Insta360 has unveiled an AI-powered 8K action camera, and GoPro should be concerned.

by technovatica.com on

The action camera market isn’t just a two-horse fight between GoPro and DJI; Insta360 is also a major contender, particularly with its most recent offering, the Ace Pro. We’ve already had some fun with the 8K shooter, and you can read about it in our hands-on Insta360 Ace Pro review. It offers some unique capabilities that could propel it to the top of the action camera market.

Of course, the 8K video recording takes center stage – something neither the GoPro Hero 12 Black nor the DJI Osmo Action 4 can do – but the Ace Pro is more than just high-resolution video.

It uses the same 1/1.3-inch sensor as the Osmo Action 4 but is larger than the Hero 12 Black’s and shoots 48MP stills in JPEG or DNG raw format. If you don’t need 8K video, which will be accessible via a firmware upgrade when the camera is released, the 4K video feature set is pretty good, with up to 120fps recording.

Insta360 has also utilized AI neural networks to denoise video footage to deliver clean, low-light videos in a ‘PureVideo’ mode, and has an Active HDR video mode for when the light is good. You also get Insta360’s FlowState stabilization for smooth footage and 360-degree horizon lock a la GoPro that keeps your video levels no matter what action is taking place.

Then there’s the incredible design. Unlike its competitors, the Ace Pro sports a larger and heavier touchscreen that flips up for selfie pictures. When you’re out and about capturing video and photographs, having an easier perspective from any angle comes in handy, whether you’re vlogging or filming sports.

There are also some interesting AI-assisted video assist capabilities, such as gesture control to activate photo and video record modes with a timer, as well as video editing tools that can select the best sections of your films for you. You can also choose between rapid release magnetic attachments like the Osmo Action 4 and traditional mounts like GoPro onto handlebars and helmets. The camera is also waterproof to a depth of 10 meters.

What is the advantage of Insta360?

On paper, and as our hands-on review demonstrates, the Insta360 Ace Pro is one of the greatest action cameras available, even without the availability of 8K video recording ahead of the release. It combines many of our favorite features from the Hero 12 Black and Osmo Action 4 into a one package, while also introducing new ones.

So we must have the best action camera in the world on our hands, right? Both yes and no. With a tiny sensor like the one used in these action cameras, there is a trade-off between quality and quantity. The Insta360 has a lot of pixels, and at the time of writing, there’s no Log color profile option like in the Hero 12 Black, so color adjustments are limited.

The video quality is excellent, but even in HDR video mode, we saw a difference in photo and video quality, with photographs clearly packing more detail. After all, we anticipate that the majority of consumers will use a camera like this primarily for video.

Future firmware upgrades may bring improvements, and we’ll look into doing comparisons amongst the top action cameras, as well as thoroughly testing that 8K functionality. For the time being, Insta360 has really shaken things up with the Ace Pro – it is an outstanding action camera.

Every new Disney Plus film will be available in November 2023.

by technovatica.com on

These are all of the new Disney Plus films that have been released on the platform since October began.

New Disney Plus movies are routinely added to the streaming giant’s back archive, and with the holiday season approaching, Disney is rolling out the red carpet for its collection of Christmas-themed material.

Dashing from the Snow, a Disney Plus original that looks at the mythology surrounding Santa Clause (sorry, kids) from a unique perspective, is leading the charge on one of the world’s top streaming services. With the holidays less than a month away, anticipate even more heartwarming and snow-filled films to join it in the coming weeks.

If you’re feeling like a Grinch, there are plenty of new non-Christmas movies to enjoy. Below is a list of every new Disney Plus film that has been added to the streaming service’s library since the beginning of October. If you’re looking for even more options, check out our greatest Disney Plus movies guide.

Visitors from the United States should be aware that some of the entries below are only available on Hulu. We’ve added a note to individuals who are affected (you can also read our new Hulu movies to learn more about what’s coming to the sibling streaming service in the United States). Meanwhile, here are all of the new Disney Plus movies that have recently debuted on the site.

