Android vs iOS - Which OS is right for you?

Over the years, the debate between Android and iOS has intensified, making it vital for you to understand the unique features each operating system offers. Android provides a wide range of devices with customizable options, while iOS boasts a seamless user experience and consistent updates. Your choice can impact everything from app availability to device performance. Whether you prioritize…

love how today I said to my boss that apple phones don't have a built-in back button and he was like "no they do" and proceeded to show me that safari has a built-in back button

#LADsMultiBoycott: Enough Is Enough – It’s Time to Stand Together

“We don’t hate the game—we love it enough to want better.”

Over the past few weeks, the community has been buzzing over translated leaks and rumors surfacing on Xiaohongshu (小红书) and Twitter that point to a disturbing trend in Love and Deepspace (LADs). The upcoming multi-banner—whether it turns out to be the anticipated Spring or Wedding multi—will once again feature long hairstyles separated from their outfits. Yes, again. After all the outcry. After all the feedback. We're here once more.

Let me be blunt: we can’t keep going like this. We can’t keep hoping CN girlies will save us every time. We can’t keep spending in good faith when Infold continues to exploit our loyalty and silence our voices. We can’t keep pretending that fan art and cute trailers make up for broken promises and paywalled aesthetics.

It’s time for us to join together, across servers, communities, and fandoms. It's not about Sylus mains vs Caleb mains vs the OG3. We're all getting burned by the same fire.

💥 What We Know From the Leaks

According to reliable sources:

The upcoming banner after Sylus’s Birthday Event might be another multi-banner format, either Spring or Wedding.

Long hairstyles will be separated from the outfits and placed in a separate crate—again.

This structure mirrors gacha mechanics where full outfits demand 140+ pulls, stretching across 5-star parts like socks, pants, accessories, and hair.

These decisions appear to be influenced by monetization models similar to Infinity Nikki, prioritizing profit over playability or fairness.

📢 So What Are We Doing About It?

We are organizing under #LADsMultiBoycott to push back against these predatory changes. This isn’t just a tantrum. It’s a coordinated protest.

🔥 Our Demands:

Six-month roadmaps to ensure transparency and accountability.

Higher resource drops from the highest-tier Bounty/Core Hunt.

Stop separating hairstyles from outfits in banners.

New sources of diamond income (no more stagnant gem economy).

No spending for the first 3 days of the banner. Use only your saved-up diamonds.

File official complaints to show Infold that this matters. Email:

loveanddeepspace-en@infoldgames.com

support-EN@infoldgames.com

🧠 Strategy: What You Can Do

Here’s what our global LADs family is doing:

1. No Spending for Entire Banner Period

Even if you have funds set aside, hold them. Don’t top up. Don’t feed the system that’s disrespecting your playtime and wallet.

2. Delay Your Pulls

Do not pull in the first 3 days. Choose your LI in the pool, then log out. Let the data show decreased first-week participation.

3. Minimal Screen Time

Yes, log in for dailies, but keep your session short, especially for iOS users. Play Store and App Store algorithms track usage data. Reduced screen time:

Hurts engagement metrics.

Lowers game ranking.

Cuts ad revenue.

4. No Banner Fanart for First Few Days

As painful as it is to hide our beautiful boys, let’s not unintentionally trigger FOMO. Fanart drives hype—hold off until after the peak revenue period.

5. Only Use Android if Possible

App Store rankings are disproportionately influenced by iOS user engagement. Reducing iOS traffic matters more than you think.

🌎 A Global Movement: We’re Not Alone

Our fellow players in China have already shaken Infold’s confidence.

CN revenue dropped by 42.2% from Nov 2024 to March 2025 (from $100M to $57.8M).

Global rankings dropped, while games like Genshin and Wuthering Waves soared.

Their success in the "stop-spending-money" campaign proved one thing: boycotts work.

If they can do it, so can we.

✊ This Is About More Than Just One Banner

Infold believes that as long as they release a sexy card, we’ll cave. They believe we don’t talk to each other. That we’re divided by LI bias and language barriers. But what they don’t see is how deeply connected we’ve become as a fandom.

We aren’t asking for perfection. We’re asking for respect.

If we let this multi go unchallenged, it sets a dangerous precedent:

Separated hairstyles in multi-banners like this become normalized.

Resources remain stagnant.

Paywalls keep climbing.

F2P and low-spenders are permanently excluded.

💡 Why Minimal Playtime Matters

Some of you might be thinking, “But this won’t work?” And here’s why it will:

“Why Cutting Screen Time Works” – The Breakdown

Engagement metrics tank. App Store/Play Store ranks games by DAU, session length, etc.

Revenue drops. Less screen time = fewer ad views = less money.

Rankings slide. Visibility goes down, leading to even fewer players.

It sends a message. A sharp drop in playtime can’t be ignored by business analysts.

💬 “But What If Infold Cancels the Game?”

They won’t. That’s just fear-mongering.

If a company is willing to kill its own cash cow just because fans want better—then it was never worth our support to begin with. But more importantly: they won’t kill it. They’ve seen that the game can pull millions. They’ll just need to earn it now.

🧱 We’re Building Something Bigger

This isn’t just about LADs. It’s about every gacha game that’s begun preying on its fans. If we roll over here, what message are we sending to WuWa, HSR, ZZZ, GI, and the rest?

