So I am sure by now you've heard about the Jeep recall on well over 1 million of their vehicles due to a remote hacking vulnerability. If you haven't where on earth have you been? This definitely makes me look at the IoT (Internet of Things) philosophy a little differently. As more and more advances are made in technology and the integration of said technology into our daily lives grows this seems that it will be a more regular occurrence. But let's get back to this recall info...
Everyone who has a cell phone has the ability to text, and if you have an iPhone then you know that we (yes I'm an iPhone user) have iMessage. A messaging service exclusive to iOS. Well T-Mobile has announced that they will be launching an advanced messaging service for Samsung phones. It will have features such as the ability to send large picture files and you can see when the recipient is typing back. Like those dots in iMessage. Right now the feature is only available on the Samsung Grand Prime and of course is exclusive to T-Mobile. Samsung Galaxy S5 and S6 users will eventually be given the feature via a software update.
I know it's been a while since I posted, but I come bearing plenty of techie goodness! While I've been away I had the chance to use the Home Screen Router. This little device, that can fit in the palm of your two hands, can function as a standalone router, or a range extender.
I'm a mother, a wife, a network engineer...and I love tech! I wanted to create a platform to share my musings and insights on technology, apps, and the like to share with people. I hope you enjoy and please subscribe so you don't miss anything!