NOVEMBER 2023: NEW DISNEY PLUS MOVIES

Dashing Through the Snow

Release date: November 17

Ludacris, a US rapper-turned-actor, co-stars with Lil Rey Howery (Free Guy) and Teyonah Parris (The Marvels, They Cloned Tyrone) in this festive farce that appears to be straining a little too hard to be humorous.

Eddie Garrick, played by Ludacris, is a good-hearted man who despises Christmas because of a horrible childhood experience. Eddie’s faith in the holiday season may be restored when he and his nine-year-old daughter Charlotte (Madison Skye Validum) encounter a mysterious, red-suited guy named Nick (Howery) who bears more than a passing similarity to Santa Clause.

Dashing Through the Snow obviously recognizes its target group, but it’s difficult to tell if it’ll be one of 2023’s new Disney Plus movies that viewers will remember. Perhaps one to reserve for when you’re feeling particularly festive in December.

Spider-Man: Far From Home

Release date: November 3 (US only)

Spider-Man: Far From Home, the second part in Tom Holland’s Spider-Man film trilogy for the MCU, has returned to the Disney Plus library (UK and Australian audiences can watch it on Netflix instead).

In the first MCU film following Avengers: Endgame, Holland’s Peter Parker struggles to return to what he considers a somewhat regular life. Parker continues to grieve the loss of his mentor Tony Stark/Iron Man after his heroic sacrifice in Endgame, struggles with telling M.J. (Zendaya) how he truly feels about her, and juggles his superhero exploits with his academics. Things become more complicated when Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson) and Mysterio (Jake Gyllenhaal), a supposedly multiversal superhero, ask his assistance in saving the planet from a new alien menace too.

Far From Home is a fantastic picture full of humor, tremendous action, fascinating drama, and emotional gut punches. It is arguably the poorest of Holland’s three films to date, but that is subjective given its 90% critical and 95% audience Rotten Tomatoes scores. See where it ranks in our list of the top Spider-Man movies, or learn how to watch the Spider-Man movies in order.

Quiz Lady

Release date: November 3 (available on Hulu in the US)

Quiz Lady stars Awkwafina (The Boys Presents: Diabolical, Shang-Chi) and Sandra Oh (Invincible, Killing Eve) as estranged sisters Anne and Jenny who meet when their mother dies. Unfortunately for the two, their mother amassed a massive gambling debt before passing away, and to make matters worse, Anne’s dog is abducted by their late parent’s criminal debt collectors.

However, after Anne demonstrates an unusual ability to properly answer questions on a quiz TV show, the duo embark on a cross-country expedition to convert Anne into a bona fide quiz champion, the proceeds of which will pay off said debt and allow Anne to reclaim her beloved hound.

Quiz Lady has been a surprising hit among fans and reviewers despite its lackluster trailer. Indeed, its 83% and 79% good ratings on Rotten Tomatoes attest to this. One of the new Disney Plus movies for November, with a passionate and funny tone that may be worth watching.

NEW DISNEY PLUS MOVIES TURNING IN OCTOBER 2023

Appendage

Release date: October 27 (available on Hulu in the US)

When it first appeared on Hulu, this Anna Zlokovic-directed picture – she also wrote the screenplay – could’ve been another undervalued horror film offering. However, its critical and financial reception hasn’t been as ecstatic as some might have imagined, so it won’t be a must-see for many.

Having said that, Appendage offers some advantages. It follows Hannah (Hadley Robinson), a fashion designer who is plagued by self-doubt. Hannah’s health rapidly deteriorates when her inner demons erupt to the surface and manifest as a horrific growth on her body – the titular appendage. But hope springs eternal, and she soon discovers that she isn’t the only one suffering from a debilitating, seemingly sentient tumor.

Appendage may have enough going for it (for some viewers, at least) with its odd body horror premise and at times humorous leanings to justify its 93-minute runtime. Others searching for something more conceptually substantial and frightening, on the other hand, will be disappointed.

The Boogeyman

Release date: October 11 (available on Hulu in the US)

The Boogeyman, based on Stephen King’s short story of the same name, spooked audiences when it hit theaters in mid-2023.

It centers on Sadie and Sawyer Harper (Sophie Thatcher and Vivien Lyra Blair), sisters who are struggling to cope with their mother’s recent death and whose grief-stricken therapist father Will (Chris Messina) has alienated them in the process. Things don’t get any better when one of Will’s patients shows up suddenly at their house one day, leaving behind a wicked supernatural entity that preys on their trauma.

