Google Brings HTTPS to all Blogspot Blogs

Google today enables HTTPS to all the Blogspot blogs. Earlier in last September Google made HTTPS available as an option in the Blogspot account. But from today onwards encrypted connections (HTTPS) are enabled by default.

“We’re also adding a new setting called HTTPS Redirect that allows you to opt-in to redirect HTTP requests to HTTPS. While all blogspot blogs will have an HTTPS version enabled, if you turn on this new setting, all visitors will be redirected to the HTTPS version of your blog at https://<your-blog>.blogspot.com even if they go to http://<your-blog>.blogspot.com. If you choose to turn off this setting, visitors will have two options for viewing your blog: the unencrypted version at http://<your-blog>.blogspot.com or the encrypted version at https://<your-blog>.blogspot.com.”  – said by, Milinda Perera, Software Engineer, Security

However, Blogspot will still offer both access over HTTP and HTTPS. Because many blogspot templates and widgets may not work correctly over HTTPS, it’s probably worth testing both versions before making the full switch to HTTPS. On the other hand WordPress has been offering the same feature to all the websites on network since 2014. Moreover, recently wordpess has introduced this support to custom domains.

Xiaomi Mi Band 2 Met With Production Glitch

As we all know, from the past few weeks we have heard rumors about the Mi Max and Mi band 2 from Xiaomi. Yesterday, we reported that Mi Band 2 will have an LED Display rather than 3 leds on the front.

But some sources are now saying that the Mi band 2 production has met some problems. Now, the production of the second generation of the band has been stalled for the time being. CEO Lei Jun shared on Weibo that issues with mass production of the wearable have led to a delay of one month.

Recent leaks suggest that the Mi Band 2 will feature a display as well as a physical button, with the overall design similar to what we’ve seen from the first-generation Mi Band.
