Samsung introduces 128GB 3-bit eMMC 5.0 flash memory for mid-range smartphones


Samsung has introduced 128 gigabyte (GB), 3-bit NAND-based flashed storage based on 

 Embedded MultiMediaCard (eMMC) 5.0 technology targeted at mid-market smartphones 

 and tablets. The company has already introduced 128GB flash memory based on Universal 

 Flash Storage (UFS) 2.0 and eMMC 5.1 standards for top-end and premium smartphones. 

 Mid-market smartphones will now be able to increase their storage capacity to 128GB as 

 well with the new , says the company.

The new 128GB eMMC 5.0 would offer sequential data read speed of 260 MB/s, similar to 

 MLC NAND-based eMMC 5.1 memory. It can handle random data read and write 

 operations up to 6,000 IOPS (input/output operations per second), four times faster than 

 external memory card and 5,000 IOPS, 10 times faster, respectively.

 3-bit NAND storage was only used in SSDs for data centers, servers and PCs, now it has 

 extended it to the entire mobile memory storage market with the 3-bit eMMC 5.0 line-up. 

 The company says that it will continue to develop 3-bit NAND Flash memory offering 

 higher-performance and in higher densities.

UI/UX MUSINGS

1. Who else noticed this? . Unlike Facebook/twitter/Instagram where a "follow/friend request" can be canceled if you aren't interested in connecting any longer, LinkedIn's "connect/ invite" button doesn't have an "undo/cancel" feature from its #pending state. So, once you send an invite request....gooone! . Why so? I don't quite get that part(yet). Is it some deliberate smart engineering in UI usability? or someone just forgot something really important? 2 For those with connections >500, LinkedIn only shows "500+" connections on your profile like it's some upper limit. What's the big idea behind this? . Is there any psychology behind not showing the exact number of connections one has once it exceeds 500? . You know...does it dissuade people from treating LinkedIn the same way they treat IG, Facebook, Twitter, where much focus is placed on amassing the most followers in short time? . #justWondering 3

The Young Nigerian Developer

Every known developer in this world had a starting point. I was reading a blog post on  TechCrunch Onion  website about the winners of Techcrunch Disrupt NY 2017 Hackathon and I noticed that the winners were not more than 17 years of age and worked on virtual reality. In my mind, I was trying to convince myself that it is because of their location that is why it is like that.  But, Forget! That is no excuse. We can do much better too. Now, as a young Nigerian developer coming across programming at 18 years or maybe you went to a good primary or secondary school and you were introduced to programming at 13 years, I am going to be writing about how to improve yourself to become better in your field of choice. Hope you learn from this! Drill Yourself It is important as a young developer to drill yourself by getting to familiarize yourself with basic concepts in computer science, computer programming and also, the basics of your choice programming language. Many young developers
