The last few months have been a trying time for global entrepreneur and Tesla CEO Elon Musk ever since he first decided to purchase Twitter for an astronomical amount but things don’t seem to be going right for him or his company.

Twitter can be classified as one of the biggest platforms we have when it comes to social media with its followers numbering on billions and the numbers continue to grow with each passing day.

Twitter

It was considered the first big platform where people would vent out their thoughts and frustrations regarding the world in a civilized manner but over the years, the platform has become replete with toxic and violent people that want to force their thoughts and opinions on others with many of them going to great extents to do so.

Twitter-Elon Musk Lock Horns for Upcoming Legal Battle; Company Approves Takeover

In Brief

There was a time when print and electronic media was ruling the roost and what they telecasted was considered news, even though most of it was fake, which users had no option but to believe despite the glaring plotholes in many of them.

However, when Twitter burst forth, it provided a universal platform for one and all, which proved to be the ‘other side of the coin’ where common people could catch fake news red-handed and today, print media has been rendered obsolete and out of synchronization with times.

Now, in 2022, Twitter is arguably in the top 3 list of the most popular social media platforms in existence, which many people tried to capitalize upon, not just Elon Musk, which has become a tug of war of sorts.

Elon Musk came up with an interesting offer to purchase Twitter for a jaw dropping $44 million in the hopes that its shareholders would find the deal interesting and right up their alley citing high return of investments in the near future.

While Musk had made the offer in early 2022, the problem came when he backed out of the deal in July of the same year, leaving many people shell shocked as many of them began to question the sincerity of his decision in the next few weeks.

Musk, it seems, was very serious about the matter as he wrote to Twitter countless times, asking them to terminate the deal once and for all, which he claimed to be due to Twitter giving an undisclosed amount to their former employee-turned-whistleblower.

This allegation was countered by Twitter that the payment made to the whistleblower in noway breached the terms and conditions of the contract and asked Musk to reconsider his decision but to little avail.

There was a turn of events in September 2022 when Twitter shareholders unanimously voted in favour of Musk’s offer, despite the fact that Twitter and Tesla will soon meet in court on October 17, 2022.

As part of the litigation, Twitter Inc. will be questioning Elon Musk to walk away from the $44 million deal, under oath in Delaware on September 26-27, which might even extent to 28th.

The legal tussle has affected some of the biggest names in Wall Street and Silicon Valley, which includes the likes of Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, former CEO Robert Swan, among many others.

The five-day trial will begin on October 17 in Wilmington, Delaware, where both sides will meet face-to-face and accuse the other of breaking the agreement, with Musk also accusing Twitter of concealing grave flaws in their data security program.

Conclusion

All eyes are now on October 17, 2022, when the case is set to go on trial where there will be a lot of allegations and counter allegations, mud-slinging, accusations, testimonies, and other things that one can expect in such trials, which is another big one after the Johnny Depp-Amber Heard trial.

Honor X6 Smartphone to Debut in Saudi Arabia; Detailed Features Inside

Honor X6

With all the big tech giants launching their devices in the past few months at such a breakneck pace, how can Honor be left behind? The company is all set to launch its new smartphone, Honor X6, in Saudi Arabia with the same fanfare and festivities as it does in the other big markets.

There were many speculations going on about whether the model will be launched in the middle eastern regions or not but the company put all of them to rest and confirmed the news via its official website along with their other social media platforms so that the news is spread far and wide.

Brief Summary

However, with all that being said, the tech giant has expressed its reservations for releasing its devices in the middle east like whether it will be as well received as in the west or the Asian parts of the globe even though the middle east is no lesser a market for the company as the others.

As with any other device, Honor X6 will have its fair share of features and specifications that users are excited about. Another question that haunts tech experts and users is whether this new model will live up to the predecessor and its company’s name.

We all know how fickle natured the audience are and get dissatisfied easily if a smartphone’s, or any other gadget for that matter, features don’t live up to their expectations, which keep changing at the drop of a hat.