We all have that one game we ride or die for. But loving a game doesn’t mean blind loyalty. Criticism is love in action.

🧩 TL;DR: How You Can Help

��� Don’t spend money on the next multi-banner

🕒 Log in for dailies only, pick your LI, then log off

🎨 Hold off on banner fanart for a few days

📉 Reduce iOS activity as much as possible

💌 Email: loveanddeepspace-en@infoldgames.com support-EN@infoldgames.com

🗣️ Spread awareness under #LADsMultiBoycott

Even if you’re the only one on your server, know that you’re not alone. We’re tired, we’re frustrated—but we’re not powerless.

Let’s stop funding our own oppression.

No fair treatment = no money. Let them earn it.

Grandpa Sukuna Buys a Phone

Ft. UncKuna Ryomen Sukuna, Retail Worker GN!Reader, Gen Z Android User Itadori Yuji, Millennial iPhone User Inumaki Toge (Can & will speak), Hot Crush at First Sight Fushiguro Megumi

Normal Modern AU - No Curses/No Powers Summary: Ryomen Sukuna, the King of Curses, discovers the horrors of modern technology while trying to buy a phone. Yuji drags his immortal uncle through the chaos of retail hell, Inumaki records everything for clout, & Megumi accidentally becomes the Internet’s newest thirst trap. Or: In which Sukuna learns about Bluetooth while he and Yuji gets a crush, & Inumaki becomes the worst kind of friend. (Feat. awkward flirting, grandpa rage, accidental simping, & enough secondhand embarrassment to power a small city.) A/N: Hey, besties! ✨ So, this fic is 80% crack, 20% feral demon king trying to understand iOS vs. Android while getting his first crush in 1,000 years. 😌 You know, normal JJK things. Expect chaos, TikTok clout chasing, and Sukuna having a midlife crisis over Bluetooth. Also, if you’re here for tall, dark, & broody men with questionable tech skills, this is for you. (And if you’re not, wtf are you doing here? 👁️👄👁️) This fic is dedicated to everyone who’s ever had to explain technology to a relative who still yells at the TV remote. I love you. 💖 Never written anything for Suku x Megs, its my first time here hehe.

A neon-lit Android store in Shibuya. The walls pulse with LED ads for the latest tech, promising “LIGHTNING-FAST SPEEDS” and “CRYSTAL CLEAR DISPLAYS.” You sit behind the counter on a swiveling stool, scrolling through memes and pretending the customer in front of you isn’t about to snap the demo phone in half.

Ryomen Sukuna stands over your counter like a disgruntled RPG boss. Tall, covered in tribal tattoos that definitely don’t follow workplace dress code, and radiating an aura that screams, “I don’t belong in this century.” The demo phone in his hand creaks under his grip.

“This device,” he growls, glaring at the phone like it owes him money, “what does it do?”

You suppress a sigh, eyes darting to the store’s emergency exit. “Uh… everything? It’s a smartphone. Internet, calls, apps—whatever you need.”

His scowl deepens, eyes narrowing like you just insulted his ancestors. “Explain ‘apps.’”

You blink. “They’re like… little programs that do specific things.”

He leans in, crimson eyes glowing. “Specific things like trapping human souls?”

You pause. “No.”

“Then what?”

You’re struggling not to laugh when the door slams open, and two guys stumble in, mid-argument.

Yuji & Inumaki Enter the Chat

“Uncle Sukuna!” the pink-haired one—Yuji, 21—calls, grinning as he pulls out his earbuds with the kind of energy you’d expect from a puppy on five shots of espresso. His hair has those soft, fluffy highlights that suggest either a TikTok influencer or a guy who let his little sister pick his dye job.

Yuji knows Sukuna is his “uncle” thanks to a totally legit backstory Sukuna fed him two days ago: he’d woken up from a 1,000-year coma caused by “Super Rare Amnesia Disease Syndrome” (SRADS™), a condition that erased all his modern knowledge but conveniently left memories of being Yuji’s estranged uncle intact.

Yuji, being both kindhearted and gullible, bought it immediately.

Beside him, Inumaki—a 22-year-old with the energy of a stressed-out millennial, oversized hoodie, and fingers glued to his phone—sips a violently purple bubble tea, eyes flicking to Sukuna like he’s assessing the final boss of a horror game. He’s got the disinterested aura of someone who just lost all faith in humanity and is about to roast someone for it.

Yuji jogs up to the counter, clapping Sukuna on the back. “Whatcha doing, old man?”

Sukuna snarls, baring fangs. “Do not touch me, boy.”

Yuji just grins, unbothered. “Trying to buy a phone? Good luck, dude. You’re gonna hate it.”

Sukuna’s eyes flicker. “You dare mock me?”

Inumaki steps up, flicking his bangs out of his eyes. “He’s not wrong, though. You’ll have a mental breakdown trying to figure out the Wi-Fi settings.”

Sukuna glares. “Don’t patronize me, brat.”

Yuji just grins wider. “You’re literally 47.”

“Old age brings power, boy.”

Yuji pats his shoulder like a nurse dealing with a particularly confused patient. “Uncle, it’s a phone. You can call people, text, watch cat videos, whatever.”

Sukuna squints. “It contains cats?”

