  • Google’s Password Manager gets an exciting update

    Google’s Password Manager is poised to receive a significant upgrade with a dash of Material You flair, building on the unique features introduced earlier in the year.

    The tech giant, Google, is hard at work revamping its Password Manager, a component of Google Play Services. This revamp will include the incorporation of a navigation bar, akin to the one found in all Google’s apps, aimed at enhancing user navigation within the manager.

    Password Manager to get a new navigation bar

    The forthcoming addition of a navigation bar for Google’s Password Manager promises to be a nice addition. As per information shared by the reliable source Nail Sadykov on the Telegram channel Google News, this revamp will infuse Material You style into the Password Manager, providing a cohesive user experience.

    Gizchina News of the week


    The redesigned Password Manager will now sport three tabs: “Passwords” to access saved credentials and add new ones, “Verify” for comprehensive security checks on passwords, and “Settings” housing all manager configurations. This redesign aligns the Password Manager with the navigation style consistent across other Google apps.

    Currently, users access various features through dedicated links on the main page. However, the upcoming implementation of the navigation bar promises a more streamlined experience.

    In addition to the navigation bar, Google is also giving the search bar and “Add password” button a facelift. Aligning them with the Material You design principles. This redesign promises to not only enhance functionality. But also ensure that the Password Manager blends seamlessly into the Material You ecosystem.

    So, with these exciting updates on the horizon, Password Manager is set to become more intuitive and user-friendly. Offering a cohesive and visually appealing experience for users. Stay tuned for these enhancements, and make your password management a breeze with Google!

  • All Nine Titans and Their Powers in Attack on Titan

    True to its name, the most fascinating thing about the Attack on Titan manga and anime series is the Titans. Till today, I remember vividly when I started watching AOT back when it first aired in 2013, the concept of Titans and Titan Shifters hooked me. From then on, the anime began to expand on the concept of Titans, introducing bigger and more powerful monsters.

    Over the course of four seasons, we also learned that there are a total of nine titans, and each has its own special powers. Since the Attack on Titan finale is finally here, we have listed the nine Titans and their powers in this guide. Keep reading to learn about every Titan in the AOT manga and anime series.

    Spoiler Warning: This guide includes spoilers for Attack on Titan (aka Shingeki no Kyojin) manga and anime series. Proceed at your own risk.

    What & Who are the Nine Titans in AOT?

    All Nine Titans and Their Powers in Attack on Titan

    It all started when Ymir Fritz combined with the source of all living matter to become the first Titan, aka the Founding Titan. Right after her death, the Titan powers were passed down to her three daughters in a gruesome way. From then on, passing down these powers to further generations led to the birth of eight Titans.

    So there is a total of nine Titans and various characters have inherited the powers throughout history. The names of the nine titans are:

    • The Founding Titan
    • The Attack Titan
    • The Armored Titan
    • The Beast Titan
    • The Colossal Titan
    • The Female Titan
    • The Jaw Titan
    • The Cart Titan
    • The War Hammer Titan

    That said, let’s take a look at all the nine titans in the AOT universe:

    1. Founding Titan

    the inheritors of Founding Titan
    • Japanese Name: 始祖の巨人 (Shiso no Kyojin)
    • Previous Inheritors: Ymir Fritz, Karl Fritz, Father of Uri Reiss, Uri Reiss, Frieda Reiss, Grisha Jaeger
    • Current Inheritor: Eren Jaeger
    • Height: Varies depending on inheritor
    • Special Powers: Control and creation of Titans, Ability to control and communicate subjects of Ymir

    The first and foremost titan to be born is the Founding Titan. It can be also considered the mother of all the other Titans as they are derived from this titan’s powers. It all started with Ymir and further, this Founding Titan power was passed down in the royal family in this order: Karl Fritz, Father of Uri Reiss, Uri Reiss, Frieda Reiss, and finally Grisha Jaeger broke that cycle by stealing this power. Finally, it was received by our protagonist Eren Jaeger from his father Grisha.

