HTC Ocean Note : a camera as good as Google … – Generation NT

The HTC Ocean Note is one of the variants of the a series of smartphones that the taiwanese group could unveil in 2017. A few indications and a rendering have started to give an idea of its features and design remaining inspired by the HTC 10.

new rumors always evoke the disappearance of the 3.5 mm jack and the presence of a port USB Type-C, as well as the existence of three colours : black, white, or blue. According to the website ePrice, the HTC Ocean Note would also be equipped with a sensor main camera which had nothing to envy to that of the smartphone Google Pixel, placed at the head of the ranking of the best camera mobile under the action of DxOMark.

Might be the future HTC Ocean Note

This photo-quality the Google Pixel has also been one of the first arguments put forward during his presentation, the smartphone being the first to reach a score of 89/100, this did not prevent him to learn some of the imperfections.

Knowing that the Google smartphone is designed (in part) and produced by HTC, one can possibly think that the technology of the camera will also be offered or improved on a future model signed HTC.

Labelling of cooked dishes: the companies of the agri-food … – France Soir

France will lead in 2017 to a unique experience in Europe, the origin labelling of meat and milk in processed products and ready-cooked dishes, a logistical challenge for companies in the agro-food, and encouraged to source in France.

The measure starts on 1 January, but a postponement to march 31, has been planned to enable industry to adapt and take on the market the products that are already labeled in order of“avoid waste”, said on Thursday the 29th the ministry in a press release.

The measure, which was implemented on an experimental basis for two years, provides that the origin of the meat contained in prepared meals, or milk in the brick or dairy products, must be announced as soon as the share of meat is greater than or equal to 8% of the weight of a prepared product, and as soon as the part of milk is equal to or greater than 50% for dairy products.

This labelling was not previously compulsory for fresh meat, fruit and vegetables or even honey. For consumers to see appear on the packaging of ready meals country of birth, rearing and slaughter of animals for meat or collection, as well as of packaging or processing of the milk, manufacturers have had to re-do all of their labels.

The Association of enterprises of food prepared (Adepale) has estimated the cost of this operation for the companies agri-food to “several tens of millions of euros”. According to the association, the change of the labels “will be at least 3 to 4 billion labels for products in the scope of the Adepale, plus the cost of the destruction of labels and / or packaging non-compliant”.

Still a cost, “difficult to quantify”, the refocusing on the meat and milk of French origin, “one of the main objectives of this regulation franco-French”, according to the Association.

Because the purpose of the government is clear: while livestock breeding is experiencing great difficulties in France, this measure is “a major opportunity for the recognition of the quality of agricultural products and agri-food in French.

Since an agreement in 2010 with the interprofession porcine Inaporc for the voluntary labelling of pork products, the Herta brand already mentions the origin of 90% to 95% of its products, explained to AFP the CEO of Herta, Arnaud de Belloy.

But, “what is complicated, is that in France one does not find all the parts. It’s missing 1/3 of the ham in France. There are products that are imported and we need more supply in France”.

However, “to mark foreign products, now we not bother because it is obvious that in the deli you will always have imported products”, ” says the CEO of Herta who hopes to “this is not an excuse when there is a time of low prices for that there are actions outside of the law in stores”, that is to say, the protests of farmers in the brands that sell foreign products.

Philippe Gélin director of the centre’s caterer group LDC, of which the best known brand is Mary, but that also makes dishes of the brand of the distributor (MDD), confirms this: ““It’s been three or four years that we communicate on the French origin of the products, there is no change”.

For him, the issue is more important for the MOT, because “in this connection we respond to the requests of our customers,” distributors and to their specifications. Or “some use meats which are not necessarily of French origin”.

“Some distributors, but very few, made the choice to spend on products of French origin. This is the subject of a negotiation”, he says.

Because “change the origin of products is an expensive choice”. “For products Marie, the additional cost related to the supply of France – from birth to breeding through to slaughter and processing – rather than abroad has been of € 2.5 million” for the year, he said.

It happened in 2016 : the explosion of the Galaxy Note 7 is shaking the … – Echoes

The year 2016 had a very good start for Samsung. And then it all derailed, leaving an aftertaste of burnt that the giant south Korean has struggled to forget.

Until the summer, everything was for the better. After a raw of 2015 in a half-hearted, the good sales of the Galaxy S7, the latest addition to its range of smartphones premium, pulled the profits of the giant south Korean. In the second quarter, it posted its best operating performance since 2013. And the beginning of August, to top it all off, the group unveiled a new wide-format model, a top-of-range, the Galaxy Note 7. Samsung burned and the politeness of its largest competitor, Apple, including the iPhone 7 was expected in September.

Ironically, it is perhaps this willingness to take speed the firm at the apple that precipitated the exit from the road of Samsung. A few weeks after the launch of the Note 7, the first problems are starting to go back to Seoul. Several of the devices catch fire , for no apparent reason.