Although the official price of the model has not yet been specified by the company, the other details are now out in the open for public scrutiny as it is up to them to decide whether it is their money’s worth or not.

One of the biggest complaints that users constantly make is that the new device’s design is very similar to that of the previous model, especially when it has been launched within mere months of its predecessor.

This was seen during the launch of iPhone 14 series where many users, including Steve Jobs’ daughter, expressed their reservations regarding its design and argued that its model is almost indistinguishable from the iPhone 13 series.

OnePlus 10R Prime Blue Edition Launched on September 22

It has been a couple of months since OnePlus had launched its brand new OnePlus 10R around mid-2022 that received excellent reviews from users and tech experts alike, which has inspired the company to launch a brand new version of the smartphone model.

OnePlus 10R Prime Blue

OnePlus 10R Prime Blue is the name of the new smartphone that will be officially launched on September 22, 2022, although makers have made it clear that it will be similar in design to its predecessor and almost indistinguishable.

It will be available in two colour options viz. Sierra Black and Forest Green along with the regular features and specifications that one can expect from a huge brand like OnePlus where the makers have great hopes that it will receive rave reviews like its previous models.

Key Specifications

OnePlus 10R Prime Blue will be available in two storage variants- 8GB RAM + 128GB internal configuration and 12GB RAM + 256GB internal configuration along with a 150W fast charging support, which is more than the 80W support in the 10R model.

WhatsApp Comes with Brand New Feature- Caption Option

WhatsApp is arguably as well as inarguably the most popular messaging platform we have today and to maintain the top spot, it needs to keep upgrading itself at regular intervals with new features to cater to the ever changing taste of the fickled audience, which is similar to movies.

WhatsApp

In order to keep pace with the likes of Telegram and Signal, both of which come out with better privacy features to intensify competition, WhatsApp too has come out with a new feature where users can avail caption option while sharing files with others on the messenger platform.

While sending PDF images and documents to others, it becomes difficult for recipients to decipher what it could be as they don’t have names but only app-created codes but thanks to the caption feature, users have to simply remember a word in the caption and type on the top search bar to find old files and documents.

This would be quicker and easier for users to send documents to others where they don’t have to worry about the names or anything while the receivers too will know what is in the file/document they’ve received without issues.

Cost of Pixel likely to decrease as Google plans to manufacture it in India

0
Cost of Pixel

There are rumors that Google is planning to produce Pixel phones in India. The tech giant intends to relocate the manufacturing of its Pixel smartphones to the nation, according to The Information (via TechCrunch).

Source suggests that  Google has requested bids from manufacturers to assemble between 500,000 and 1 million Pixel smartphones, which represents 10–20% of the Pixel phone’s yearly manufacturing. However, the report has warned that Google hasn’t made up its mind on transferring some Pixel manufacturing to India.

Although there are rumors that Google is in contact with local manufacturers, nothing is official yet. Because of China’s COVID-19 lockout, the company has had difficulty procuring components; as a result, it is looking for additional production facilities to keep things running smoothly. Another explanation for the change could be geopolitical factors.

For the manufacture of the Pixel 4a and Pixel 5 smartphones, it had previously relocated to Vietnam; however, for the Pixel 6 smartphones, it returned to China. As of now, we’re not clear if all Pixel devices will be produced in India.

Sundar Pichai, the company’s chief executive officer, hinted to a plan to manufacture in India earlier this year, but no final decision has been taken, according to the article. For India’s manufacturing operations, Chinese components must still be imported, if allowed.

Vietnam is reportedly a potential third location for an Alphabet manufacturing site, according to Nikkei.

Which brands are already manufacturing their smartphones in India and did it affects the price?

A sneak peak into the features of Pixel 7

The Pixel 7 series’ colors and storage capacities have been made public as a result of a leak and some peculiar Google marketing. With a new Quick Phrase, Google Assistant may be able to assist users of the Pixel 7 in silencing calls.

