Apple warns Pro Display XDR users not to use non-Apple polishing cloths to clean the nano-texture glass

Now Apple has released support documents with special instructions to clean the Pro Display XDR model with nano-texture glass. Apple's support page has cleaning instructions for both standard glass and the model with nano-texture glass. Apple mentions that to clean the standard glass, Pro Display XDR customers should use the polishing cloth that came with the display or another "clean, dry, micro-fiber cloth". It also suggests users to first disconnect the display from power for additional cleaning of the glass. The cleaning instructions for the standard glass is quite basic and simple. But for the model with nano-texture glass, it is quite different and bizarre.

Google Chrome gets better password and real time phishing protection

Google has rolled out an update to the Chrome browser that includes more secure password protection in the case of a data breach, real time phishing protection, predictive phishing protection and small UI tweaks to make it easier to see what used account is being used. Password protection was developed as a separate extension by Google for Chrome earlier this year which was integrated into the Google account in October. Now Google is updating the feature to ensure your accounts stay protected during data breaches. When Google discovers a users account was compromised in a data breach, Chrome will automatically notify you and strongly suggest you to change the passwords. The way Google identifies if your account is compromised involves an encrypted technique called private set intersection with blinding which ensures user privacy is maintained throughout the entire process. The second update involves making phishing techniques work in real time. Google refreshes its list of phishing websites every 30 minutes which works with the Safe Browsing feature in Chrome to ensure users aren't exposed to these malicious websites. In case a website manages to get through within that 30 minute window, Chrome now offers real-time phishing protections on desktop, which warn you when visiting ...

Top-notch build with premium vibes. The newest offering from realme is built to impress, with some seriously out of paper specifications. realme X2 Pro oozes premium vibes all over with metal and glass sandwich design. We had the Neptune Blue color, but the Lunar White variant would have been great. It's worth mentioning that both front and rear are protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The weight distribution is proper but slightly weighted towards the top. [gallery link="file" columns="2" size="medium" ids="298415,298414,298417,298416"] In terms of dimensions, X2 measures 8.7mm in thickness and weighs around 199 grams. Due to glass build, it attracts fingerprints and smudges on both front and back. Since its slippery, using it in one-hand without any protective case is not recommended. On the rear, realme's logo is placed in an awkward horizontal orientation near the camera module. 90Hz AMOLED display is ...
