Huawei P9 and P9 Plus, the autonomy is not only a question of battery – Wired.it

What are the ingredients to make a good smartphone? Each manufacturer has its own recipe, but there is one aspect that, usually, end users do not want to see overlooked: l'autonomy. No one likes a cell phone that goes off at the second coffee break of the day, but slip the batteries are always the most capacious under the body of the phones is usually not enough to solve the problem. That’s why the batteries 3000 and 3400 mAh battery is present inside Huawei P9 and P9 Plus is only one of the aspects that allow the smartphone to arrive with confidence at the end of the day and beyond. The technologies adopted in the two products are not absolute novelty, yet often they are explo ited all together to provide performance out of the ordinary.

The Android operating system is seasoned with the gui EMUI developed by Huawei, which, among other things, allows you to monitor and restrict with maniacal precision the energy consumption of every single app and component of the phone.

The platform can highlight the activities that consume the battery abnormally or that take advantage of resources when they should remain closed, and the user can decide whether to keep them as they are or to block some functionality.

in Addition to the actions taken on individual apps, smartphones offer the three floors of the consumption of different: the first gives priority to performance, always pushing to the maximum the processor to ensure fluidity and speed in all situations; the second balance individually and with care the network connections and the computing power required to the CPU of the phone; the third disables all of the internal components with the exception of those reserved to the calls and messages, and can get to double your battery life remaining.

And then the settings of the automatic power on / off make sure that the phone is put completely to rest for the days and times established, and is activated only when necessary. In this way, the smartphone saves energy during the night even if you forget to turn it off, all while remaining usable for functions such as waking up in the morning: just set the car phone is turned on in time for the notification ringtone.

those Who want to save even more energy finally, you can restrict the efforts of the graphics processor and the display with a special mode that reduces the resolution of the screen from 1920×1080 to 1280×720 pixels: the definition of the contents to the screen will decrease substantially, but the autonomy will benefit from it equally. The mode is activated in parallel to each of the three floors of consumption, in this way, you can earn valuable minutes in emergency situations, taking active the other functions of the smartphone, such as Wi-Fi connections and cell phone.

Tesla, the energy cycle integrated drive. From renewable sources to 100%.

a energy cycle almost independent of the one developed by Tesla: the american manufacturer had already expressed the intention to expand the business and become a supplier of environmentally friendly solutions integrated. Now, however, Elon Musk, number one brand of Palo Alto (California), enter in the detail of green strategy in the long term, the one based onsolar.

The basic concept is simple: the electric cars of Tesla (who wants to sell half a million a year, starting from the 2018 against the 80/90.000 set for the year 2016) will be refilled by a great battery domestic wall, in turn powered by solar panels installed on the roof of the house; the latter, thanks to solar energy, you can almost isolate from the network to the public electricity, using it only when necessary, maybe in the bands in which electricity costs less. Even if Tesla are convinced that these technologies are "sufficient to feed an entire home with 100% renewable energy".

A "vision" described by the same Musk during the presentation of the new Solar Roof and the second generation of the accumulators Powerwall 2, held in Los Angeles: the first one is a new concept of a solar panel, similar to a normal -. Available in 4 versions different, to better adapt to the tastes of customers, the Solar Roof is designed to match the style of the house and camouflage with it.

The irradiated elements are, however, protected from tempered glass with integral heater elements: according to Musk can withstand any weather condition and snow melt which may have depositasse above. No details on the prices that are been referred to as competitive: the orders are already open, with the first applications in USA expectations for next summer. In the business of photovoltaics is part of the SolarCity, the manufacturer of the solar panels (in debt by 3 billion dollars), of which the same Musk is the president and should soon be on incorporated from Tesla: an operation by us $ 2.6 billion.

The second generation of Powerwall is offered about 5.500 dollars: it offers a capacity of 14 kWh – double the original – and a power of 5 kW (7 peaks). While larger buildings can be used drive together. In the meantime, the Tesla, after eight quarters of negative performance, has returned to smile, even on the stock exchange, by publishing a final quarterly (ending 30 September) very positive, better than that proposed by the analysts: the company is back to do useful almost 22 million against the losses to 229.9 million for the same period in 2015. This has made flying the title to Wall Street, with rises of up to 6%.

MacBook Pro 2016: the death of MagSafe – Want …

the arrival of The new MacBook Pro, and their innovative Touch Bar, marks the death of one of the features most loved by Apple users: MagSafe. As is now widely known, the Cupertino company has preferred to opt for the four-door USB-C, thus removing the support links of the type magnetic. And while this choice brings, on the one hand, the undeniable benefits to the user, it may limit the possibilities.

They talked for several weeks of the possible introduction in the new MacBook Pro, ports USB communication-C, compatible with the standard ThunderBolt 3. The hopes of being able to continue to use a connector that is magnetic, however, seemed still very high, at least until a few days ago Ming-Chi Kuo, an analyst with a very reliable account of the bitten apple had in fact suggested the possible introduction of a system owner for these USB-C, always with the peculiarities of the magnet. So, however, was not.

Although the USB standard-C is not yet widely spread on the market, Apple brings many advantages. Not only in terms of speed of transmission, also support connections with the lightning-quick Thunderbolt 3, but also moltiplicazionee of resources: each port can serve as both as the output video that as a tool charging. This means that the user can upload his MacBook choosing any door that is at his disposal, not having to then worry about the inconvenience with the cables, between the left and right side of the device. Also, with the ever more extensive convergence of the market towards this standard, in the future you will be able to take advantage of a one charger for each device of the home, be it a MacBook, or a tablet or a smartphone.

While offering less versatility, MagSafe, however, offers the consumer a higher level of security. With its magnetic, in fact, prevents a long series of accidents in the home: treading accidentally on the cable, the connector is automatically disengaged from the device, without drag. That’s not insignificant, if you want to avoid accidental falls for a device even from the higher price to 2,000 euros. Apple has not motivated officially the death of MagSafe, or explained why they have not declined USB-C in the key card: do not exclude, however, the reasons be made known in the future.
