Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 review
Xiaomi was pretty much the first manufacturer to bring a smartphone with an almost borderless display onto the market. Meanwhile, the company from China is no longer alone with the rimless design. That's why the Chinese released the Mi Mix 3, a slider smartphone to stand out from the crowd. My colleague and editor-in-chief of TechnikNews David Wurm was able to test the smartphone. In his review you can read what he thinks of the device.
Fitbit Pay is coming to Austria soon
It is well known that Austria is in a rather poor position when it comes to paying with smartphones or wearables. The only two services that work reasonably well are Garmin Pay and boon from Wirecard - Google Pay, Apple Pay and Fitbit Pay are still a long time coming. The latter service could soon make it to us. I suspect that because I can already see the wallet icon in the Fitbit app, but I can't set up Fitbit Pay myself yet. In addition, Austria is not yet listed on the Fitbit Pay website.
Phone numbers in Facebook are visible to everyone
A few weeks ago I reported on password managers and two-factor authentication. In order to be able to use this on Facebook, you also have to enter a telephone number. Facebook says this is necessary for security reasons. A major disadvantage, however, is that this phone number is visible to everyone by default. Unfortunately, this can only be partially prevented in the privacy settings.
Switching from Evernote to Notion just got easier
More and more people are thinking about switching from Evernote to Notion. To make this as easy as possible, the developers of Notion have now implemented an importer. To use this, you have to log in with your Evernote account to give the all-in-one tool access. You can then select which notebooks you want to transfer. Imported notes all end up in their own Notion database. The whole process worked without any problems for me. So anyone who is considering switching could try the importer. You also get five dollars of Notion credit.

Pocket Casts 7 is here
Podcast apps are a dime a dozen. One of them is called Pocket Casts, which is available for Android, iOS and the web. Version 7 was released this week, including a complete redesign. In addition, the menus have now been restructured a little. In addition, the display layout of the subscribed podcasts can now also be adjusted.