Inumaki snorts into his bubble tea, the pearls clinking against the plastic. “Not literally, Grandpa.” He taps his iPhone. “iPhone’s better, though. No debate.”

Yuji rolls his eyes. “Bro, no. Android’s superior. More freedom. Better battery life. Customization.”

Inumaki leans against the counter, smirking. “Yeah, if you want your phone to look like a Craigslist ad.”

Yuji’s grin sharpens. “At least my phone doesn’t cost a kidney.”

Inumaki flicks a bubble at him. “iPhone has FaceTime.”

“Discord exists.”

“Better camera.”

“Pixel 8.”

“Ecosystem.”

“Android has an actual file system.”

You glance at Sukuna, whose eyes are twitching like a demon contemplating mass slaughter. You’re pretty sure if he knew what Wi-Fi was, he’d try to curse it.

He lifts the phone again, staring at the bright, mocking icons. "What is this 'Bluetooth'? Does it refer to a creature?"

You press your lips together, trying not to laugh. "It's for wireless connections."

His eyes narrow. "Connections to what?"

"Speakers, headphones, car stereos..."

He glares at the phone. "Does it speak?"

Yuji snickers. "Nah, but Siri does."

Inumaki lifts his iPhone. "Yeah, and it actually works, unlike whatever knockoff AI your Android has."

Yuji bristles. "Bro, don't disrespect my Google Assistant."

"Literally no one uses that."

"I use it!"

"Case in point."

Inumaki pulls up TikTok, flashing the screen at Sukuna. "See? iPhone's perfect for this." He hits play, and a chaotic, ear-splitting sound erupts from his phone. "Crisp speakers. Smooth playback."

Sukuna's eyes flare. "This... this device screams?"

You bite the inside of your cheek, watching as Sukuna's patience with modern tech frays like an overused charging cable.

---

Yuji claps him on the back, nearly sending him into a murderous frenzy. "Relax, Uncle. You'll get used to it. Just buy the Android. It's way more user-friendly."

Inumaki shakes his head. "Don't listen to this peasant. Buy the iPhone. It'll save you from having to watch pixelated TikToks."

Sukuna glances between the two phones like he's choosing a weapon before battle. "Which one is superior in combat?"

Yuji frowns. "Bro, what?"

Inumaki deadpans. "Neither. They break if you breathe on them too hard."

Sukuna's eye twitches, and you're pretty sure you see him clench his teeth.

Yuji groans, like he's been waiting for this. "Bro, don't start. Android's superior."

Inumaki flicks a pearl at him, which Yuji barely dodges. "Better camera. iPhone wins."

"Yeah, if you're an Instagram model," Yuji fires back. "Androids are for real users."

Inumaki raises an eyebrow. "You mean broke ones?"

Yuji's jaw drops. "Say that again, I dare you."

You rub your temples, regretting every life choice that led you here.

---

While the boys bicker, Sukuna corners you again, red eyes flashing.

"What is 'storage space'?"

You sigh. "It's how much data you can save."

He scowls. "And this... 'RAM'? Is it a type of curse?"

You deadpan, "It's memory for multitasking. Not a curse."

His frown deepens. "Why does this one have a 'triple-lens camera'? Are three lenses necessary for mortal eyes?"

You bite your lip to keep from laughing. "For better photos."

He snorts. "I don't need mortal 'photos.' I'll remember your faces when I'm tearing you apart."

Yuji, still mid-argument with Inumaki, calls over, "Uncle Sukuna, stop threatening people!"

---

A few minutes later, Yuji grabs Sukuna's arm, yanking him toward the counter where the demo phones are lined up. "Here, look. I'll show you how to take photos."

He flips the camera to portrait mode, about to snap a picture of you, when the door chimes. A guy walks in - tall, dark-haired, and dressed like he's about to drop a million-dollar tech startup. He heads for the headphone section, expression unimpressed.

Both Yuji and Sukuna freeze.

The guy, oblivious, casually picks up a pair of noise-cancelling headphones, turning them over with an appraising look.

Yuji's fingers tighten on Sukuna's arm. "Holy shit."

Sukuna narrows his eyes, for once at a loss for words. You glance between them, confused.

Inumaki, who has been aggressively snapping selfies for TikTok, finally looks up. "Oh. Damn."

The guy's eyes flick over to the trio for a moment, brow furrowing slightly before he turns back to the headphones.

Yuji's mouth hangs open, and you're pretty sure you can hear his brain cells frying.

Sukuna leans in, voice low and strangely unsteady. "Who is this mortal, and why do I feel the urge to... validate my existence in front of him?"

Yuji looks equally horrified. "Bro, same."

Inumaki deadpans, "That's called a crush, grandpa."

Sukuna sputters, genuinely looking alarmed for the first time since he stormed into your store. "Crush? I am the King of Curses! I do not 'crush'!"

Yuji hisses, "Dude, he's looking this way. Play it cool!"

Sukuna stiffens, lifting his phone like he's about to curse it. "How do I 'play it cool'?"

Inumaki just smirks, pressing record discreetly on his phone pointed at Sukuna and Yuji. "Good luck, old man."

