The new aircraft, called the Flying Gondola, optimizes flight performance through center of gravity control technology. Reliability, which allows people to move safely, is an integral part of air mobility. However, in order to widely use the Flying Gondola aircraft as a means of transportation in the airspace, its creators from Aeronext Inc (Japan) believe that achieving both "safety" and " comfort." So that every passenger can easily use the aircraft without any reason to doubt.

Latest aircraft news: Japanese developer Aeronext has introduced the "Flying Gondola" for ease of air travel.

According to developer Aeronext, the new concept of air mobility "Flying Gondola" not only provides "safety" but also "comfort" which is different from the traditional concept of air mobility, which mainly focuses only on the ease of movement of passengers.


When will the Flying Gondola replace a regular airplane?

The Flying Gondola provides a new flight experience that, according to Aeronext, allows passengers to have fun and enjoy the freedom of flight and the scenery in the sky. Development is moving forward and the next project “Next Mobility” will become the first fundamental prototype of the “Flying Gondola”, but more on that later in the review.

The aircraft's vertical take-off and landing are controlled by a center of gravity technology called "Tiltbody".

The technology that is integral to the new Flying Gondola concept is the recently announced "Tiltbody" technology (an umbrella term for Aeronext's center of gravity control technology).

The developed technology stabilizes the takeoff and landing of VTOL aircraft (the term stands for vertical takeoff and landing). During the transition from takeoff to level flight, unlike traditional aircraft where the rotor is fixed, the rotor's movable arm (called the "propeller arm") moves to achieve optimal flight performance while maintaining cabin level with the ground. Perhaps this could mean that comfort and safety are maximized.

The company is also developing the first fundamental prototype of a single-seat passenger aircraft, Next Mobility. This is a prototype that embodies a new concept of air mobility like the Flying Gondola. It features 4D GRAVITY center of gravity technology and the recently announced VTOL Tiltbody center of gravity technology. The all-new Next Mobility model is the first prototype to be a 1/3-size model of a single-seat aircraft.

Video review of the flight of the Aeronext flying vehicle: The Next Mobility prototype embodies the concept of the “Flying Gondola”.

In the future, the Japanese developer Aeronext promises to announce similar aircraft that can be used by several people.

Commentary on how the Flying Gondola drone was created, from the creators:

Natsuko Ito, global director of marketing, Aeronext Inc.:

"Aeronext is a technology startup for drone architecture founded in Japan in 2017, and we have invented a unique 4D GRAVITY® center of gravity control technology that greatly improves stability.

We have already announced several concept models for specific industrial applications using 4D GRAVITY®, such as for use in delivery and inspection.

And this time, to further demonstrate the effectiveness of 4D GRAVITY®, we have created the Flying Gondola aerial mobility concept, equipped with 4D GRAVITY® and other patented technologies that provide both safety and comfort.

We believe this is a realistic solution that will increase the social acceptability of air mobility by providing people with a new flying experience.

We used a unique "split architecture" using our patented 4D GRAVITY® technology, which separates the cabin portion from the flight portion so that the cabin remains level with the ground at all times.

The original idea of ​​4D GRAVITY® was invented by our technical director, Mr. Suzuki, and this concept model of the "Flying Gondola" was created by him and his team of engineers. "


Specifications Aeronext flying machine and the advantages declared by the developer:

A vehicle with remote-controlled automatic navigation that does not require a pilot on board;

Smooth and stable transition from takeoff to level flight;

Comfortable entry into the device because the seat is flush with the ground.

The passenger can relax and enjoy a conversation on a mobile phone;

It is easy to board the aircraft even in a skirt or high heels;

The front, left and right sides of the device are covered with glass to enjoy the view of the flight;

The aircraft is specially equipped with wings and a propeller system to prevent collisions even in emergency upon landing.

Whether you're expecting iOS 14 to release secrets or not, it's important to know. New operating room iOS system 14 from technological Apple may share the list of gadget compatibility with iOS 13. What could this mean for electronic device users? Apple devices? According to rumors from news sources, the full version of iOS 14 may support around eighteen iPhone models. Naturally, the new list of smartphone support is expected to include this year's iPhone 12 series, as well as the highly anticipated model iPhone smartphone SE 2. Plus, the iPadOS update is expected to coincide with the release of iOS 14.

News and rumors operating systems: Which Apple device models will be updated to iOS 14 and when will the update be released? Read on.

If you've been keeping track of updates from Apple's iOS team, it won't be surprising to see that with every new update, Apple comes up with an iPhone compatibility list. For example, while iOS 11 and iOS 12 were released for iPhones up to the iPhone 5S version. This particular phone was an exception to the iOS 13 compatibility list.


