Google Speed test Tool...."Google's new Speed test Tools","Check your internet Speed"

Once in a while, every netizen has the urge to test internet speed and have a sense of satisfaction that they’re running a super-fast internet connection.

I use the Speed Test tool by Ookla to check the speed of my broadband connection. Generally, I use Google Search to visit the website. But the last time when I Googled the term “speed test,” I didn’t have to go much further than the search result itself.


Now  you can check you speed  test  by google new  speed test  tool,just  type google speed test in
Google. Click here  for  internet speed test

   Step - 2 :
                  Now click on link which is show in above image and click on start button.
     

Step-3 

              After the test completes, Google shows the average numbers of the upload and download speeds along with latency and server. It also mentions a brief text to describe the best possible use of your connection.

On an average, the speed test process costs around 40 MB of data. Currently, Google can only check internet speed for connections up to 700 Mbps. So, if you have a gigabit ethernet connection, don’t be sad if can’t you see the numbers crunching up.

Google has partnered with M-Lab to bring their speed test tool to fruition. M-Lab is a consortium which collects internet performance data and opens it for public use and research.

The latest Android version was launched by Google on August 21. If you’re the proud owner of a Google-made device, then the Android 8.0 OTA update for your device is on its way. It will be followed by the update for other brands in upcoming months. For the users who can’t wait, they can download and install Android O system images manually on their Pixel and Nexus devices.

Android 8.0 Oreo saw its release in coincidence with the total eclipse on Monday. It’s a usual tendency for Android users to get every next version on their devices as soon as possible.

The ones who have been a part of the Android beta program are aware of what taste the new dessert packs inside. But still, people would be eager to download and install the final stable build of Android O.

How get Android O update (OTA)?

As Google has officially released Android O, the official OTA update to the supported device will soon come. The update will first arrive on these devices:

• Google Pixel
• Google Pixel XL
• Google Pixel C
• Google Nexus 6P
• Google Nexus 5X
• Nexus Player

If you’re a part of Android O beta program, chances are that you’ll receive Android O OTA update before everyone else. Many users have reported on online forums that the update is already available for installation on Nexus 6P.

To check if your device is getting the update, you need to go to the Settings app on your phone and find About Phone option at the bottom. After tapping on About Phone option, you’ll need to go to System updates and check. If the update is available, follow the instructions and enjoy Android 8.0 update.

Download and install Android O on Google Devices

As always, Google-made devices are the first bakeries where the new snacks appear for the first time. Users of Pixel, Pixel XL, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, Nexus Player, and Pixel C can wait for the OTA update which would be arriving on their devices anytime soon.

There are system images available for these devices. Although they are meant for developers, restless Pixel and Nexus users can download and flash them on their devices. They can head towards the Android Developers portal from where they can download Android Oreo system images

How to install Android O manually?

After you’ve downloaded the system image file for your Nexus or Pixel device, you can flash the same using the instructions provided on the Developers portal. On the instructions page, click ‘Acknowledge’ to display the steps.

Read the steps carefully before doing anything as there are chances your device might get bricked if something goes wrong. Make sure your device has USB Debugging enabled when you connect it to your computer. You can find it in the Developer Options.

Also, as mentioned in the instructions, flashing the new system images would wipe all the data including apps, photos, videos, contacts, etc. from your device. Do remember to back up all the data.

Compatible devices running Android 8.0 Developer Preview 4 are also receiving automatic updates to the stable build of Android O. According to some reports, some beta users were facing issues while installing the stable build. Google’s Dave Burke later confirmed in a tweet that the problem had been fixed.

Getting Android O Update on other devices

Big house Android-makers like Samsung, HTC, Sony, Xiaomi, etc. have their own Android O update release schedule. That’s because of the uncountable number of devices for which they have to optimize the operating system after its release. This includes adding their custom launchers, bloatware, and other services.

Note: For checking the update availability, you need to follow the steps given in the OTA section (at the top) to install Android O update on your smartphone.

As far as Samsung is concerned, we can expect some announcement at their Galaxy Unpacked event scheduled to happen Wednesday.

