Flipboard Briefing is a special version of Flipboard app for Samsung devices. Samsung wants to make flipboard briefing on Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 edge a personalized magazine so that you can get news from around the web based on your interest.
Unlike the regular Flipboard app, Briefing is only available to Samsung phone and tablet users. If you have a newer phone, then Flipboard Briefing probably came pre-installed, but it also might be rolled in with Bixby, your phone's AI, personal assistant. Because of this, it will automatically update every time your phone performs an update. Unfortunately, you can't uninstall it, but the "system app" can be disabled if you're not feeling it.

One of the unnecessary features built into the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge is Flipboard Briefing. Flipboard Briefing is a news feature that shows content tailored to your interests that appears on the far left page of the home screen.
You might notice that using the Galaxy S6 involves poking around in the settings. You can make some of those menus easier by configuring Quick Settings. Note this is different from Quick Settings on stock Android, which refers to the toggles accessible from the notification shade. On the Galaxy S6, Quick Settings refers to the buttons at the top of your main Settings menu. It takes you to your most frequently used settings pages.
Information Stream is a ticker of info that scrolls right to left along the side of the S6 edge's screen when active. You access this feature by quickly swiping your finger back and forth along the edge of the screen when the phone is in standby. Out of the box, the S6 edge comes with a clock that also shows the date and weather and streams for notifications, Twitter trending topics, Yahoo! news headlines, Yahoo! stock prices, Yahoo! sports scores, and Flipboard briefings. You can see how each of these streams look in the image below.
Android Debug Bridge or ADB is a powerful command-line tool that can perform several tasks. You can use a command to reboot your Samsung phone into the Download Mode. Moreover, ADB also makes it easy to disable, block, uninstall, and re-install the system apps on Android devices. The method described below not just works on Samsung devices but on all Android devices running Android 5.0 Lollipop and higher.
To illustrate just how simple and convenient these new and improved functions are, here are a few quick tutorials to enable you to unlock all the possibilities of the beautifully curved edge screen. To start, make your way to the edge screen menu in settings.
In addition to being able to more quickly access these contacts, you can set the edge screen to illuminate with different colors when there are notifications about them. Furthermore, People Edge lets you communicate with your friends using emoticons, pokes, images and handwritten messages.
Keep the Galaxy S6 edge+ silent, but know when you receive calls or notifications, even when the phone is turned over by, setting up Edge lighting. Once activated, a light will signal any incoming calls or messages. Also, if People Edge is on, the color of the indicator will correspond with your My people settings.
Ever wondered if your new shiny AES hardware-encrypted USB device really encrypts your data - or is just a fluke? If you have, come to our talk to find out if those products live up to the hype and hear about the results of the audit we conducted on multiples USB keys and hard drives that claim to securely encrypt data. In this talk, we will present our methodology to assess "secure" USB devices both from the software and the hardware perspectives. We will demonstrate how this methodology works in practice via a set of case-studies. We will demonstrate some of the practical attacks we found during our audit so you will learn what type of vulnerability to look for and how to exploit them. Armed with this knowledge and our tools, you will be able to evaluate the security of the USB device of your choice.
A processor is not a trusted black box for running code; on the contrary, modern x86 chips are packed full of secret instructions and hardware bugs. In this talk, we'll demonstrate how page fault analysis and some creative processor fuzzing can be used to exhaustively search the x86 instruction set and uncover the secrets buried in your chipset. We'll disclose new x86 hardware glitches, previously unknown machine instructions, ubiquitous software bugs, and flaws in enterprise hypervisors. Best of all, we'll release our sandsifter toolset, so that you can audit - and break - your own processor.
A rise in data analytics and machine learning has left the typical pentesters behind in the dust. This talk covers the required tools for consolidating, analyzing and visualizing the dark tools that are used by every red team. This can all be done at scale keeping up with even the most bleeding edge continues integration and deployments environments. We'll release the required framework for getting the data where it needs to be, the technical add-ons to ensure this data is ingested in usable formats, and dashboards for Splunk to leverage this data for mass pawnage of your target!
The only major pain point on the Galaxy S6 is the battery life. With just a 2550 mAh battery (2600 mAh in the GS6 edge), some find it tough to make it through a full day off the charger. Of course you can no longer just pop out the battery on your Galaxy S6 and replace it with a new one, but that doesn't mean you're without choices when it comes to extending the battery.
We'll show you how to change the look of the S6 TouchWiz interface (whether you want a small tweak or a wholesale revamp), how to bring your most frequently used shortcuts to the fore, how to disable some of the pre-installed features and apps, and more besides.
You can enable or disable call and notification alerts entirely, or give particularly important people the ability to make your phone ring or buzz when others can't. The Set schedule option is the one to use if you want to be specific about the hours when you can't be reached (when you're in bed for example).
One of the features ushered in with Android Lollipop was Smart Lock: it lets you disable the lock screen PIN code or pattern based on a list of trusted locations (such as your home) or trusted connected devices (such as your car stereo).
The screen grid is one of the more interesting options - it lets you cram more (or fewer) icons on each screen depending on your own preferences. You can also disable the Briefing screen by scrolling to the left after the long press.
This is only for the countries that have the feature as Samsung has done away with the Flipboard Briefing screen that clogged up TouchWiz on previous Galaxy phones. For those where the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge come equipped with a Flipboard Briefing screen it can be disabled. To do this, place your finger on an empty bit of home screen to enter its settings. Swipe to the Flipboard screen and hit the switch to the top right to disable the entire section.
I did exactly as you said, and when I disabled my galaxy calendar, my Google calendar stopped working. This is frustrating, who wants to have duplicate calendars with double notifications for everything. 2ff7e9595c
