What's new on Netflix Australia for December 2020

As the number of shows and movies available to stream in Australia continues to grow at an impressive rate, it can be tough to keep up with all the new additions to each streaming service each month.

We've all come to anticipate a new stable of Netflix Originals releases each month, but figuring out which shows they are and when exactly they become available isn't so easy. And what about the large number licensed shows and films that are made available to stream, if only for a limited time?

Two of Xiaomi's recent most popular smartphones likely to launch in India soon

Xiaomi launched the Redmi Note series back in March in India and later in November they unveiled Redmi Note 9 5G series and a new Redmi Note 9 4G device which was exclusive to China. Among the three devices from the recently launched series, two of the Redmi Note 9 series devices might be rebranded for the India market and one might go global with rebranding. 

According to a report from MySmartPrice, the Redmi Note 9 4G might launch in India as the Redmi Note 9 Power and the Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G might launch as Mi 10i in India. These devices have been spotted on the Google Play Console as well. 

• The new Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G boasts of a 108MP camera and a 120Hz display

As per the Google Play Console listing, the Xiaomi Mi 10i and Redmi 9 Power moniker are confirmed and their model number matches with the recently launched Redmi Note 9 series. The listing confirms that the Mi 10i will sport an octa-core Snapdragon 750G, 6GB of RAM, and a Full HD+ screen resolution. The Redmi Note 9 Power, on the other hand, is said to feature Snapdragon 662 SoC, Full HD+ screen, and 4GB of RAM. Both devices run on Android 10 OS. 

The vanilla Redmi Note 9 5G was spotted on NBTC certification and could be a rebranded Redmi Note 9T 5G for the global market. Since the devices are launched in the Chinese market, we expect the devices to come out with the same set of specs when launched in India as well.

Mi 10i specs and price

The Mi 10i will be powered by new Snapdragon 750G chipset with 5G support. It flaunts a 6.67-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate. There is also AdaptiveSync technology that allows the display to scale between six different refresh rate levels to achieve better efficiency.

It is also the cheapest phone with a 108MP camera with all-new Samsung ISOCELL HM2 image sensor. It is followed by a 13MP ultra-wide camera, a 2MP macro lens and a 2MP depth sensor. On the front is a 16MP selfie shooter. The battery is rated at 4,820mAh with support for 33W fast charging. Other features include IP53 water-resistance, 360-degree ambient light sensing, a 3.5mm headphone jack and a free antimicrobial case and screen protector.

The Redmi Note 9 Pro 5G starts at CNY 1,599 (~Rs 18,000) for the base variant with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, CNY 1,799 for the 8GB + 128GB variant and CNY 1,999 for the top 8GB + 256GB model.

The cheapest Core i7 PC right now has two Gigabit ports and can drive two 4K monitors

What is it? This is the Chuwi CoreBox X, a very small workstation PC that can also be used as a business PC or a thin client (and anything in between).

What makes it special? It's cheap for what it offers and surprisingly small as well.

How much does it cost? It's available at Banggood for $330 (roughly £245/AU$450) until the end of the year when you use code BGDec02 at checkout. That's an extra $90 off the current sale price of $420. Overall, you net a staggering 43% discount on the suggested retail price of $581. Mind-blowing.

Have you reviewed it? Not yet, but we're currently working on a review of its sibling.

Chuwi CoreBox X Core i7 PC: $580.99 $329.99 at Banggood
Save $251 by using the exclusive code BGDec02 at checkout (offer expires on December 31). This is a powerful Intel Core i7 PC with 8GB RAM, a 256GB SSD and two Gigabit Ethernet ports. It's great as a business computer, graphics workstation or multi-purpose home PC.View Deal

• We've built a list of the best workstations out there
• Here's our choice of the best business monitors available
• Check out our list of the best business Macs on the market

What else should we know? It runs on an Intel Core i7-6560U processor, which is a low power dual core CPU from 2015 that equipped high end laptops back in the day. It might be old, but it's still capable thanks to an Intel Iris Graphics 540 GPU. Benchmarks show that it is should be competitive with Intel Pentium processors from 2020.

