Samsung Galaxy Note 9 launches in “First Snow White” color in Taiwan

December is right around the corner, which means it’s already time for Christmas shopping. And one of our favorite parts of the Christmas season, aside from Christmas trees, gifts, food, and the traditions, is the snowy, white winter weather. Christmas is a great time for deals and product launches as people move heaven and earth to find the perfect presents. Being one of the most popular devices out there, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 is sure to be a popular option for just about anyone. As snow begins to fall in parts of the world, Samsung has unveiled a new Galaxy Note 9 color option – First Snow White. Well, at least in Taiwan.

A white Galaxy Note 9 was first leaked by Evan Blass, and the final, official product resembles what he shared. We haven’t seen a flagship Samsung device launch in white since the Galaxy S7 in 2016, but we have a few key differences here. First off, the entirety of the phone (sans the front bezels) is a bright tone of white including the back panel, the camera accents, the fingerprint sensor, and through the aluminum frame with the Bixby/Volume/Power buttons. Even the S-Pen is white: Samsung paid attention to detail here. The result? A device that looks and feels outstanding in every way.

As for the internals, it is still the same Galaxy Note 9 we’re familiar with. The white version will, however, only be available in a 128GB storage configuration – if you want to get the 512GB version, you’ll have to get another color. The First Snow White Samsung Galaxy Note 9 has launched in Taiwan, although we don’t know if it will launch in other parts of the world. The device is still available in 4 other color options, including Midnight Black, Lavender Purple, Ocean Blue, and Metallic Copper.

What do you think about this new color option? Let us know in the comments.

How A/B Partitions and Seamless Updates Affect Custom Development on XDA

When Android Nougat released, it had us talking about all kinds of new features . We got a newly updated user interface for starters along with long-awaited multiwindow capabilities and Vulkan Graphics API support. But one under-the-hood addition flew over the heads of most users. Android Nougat introduced “Seamless Updates” on devices that support A/B partitions. The vast majority of existing Android devices (excluding the new Google Pixel and Google Pixel XL ) did not have A/B partitions at the time and thus couldn’t take advantage of seamless updates. The basic premise of this feature is that the device has a second set of the system, boot, vendor, and other important partitions, and when you get an OTA update the update happens in the background while the second set of partitions are patched which lets you reboot into an updated software build seamlessly. If an update fails, you’ll be kicked back to a working build, meaning companies will have fewer headaches to deal with and con...

Can you use the Tor Browser without Tor connection?

Tor Browser is a web browser specifically designed for privacy and anonymity. The web browser is a modified version of Firefox ESR that includes privacy tweaks and even some extensions to improve privacy and security on the Internet. What makes it special is that all connections go through several severs of the Tor network before they connect to the destination. Connections to Tor improve privacy when you are online but could you, in theory, run Tor Browser without Tor? Tor Browser without Tor would still provide better out-of-the-box privacy than Firefox ESR or Firefox Stable -- and other browsers. It is arguably the browser with the best default privacy configuration which might make it attractive to some users. Dropping Tor reduces privacy while online but that can be compensated, e.g. by connecting to a VPN or even chaining VPN services and it would speed things up significantly. Tor is the better choice when it comes to critical tasks, e.g. leaking documents or communication...