    One could conclude that this is easily the best titan among the nine titans as it includes many powers at its disposal. The ability to create titans and manipulate them at will can bring you an army of titans. Then comes the ability to alter the anatomical characteristics, and memories of the subjects of Ymir. The inheritors of this power can also telepathically communicate with the subjects as Eren did recently during the rumbling. However, it all comes with one rule, the inheritor should have royal blood. But one who doesn’t possess royal blood can also utilize those powers with the help or contact with royal blood. We can talk about founding titan’s powers all day but I’ve stated all the major powers above.

    2. Attack Titan

    the inheritors of Attack Titan
    • Japanese Name: 進撃の巨人 (Shingeki no Kyojin)
    • Previous Inheritors: Eren Kruger, Grisha Jaeger
    • Current Inheritor: Eren Jaeger
    • Height: 15 meters
    • Special Powers: Future memory inheritance

    The Attack Titan is the third titan we saw after the Colossal and Armored Titan’s debut. The first known transformation to this titan was achieved by Eren Jaeger. From then on, we learned the different past inheritors of the Attack Titan. The first one is Eren Kruger, an Eldian spy and he passed it on to the father of Eren, Grisha Jaeger. As we are aware, the current inheritor is Eren and the Founding Titan and War Hammer Titan were fused with this one.

    On paper, the Attack Titan may look like a weak titan. But I can assure you that it’s not the case as it’s one of the best all-rounder titans. Its shape is perfectly suited for battle and we have seen the combat abilities of this titan. Even Isayama has mentioned that this design was inspired by a Japanese martial artist, Yushin Okami. The next big thing about this titan is the future memory inheritance technique. It is an ability where the current inheritor can foresee the memories of the future inheritors which plays a key role in defining history. It is exactly not time travel but as Zeke stated it is more of “the power to transcend time”. That said, Attack Titan will always be the fan-favorite titan for decades to come.

    3. Armored Titan

    the inheritors of Armored Titan
    • Japanese Name: 鎧の巨人 (Yoroi no Kyojin)
    • Previous Inheritors: Unknown
    • Current Inheritor: Reiner Braun
    • Height: 15 meters
    • Special Powers: Defensive armored skin, Hardening

    The Armored Titan is the second Titan we were introduced to right after the Colossal Titan. It became an instant fan favorite as Reiner was one. We don’t know anything about the past inheritors of this titan and the one and only inheritor we know is Reiner Braun. As the title implies, the armored titan has an inbuilt hardened armor-like skin which acts as the ultimate defense as well as offense of this titan.

    The armored skin comes with great advantages and disadvantages as well. First, it provides you with an almost impenetrable defense but the heavy armored plates slow down the titan’s mobility. Nevertheless, the ability to harden comes in handy during combat and greatly helps in offense and defense. Overall, the armored titan is a great titan that can withstand anything.

    4. Beast Titan

    the inheritors of Beast Titan
    • Japanese Name: 獣の巨人 (Kemono no Kyojin)
    • Previous Inheritor: Tom Xaver
    • Current Inheritor: Zeke Jaeger
    • Height: 17 meters
    • Special Powers: Strong throws, Titan Shifting, Ability to speak

    The Beast Titan’s first appearance is an unforgettable moment! The ape-like appearance of this titan stands so distinct from all the other titans. It is also one of the tallest titans with a height of 17m. The previous inheritor of this beast titan was revealed as Tom Xaver who mentored Zeke. Then Zeke Jaeger claimed the power from him and remained as the next and only inheritor we know currently.

    The beast titan comes with monstrous powers that make it one of the most powerful titans in AOTverse. It can do powerful throws at anything with incredible accuracy. These throws can wipe out a group easily as the power behind them is immense. The inheritor also can harden specific positions at their will. But the important power of this titan is the ability to transform the subjects of Ymir into titans and also control the pure titans to his will with commands. However, this ability requires the user to have royal blood, and since Zeke was one, he was able to execute them flawlessly.

