Right now, almost all tech manufacturers are already updating their handsets with the latest Android 12 OS. But, this is the case with the original Surface Duo model. 

Because of this, some experts claimed that the delay of Android 11 OS on the dual-screen gadget is another reason for consumers to avoid purchasing this Microsoft smartphone. 

Although this is the case, the giant software developer confirmed that it is already testing the integration of Android 11 on its Surface Duo. But, Google still needs to do some verifications before the smartphone system is integrated into the handset. 

Why Microsoft Delays Surface Duo’s Android 11 OS Update

According to Android Community‘s latest report, the issue could be with the current staffing of Microsoft and Google. As of the moment, employees in different agencies and companies are still on vacation to celebrate New Year’s Eve.

Experts believe that Microsoft and Google are still short on staff since their employees are also enjoying their vacation leaves. 

But, this is still not the major reason since tech firms are usually scheduling the release of the software. There should be no delay if Microsoft did this since the processes would go as planned. 

If you are a Surface Duo, the best thing you can do right now is still wait for Microsoft’s further announcements before making any conclusion.  

When Will Android 11 OS Arrive on Surface Duo?

How father-son duo helped techies ‘hack exams’, earn top scores for big payday

New Delhi: The Intelligence Fusion and Strategic Operations (IFSO) unit of the Delhi Police has busted a “module” that has allegedly been taking online IT certification exams on behalf of students and professionals aiming to boost their career prospects in IT companies. So far, the police have arrested three people in connection with the money-for-marks scheme.

According to the police, the masterminds of the high-tech cheating racket are a father-and-son duo, Rajesh Kumar Shah and Deep Shah, who run an IT coaching institute in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The two allegedly hired a Delhi-based technical expert, Aklakh Alam, to take the exams remotely for clients.

“We received intel that several services are available on the dark web, in which hackers claim they can get the desired score by hacking into the device used by the examinee,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) K.P.S. Malhotra told ThePrint. Another police source said that the accused charged around Rs 9,000-10,000, and gave exams for about 200 clients.

The trio apparently specialised in cracking various online tech certification exams. Getting a high score in these competitive exams can help IT aspirants get better placements, DCP Malhotra told ThePrint.

“Various international certifications are prerequisites to upgrade technical skills. These certifications are being provided by a number of reputed organisations — there are certifications from Cisco, CompTIA, EC-Council… these play a crucial role in the selection and pay grade of a candidate in the IT sector as well in other industries,” the officer said. He added that high scores in these competitive exams can make a big difference to the career progress of IT aspirants.

“These certifications are taken up worldwide, by huge IT companies like Microsoft, Google etc and higher packages are given to the aspirants,” another police source said.

“They have been running this scam since the Covid-19 outbreak, as all examinations shifted to an online mode. The latest intel we received was [about the] Pearson IT certification,” the source added.

One Step Ahead: Duo Mobile: The Best Way to Two-Step

One Step Ahead logo

Another tip in a series provided by the Offices of Information Security, Information Systems & Computing and Audit, Compliance & Privacy

Two-Step Verification has been implemented for most PennKey users at the University of Pennsylvania. The fastest, easiest way to verify yourself for Two-Step is to use the Duo Mobile application on your smartphone (available for both Android and iPhones).

See for yourself how this works at https://www.isc.upenn.edu/how-to/two-step-faq

While Penn supports other verification code delivery methods like key fobs and SMS texts, Duo Mobile is the recommended solution. Key fobs can be lost, accidentally fall out of sync, and rely on non-replaceable batteries that eventually will fail. Verification codes sent by SMS text message usually require network access to work, and may be delayed or go undelivered due to network or carrier issues.

Duo Mobile avoids these problems. Verifying your identity by approving a “push” prompt is fast and requires no typing. Even when you lack network access, verification codes can still be instantly generated on the Duo Mobile app.

To set up and configure Duo Mobile, find detailed Two-Step instructions here: https://www.isc.upenn.edu/how-to/two-step-verification-detailed-instructions

When Duo Mobile is configured, a Two-Step Verification prompt can be accepted by tapping on “Approve,” with no need to type in a verification code. If you have inadequate or non-existent Wi-Fi or mobile data access, you can still use Duo Mobile by opening the application, tapping the University of Pennsylvania profile, and entering the verification code shown onscreen.

Note that with Duo Mobile, enrolling a new or replacement smartphone requires a brief setup process (even when using the same phone number as a previously enrolled device):

  • Generate one-time use codes before getting the new phone.
  • After the new phone is in hand, go to your Two-Step dashboard by signing in and using a one-time verification code if necessary, and then select “New Phone for Duo Push.”  
  • Enroll your phone in Duo Push without having to re-enroll in Two-Step…
