Suggested January 2024 Daily Authority: Hardware Isn’T The Issue For Samsung’S Huge Tablet, And More

A South Korean survey was spotted that suggested Samsung might launch a 14.6-inch tablet in the near future.

Codenamed “Basquiat 3,” and likely part of the Galaxy Tab S8 series (with other codenames Basquiat 1 and 2), the device would reportedly center around a 14.6-inch, 120Hz OLED screen that’s larger than the Tab S7 Plus’ 12.4-inch display.

With the extra room comes more features too, including a second, 5MP ultra-wide camera to join the 8MP standard model, and an in-display fingerprint sensor.

As the top-spec model (“Ultra”?), it’d also come equipped with 8/12GB of RAM and 128GB/512GB storage. Expect a max battery capacity of 12,000mAh, up from 10,090mAh in the current Tab S7 Plus.

Then there’s the chipset, which is universal to all three models, and potentially something like a Snapdragon 888 Plus chipset.

Price problems:

The survey also gave away or at least hinted at pricing, with Samsung possibly setting a starting price of about $1,320 for the 14-inch tablet in its home country. And that’s before LTE or 5G.

A 128GB Galaxy Tab S7 Plus officially sells for about $850, so the additional premium on the big boy would be pretty massive.

It might be great to have that much real-estate running Android apps, but the real issue is the lack of native support from many apps for larger size screens. It’s something our reviewers complain about with every Android tablet review.

As a laptop replacement, you’d also want a keyboard stand or “Book Cover Keyboard”, adding another ~$150 or so.

$1,500 for the Wi-Fi-only version, plus more for cell connectivity, would put it in a pretty specific niche echelon. Though if it’s running a 120Hz OLED screen it’d undoubtedly be big and beautiful, if not unwieldy in the hand.

And I guess Samsung could market it as towering over the iPad Pro in size… but still, it’s not the hardware, it’s the apps that are the problem.

Daily Authority: Ea’S Source Code Hacked, And More

According to posts on a dark web forum, someone is claiming to have obtained 780 gigabytes of data, including the source code for FIFA 21, along with EA’s Frostbite game engine, used by FIFA, Battlefield, Madden, and more EA games.

Other proprietary EA frameworks and software development kits (SDKs) were also nabbed.

Vice first reported the attack, and noted that the hackers are trying to sell the data rather than hold it to a cryptolocking ransom as we’ve seen more recently:

“Along with their forum posts the hackers shared a small selection of screenshots claiming to demonstrate their access to EA data, but did not publicly distribute any of the internal data itself. Instead, the hackers are, at least ostensibly, trying to sell the information.”

EA said, in a statement to the outlet: “We are investigating a recent incident of intrusion into our network where a limited amount of game source code and related tools were stolen. No player data was accessed, and we have no reason to believe there is any risk to player privacy. Following the incident, we’ve already made security improvements and do not expect an impact on our games or our business. We are actively working with law enforcement officials and other experts as part of this ongoing criminal investigation.”

More and more brazen:

Last year, Nintendo, Valve, and Ubisoft alone suffered similar data breaches, while CD Projekt Red was hit by a ransomware attack this year.

But the specific data that EA has confirmed to be hacked is juicy: source code access can open up worlds of interesting scenarios for programmers, who can figure out new cheats, how to get around anti-cheat software, or less nefariously, create mods.

EA:

EA is not exactly a company many will feel sorry for, having become addicted to microtransactions for fully-owned games.

Jokes doing the rounds point out that the hackers will be able to prove once and for all that FIFA 21 is the same as FIFA 20 which is the same as FIFA 19, 18, 17… before it…

Someone on Twitter joked: “Hackers ignored the NHL series, just like EA has done for the past decade”

Ok yes this is an Android Authority newsletter but credit where it’s due: an 18-year-old developer has faithfully created iOS 4 as an iPhone app called NewOS (The Verge).

Now, Apple doesn’t exactly allow you to download the app, but Zane Kleinberg, the developer, has made it available via GitHub for Xcode, and the NewOS app is available on Apple TestFlight.

I feel like I was using this just a few years ago, but iOS 4 was first shown off 11 years ago!

Daily Authority: The Switch Pro Drops Any Time Soon, And More

Nintendo Switch Pro soon

Well, well. Yesterday, we talked Valve working on various prototypes for a handheld, portable PC device, just like a Nintendo Switch.

And the Switch is in the spotlight today, because there are serious hints that Nintendo may launch the Switch Pro ahead of E3.

The virtual E3 event is set for June 12, which is just over two weeks away. So, soon?

Timeline:

Bloomberg reported it first, then Eurogamer added confirmations with additional sources, more or less suggesting a release around “September or October”.

What makes this really hot, though, is that some hints out there suggest the Switch Pro could even be announced as soon as today.

Why today? There are hints. And with tomorrow the start of a holiday weekend in the US, it could be the right time.

Switch Pro details:

The big Switch Pro specs that have emerged are a swap to an OLED panel, sourced from Samsung, running at 720p.

Plus there’s reportedly a big switch to NVIDIA Tegra graphics with DLSS, that will allow the console, when docked, to output 4K to a TV.