When The Boogeyman was released, it received mixed reviews, with many applauding its occasional jump scares and foreboding, scary atmosphere while condemning its formulaic plot. Sure, it’s one to watch, but it’s not one to put to our list of the finest Hulu movies.

Mrs Doubtfire

Release date: October 6

Mrs Doubtfire, one of the late Robin Williams’ most beloved films, has entered Disney Plus’ back repertoire in the hopes of delivering joy to a new generation.

Williams portrays Daniel Hilliard, a freelance voice actor and recent divorcee who disguises himself as an elderly British lady (the eponymous character) in order to persuade ex-wife Miranda (Sally Field) to recruit him as their children’s new nanny. Daniel is first heartened by the opportunity to reunite with his children, but soon discovers that keeping up appearances isn’t as simple as he expected.

Mrs Doubtfire is a stone-cold comedy-drama classic, albeit one that’s a little out of date these days, thanks to Williams’ expectedly adorable and towering performance. Children may not fully comprehend it, but those wanting for some Williams-starring nostalgia will not be disappointed.

Google Photos has just made it a lot easier to organize your library – here’s how.

by technovatica.com on

Photo Stacks will put together photographs that have a similar appearance.

Google Photos is releasing two AI-powered capabilities to help you manage all of your family photos and screenshots in your disorganized profile.

Moving forward, the service will be able to recognize images “that were taken close together” and then aggregate them into what Google refers to as Photo Stacks. The AI appears to operate by choosing photographs that have visual similarities. The software will not select images with a different composition or topic matter. After you’ve made your picks, Google Photos will choose one of them to be the lead image. Of course, you may manually select the lead, “modify the stacks,” or “turn off” the feature entirely.

Filtering up screenshots

Google Photos will do something similar for “screenshots and documents in your gallery” by categorizing them automatically “into more helpful albums.” There will be an album for photographs of your ID card and receipts, as well as an album for “event information” such as an impending concert or festival. The idea here is to make it easy to find “what you need when you need it without having” to sift through a jumble of photos. 

You can also use the AI to set reminders on your phone calendar using information from a screenshot of a ticket or “flyer for an upcoming event.” As an example, suppose you grabbed a screenshot of a ticket to a concert on December 2. In Google Photos, there is a “Set Reminder” option at the bottom of the image. When you tap it, a calendar entry appears where you may input more information or update it. According to the firm, you may select to “automatically archive your screenshots… after 30 days,” which would remove them from the main gallery. They are still available in their respective albums.

According to the statement, the Google Photos upgrade is currently being rolled out to Android and iOS users. Keep an eye out for the patch whenever it arrives. There is no word on whether a PC version will be released, though we have asked Google for more information. If we receive a response, we will update this report.

While you’re here, have a look at TechRadar’s selection of the top photo storing and sharing services in 2023.

Here’s what you need to know when Samsung confirms a data breach.

by technovatica.com on

Samsung warns that some customers’ data may be at danger.

A large number of consumers have been notified by Samsung that their data may have been accessed and exposed to an unauthorized third party.

Those who made purchases on the Samsung UK online store between July 1, 2019, and June 30, 2020, in particular.

According to Samsung, particularly sensitive client data, such as payment information, is secure.

Breach of data at Samsung

The hacker is thought to have taken advantage of a flaw in a third-party program used by Samsung (via Bleeping Computer). Since then, the company has verified that it has “taken the necessary steps to resolve this issue,” which includes delivering a patch for the vulnerability.

An e-mail sent to clients reads: “On 13 November 2023, it was determined that an unauthorised individual exploited a vulnerability in a third-party business application we use, and that some personal information of certain customers who made purchases on SEUK’s eCommerce site between July 1, 2019, and June 30, 2020, was affected.”

According to the email advertisements, Samsung suspects that customer identities, phone numbers, addresses, and email addresses may have been compromised.

