The Nearby Share application is preparing to introduce a new format for sharing files, which can be sent to other devices by scanning a QR code with the destination smartphone.

Nearby Share is a way of sending files that only requires that both the mobile from which it is sent and the one that receives it be close, since it transfers this content using wireless technology (Bluetooth, WiFi, UWB or WebRTC).

Google is now working on a new format for sharing files via QR code, so that it will not be necessary to search for other terminals using this technology when sending videos or photos.

This has been verified by the Android Authority, which has indicated that when using Nearby Share the option ‘Use a QR code to share’ will appear below the search window for nearby devices.

Then, it must be scanned with the device on which it is expected to receive this content through applications such as Google Lens. Once recognized, the transfer will start. This portal has warned, however, that this feature is not yet available.

WhatsApp is rolling out a new feature that will allow users to link their accounts to the web version using their phone number, a feature spotted in the latest Android beta.

Currently, to use WhatsApp on the computer, the application must be opened on the mobile phone and access the Linked devices tab. Once that button is pressed, the phone must be directed to the PC or laptop screen to scan the QR code.

WABetaInfo has now discovered that, after downloading the latest WhatsApp beta update for Android 2.23.14.18, available in the Google Play Store, it is possible to proceed with this device linking in another way.

This portal has noticed the ‘Link with phone number’ option, which would indicate that, thanks to this feature, users will be able to link their account to WhatsApp Web without having to scan the QR code.

Once this new option has been chosen, the platform will show an interface that requests the entry of an 8-character code, which must be filled in once the notification with this number has been received.

WABetaInfo has recalled that this functionality is only available to beta testers who download the latest WhatsApp update, and has suggested that it will also be available for iOS.

Amazon, the e-commerce giant, opened its first physical fashion and accessories store Amazon Style, as a pilot test in Los Angeles, where customers will be able to purchase clothing for men and women, as well as shoes, accessories and cosmetic products.

The store has 40 dressing rooms that are equipped with “touch screens” where visitors can request “other products, sizes or colors, leave reviews of the items, as well as request recommendations.”

Simoina Vasen, director of Amazon Style, explained that customers “like to combine online shopping with physical purchases, in addition to touching and trying the products, so Amazon’s physical stores want to give more options on how, where and how to buy”.

The director stated that the physical store will also have an algorithm system to provide recommendations to users according to their preferences and tastes. In addition, both the physical store and the website will be synchronized when modifying prices and labeling.

Skype, for a long time, was the platform par excellence for making video calls until the world entered a pandemic due to Covid-19 and then Zoom entered in an overwhelming way adapting quickly to the different needs of users.

Microsoft has just announced that its calling platform will be faster, more reliable and will have a more modern design, integrating it with its operating system, Windows 11, which shows a new look in its entire interface, but mainly visible in the chat and the icons, respecting the Fluent Design guidelines, with new colors and gradients.

Another new feature is the ability to make video calls without the need to register on the platform. Additionally, Skype will have another interesting function called TwinCam. “After scanning a QR code from the mobile it will allow adding a second camera to the video call in progress.”

The Swiss company SMD Security Printing Sàrl with its Icynote brand is trying to create a bitcoin in paper money, similar to traditional banknotes, for cold wallet, in the middle of the digital age and in the midst of the rise of cryptocurrencies.

Currently, traditional physical bills and coins are used less and less by buyers, since most operations are carried out through mobile wallets, computers connected to the Internet or using credit or debit cards.

However, there are markets and people who do not have much knowledge in the management of smart devices or Bitcoin exchanges who want to invest in cryptocurrencies and keep their assets off the Internet.

And it is precisely those markets that Icynote wants to target. Martín Demierre, co-creator of the brand, stated “For these people is the ticket since they would not have to worry about a possible hacking or having their bitcoins stolen. Furthermore, when it is moved outside the network, it does not leave traces, which in many cases could facilitate the purchase or sale.”

Although there are also businesses that accept bitcoin as a form of payment and could use the bill as a wallet and receive funds directly from their customers, the buyer would only have to scan the QR code and send their cryptocurrencies directly to the ticket of the establishment.

Banknote manufacturing

The security of the banknote will be guaranteed, for which its authenticity will be certified with holograms, use of inks with magnetic and infrared properties and a security seal. In addition, it seeks to shield the protection of the stored BTCs.  Icynote executive emphasized in an interview, the banknote’s production process, explaining that each piece contains the private keys that are kept hidden.

“In the manufacturing process, nobody can see the private keys because the Swiss company that prints is ISO 2700 certified; that is, there is integrity of the information, just like the printing of passports, checks or credit cards. A quantum generator, which is not connected to the Internet, provides a random number that cannot be repeated”, Demierre said.

During manufacturing there are two people, from different companies, mutually monitoring each other and who are monitored by video cameras. in none of the stages nobody can see the code, even people do not carry mobile phones with them. Demierre pointed out.
