It is already in the news that Samsung is currently working on its upcoming Galaxy S23 series, It is further tipped that the tech giant is planning to launch its flagship somewhere around February of the coming year (2023). The sources have confirmed the line for the Galaxy S23 series, which includes Galaxy S23, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra. These models and monikers have been in talks for quite some time, hence some patches of details have been scrapped in the reports around this series.
During the earning call with Qualcomm CFO Akash Palkhiwala for the last quarter of 2022, he stated that there will be a positive impact on the company’s revenue with the launch of Samsung Galaxy S23 Series. He further affirmed the company will have a global share in the upcoming Samsung’s flagship, that will be up from 75 per cent on the preceding S22 series. The major takeaway from the conversation with the CFO, involves the indication towards some specifications of the arriving Galaxy series. It is hinted that the South Korean company’s Galaxy S23 series will be powered by Snapdragon Chipsets. Precisely, the upcoming handset will be powered by the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC, promising never been better efficiency for the device. There is also some report regarding a few other specifications of Samsung’s upcoming series besides its processor, such as great battery retention and enhanced camera features, for the other list of specifications we still need to wait. The launch date of the flagship is yet to be declared, but it will probably hit the floor in the first week of February. When it comes to brilliant performance, Samsung delivers well on money. Its last launched series and foldable phones justify its performance likeability.
Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Chipsets exclusively enable numerous advantages, including generating next-generation mobile experience, developed to be smooth, intelligent, quick and secured with amazing graphics., it makes the usage of the handset vast, user-friendly, and satisfactory. Snapdragon Chipsets provide with all, these processors never fail to support worldwide network connectivity, along with yet unmatchable speed and power efficiency. If tech gurus are to be believed, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Chipsets contribute heavily to the efficiency of the devices.
Conclusion
To recap a little, the launch of the Galaxy S22 series, where several S22 variants were found to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chipset across various regions, while some were powered by Exynos 2200. However, the news earlier this year addressing the multi-year agreement between the South Korean tech giant company and Qualcomm affirms the upcoming Samsung flagships will be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Chipsets. The deal seems to thicken the plot, as several other Samsung devices will also be powered by the snapdragon chipsets, which will include tablets, PCs, ER, etc.
When it comes to anime, Japan is the undisputed king and has been so for a long time, which is saying a lot considering how the film industry has sustained itself against the dominance of Hollywood for a sustainable period of time.
Anime series too has been extremely popular in Japan and has transcended borders, which is why there is a massive demand for Japanese anime series and movies for a long time in the western world, which speaks of the clout that Japanese entertainment has had on the entire world.
Jujutsu Kaisen is one extremely popular anime series since the past few years with an interesting storyline and just as many interesting characters to propel the story at a smooth and steady pace so that the audiences’ interest isn’t wavered from it.
Gege Akutami is the writer and illustrator of the series in the Manga genre, which is are comics or graphic novels from Japan. A big reason for its popularity is Yuta Okkotsu, the lead protagonist of the series.
What is more interesting is that he is a teenager that has the spirit of Rika Orimoto, the Queen of Curses, guiding him to his path even though she died six years prior to the story and has been cursed because both were childhood sweethearts that promised each other to get married upon growing up.
He did make an appearance in the Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie and managed to grab many eyeballs, despite having negligible screen time in the anime series, which did not hinder his popularity in any manner as his standalone movie was enough to prove his mettle.
For the unversed, Yuta Okkotsu is a special grade sorcerer cursed by his childhood friend Rika Orimoto and is soon taken under the wing of Goju Satoru as a first year student at Tokyo Jujutsu High and trains him along with Maki Zenim, Panda, and Toge Inumaki.
Once Orimoto passed away, Okkotsu gained his renowned powers and abilities when he was cursed by the former due to her immense love for him and the constant urge to be by his side, which led to her becoming the source of his power.
The shocking twist that is revealed later on is that it wasn’t Rika who cursed Yuta but it was the other way round albeit inadvertently as Okkotsu could not bear the death of his dear friend.
List of Powers of Yuta Okkotsu
Copy Cursed Techniques is one of the well-known powers that Yuta possesses, which is similar to The Copy Ninja of Naruto’s Kakashi Hatake, but this is one through which Yuta can give Kakashi a run for his money where he doesn’t even require additional tools to flawlessly copy curse any technique, which he can pick up in a flash.
Summoning Weapons is another renowned power that Yuta is endowed with where he can do so with the help of Rika, which was shown in the movie when he summoned a megaphone with the ‘Snakes and Fangs’ symbol that belongs to the Inumaki Clan, which can be shown in detail in the manga series.
