Social media has become a perennial part of our existence and it is virtually impossible to exist without it in current times. The likes of twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and so many others are something we’ve all become accustomed to in the past decade and a half and continue to rely on with the passage of time.

There was a time when these platforms were seen as mere modes of entertainment and nothing more but over the years have turned into lucrative career prospects for the millennial generation who have taken to it like fish to water and amassed immense wealth and fortune.

While on one side the online platforms have become a career changing prospect for many ambitious individuals by giving them an opportunity to prove their worth, on the other side, these platforms have turned into a breeding ground for unscrupulous elements with devious agendas intended to cause harm to others.

Brief Summary

Every human being is born with a psyche that influences his mindset and way of thinking in many ways. They make use of social media for no other reason than to vent out their ire on the world and what better place than the platforms to let out their bottled emotions.

You will find innumerable people on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and other platforms that constantly criticize or spew venom on other people on social media just for the sake of imposing their views and opinions on others.

Meta

They constantly look for the official handles of influential people or videos on YouTube to add their two cents where it isn’t need it. It was ok if they just expressed their criticism in a civilized and constructive manner but when they resort vitriol and abuse, it creates an unpleasant atmosphere.

It is due to these extremists many people, right from celebrities to common men, don’t have social media platforms and prefer to stay away from such an unpleasant atmosphere because there is plenty of that in the real world and the fact that the virtual world too has become replete with such elements is way too much.

This is why tech giants like Meta & YouTube have taken it upon themselves to fight online extremism by expanding research and policies where they plan to remove violent content and promote media literacy, civility, and positive minded people on these platforms as was discussed at a White House Summit to fight online extremism.

Critics have accused Meta, YouTube, Twitter, and other such platforms for allowing hate speech to prosper and flourish, violence, fake news, phony rhetoric, etc. on their websites that they want to be stopped.

YouTube has immediately sprung into action by promising to remove hate filled content that promotes, glorifies, or even justifies, violence, because such things were limited to channels that were linked to terrorist organizations but now strict measures will be applied to even ordinary platforms that promotes hate and violence.

The platform is planning to launch a media literacy campaign where they will tutor youngsters on tackling manipulation tactics that spread misinformation to create an atmosphere of panic and terror.

Meta too has promised to take strict action by partnering with Middlebury Institute of International Studies’ Center on Terrorism, Extremism, and Counterterrorism, to tackle such a serious issue.

Conclusion

While the likes of Meta & YouTube have taken it upon themselves to fight online extremism, it remains to be seen as to how their efforts will come to fruition, if at all, but one must not lose hope as they can be trusted to come out with a solution.

Rainbow Six Mobile

When it comes to best games of the past decade, the list is very long and one might be spoilt for choice based on how preferences keep changing at the drop of a hat.

It goes without saying that to satisfy gaming aficionados is a hard boiled task but once they get hooked to something they like, they never let go of it after that.

Rainbow Six Siege is one such game that falls in the category of the best ones to have come out in the past decade with millions of players that tune into the 5v5 tactical shooter, which has quickly become a firm favourite of many game lovers over the past years and continues to grow in popularity.

Rainbow Six Mobile

In Brief

While real life hunting is far different from hunting in a game, the latter is far more entertaining in that you don’t harm an innocent animal for your sporting pleasure. However, the main problem was that the venture was limited to PCs and console platforms.

As a result, mobile owners were not allowed the privilege to try this venture out for themselves but now things have changed for the better all thanks to Rainbow Six Mobile, which is a port that mostly adheres to Siege mechanics.

As a result, mobile owners were not allowed the privilege to try this venture out for themselves but now things have changed for the better all thanks to Rainbow Six Mobile, which is a port that mostly adheres to Siege mechanics.

The port is undergoing beta test behind closed doors due to which many gamers want to test the title for themselves. However, while people with an affinity for mobile games may navigate Rainbow Six Mobile with ease, the same cannot be said about someone completely new to the magical world of games.

Fortunately, anyone who is new to the game and wants to give it a try is in luck as there are couple of tips and tricks through which they can easily learn Rainbow Six Mobile as long as they are focused on learning everything in a patient manner without giving up on it after initial failures.