The current Switch will be quietly removed from shelves, though the Switch Lite will still be available.

No word on pricing, but “more than $299” is being reported.

As for the chip shortage hurting availability, Bloomberg’s report says this: “Production lines are better prepared for the potential component shake-up and the parts Nintendo is using are subject to less competition than those in its rivals’ more powerful consoles. Still, the company’s ability to meet consumer demand won’t be guaranteed.”

And I mean, Nintendo admitted as much this month, already: “Nintendo President Shuntaro Furukawa said at its earnings press conference earlier this month that demand for the Switch remains high and the company wasn’t able to produce as many units as it wanted.”

About a year ago we talked about what we want to see in an upgraded Switch Pro console, including Bluetooth audio support, better Joy-Cons, and more.

👀 This is amazing — and I missed it until just now, so bear with me if you’ve already seen it: For some reason, a Canadian get-rich-quick conference booked Edward Snowden, who proceeded to speak for a few minutes, before then sharing his screen with the audience to display a news article that exposed the host, at his own conference (Vice). It gets wild here at the 8 minute mark, including a view of the live chat of participants floored by the revelations (YouTube).

😬 “Lemonade: JK, JK, we don’t use facial recognition to reject your insurance claims” (Gizmodo). The neo-insurer had weirdly bragged that the company uses “AI” to identify more than 1,000 “non-verbal” cues that “traditional insurers” might not be able to pick up on. Which is a dystopian hell, if it’s even close to being correct.

🌓 Here’s some blood moon pics from last night (Gizmodo).

📻 “ELI5: Why, although planes are high tech, do their speakers and microphones “sound” like old intercoms?” (r/explainlikeimfive).

It was hotly anticipated as the flagship Android phone, with months of speculation leading to the launch on May 2.

It had a 4.8-inch 720p display, 4G LTE model, with an 8MP rear shooter. It also came with Android 4.0.4 (Ice Cream Sandwich), and saw major updates including Android 4.3 Jelly Bean and Android 4.4 KitKat.

It retained the swappable battery setup so beloved early in the smartphone game, but the base 2100mAh battery was huge for the time, too. NFC was bundled in with the battery, too.

And it’s fun to read old reviews about how big it was, considering the 6.8-inch Samsung S21 Ultra people grapple with today.

Cheers,

Daily Authority: Airtags Reviewed, Spacex Launch, Google’S .Ar Domain, And More

There are a few questions trying to be answered here.

Are they good enough to buy, how do they compare to Tile, are they particularly good in any way, and is there a true need, anyway?

The answers, I think, look like this: yes, well, in an Apple way – yes, and that really depends.

Probably the best of the reviews is from The Verge:

“…I do think Apple has put together a thoughtfully designed system that goes a long way toward ensuring privacy and safety while still making it easier for you to locate your stuff.

AirTags are a very Apple-y Apple product, and that ends up being great but also just a little annoying (and, for third-party companies like Tile, troubling).”

Also: they scratch easily. “Sincerely, do not expect these to stay looking pristine for long — not since the weird early days of the iPod nano has an Apple product gotten scuffed this easily.”

And do you really need it?

The thing about Bluetooth trackers is that they suit a certain kind of person.

Story time:

I lost my wallet for almost a month, during the earlyish pandemic lockdown time when I didn’t need it because I wasn’t going anywhere, but I sure couldn’t find it either.

(I did finally find it, I still remember the relief washing over me like a warm hug.)

That led me to buy and review the Tile Slim, where I said I like it for peace of mind, there’s little downside other than cost and eventually the battery wearing out. I tested it just now, it works. I’m glad I have it.

But I’d never really thought about tracking anything else….

Mashable’s review tackles these thoughts and does it well:

Yeah sure, you’re likely to find a use for one of these, maybe for your keys or whatever.

But they’re just big/obtrusive enough to not be comfy in a wallet and you might already own a Tile.

Bluetooth trackers have largely existed without excitement, and while precision finding with UWB is cool, others will do it too.

The other thing is Apple will be pushing its ecosystem. One of the originally potentially useful things with Tile is that anyone with the Tile app could help you find your stuff if it travelled away from you.

Apple is talking the same thing up, outmuscling Tile by saying “nearly a billion devices out in the world” can help to locate an AirTag.

That’s what Samsung did with its SmartTags too, helpfully working with Samsung phones, but only Samsung phones. Still, there’s a lot of those.

That’s the kind of selling point/peace of mind that Tile can’t really access.

Yet, in theory, it’s pretty easy for a thief to spot an AirTag on a bag of gear, and just yeet it?

That makes the use case… mostly keys?

“Nicolás David Kuroña said in his Twitter account @Argentop that “I want to clarify that I entered chúng tôi I saw the name of chúng tôi available and I legally bought it as appropriate!”. Domains listed on chúng tôi expire every year and must be renewed, but this time Kuroña was faster. “It is all legal !!,” Kuroña said.”

“Minutes after the maneuver, it was confirmed that Google recovered the domain.”

This kind of thing used to happen more. A mix of good samaritans and more opportunistic types bought domains like chúng tôi or famously, chúng tôi (CNET) when domains expired.

Have a fun weekend,

Tristan Rayner, Senior Editor.