The mysterious guy - tall, with spiky but soft-looking hair, sharp-jawed, and wearing a designer coat that probably costs more than your rent - wanders over to the checkout counter, noise-cancelling headphones in hand. He's got that lowkey irritated vibe of someone who hates small talk but needs to get this over with.

You mentally brace yourself.

"Hey," he says, voice deep and slightly raspy, like he's been up all night brooding on a fire escape. He sets the box down on the counter, hands long and elegant.

You swallow. "Hey."

Behind you, Inumaki's phone is definitely recording. Yuji, for once, is silent, eyes darting between you and Sukuna like he's watching a slow-motion train wreck that includes him.

You scan the box - a pair of Razor Kraken V5.2 Ultra-Supreme Noise-Cancelling Headphones with 360-Degree Spatial Audio and Bone-Rattling Bass. Price tag: ¥85,000.

Nice. The man has taste.

"Buying the fancy ones, huh?" you say, trying to sound casual.

He raises an eyebrow. "I like good sound."

Yuji, not-so-subtly whispering to Sukuna: "Bro, that's a voice."

Sukuna, glaring: "Shut up, brat."

You slide the headphones toward the register. "So, uh... you into gaming or just vibing to, like, lo-fi while you contemplate the universe?"

He snorts, eyes flicking up to yours. "Both."

God, why does his eye contact feel like a judgemental cat sizing you up?

"Nice," you blurt out, swiping the barcode. "Uh, you know, these are great for drowning out existential dread."

He pauses, lips twitching slightly. "Good. I have a lot of that."

Inumaki is barely containing his laughter behind his cup.

"Yeah," you say, forcing a laugh. "Same."

The air between you is so awkward you could cut it with a plastic spork.

Beside you, Sukuna's fists clench, and you can feel the temperature in the store drop by about five degrees. He's glaring at the mystery guy like he's trying to decide whether to curse him or write him a love haiku.

The guy - completely oblivious - taps his card against the reader.

"Thanks," he says, meeting your eyes again. "Have a good one."

"Y-Yeah," you stutter. "You too."

He turns, strides out of the store with the grace of a noir film protagonist, and disappears into the neon haze of Shibuya.

The door closes, and the silence that follows is deafening.

Yuji, in a stage whisper: "Bro, what the hell was that?"

Sukuna's fingers twitch, veins popping. "He has the presence of a king."

Yuji's eyes snap to his uncle. "Uncle Sukuna, did you just—"

"Silence."

Inumaki finally breaks, letting out a wheezing laugh as he stops recording. "Oh my god. You guys were so awkward." He immediately starts typing the TikTok caption: "Retail Worker and Demon King Simp Over Guy with Expensive Headphones While I Watch" #Cringe #NoRizz #SimpGrandpa

You groan, burying your face in your hands. "I want to die."

Sukuna snarls, still staring at the door like he can mentally will the guy to come back. "I do not 'simp.' I am the King of Curses."

Yuji pats his back. "Yeah, bro, you also just got verbally bodied by a guy who didn't even break eye contact."

Sukuna growls, shadows flickering around him. "Cease your insolence, boy."

Inumaki snorts, sipping his bubble tea. "You're both hopeless."

Yuji leans in, whispering like he's plotting a heist. "Dude, we gotta find out who that guy is."

Sukuna's eyes gleam, fangs flashing. "Yes."

Inumaki just shakes his head, already uploading the TikTok. "I'm so posting this."

As Sukuna's internal monologue spirals from "Why is this mortal so captivating?" to "I should just eat him to stop these cursed feelings," Yuji grabs both phones and slaps them on the counter.

"Uncle Sukuna," he whispers, eyes darting to the door. "Dude, breathe. You're acting weird."

Sukuna growls, shadows flickering like he's about to spontaneously combust. "I do not 'act weird,' boy."

Yuji rolls his eyes, pushing both phones toward the register. "Just buy these and let's go. You're embarrassing me."

Sukuna, still in a post-crush haze, slams a thick wad of cash on the counter, the bills spilling everywhere like the world's least organised drug deal. You stare at it, stunned, because you're pretty sure you just saw a 10,000 yen note that looks older than your grandparents.

He grabs the bags, one in each hand, and turns with a flourish, nearly knocking over a display of overpriced phone cases.

"Keep the change, mortal," he snarls, stalking out of the store with the energy of a man who just rage-bought his way out of an emotional crisis.

Yuji facepalms. "Bro, you bought both phones."

Sukuna freezes, one foot already out the door. He turns, slow and deliberate, like a vengeful spirit. "What?"

Yuji sighs, rubbing his temples. "You bought both. That's like ¥400,000. You just got scammed by capitalism."

Sukuna's eye twitches, jaw clenching so hard you half expect his fangs to crack. He looks at the bags in his hands, then back at you, like this is somehow your fault.

"Foolish mortal devices," he mutters, storming out, nearly shattering the glass door with his exit.

You exhale, leaning against the counter as the air pressure finally normalizes. Inumaki's phone is still recording. You glance at him, too tired to even protest.

"This is going viral," he declares, flicking his bangs aside with a smirk.

---

Later That Night

The door slams open. Sukuna looms in the entrance, the Android's screen flashing an angry red error message.

"This infernal machine mocked me."

Two hours later, he returns, now glaring at a system update prompt.

"What is this 'system update'? It demands I agree to its terms."