Tips and Tricks

The first step is to obviously go through the basics where you have to learn about the venture, its story, characters, methods, and processes, among others because there is a tutorial that pops up during the first boot that is relevant although it is difficult to understand everything in one go.

The training mode is easy to learn where you have to tap ‘Play, then ‘Playlist, and ‘Training’ to get started with the bomb training and moving on to the shooting range on Siege PC where you can test weapons, recoil control, and enhance your abilities while playing.

The story takes place in a land that has an enormous area that requires a number of maps to go through, which include Border, Clubhouse, and Bank, among others, with their own pathways designed in such a way that is easily identifiable to the players.

You need to know where you are standing because the environment surrounding you is dangerous be it the floors or walls as bullets and other weapons are constantly passing through them on a regular basis.

Then you have to create your own strategies like a defending style, which consist of two in this game called Roamer and Anchor where the former is a player that goes around the map during the defending phase while the latter has a player who stands guard to protect the site from enemies.

An easy way to get an early lead is to start pre-firing in the game before any enemy is in sight because there is a high probability that it will strike the enemy as the players are blasting left, right, and centre.

Uber Hacked Due to Cybersecurity Breach; Investigations On

Uber

There are several advantages of disadvantages of social media and other online platforms where on one side, many people are totally dependent upon it for reducing manual labour and easing their burdens, others criticize it for the physical and mental exertion it puts on the users.

uber hacked

Another major issue for anything connected to the internet is that it is vulnerable to hackers and cyber criminals that are constantly prowling in the dark alleys of the virtual world lying in wait in the form of fake accounts, to look for unsuspecting, gullible victims to put them in a compromising position and then blackmailing them.

Then there are those cyber experts who misuse their talent and skills in the field by breaching into the data privacy of other online websites or devices so that they can use it to their advantage.

Brief Summary

Uber is one of the best service providers, along with OLA, through which passengers can book a car and driver to transport them from one place to another. It is similar to a taxi service but this one is an online application where you can book cabs online and the nearest one in the vicinity will be immediately available at your service.

It has made travelling much easier for many folks who were not comfortable with Metros, Auto Rickshaws, or even driving, as they dp not want to stand in line due to heavy traffic for hours and this online service has made things much easier for them in more ways than one.

Just a few days back, Uber Technologies Inc. had to shut down many of its internal communications due to a massive cybersecurity breach where confidential data and information was under the grave risk of being hacked, which led to the company taking such drastic measures to protect its data.

The company has even contacted the law enforcement to look into the matter, which immediately leapt into action to prevent any mishap from taking place. As of now, it is uncertain as to whether ride-hailing or food delivery services are at risk due to the hacking as no details have been revealed on the matter.

Uber Technologies Inc. owners were in for the shock of their lives when they received an anonymous message on Slack that claimed that he/she had hacked into its databases, by claiming that two unidentified employees had helped them, where the perpetrator had compromised the Slack account of a staff member to send the message.

This is not the first time that Uber has fallen victim to hackers because in October 2016, the company was subjected to a massive cybersecurity breach where confidential data of nearly 60 million drivers and customers was made public, which led to a large amount of pandemonium and hullabaloo.

Uber hacked

Conclusion

As mentioned above, Uber has taken the help of the law enforcement, which is looking into the matter and expose the hacker, who has claimed to be an 18-year-old, and has exposed confidential info regarding the company that it ‘underpays its drivers’ and was able to hack into the database due to ‘weak security’.

On the one hand, consumer expectations are changing, backed by the accelerated rate of technological advancements, and on the other, the market is open to everyone, including our competitors”. In Conversation with Divya Mohindroo.

When we look into Infinix’s journey, it seems like an exciting brand that quickly made its way into the Indian markets. So we are very eager to know what “Infinix’s” brand story is and what values it provides to its customers.

India is a very dense, sensitive and price-conscious market, so being in a sector with such cut-throat competition, please tell us why Infinix stands out in such a crowded segment and how tough it is to maintain your position to grow and flourish.

