When it comes to drones, there is one particular name that stands heads and shoulders above the rest: DJI. The company has rolled out some pretty memorable drones in the past, and the future continues to look bright with the release of the Mavic 2 Zoom. The Mavic 2 Zoom happens to be the first foldable consumer drone in the world complete with optical zoom capability, which would be an interesting way of shooting your videos from special angles. It will be powered by a 1/2.3-inch CMOS sensor, ensuring that whatever creative storytelling that you have set out to embark upon will be done in the utmost professional level.
With the Mavic 2 Zoom, one will be able to get closer to the subject at a moment’s notice through a combination of two-times optical zoom (24-48mm) with two-times digital zoom that will simulate a 96mm telephoto lens which will capture lossless video in Full HD resolution. With hybrid auto-focus in place on the Mavic 2 Zoom, it will merge both phase and contrast detection in order to deliver higher focus accuracy alongside an increased focus speed of up to 40% faster than ever. With this drone, you can shoot vivid 12-megapixel photos, or perhaps try out the brand new Super Resolution feature that will rely on optical zoom in order to capture and stitch nine photos together automatically, resulting in a highly detailed 48-megapixel image. Folks who love landscape photography will find this particular function invaluable.
Apart from that, the Mavic 2 Zoom has the exclusive new Dolly Zoom QuickShot mode. This mode will open up a whole new visual language door when it comes to storytelling, something that only professional cinematographers had access to prior. In Dolly Zoom QuickShot mode, it creates an otherworldly warped perspective as it automatically zooms in as it flies away from its subject, ensuring that the subject remains at the same size while the full background of the scene is revealed. The cameras will capture vivid 4K ultra-high definition video with extreme detail, while recording at a maximum bitrate of 100 megabits per second using the H.265 compression codec.

Game of Thrones is undoubtedly one of the most popular shows on the planet and millions of fans across the globe are anxiously looking forward to the final season. HBO is yet to confirm precisely when the first part of the upcoming season will air but it did offer a slight glimpse of the final season in a promotional video highlighting its 2019 lineup.
You’ll have to look really closely at the video above to make out the glimpse that’s offered in this promotional reel. It includes footage from the most recent season as well in addition to a previously unseen scene from season 8 which shows Jon Snow embracing Sansa Stark.
While it may appear to some as old footage highlighting their reunion at Castle Black, it’s actually new footage from season 8 which shows that the two will be reunited at Winterfell. If you followed the previous season, at least you can rest assured that Jon Snow makes it back to Winterfell.
HBO hasn’t confirmed as yet when it will air the final season of Game of Thrones. What we do know is that the final six episodes will be aired in the first half of next year. Fans certainly can’t wait for the new season to arrive.

If you’ve been meaning to purchase an Xbox One but want to pay for it in installments then Microsoft’s new program will appeal to you. The rumors have turned out to be true and the company has launched Xbox All Access. This service will provide console financing over a period of two years and will also include access to Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass for a set price every month.
Those who want to buy an Xbox One S can pay $22 per month for 24 months. They will get the console as well as a subscription to Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold. The former will let them access the library of more than 100 games.
Xbox All Access isn’t just limited to the Xbox One S. Customers who would rather have the Xbox One X can pay $35 per month for two years. They will get the same incentives in addition to the company’s most powerful console ever.
Do keep in mind, though, that Microsoft is only offering Xbox All Access in the United States. It’s certainly enticing as the prices quoted offer the console and the associated services at a discount compared to paying for all of them individually.
Microsoft mentions on its website that Xbox All Access is available for a limited time only. Customers will have to head over to a Microsoft Store to sign up for it.

WhatsApp is the most popular cross-platform messaging service. It lets users backup data to Google Drive. Many don’t send a lot of media files through WhatsApp so their backups would be small. However, those who share a lot of content would have heftier backups which would obviously take up space in Google Drive. The company recently teamed up with Google and announced that WhatsApp backups won’t count towards Drive storage. However, these backups won’t be encrypted.
Starting November 12th, WhatsApp backs stored in Google Drive will no longer count towards the account’s storage. The Facebook-owned messaging service has started informing users, though, that the end-to-end encryption offered for messages and media on WhatsApp won’t be applicable on backups that are stored on Google’s servers.
The service is leaving it up to the users to decide if they want to backup their data to Google Drive. They will be informed when backing up that their data won’t be encrypted when it’s stored in the count. Google does have encrypted on the server side but it reportedly holds the keys for decrypting the information.
This means that they could provide access to law enforcement should the need arise. The vast majority of users won’t be concerned with this and will continue to make use of this anyway. It doesn’t affect WhatsApp users on iOS as their data is not backed up to Google Drive but to iCloud instead.