Breaking with the old habit of putting this kind of incident under the carpet, the leadership of Samsung has been recognized, the 2 September, that some of the batteries in its new model Galaxy Note 7, to present a risk of inflammation and activated a large recall campaign. The group is part of a public apology. “This is going to cost us so much so that I’m evil at heart “, explained the head of the mobile business of Samsung, Koh Dong-Jin.

Crisis and re-crisis

at the Beginning of September, analysts estimate that the recall and replacement of defective equipment will cost at least a billion dollars. In reality, the bill will exceed five billion dollars . Because at the beginning of October, the crisis is intensifying. Some of the smartphones replacement catch fire. The group has obviously been too quick to put its device on the market, and then too fast again estimate that only some of the batteries were at issue and that the problem could be circumscribed.

The fate of the phablet is finally sealed late in the evening of 10 October, during an emergency meeting in Seoul. “The safety of our customers is the first of our priorities, we have decided to stop the sale and production of the Galaxy Note 7 “, says Samsung, bringing to an end the greatest fiasco in its history.

as A reminder, it’s going to. Two encores, hello the damage. The 3 million devices sold, it is necessary to add an equivalent amount of stock to be destroyed. The group also agrees to indemnify its suppliers of components. And he puts up significant discounts for customers that choose to buy another device in the range returned after a Footnote 7.

The competition rubs his hands : Apple of course, and its iPhone 7 released in full during the turmoil at Samsung, but also the chinese Huawei, which is firmly installed on the third step of the podium, and Google, which announced in early October its first smartphones house, Pixel and Pixel XXL, resolutely positioned on the top of the range.

other sources of profits

Fortunately for Samsung, the range of Note accounted for about a third of the sales of high-end phones from Samsung and other models of the Korean continue to sell well. Most importantly, the phones will account for “only” half of the revenues and profits of the group. Samsung is also a giant in the field of electronic components, including memory chips NAND and DRAM, in which the request does not fail.

The South Korean it also benefits from the passage of many manufacturers of smartphones with OLED screens, of which he is the undisputed master of the technology, alongside its compatriot LG, more specialized in the larger formats. The next iPhone could be equipped with such a screen and become a big source of income for… Samsung.

But even more than its profits, it is the image of Samsung that is damaged. Difficult to forget that for months, many airlines have warned passengers not to climb aboard or to hold a Samsung Galaxy Note 7. Especially in November, Samsung should organize another recall, this time targeting… 2.8 million washing machines in the United States. And at the same time, judges make a raid on the headquarters of the conglomerate, in the context of the huge corruption case that killed the president Park Geun-Hye shortly after.

To forget these setbacks to repeat, Jay Y. Lee, the heir of the conglomerate Samsung happened to the controls in the middle of a storm, has several successes to his credit, in spite of everything : the transfer of the business of printing at HP Inc. for a billion dollars, the ipo of its subsidiary, Samsung BioLogics, and especially the biggest acquisition ever made by a chaebol outside of Korea, that of the king of the electronic audio american Harman mid-November for $ 8 billion. Still, it is without doubt that the release of the Galaxy S8 , which will be unveiled at the end of February, which will end up the unfortunate of the Note 7.

A condition to make only sparks.

Currently, 3.06 million of which were sold in the world , the account is not there : only 2.7 million of Galaxy Note 7-income at Samsung, or a return rate average of 90%. And even if we take into account the devices that are still stored by retailers or wholesalers and those that have been discarded or destroyed, they are potentially more than 300,000 who are always in the nature.

Nor connectivity, nor support

To speed up the returns and to avoid exploding, the Galaxy Note 7 that have not yet been returned, Samsung has decided to “kill” at a distance and to make the devices impossible to use. And this so that their owners could not in the future nor the charge, nor connect to any network whatsoever (including Wifi and Bluetooth).

To achieve this, Samsung is going to simply take advantage of the updates imposed by the telecom operators to implement a software which will limit the charge level of the battery of devices that have not been returned. Until now they could not be charged to 60% capacity. But in the coming weeks, the load limit will be lowered to result in the inability to recharge the battery.

A stop in two-time United States

in The United States, where 90 to 95% of the devices distributed have been returned to the brand, this extinction programmed will be used in several ways. In the United States it is as of 27 December, as the first users, those subscribers to the operator T-Mobile will not charge their Galaxy Note 7.

The subscribers of Verizon, AT&T and Sprint will have a small grace period and the maturity date was set at December 5th. The fault of the operator Verizon, has initially refused the solution of Samsung arguing that it could be dangerous if a user had a need to call in case of emergency. But later, Verizon agreed to this decision.

The inability to charge the battery and connect to a network has already been implemented in Canada and Australia on 15 December. In New Zealand this is the case since 18 December. In all these countries the rate of recovery of smatrphones was high and close to 95%.

