The role of the professional driver is considered the 7th hardest job in the world. Technology is set to change that thanks to revolutionary designs and forward-thinking. Whether it’s taking a look at the overall health of the driver or providing necessary stats to the owner of the company, the addition of technology to the driving field is a welcome one. One of the biggest forces of technological advancement in the past year or two has been the Internet of Things. Discover the effect this technology has on professional drivers.
Interconnectivity on the road
One of the biggest frustrations for those who drive for a living is the sudden change of events on the road, such as bicycles swerving in from nowhere and broken down cars. The Internet of Things can minimize the risk for professional drivers with the use of sensors placed in bikes and helmets, cars, and even on the freeway itself. Constant data is fed through the cloud and drivers can be alerted to high-traffic situations, potential danger, and even unsafe road conditions.
Improved mitigation of risk and data analysis
There is a ton of information to analyze and for the owners of transport or delivery companies, this can translate into profit management too. With the help of various data-collecting points through IoT technology, potential risks are easier to identify, and therefore, easier to manage. The insurance industry has seen a surge in requests to include IoT statistics in their risk assessment models. For the owners of transport and delivery companies, this could mean a significant reduction in premiums if the technology proves a reduction in risk. Insurers will need to ensure they remain relevant in order to still provide competitive insurance quotes.
Collection of vital data
The communication between the various devices connected through IoT is not only stored in the cloud, but also analyzed in order to assist in predictive analytics. This is a gamechanger for anyone who owns a company that requires a fleet of vehicles as it can highlight urgent matters such as higher fuel costs for certain vehicles indicating a possible need for a service, and more. It also provides helpful insight into driver habits, safety concerns, and more.
Increased levels of driver safety
Before, the release of the autonomous truck was the most anticipated development in the transport industry. Nowadays, it’s the integration of technology in the cab of the truck that ticks the most boxes. It turns out there are a number of scanners and monitors that provide truck drivers with accurate, up-to-date information about their own personal health. Things such as resting heart rate, eye blinking, and breathing are monitored to ensure the driver stays awake behind the wheel. But these sensors, combined with wearable tech and IoT, also give drivers other information about their personal health and will alert them if they need to seek medical attention.
Technology is a game changer for everyone who needs to climb in behind the wheel, especially those who do it for a living. IoT not only helps populate information regarding driver’s logs but also safety matters.

Design and Build for Asus ZenBook UX370
Coming to the design and built part of the Zenbook it is impressively thin, light and beautiful. The laptop is incredibly slim and light and measured measuring 12.32 x 8.58 x 0.43 inches. The laptop only weighs 1.1kg which is amazingly light. The laptop is a convertible laptop which means who you flip the display to use it as a laptop if you want.
The body part of the UX370 is made up of glass and aluminum with proper golden edges all over. The top side of the lid has a textured concentric signature finish from Asus which is kind of attractive and adds up luxury feel.
Coming to the other area of a laptop like a palm rest area, it has proper space which is needed by a person which working on it. We also get a full-sized keyboard which works well. The keys also make a sound while we use them. They are made up of solid plastic and not rubber which makes it way better while typing. The spacing between the keys are proper and are well comfortable while typing. Take my words while using the keyboard of UX370 you are going to love the typing experience.
It has a decent VGA camera for a web face to face chatting with your friends. I really don’t know why brands add VGA camera in these high-end models. In low light, it will struggle a bit, due to which I will suggest you use additional LED light in front of your face.
The trackpad which we get in on UX370 works great. It is as smooth as we get in any Macbook. We also get a fingerprint sensor inbuilt on the right side of the laptop. The fingerprint sensor works well and is accurate.
Ports are the thing which you are going to miss on this laptop. On the left side, we get USB Type C 3.1 port and besides it a 3.5 mm audio jack. We also get an air went on the left side.
Coming to the right side we get another USB Type C 3.1 port. Beside it, we get a Fingerprint sensor, power button and volume rockers which works quite well. Rest there is nothing much which we need to explain over here. Rest, when we get such compact, small and lightweight beast we can adjust out with these minimum ports.