Yuta Okkotsu possesses a large amount of cursed energy, which he can hardly exhaust even during fights as he belongs to a famous and powerful clan but here it needs to be mentioned that he obtained them from Rika, while it was the combination of these powers that helped him to construct a tank within himself, in which his cursed energy is stored in unlimited measure.
Change is the only constant thing in this world that has consistently lasted ever since it came into being and one that continues to this day. It is considered the spice of life because nothing remains constant, whether it is good or bad, and people have to accept it come what may.
Technology continuously undergoes change as well where inventions/discoveries that were once considered revolutionary breakthroughs at the time of their launch have become everyday modes of convenience today.
Social media has made our lives much easier and this world has become a small place ever since the likes of Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, among others came into being but now people are looking forward to Artificial Intelligence to burst forth and takeover big time.
DALL-E is a machine learning model developed by OpenAI that uses natural language descriptions for generating digital images, which are called ‘prompts’ and came out only recently in January 2021 that uses a modified version of GPT-3 due to which the images are generated naturally.
While DALL-E was restrictive in the initial stages, it became more openly available for people from July 2022 as OpenAI has now released DALL-E API (Application Program Interface) to app developers, due to which more and more apps will be allowed both DALL-E and DALL-E 2, which is a successor to the former.
People will be able to enter random keywords due to the AI image generator tool, following which the image will be generated by following ‘natural language descriptions’, a trait not seen earlier.
There is a major responsibility riding on the company as the tool can be used by unscrupulous elements for the wrong reasons, which is why it has released improved moderation methods to prevent it from happening.
DALL-E does not allow people to upload realistic images and even those that closely or distantly resemble other people, especially famous people on the world scene like movie stars and politicians.
The fact that DALL-E is being used by more than 5 million people makes it all the more important to prevent any mishap from taking place as any of them can use it to their advantage as it is used by third-party apps as well.
Conclusion
Due to DALL-E API, users are given more liberty over their artwork while earlier, the ownership rights were owned by OpenAI and could not get the deserved credit but with the new changes, the safety and security has improved to a considerable extent due to which there is little chance for any malicious element to generate content that violates content policy.
With India on the cusp of a nationwide 5G rollout, every day the headlines are full of new announcements, policies, and telecom decisions. 5G Technology, the 5th Generation cellular telecommunication technology, will soon reach the last mile of the country and the excitement in the cellular industry is evident. But this is all about the 5G cellular communication network, what about 5G LAN technology? There hasn’t been much chatter around 5G LAN, while concept wise both 5G and LAN seem contradictory when put together. Let’s understand what 5G LAN is and why it is equally interesting as 5G cellular.
LAN, an abbreviation used for the term – Local Area Network, is the network used to connect a restricted local environment to the internet. The internet networks used in closed spaces like a corporate office premise or inside a home are basically LAN. And 5G LAN is when the 5th Generation technology is used in closed circuit group terminals. For use inside a specific infrastructure, 5G LAN integrates into its existing IT network to deliver network services beyond what’s possible through a regular network and bind it all locally. A 5G LAN creates a high-capacity and low-latency enterprise wireless LAN network. It also applies QoS policies for latency and creates a large coverage area with high-speed mobility for various devices such as mobile, IoT and robotics.
As for the capacity of the 5G core network, 5G LAN supports both mutual communication under the same user panel function and mutual communication under different user panel functions. This in simple terms would mean breaking the limit on the physical distance between twp devices.
One of the most significant features of 5G LAN is that it has the ability to connect with any user’s current existing data communication network and provide a friendly plug and play functionality along with mutual access.
Uses and Advantages of 5G LAN
5G LAN connects different 5G devices and facilitates building a useful mobile LAN network. Local networking through such a local network helps the infrastructure of different organisations such as enterprises, governments building, schools, and families to interconnect devices better within a specific region.
5G LAN is also revolutionary for office networks along with transforming connectivity in production environments including industries and mines. Since it can facilitate large bandwidth and low latency, 5G LAN can allow the digitization of industrial scenarios. 5G LAN enables wireless connection between different production elements in different production stages through its excellent wireless communication technology.
There is a general perception that a Wi-Fi connection already facilitates similar features as 5G LAN and thus there are no added benefits. This is, however, far from a correct observation. First of all, the Wi-Fi networks especially the Wi-Fi 4 and Wi-Fi 5 networks are not as reliable and dependable as a 5G LAN. A 5G LAN can be better at meeting the high-speed secure requirements of industries. Secondly, the maintenance cost of Wi-Fi devices and networks is relatively higher than maintaining a 5G LAN connection. Moreover, 5G LAN is powerful in managing group networks which is the primary requirement of many close circuit infrastructural needs and cannot be dependent on a Wi-Fi network.