As you know, Apple periodically disables support for older devices in its updates. The suspected reason for the change in the compatibility list is the device's processor architecture. However, it looks like this may not be the case this year when iOS 14 releases. According to French source "iPhone Soft", the new system Apple iOS 14 (still in development) can run on all those iPhones currently supported by iOS 13. This is supposedly information from a "developer friend at Apple."

Naturally, the list may be expanded iPhone models current year (12 and SE 2). So according to rumors, if this is true, when will it be released? iOS update 14, it will be available for all models iPhone next below list:

iPhone 12 Pro Max(only by rumor);
- iPhone 12 Pro (rumored);
- iPhone 12 (rumors);
- iPhone SE 2 or known as iPhone 9 (still rumored);
- iPhone 11 Pro Max;
- iPhone 11 Pro;
- iPhone 11;
- iPhone Xs Max;
- iPhone Xs;
- iPhone X;
- iPhone XR;
- iPhone 8 Plus;
- iPhone 8;
- iPhone 7 Plus;
- iPhone 7;
- iPhone 6s Plus;
- iPhone 6s;
- And the iPhone SE model.

There's a pretty long list of Apple phone models coming out for the new OS than ever before. Additionally, if this is the case, then the update may also affect the media player iPod touch 7th generation.

However, the same cannot be said about tablet computers. The report adds that the debut is in a couple of months, again according to rumors, the iPadOS 14 system may bypass the model iPad Air 2 and iPad mini 4 (that is, support for tablets with Apple A8X and A8 chips will be discontinued). For iPadOS 14, users can only assume the following list:

9.7 inch iPad Pro;
- 10.5-inch iPad Pro;
- 11-inch iPad Pro;
- 12.9-inch iPad Pro;
- iPad Air 3rd generation;
- iPad 5th generation;
- iPad 6th generation;
- iPad 7th generation;
- And the model iPad Mini 5th generation.

The list may be replenished, according to rumors, with an upcoming version of the iPad Pro 5G tablet.

In 2019, with the release of iOS 13, the popular iPhone 5s model in Russia “found itself without support.” The smartphone has received six major updates to its mobile operating system throughout its life.

Considering that the iPhone SE, iPhone 6S Plus and iPhone 6S were the last iPhone models with headphone jacks, many Apple smartphone users preferred to hold on to their old iPhones. So if you're still using a 2015 iPhone, you can probably breathe easy. A new rumor claims that iOS 14 will be compatible with original iPhone 6S and iPhone SE.

New iOS features 14 and secrets:

What will iOS 14 be like?

Regarding functionality new system, then there is absolutely no information about what you can expect from iOS 14. IT corporation Apple, as every year, will probably present new version iOS at its annual WWDC conference(Worldwide Developers Conference is a worldwide conference for Apple developers), which will take place in the USA around June 2020. Latest version iPadOS will also debut at the event.

On this day, not only an announcement is expected about the main changes, but also about the release date of iOS 14 for download to developers (for beta testing), and the release date for download to ordinary users.

We will definitely write a review of what new things will be added to the system, what are the advantages of iOS 14 over version 13. Is it worth updating, about the end of support and possible device problems after updating.

Summary of iOS 14:

Apple has an incentive to maintain support for as many iPhones and iPads as possible for the new version of iOS 14 to increase the chance of attracting users to the latest features of subscription services such as Apple Arcade and Apple TV+.

But since this is the first time we are hearing about iOS 14 in 2020, the information should be taken with the understanding that these are rumors. After all, details from leaks and rumors are sometimes misunderstood. We will all be able to be convinced of the reality of the forecasts only after Apple itself introduces a new version of the operating system at the end of this year.

Soon, we will discuss the burning secrets of iOS 14. We expect good news for older devices.

Developer Pollen Robotics also suggests using it for research and development, as a robot receptionist, or as a useful interactive guide with artificial intelligence (AI).

What is the price for such a robot? Full version Reachy with head, body and two arms will cost around $17,000. Yes, it's an expensive robot, but a cheaper version of the robot with one arm is currently available for $9,000.

Video review of the Reachy robot:

Is it possible to customize the robot's functions to suit your tasks? According to the developer's plan, software Open Source Reachy is open source and can be freely modified or customized by the end user to suit their needs.

Comment on the creation of the Reachy robot, from the developer:

Pierre Rouanet, technical director of Pollen Robotics:

"We decided to build Reachy to allow users to run their own interactive robotic applications in the real world. Building simple service robotics applications should be easy, and Reachy was designed as a platform to speed up the development process.

