaode, Sina Weibo, etc., the applets of WeChat, QQ, QQ browser can also be completed to a certain extent. First choice for providing services in different scenarios.

Through the adaptation and modification of the usage scenarios, plus the particularity of the service-bearing tool, the in-vehicle version of the applet may be better than the mobile version in terms of "service finding people".

What is the difference between this "extra large" Alipay compared to on-board WeChat

Car WeChat and "Alipay Travel Model Car" have a lot in common. They all chose the road of pre-installation networking, and the car has been installed with connected vehicles and other connected vehicles before leaving the factory; they all rely on "small programs" to provide more extended services, although the two are named differently; they both Want to "service find people", use scene recognition to match services; they do not provide all the functions in the car version, but only select some services to provide.

And the current public information also allows us to understand the difference between vehicle-mounted WeChat and "Alipay Travel Model Car".

• Different functions
• Different ways of interaction
• Active trigger service is different

As a social tool, in-car WeChat is more inclined to communicate in the scene in the car. Full voice interaction, through voice control, allows the driver to speak and control WeChat; when new messages are received, the voice assistant will broadcast the current content; when receiving WeChat calls, we can also say "answer" or "hang up" To choose the operation; we can use voice to directly find the contact and initiate a chat.

Replying to information and keeping in touch is a very important function of the vehicle's WeChat. But Alipay does not have the social attributes of WeChat, so the communication of the scene is not their focus, and the provision of services is their focus. According to the known procedures, the 35 mini-programs launched on the first "Alipay Travel Model Car" cover transportation, entertainment, e-commerce and many other aspects.

The interaction between the two is also different. Car WeChat interacts with the WeChat custom buttons on the Changan CS75 Plus through voice The "Alipay travel model car" interaction method is more abundant, the official said there are multiple interaction methods of touch, voice, gestures.

▲ WeChat custom button on Changan CS75 Plus

The last point is the ability to actively trigger services provided by the "Alipay Travel Model Car". The scene depicted on the vehicle's WeChat is based on positioning to quickly initiate navigation, and the current realistic capabilities of "Alipay Travel Model Car" include scene recognition to actively trigger services.

Since the Alipay model car SAIC Roewe RX5 PLUS has not yet been released, we can't yet judge what is the difference between this and WeChat's quick launch of navigation. However, from the official information given by the two, Alipay has more trigger service scenarios, including ranking appointments, parking navigation, appointment information display and other functions.

It is worth mentioning that this is not the only option for Ali to get on the car. At present, there are many different modes of cooperation between Ali and car companies.

The cooperation between AliOS and SAIC is based on the general framework of Alipay applet to make the vehicle system AliOS, the service ecosystem of the system and Alipay applet is opened; and the mode of cooperation between Ali and Xiaopeng is the Android system of Xiaopeng car on Alipay applet , Users can remotely control the car through the Xiaopeng Alipay applet.

There is also the "Alipay Travel Model Car". Xiaopeng's communication between the mini program and the vehicle-mounted system is part of the "Model Car". However, the "Alipay travel model car" can be larger. It is a solution for Alipay to open its auto capabilities to car companies. It can provide different product capabilities for small programs, payment, and security according to different car scenarios.

It can only be said that Internet companies and car companies are already making more attempts to get services on board.

YouTube bans comments on all videos of children

YouTube says it will switch off comments on almost all videos featuring under-18s, in an attempt to "better protect children and families".

Several brands stopped advertising on YouTube after discovering that paedophiles were leaving predatory comments on videos of children.
YouTube had originally disabled comments on videos that were attracting predatory and obscene comments.
But it will now disable comments on almost all videos of minors by default.
It said the change would take effect over several months.

What was happening?

The BBC first reported that paedophiles were leaving explicit comments on YouTube videos back in 2017.
As well as leaving obscene or sexual comments, they were also using the comments section to signal content of interest to other paedophiles.
At the time, YouTube said it was "working urgently" to clean up the site.
However, in February this year advertisers including AT&T, Nestle and Hasbro suspended their ads after more predatory activity was found.

What has YouTube announced?