Apple iPhone 15 Latest Rumors You Won’t Want To Miss
Apple introduces a new iPhone series every year making it one of the most important events on the Apple calendar. Despite the expansion of Apple’s market share in the computer hardware and software services markets, iPhones remain the company’s most important product. Recently, Apple launched the iPhone 14 series however within a few weeks, speculation surrounding the Apple iPhone 15 series is already widespread. Many people are already looking ahead to the Apple iPhone 15 before the iPhone 14 has even had a chance to make a splash in the market. While there are rumors regarding the possible changes and upgrades, these reports help in understanding the path that Apple will most likely pursue with the new iPhone.
USB Type-C Might Make Its Way To iPhone 15
As Apple prepares to move to the USB-C port, the Lightning port for the iPhone will likely be phased out around 2023. Since all iPhones sold in Europe must include USB-C connectors by 2024, Apple must either update the design of all iPhones globally or develop new iPhones specifically for the European market.
Improvements With Dynamic Island
While the more affordable iPhone 14 models continue to have a notch as their display, Apple has launched the Dynamic Island for its premium iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models. If you’re interested in the Dynamic Island but don’t want to spring for a Pro iPhone, hold out until the iPhone 15 is released.
Improved Periscope Lens
There have been rumours for years that Apple is developing periscope lens technology for its products, and 2023 seems like a good bet for its debut. Some Android smartphone makers already utilize periscope lenses because their optical zoom capabilities surpass those of a regular telephoto lens. For example, the current iPhone 14 Pro versions only provide a 3x optical zoom, but Apple may increase this to 5x or even 10x with a periscope lens.
Solid State Volume and Power Buttons
Recently, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo stated that Apple would include solid-state volume and power buttons in the iPhone 15 rather than physical buttons, similar to the trackpad found on Macs and the Home button seen on the iPhone 7. In addition, the haptic feedback would replace the mechanical button push on the solid button, simulating the sensation of pressing a button on the solid button.
Nanometre A17 Bionic Chip
The iPhone 15 Pro versions will likely be the first to have a processor manufactured by Apple supplier TSMC at a 3-nanometer chip. If Apple does decide to use a processor with a 3nm manufacturing process for the A17, it will be a significant advance over the A16. The A16 chip, which is manufactured using a 4nm technology, was exclusive to the Pro models, and it is anticipated that the A17 chip will also be entire into the iPhone 15 Pro.
Apple’s In-House 5G modem
After acquiring the modem division of Intel in 2019 for $1 billion, Apple has been diligently toiling away at the development of its very own in-house cellular modem for several years now. In November, Mark Gurman reported that Qualcomm would likely deliver “the majority of new modems” for the iPhone 15, which is slated to be released in September.
New Name?
According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple may release a new high-end “Ultra” model in place of the “Pro Max” version of the iPhone 15, which the company now sells. That would be consistent with the Apple Watch Ultra, and it would provide an excuse for Apple to restrict some features, like the periscope lens technology, to the most expensive model of the iPhone.
Conclusion
The iPhone 15 series has the potential to be a complete game-changer for Apple as well as the whole smartphone industry. Also, there’s a lot to play for now that cameras, OSs, and CPUs have all seen several updates. Some customers may switch from Android to iOS because of improvements, such as the USB-C port, periscope lens technology, dynamic island features and other listed rumours.

Chainsaw Man, with more than 18 million copies in circulation as of October 2022, is a well-received Japanese manga anime series known for its captivating storyline, humour, and raw brutality. This is the story of Dinji, a young protagonist who fuses physically with a dog-like devil Pochita and thus, gets the power of transforming any of his body parts into Chainsaws.
But we are not discussing Chainsaw Man Denji here. Instead, we are talking about another interesting character from the Chainsaw Man Manga series which has many characters such as Aki Hakayawa, Makima, Asa Mitaka and more. The character we are focusing on here, however, is Power. Power is the gifted accomplice of Dinji and easily a fan-favourite character from the series. She is powerful, she is mysterious, and she is truly wild.
To know more about her, here are 10 facts about Power in Chainsaw Man (2022) you need to know.
So, Power is the devil trapped in a human body in a desperate attempt to avoid death. The devil in this process loses some of its power but they still are a devil. The original memories and personality traits of the devil now house in Power.
Power isn’t really fond of humans because they are humans. Nothing personal fellow humans though! The fact is that Power doesn’t have very high opinions when it comes to the human race. She perceives humans as cowards and buffoons.
Power’s blood horns that grow out of her head further grow significantly whenever she takes in more blood than her present state requires.
