‘Game of Thrones’ season 8 teaser released by HBO

Nearly a year and a half after the last episode of Game of Thrones season 7 ended, HBO has finally shared a trailer and release windows for the eighth and final season of the hit series. As we all expected, season 8 will debut in April 2019, though HBO still isn’t ready to tell us the exact day that the first episode will air.

Squoosh is the Google’s powerful new image converter that works in any browser

Google just launched a powerful new image converter called Squoosh at its Chrome Developer Conference that’s going to help you convert a bunch of image formats into the kind of image you want to use. Squoosh is an online tool that works in any browser, not just Google Chrome, but the entire process takes place on the computer and everything is saved locally.

The app isn’t designed as a competitor to apps that already exist to pull off the same kind of tricks. Instead, it is designed to showcase new technologies.

The app supports a bunch of image formats, including OptiPNG, MozJPG, WebP, Browser PNG, JPG, and WebP, and you’ll be able to customize the actual image conversion for some of them. Some formats will have custom parameters that can be edited, like WebP, while others won’t.

You can easily choose between formats and modify the parameters, and the app does the conversion almost immediately, showing the result in the preview area. A handy slider on the screen lets you move between the original and the converted image to see how they compare. You can also resize and change the palette independently of the actual conversion process.

From the looks of it, Squoosh is pretty intuitive to use, and while it may take some time adjustments compared to similar options, if you’re already using other programs to convert images it sure looks like a simple enough app to master. What the app doesn’t do is bulk conversions, so you’ll need a different app to handle that.

Allen He, the marketing manager at a small smartphone company called Doogee, posted an image on Twitter that collects all of the iPhone X copycats out there and dumps them into one graphic. There’s an added layer of irony here, of course, since Doogee also steals design elements from Apple’s iPhone X, but it’s an interesting image nevertheless.

If he would have waited Oneplus 6 would have made the list. :)