    5. Colossal Titan

    the inheritors of Colossal Titan
    • Japanese Name: 超大型巨人 (Chō ōgata Kyojin)
    • Previous Inheritor: Bertholdt Hoover
    • Current Inheritor: Armin Arlelt
    • Height: 60 meters
    • Special Powers: Gigantic size, Colossal strength, Steam emission, Explosive transformation

    The first titan we ever saw at the beginning of the show was Colossal Titan. One can never forget the chills that this titan gave us when it appeared over Wall Maria. We have seen only two inheritors of this power namely Bertholdt and Annie who got it later by consuming the former. It is considered to be the tallest titan which arches about 60 meters in height. Its gigantic height and size are some of the best features of this titan and also give birth to its numerous other powers.

    The first is the colossal strength that is capable of destroying anything and overpowering anyone. Then the only titan capable of utilizing its transformation to its advantage is the Colossal Titan. During its transformation, it unleashes an energy that is equal to that of a bomb. Additionally, this titan can control the steam it lets out and can use it to its advantage to protect its nape. The steam produced is capable of burning any human in its vicinity so it’s a great ability. However, if one uses these powers for long, it can deplete their stamina and titan usage easily. The size of this titan also affects its mobility as the titan is seen relatively slower than other titans.

    6. Female Titan

    the inheritors of Female Titan
    • Japanese Name: 女型の巨人 (Megata no Kyojin)
    • Previous Inheritors: Unknown
    • Current Inheritor: Annie Leonhart
    • Height: 14 meters
    • Special Powers: Adaptation, Versatility, Titan attraction, Hardening

    The Female Titan is one of the most unique Titans among the other Titans without a doubt. When it first appeared, I still remember Annie stealing the show with this new titan form. As the name suggests, this titan retains the appearance of a female and only one inheritor is known which is Annie Leonhart. It is currently unknown what will happen if a male gets the power of a female titan as the fandom has discussed it for a long time.

    The best power of this titan is its ability to harden and attract titan. Hardening specific areas of the flesh especially its nape greatly improves the overall defense. Attracting fellow abnormal titans is not likely a big plus power as those titans likely rush to eat the body of the female titan. But one could use this technique in crucial moments to their advantage and use it as a distraction to escape. Furthermore, the outstanding features of this titan include its amazing technique of adaptability and versatility to different situations and it possesses unreal speed to traverse along with amazing endurance like cart titan.

    7. Jaw Titan

    the inheritors of Jaw Titan
    • Japanese Name: 顎の巨人 (Agito no Kyojin)
    • Previous Inheritors: Marcel Galliard, Ymir, Porco Galliard
    • Current Inheritor: Falco Grice
    • Height: 5 meters
    • Special Powers: Gigantic & powerful jaw, Coarsened claws, ultra speed

    We have seen up to 4 different versions of Jaw Titan throughout the show. The first inheritor we saw was Ymir in the scout regiment but it was later mentioned that she got the power from Marcel Galliard. Then when Ymir returned to Marley, she allowed Porco Galliard (brother of Marcel) to consume her and get the Jaw Titan’s powers. And very recently, it was Falco who became the inheritor of this power after Porco transferred it to him during the war for Paradis arc. As you can see above, depending on the inheritor, the design of the titan varied drastically.

    Now coming to how powerful this mini titan is, it’s easily one of the best as well. Why you ask? Its smaller size elevates its agility to the peak level and can traverse swiftly thereby also making up for its poor defense. The special powers of this titan are its (as the name suggests) remarkable jaws and hardened claws. It’s perfect to tear through anything and cause a rampage so easily. As a result, Jaw Titan will always be a special one!

    8. Cart Titan 

    the inheritor of Cart Titan
    • Japanese Name: 車力の巨人 (Shariki no Kyojin)
    • Previous Inheritors: Unknown
    • Current Inheritor: Pieck Finger
    • Height: 4 meters
    • Special Powers: Ability to speak, Incredible speed and resilience, four-footed structure

    As the name implies, the cart titan is equipped with a four-footed (Quadrupedal) form like an animal’s. As a result, it can move freely, and that too at a phenomenal pace. The only inheritor we know of this titan is Pieck. She instantly became one of the most famous female characters in the history of AOT after her debut. An incredible ability of the cart titan is that it enables the inheritor to speak while in the titan form which is seen only with a few titans.

