The Tecno Kenya Facebook page was the first to announce the Tecno Camon C5 followed by the Uganda page. The Nigerian page hasn’t posted yet which is no surprise because we’ve seen phones get to Uganda before they are even launched in Nigeria which is Tecno’s biggest stronghold We are not able to verify the Tecno Camon C5 specs yet other than the fact that it’s a 4G device. We are also not yet sure how much the device will go for but from the information we have gathered, the device is mid range and will cost between Ugx 400,000 – Ugx 600,000....

In that light, I’ll highlight 5 applaudable features that I find really interesting on the Phantom 9 smartphone. In the same vein, I’ll also point out some disappointing specs that the device houses. You ready? Let’s go. Top Tecno Phantom 9 features 1. AMOLED Display Tecno did well to use an AMOLED display on the Phantom 9 smartphone. Asides from making the device worthy of being called a ‘true flagship smartphone,’ it positions it as a brilliant upgrade to the old Phantom 8....

Multiple Accounts You know how it is with app accounts. To create one, we only get to use one unique phone number for authentication purposes. Most phone numbers are only good for one account on a particular app, which sucks. Telegram already offered multiple themes and skinning of the app. Now Telegram 4.7 supports multiple accounts. Telegram supports up to three accounts with different phone numbers. This should be welcome news especially for our Iranian brothers and sisters who for some reason really love having multiple accounts from what we’ve seen....

WHAT IT MEANS TO LIVE IN THE VILLAGE My name is Onyait Odeke. I am the last of 10 children. When I was younger, my cousins, nephews, nieces and I were always taken to the village for holidays. While some people went to meet their grannies in the village, I went to see my mother who lived there. Like many villages, mine is off the grid and has no electricity. We’ve lived there for a long time and it is not certain when or if electricity will ever be connected....

An eclipse occurs when one object gets in between you and another object and blocks your view. From Earth, we routinely experience two kinds of eclipses: an eclipse of the Moon and an eclipse of the Sun. There are three types of a solar eclipse: total, partial, and annular. During a total eclipse, the Moon completely covers our view of the Sun. A total eclipse is only visible from a narrow strip (about 150 km wide) of the Earth’s surface at any one time....

SoC vs CPU: What is a CPU (Central Processing Unit)? At its core (yes, pun intended) a Central Processing Unit or Processor is the brains of the outfit. In the grand scheme of things, it’s only a cog in the wheel, albeit a vital one. It sits on top of a Motherboard which is often called the heart of a computer. A CPU is the math genius and big boss man in a computer which does what I unofficially like to call FEDEX: Fetch, Decode and Execute....

What exactly is buffering? To understand what buffering is, you have to first understand how streaming videos online works. Streaming is similar to regular download, only that when you stream a media file (video or music), you are playing the media in real-time directly from the source. In addition, while regular download saves the media to your device’s local/built-in storage, streaming downloads the media to a temporary holding place (called buffer) in your device’s RAM....

Some onlookers are also wondering if this would affect the amount of time users spend on the site. But some said this will change the relationship people have with the app. Oliver Yonchev, U.S. managing director at social media company The Social Chain, said this should have the result of Instagram users posting “a lot more.” Influencers One group that may be affected is Instagram “influencers,” the major, minor or micro celebrities who use social media to market products and otherwise influence their hordes of followers....

MacBooks have very excellent displays, the flash storage is the fastest there is, and their track pads are excellent and unrivaled....

What Chrome does is to isolate each tab, plugin, or extension you use in a different RAM process preventing each process from writing to another one. In case any crashes, the entire browser remains stable without having to refresh the tab. The browser also does pre-rendering by predicting the top search result from Google as your next visit, consuming memory in the process. Consuming so much RAM eventually slows down your machine, and if you presume that Chrome is responsible – then you ought to check your computer’s processes....
