Pixels on Android Q might receive automatic car crash detection - Android Police

Google has been putting a lot of effort into Android users' health and security with features like Digital Wellbeing, but also by helping them stay focused while driving. Now, the company appears to be working on a feature that should help you when you do get into an accident while on the road, regardless of cause. Some strings appeared on Android Q that suggest Pixels will automatically detect crashes.

The colleagues from XDA Developers dug into the latest Q Beta, released during Google I/O, and found a new app called "Safety Hub" which should be exclusive to Pixel phones as per its manifest file. The team inspected the yet-to-be-announced product closely and found some strings that suggest it can automatically detect car crashes, with the aptly called feature "Car Crash Detection." There are even two icons depicting accidents to go with it.

Thus far, it's unclear how exactly your phone detects a crash, as even a combination of acceleration measurement and microphone polling could produce a number of false positives. Maybe the feature only works when your device is connected to a car that can detect accidents itself. It's also unclear what does happen when the app recognizes a crash, but it would be fair to assume that it could automatically contact first responders and user-defined emergency contacts.

If the company can provide accurate and fail-safe crash detection, this might give it a lead against competitors and might move more people to use platforms like Android Auto or Assistant Driving Mode while on the road. And, most importantly, it could save a lot of lives.

Java, PHP or .NET: Which programming languages will earn you the most? - ZDNet

Salaries for in-demand programming skills including Java and PHP are rising rapidly. Advertised tech salaries have grown for the third year in a row, up 1.7% in 2018, with pay for specialised tech roles increasing significantly, as demand for .NET, PHP and Java developers continues to expand.

Over that three-year period, Java developers have seen the largest increase in salaries – 41%. Their wages also increased 6% between 2018 and this year – the average Java developer earns £63,700, although that can rise to £70,700 according to the data from recruitment company Reed.

The second best-paid programming role was full-stack developer, which pays £53,500 on average, rising to £60,300. That's up 5.6% on last year and 18.8% up on 2016.

PHP developers have seen salaries increase by 20.6% over the three-year period, and enjoyed the the largest increase of any tech role in the past year, up 6.9%. .NET developers have also seen a significant boost in salary during the period, with average pay increasing from £39,900 in 2016 to £47,400 this year – an 18.8% rise.

In most programming language popularity indexes JavaScript, Java, and Python are the most popular languages.

Data scientist, data analyst, technical architect, DBA and network engineer have also all seen double-digit increases to salary over the three years.

Pay for the more business-focused roles, such as business analyst and project manager, has also risen, but by a smaller amount than for developer roles.

Indeed, one of the few jobs to see pay decline in the last three years, according to the data from Reed, is that of IT director, which it said dropped between 2016 and 2018, only to climb back up slightly this year. Overall, average IT director pay has dropped slightly over the period from £89,200 to £83,600.

These rising salaries are matched by increasing demand for staff with these skills, according to Reed: while the overall number of technology roles advertised increased by 10% since the start of 2018, specialist roles such as data scientist (20%), .NET developer (13%), and BI developer (13%), showed increases considerably higher than average. Demand for full-stack developers – a role that can demand many different developer skills – has also increased rapidly, with a 41% increase in roles advertised since the start of 2018.

The data comes from jobs posted on Reed's website between 2015 and 2017 and the advertised salaries.

Andrew Gardner, director of Reed Technology, said: "There are plenty of roles out there for candidates with mobile experience and front-end development. Alongside that, firms will also need people with cloud-based experience, and storage skills. The impact of legislation such as GDPR is creating a lot of demand, with companies making sure they have the right skills, systems and processes in place – as a result roles in data are also growing."

Louis Vuitton and Royole put two web browsers on a handbag - The Verge

Of all the companies to embrace flexible displays in 2019, we didn’t think the fashion brand Louis Vuitton would be among them. Yet, that’s exactly what it’s done with its new lineup of handbags featuring 1920 x 1440 resolution flexible AMOLED displays from Royole. Engadget reports that LV plans to produce two variations of the so-called Canvas of the Future handbags, one with a single display, and the other with two.

On the runway at Cruise 2020, the screens were set to show an array of colorful urban visualizations, but in a video posted to Instagram one of the bags could also be seen showing a pair of scrolling web browsers. Louis Vitton says that the idea for the handbag is for it to become an extension of the smartphone, which suggests there’s more functionality here than meets the eye.

The handbags were produced using screens provided by Royole, whose FlexPai device is technically the first foldable smartphone in the world. If you haven’t heard of the FlexPai then we don’t blame you; when Vlad Savov tried it out at this year’s CES he declared that it was “charmingly awful” thanks to its buggy user experience and a relatively poor quality.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen a company put a display on a bag, and even Royole had a prototype purse of its own at this year’s CES. However, Louis Vitton has the advantage of being able to sell its bags at a price that could actually cover the cost of a cutting edge display.

Google’s Digital Wellbeing software might be slowing down Pixel phones - The Verge

Google’s Digital Wellbeing software is meant to be a helpful, transparent tool for monitoring your smartphone usage habits and striking a healthier balance between tech and life. But over the last couple weeks, a number of Pixel owners have come to the conclusion that it has the unwanted side effect of slowing down their device. There’s a very active thread on Reddit right now that includes many reports of improved performance when Digital Wellbeing is switched off. Some say the “night and day” difference is apparent almost immediately. Others seem less convinced that it’s anywhere near that drastic. The theory was originally brought up just over a week ago by Reddit user Trueray17, who said it fully resolved performance issues with their Pixel 3.

Slowing down your phone isn’t supposed to be one of Digital Wellbeing’s features, mind you. By design it runs in the background and logs how much time you’re spending in apps and using a device in general. This data can be hugely valuable if you’re trying to make better choices and waste less time staring at a screen. You can set app timers or turn the screen grayscale to make your go-to apps seem less appealing at times when you’ve decided you want to avoid impulsively opening them.

But the idea that Digital Wellbeing might be hindering Pixel phones from being as fast as they otherwise could be is a little alarming. If these user reports of speed and frame rate increases are accurate, this gives people a clear reason to disable a resource they might otherwise find tremendously useful.

Digital Wellbeing was one of the major new features of Android 9 Pie, debuting first on Pixel phones before moving to Android One and a (still fairly small) list of other devices. Google is set to expand on it in Android Q with a new Focus mode. Does it make sense that an all-seeing background process like this might impact overall performance? It’s certainly possible. The Verge has reached out to Google for comment on whether it’s aware of any slowdown caused by Digital Wellbeing.

In the meantime, if you want to turn it off — even temporarily — to see for yourself if there are any noticeable improvements, here’s how:

Go to settings on your Pixel phone
Choose Digital Wellbeing
Tap the three-dot icon at the top right and choose “Turn off usage access”
Confirm that decision on the next “Usage access” screen by choosing Digital Wellbeing and toggling the “permit usage access” option to off.

Pixel 3a, 3a XL won\'t be enrolled in Android Q beta program till next month - Notebookcheck.net

Please share our article, every link counts!

Sanjiv Sathiah, 2019-05-12 (Update: 2019-05-12)

I have been tech-obsessed from the time my father introduced me to my first computer, an Apple ][. Since then, I have been particularly interested in all things Apple, but also enjoy exploring and experimenting with any computing platform that I can get my hands on – I am the definitive early adopter! I have always been interested in how we can use technology to shape and improve our lives, most recently using it to record, mix and master my debut record, Acuity – Nature | Nurture.