    Next to its unbelievable speed, it also has a tough withstanding body to run through its transporting, spying, and many more duties. Its resilience is top-notch for it to work tirelessly and is one of the most highlighted powers and abilities of this titan.

    9. War Hammer Titan

    the inheritors of War Hammer Titan
    • Japanese Name: 戦鎚の巨人 (Sentsui no Kyojin)
    • Previous Inheritor: Lara Tybur
    • Current Inheritor: Eren Jaeger
    • Height: 15 meters
    • Special Powers: Hardening, Ability to reposition

    If you have been an AOT fan for a long time, you would exactly know how hyped everyone was to see the War Hammer Titan. In my opinion, it has the coolest design out of all the other titans. War Hammer Titan was passed down only between the Tybur family for generations and the only previous inheritor we know is Lara Tybur. And the current inheritor is Eren and we all know how he snatched that power from her in a gnarly way. War Hammer Titan is one of the best titans with a distinct set of powers. Although Eren made it look like it’s a weak titan, it clearly is not.

    As you are aware, some of these titans can harden, but War Hammer takes it to the next level with the concept of structural hardening. It means using the hardening titan flesh, the inheritor can generate weapons, create attacks, and do many more things with it. But that comes with a disadvantage if the user overuses that power it makes them weakened as they will run out of stamina easily. The next power is such a cool feature! It is the ability to reposition its control center from the titan’s nape to anywhere the inheritor wants to. For example, Lara remained in a hardened crystal and it was connected to the main titan via cable-like flesh. After Eren took the War Hammer’s powers it was combined with the Attack and Founding Titan.

    And that’s everything you need to about the Nine Titans of the Attack on Titan. These are the great powers that redefined the history of this universe. These titans played a vital role in making what AOT is AOT and elevated its stature to greater heights. That said, let us know which is your favorite titan in the series in the comments below.

  • OnePlus Exec Shares Camera Samples of OnePlus 12

    If you look at the past flagships from OnePlus, you can’t deny that they come with robust camera configurations. But even with better hardware, OnePlus has always struggled with camera performance. After all, in the smartphone photography world, it’s more about optimization and computation tricks rather than hardware. Well, that changed with the OnePlus Open. And the OnePlus 12 will take it to the next step.

    Just two days ago, OnePlus confirmed that the upcoming flagship will feature Sony’s new Lytia dual-layer sensor. It will equip the OnePlus 12 with a better camera configuration than the OnePlus Open. And as the camera samples from Li Jie Louis showcase, the phone is also about to come with better optimizations.

    A Closer Look at the Camera Samples of OnePlus 12

    As the name suggests (dual-layer), the brand-new sensor of the OnePlus 12 comes with a stacked design. This design improves the sensor’s ability to gather light. As a result, with optimized algorithms, it’s possible to take some amazing shots. And it seems that OnePlus has nailed it in that regard.

    Gizchina News of the week


    The teaser photos posted by Li Jie Louis, the president of OnePlus in China, showcase the OnePlus 12’s capability to handle tricky lighting conditions. As you can see from the images attached below, the captures show stunning detail. Even the region under the shadow has proper exposure.

    In addition to these images, Li Jie Louis compared the camera performance of the OnePlus 12 with the Xiaomi 14 Pro. He shared three sets of pictures, which were taken by both phones. He didn’t mention which set is from which device, though.

    Both phones showcase their great camera performance in the photos attached above. But by taking a closer look, you’ll notice that the left image from each set is slightly better than the other. Considering the fact that these photos come from Li Jie Louis, it’s likely that the better photos are from the OnePlus 12.

  • Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra Might Finally Get a Titanium Frame

    Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

    The Galaxy S24 series is one of the most anticipated upcoming lineups by the company. As such, the rumor mill is always churning about it. One such point of contention has been placed regarding the body and frame of the phones. After a lot of rumors surfacing that placed the S24 Series as having a Titanium frame, a new rumor has popped up that hints that only the S24 Ultra might get it first. Let’s talk about it.

    S24 Ultra Might Have the First Titanium Frame by Samsung

    The rumor comes via The Elec with its confidential sources. According to the rumor, the S24 Ultra is supposedly confirmed to be the first Samsung phone to be getting a titanium frame. The Elec further claims that the company might ‘expand the application depending on reception.’

    However, according to the report, a titanium frame in the Samsung S24 Ultra would most likely not affect the overall weight compared to the S23 Ultra series.

    Nonetheless, a titanium build would provide many benefits to the build quality of the phone. While the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s Titanium build has become a controversial topic, the material itself can be used to level up aspects of the device’s build quality. Do keep in mind that the 15 Pro Max, too, uses a blend of Titanium and not 100% Titanium.

    Nothing is confirmed officially as of yet. Plus, the leaks of Samsung’s upcoming flagship getting a ‘Titanium’ build have been quite dicey. So, it’s important to manage our expectations. It is true that Apple’s best phone right now does have Titanium in it. So, Samsung might be heavily considering doing the same so that their flagship S24 Ultra stands just as tall as the iPhone 15 Pro Max. There are many challenges to manufacturing a smartphone body with this material, especially higher costs. We will know more soon when Samsung officially talks about its future lineup.

    What are your thoughts on the S24 Ultra possibly getting a Titanium build? Would you want this material on your smartphone? Let us know in the comments below.

  • Microsoft Surface PCs to Get 6 Years of Firmware Updates

But now, the company seems to have revamped its policy and extended the support that it will offer to its Surface customers.

    With the new change, Microsoft Surface PCs will get a total of six years of firmware and driver updates. This is excellent news and means that Microsoft has gone above and beyond its original commitment to support these devices.

  • The Latest on YouTube Ad Blocker Crackdown: Users Seek Out Better Solutions

    If you’ve been following our latest updates on YouTube’s efforts to block the ad blockers, you might already know that the platform has become pretty serious about it. This ad blocker crackdown started as a small experiment, but it soon got adopted on a global scale.

    At this stage, you can’t watch content on YouTube if you’re using some of the popular ad-blocking solutions available. In other words, YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown has seen some success. According to reports from various developers offering ad blockers, most solutions saw a decline in user count.

    But the opposite has also happened. A lot of the users who were using regular ad blockers to watch YouTube videos have turned to better ad blockers.

    The Aftermath of YouTube Ad Blocker Crackdown

    As mentioned earlier, hundreds of thousands of users uninstalled ad blockers from their devices last month. And the main reason behind this is YouTube’s broadened crackdown efforts. At the same time, data shows a record-breaking installation count for alternatives that the streaming platform hasn’t put on its list yet.

    Among the popular options, there’s the Krzysztof Modras of Ghostery. It’s available in the Chrome extension store, and it has seen 3 to 5 times the amount of installs and uninstalls over October. Over 90% of the users who have uninstalled the ad blocker cited that it’s due to the extension failing to block YouTube ads.

    YouTube Shorts

    But the same extension says a 30% increase in installations on Microsoft Edge. This hints that the users were looking for alternative browsers to continue having a free, ad-free experience on YouTube.

    Another ad blocker named AdGuard said they see around 6000 uninstallations daily on Chrome. But the uninstallation count went up to 1100 per day between the second week of October and the end of the month. AdGuard said that the uninstallation count peaked at 52 thousand on October 18. It’s the time when YouTube started to put in place its ad-blocking efforts at full fledge.

    Interestingly, the premium version of the ad-blocking software is immune to YouTube’s efforts. AdGuard reports that the users realized it, and the company saw an increase in user count in the premium version. To be exact, the paid version reached 60 thousand installations between October 18 and October 27.