You stare blankly. "You have to accept to use it."

"I will destroy this wretched device," he snarls, shadows flickering around him as you reach for the return forms. Retail hell just got a supernatural upgrade.

---

One Slow Tuesday Later

You're stacking overpriced phone cases when the door chimes. There he stands - the headphones guy, dressed in another sleek, all-black fit, the kind of effortless style that screams, “I’m emotionally unavailable but in a hot way.” His hair is slightly mussed, jaw clenched, eyes sharp enough to cut through your last remaining shred of dignity.

Your pulse spikes like a faulty heart monitor.

You swallow. Your palms are suddenly clammy, and you’re pretty sure you’re about to do something embarrassing again.

He strides up to the counter, setting down a phone case with the kind of precision that makes you question your own motor skills.

"Hey." His voice is gravel wrapped in velvet.

“Hey,” you manage, praying you don’t sound like a 12-year-old meeting their K-pop bias for the first time.

He leans in, voice low, eyes narrowing slightly. “Why the hell am I all over TikTok?”

Your brain blue-screens.

“What?”

He reaches into his pocket, pulls out his phone, and flips the screen to face you.

Your soul exits your body as he shows you Inumaki's viral video: 3.4M views, comments glaring up at you.

“Retail Rizz at its finest.”

“Bro, who’s the dude in the coat? I’d let him ruin my credit score.”

“Not the tall, dark, and broody customer giving main character energy.”

“Lowkey want him to step on me.”

Oh. Oh no.

Your eyes dart to the store’s corner security camera, then to the still-displaying LED ads for the same overpriced headphones this guy bought last week. You feel your sanity crack like a cheap phone screen.

“I… I didn’t… It wasn’t me,” you stammer, your brain flipping through excuses like a malfunctioning Rolodex.

"Didn't say it was." 

“Oh.” You blink. “Right.”

He pockets his phone, the weight of his stare making your knees weak. “Just… tell your friend to stop being weird.”

Your brain finally catches up. “Oh, yeah. Definitely. Sorry about that. I’ll, uh, talk to him.”

He stares at you for another beat, like he’s trying to decide if you’re worth the effort of being mad at, then turns and heads for the exit.

You exhale, heart rate slowly returning to a somewhat liveable BPM as the door chimes again, and the guy vanishes into the Shibuya chaos.

A second later, your phone buzzes. It’s a group chat notification.

Inumaki 👁️: Bro, did your crush just come back to the store? I see him on the camera feed. LMFAO

Yuji 🦑: WAIT WHAT WHERE

Inumaki 👁️: Nah, too late. He left. I’m posting the part where you both froze like NPCs again. 😂

Yuji 🦑: BRO I HATE YOU

You: I’m blocking you both.

---

Meanwhile, In The Cursed Geriatric Group Chat

Cursed Geriatric👑: Boy. This ‘FaceTime’ feature. Why does it demand my ‘contact permissions’?

Yuji 🦑: LMAO, you gotta allow it or it won’t work.

Cursed Geriatric👑: Allow it? I will not allow anything. I am the King of Curses.

Inumaki 👁️: Old man can’t work his phone 😂

Cursed Geriatric👑: Silence, brat. I will curse you through this wretched device.

Yuji 🦑: You’d have to accept the terms and conditions first.

Cursed Geriatric👑: What are these ‘cookies’ it demands I accept?

Inumaki 👁️: Not the demon king getting ratio’d by iOS settings.

Yuji 🦑: Bro, chill. Just click accept.

Cursed Geriatric👑: Fools. I have clicked it. I will not be controlled by your cursed ‘clouds’ and ‘Wi-Fi.’

Yuji 🦑: You literally have two phones now.

Cursed Geriatric👑: They shall become my weapons. Fear me.

Inumaki 👁️: This is going on TikTok too.

Cursed Geriatric👑: I will end you.

i'm planning on buying a laptop and i don't know if it's worth it to buy a Mac, i mean, i know that apple is good but i've always been a windows user and i don't know if the switch to IOS is the best option, it just that i'm so tired to look for reviews on Intel or AMD that the lunar lake this, the meteor lake that, that the new AMD IA 365 🫠 i just need something light and portable to use Microsoft stuff and college things. I would miss not be able to pirate things like movies and apps though. i don't know if is worth the sacrifice and make everything more legal 😂 what do you think kiki (i'm and Android user as well and i have a s24 ultra) i don't have anything Apple's 😂

honestly i have a mac desktop and i dont even use it anymore it just sits in a spare room cuz i prefer my laptop thats a razer blade 😅 macs are fine, but honestly unless you’re already part of the ap ple ecosystem system or do stuff with music or drawing (procreate really is that good) i don’t really think you necessarily need a mac. if you want something light and easy an acer aspire3 is a good option, i had the original and i loved that thing. its pretty compact but only has 8gb ram and 128gb ssd but if you don’t really need it for much it’ll work great for you. another good option i think despite being a gaming laptop, the asus strix g16 would be really good if you wanna pirate stuff 😂 it is an older model (2023 i think) but it runs 16gb ram and 2tb ssd which honestly i think is worth it and people give asus more shit than i think they should. i’m pretty sure it only runs 6hrs on battery though so that could be a deal breaker where the racer i think is 11hrs but don’t quote me 😅 plus in the whole mac vs microsoft thing you can get an open source version on pc of literally anything and everything you can find on a mac so unless you have a specific need for a mac or you just really want one you can absolutely just stick with what you’re familiar with. you don’t really need to pay too much mind to the graphics or anything if you’re only using it for casual stuff though cuz it really won’t make that much difference in the grand scheme.

i know i have some pc friends who know a lot more than i do though so if anyone has any suggestions to help out friend out here it’d be mighty appreciated 🤩🙏🏻

Understanding Encryption: How Signal & Telegram Ensure Secure Communication

Signal vs. Telegram: A Comparative Analysis

Signal vs Telegram

Security Features Comparison

Signal:

Encryption: Uses the Signal Protocol for strong E2EE across all communications.

