Samsung could extend the commercialization of the Galaxy Note 7 FE outside the South Korean borders. According to a source close to The Investor newspaper.

While it has just been marketed in South Korea, the Galaxy Note 7 Fan Edition could be offered in other countries. That is what the The Investor newspaper says. The source said that following the success of this reconditioned version of Note 7, Samsung plans to offer it in other countries by the end of July. It remains to establish the list of countries eligible for the "recycling" operation and to fix the price of the machine which will not be able to cannibalize the sales of the S8 or the next Note 8, more "premium", expected end August.

Pokémon Go: more than 65 million people still play a year after

Although Pokémon Go lost a lot of players in its first year of life, the flagship mobile game of summer 2016 still had more than 65 million monthly active users in April 2017.

No, Pokémon Go is not dead, far from it. The successful mobile game (more than 750 million downloads in total) of Niantic and Nintendo celebrated its first anniversary on Thursday, July 6th. And even if he lost a lot of players on the way, the title continues to gather virtually the equivalent of the French population every month!

In an interview with John Hanke, the press attaché accompanying the founder and CEO of Niantic told CNET.com colleagues that in April 2017, more than 65 million people were still playing Pokémon Go each month. That's more than the number of users of all Blizzard games (World of Warcarft, Overwatch, Diablo, StarCraft ...), which rises to 41 million. It is also more than the 40 million users of the Uber VTC service but less than League of Legends, which nevertheless counts 100 million active users per month.

Pokémon Go is therefore in top form whatever its detractors say, and Niantic too. John Hanke explains that his company is now profitable, and that it grew well thanks to Pokémon Go. Moreover, the teams working on this title have doubled in volume since its launch last summer.

The future of Niantic and Pokémon Go seems radiant in reality, especially as the developer still has cards to shoot: the company promises us since the release of the game the arrival of fighting between players and a system of exchanges, Without this happening. In this regard, John Hanke said, "These are things that we think about as next features. We have not yet done anything about it yet. "

In addition, the company will soon feature the legendary Pokémon and without doubts other creatures (a little later) as many of them are still missing the call. So expect a major game update this year.

A phone that works without a battery is possible

A team of researchers at the University of Washington has designed the first cellphone with no battery. The device simply uses the energy of the surrounding waves and light to make calls.

  While our current smartphones are still demanding more energy to operate, a team of six American researchers at the University of Washington has developed the first cell phone capable of doing without a battery. Still at the prototype stage, the device (or rather the circuit board and its earphones) needs only 3.5 microwatts of electricity to function.

This energy, the device will pick it up in the ambient radio waves through an antenna, and in the light through a tiny solar cell. Note also that the phone was built from components that are found in the trade. It is capable of basic functions: to make or receive calls (with a bad sound quality and by pressing a button to speak, as with a walkie talkie) as well as to put the correspondents on hold. Scientists have even succeeded in getting communication through Skype into VoIP.

Normally, making a phone call requires a lot of energy as it is necessary to convert the analog sound signals, voices, into digital signals. Here, the process was simply deleted. Instead, the user speaks in a passive microphone, the vibrations caused cause electrical variations in radio waves emitted by a nearby base station. These waves picked up by the telephone and then modified by the microphone are then reflected back to the base station, which can interpret the variations to convert them back into audio signals. He then simply sends the result to the networks of the operators.

Reports indicate the penetration of more than 12 nuclear power plants in the United States!

According to The New York Times, hackers have targeted unknown networks of companies responsible for operating nuclear power plants in the United States over the past two months. According to a joint report issued by the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation earlier this week, the Times story sets one goal, the Wolf Creek Nuclear Operations Foundation, a facility responsible for overseeing the operation of a nuclear power plant outside Burlington, Kansas. The report also states that energy companies and manufacturing plants are also targeted, but none have been identified by name.

The intensity of the attacks remains unclear, as is the motive behind the cyber attacks. Pirates may be interested in stealing trade secrets in US infrastructure or disrupting the operation of power facilities. It is also unclear whether more than one facility in charge of a nuclear power plant has been successfully penetrated, or if Wolf Creek employees are the only victims so far.

There is no indication that hackers have been able to jump from the computers of their victims to systems of control over facilities," the report said. Wolff Creek officials also confirmed to The Times that its "systems of operations" were kept separate from the computer network from the facility, to prevent such cyber attacks and not to allow hackers to directly control power plant systems.

However, hacking is a serious cause for concern. The joint report notes that pirates are interested in drawing up computer networks to report potential attacks in the future. These attacks focused on staff with direct access to systems that could cause environmental disasters such as toxic waste and fire. It does not appear that the group or individuals concerned have been able to bypass individual computers from industrial control engineers so far.
