The NVIDIA Shield Android TV box is one of the best supported Android devices on the market. Launched in May of 2015, the company has been keeping it up to date with a pretty solid consistency. Android 8.0 Oreo arrived back in June with the SHIELD Experience 7.0 update, swiftly followed by a bugfix update to SHIELD Experience 7.0.1. Now, SHIELD Experience 7.1 is beginning to roll out for NVIDIA SHIELD TV owners in the closed preview program, and it brings NVIDIA Share and 120Hz display output support. You can check out the changelog below.

For those wondering, NVIDIA Share is basically just ShadowPlay but on an Android TV box. It can be used for recording gameplay moments and taking screenshots, though it was removed with the initial update to Android Oreo . What’s even better for gamers, though, is 120Hz support for supported monitors and TVs. That means you’ll be able to game at higher refresh rates, making for an overall smoother experience. It’s a small addition, but one that many gamers, in particular, will enjoy. You can check out a video of the new update below by YouTube channel NVIDIA Android Gaming .

On top of that, you’ll also get other features depending on the device you have.  The NVIDIA SHIELD 2017 gets a “Restart” option added to its quick settings, while the SHIELD Pro and SHIELD 2015 get a “Restart” option and a “Power off” option. To access these quick settings, simply hold down the back button while on the home screen. These are mostly just basic features which were on the device but removed for whatever reason with the Android Oreo update.

The update is currently rolling out as a private early access build, so the general public can’t get it yet. Still, assuming all goes well it’s likely that you’ll get the update on your NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV device in the near future. It’s a testament to the company that they are still updating the older 2015 SHIELD device despite them releasing two iterations after it. There are few manufacturers supplying three years of updates to their Android devices, yet NVIDIA seems to be doing it with ease. It’s likely thanks to the Tegra processors on board as they control the hardware, but it’s impressive nonetheless.

How to change the PIM of a VeraCrypt volume

The developers of VeraCrypt introduced Personal Iterations Multiplier (PIM) functionality in the encryption program in version 1.12 . PIM stands for "Personal Iterations Multiplier". It is a parameter that was introduced in VeraCrypt 1.12 and whose value controls the number of iterations used by the header key derivation function. PIM is used by volumes even if the creator of the volume did not specify a value. It is an optional component that improves security: it adds another step to the authentication process similarly to two-factor authentication. The main difference is that the PIM value is fixed and not generated on the fly when requested. An attacker needs to know the master password and the PIM, if not set to default, to breach the encryption successfully and access the content of the drive or partition. A couple of good reasons exist to change the PIM value: It was leaked or stolen. The default value is used and that is not as secure as using a custom PIM. Yo...

The 5 Best Free IPTV Apps to Watch Live TV on Android

It’s easier than ever to watch on-demand TV shows and movies on your Android device. But what about live TV? Yes, there are services like Sling and PlayStation Vue. However, if you know where to look, you don’t need to subscribe to their expensive plans. You can use free IPTV instead; you just need an IPTV app and an IPTV source. What Is an IPTV App? IPTV apps are a bit like Kodi; they are empty shells that can’t stream any content without some user input. You have the responsibility for adding channels, playlists, and other sources. Typically, you cannot use the apps to watch Netflix, Hulu, or direct content from other third-party providers. Here, we’re not interested in the best on-demand streaming apps or places to watch TV online. We are only looking at the IPTV apps themselves.