Metadata Protection: User privacy is protected because minimum metadata is collected.

Open Source: Code publicly available for scrutiny, anyone can download and inspect the source code to verify the claims.

Telegram:

Encryption: Telegram uses MTProto for encryption, it also uses E2EE but it is limited to Secret Chats only.

Cloud Storage: Stores regular chat data in the cloud, which can be a potential security risk.

Customization: Offers more features and customization options but at the potential cost of security.

Usability and Performance Comparison

Signal:

User Interface: Simple and intuitive, focused on secure communication.

Performance: Privacy is prioritized over performance, the main focus is on minimizing the data collection.

Cross-Platform Support: It is also available on multiple platforms. Like Android, iOS, and desktop.

Telegram:

User Interface: Numerous customization options for its audience, thus making it feature rich for its intended audience.

Performance: Generally fast and responsive, but security features may be less robust.

Cross-Platform Support: It is also available on multiple platforms, with seamless synchronization across devices because all the data is stored on Telegram cloud.

Privacy Policies and Data Handling

Signal:

Privacy Policy: Signal’s privacy policy is straightforward, it focuses on minimal data collection and strong user privacy. Because it's an independent non-profit company.

Data Handling: Signal does not store any message data on its servers and most of the data remains on the user's own device thus user privacy is prioritized over anything.

Telegram:

Privacy Policy: Telegram stores messages on its servers, which raises concerns about privacy, because  theoretically the data can be accessed by the service provider.

Data Handling: While Telegram offers secure end to end encrypted options like Secret Chats, its regular chats are still stored on its servers, potentially making them accessible to Telegram or third parties.

Designing a Solution for Secure Communication

Key Components of a Secure Communication System

Designing a secure communication system involves several key components:

Strong Encryption: The system should employ adequate encryption standards (e.g. AES, RSA ) when data is being transmitted or when stored.

End-to-End Encryption: E2EE guarantees that attackers cannot read any of the communication, meaning that the intended recipients are the only ones who have access to it.

Authentication: It is necessary to identify the users using secure means such as Two Factor Authentication (2FA) to restrict unauthorized access.

Key Management: The system should incorporate safe procedures for creating, storing and sharing encryption keys.

Data Integrity: Some standard mechanisms must be followed in order to ensure that the data is not altered during its transmission; For instance : digital signatures or hashing.

User Education: To ensure the best performance and security of the system, users should be informed about security and the appropriate use of the system such practices.

Best Practices for Implementing Encryption

To implement encryption effectively, consider the following best practices:

Use Proven Algorithms: Do not implement proprietary solutions that are untested, because these algorithms are the ones which haven't gone through a number of testing phases by the cryptographic community. On the other hand, use well-established algorithms that are already known and tested for use – such as AES and RSA.

Keep Software Updated: Software and encryption guidelines must be frequently updated because these technologies get out of date quickly and are usually found with newly discovered vulnerabilities.

Implement Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS): PFS ensures that if one of the encryption keys is compromised then the past communications must remain secure, After every session a new key must be generated.

Data must be Encrypted at All Stages: Ensure that the user data is encrypted every-time, during transit as well as at rest – To protect user data from interception and unauthorized access.

Use Strong Passwords and 2FA: Encourage users to use strong & unique passwords that can not be guessed so easily. Also, motivate users to enable the two-factor authentication option to protect their accounts and have an extra layer of security.

User Experience and Security Trade-offs

While security is important, but it's also important to take care of the user experience when designing a secure communication system. If your security measures are overly complex then users might face difficulties in adopting the system or they might make mistakes in desperation which might compromise security.

To balance security and usability, developers should:

Balancing Security And Usability

Facilitate Key Management: Introduce automated key generation and exchange mechanisms in order to lessen user's overhead

Help Users: Ensure that simple and effective directions are provided in relation to using security aspects.

Provide Control: Let the users say to what degree they want to secure themselves e.g., if they want to make use of E2EE or not.

Track and Change: Always stay alert and hands-on in the system monitoring for security breaches as well as for users, and where there is an issue, do something about it and change

Challenges and Limitations of Encryption Potential Weaknesses in Encryption

Encryption is without a doubt one of the most effective ways of safeguarding that communications are secured. However, it too has its drawbacks and weaknesses that it is prone to:

Key Management: Managing and ensuring the safety of the encryption keys is one of the most painful heads in encryption that one has to bear. When keys get lost or fall into unsafe hands, the encrypted information is also at risk.