Google has made some adjustments to the horizontal camera bar that was introduced with the Pixel 6. On the Pixel 7 Pro, there is a separate lens, which might be telephoto shooter; the primary camera and ultrawide camera are now grouped together.

The phone is only slightly more compact than the Pixel 6 according to the first hands-on footage of the Pixel 7. The Pixel 6 is 74.92mm wide, while the Pixel 7 is 73.2mm wide, according to the video.

Additionally, the Pixel 7 is 10g lighter than its predecessor, weighing in at 195g. The Pixel 7 Pro, on the other hand, has a more similar size and weighs nearly the same, differing by just one gram. It actually has a little more breadth, increasing from 75.89mm to 76.68mm.

The Pixel 7 is anticipated to be powered by a new in-house Tensor G2 chip, which will use the Cortex-A55 CPU cores that previously powered the original generation Tensor, according to Android developer Kuba Wojciechowski.

The Tensor G2 reportedly boasts slightly faster clock speeds and, when coupled with the 4nm production node, may improve multi-core performance by roughly 10% while maintaining single-core performance at first generation Tensor levels, suggested Wojciechowski.

In terms of graphics processing unit, the Tensor G2 has the Mali-G78, which may be 20% quicker and consume 20% less power than the GPU on the first-generation Tensor. Google may use an upgraded TPU with the codename “Janeiro,” which could aid the corporation in providing better AI experiences. Additionally, the Geekbench implies that the Pixel 7 Pro could sport 12GB of RAM.

Google pixel phones and their hype in India. Is price the only reason why Google Pixel phones are not performing in the market

In India, Google has been unable to establish a reputable brand for smartphones.

The issue isn’t that flagship handsets are expensive and India doesn’t have people who can afford them; rather, it’s that Google hasn’t really made an attempt to develop a brand image in India that can justify that price.

The premium pricing approach for flagships in India doesn’t appear to affect Apple or Samsung, as these companies have created a brand for themselves.

Since Google has not been very successful in past, thus it has the least to lose and the most to gain. Google has a potential to succeed in the Smartphone industry given the enormous influence they have had over the years and a committed following of customers. They only need to grab it.

Top Ten Facts About Smartphones

Smartphones are presently a necessity of the era as smartphones assist the world in carrying out many things. The multifunction phones were invented with a futuristic idea, and the idea succeeded in a short period.

But ever wondered about some fascinating facts about the gadget that is in your hands, if not then flip through this article as here we will be communicating some eye-catching facts that revolve around the most significant invention of the era: the Smartphone

1. More megapixels doesn’t assure a good camera

For years it was believed that a phone blessed with a high megapixels camera would click high-quality photos, but it’s not true. With a high-pixel camera, one can only zoom in on photos more precisely, but the overall quality of the image doesn’t only depend on the megapixels of the camera.

For a high-quality photo, a camera should have a quality lens, a larger sensor and a good image processor; only then a picture clicked from it will be considered a high-quality image. Next time when buying a smartphone, you should pay attention to these points.

Top Ten Facts About Smartphones

2.  A spaceship is less potent than a smartphone

Following surprising fact is that a smartphone has more computing potential than a space shuttle with only 1MB of RAM. Even in the past, an iPhone 4s had 512 MB of RAM, but the computing system of a space shuttle is generally considered competent, but still, the RAM and processor of the smartphone are faster than a space shuttle.

Also, the current specifications loaded in smartphones are more powerful than the computers NASA had in 1960; with the help of those potato PCs, NASA landed on the Moon.

3.  A smartphone without a SIM can be tracked easily

Many still believe that if the sim card is removed from a smartphone, no one can track the gadget, but it’s not true. Both Android and iOS mobile phones can be tracked even without a sim card inside them. Professionals have clarified that tracking a smartphone without a sim card is not a complicated process.

Sim Tracker

Professionals can track your mobile easily through many aspects like IP address, IMEI number and even with the help of mobile towers by getting to know your last location where the sim card was removed.