Display and Speaker on Asus Zenbook Flip S UX370
The ZenBook UX370 gets a 13.3-inch IPS Full HD (1,920x1080p) multitouch display. You can also use the stylus to control and operate the OS. To make it better Asus can also add up an anti-glare coating on the display still, Watching content like movies will just going to give you an amazing experience. The display is reproducing vivid colors which offer sharp, bright, and great picture quality. Overall this IPS panel works well on this laptop.
The Asus ZenBook UX370 comes with stereo speakers. We are getting four stereo speakers placed on the deck of the laptop. The speakers which we get are from Harman Kardon and are above average in performance rather I loved the sound output. The sound from these speakers gives you above average bass as well as quite a loud sound which we get also tweak using the AudioWizard app.
Performance on Asus Zenbook Flip S UX370
1 of 4
Coming to the main part which is performance, here Asus ZenBook UX370 comes with Core i7-8550U CPU which is supported with 16GB of DDR3 memory, and a 512GB SSD. This all is supported with integrated Intel HD 620 graphics card. With this integrated graphics, we get easily do 720p gaming, Photo, and video editing. We can also watch 4k movies and Web Browsing.
The only issue I find in the laptop is that due to too much slimness and high-end specification it heats up to 42 degree Celsius while watching HD movies and editing videos on premier pro. You can also do normal gaming on the laptop. With this lightweight, it is still enough for office usage.
Battery Life on Asus Zenbook Flip S UX370
According to my usage, while working on a word or using a web browser for typing articles and surfing it was leading me about 7 to 8 hours and rest depends on work to work. If you are doing Photoshop, Premier pro and other high-intensity work it will hardly lead you to about 2 to 3 hours battery backup. At this price, it seems to be ok to me because you can always upgrade the battery from external market according to your usage and work.
Verdict on Asus Zenbook Flip S UX370
If you want a high-end slim and light laptop which is also a 2-in-1 laptop then Zenbook Flip S is well worth a look for you. It is perfectly fine for daily office use. The best thing is you will love the typing experience on this laptop.

Apple is back in the hype with their new 2018 smartphone lineup to be released soon. According to various leaks, the company is planning to launch three new models this year. Various sources claim that Apple will be pricing its devices aggressively in all markets. One of the recent leaks suggests at a 6.1-inch screen and another 6.5-inch model.
Many are already calling the 6.1-inch screen device to be the new iPhone 9. This is supposed to be a successor to the iPhone 8. This should be a cheaper device compared to the 6.5-inch screen model that is supposed to be the iPhone X Plus. The company has been leaking a variety of details of their new smartphones.
via forbes.com
Recently Apple accidentally released the new iOS 12 beta 5. This mistake happened again which was picked up by a Brazilian website iHelpBR which revealed that the iPhone X Plus will have a massive 6.5-inch display which will make the device work more like an iPad. Some precious leaks had suggested a screen resolution of 2688 x 1242 for the iPhone X Plus. So, iHelpBR used Apple’s Xcode iOS Simulator to run the iOS 12 beta 5 that revealed secret landscape modes and many new interfaces for core Apple iPhone applications. Apple had been working on the landscape mode for some time and from the looks of it, it will finally make its way in the iPhone X Plus.
This substantial feature will make the iPhone X Plus more productivity-focused, which will make up for a major selling point for Apple. The company might not provide the landscape mode for their iPhone 9 to boost the sales of the iPhone X. Apple will be aiming at different price levels of the market where iPhone 9 will be a budget-friendly offering. Since Apple will be pricing aggressively, iPhone X Plus will be a device to look out for.

There are several websites that we use regularly, like our favorite Gmail, Facebook, Instagram etc. The one thing that is vital about all of this is they we handle information on such platforms, and these services are not just for entertainment purposes, but they are a part of our life. And as much as important a person’s data is, it’s also important that we keep that data secure and safe, well in this digital word everything heavily relies on privacy and security, and that directly relates to passwords. A report suggests that two-thirds of people normally use one password for all of their online account, which is highly un-secure. We get it passwords are complex to remember and since you do not have just one but multiple accounts, it’s hard to remember all those IDs and passwords. So, what exactly a solution for that?
