FairPhone 2 supports end after 7 years
The Fairphone 2, launched with Android 5 in 2015 at a price of 530β¬ (βΉ46,036)
It packs a 5" FHD+ display and is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 chipset with 2GB RAM. The company said a final Fairphone 2 software upgrade for Android 10 would be available in March.
Qualcomm ended its support next year in 2016 only and still FairPhone continued to provide the support for it. It has now reached end-of-life status with Android 10 over 7 years later and received 43 updates.
Ever since, Fairphone must have had a difficult time keeping up to date with Qualcomm not providing drivers and that's more than enough anyone could expect for an old Snapdragon 801 SoC without any support from Qualcomm

BREAKING: Microsoft Unveils Visual ChatGPT
GitHub
Microsoft unveiled a new model called βVisual ChatGPTβ, which incorporates different types of Visual Foundation Models (VFMs) including Transformers, ControlNet, and Stable Diffusion with ChatGPT.
You can send, receive and edit images during chatting. Plus you can ask questions about images as well
So, how does it work?
Suppose a user uploads an image of a yellow flower and asks βplease generate a red flower conditioned on the predicted depth of this image and then construct it like a cartoon, step by step.β
Visual ChatGPT first identifies the depth information of the image, creates a red flower using the depth-to-image model, and finally transforms the image into a cartoon using a Stable Diffusion model.
The Prompt Manager dispatches visual representations and tracks the information transformation.
Once the "cartoon" hint is collected, Visual ChatGPT halts the pipeline and displays the output

UPDATE: Google Pixel 7a will have Exynos Modem
Previously we said that, Pixel 7a will be having Qualcomm WCN6740 (Wi-Fi 6E + BT combo chip) wireless modem instead of Exynos modem.
But rather, just the Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth IC will be by Qualcomm, Modem will still be the same Samsung Exynos G5300 used in all pixel 6 and 7 series
So, difference between pixel 7a & Pixel 7:
β’ NO glass back in pixel 7a
β’ Different camera sensors
β’ Different Bluetooth and Wi-Fi chips
β’ NO UWB (Ultra-Wide-Band) in Pixel 7a
β’ Different Haptics/Speakers maybe
β’ NO Dual Light sensor in 7a
β’ 5W wireless charging in 7a given to charge your buds whereas 20W wireless charging in pixel 7
and many more hopefully when pixel 7a will be launched at Google I/O on May,10th

Trick to get a FREE USB drive from Microsoft!
Microsoft recently launched a new Canary Channel for Windows Insiders.
This channel is designed to test unstable builds of future Windows versions.
Example: Changes for Windows kernel, new APIs, test Windows 12 features etc.
But, Insiders in the Dev Channel will be automatically moved to the new Canary Channel
So, the Insiders who want to remain in the Dev Channel will need to reinstall Windows 11 to do so.
Windows 11 Insider can be reinstalled with its ISO image but a USB drive is required to flash it.
So Microsoft is mailing ALL the Windows insider users on Dev Channel with a code for FREE USB drive (even if they have a USB drive) if they want to switch back to the Dev Channel.
USB will be delivered within 6-8 weeks (2 months).
I mean its Freebie stuff and that too from Microsoft, who doesn't want it lmao
So the TRICK is to join the Windows Insiders Canary channel, and order the FREE USB and return back to stable build

First Look at Google Pixel 8 series Renders
Source
Pixel 8 is codenamed as "Shiba" and 8 Pro is codenamed as "Husky".
There is NO Pixel 8 Ultra unfortunately
Observing the renders, significant modification can be observed in the camera module, where all 3 lenses are now integrated into a single oval area.
There is also a new sensor located below the flash. This could be the LIDAR sensor
The Pixel 8 series will support staggered HDR technology.
This innovative feature enables the capture of multiple exposures simultaneously without the increased capture time or the risk of blurry images while utilising same pixels
Specifications:
β’ 6.7-inch LTPO OLED display
β’ Flat Panel instead of Curved
β’ Centered punch-hole selfie camera
β’ Google Tensor G3 SoC
β’ Mali 715 GPU
β’ Dimensions: 162.6Γ76.5Γ8.7mm (12mm with camera bump)