I totally agree with you. India is indeed a very cost-sensitive market and we see a plethora of smartphones in this segment with low prices being offered by numerous brands. We are distinguished by the quality of our products at reasonable prices.

When consumers purchase a smartphone with advanced RAM, massive storage, heavy-duty battery, and the largest screen in the segment at a budget-friendly price, they find no reason to select another brand. In addition to regular product updates, we keep consumers up-to-date with new technologies and give them an edge over other smartphones.

As a customer-centric brand, we understand consumers’ needs and launch our product line accordingly. With consumers at the heart of every product, we have gained their trust in our brand and products alike.

Also Read: We look at the price value equation over the lifetime of device

In order to offer new and upgraded services, we regularly launch new products, as per consumer demand and market scenario. This way we are giving intense competition to other players in the market.

Anish Kapoor CEO infinix India

We have also taken significant steps in building positive brand equity by collaborating with Marvel studios for the Dr Strange movie, Roadies, and organizing national e-sports competitions for the gaming community in India.

These collaborations have helped us successfully position ourselves as a young brand and synchronize well with the young population of the country.

So we would love to know a ‘CEO’s’ point of view regarding the latest trends and public demands.

Over the past two years, the COVID-19 pandemic-led social distance has prioritized brands to focus on driving smartphone and laptop innovations to meet rising consumer demand. With an increase in OTT consumption and remote work & study, people wanted their gadgets to adapt to their preferences.

Also Read: We are a one-stop solution for any scale of documentation

We saw a massive surge in demand for affordable premium phones with high-end features like 5G, better cameras, contemporary ergonomics, slimmer designs, etc. As the gaming population is also increasing rapidly, customers are looking for power-packed, big-screen smartphones with high-refresh-rate for a smooth gaming experience.

In terms of the laptop segment, new-age consumers are open to experimenting with the vast options available in the market, without compromising on the premium experience. As the pandemic gained wide exposure to the student community, they are increasingly seeking a personal laptop for school assignments and content consumption beyond traditional web browsing. This led to the exponential growth of the PC market in the last two years.

How is Infinix planning its way in terms of products? We are also interested to know if Infinix will enter a new segment?

The growing need and demand for high-performing smartphones, Smart TVs, and Laptops motivated us to expand our horizons and enhance our expertise to offer best-in-class entertainment units to our customers.

In the past 8 to 9 months, we have unveiled multiple products under each category, giving our consumers a plate full of options as per their requirements. Whether it is our first 5G smartphone with the maximum of 5G brands or our most affordable laptop with a sleek metal body under 25K, we have considered all consumer segments.

Anish Kapoor CEO infinix India

How has been your market experience so far in India, in terms of high competition, market penetration, and local business conditions?

When we entered the market, it was still booming and consumers were looking for a distinct segment of smartphones. Over a period, with our innovative products and a successful combination of specifications, we have built a strong consumer base in India.

This has helped us stand out in the highly competitive budget smartphone market. Today, Infinix is one of the highest-rated brands with an average of 4.2-star rating on Flipkart and 10lacs+ customer rating.

To cater to the growing demand in the offline segment, we have recently started offline distribution in the state of Rajasthan and we are entering the Jammu & Kashmir and Himachal Pradesh markets.

Our experience so far has been positive, and we are looking forward to expanding into more regional markets this year.

What is the biggest competition that you face being a new company?

Infinix has fostered the ambition of delivering cutting-edge technology through our vast product portfolio and focusing on exceptional consumer experience. Every Infinix product is built from the ground up with next-level technology & cutting-edge design at its core.

For us, the major challenge is the nature of the market itself – it is highly dynamic and competitive. On the one hand, consumer expectations are changing, backed by the accelerated rate of technological advancements, and on the other, the market is open to everyone, including our competitors.

Hence, creating brand value and tapping more & more consumer segments continues to be a learning curve for us.

As a CEO, how important and valuable you think, customer reviews are, and how do you handle these reviews specially the harsh ones?