Password manager… A password manager is a software that holds all your accounts, IDs and passwords in a secure encrypted storage, which only you can access. They play a big role in securing all our accounts information in one place and give a sense of security to the user. Now there is plenty of password manager that promises so many different feature and security services one can use, but which one is actually viable?
So, we searched and found a really interest password manager that promises some premium feature but comes free of cost. The Cyclonis Password Manager; the software is free of cost and has features such as encryption technology, cloud synchronization, vault, bank detail security etc. So, let’s see how much good are these features actually and how safe our information is?
What is Cyclonis Password Manager?
The Cyclonis password manager is as similar to any conventional password manager that you have seen or used, but it comes with a perk. IT’s FREE and offers an approximately equal level of security in terms of data encryption and security. Well, we personally used the software and we were surprised to see such feature in a tiny package.
Features We Liked
1 of 5
As far as we have seen and used the software, there are few features that we really like. Let’s see them.
AES-256 Encryption- Advance encryption standard 256 stands for encryption security on your data. This level of encryption is so advanced that even top security agencies like NSA, use it for their cryptographical module. It’s nearly impossible to break that level of encryption even for a supercomputer. Cyclonis uses this level of encryption to create a vault, in which all your IDs, passwords and bank details exist, which can only be unlocked with one master password. This is a highly secure method of protecting any kind of information.
Password Generator- Probably the most rated feature of this app makes this a unique application to use. The password generator is used to create a random password for your online accounts, it can be anything, mostly all these passwords are very complex since they are created randomly by the application itself. So, it’s better to let the manager takes care of it.
Cloud synchronization- if you’re using your accounts on multiple devices, you would need this. Cloud synchronization uses your cloud services like One drive, Google Drive, Dropbox etc. services to upload the privately accessible vault, where all your passwords are kept secure. With it you can access your information from any internet enabled device.
Data import/export- This feature allows Cyclonis to import data from different browsers, so you don’t have to manually enter every account detail. Which becomes very simple for the user and also at the time of exporting into the browser. It also imports CSV files from another password manager.
Password analyzer- The software comes with a dedicated password analyzer, which analysis all your accounts password and tells you how much secure the password is. It categorizes every password in various sections, instructing you to increase the password complexity, reused password, old passwords and passwords that can be compromised easily.
Private notes- The software also comes with some individual feature, such as secure notes. Where you can create a note and it will be saved in the vault. The vault will only be accessible by a master password, that will be requested to create at the installation process.
Browser integration- A browser integration is nothing but an add-on extension of the browser itself. The Cyclonis browser extension allows the user to access their accounts and IDs in a much secure way, even when you have saved the password within the browser. You can also set to automatic login when you open the desired page, which is quite handy.
Why do I need a password manager?
Initially, we were not very fond of passwords managers and till now they are not really popular among net users, and there is a certain reason for that. The conventional password managers are either fake or don’t offer a higher security, the only ones that are highly recommended and used are paid application. That creates a stigma around users and they don’t usually trust in a third-party application with their passwords or bank details.
Most users have the same passwords for their Facebook, Gmail, Instagram etc. But as a user, everyone should have a certain level of security on their accounts, especially on the internet. It’s not just because you keep forgetting passwords but it’s more about keeping your accounts secure. The preliminary reason why people get hacked easily is that their password is very easy to guess. A password manager helps keep your password complex and secure at the same time, giving you a sense of relief.
Our Opinion
As a freeware, the Cyclonis password manager achieves our expectation mark. It has a really easy-to-use UI, the installation process is quick, it has got a higher level of encryption, you can even integrate with cloud services, create a vault for your personal files and can even integrate with browser add-on for quick and secure user login. The only downfall that the product has that it’s not available on mobile devices such as Android or iOS, so you have to manually enter the IDs and passcode into your app. Although the folks at Cyclonis are working on an Android app until it’s not launched users may have to face some issue. What seems like a Freeware Password manager, Cyclonis may turn some user attention and make them browse the web more securely.
