ANDROID 9.0 PIE IS NOW OFFICIAL


Android Pie is official and is currently rolling out on all the Pixel smartphones and the Essential Phase-1.

After putting Android users through four beta updates of Android P, it would seem that finally, Google has announced what the 'P' in Android P actually stands for. In line with all its other Android versions being named after a dessert, Google has named Android 9.0 as Android Pie.




What’s New in Android 9.0 Lets Check Out
Android 9 harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to give you more from your phone. Now it's smarter, faster and adapts as you use it.
Android 9 adapts to you and how you use your phone, learning your preferences as you go. Your experience gets better and better over time, and it keeps things running smoother, longer.

App Actions predicts what you’re about to do, so you get to your next task more quickly. If you do something like connect your headphones, the playlist you were listening to earlier is front and center.
·       Multi-camera support

With Android 9, developers can now create immersive experiences using streams from two or more physical cameras, such as on devices with either dual-front or dual-back cameras. Examples include depth, bokeh, stereo vision, and more.

·       External camera support

 Android 9 now supports external USB / UVC cameras on certain devices.

·       Do Not Disturb
Improvements to Do Not Disturb to silence not just notification sounds, but also all the visual interruptions. Calls from starred contacts will still come through, so you don't have to worry about missing something urgent.

·       App dashboard

Get a daily view of the time spent on your phone, how frequently you use different apps, and how many notifications you get.

·       Wind Down 

Set a daily schedule to get your phone ready for bed. Grayscale fades your screen to gray while Do Not Disturb silences notifications for a restful sleep.

·       App timers

App timers let you set daily time limits for your apps. When you reach the limit, the app is paused for the rest of the day.

·       Multiple users on dedicated devices

Android 9 makes it easy for users to share a single device, good for shift workers or public kiosks.

·       Work tab in launcher

Now, you can visually separate your work apps. Tap on the work tab to see work apps all in one place, and turn them off with a simple toggle when you get off work.

·       Postpone Over-the-air (OTA) updates

Android 9 now provides the ability for Enterprise IT admins to define freeze periods up to 90 days during which time devices in their fleet will not update the Android OS. This ensures their devices states remain unchanged during critical time like holidays.

·       Android Backups

Android 9 enables encryption of Android backups with a client-side secret (the device PIN, pattern or password) for greater security.

·       Android biometric prompt

Android 9 introduces a number of new security features, including a standardized biometric authentication prompt to provide a more consistent authentication experience across Android.

·       Android Protected Confirmation

On compatible hardware, apps can now use UI controlled by the secure hardware to get your confirmation for a sensitive transaction, such as making a payment.

·       StrongBox

On compatible hardware, apps can now take advantage of tamper-resistant hardware to protect their private keys, making it harder than ever for malware to steal their credentials.

·       Privacy enhancements

Android 9 safeguards privacy in a number of new ways. Now, Android will restrict access to your phone's microphone, camera, or other sensors when an app is idle or running in the background. (If an app does need to access a sensor, it will show a persistent notification on your phone.) Android 9 also brings important improvements that protect all web communications and offer private web surfing.

"samba-tool" to Manage a Linux based Active Directory

By
A linux based Active Directory server can be managed from a Windows client using the Remote System Administration Tool very easily, and it is the convenient way for system administrators with only Microsoft Windows background. But for administrators who love to use the command line,  "samba-tool" is a great command line tool to manage Active Directory configured on a Linux Box. Throughout this post and on my future posts I will be showing hands-on examples about using the  "samba-tool"  command. User Management using samba-tool Create a new user using samba-tool Syntax: samba-tool user create <username> [<password>] [options] samba-tool user create user1 password --given-name=firstname --surname=surname The above command will create a new user with the name as user1 and password will be password, you can type your desired password. The options --given-name and --surname are to assign user first name and surname. To make the user change ...

Managing a Linux based Domain Controller from a Windows Machine

By
On my last post I had demonstrated how to setup a Linux machine as Active Directory Domain Controller. On this post I will help you managing a Linux based domain controller from a Windows client machine. Most of the Active Directory administration tasks such as user & group creation, dns management cab be done using Samba server provided tool "samba-tool" , but for system administrators who has no experience working in a linux environment it can be a difficult task, even for experienced linux administrators it can be a bit time consuming to use "samba-tool" command for managing every active directory task. The Microsoft Remote System Administration Tool is a very nice software to manage a Linux based domain controller. Next I will help you downloading, installing and managing a Linux based domain controller from Windows client machine. I will be using a 64 bit Windows 7 pc for this example.