In a blog post, YouTube said its new policy meant videos of very young children would automatically have the comments section disabled.
The move is likely to include videos of toddlers uploaded by parents, as well as short films featuring children by established YouTube stars.
Videos of older children and teenagers will typically not have the comments disabled, unless a specific video is likely to attract predatory attention. That could include, for example, a video of a teenager doing gymnastics.
YouTube told the BBC it would use algorithms to detect which videos contained children.
Millions of hours of footage are uploaded to YouTube every day.

When will comments be permitted?

A small number of YouTube content creators will be allowed to enable comments on videos featuring children.
These channels will be trusted partners such as family video-bloggers or known YouTube stars.
However, they will be required to actively moderate their comments and demonstrate that their videos carry a low risk of attracting predatory comments.

YouTube said it had developed a system that was better at detecting predatory comments and removing them.
Previously, it had said it would stop video-makers earning ad revenue if paedophiles left explicit comments on their videos, but this will no longer be necessary.

What further action is being taken?

In addition to updating its comments policy, YouTube said it had terminated several channels that were "endangering" children.
The ban included several channels that were adding shocking content in the middle of children's cartoons.
It named FilthyFrankClips as one of the banned channels. It had released a video instructing children how to cut themselves.
"Nothing is more important to us than ensuring the safety of young people on the platform," said YouTube chief executive Susan Wojcicki on Twitter.
YouTube's app for children - YouTube Kids - has been criticised for using algorithms to curate content. Inappropriate videos have repeatedly been discovered on the service.

How have creators responded?

The comments left by fans on YouTube videos help the platform's algorithms decide which videos to serve up and recommend to viewers.
Creators have expressed concern that being forced to disable comments on their videos will affect the growth of their channels.
Despite the wide-ranging new policy, comments will remain part of the recommendation algorithm.
"We understand that comments are an important way creators build and connect with their audiences," YouTube said in a statement. "We also know that this is the right thing to do to protect the YouTube community."
Andy Burrows from the child protection charity NSPCC said the announcement was an "important step".
"We know that offenders are twisting YouTube videos for their own sexual gratification, using them to contact other predators and using the comments section as shop window to child abuse image sites," he said.
However, he called for an "independent statutory regulator" that could "force social networks to follow the rules or face tough consequences".

Does Smartphone Radiation Cause Cancer? Must Read

Does using a mobile phone result to cancer or other diseases? Scientists have been arguing for a long time. To clarify the facts, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) asked the National Institutes of Health's National Toxicology Program to launch a special study.

According to the British "Daily Mail" reported on February 3, the National Institutes of Health National Toxicology (NTP) program was first published on February 2, a large-scale research report, alleging cancer and cell phone radiation related.

 

The report showed that in addition to a rare heart disease in 6% of male rats exposed to mobile phones, preliminary findings did not reveal the potential risks of other cancers. But researchers in the field warned that the discovery sparked a "worrying area."

Smartphones and other wireless devices emit a small amount of low-frequency microwave radiation when connecting to the network and transmitting information. This energy is far less powerful than ultraviolet radiation or X-ray energy, but new research has further confirmed that even microwave radiation can cause health problems at high doses.

In this multi-million dollar study, NTP researchers placed mice and mice in high-level radiation for up to 18 hours a day and alternated every 10 minutes. When a mobile phone tries to connect to a weak network signal or transmits a large amount of information, the radiation will proliferate.

Experts warn that it is these different exposures that pose a safety hazard to mobile devices.

John Bucher, co-author of the study, said: "Our final findings are the same as those we published in 2016." Early detection and later studies have shown that there is a history of cardiac schwannomas in mice. "Significant differences in data."

From a statistical point of view, the incidence of other cancers is no higher than the prevalence of the rats expected by the researchers, as the larger the animals are more sensitive to radiation. The latest findings of NTP have not been formally reviewed, but Dr. Bucher said, “This research is crucial because they give us a starting point for exploring new areas.”

Android Phone Apps are Secretly Leaking your Privacy to Third Parties

    American scientists have discovered that some Android phone programs are secretly taking photos and videos on smartphones and sending them to third parties.