Power can be often found lying to your face. There are no morality trophies to win here since this is no story of an ideal hero. Power is a rough antihero and if needed she can lie for her benefit. She can also resort to lying for fun or to avoid facing uncomfortable moments.
Power enjoys the goriness and doesn’t mind getting blood-soaked during a fight. We have often seen male characters with such acceptance of violence in online gaming but Power probably is the only female character to share similar personality traits.
Power draws inspiration from the famous South Park character Eric Cartman. Similar to that foul-mouthed kid, Power is also rude, self-centred, egomaniacal, and many times obnoxious. Many say there are shades of Walter Sobchak in Power as well.
Power doesn’t see any incentive in being hygienic and clean. She is probably one anime character that is most likely to forgo baths, avoid washing hands, or even not use the toilet properly.
Power loves Cats! She has grown fond of Meowy so much that the cat has become the only living being on earth Power would defend beside herself.
Power isn’t interested in friendship as the devil inside her probably doesn’t believe in the concept. This is also an extension of her arrogant and fellow human-hating attitude. She is far from being sentimental about things that will make her weak, or rather make her appear weak. Meowy – the cat is probably the only creature towards whom Powers feels something.
Power’s name has a Christian connection. Interestingly, Power is the only character in Chainsaw Man’s entire franchise whose name isn’t Japanese. When we first meet her, the name almost seems unreal to the world. However, author Tatsuki Fujimoto has shed light on this. At Jump Festa 2021, Fujimoto revealed to the audience that the name Power is derived from Christian angles roots.

Nothing could be worse than getting stuck with a dead smartphone or a laptop right when we need them the most. And let’s be honest, there is no time of the day when we do not need our smartphones. While at that moment we can curse our bad luck as much as we want, the truth of the matter is that every lithium-ion battery has a fixed lifecycle.
A lithium-ion battery on average has 500 battery cycles, which is roughly a year and a half of full battery runs. A battery cycle is basically every full phone charging from zero to full. This simply means the more full charge cycles our mobile phone or other such devices goes through, the quicker the battery or device entirely will have to be replaced. There are, however, a few tricks and best ways to charge your device that can ultimately make its battery last way longer and save you some mobile phone repair costs. Let’s find out.
First of all, avoid your device battery from draining to zero per cent and to charging to the maximum. Many people assume that letting the battery drain completely and then charging it might calibrate the battery. But the story is completely different in lithium-ion batteries. These do not have any memory to calibrate. In fact, letting the battery drain completely and then charging it to a hundred per cent only shortens the battery’s lifespan.
Secondly, charge your devices slowly keeping the revolutionary fast charging technology for emergencies only. Fast charging reduces battery life. You can try connecting your device to your laptop or computer for charging, which uses a slow charging mechanism for charging the battery.
Thirdly, stop charging your device over hundred per cent. And do not keep the device charging overnight. Many of us are guilty of this where we connect our devices to the charging plug and then forget about it altogether. Charging devices beyond 100% can cause great damage to the battery and eventually reduce the battery life. The high voltage passing through an already-charged battery can also turn dangerous as the overheating builds up heat inside the device body. Ideally, the battery shouldn’t be drained below 30 per cent and charged above 80 per cent during a single charge.
While how you charge your device does make a difference, there are many other ways that can make a lot of difference in how your device battery performs. One such battery saver way is shutting the WiFi and Bluetooth features off when not in use. This should not be a thing to mention but most of us, if we check our smartphones right about now, would find either the Bluetooth or the WiFi support switched on. Sometimes we keep both switched on for no reason or immediate use.
Another thing that can bring about a huge difference in the device battery lifespan is switching off the location feature. Many devices, especially smartphones, tablets and computers, have apps that keep the location feature on in the background. This drains off the device’s battery even when the device or the particular app or feature is not in use.
Any electronic device is just as useful as its battery life. So, make sure you use it effectively and take care of the above points while charging or otherwise to have a longer battery lifespan.

Gritty crime thrillers have become synonymous with Indian web series with every other streaming network releasing a new desi crime saga every month. However, only a few of these too-many-to-count gritty desi thrillers have been really impactful and even fewer have been able to develop a dedicated fanbase. Amazon Prime Video’s Mirzapur, starring Pankaj Tripathi in lead, has probably been one of those few shows that were impactful and at the same time were able to create a fanbase. The impact of the show has been such that many criminal acts along the lines of incidents shown in the series have come to light since the show first aired with the accused admitted being inspired by the series. However, the sole credit of this superhit genre doesn’t really belong to Mirzapur alone. It was Saif Ali Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui starrer Netflix original Sacred Games that first bought these mafia violence-laden stories into the spotlight.
