‘Find My Device’ lets you locate and control a lost or stolen phone or tablet from another Android device

Google has updated their awesome “Android Device Manager” app and given it a new name.

It’s now called the more intuitive Find My Device, and it works even better than ever.

In a nutshell, this fantastic app helps you locate and control a lost or stolen Android phone or tablet using another Android device.

With all the personal information that’s stored on smart phones these days, it makes sense to do whatever we can to keep that data out of the hands of would-be scammers and identity thieves.

This app is a great tool for accomplishing that if your Android device ever gets lost or stolen.

Find My Device lets you use another Android device to: 

1 – Locate a lost or stolen Android device on a map

2 – Remotely change the device’s lock code to prevent a thief from using it or accessing the information stored on it

3 – Remotely erase all the user data stored in the device’s memory

There are two prerequisites for using the app to locate and control a missing device:

1 – The missing device must be associated with a Google account that you control.

2 – It must also be turned on and connected to the Internet via 3G/4G or Wi-Fi.

You can download Find My Device for free from the Google Play Store.

Bottom line: If you lose your smartphone or other Android Device, there’s no guarantee that you’ll be able to find it again. But this awesome app will give you the best chance possible! [Source Site/Read More]

Atlantic Ocean current slows down to the record low in 1,000 years; Scientists blame global warmingAtlantic Ocean current slows down to the record low in 1,000 years; Scientists blame global warming.

The second largest ocean in the world, Atlantic Ocean is slowing down, its water current is slowing down to be specific. Atlantic Ocean current is the exchange of warm water from the north and the cold water from the south that regulates the global climate and flux of heat which is why it is often referred as a conveyor belt of the ocean. But recent studies suggest that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) which is the actual term for Atlantic Ocean current, is slowing down. In fact, it is presently at its lowest tip in last 1,000 years. There are two approaches made by researchers that can explain the slowed down pace of the water current linking to the climate change.

According to Jon Robson, one of the study’s authors and a researcher at the University of Reading states that following the historical data available with respect to the AMOC, the last 100 years reported the lowest point when compared to the last few thousand years. This has triggered the scientists to study it further. Current stats were released by two new research papers both published in journal Nature where both take a different approach to explain how and what took place behind the slowing down of AMOC over the past 150-odd years.