Vulnerabilities in Algorithms: As far as encryption is concerned the advanced encryption methods are safe and developed well, but it is not given that vulnerabilities will not pop up over the years. Such vulnerabilities are meant for exploitation by attackers especially where the algorithm in question is not updated as frequently as it should be.

Human Error: The strongest encryption can be undermined by human error. People sometimes use weak usernames and passwords, where they are not supposed to, and or even share their credentials with other persons without considering the consequences.

Backdoors: In some cases, businesses are pressured by Governments or law officials into adding back doors to the encryption software. These backdoors can be exploited by malicious actors if discovered.

Conclusion

Although technology has made it possible to keep in touch with others with minimal effort regardless of their geographical location, the importance of encryption services still persists as it allows us to protect ourselves and our information from external invaders. The development of apps like Signal and Telegram has essentially transformed the aspect of messaging and provided their clients with the best security features covering the use of multiple types of encryption and other means to enhance user privacy. Still, to design a secure communication system, it's not only designing the hardware or software with anti-eavesdropping features, but it factors in the design of systems that relate to the management of keys, communication of the target users, and the trade-off between security and usability. 

However, technology will evolve, followed by the issues and the solutions in secure communications. However by keeping up with pace and looking for better ways to protect privacy we can provide people the privacy that they are searching for.

Beyblade X: Hasbro Announces Beyblade Transformers Release

The front of the packaging for the Beyblade X release for the Optimus Prime 4-60P Vs Megatron 4-80B Multipack. It's almost time to Let it Rip! On Tuesday, May 14th, Hasbro announced plans to release their Beyblade X crossover with their Transformers franchise. The two 2-bey sets, each styled after famous (or infamous) Robots in Disguise, collectively release in July. The sets are currently exclusively available for preorder on Amazon.com or $24.99 each. Let's take a closer look at what they contain!

The front of the packaging for the Beyblade X release for the Optimus Primal 3-60F Vs Starscream 3-80N Multipack.

Hasbro's Beyblade X Press Release Notes

According to the press release put out by Hasbro today: Experience the thrill of the next generation of BEYBLADE stadiums, launchers and Tops: BEYBLADE X with the BEYBLADE X TRANSFORMERS Optimus Primal 3-60F and Starscream 3-80N Multipack Set which includes 2 right-spinning Tops and 2 launchers (Beystadium required, sold separately). Launch right into battle or reconfigure the interchangeable blade, ratchet, and bit of Tops in this TRANSFORMERS Collab Multipack with those of other BEYBLADE X Tops (sold separately) to create your own unsurpassable Bey. BEYBLADE X features the X-Celerator Gear System innovation to level-up your game. When the gear of a BEYBLADE X Top engages the rail of the Beystadium arena, it can super-accelerate into an Xtreme Dash rocketing it around the stadium. Bladers launch their Tops into fierce clashes against their opponent’s scoring points with each spin – first to score 4 points wins. Hasbro BEYBLADE toys with authentic Takara Tomy die-cast metal Tops make great kids gifts for boys and girls ages 8 and up. A similar press release statement was put out regarding the Optimus Prime 4-60P Vs Megatron 4-80N Multipack. Both sets will retail at approximately $24.99 and will be made available this July.

How Does Hasbro's Beyblade X Measure Up To Takara Tomy?

For the sake of those who are already well aware of Beyblade X thanks to the original manufacturer, Takara Tomy, and their continued support of the game, let's recap what these Hasbro beys are like. To start, the Transformers beys are not just simply reskins of existing Beyblade X beys. Hasbro made new molds based on existing beys, but with a distinctly Transformers twist to them, for this release. Other than that, it can safely be said that they will perform similarly in these analogous ways: - Optimus Prime 4-60P uses a blade similar to Knight Shield (also known as Helm Knight in other Hasbro releases) - Megatron 4-80N uses a blade similar to Hells Scythe (also known as Scythe Incendio in other Hasbro releases) - Optimus Primal 3-60F uses a blade similar to Shark Edge (also known as Keel Shark in other Hasbro releases) - Starscream 3-80N uses a blade similar to Wizard Arrow (also known as Arrow Wizard in other Hasbro releases)

Also of note, Beyblade X fans across the globe who have had access to Hasbro's beys can confirm that the beys have the same quality to Takara Tomy's line. This is a welcome change from the previous eras of Beyblade, and fans can rest easy with this knowledge.

But Wait, There's An App!

As a final point, Hasbro will release a Beyblade X app on June 1st, 2024. This app will be available for both iOS and Android devices. According to Hasbro, "Users can scan the BEYBLADE X TRANSFORMERS Tops to unlock rewards and keep track of their Beyblade Top collection in the “Beylocker.” The new BEYBLADE X app offers a variety of ways to earn digital rewards and users can take their battles on-the-go and play against other Bladers around the world." You can find Amazon's preorder listings for the two sets here and here, for Optimus Primal Vs. Starscream, and Optimus Prime Vs. Megatron, respectively. We are especially excited for Hasbro's Beyblade X releases to launch in North America and especially in the US. We will surely be covering this topic more as the launch day draws closer, so stay tuned in for more developments as they come! Read the full article

ChatGPT vs. Gemini vs. Copilot

The rise of AI chatbots has been fast, with more options becoming available to users. These bots are becoming a regular part of the software and devices we use every day.

