Oneplus has been pretty open about the details for the Oneplus 6 lately. Most recently, the name and the notch were confirmed. Now the company has unceremoniously leaked the entire hardware of the device. The Snapdragon 845 from Qualcomm is to be used as the SoC, which is supported by 8GB of RAM. This means that multitasking should definitely not be possible Problem be more. The memory is also quite large at 256GB. As in the current smartphones, the camera should be a dual camera. Information about the resolutions is not yet known.
Galaxy S9 mini could come
Since the Samsung Galaxy S5 mini there has not been a mini device in the S series. This could change now. In a benchmark, a Samsung smartphone with the designation SM - G8750 was spotted, which could well be a Galaxy S9 mini. According to the benchmark, this device should accommodate the Snapdragon 660 with 4GB of RAM. Android 8.0 was used as the operating system. There was no precise information about the display in the details of the benchmark. In general, it is still unclear whether we will ever see such a device. There have been similar rumors based on such benchmarks in recent years, but none have come true.
Rampage in the headquarters of Youtube

The police were alerted immediately and the campus evacuated. A total of three people were injured by gunshots, and a fourth person was injured when leaving the campus. 39 - year - old Nasim Aghdam has been identified as the perpetrator.

World Backup Day
Many, including me, didn't even know. March 31st was World Backup Day. To mark the occasion, I have summarized how I secure my data in my associated article. This included options for backing up files, photos, passwords, notes and to-do lists and fitness data.
Top 5 April fools online
April 1st, as most will have noticed, the web was full of April Fools jokes. Editor-in-chief David Wurm showed his top 5 in an article. Including “Where is Walter?” From Google and Pei - Coin from Oneplus. A personal recommendation from me: The YouTube video from the American Youtuber MKBHD, in which he pretends to be a SONOS One as a Bixby speaker. There is also a small reminder of the Note 7 in the video.

YouTube with serverprotrouble
This week there was on YouTube Protrouble. serverprobleme to be precise. As a user, you had to struggle with long loading times during this time, you could not call up channels at all, the comment fields and the YouTube app hardly worked. That was after almost two hours Proproblem fixed again.
New Proprocessors from Intel
This week Intel presented their Coffee – Lake – H series. This includes the i5 8300H, which has four cores, the i7 8850H, which has six cores and is enabled for overclocking, the i9 8950H, also a hexacore with 45W and a clock frequency of 4,6Ghz and two new Intel XEON Processors. All SoCs just mentioned are manufactured using the 14nm process and support "Thermal Velocity Boost", which allows a single-core clock frequency of up to 4,8Ghz. All these Proprocessors also support USB 3.1. In addition to that, they should also bring a big performance boost. With the Core i9, for example, it is possible to ProProject to render 60% faster in Premiere than was the case with the previous generation Core i7. Gaming should therefore not Prorepresent problem. New desktop chips were also presented, which were also manufactured using the 14nm process and also support USB 3.1.

Facebook data scandal explained in more detail
Last week we reported on the Cambridge Analytica Facebook data leak. At the time of our last reports, it was clear that 50 million user data had been tapped. But now there are significantly more, 87 million to be precise. This is due to a third-party polling app that you have to connect to Facebook. This could then intercept its own data and that of friends on Facebook. Editor-in-chief David Wurm explained everything on the subject in detail in his article and answered all the important questions.
Macs without Intel in the future Processors
With the iPad Pro turned out to be Apple's own Processors can also be quite powerful. Now there are rumors that the ARM Proprocessors will find their way into Macs. This can bring some benefits. On the one hand, you become independent of Intel. This in turn could result in an increase in performance, since you can make your own adjustments internally and without consulting Intel. In addition, the change could allow Apple devices to work together more seamlessly, which in turn could result in greater isolation from other systems. For example, it may then no longer be possible to use Windows via a virtual machine. On the other hand, the battery life could be improved by a foreclosure. At this point, however, it must be noted that the changeover is still in the early stages of development and could possibly last until 2020. In addition, it is currently still open whether the new Macs will then be PCs with Intel Processors will hit.

Spotify has confirmed the first. one of these Proproducts could now be presented at the upcoming Spotiy Event in New York. According to the company itself, there should be “a big innovation”. It remains to be seen which Proproducts are finally really presented.