We started by designing just the arm, and then, working with our clients (prosthetics researchers, a university, event planners and a design agency), we added the torso and head for emphasis and put more emphasis on human interaction.

We firmly believe that by designing a robot that looks attractive and has simple interactions, we can truly improve and make many service robotics applications more natural. "


Such miracles of robotics can be applied to different styles life. Surely we will be presented with even more curious, unusual and very useful robots in 2020. We will definitely add news and videos about technological advances in robotics.

In cases, the user can choose a suitable color for the phone case to give the mobile a little personality. But China's new Honor 20 Pro and Honor 20 series phones are the world's first smartphones with 3D dynamic holographic design, and their reflective appearance could become a new industry standard.


"Always better" is the company's motto. Perhaps this motto suggests that she refuses to follow the industry standard by simply experimenting with layers of paint with each new phone model.

Color 3D holography for the phone case.

In order for the phone body to achieve a shimmering optical illusion, the manufacturer Honor designed its Honor 20 model with a deep layer containing millions of shimmering microscopic prisms, and on top of this a so-called 3D curved glass layer is placed. The combination of these technologies causes the light to "play and dance" on the back of the phone as the user turns it in different directions.

Two colors for the Honor 20 phone can be found under these dynamic layers, Midnight Black and Sapphire Blue. Unlike the newfangled phrases for some phone colors, Honor mobile has color gradients for phones that actually evoke the effect of a shimmering night sky or a shimmering jewel.

While the color options sound exciting, you can go even further with the Chinese Honor 20 Pro phone. This upgraded model features the signature "Triple 3D Mesh" containing three layers. Instead of just painting back panel The phone itself, this time with a body-colored layer, sits between the outer 3D layer and the inner depth layer. According to the phone maker, this makes color shifting effects much more dynamic.

The Honor 20 Pro mobile phone is actively sold in two colors such as Phantom Black and Phantom Blue. Although the names of these phone colors are not so metaphorical, do not think that their rear panels are less dynamic.

Honor's obsession with choosing the right colors may seem overly dramatic, but in the UK, for example, a survey of hundreds of Brits found that forty-nine percent of them consider color when choosing a phone to buy.

Why is a phone with a changing color scheme being sold?

What is a phone for? Choosing a mobile phone, as Honor designer Jun-Soo Kim puts it, is “Extending human life.” Essentially, Honor is saying that customer identity cannot be captured in one unchanging color.

The history of the creation of Honor color phones.

The Honor 20 demonstrates the natural evolution of the company's experiments with dynamic color in phone design (irridescent colors). The Honor 8 model started the trend of a 2.5D multi-layer back wall, which creates a 3D lattice effect. Then the Honor 9 version turned into a phone with a curved 3D glass, echoes of which can already be found in the Honor 20 model. Well, last year, the Honor 10 model was equipped with an Aurora rear glass that reflected colors from all sides.

What is the screen like on an Honor phone?

Honor's design innovations don't stop at the color of the phone's body. It is worth paying attention to the location Honor cameras 20. Instead of cropping the screen to make room for the “selfie” camera. The phone maker has cut a 4.5mm hole in the top left corner of the screen, thereby leaving more screen space for the user's needs.

Camera with artificial intelligence or AI camera in your phone.

According to the description of the phone, it is worth noting that on the back of the device, the Honor 20 AI camera has four lenses and is located so as to leave more space for a battery with more memory. But most importantly, the result is a 48-megapixel camera that uses the Kirin 980 AI microchip to take DSLR-quality photos and enhance photos.

Summary of Honor phone color.

Bottom line, phone descriptions, technical compatibility and cutting-edge hardware innovations are what usually attract attention to Chinese Honor phones. But in this case, the technology is almost overshadowed by the uniquely colored body design, which may make some users reluctant to go back to simple 2D phone body colors in the future.

Open Software (open-source software) is intended for free access to source code For everyone. There are different licenses with different terms of use from GPL (GNU General Public License) and to more loyal Apache License. The first allows free distribution provided that the same license is used for subsequent products. The second does not require mandatory distribution of the finished product and open source code. Android uses both. Inside, the sequel talked about open source and open source software.

The kernel that is used in the OS is subject to GPL. This means that all changes source code should be available to the public after the official release of the software. In practice, it should look like this: manufacturers such as HTC, Samsung, Motorola, when releasing a new device, we are obliged to do open access To source code since the release of this device. For the most part, hardware manufacturers are a little delaying this.