     According to the Gizmodo website, a group of scientists at Northeastern University in Boston experimented to determine if an application had recorded the user's call. It is reported that in one year, they have studied more than 17,000 of the most popular Android applications, including those belonging to the social networking site Facebook and sending Facebook data.
    During the study, the researchers used different equipment. Scientists have not found instances where the application secretly turns on the microphone and transmits audio data. But they found that some programs took photos and videos that users made on their phones and passed the data to third parties. In some cases, the video contains personal information that has already been entered. Researchers point out that users don't always know that their behavior is being recorded because it is not stated in the "Privacy Policy" in a series of procedures.

Google will not release fix for KRACK threat before December

Last month we saw a new and serious threat to all Wi-Fi enabled devices. This was known as KRACK and being something that directly affects any Wi-Fi connection, this means that any Android smartphone is also affected. As such, we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of a fix for the problem by Google. When KRACK was known, the Mountain View company made it known that it would be this November that the vulnerability would be fixed. In fact, all indicators were that November 6, 2017, security update would make Android smartphones immune to this new threat.

However, with the release of the security update in question, we know that Google has not yet corrected the KRACK threat. This fact was verified by the staff of Ars Technica and later, Google itself confirmed that this will not happen until December.

The reason for this postponement has not yet been clarified, but those most concerned about their security are anxiously awaiting correction. At this point, there are already many OEMs that have taken precautions against this threat, so it should be a matter of time before Google follows the same path.
In a succinct and clear way, this KRACK threat affects the WPA2 security protocol of all Wi-Fi networks. Otherwise, this is precisely the most widely used protocol in the world these days.
The hack is carried out with the forced reinstallation of the security keys of these networks. Once done successfully, any type of data of any user will be exposed to the users. We are talking about credit card numbers, passwords, documents and files, emails, etc.
So it is only in December that the Android smartphones will begin to be vaccinated against this threat. Once Google makes the security update available, Pixel and Nexus devices will be the first to access it. The remaining equipment will be subject to the policies of updating its own brands.

Samsung Galaxy J5 2016 is finally receiving Android Nougat 7.0

After two months of its supposed official distribution, it is only now that users of the Samsung Galaxy J5 2016 smartphone are receiving the new system software update (firmware) that brings them Android Nougat 7.0 to your device. The wait was long but, as the sammobile advances, it will be over.
The confirmation comes now that users of Samsung Galaxy J5 2016 are finally installing Android Nougat in the Indian market. Indeed, India was the country chosen for the first stage of this distribution and, perhaps to apologize for the delay, the South Korean giant is also making available the new Samsung Experience 8.5 UX, the latest version of its interface.
Android Nougat 7.0 finally arrives at Samsung Galaxy J5 2016

This Experience 8.5 version was introduced with the Galaxy Note 8 and now comes to one of the most modest devices of the brand, the Samsung Galaxy J5 2016.
It remains to be seen what will have motivated a long delay in its arrival because it will have been about 2 months since the brand announced the beginning of its distribution, something that has not happened.
The arrival of Android Nougat 7.0 with this latest version of the brand interface is no surprise and good news for all users of Samsung Galaxy J5 2016. However, in statements to sammobile, some users were complaining about instability in the system with some Apps shutting down spontaneously.
Having said this, we do not know if the developer will not interrupt the distribution of this update before the reports of errors and instability caused by the update. In this case, we hope that some of our readers will also receive the news and can provide us with some feedback on it.
Hopefully, the news also reaches users of the Samsung Galaxy J7 2016, as well as the Experience 8.5 interface and of course, the Android Nougat version that despite having already more than a year of existence is only now reaching some devices.
If you have one of these devices you can check their availability in Settings – About devices – Download updates / Check for updates manually and hopefully it is already available.

This ransomware can 'permanently' lock your android

An android ransomware dubbed DoubleLocker can lock a victim's phone by changing the device's PIN and encrypts all the information stored within the device. This makes it nearly not possible for victims to access their data without paying a ransom.