Just like choosing an email provider or music app, you can now pick your favorite AI chatbot too. We’ve tested three of the most popular ones to help you decide which might be right for you.

Aside from these, there are others like Perplexity and Claude, but our focus here is on the biggest names: OpenAI's ChatGPT, Google's Gemini, and Microsoft’s Copilot.

We’ve tested each bot and included three standard challenges for evaluation. We asked for "a fun game idea for a 5-year-old’s birthday party," "a new smartphone app concept," and "instructions for resetting macOS."

In this blog, we're comparing the free versions of these chatbots available at the time of writing.

Which One Is Best for Regular Users? ChatGPT or Gemini or Copilot

 ChatGPT powered by OpenAI

ChatGPT, developed by OpenAI, has been a leader in generative AI. It's widely accessible through web browsers on computers and mobile apps for Android and iOS. The platform has made headlines recently with announcements from OpenAI, including updates on their latest models and features.

There's a significant difference between the free and $20-per-month Plus versions of ChatGPT. The Plus version offers extra features like image generation and document scanning. Subscribers can also create their own GPTs with custom prompts and data. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman has mentioned that these enhancements are part of their strategy to democratize AI.

ChatGPT Plus provides access to the latest GPT-4 models, whereas the free GPT-3.5 is good for basic AI interactions. It's quick and versatile but lacks web link references like Copilot for fact-checking. The open AI search engine, one of the key initiatives, helps improve the platform's information processing capabilities.

Choosing ChatGPT is ideal for those interested in cutting-edge AI development. However, it's more effective with a paid subscription rather than on a budget. Apple's involvement with OpenAI has also fueled further interest in the platform.

In testing, ChatGPT performed reasonably well. It suggested a themed musical statues game for kids and a health-focused smartphone app named FitTrack.

Gemini powered by Google

Formerly known as Google Bard, Gemini is available as a web app and on Android and iOS. There are free and paid ($20 per month) plans.

Paying for Gemini gets you access to newer, smarter models. The interface resembles ChatGPT, and it integrates well with other Google services.

Gemini is suited for Google product users. It provided sensible responses to our challenges and suggested a neighborhood item-sharing app and a twist on the classic party game.

Copilot powered by Microsoft

Copilot is integrated into many Microsoft products like Bing and Windows. It’s available as a web app and mobile app.

Copilot uses Microsoft’s Bing search engine and often provides web links with citations. It's conversational and offers various text output settings.

The AI behind Copilot is OpenAI’s GPT-4, with different settings for text output: More Creative, More Balanced, and More Precise.

Copilot suggested "What’s the Time, Mr. Wolf?" for the kids' game and a virtual interior design app for smartphones. Its macOS reset instructions were accurate and cited from Apple’s support site.

If you use Microsoft products heavily, Copilot is a natural choice. It excels at referencing web information and providing clear citations.

In conclusion, all three—ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot —can be used for free, allowing you to choose based on your preferences. Copilot offers the most AI features without payment, ChatGPT is highly competent with a subscription, and Gemini is ideal for Google fans.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How Do Chatbots Understand Language Differently Than a Programming Language?

Chatbots and programming languages are different in how they understand language.

Programming languages like Python or Java are structured and strict. They need exact commands and follow clear rules to work. If you make a mistake, the program won't function correctly.

Chatbots, on the other hand, are designed to interpret human language. They use techniques like Natural Language Processing (NLP) to understand words, phrases, and even context. This allows them to grasp the meaning behind what people say, even if the words are not in a set pattern.

A chatbot can recognize synonyms (different words with similar meanings), understand the intent behind a sentence, and learn from the interactions it has with users. This flexibility is what sets chatbots apart from programming languages, which rely on strict instructions to perform tasks.

What Does the Generative AI Ecosystem Refer to?

The term "generative AI ecosystem" refers to a network of technologies, tools, and methodologies that use artificial intelligence (AI) to create or generate content autonomously. This ecosystem encompasses various AI models and algorithms designed to produce new and unique outputs based on learned patterns and data.

In simpler terms, generative AI involves systems that can generate things like text, images, music, or even video without direct human input for each specific output. These systems learn from large datasets and then use that knowledge to create new content that resembles what they've been trained on.

This ecosystem includes a range of technologies such as language models (like GPT), image generators (like DALL-E), and music composers that are able to produce content that is novel and, in many cases, convincingly human-like. The ultimate goal of the generative AI ecosystem is to automate and enhance creative processes across various domains, potentially transforming how we create and interact with digital content.

For users who own other Samsung products like tablets, smartwatches, and laptops, Samsung phones offer a seamless integration experience. Users can easily connect their devices and share data or control them from one another.

The Final Word

The choice between Samsung and Apple ultimately comes down to personal preference. If you prioritize an open and customizable Android experience, cutting-edge hardware features, and a wider price range, Samsung might be the better fit for you. However, if you value a premium build quality, a user-friendly closed ecosystem, and seamless integration with Apple products, iPhones might be your preference. Regardless of your choice, remember that a mobile repairing course in Delhi from a reputable institute like Hi-Tech Institute can equip you with the skills to troubleshoot and repair both Samsung and Apple devices, opening doors to exciting career opportunities in the mobile repair industry.