A new entrant in the fight is Nokia – an old brand with the new DNA of HMD Global. Nokia came back to life this year with their set of budget Android devices including Nokia 3, 5, and 6 along with the recent flagship Nokia 8. The company has hinted about a pure Android experience for their users and it’ll be interesting to see how fast Nokia users manage to get Android O update.

Google’s Latest Search Feature Lets You Find Out If You’re Depressed

Google has added a new feature to its mobile search result. Now, if you’ll search “clinical depression” or other depression-related terms on Google Mobile, you’ll see an option to check if you’re depressed by taking an online test. Google has partnered with the National Alliance on Mental Illness to bring this clinically validated questionnaire to search results.

last year, Google rolled out a new feature called “Symptom Search” to help the users tell about the situations when one needed to visit a doctor. Now, going one step ahead, Google has rolled out a feature that will allow you to screen yourself for depression online.

As a result of a collaboration with the National Alliance on Mental Illness, a Google search on depression-related questions will show you an option to perform a check. In Google’s words: “When you search for “clinical depression” on Google on mobile, you’ll see a Knowledge Panel that will give you the option to tap “check if you’re clinically depressed.”

After tapping the option, you’ll see a PHQ-9, a clinically validated questionnaire, to test yourself. This way, you can privately self-assess to determine the level of depression. After that, you can easily make a decision to visit a doctor.

According to National Alliance on Mental Illness, people delay an average 6-8 years after the onset of symptoms. Depression is a treatable condition that’s impacting the lives of millions of people each year.

We hope that this depression test on Google turns out to be useful for people who can use it as the first step of getting a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Happy 22nd Birthday Windows 95 — How Bill Gates Changed the Computing Forever

Twenty-two years ago, Bill Gates changed the world. On August 24, 1995, Microsoft released Windows 95 for the general public, starting a desktop computing revolution that changed the way people used computers. There’s no denying  the fact that Windows 95 is responsible for shaping and guiding the Windows operating systems. 

The advent of Windows 95 meant a boom for the desktop PCs. Then, with an easier and more immersive graphical user interface, Bill Gates aimed to make PC a household device and change the world. It wasn’t the first version of Windows and people had seen many other iterations before. But, Windows 95 had an extraordinary impact on people and Windows 95 still has a cult fan following.

Windows 95 introduced the Start Menu–a feature present in Windows 10–that became the chief reason for the failure of Windows 8. Today, we all know that the Start Button is the heart and soul of a Windows OS that navigates you through programs and various commands. All the subsequent versions of Windows carried this button, except Windows 8.

On its website, Microsoft writes about Windows 95

Do you remember the hour-long instructional video produced by Microsoft that started Mattew Perry and Jennifer Aniston (Chandler and Rachel from Friends)? Take a look.

Talking about the other fancy promotions, the Empire State Building and Toronto’s CN Tower were lit up in Microsoft colors. If you think this was enough, let me remind you of the rumored $8 million paid to the Rolling Stones for allowing “Start Me Up” to be used as the soundtrack to its television ads.

To run Windows 95, you needed a PC with a 386DX or higher processor (486 recommended) and at least 4 MB of RAM (8 MB of RAM recommended). Upgrade versions were available for both floppy disk and CD-ROM formats, with availability in 12 languages.

Along with Windows 95, there came the Internet Explorer, which became the first web browser for many people. Now the PCs were more affordable, as well as they became a household device. Thanks to the hard work of Windows engineers and Bill Gates, in 1998, Microsoft became world’s biggest company.

Watch the Windows 95 Start Me Up commercial below:

Android O’s Official Name May Be Exactly What You Thought, Leak Reveals

Google tries to turn up the curiosity levels for every Android release, mostly, the naming part. For Android O, people have their assumptions about what name it might carry.

Many of them think the official name for Android O would be Oreo. But there are other possibility as well including Ontbijtkoek, Oliebol, Oatmeal Cookie, etc.

We can only hope that it’s a random name, not another hint. Indeed, Oreo would be a better choice than Octopus when picking names for Android O.

Curious minds can have a sense of satisfaction after knowing the name. But do keep in mind the fact that Android O release is scheduled for 21 August. Still, there are two days left. You can watch the live stream of the event happening in New York at 2:40 PM Eastern Time. The release date has been synchronized with the solar eclipse which is the first of its kind since 1918.