Why buy it? It still comes with a fast 256GB PCIe SATA SSD (with an additional spare 2.5-inch storage slot) with 8GB of RAM (probably expandable to 32GB). Add in an Intel AC Wi-Fi-5 radio card, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, a DP port, an HDMI slot, four USB ports and two audio jacks and you have a pretty capable PC.

Any cons? There are no front-facing ports, no memory cards, and no VESA mount. Also, HP currently has an equally small desktop - the Slim Desktop S01 - that is cheaper, faster, has newer memory and an extra 1TB HDD. But it has slower graphics and lacks dual 4K monitor support and dual Gigabit Ethernet. Decisions, decisions.

Google Maps' newest update aims to make finding things to do easier

You might usually pull up Google Maps to find the quickest way home, or navigate your way around a new neighborhood, but the search giant is hoping to expand the way you use its app.

There’s a new feature in Google Maps – a community feed. It’s similar to the news feed on your Facebook or Instagram account, except it’s designed to let you know what’s happening in your area, with information contributed by locals. 

It includes recommendations of local spots, reviews from Google’s Local Guides, and photos of favorite dishes. When you follow your local businesses on Maps, you’ll now get updates directly from them, such as new take-away and delivery options.

You’ll find the new community feed in the ‘Explore’ tab of Google Maps, and you can tailor it to your interests. If you’ve followed a few vegetarian restaurants, or marked an interest in Italian food, then Maps will show you more of these recommendations.

(Image credit: Google)

• Google Maps finally has a dark mode
• Google Maps' new update goes gung-ho on the Covid-19 safety features
• Google Photos axes free, unlimited storage for 'high quality' snaps

You’ll be able to use the new feature for more than just your local area, though. If you’re looking for something new, you’ll be able to move around the map and find contributed information for just about anywhere in the world – at least, that is what Google has set out to do.

Much of this information was already available on Google Maps one way or another, but certain aspects became particularly helpful in recent months – businesses were able to post updates on their new opening hours, or let customers know that they were moving operations online.

But that was only available if you looked up that specific business’ profile – now, it can appear all in one place, and one that can be specifically curated to you. 

In a statement on its blog, a spokesperson for Google said that in early testing of the new feature, “we saw that posts from merchants are seen two times more than before the feed existed”.

The new feature is in the process of rolling out to all phones with iOS or Android.

Certain PS5 consoles are noisy due to differing cooling fans, report suggests

Is your PS5 noisier than you were expecting? Your console may have a cooling fan of lesser quality inside it, a new report suggests.

French tech website Les Numériques has revealed that not all PlayStation 5 units are created equal, after the outlet noticed a difference in the noise exhibited by the review unit Sony provided them and a second unit purchased through a traditional retail channel.

The site then proceeded to teardown several more PS5 consoles and discovered that the fans inside all five units were completely different from each other.

• PS5 vs PS4 Pro: should you upgrade?
• PS5 vs PS5 Digital Edition: which console should you choose?
• Best PS5 games: the PlayStation 5 games you need to play

Only fans

As evidenced by the picture below, the fan said to be from the noisier retail model has 17 blades on it, while the press unit's fan reportedly possesses 23 slightly thinner blades.

(Image credit: Les Numériques)

While the exact airflow provided by each fan is difficult to quantify, it's generally assumed that fans with fewer blades have to work harder and spin faster to push air through, leading to a noisier fan overall.

As pointed out by our sister site Tom's Hardware, the discovery brings into question the usefulness of many existing PS5 teardown cooling tests, as they may no longer accurately reflect what users can expect from consoles purchased at retail.

That said, so long as your PS5's fan is effectively cooling the console it's attached to, it's doubtful that Sony will issue a replacement.

If you'd like to see which fan is inside your PS5, you can view this easy enough without voiding your console's warranty by popping off the white side panels.

This top SMS tool is still exposing user info online

The popular SMS messaging app for Android GO SMS Pro is still exposing the privately shared photos, videos and files of millions of users despite the fact that Trustwave researchers recently disclosed that the app has a major security flaw.

