Samsung Galaxy Note 20’s chipset might not be that bad after all

With the Galaxy Note 20 launch just a week away, all eyes will be on what upgrades Samsung brings to the table. While the chipset might remain unchanged, there might be a silver lining. While Samsung flagship like the Note series and the S series are powered by Snapdragon chipsets in the US and European markets, they come with Exynos chipset in Asian markets such as India. It often tends to lose out on the performance front against Qualcomm Snapdragon counterparts. However, a new leak suggests some good news in this regard.

'Keep Britain Connected' campaign highlights role of telecoms key workers

The Internet Service Providers Association (ISPA) has launched the ‘Keep Britain Connected’ campaign to celebrate and raise awareness of the role of key workers in the telecoms sector during the ongoing Coronavirus crisis.

This VPN could change everything with its decentralized approach

Consumers and businesses alike are now relying on VPNs to protect their privacy and increase their anonymity online. However, most VPN services are highly centralized and many lack transparency which makes it difficult to know how protected your data really is online. The blockchain-based ecosystem Tachyon has developed a decentralized VPN that it thinks could solve many of these issues. Tachyon VPN uses the Tachyon Node network as its infrastructure and service provider and as a result of this, its servers are not run by a centralized organization. This means that attackers or even governments can not pressure it to provide records on its users. Tachyon VPN is also adding new users at a steady pace as the service reached 50,000 global active users back in March and this month, it is now hosting 100,000 users according to Cointelegraph . V SYSTEMS' chief architect, Sunny King provided more details on the company's new VPN to the news outlet, saying: VPN usage soars across...
