YouTube is experimenting with a language picker in voice search

Shortly after developers started testing an all-in-one record and publish feature in the YouTube app, they added another experiment that will be useful for those of us who prefer to just watch videos. You are working on a button with which you can change the language search languages ​​directly on the input screen. If you are multilingual and want to use voice search, this way you can search for videos that are not available in the language you set up in your YouTube app settings. Google hopes the test will help its voice search systems better consider multilingual people. So I wouldn't be surprised if an automatic solution to recognize different languages ​​is the ultimate goal. Finally, I still think that Google should work to improve the current language bilingual solutions. A blue banner with further details should appear on this screen when you participate in the experiment. As with all of these experiments, the feature is also provided to a small subset of users. You should s

Review: Samsung's Galaxy A51 misses the mark in several key areas

http://bit.ly/2I4JPOg The Galaxy A51 offers camera and design upgrades, but the underlying hardware is unchanged from 2019. Under increased pressure from Chinese rivals, Samsung overhauled its budget strategy last year. The underwhelming Galaxy J series was gone, and the Galaxy A lineup essentially took its place. Samsung traditionally limited the Galaxy A series to the mid-range segment, but now it fields devices starting as low as $120 all the way to $600. The new-found change in focus also came with better product releases. The Galaxy A50 was one of the best budget phones you could buy in 2019, featuring great hardware, a fresh design, and decent cameras. In typical Samsung fashion, the company introduced an updated model six months down the line in the Galaxy A50s, and now we have the Galaxy A51. The Galaxy A51 is a continuation of what Samsung has been doing in this segment for the last 12 months. There are a few enticing changes — particularly around the camera side of t

Here's how to watch the Aston Villa vs. Man City Carabao Cup final online

http://bit.ly/3cge7eK Can Pep Guardiola's men make it five League Cup triumphs in seven seasons? Having won four out of the last six League Cup finals, it almost feels strange when Manchester City aren't involved in the Carabao Cup Final. Pep Guardiola's Sky Blues this time face an Aston Villa side that has cast aside its struggles at the foot of the Premier League to put themselves in contention of winning their first silverware since lifting the League Cup back in 1996. If the task in front of Villa wasn't daunting enough, they'll be heading into Sunday's showdown at Wembley against a side that will be bristling with confidence following their stunning midweek Champions League victory over Real Madrid at the Bernabéu. Man City have previously lifted the League Cup trophy six times, while the Villans, who were the tournament's inaugural winners back in 1960, have won the Cup on five occasions. Should any of City star's Fernandinho, David Silva o

Qualcomm Snapdragon X60 vs. X55: Next year's ultra-fast 5G chip, explained

http://bit.ly/3chs38G Qualcomm's third-generation 5G modem brings that 5G speed you've been hearing about plus a lot more. When it comes to new technology, there's a natural timeline that seems to happen. The first generation feels like a proof of concept and offers enough to get us interested, the second generation works of fixing flaws and refining the basics, and the third generation is when it is mature enough that you really want to have it. Qualcomm's Snapdragon X60 5G modem is just that: the third generation of the company's 5G modems and it's ready for prime time. Compared to the X50 (first-generation) and X55 (second-generation) it's set up to make considerably better use of 5G networks in ways that we will notice. Smaller is better The X50 was built on a 10-nanometer process and the X55 was built on a 7-nanometer manufacturing process. With the X60, Qualcomm says it has moved forward and it will be built using a 5-nanometer manufacturing

August View Wireless Video Doorbell review: Basic and buggy

http://bit.ly/2T4ofzS Despite a successful relaunch, the August View still doesn't quite stack up to the competition. I've had the August View since its original launch last Spring. To say the initial release of the View was a mess is selling its initial problems short. But the team at August did the unthinkable; they pulled the product from the market and issued refunds to unhappy customers. It was the sign of things to come and showed how far August was willing to go to please its customer base. The relaunched August View wireless video doorbell is a thing of beauty. On the outside, you won't see much of a difference between it and other video doorbells on the market. It's got an ultra-wide-angle camera up top, a speaker, a doorbell button, and some nifty lights for various purposes. The difference is in its fully wireless nature and the simplicity of the ecosystem. The August View Video Doorbell is super easy to install. It doesn't even require a screwdri