4. Iphone’s time is always 9:41 in Ads

Ever pointed out that the time of iPhone and iPad in ads, including TV ads, banners and much more, is always 9:41; the reason behind this is that when the first product of apple was launched, the time was 9:41 p.m. and the date was January 9, 2007, an official of the apple company revealed the secret.

Even he explained that every session of an Apple product is done in 40 minutes, and only then do they show the product and its blasting features. Since the beginning of Apple, the company has been showing the same time and date on each of its gadgets. Many people are unaware of this interesting fact.

5.  High specs don’t mean fast performance

For ages, it has been assumed that if a smartphone has high specs, it will deliver high performance; it is not true because, in a study, it was proved that a phone’s performance is not only determined by the specs that the company devotes but by supplementary factors too like the operating system, core performance and many other things.

Know Everything About BIOS Post Codes, a Tool That Aids You In Starting Your Computer

0
BIOS Post Codes

During the Power On Self Test, a 2-digit hexadecimal code known as a POST code is produced.

This code may be output to a POST test card that is inserted into a particular expansion slot before the BIOS has tested every component of the motherboard.

When a test component fails, the POST card can be used to view the most recent POST code generated to help identify which hardware failed the initial test.

Power On Self Test Code or test-point error code is two names for a POST code.

Working of POST

When a POST test card stops at a certain code during the boot process, it can be compared to the list of potential POST codes produced by your particular BIOS, which can assist identify the cause of the issue with your computer starting up.

You’ll need to consult the documents that comes with your computer’s list of BIOS POST codes for more guidance beyond this broad how-to if you want to understand what your card is saying precisely.

Also Read: GalaxyCard introduces virtual card for digital transaction

BIOS Post Codes

 

Some codes are passed to the test card after a particular test is finished, thus you should start troubleshooting with the next code on the list you’re referring to.

However, other motherboards only send a code to an associated POST test card when an error has really happened, indicating that the issue is likely with the hardware that the code corresponds to.

Therefore, once more, for information on how to understand what you’re seeing, contact the manufacturer of your computer, motherboard, or BIOS.

Consider the scenario if your motherboard supplier is ASRock. Then, if you’ve attached a POST test card since your machine won’t turn on and discovered the code to be 31-3B/51-55. Then this POST code in ASRock BIOS Post Codes denotes “Problem related to CPU and memory.”

If the POST code indicates that the previous test was unsuccessful, we are aware right away that the issue is with the system memory rather than the CMOS battery, video card, serial ports, CPU, etc.

Also Read: Microsoft launches Surface Laptop Go in India

If the POST code indicates that the most recent test failed, we are aware right away that the issue is not with the CMOS battery, video card, serial ports, etc., but rather with the system memory and CPU. You can now focus your troubleshooting on the items mentioned.

Searching for a BIOS Post Code List for Your Computer

BIOS Post Codes

It’s best to refer to the POST codes that are specific to your computer, which should be made available on your manufacturer’s official website, as they will vary depending on the BIOS vendor.

You might be able to get assistance from tech support, check the current BIOS version on your computer, or find the codes at a website like BIOS Central if you are having trouble locating a list of POST codes on your computer, motherboard, or BIOS vendor’s website.

However, POST codes are not specifically mentioned in modern motherboard manuals. The cause might be the same as that for beep codes: POST displays are getting harder to find as the industry shifts to more modern diagnostic techniques like LED light indicators.

Furthermore, as the internet and the support system have become more complex, a lot of the information that was earlier included with your motherboard manuals has now shifted to vendor websites.

Using Windows 10/11’s system information panel, a third-party programme like CPU-Z (Free), or the manual method of opening your PC case and looking for your BIOS chip, can help you determine the manufacturer of your motherboard’s BIOS.

On-screen Error Messages Alternative to POST Code

BIOS Post Codes

Although beep codes and POST codes are two of the best ways to identify a problematic PC, other troubleshooting techniques are much simpler to understand. The on-screen error message that appears just before the POST is finished is the simplest of all error mechanisms.