That’s all for this guys, stay tuned for next one.

Vivo a few days back launched an amazing device in the Indian market. The device is innovative in all its aspects. As of now for as a normal user I don’t think so there is any flaw in this device. Even the pricing of the device is quite aggressive this time if we consider the technology which they have used in their device. It is the basically a flagship which is way better and ahead of Samsung and apple. So, here are my top 5 reasons why you should buy Vivo Nex.
The Vivo Nex comes with an all-screen design up front and to achieve that the company had to hide the front-facing camera. As the selfie camera mechanically pops out, which makes the Vivo worlds first to come up with that technology in the world. Vivo has also showcased the durability of the pop-up camera by putting a 12mm glass on a few phones pop up the camera and a dancer dancing on top of it.
Earpiece
Just as we have seen in previous generation Xiaomi Mi Mix, the Vivo Nex also uses next-generation bone conduction technology. Using this technology you can place your ear anywhere on the display and you would be able to hear the audio loud crisp and clear. This next-generation technology is way ahead of Xiaomi Mi Mix as while you are traveling with too much noise you would be able to use this bone conduction audio technology perfectly without any issue.
Biometrics Unlock
Now, this is another amazing technology which Vivo has used in their device. They are using world’s first in display fingerprint sensor. Vivo first came up with in display fingerprint sensor in Vivo x21 which sells up quite well in the market and now this elevated camera they have combined the in display fingerprint which makes this device from the future. Vivo has refined the future with this device.
Hardware and Software
The Vivo Nex runs on Android 8.1 Oreo-based FuntouchOS 4 out of the box. The custom UI on the Nex does bring a ton of features like gesture controls. The nex is packed with snapdragon 845 processor 8GB RAM and 128GB Internal storage which is I think enough to say anything. Beyond these specifications is nothing to explain.
Price
Vivo Nex is currently priced at Rs. 44,990 and will be exclusively available via Amazon India starting July 21. The smartphone as per the technology used perfectly prices if we compare the same with Oppo Find X. Whenever they came up with this in the offline market, they are going to blow up the stock with great sales.
We have seen so many 3-Axis Smartphone Gimbal Stabilizer, but all of them are from Chinese brands. So, to give competition to them Digitek a well known Indian brand came up with India’s first 3-Axis Smartphone Gimbal Stabilizer which also supports in usage charging and face tracking that too in very affordable pricing.
We all are very much familiar that while recording videos or even taking some still shots keeping your hand steady is a big task. So, to overcome with that stuff Digitek comes up with their new 3-Axis Smartphone Gimbal Stabilizer. Now you don’t need to worry about any shakiness in your videos or any blurry images due to unsteady hands. The Digitek DSG 005 is a product which is developed in India and you can buy the same at Rs. 7,499 from Amazon.in
Digitek DSG 005: Specifications
The Digitek DSG 005 is a 3-axis gimbal stabilizer. It is having a joystick which is actually used to control all the actions done by the gimbal. The Gimbal can be used single-handedly. Gimbal can used in any direction and is very easy to take a pan and tilt shots using this gimbal. You have different modes in Digitek gimbal like pan mode, tilt mode, lock mode etc. The best thing I loved is the pricing because as of now we need to pay more than Rs 15,000 to get a good gimbal from Chinese market that too without warranty but with Digitek everything is changed.
You can use a stabilizer with its own application or without it totally depends on you. I will prefer you to use there accompanying app to get better usage of the gimbal. Once your smartphone gets synced and activated, the Digitek gimbal will unlock more advanced features which include face tracking, time lapse functions, smart object track, panorama shooting, and zoom control.
I will be explaining each and every mode in our upcoming review for the same. It weighs only 423 grams. Despite the lightweight, the device also packs about 10 hours of active usage.