Anish Kapoor CEO infinix India

Being a consumer first company, we function as per consumers’ demands and the success of any brand or product is directly proportional to customer experience. All our products go through rigorous testing procedures before reaching to our end consumers.

iOS 16 Battery Percentage: Enabling Process

Battery percentage in iOS 16
Battery percentage in iOS 16

When it comes to smartphones, there are many things that determine the worthiness of the model like its brand value, price, features, specifications, and other things but one crucial thing whose importance many people overlook in a smartphone is its operating system.

Battery percentage in iOS 16

It becomes difficult to choose a handset just based on its features as many people are more interested in its price tag to make sure that they are able to afford it before considering to buy it.

Then there is the design of the device where many people want it to be different than its predecessors due to which they outright reject the new model simply because its design is similar to previous models, as happened with iPhone 14 series, which was mocked by Steve Jobs’ daughter for having the same design as iPhone 13 series.

In Brief

The new iOS 16 operating system too has been launched in the iPhone series with all the necessary features but what is new this time is that it comes with a unique function that many users are fond of, which is the battery percentage indicator.

With this function, you can see how much battery is left in your handset by activating the battery percentage if you’re iOS 16 is functioning properly in your smartphone but first you need to know how to enable this feature.

It always happens that many people don’t bother learning about certain functions of a new feature as they don’t deem it necessary, which is sad because they miss out on crucial information on how these features operate.

With the help of the following points, they will learn the steps of the enabling feature and be thankful that they were able to gain this information and, therefore, will think twice before squandering their battery power in the future.

For turning on the battery percentage in iOS 16, you need to go to ‘Settings’ and tap on ‘Battery’ following which you will see an option above the low power mode labelled ‘Battery Percentage’ that you need to turn on and see the percentage available in your device in the top right corner inside the icon.

If the battery power is below 20%, then the icon turns red and, upon enabling the low power mode, turns yellow. Unfortunately, this feature is not available in all iPhone models because Apple has not provided any information as to why it is so.

One can only speculate as to why these models don’t have the battery percentage indicator, which is touted to be due to the small size of the iPhone minis as people would not be able to see the battery percentage clearly.

Conclusion

As of now, users that own an iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12 Mini, and iPhone 13 mini, can utilize a battery widget that shows the battery percentage on their home screens and locks as an alternative until a solution is worked out by Apple.

Given Apple’s track record, it can be theorized that the company will come up with a solution for the issue so that the faith of their users does not waver and harm their reputation.

Instagram Issue; How to Archive Its Chats

How to Archive Chats
Instagram

Instagram is probably the most popular social media platform we have today and it can be safely said that it has surpassed Facebook by a wide margin to become the number one platform where you can post pictures, videos, live calls, and many others.

How to Archive Chats
Instagram

We are totally surrounded by so many platforms and each has its own relevance but Instagram has surpassed many expectations in a much bigger way than Facebook but this isn’t about a comparison between the two.

There are so many features in Instagram that is impossible to cover up in a single article where people still cherish all the posts, images, live chats, video calls, and many other things on the platform, which is why they are careful to save it lest they are lost.

It is the proverbial place to make online friends whom we don’t even know exist prior to this but one needs to be careful so as to not fall prey to fake accounts that abound throughout social media to con gullible victims.

There is a way through which you can save your instagram messages in the archives so that you can read them anywhere, anytime you want. Instagram Direct Messenger is an excellent tool through which other instagram accounts can be contacted directly.

All said and done, the platform has to completely upgrade a few of its features because it doesn’t have an archive chat but there are ways through which you can use archive chats without the need to download the application where you can utilize the vanish mode on Instagram or switch from personal to professional account and vice versa.

The first step is to change the personal account into a professional one that is on the top right of the screen where you have to click on the ‘Settings’ option and write ‘switch to professional account’.

You can also check the archived messages by going to the chat page, which can be found in the archive but since there isn’t an option to view it, you need to get a professional account to make the chats visible again.

Debunking the Trailer of Werewolf By Night

0
Werewolf By Night

The president of Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige, took the stage on Saturday during a major panel at the 2022 D23 Fan Expo in Anaheim, California to make many brand-new announcements as the MCU continues to explore the Multiverse.