A corporate official verified to TechRadar Pro that the situation is only affecting consumers, staff, and shops in the United Kingdom:

“We were recently made aware of a cybersecurity incident that resulted in the unlawful acquisition of certain contact information from some Samsung UK e-store customers.” No financial information, such as bank or credit card numbers, or customer passwords, were compromised.”

Samsung also said it notified the data breach to the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office and contacted with affected customers, but didn’t go into much detail about how the issue occurred.

Some of Samsung’s most noteworthy phones were on sale during this time period, including the Galaxy S10, Galaxy S20, Galaxy Fold, and Galaxy Z Flip, which implies that individuals purchasing these models directly from Samsung UK may be affected.

Apple TV Plus pricing: the most recent price increase, plans, and current promotions

by technovatica.com on

Purchase a Golden Delicious Apple TV Plus subscription.

 

When it comes to streaming services, Apple TV Plus is still usually seen as an underdog. Its library of original content is constantly growing, although it remains on the slimmer side when compared to its competitors. However, the TV shows and movies it does have come with the added bonus of A-list talent and have won a number of important prizes along the way. While it is no longer as inexpensive as it once was due to an increase in the Apple TV Plus cost, offering one plan that includes 4K streams, offline viewing, and more, it remains one of the greatest values for money.

  • Apple TV Plus costs $9.99 with a 7-day free trial.

With its Golden Delicious free trial, Apple TV Plus is constantly attracting new subscribers and demonstrating the high-quality entertainment viewers can expect from one of the best streaming services as it evolves: slowly luring us in with addictively unique TV series like Lessons in Chemistry, The Morning Show, and Hijack.

The question remains: how does the price of Apple TV Plus compare to other platforms such as Amazon Prime and HBO Max? We’ll explain everything in detail below.

Apple TV Plus pricing and plans: a fast guide

Apple keeps things simple with a single plan that starts at $9.99 per month. This follows a price hike of one-third globally in October, when it was originally $6.99 per month. Keep in mind that with this one package, all users enjoy 4K broadcasts, offline viewing, and more, without having to pay a Premium charge, as many of its competitors now do.

You can also pay $99.99 annually after your Apple TV Plus free trial to save 15% throughout the year. This option can be found in your ‘Subscription’ settings.

Apple TV Plus is also available in 107 countries outside of the United States. Prices in important areas are as follows:

     Monthly                                                     Annual

                                                                         $9.99                                                         $99.9                                                                          Apple TV Plus                         AU$12.99                                                  AU$129.99
                                                                      NZ$14.99                                                   NZ$149.99

What exactly do I receive for the price of Apple TV Plus?

The low cost of Apple TV Plus grants access to an increasing number of TV shows, movies, and documentaries, including acquired content such as the Sundance hit CODA and Tom Hanks’ Greyhound, as well as the Fraggle Rock franchise. Everything is ad-free and available in gorgeous 4K, and one account can be shared with up to 5 other people.

With the Apple TV Plus app, you can stream the service from any device, including Samsung, LG, VIZIO, and Sony Smart TVs, Apple TV 4K and HD, Apple TV Plus on Roku, and Apple TV Plus on Fire Stick. Additionally, Google TV devices, PlayStation and Xbox consoles, and Apple gadgets such as the iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, and Mac are supported. It may also be viewed in a web browser on a Windows PC, Chrome OS, or Android device.

How does the price of Apple TV Plus compare to other streaming services?

We’ve put together a table that compares all ad-free plans from the most prominent streaming services to determine where Apple TV Plus fits in the market.

Streaming service                     Ad-free rate

Apple TV Plus                             $9.99 a month
Disney Plus                                $13.99 a month
Netflix                                         $15.49-$19.99 a month

How does the price of Apple TV Plus compare to Netflix?

It’s not a fair fight to pit a featherweight fighter against the heavyweight champion. In compared to Netflix’s 5000+ – a streaming library a hundred times larger – Apple TV Plus includes about 80 series, movies, and documentaries combined. In its defense, Apple has been focusing on creating brand-new, unique content, with much more on the way.

A basic Netflix plan costs $6.99 per month, which is the same as the monthly price of Apple TV Plus. It has a ton of content, but to have visual quality comparable to Apple’s, you’d have to go for its top-tier $19.99 Premium subscription. It’s now nearly four times the price of Apple TV Plus, which costs $6.99 and allows you to view everything in 4K and share your subscription with an additional five people with no advertisements.

