Twitter experiments with a unique tag to emphasise accounts with verified phone numbers

0
Twitter and Elon Musk

Aside from Elon Musk’s bot-baiting, Twitter has received numerous requests for changes to how it recognises accounts and what can be done to highlight which ones are more authentic than others. Engineer Jane Manchun Wong has developed a Twitter label that would let users know which accounts have verified phone numbers. She added that some users already have access to a test feature that displays view counts tweets for their own tweets under the heading “analytics.” She added that it’s not clear if this would only be visible to the author or everyone.

Linking an account to a number can demonstrate that it was created with greater care than the simplest macro. This number can also filter out which tweets appear most prominently or pass through the various levels of quality filters. The same phone number can be linked to up to ten different Twitter accounts, and programmers can tag automated accounts to indicate that not everything being posted is being done by a real person.

For “blue check” verification, accounts with a verified phone number or email address are already required. Then-CEO Jack Dorsey mentioned having users verify information about themselves when talking about plans to allow verification for everyone, which may have been similar to how services like Tinder and Airbnb use phone numbers as part of their account verification procedures.

When users are encouraged to link their phone numbers to their accounts and display the status, security of that information becomes a concern. On August 5th, Twitter provided details about an incident that gave an attacker access to 5.4 million account names associated with particular phone numbers and email addresses. The company claims that the privacy flaw was introduced in a June 2021 update but was not found by Twitter until January and was only discovered by Twitter after rumours about someone trying to sell the database began to spread in the media in July.

Twitter and Elon Musk

During the 2020 hack, attackers employed social engineering to gain access to Twitter’s internal tools, enabling them to tweet about Bitcoin from Jack Dorsey and Joe Biden’s accounts. An ex-employee who allegedly used his position to “access the email addresses, phone numbers and birth dates of users who were critical of the Saudi government” was found guilty of spying earlier this month. According to a different Bloomberg report, some contractors had spied on celebrity accounts using Twitter’s tools.

When Twitter agreed to a $150 million settlement in May for improperly using phone numbers and email addresses obtained for two-factor authentication in its ad targeting, the potential for data leakage was made clear.

It was clear that there was a risk of data leakage by improperly using email addresses and phone numbers obtained for two-factor authentication in its ad targeting. It’s unclear whether or when Twitter will widely implement the phone number tag, but it might be used to assess an account’s legitimacy.

YouTube is one of the most popular social media platforms we have today with billions of subscribers worldwide. However, while it has become a useful venture that youngsters can utilize to hone their talents and turn it into a source of income, there are many unscrupulous elements that use it to spread malice and indulge in bad practices.

There are many so called YouTubers that consider themselves as intellectuals with the intend of educating and making people aware of the situation in the country when, in reality, they’re nothing more than propagandists that have taken huge funding from nefarious sources to spread fake news and brainwash the gullible India population.

YouTube

Brief Up

Right from nuclear explosion in India to North Korea sending troops to sort out the Ayodhya Ram Mandir issue, there have been more than 100 such YouTube channels that have been banned by the Indian government that spread fake news about India and that too by monetizing fake news content.

YouTube

The government had no choice but leap into action to put a stop to this online menace by banning not just YouTube channels but also social media websites and accounts that were using logos and templates of popular news channels in order to mislead gullible viewers into believing that they were getting info from authentic sources.

Due to monetizing fake news, these devious agenda-driven channels were earning massive revenue via advertisements as they had millions of subscribers that were clicking on their video to watch it, including the advertisements thereby generating the necessary revenue.

This has been going on since the past few years with the latest one coming in the first week of August when the Information & Broadcasting Ministry (I&B) banned around ten YouTube channels, including three based in Pakistan that were propagating things like ‘ban on Bakra-eid celebrations in India’, purported attacks on mosques and Rohingya colonies, and many others.

‘Cover Point’, another YouTube channel claimed that India has lost a nuclear war to Pakistan, which has sealed the victory for Pakistan and ISI, which is the intelligence agency of Pakistan, Inter-Services Intelligence.