Source for OS Android usually falls under Apache License. Anyone can download source and change it without having to make the code available to everyone. For this reason Android cannot change or improve HTC Sense or MotoBlur. Despite the fact that many users do not like this situation, it cannot be changed for commercial reasons. If manufacturers made all their secrets available, there would be no financial reason to create various innovations to stay ahead of their rivals in the competition. Thus, using a more flexible license is completely justified. The release of new devices regularly confirms this.

It is no exaggeration to say that the world of mobile devices is ruled by open source operating systems. Android is still an open source project, although, due to the set of proprietary software on Android devices, many people do not think so.
Does Android have any worthy open source competitors? To answer this question, let's look at the seven most popular open source mobile operating systems on Linux based. The OSes below are listed in random order.

Best Open Source Android Alternatives

1.Kai OS

Did you know that Kai OS is aiming to become the third largest mobile operating system in the world? Most likely no.
Well, this is not surprising. KaiOS entered the market not so long ago - in 2017 - but in less than two years it has become a platform for a huge number of mobile phones.
What's the secret? Unlike other operating systems, Kai OS is “tailored” not for smartphones, but for classic feature phones Cell Phones equipped with advanced options. The low price, combined with the functionality inherent in smart phones, makes feature phones quite popular.

A fork of the defunct Firefox OS (see below), Kai OS is also based on the Linux kernel.
You can gauge the potential of Kai OS by the fact that Google recently invested $22 million in this operating system.

2. Tizen

The open source Tizen mobile operating system is supported by the Linux Foundation, which is why it is often called the official Linux mobile OS. In addition to the Linux Foundation, Tizen is also supported by tech giants such as Samsung and Intel. The release of the first smartphone with Tizen OS, Samsung Z, took place in January 2015 (although it was originally planned for the end of 2013) on the South Asian market. Unfortunately, Samsung Z did not gain much success in the Indian market.

Despite the fact that the Tizen operating system is based on the Linux kernel, vulnerabilities have been discovered in it more than once. To be honest, it’s hard to believe in the future of this OS. It seems that sooner or later Tizen will become obsolete.

3. Plasma Mobile

In 2015, the developers of the KDE desktop created the open source mobile operating system Plasma Mobile. The application is based on the Kubuntu OS and is essentially mobile version Plasma desktop user interface. At the same time, Plasma Mobile is compatible with other operating systems.

Plasma Mobile works on Nexus 5 and OnePlus One. The mobile OS supports KDE Plasma widgets and allows you to download desktop applications on your smartphone.

4.postmarketOS

postmarketOS (abbreviated pmOS) is a pre-configured and touch-optimized operating system based on Alpine Linux with its own software packages, which can be installed on smartphones.

Android and iOS are known to stop releasing updates for models after a few years. At the same time, Linux works without problems on older computers. The goal of postmarketOS is to implement this experience on the mobile platform, providing smartphones with a 10-year life cycle.

The project is currently under development, so taking advantage of postmarketOS right now will most likely not be possible.

5. Librem

Librem is not even a mobile operating system, but a secure, encrypted mobile phone open source, which the developers of the Linux distribution PureOS plan to bring to the market in the near future.

The device will receive a touch-optimized version of PureOS, Debian, Ubuntu, SUSE, Fedora and even Arch Linux.

Librem is positioned as "a phone that's security and privacy-focused by default." The smartphone runs on free and open source software, the GNU+Linux operating system, and its mission is to “create a free development utopia as opposed to the walled gardens of other phone providers.”
We'll see if the idea succeeds.

6.LineageOS

LineageOS is an Android distribution, in other words, a custom firmware. The operating system replaced the much more successful Android distribution CyanogenMod and is its fork.

Released in December 2016, LineageOS currently supports 178 smartphone models, and the number of installations of the operating system, according to the developers, has reached 1.7 million.

7. /e/ (eelo)

/e/ (formerly eelo) is an Android distribution based on LineageOS from Mandrake Linux developer. The goal of the project is to create an open source mobile operating system not tied to Google.
It is assumed that the OS will have its own cloud and email service. The /e/ platform should appear in a stable version in the near future. The name of the project is planned to be changed again.

Sailfish OS [closed source]

When Nokia abandoned the development of the MeeGo mobile OS, some employees decided to save the project. It was assumed that MeeGo would develop the Linux Foundation community as part of the Tizen project, but the latter received independent development and ceased to be associated with MeeGo. Sailfish OS is considered a continuation of MeeGo. It is based on the Mer operating system, which became a fork of MeeGo.