While it won’t be able to replace Netflix for a long time, Apple TV Plus boasts an exciting lineup of original shows such as Schmigadoon and the sci-fi epic Foundation, as well as films and some amusing licensed content such as Charlie Schulz’s beloved Peanuts cartoons. At the very least, it’s a delectable side dish to Netflix’s all-you-can-eat buffet.

How does the price of Apple TV Plus compare to Amazon Prime Video?

Amazon Prime outnumbers Apple TV Plus in terms of volume, with nearly 13,000 episodes, films, and Amazon Originals including Steve McQueen’s Small Axe anthology and Tales From The Loop. Unfortunately, it has dropped its streaming-only plan, so you’ll have to pay up for a full Amazon Prime subscription, which starts at $14.99 per month, to enjoy it.

Amazon and Apple are more evenly matched in “the battle of the bundles.” Amazon Prime includes free delivery, music streaming, and much more for $14.99 per month, in addition to its incredible streaming library. Meanwhile, Apple One, which costs $14.95, allows you listen and download roughly 70 million music, play over 100 games with Apple Arcade, and has iCloud storage on top of Apple TV Plus. More information may be found in the Apple TV Plus deals section.

How does the pricing of Apple TV Plus compare to the price of Disney Plus?

Despite being released just two weeks apart, Apple TV Plus has not followed in the footsteps of Disney Plus. The Mouse House’s legendary content – Pixar’s animations, Marvel blockbusters, Star Wars films, and more – has propelled Disney Plus over 90 million followers in just over a year.

While both services previously offered a single streaming plan, Disney Plus now offers an ad-supported plan for $7.99 per month or the option to go ad-free for $10.99 per month. Regardless of which plan you choose, you can share your Disney Plus account with up to four people. However, the Apple TV Plus is less expensive and can be shared by up to six people.

Disney Plus had an early edge over Apple: it owned hundreds of films and TV shows with iconic characters like Iron Man, Han Solo, and Cinderella. However, while Disney Plus has brands, Apple TV Plus has stars. It’s a platform for A-list talent like Oprah Winfrey, Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Anniston, and even Prince Harry (! ), as well as obtaining buzz-worthy content from Will Smith and Martin Scorsese.

The Sony A9 III is the quickest mirrorless camera ever, with an innovative kind of sensor.

by technovatica.com on

What is the best sports and wildlife camera?

The Sony A9 III is the first full-frame camera to include a global shutter. This means it provides professional photographers with the fastest continuous burst shooting rate at full quality – a blistering 120fps for 24.6MP raw and JPEG shots.

There is no blackout during burst shooting, and thanks to the global shutter – which means that all of the sensor’s pixels are read simultaneously – there is no ‘rolling shutter’ distortion that can occur with ordinary sensors.

This implies that quick subjects and camera motions, such as panning alongside speeding bikes, are totally possible without fear of photo distortion. This record-breaking mode for a full-frame camera also comes with surprisingly few compromises.

Such burst sequences are only available for 1.6 seconds, but they do have continuous 759-point autofocus (using Sony’s AI AF technology for the best-ever subject identification and tracking performance) and auto exposure.

The Sony A9 III’s excellent features don’t stop there. The Sony A9 II successor can freeze action at 1/80,000s (another record), but this is limited to 1/16,000s when shooting continuously.

The camera also has flash sync speeds at any shutter speed and is powered by the Bionz ZR processing engine, which is reportedly eight times faster than the processor in the A9 II.

The A9 III’s in-body image stabilization system provides up to eight stops of adjustment, allowing sports and wildlife photographers to shoot handheld with confidence.

In contrast the A9 III is primarily a mirrorless camera for sports photographers, many of whom will hope to use it during the 2024 Paris Olympics, it also has some excellent video features.

It can shoot in 4K/60p (upsampled from 6K) and 4K/120p slow motion without cropping. The A9 III will be an excellent tool for hybrid shooters who need to capture a combination of images and video, thanks to 10-bit 4:2:2 All-I recording, 16-bit raw output, and compatibility for both S-Cinetone and S-Log3.

