32. And that’s a slow day. You’re probably wondering how I keep my sanity intact with that many tabs running in a single browser. After all, wouldn’t that render each of those tabs so tiny as to be hard to read? And isn’t that the very antithesis of using tabs? After all, the purpose of tabbed browsing is to help make your web browsing experience more efficient and organized.

In my previous article: https://resources.infosecinstitute.com/what-is-behind-that-qr-code/ , I mentioned how attackers depend on human curiosity and the innate obfuscation of the QR codes to craft an attack....

What’s more, the promised camera modules that were to launch alongside the Hydrogen One will also launch alongside the new phone. RED founder Jim Jannard has blamed the failure of the original Hydrogen One on an incompetent Chinese OEM....
You get the idea. The Redmi Note series has seen itself expand into a family of sorts over the past three years or so, with a Pro and a Pro Max being added to the line (we expect a simple Max to join the club at some stage). But the “plain” Note continues to play a key role in its success, being the most affordable of the series that sticks to its core philosophy of maybe missing out on flashy features but doing the basics very well indeed....

Both phones are so much alike and have more similarities than differences, and hence we’ve clubbed the review but will call out differences when appropriate. We were impressed by the style, the design and the elements used in building the phones during our initial impressions and that stays. Both phones sport exact same looks and in some angles resemble Samsung’s S6 series. As a matter of fact, we had some friends coming and asking us if we got the S6 and in some cases it was us successfully fooling others in having them think we had the S6 – mission accomplished Samsung!...
