LG made the coolest Rube Goldberg machine to show off the G6’s durability

LG's history with advertisements hasn't exactly been strong, but they did manage to put together a cool concept for showing off their phone's durability.The LG G6 had a Rube Goldberg machine designed around it. The device travels through a series of obstacles and tracks as the machine takes its cues from the weight and movement of the phone to trigger each phase.To recap, the LG G6 comes with IP68 water and dust resistance, allowing it to be submerged in up to 3 meters of water for up to 30 minutes at a time. It also has MIL-STD 810G rating for shock absorption and resistance against extreme conditions such as high heat and cold. Watch the video above to see the device get whisked through the wonderful contraption.

A lot of Galaxy S8 users are reporting problems with missing texts

The Galaxy S8 is one of the  best smartphones to debut in 2017 , but it seems like there is an increasingly large number of reports of people experiencing problems with receiving text messages on the phone. The reports all seem to have the Galaxy S8 in common, as most people report the problem no matter which carrier they're using. Threads for Galaxy S8 users on   Verizon ,   AT&T , T-Mobile, and   Sprint   reveal the same problem with delayed texts or texts not arriving at all. It also doesn't seem to be exclusive to a specific messaging app, as several reports show it's happening in the default Samsung SMS app, Textra, and even Android Messages. Someone suggested trying to turn off Advanced Messaging in the default messaging app to see if that stops text messages from being delayed but right now this solution is pretty anecdotal. Have you been noticing missing text messages on your Galaxy S8? Let us know in the comments. source: here via Blogger http://i...

Why would you want to build your own VR backpack? To save money and move freely!

One of the first issues we came across with the  HTC Vive  was the cable that follows you around the room, potentially tripping you up or pulling on the headset when you've taken time to get a perfect fit. While mainstream wireless VR systems are seemingly somewhere around the corner, some PC manufacturers have taken it upon themselves to create the next best thing: VR backpacks. The cable running from your PC to your headset is no longer a problem, and immersion is taken one step further. Unfortunately, these backpacks are usually prohibitively expensive, and, besides, you might already have the hardware needed to create your own. Is it possible? Is it worth the time? Let's find out! Pre-built backpack options Before we get into building our own backpack, let's take a look at some pre-built offerings from HP, ZOTAC, and MSI. HP OMEN X For  about $3,000 , you can grab this sleek, compact PC with an Intel Core i7-7820HK quad-core processor (CPU), an NVIDIA GTX 10...

UBER IOS APP CAN VIRTUALLY ‘SEE’ YOUR PHONE SCREEN, AND APPLE APPROVED IT

WHY IT MATTERS TO YOU Permissions inside the Uber app sound like a privacy nightmare, but have never been abused, and will soon be removed. To better prepare its Apple Watch app, Uber used technology enabling it to view and record what was happening on an iPhone's screen, even when the Uber app was only running in the background. The permission to do this was granted by Apple, and although Uber claims not to use the system anymore, it remains part of the app. The news comes from Sudo Security Group, which unearthed the capability — called an Entitlement — in the Uber app. While this sounds like a security and privacy nightmare, the entitlement doesn't work like a screen-recording app, according to an app researcher speaking to  Gizmodo , and will be removed from the app soon. What it does is visualize colors and pixels on the screen, not precise details. However, the concern is this data could be decoded and interpreted to reveal sensitive personal inf...
