Apple will restrict children from sexual content outside the US. Blurring relevant photos in Messages will work in other countries
At the end of last year, it became known that Apple will add a function to automatically detect photos of a sexual nature in Messages. It was originally launched in the United States, but is now preparing to appear in other countries.
Various sources say that soon the feature will work in the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.
As a reminder, the feature is designed for iPhones owned by children. It is disabled by default, but parents can enable it. As a result, the software will automatically detect the presence of photos of a sexual nature in messages in the Messages application and blur them. Initially, Apple wanted parents to receive notifications in such cases, but apparently such a function would raise questions from regulators, so now everything is limited to blurring the photo. By the way, the software works similarly with photos that the child sends.

A laptop with a 16-inch OLED 4K screen and weighing only 1.17 kg. Acer Legendary Edge introduced in Japan

Acer has launched the notable Legendary Edge laptop in the Japanese market. Its peculiarity is in a thin body, the minimum weight for the class and the presence of an OLED screen. Moreover, the display resolution is 4K. The aspect ratio of the screen is 16:10, the maximum brightness is 500 cd/sq.m.
In general, Acer Legendary Edge has been sold in China since last year, but in the version for Japan it has a different processor – instead of the “Chinese” Ryzen 7 6800U, Ryzen 7 Pro 6850U is installed. Otherwise, there are no changes in the hardware platform: the laptop is endowed with 16 GB of LPDDR5-6400 RAM and a 512 GB PCIe 4.0 SSD. Moreover, there are two slots for SSD in the laptop.
Acer Legendary Edge is made in the body of magnesium alloy and aluminum, the thickness of the device is 12.95 mm, weight – 1.17 kg. Interestingly, the same mass is attributed to the base Samsung Galaxy Book3 Ultra – also 16-inch and also with an OLED screen, but with much more powerful components.

Why overpay for smartphones with 5G? On the example of the Samsung Galaxy A14, you can see that we are talking about a huge difference in performance.

The Samsung Galaxy A14 5G smartphone was introduced at the beginning of the month, but the company is preparing a more affordable version with 4G support. And today we have all the main characteristics of this model and images.
The design of the younger version will be the same, except that instead of brown it will be silver. Many characteristics will also not change, although there will still be differences.
The main thing, of course, is the platform. Instead of the latest Exynos 1330, MediaTek Helio G80 is used. Compared to the Exynos 850 in the Galaxy A13 4G, this is certainly a very significant improvement. For comparison, the Exynos 850 scores about 145,000 points in AnTuTu 9, while the Helio G80 scores 230,000 points. True, the same Exynos 1330 is gaining more than 410,000 points, so the difference between the A14 4G and 5G versions in performance is enormous.
The screen of the Galaxy A14 4G will retain the size of 6.6 inches, Full HD + resolution, but there will be no increased frame rate, like the A14 5G. The battery with a capacity of 5000 mAh, the main 50-megapixel camera, 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of flash memory will also remain, but charging will be only 10-watt. But the smartphone will receive stereo speakers.
The novelty will be released at the end of March. In Eastern Europe, they will ask for 200 euros for it.