The cybersecurity firm discovered back in August that media files sent via GO SMS Pro are stored insecurely on a publicly accessible server that can be accessed using some very minor scripting. Although it isn't possible to link the media files to specific users, those files that include faces, names or other identifying characteristics put the privacy of users at risk online.

A new version of GO SMS Pro was uploaded to the Play Store the day before Trustwave publicly disclosed that the app had a serious security flaw. Google then removed the app from its store but at the time of writing, version 7.94 of the app is available to download.

• Keep your devices virus free with the best malware removal software
• Also check out our roundup of the best ransomware protection

According to Trustwave, it appears that the app's developer GOMO is trying to fix the issue but a complete fix is still not available. In version 7.93 of GO SMS Pro the ability to send media files has been completely disabled while version 7.94 allows users to upload media to the app but these files don't appear to go anywhere when sent to another user.

Still vulnerable

Despite GOMO's attempts to fix its app, Trustwave has confirmed that older media used to verify the original vulnerability is still available online. The exposed media files contain quite a bit of sensitive data including driver's licenses, health insurance account numbers, legal documents and pictures of a more 'romantic' nature.

Cybercriminals are well aware of the flaw in GO SMS Pro and Trustwave has discovered numerous tools and scripts designed to exploit the vulnerability on sites such as Pastebin and GitHub. Several of these more popular tools are updated on a daily basis and the firm has also observed underground forums sharing images downloaded directly from the app's servers.

Unfortunately, GOMO has been less than cooperative when it comes to working with Trustwave on fixing the vulnerability. 

The developer has made some changes to GO SMS Pro but for the time being, Trustwave recommends that users “avoid sending media files that you expect to remain private or that may contain sensitive data using this popular messenger app”.

Black Friday sales continuing online.... on hacker forums

Although Black Friday and Cyber Monday may be over, Kaspersky has discovered that there are still plenty of sales to be found on the Dark Web where a driver's license can cost as little as $5 and credit card details start around $6.

To gain a better understanding of how users' personal information can be used in the wrong hands, the cybersecurity firm's researchers analyzed active offers on 10 international darknet forums and marketplaces.

Kaspersky's research found that access to personal data can start as low as 50 cents for and ID with prices depending on the depth and breadth of the data offered. 

• We've put together a list of the best password managers available
• Keep your devices virus free with the best malware removal software
• Also check out our roundup of the best ransomware protection

While the prices for credit card data, banking and e-payment service access have remained relatively unchanged in recent years, new types of data are now available for sale online. These include personal medical records that range in price from $1 to $30, PayPal accounts from $50 to $500 and even selfies with either a passport or driver's license for $40 to $60.

Personal information for sale

Personal information and other data sold on the Dark Web can be used for extortion or to execute online scams and phishing schemes. However, certain types of data, such as access to personal accounts or password databases, can also be abused for reputational harm and other types of social damage such as doxing.

Doxing occurs when a person shares private information about another person without their consent in order to embarrass, hurt or otherwise put them in danger. Although doxing is becoming increasingly common online, 37 percent of millennials think they are too boring to be the victim of cybercrime, according to a report by Kaspersky.

Security researcher at Kaspersky's GreAT, Dmitry Galov explained in a press release that personal information is very much in high demand on the Dark Web, saying:

“In the past few years many areas of our lives have become digitized – and some of them, such us our health, for instance, are especially private. As we see by the increasing number of leaks, this leads to more risks for users. However, there are positive developments too – many organizations are taking extra steps to secure their users’ data. Social media platforms have made especially significant progress in this regard as it is much harder now to steal an account of a specific user. That said, I believe our research highlights how important it is to be aware that your data is in fact in demand and can be used for malicious purposes even if you do not especially have lots of money, do not voice controversial opinions and are generally not very active online.”

To avoid having your personal information stolen online, Kaspersky recommends that users be aware of phishing emails and websites, check permission settings on the apps you use, use two-factor authentication and always consider how the content you share online might be interpreted and used by others.