During the event, Feige officially confirmed that “Werewolf By Night: A Marvel Studios Special Presentation” will be the name of the MCU’s Halloween special.

Gael Garca Bernal and Laura Donnelly joined director Michael Giacchino and producer Kevin Feige on stage to give fans new information and the first trailer for the upcoming special. Feige described the special as “fun-scary” and said it would begin streaming on Disney+ on October 7.

The official confirmation of the existence of the Werewolf by Night special for Disney+ comes after months of rumours, leaks, and news on the project. With this special movie, composer Michael Giacchino will make his directing debut in a feature film.

Despite having experience directing short films, this will be Giacchino’s first feature film that he is making with Marvel Studios. This movie is believed to feature not only the titular lycanthrope but also other horror-focused Marvel characters like Elsa Bloodstone and Man-Thing.

In the next special, Gael Garca Bernal (Old, Coco) will play the lead werewolf, a version of the character who utilizes music to control his transformations. He will be joined by Laura Donnelly, who will play Elsa Bloodstone in the Marvel Studios production.

As one of Marvel’s most well-known monster hunters, Elsa Bloodstone will surely encounter the movie’s titular werewolf.

“I’ve been having a blast. It’s an incredibly challenging process. I love it,” Giacchino said in an interview with The Cosmic Circus. He further said, “Everyday, I’ve been having fun working on it and we’re int he middle of it.

Hopefully, very soon we’ll share a lot more about it. Yeah. There’s not much I can’t say other than I’m having a good time and I am working on something that I love. So, that’s a win-win right there.”

Werewolf By Night

In the special’s brief (1 minute, 26 seconds) trailer, Marvel Studios has attempted to produce the old-school grindhouse horror film. The entire trailer is in black and white graphics, giving it a vintage look reminiscent of the ’50s and ’60s horror films.

It appears that the special will focus on a secret society that specialises in hunting supernatural creatures. As Verusa, their leader, Harriet Sansom Harris co-stars and gives a performance that manages to be both campy and scary simultaneously.

A mystery lady who gets a bit too close to Bernal’s werewolf is played by Laura Donnelly, HBO’s The Nevers star. We never get a good look at Jack in his changed state in the teaser.

There are, however, a few more interesting oddities that you’ll miss with a blink. This includes the cameo from a character who remarkably resembles Man-Thing at the 1:05 mark.

The Time Variance Authority Minutemen, who made their debut in Loki on Disney+ last year, appear in the trailer too. They haven’t been mentioned before, but now, they seem to be deeply involved in a conflict with other deadly creatures.

In the movie’s first official poster, Gael Garca Bernal portrays Jack Russell and his werewolf alter ego. The poster was released by Marvel along with the new trailer of Werewolf by Night.

There have been two different Marvel characters who are known by the name “Werewolf by Night.” The first one was Jack Russell, a shapeshifting half-human creature descended from the Lycanthropes who could change at will even without a full moon. This character was created by Gerry Conway, Mike Ploog, Roy Thomas, and Jeanie Thomas.

Jake Gomez, a Native American whose tribe had been cursed with lycanthropy, was the second person. Taboo, Scot Eaton, and Benjamin Jackendoff developed the Gomez character. Jack Russell will officially act as the main character of the Disney+ programme.

There are currently few details regarding what Jack Russell and the cast of this special will be doing or how it will fit into the bigger MCU. However, one thing is confirmed, Marvel has something unique in store.

This is clearly visible with the practical effects from the footage shining in this trailer and the classic horror vibes which are fully displayed.

The Werewolf by Night special will set a new theme for The Marvel Cinematic. Originally consisting of feature films, the MCU has expanded to now include live-action serialized TV series and animated programs.

However, with the streaming of Werewolf by Night, the MCU will officially enter the Halloween special content, such as characters like Charlie Brown and Garfield.

The best part of it all is that this special will air on Disney+ in less than a month, right before She-Hulk: Attorney at Law wraps off its run. Werewolf by Night seems to have a bright future in the supernatural side of the MCU’s adventures because the MCU is actually diversifying into a different storytelling format than it has ever before.
