Handheld ZX Spectrum 'pain in buttons'

The makers of a handheld ZX Spectrum console which has the support of Sir Clive Sinclair have blamed issues with the device's buttons for its delayed launch.

The retro gaming console received almost £500,000 ($0.6m) in crowdfunding earlier this year and was due to ship in September.

Retro Gaming Computers Limited has told the BBC the first batch will now ship in February 2017.

It features 1,000 pre-installed games.

The firm had said in an update on its Indiegogo page titled A Pain In The Buttons that testing had been "trickier than previously suspected".

Many backers leaving comments on the fundraising page had requested more information about what was happening.

"We expected teething trouble, being a new product, but we should be kept up to speed on all developments as after all we are the investors/backers and have made the project possible in the first place," wrote one by the name of John Smith.

"Just set the record straight. Give us evidence of working machines and menus. Box art, cad designs for buttons..." wrote Darren Randle.

'Sinclair legacy'

Managing director Suzanne Martin said the firm was sorry about the delay.

"In November we identified an improvement we believed was essential to the Vega+ gaming experience," she said.

"An improvement that would make the feel of the product far better, including a correction in the design of one of the buttons making it more robust and able to withstand the rigours of extended game-play. We also wanted to make sure we did justice to the Sinclair legacy.

"This change has caused a brief delay and we are truly sorry about that, but we needed this time to improve the product and we have now completed the necessary revisions and we are delighted to announce that we will ship the first units in February 2017."

Retro Gaming Computers Limited is also embroiled in a dispute with two former directors, who are no longer involved in the project but remain shareholders.

How To Monitor And Manage Connected Users On Your Hotspot

If you’re in the habit of leaving your Wifi hotspot enabled and open to connections from friends, family and or even colleagues, chances are, your hotspot would attract some of the bad guys too. Now, no need to panic if you already did. There’s a way to keep everything under control.

With any wifi analyzer you can get from the Google Play Store, you will be able to manage your hotspot, view detailed information of connected devices and block unwanted users – or so I thought at first!

However, my hopes of getting a wifi analyzer that could do exactly what I wanted without crashing every two or three minutes began diminishing after a few of searching and testing several apps until I finally came across this one dubbed Wifi Analyzer- Home Wifi Alert. It  just works!

With the app, I could finally block my younger bro’s Play Station (hehe) once he came online outside his free time. I could finally see the usage of data by my friends’ connected devices and block them off once they cross their boundaries. In fact, the app did just what I wanted.

Now, here are the key features of Wifi Analyzer- Home Wifi Alert:

• Network Analyzer:

– Displays IP addresses, MAC addresses, display names, access point you are connected to, and allows you to customize images/icons and edit display names.

• Wifi Strength:

-Wifi tester that shows Wifi signal strength! Also, shows you if you are connected to your internet and displays your routers public IP.

• Access Point Scan:

-Displays all router Access Points in range to you, what their MAC address are, channel they are using, and their db signal strength.

• Access Point Graphs:

-Displays the current channel your router is operating on and displays how many neighbors are on the same channel. On the channel rating page, it will rate which channel will be your best option to set your WiFi to for speed and reliability.

• Connections:

-Displays ALL connections that are currently connected through your device. It displays established foreign connections, listening IP, and closed connections. Each established IP is checked against 35 Backlisted databases to and displays if the IP’s are trusted or known threats!

• Block feature:

– The most useful/unique feature on this wifi analyzer/network analyzer. Brings you to your devices web interface so you can log in and input unwanted MAC address to the router’s filter table to block device from using the internet. Go to www.homewifialert.net to see how to use this function.

• Network Analyzer tools! On the tools tab, the app can provide DNS lookup, Whois data, ping/port scan host names and FQDN scans, and traceroute! Added Cell data strength gauge tab which displays Network type and Network speed data

• Protect yourself

Congested wifi channels and Untrusted (wifi theft) devices slow down your internet connection and put a strain on your Wifi! Don’t overpay for faster internet speeds or suffer with a slow connection, take charge and stop Wifi theft and pick the best wireless channel to be on altogether with Home Wifi Alert – Wifi analyzer.

Glo 4G extends to more than 33 Cities In Nigeria

Nigerians in different locations across the country have been empowered by Globacom’s nationwide mobile 4G Long Term Evolution (LTE) network which is now in 33 cities and towns, the company said in a statement yesterday.

“Sixteen new locations have just been added to the company’s 4G network.

Latest 2-Step Verification on whatsApp

The rollout of two-factor authentication for the popular messaging app, WhatsApp, has taken some time to arrive, but now it’s finally here.

According to a report from Android Police, the latest beta versions of WhatsApp (for Android, and, apparently, even the Windows Phone beta) feature two-factor authentication for added security. Within the app, users need to head into Settings, where there is an obvious “Two-step verification” option right there in the list.

Tapping that will take the user through the set-up process, which begins with explaining what two-factor authentication is. The next screen will have the user inputting a six-digit string of numbers in, confirming them, and then finishing up the process. Users will need to make sure an email is available to reset the password, if that is necessary at some point.

With two-step verification, WhatsApp users will have an extra level of security in place. It’s used for when a new device is registered with someone’s phone number for the service. Now, instead of that person, who might not be the owner of the account, immediately gaining access, they’ll need to put that six-digit code in. Without it, there won’t be access.

The new feature appears to be rolling out now, so WhatsApp users should expect to see it soon if they don’t already have access to it.