Sony pushes the camera envelope once more

While Canon and Nikon have worked hard over the last decade to match Sony’s level of camera innovation, the A9 III demonstrates that Sony is still the great boundary pusher – one of the reasons why we picked the tech giant as our brand of the year in the TechRadar Choice Awards 2023.

We’ve seen several fast sports cameras in the past, such as the Sony A9 II and, more recently, the Nikon Z9. The Z9 was the first professional camera to do away with the mechanical shutter entirely, instead relying on a stacked 45.7MP sensor to provide a purely digital shooting experience.

On paper, however, the Sony A9 III has surpassed it once again by becoming the first full-frame camera with a global shutter. While typical stacked sensors, such as the one used in the Nikon Z9, are quick, they can occasionally suffer from difficulties such as rolling shutter or limited flash sync speeds.

Since global shutters read all of the sensor’s pixels at the same time, the disadvantages of traditional electronic shutters are no longer an issue. That implies the A9 III can shoot at 120fps (although in 1.6-second bursts) and support flash sync at any shutter speed.

It remains to be seen whether the Sony A9 III’s use of a global shutter has any drawbacks, but we’re getting hands-on with one right now and will bring you our initial impressions very soon.

Prior to the iPhone’s privacy campaign, Apple referred to Android as a “massive tracking device.”

by technovatica.com on

However, Cupertino at least practices what it preaches.

Apple isn’t usually a company that criticizes others for their lack of technological adoption; rather, the Cupertino crew engages in reality distortion, hyping up technology that’s been integrated into the latest iPhones while ignoring the fact that Android devices have had it for years; cough iPhone 15 USB-C cough.

However, there are moments when Apple actually practices what it preaches, such as maintaining a strict privacy policy. This discovery was prompted by an internal presentation that appeared in a Google antitrust suit (h/t The Verge), in which Apple declared that Android is “a huge tracking device.”

This all stemmed from a presentation in which Apple outlined a push for “Competing on Privacy,” with the goal of handling data privacy better than competitors such as Facebook, Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. And Android appears to be getting a lot of attention.

Of course, both Android and iOS smartphones track their users in some way, with the goal of providing more targeted recommendations and advertisements, as well as fueling a number of services ranging from navigation to payments.

To its credit, Apple did not simply criticize Android; it has prioritized privacy. Instead of an opt-out method, Apple products need consumers to grant apps and services permission to track them for advertising purposes.

Pushing for privacy

In my experience, iPhones are far more careful and finicky when it comes to enabling certain permissions and flagging data collecting rules, whereas Android phones appear to be much happier to suck up data.

As a person enjoys going back over Google Maps’ Timeline feature to see where I may have gone after a few too many alcoholic beverages, I’m fine with some of the tracking Google apps and Android as a whole carry out. And I don’t mind if devices like the Google Pixel 8 Pro use my data to improve their AI functions.

Others, however, choose to retain a low profile and limit the amount of tracking and data collection that giant tech companies may do. I frequently have chats with folks who believe their social accounts and internet footprint are low, only to demonstrate how an app like Instagram may uncover profiles if they are partially linked to WhatsApp.

So, while Apple’s dedication to privacy is admirable, it is far from ideal. It’s also worth mentioning that Android’s privacy procedures have been strengthened, with more controls and prompts to share data access and tracking rather than requiring customers to opt-out after the fact. Various phone manufacturers have also incorporated privacy features on top of Android to provide customers more control over their data if necessary.

Netflix raises their fees another again?! I’m going back to watching television programming on cable.

by technovatica.com on

watching them was a bad idea.

That’s all I can think after hearing that another streaming service, this time Netflix, has raised its pricing even more.

When streaming initially took off a decade ago, it was spearheaded by individuals like me, Millennial cord-cutters who saw the high monthly price of cable TV and chose to save what little money we had (this was, after all, the never-ending aftermath of the 2008 Financial Crisis) and just watch the greatest Netflix shows.

It is critical to review the most recent facts in order to comprehend the most recent price rises and the causes for them. Remember that price hikes may vary by area, and Netflix may offer different subscription plans at different prices.