According to researchers, this ransomware is distributed via a fake Adobe Flash Player apps spread mistreatment compromised websites. The ransomware asks the victim to grant administrative permissions that it then uses to activate the device's admin rights and set itself as the default home application.

Whenever the user taps the home button, the ransomware gets activated and also the device gets locked once more however the user is unaware of the very fact that the malware is activated each time the home button is pressed.

The ransomware encrypts all information stored within the device through the AES cryptography algorithmic rule, which suggests that, in theory, there's no way to decipher the files without receiving the decoding key from the attackers.

 The ransomware encrypts all files from the device's primary storage directory, using the AES algorithmic rule and also the ".cryeye" extension. There isn't any way to recover the files without the cryptography key.

Usually, the ransom to be paid within twenty four hours is 0.0130 BTC ($54) that is around Rs 4,000.

After Wanna cry and Petya, malware developers have currently smitten android by bringing in a new strain of android ransomware attack. In case of DoubleLocker, hackers have used the best and simplest way to trick users i.e social engineering. Human is the weakest link in cyber security and hackers have leveraged this weak link to compromise android devices.


The central reason why the DoubleLocker is deadly is that it grants itself device administrative permissions (generally utilized by antivirus/lost-phone apps). This permission offers the attacker complete remote of the device as well as options like remote lock, wipe, locate, ring and alter passwords.


The prevention, on the opposite hand, is very straightforward. think before you click! Users are suggested to not click on pop-ups that ask them to put in plugins or extra software. More significantly, read fastidiously the permissions you're granting an app. Never ever offer device administrator permission to an application even though downloading from the official store unless you're completely positive that you simply need to provide the app owners complete remote access to your device.


Prevention is better than cure, duplicate your data frequently as paying the ransom is not a guaranteed solution. Even though you pay the desired amount there's no assurance that the hackers can keep their promise and decipher your files. education

Good new! Making calls with public wifi now a possibility using internet telephone

You may shortly be capable to make calls using Wi-Fi  to any mobile or telephone line number  even if you do not have any signal on your smartphone with  the internet telephone service, telecommunication regulator Trai giving its nod to net telephone.

The move -being opposed by older telecommunication firms -will be significantly useful for making voice calls even when there aren't any mobile signals in some locations or when the standard network is uneven (which usually results in poor and interrupted call quality).

"The authority is of the notion that as per the current licensing framework, internet telephone service will be provided independent of the net access service. In other words, the net telephone service is un-tethered from the underlying access (or mobile) network," Trai aforementioned in its `Recommendations on regulative framework for internet Telephony', that have been submitted to the telecommunication ministry.

The regulator has pitched net calling as a helpful and cost-effective alternative for making voice calls. "This can increase the call success rate, significantly in indoor poor coverage areas wherever public internet is also accessible but signal of a specific telecommunication company isn't obtainable."

The older telecommunication players and their body COAI had opposed the move when it had been discussed by the regulator as they feared that it'd impact voice revenues. The firms said internet telephone, if provided over public network, can "entail vast losses to operators who are providing standard voice services as there'll be a shift of voice traffic... to public internet."

Trai disagrees. "The consumer can have a lot of alternative in making calls, and seamless voice connectivity can be accessed by riding over any WiFi network even when mobile signal isn't adequate, or is missing," Arvind Kumar, advisor at Trai, said.

To make calls through internet telephone, firms will ought to give an option -like an app -which would enable subscribers to use wifi before making calls to any of their contacts. Reliance Jio is believed to be one among the front-runners in providing such a framework.


Explaining the method of internet telephone, a Trai official aforementioned, "For example, an Airtel client could conceive to use Wi-Fi of MTNL or BSNL when he desires to make a call. Currently, there's no provision for this. however through an internet telephone player, he can now be provided such a facility through an app that he could download on his smartphone and use whenever needed. {the number|the amount|the quantity} of the caller are going to be same as his original number."


The regulator has recommended that "necessary clarification" is also issued by telecommunication ministry relating to internet telephone service. "If department of telecommunication contains a totally different understanding, Trai recommends that it may issue change to access service licences in order that net telephony service is untethered from the underlying access network."