Using this diagnostic technique, you will not need to open the system to insert a POST card or count the beeps to figure out these codes. All types of PC users may easily understand the problems and issues that are made clear by the on-screen notification, such as “CMOS Battery Low.” These codes do, however, require some sort of reference, just like with anything else in computation.

Also Read: Noise is expected to launch ColorFitPro3 on February 10th

Furthermore, an on-screen error message usually indicates a less serious mistake than one that is notified with beep codes because the visual circuits are inspected after components like the motherboard, CPU, and BIOS. POST codes or beep codes will still be used to indicate more severe failures, such as CPU or memory failure.

Conclusion

POST codes are among the most precise and efficient techniques to identify hardware issues affecting your PC. They may show hundreds of distinct messages by mixing various numbers and alphabets, unlike BIOS beep codes, which are normally more confined to a dozen or so codes.

They however, require some dedicated hardware, such as an on-board display or POST card, that are not standard on all boards. This makes them comparatively uncommon in today’s PC environment.

However, if you experience a hardware issue that you are unable to resolve, we advise you to buy a POST card because it will almost certainly identify the problematic component.

Third-Person Playlist, New Weapons, Here Are The Top Changes That Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare Ii Will Have

0
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Many new features, such as a third-person playlist and a 3v3 Raid mode, have been revealed by Activision and Infinity Ward for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s multiplayer. This will enable “a new tactical way to play multiplayer,” according to Activision.

In reality, that probably means that you will be able to detect enemies approaching silently from behind you more easily, at the expense of quick and accurate shots.

For the most part, Call of Duty has been a first-person shooter franchise, but the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will change that. While the game will remain predominantly an FPS, Call of Duty fans will be able to play from a third-person perspective.

At the Call of Duty Next event, which also unveiled Call of Duty: Warzone 2, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile, the optional third-person mode for MW2 was revealed.

The third-person mode in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 does exactly what it says: it enables fans of the franchise to play multiplayer from a third-person viewpoint rather than the standard first-person view.

The third-person mode in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is a significant change, so it’s not surprising that Activision wants to test it out in the beta. There will be separate playlists for first-person and third-person perspectives in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer beta, which launches this weekend for PlayStation users with early access.

Players will be able to check out how the Call of Duty experience is altered by the third-person perspective. Activision may decide to abandon its separate third-person playlists in favour of having third-person available as a choice in all playlists based on the feedback it receives from the beta.

Call Of Duty

Players should be aware of some peculiar gameplay aspects in Call of Duty’s third-person modes. Players in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 can change which shoulder the camera is hanging over while the game is in third-person, and the perspective changes to first-person when aiming down sights.

Fans won’t have to wait long to learn how the community responds to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2’s third-person mode, as the beta is scheduled to begin on September 16 for PlayStation gamers who pre-order.

The new third-person mode will not be the only new feature available to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 players in the beta. Additionally, it will include a few of the brand-new match types that will be available when the game launches, including Prisoner Escape and Knockout.

Pre-ordering Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is recommended for PlayStation gamers who want to start playing right away. They’ll also gain early access to the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 campaign starting on October 20 if they do this.

Some other changes that will be featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 are

Numerous quality-of-life improvements that have a significant impact on your gameplay are also coming with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. Among them are water combat, close-quarters voice chat, realistic weapon movement, prominently displayed vehicles, and even bullet impact accuracy.

A huge number of new and upgraded weapons are also coming our way. While floating landmines are entirely new, thermal heat sensors are making a comeback. We anticipate seeing the full loadout soon since the game’s beta testing is only a few days away.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

“Large-scale hot zones” are being added to the two-player co-op mode Special Ops. While Infinity Ward has not yet provided any additional information, it is to be hoped that the mode will be expanded beyond what was offered in 2019’s Modern Warfare.