The first devices based on Sailfish OS were Jolla smartphones, which received enthusiastic support from Nokia fans.
Today, this operating system is officially supported by more than ten mobile devices.
Although Sailfish OS is closed source, it can be considered as an alternative to Android, iOS and Windows.

Firefox OS [discontinued]

It is easy to guess that Firefox OS is an open source project of Mozilla, the creator of the Mozilla Firefox Internet browser. At one time, the announcement of the release of smartphones based on Firefox OS costing only $25 caused a lot of noise. The project's target audience was emerging markets like Brazil and India. Unfortunately, it turns out that a low price tag alone is not enough to replicate the success of the Raspberry Pi. As with Tizen, ZTE devices based on Firefox OS did not gain popularity and Mozilla stopped selling them at the end of 2015. However, experiments with Firefox OS continue.

Ubuntu Touch [Community Supported]

In 2013, the king of desktop operating systems Linux acquired a mobile version - Ubuntu Touch. Canonical has launched a crowdfunding campaign aiming to raise $32 million to develop the first Ubuntu smartphone, the Edge. They managed to collect only 12 million, but this amount also became a record.

After a failed crowdfunding campaign, Canonical managed to release Ubuntu Phone together with the Spanish mobile device manufacturer bq and the Chinese manufacturer Meizu.
Subsequently, several other models based on Ubuntu Touch appeared. In 2017, Canonical decided to stop developing its mobile OS, but the UBports community still keeps Ubuntu Touch afloat.

What do you think?

To be honest, we strongly doubt that any of the above mobile operating systems will be able to compete with Android. What do you think?
Do Linux-based mobile operating systems have a chance to displace Android on the pedestal? Or will they have to desperately fight for a more or less acceptable market share, like the Linux desktop OS? Share your opinion in the comments.

Browser developers have taken care of the convenience of those who create sites that open in these same browsers, namely webmasters. They added in standard features developer tools that make it easy to open and view the source code of the site page in the browser: HTML, CSS, JavaScript (JS), obtain various useful data about the structure of the site, conduct its technical analysis. In general, see a lot of useful things.

Of course, these tools are used not only by website creators for work, but also by ordinary users, for whom the source code allows them to view various useful data.

From this article you will learn how to view the source code of a website page in a browser (how to open HTML, CSS, JavaScript code site).

How to open a page's source code in a browser

There are two ways to open the source code of a web page in a browser:

  1. Using hot keys;
  2. Open from context menu.

Ctrl+U– a hotkey combination to view the source code of the entire site page in a separate new window. Standard for all browsers: Google Chrome, Opera, Mozilla Firefox, Yandex browser, IE.

You can also enter the developer tools as follows:


In order to quickly find the desired code, word or text on a page, you can use the standard search hotkey combination for all browsers: Ctrl + G.

Video instruction:

View element code | explore element | inspect element

If you suddenly need to view not the entire source code, but display only a separate part of it, some area on the page, then the previous tool will not work. For this purpose, the developer tools have another function, which will be discussed below.

How to view the code of an element on a page:


You can also use keyboard shortcuts to quick access to inspect the element.

Hotkeys (buttons):

Google Chrome: Ctrl+Shift+I and Ctrl+Shift+C

Opera: Ctrl+Shift+I and Ctrl+Shift+C

Mozilla Firefox: Ctrl+Shift+I and Ctrl+Shift+C

Yandex browser: Ctrl+Shift+I and Ctrl+Shift+C

After these steps, the source code of the web page will open in the same browser window:

All HTML code will be in the large left column. A CSS styles- on the right.

Advantage this method, of course, is that the user has the opportunity to change the source code and edit styles. That is, you can edit the styles on the site and see how it will look with certain styles, without having to immediately make changes to the files located on the hosting servers. To change or add program code, you need to double-click on the desired fragment or area. Of course, the code correction in the browser will not be made on the hosting servers. Therefore, in the future, in any case, you will have to copy this code and write it into files.

This video instruction describes in detail and shows how to work with the developer tools:

Just like that, just online, right in your browser, you can view the source code of the site page, get basic data about the HTML and CSS code, change and copy them, without having to download the files of this site to your computer.

By the way, inexperienced Internet users who have changed the page code and expect it to be saved will be disappointed. After all, after refreshing the page, all changes on it will disappear. This is not enough to hack the site :)

How to View Source Code on Android Phone

I would also like to note that the developer tools are available not only in the desktop version of browsers, that is, on computers and laptops. On phones and tablets (Android, iOS) you can also view the source code.

To do this, add the view-source prefix to the URL of the page being inspected:

For example:

view-source:https://site/turbo-rezhim-opera/