    Gizchina News of the week


    What About the Other Options?

    At the moment, it seems that the ad blocker crackdown efforts have made users scramble to find better alternatives. Some users are even turning to solutions like Newpipe. It’s a YouTube-like platform that offers videos without any ads. And this isn’t something that wasn’t expected.

    Experts within the industry have already warned YouTube on its efforts to stop ad blockers. For example, Modras said that this effort could result in more complex blocking tactics. And these complex tactics could lead to the creation of unintentional security loopholes.

    Stop YouTube Videos from Buffering

    But if you’re looking for alternatives, Origin on Firefox still works on YouTube. Adblock Plus has also come up with a solution that can get past the anti-ad block wall of the platform.

    YouTube Premium

    If you don’t want to use ad block, it’s better to get a YouTube Premium subscription. It doesn’t only offer an ad-free experience. Also, you get offline download support, a better streaming experience, and lots of convenient features. More importantly, with the subscription, you’re helping the platform and the creators to make your experience better.

    Personally speaking, YouTube can make it easier for users to get a subscription by lowering the price a little. But judging by the past announcements that the platform has made, that’s unlikely to happen. We will get you updated when there’s more report on this matter.

  • WhatsApp Will Soon Let You Login Through Email

    whatsapp email recovery feature in beta update added

    Another day, another WhatsApp beta update. The highly popular messaging app keeps receiving new features through its periodic updates and the focus this time is on better verification methods. The latest WhatsApp beta for iOS is adding support for account login through email. Check out how it works and how it looks below.

    Email Login for WhatsApp Is Coming!

    The new WhatsApp Beta update for iOS (23.23.1.77) was pushed recently through the TestFlight beta program, as spotted by @WABetaInfo. Following up on a similar version for Android (2.23.24.10), the new beta update finally adds the ability to link an e-mail account to your WhatsApp. This standard feature on many apps was missing on WhatsApp but is finally making its grand entry in both Android and iOS.

    As can be seen from the images, the email address page is fairly simple, with an option to add your address easily. Once done, you will need to verify your email post, which you should be able to access your account and recover it. However, it is worth noting that this is not replacing phone numbers, as you will still need them to access your account.

    Users can choose not to use this feature as well if preferred. But I would say it would be useful to add your e-mail to WhatsApp so you have more options for receiving a 6-digit verification code when required.

    What are your thoughts on the upcoming WhatsApp email recovery feature? Let us know in the comments below.

  • Mortal Kombat 1 director Ed Boon asks community what quality of life updates the game needs most











    Mortal Kombat 1 has already proven to be both fun and an innovative take on the 30 year old franchise, fans have also expressed plenty of disdain for the game’s rougher edges, often citing the experience as “unfinished” on social media.






    Some of the fairly severe gameplay bugs have already been attended to, but the game’s online experience still feels widely unpolished in ways that feel unacceptable when it comes to a AAA fighting game franchise like Mortal Kombat here in 2023. It’s online that Boon and his team seem to be setting their initial sights as he pitches a 4-answer poll asking which feature should get expedited attention.









    Many expected the $70 base game to include routine perks such as crossplay between platforms. The lack thereof was somewhat surprising, but also somewhat dwarfed in gravity by the fact that online connections that were available often felt janky and unplayable.


    This comes on the heels of 2019’s Mortal Kombat 11, which was lauded for high marks in this very category and thus makes it all the more baffling that MK1 wouldn’t matter of fact include filters for wi-fi and high ping users.


    Though it surely isn’t an exhaustive list of the problems plaguing Mortal Kombat 1 at the moment, Boon asked his X followers which of the four they’d most like to see rectified first:



    While we don’t have any dates for fixes in sight yet, this is a good move by Boon in that it lets the fan base know developers have at least heard their cries for correction and intend to make some changes.


    We’d love to hear which of these online features you feel MK1 would benefit most from having fixed first, and whether or not there are others that are even higher priority. Chime into the comments with your thoughts on the matter, and be sure to vote in Boon’s poll to help the process along.