Ricochet anti-cheat technology will be present in Modern Warfare 2 at launch (as well as in Warzone 2.0), and the dolphin dive will also be present to ensure a more seamless transition between development teams. The majority of the time, it can be found in Treyarch games, giving players a quicker way to become prone while remaining a threat.

Speaking of threat, even without your boots on the ground, you are still a threat. With the vehicular gameplay in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, you can shoot at people outside while leaning out of a car or mantling on the roof. It should increase the importance of explosives and rockets.

The system for customising weapons, Gunsmith, has been enhanced to provide “unprecedented opportunities for customization.” Hopefully, this will prevent us from having to navigate through five different menus just to apply a silencer. The interface will also enable smoother switching between weapons.

For the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will be available on October 28. For PlayStation preorder holders, the first beta of the game begins on September 16.

The new iPhone 14 series of smartphones were launched at the ‘Far Out’ event held in California on September 7, 2022 along with other Apple devices and even though they’ve received mixed reviews, it doesn’t take away from the fact that they are still in demand.

Many people complained about the design being similar to the iPhone 13 series, which was echoed by Steve Jobs’ daughter via an Instagram story where she mocked the design through a veiled message.

However, as it generally happens with new devices, there are some limitations that users are quick to decipher within mere hours of using it and the same has happened with a couple of iPhone 14 smartphones.

Brief Summary

Many iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max users have complained that they’re facing camera issues of late with some claiming that the camera app takes a little while to open while others argue that their camera makes noises and constantly shakes due to which they’re unable to take pictures.

There are many complaints doing the rounds that while the shaking happens when the app appears in the background, things are fine when the camera is app is manually opened or closed.

Many iPhone 14 Pro users took to websites like Quora and Reddit to vent out their frustration against the camera apps where they expressed disappointment over Apple saying that such issues does not befit the devices manufactured by a tech giant like Apple.

iPhone 14 Pro Users

This problem was not seen in the native camera app of the company but the makers have promised users to look into the problem and fix it by next week and have reassured users to not worry about anything.

While the makers are doing their job by looking into the problem, users can do with a little patience themselves as they need to understand that such minor issues happen with all devices from massive tech giants and not allow their trust to waver over such trivial things.

WhatsApp’s Edit Message Feature Undergoes Testing; Details Inside

WhatsApp Edit Message
WhatsApp

There was a time when we were completely dependent on Short Message Service (SMS) for sending and receiving messages where it was impossible to gauge what the other person was feeling or the context in which he/she had sent the message, which was highly frustrating for many people.

Although older folks still miss the good old days of SMS due to the nostalgia factor, things changed for the better with the advent of WhatsApp where you could not only post messages but also share audio and video links as well.

WhatsApp

WhatsApp initially started out as a messaging service similar the SMS format but developed into something much bigger over the years and now, in 2022, it is one of the most popular messaging platforms across the globe despite receiving competition from Telegram and Signal, among others.

Brief Up

Whenever a feature like WhatsApp grows in popularity, it becomes more and more difficult to maintain the top spot due to which makers have to work doubly hard while testing its new features and improve the previous ones.

The most recent upgrade on WhatsApp was one where users would now be able to hide their online status and sort messages by date but the latest one to join the bandwagon is a feature where users will be allowed to edit messages that have already been sent to the recipient.

The edit feature is still in its testing phase so, as of now, it remains uncertain as to how it will work but if current reports are to be believed, the makers might add an ‘Edited’ option to the message that will inform the recipient that the sent message has been edited.

WhatsApp Edit Message

There are more rumours circulating that the messages can be edited only for a specific time period, which is a highly plausible scenario since the editing feature is still under development and therefore, unavailable for beta testers to try out.

For the unversed, WhatsApp had worked on this feature in May 2022 but abruptly abandoned the idea without explanation but has now started reworking on it all over again so one can hope that it will soon come out.

Users too are eagerly waiting for official word from WhatsApp regarding further information as to when this editing feature will be available for use as many of them want an alternative to somehow edit already sent messages but going by WhatsApp’s track record, it might be out sooner than expected.
