TECH NEWS I MISSED THIS MONTH

I haven't posted much this March, this is due to my preparations for my semester exams.
Anyway, check out some tech news I missed this week in memes and GIFs.

SAD NEWS FOR NIGERIANS: NO XIAOMI MI 5 ANYTIME SOON!

According to reports, Xiaomi flagship devices will no longer be sold in Nigeria. Wondering why? Apparently, Mi-fone (I can relate if you are wondering what/who they are. – They are a Mauritius-based phone company) feels that the Xiaomi MI series might create confusion with their brand since their names are similar, so they raised an injunction against them. No word on when the issue will be cleared :'(

YOUR INSTAGRAM FEED IS ABOUT TO “SCATTER SCATTER”

Brace yourselves Instagrammers, Facebook is about to ruin Instagram for you. They feel you miss an average of 70% posts, so to remedy that, they are introducing a Facebook-like algorithm that will sort images and videos based on what you are likely to be most interested in and not based on the most recent.

PLAYSTATION AND XBOX WILL SOON BE LOVERS

Finally, we are going to see something that many have longed for, a platform where PS4 and Xbox owners can play together all made possible by Microsoft.

CAN SOMEONE TELL SAMSUNG NOT TO MAKE THIS MOVE?

Samsung wants a piece of the social media cake, but I am sure they are not going to get it with what they are about to make. Meet Waffle, Samsung’s picture-based social media platform. How does it work? It will allow you posts pictures that your friends can waffle.

EcoFlow Burst PowerBank (for Phones,Laptops and Even Your Car)

EcoFlow burst onto the scene last year with a $1 million crowdfunding campaign for its portable and, fresh from announcing $4 million in new investment, the U.S.-China company is back with its second product: a mobile charger. Follow-up acts are always hard, especially when the first product was a runaway hit beyond initial expectations, but the company is opting to tackle a problem that will appeal to many, staying powered on the go. River Bank — today’s new addition — takes the concept of the portable mobile phone charger and super-sizes it with a power bank that can handle phones, laptops, cameras and even jump-start a car. Two of the main issues with regular mobile power banks are the days-long battery life between in each charge and that they can’t be taken on planes. While I’m not sure I need The River Bank, the fact it holds its charge for a year, covers more than just phones, and can be taken on planes — that stands out from the competition and makes it pretty da

New Gmail Total Makeover

Gmail is rolling out the biggest makeover since 2011! Asides from the mild design change: You also get a couple of cool features. One of my favorites is: Confidential mode Personally, this is the biggest addition so far! The new Gmail now sports a confidential mode that makes it possible to set an expiry date on emails or better still make them disappear! Now, if you have something sensitive you plan on sending in an email but are also worried about it surfacing 20 years from now, well, you can click on the lock icon at the bottom of an email to turn on Confidential mode. Did I mention that this feature also prevents people from copying, forwarding, downloading and printing the emails you send them? Google Apps Integration Another addition is the ability to access Google apps— like Calendar— from the side panel of the web version Snooze that email! This little feature would let you archive, delete, mark as unread or snooze an email by just hovering over them Reminders
