Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist, invented the World Wide Web (WWW) while working at CERN (in 1989)
the current principales like “Respect and protect people’s privacy and personal data to build online trust” are listed at contractfortheweb.org
try out the first website at CERN – and in the entire world – was dedicated to the World Wide Web was hosted on it’s NeXT computer – using line mode browser simulator
The web was always meant to be a platform for creativity, collaboration, and free invention – but that’s not what we are seeing today
Berners-Lee
He and John Bruce founded back in 2018 a privacy focused company, the main idea is that user can control their data in online storage entities called Personal Online Data Stores (Pods) – the Enterprise Solid Server was launched to provide that service to customers
“Internet, a new human right” on one hand the EU discuss at a round table with Berners-Lee about the principles of internet @EU-Press – on the other hand initate a law about the “challenges” and “balance” about encryption (similar to the five eyes)
The progression of the Web sofar from a network of information (Web 1.0) to a network of people (Web 2.0/Social Media) followed by a network of things (Web 3.0/IoT)
google recently provided a chrome extention Ads Transparency Spotlight in an early version that visualize what cookies are used by whom
we’re providing this extension to help increase transparency in digital advertising. In the future, we also plan to add controls for users.
further interessting is the firefox plug Lightbeam that visualise the dependence of tracked cookies in the past
quite more interessting is to display what content is loaded from a reqested website, Requestmap visualise gathered data from visited sites and the third parties
scary hmpf … prevent of tracking with tracking free browser like Brave, Ghostery or DuckDuckGo
let’s have a look how to use, why it is useful, what other alternatives are around or how to implement – this was introduced recently in iOS14, appletv already provide this feature, but just in tv app
almost every modern tv got it’s own picture-in-Picture (PiP) and even youtube in browser offers a PiP option with a miniplayer
beginning from api Level 26 the PiP is available for android devices, very useful to navigate with google maps while browse for a new playlist … but:
feature support no equal between vendor and app developer (e.g. brave browser doesn’t switch to PiP from fullscreen on honor devices)
picturesize is not scaleable, there are just 2 predefined views
usability how to open differ from os level or vendor
in my opinion, the best way to view video while doing something beside is splitscreen view with 2 different apps/browsers, although is depends on vendor/app > long press recent apps button on huawei respectively swipe up at samsung with long press relevant app icon to show option, or use app pair from samsungs side panel
with apple’s new mobile os 2020 this feature is finally also available, even your able to make video window larger or pinch to zoom and you got the option to keep audio playing while docking video side and with the benefit of the same behaviour for all iOS devices
your inclusive data volume is up… throttling to 64 kbit/s.
the consuption of data doubles every year, the mobile abo’s evolved as well but there is a gap between the required data volume for services and the availbale mobile capacity, below approximately amount for different services
teams e.g. need for a group websession 1 Mbps, when turn off incoming video it could reduced further for about 75%, tested by myself, round about 1GB per workday
read below some further tipps in different catagories to optimze mobile data consuption
windows
right at your windows10 device, your can select your phone hotspot as a metered connection, cellular data connections are set as metered by default
below you can additionally view data usage per app and set a data limit
chrome android
at your android enable for chrome browser the lite mode in settings > advanced > turn on lite mode
data usage of apps and set a capacity limit could be reviewed in settings > mobile network > data warning (depending on android vendor)
file download, disable in your mail client or chat app the automatic download of media and attachments
other browser e.g. Brave to use integrated add blocker and enable data compression
battery saver, when enabled disallow app launch in background and disable push notifications
iOS
with iOS13 there is a new feature called low data mode, enabel in settings > mobile data
also possible to review the volume per app in mobile data and disable unreqired
spotify
reduce consuption for your favourite playlist, choose
tab start
tab settings
tab data saver
enable it

in Q3 2019 the wearable band shipments grew 65% and propably below some christmas trees
beginning 2020, one-in-five americans use a smart watch or fitness tracker, according to a Pew Research
apple released in 2019 it’s watch series 5 with built-in compass and Emergency SOS application on cellular models
google smartwatches, running wear os, without an update since rename in 2018 – need oem vender to push the mobile os – xiaomi succeed with low prices to the global leader with 27% share – huawei reached annual growth largest wearable growth of 243% – fitbit recently sold to google
what’s embarrassing with wear os is the switch to a new android device, there is no guide to reconnect, you had to erase the watch and reconfigure – some apps on your mobile device offer the option to install as extention onto the watch, but all other needs to be installed manually one by one
but the is a clever guide to use the developer option to reconnect to a new device, without the need of resetting
simply enable usb debugging, disable blueooth, connect your wearable to android studio/adb tos, execute to following
even for enterprise mobility there is some interesing festure, with iOS13.1 it’s possible to silently update an App, it will close, update and continue in kiosk/single app-mode.