A method is more progressive in Europe and in South Korea

however, the same policy will not be followed in Europe and in South Korea. In Europe, where Samsung is barely to recover its aircraft. The manufacturer south Korean prefer to reduce the level of load by offset and thus accelerate the returns. Passing progressively to 30%, then 15% and finally to 0%.

But you can not go abruptly to 0%. “To minimize the customer dissatisfaction, it is necessary first to increase the recovery rate to over 95%,” explains an official of Samsung, as quoted by the news agency south Korean Yonhap.

In the european countries where the Galaxy Note 7 has been distributed, the charge rate has been reduced from 60 to 30% maximum on 15 December last year.

In South Korea, where he is still currently 60% it should be reduced to 30% but the calendar has not yet been decided. In South Korea this rate is for the moment only 85% and in fact, the 140,000 Galaxy Note 7 are still in the nature on the 950.000 that had been distributed.

PSG nibbles and finished off on a good note – Eurosport.fr

This time, the Paris Saint-Germain will never be doubted. Well helped by Lorient completely absent and who have missed aggressiveness, the players of Unai Emery have held (5-0) at the Parc des Princes, for the account of the 19th day of Ligue 1. With this success, the Parisians put an end to three games without a win and come back to the five points of the leader of nice, held in failure to Bordeaux (0-0).

We were afraid of an evening difficult to Paris, across to Lorient in form in recent times. This will have been true… for about twenty minutes. The time for PSG to open the scoring, a little chanceusement, thanks to a center ran out of Miller that has lobed Delecroix (25th, 1-0). Until then, the players of Unai Emery, with Nkunku holder on the left flank of the attack, had pretty much dominated, without being put in danger, with the exception of a striking non-framed Waris (5th). But the purpose of Miller was released to the Parisians and put a big blow to the morale of Lorient. The result of the meeting is summarized in a festival of the players of the capital, clearly above and even found footage.

Thomas Meunier (PSG) congratulated by Lucas after his goal against LorientAFP

It must be said that the goal against his camp of Touré on a powerful center of Lucas (45th, 2-0) has definitely made dip the Hake, overwhelmed by the Parisians finally returns to a level worthy of their standing. And the winners of their fourth match in Ligue 1 in the absence of Di Maria. It is logical for Thiago Silva (51st, 3-0) head on a corner from Lucas, Cavani on a penalty kick earned and converted by the Uruguayan (63rd, 4-0) and Lucas an amazing lob in the face of Delecroix (70th, 5-0) have widened the gap after the break, in the face of Lorient apathetic.

A defeat heavy for Lorient but could have been much heavier. Because, despite his five goals, PSG still lacked efficiency, the image of Kurzawa (8th), Lucas (14th), Cavani (16th, 59th), Thiago Silva (19th, 80th), Nkunku (26th, 60th), Thiago Motta (57th), or Augustn, (89th). It doesn’t matter. Paris took the opportunity to full draw from Nice to Bordeaux (0-0) to return five of the top of the championship. The series of the PSG was bad ? At least, with this success, the holiday period will be more quiet.

Apple AirPods : in addition to being expensive, iFixit assigned the score of 0/10 ! – Area Digital

Available for a short time on the market, the AirPods in the Apple group are coming to pass through the hands of iFixit, who just awarded the worst score : 0/10 !

The AirPods Apple are de-boned by iFixit which gives them the worst note

AirPods have been unveiled by Apple during the keynote special held by the group at the beginning of September for the presentation of the iPhone 7, and which appear, therefore, to the price of 179 euros on the website of the american giant. Headphones that connect without any cable to the smartphone, but who do not have the slightest wire connection between them. They can also be sold by the unit, for the price of 69 dollars, which appears expensive, according to many sources. the iFixit is quick to reverse engineer, and just awarded the low score of 0/10 !

iFixit assigns a very low score of 0/10 for the AirPods Apple

iFixit hastened to reverse-engineer new products, High-Tech that come out on the market and what are the AirPods from Apple that come in to be dismantled, not without some difficulty. The report from iFixit is scathing, the headphones from Apple are not recyclable and repairable. As usual, iFixit assigns a grade of reparability the hardware de-boned. The headphones from Apple are not up to the expectations, as was the case for the iPhone 7, also de-boned and had received a score of 7/10 after 26 stages of disassembly.

It appeared that the AirPods are very difficult to be dismantled, that it is almost impossible to change the battery and they are poorly manufactured. The teams at iFixit have been forced to use a knife blade to be able to open the headphones. Simple to take in hand according to Apple, iFixit notes that they are not repairable by the firm of Cupertino. A lot of glue would have been used which makes the headphones almost indémontables without damaging them. Same topo for the battery that could not be removed by a professional. Of course the headphones of the Apple are of quality to the sound level and their use with the presence of the chip W1, but iFixit, whose role is to reverse engineer the new products put on the market, has all the same to assign the worst rating, 0/10.