In December 2021, around 20 YouTube channels faced suspension for trying to incite Muslims into violence against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) by claiming that Muslims are being imprisoned in detention camps and will be deported out of India upon revoking their citizenship.

Everything you need to know about Intel Raptor Lake (13th generation)

Intel Raptor Lake (13th generation)

The 13th Gen Raptor Lake desktop CPUs from Intel are expected to be released soon, and we already know some information about them before it becomes official. According to the most recent leak, the new CPUs will have significant functional upgrades. c

Leaked Specifications for Intel’s 13th Generation CPUs

The 13th Gen S and K-collection processors from Intel will support 65W and 125W TDP, respectively, according to each impression posted on the Chinese social media platform BiliBili. Additionally, they will have a higher cache than Intel 12th Gen CPUs, up to 36MB.

Versions with the Core i3, Core i5, and Main i7 and Core i9 processors will be available. There won’t be many changes to the base Core i3 lineup, but there will be enhancements to the other lineups.

For instance, the 13th generation Intel Core i9 processors are expected to support 24 cores (8 performance and 16 performance cores), while the Core i7 processors may get 16 cores (8P+8E) and the Core i5 CPUs are expected to have 14 cores (6P+8E).

The 13th generation Intel processor names are also disclosed in the leaked table. The i9-13900, i9-13900F, i9-13900K, and i9-13900KF will all be included in the Core i9 family. The main i7 line-up might include the i7-13700, i7-13700F, i7-13700K, and i7-13700KF. The Core i3 is anticipated to include processors like the i3-13100, while the Main i5 collection may include the i5-13600K, i5-13600KF, i5-13600, and i5-13500.

Intel Raptor Lake (13th generation)

Price estimation of Intel Raptor Lake (13th generation)

Although the price of the current-generation Rocket Lake gives us an idea of what to expect to pay for desktop chips, it is unclear how much Raptor Lake desktop CPUs will cost.

If Intel releases Raptor Lake chips for laptops as well, they will be built into the laptops and not be available for purchase separately. In that case, the manufacturer, as well as the design and other specifications, will affect the price you pay. Although it is impossible to estimate their price, the widespread distribution of Alder Lake chips suggests there will be a wide range of options.

Other information, however, is still lacking, in addition to the increased clock speeds. We must wait for official information to obtain a better strategy because the aforementioned is a leak. The 13th Gen CPUs from Intel are expected to be announced soon, possibly in October. We’ll keep you informed if anything happens. So, keep an eye out.

Here are our current recommendations for the best smartphones under Rs. 30,000.

Realme GT 5G

The Realme GT isn’t a top-end killer, but it is an excellent all-arounder. The Realme GT, which starts at Rs 37,999, lacks features such as an IP rating and wireless charging but still proves to be a good all-rounder.

It is aimed at young people who want a no-frills performance-oriented smartphone, and its top variant is only available in Racing Yellow vegan leather. It has a Super AMOLED display with a high refresh rate that gamers will appreciate. This phone has a top-of-the-line Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor and plenty of RAM, so it can handle even the most demanding games. The cameras also perform admirably in terms of still photography and video recording.

Its processor has been upgraded to a Dimensity 1300 SoC, which slightly boosts performance. The display remains unchanged, with a refresh rate of 90Hz.

OxygenOS 12.1 runs on top of Android 12. It comes with very little bloatware and only one third-party app. Software performance is smooth and everything feels fluid thanks to the 90Hz display.

Gaming performance is also quite good. Unlike the original Nord, the phone still lacks a macro camera, but the primary camera can capture decent close-up images. The low-light performance is excellent. The battery capacity remains unchanged, but charging power has been increased to 80W by OnePlus.

The Oppo Reno 7’s new design is appealing. The phone’s rounded frame and curved edges give it a sleek appearance. The Reno 7 also has the same laser-etched pattern on the back as the Reno 7 Pro, which looks good and repels fingerprints. The 6.4-inch AMOLED display is the same as on the previous phone. It has a full-HD+ resolution, and a refresh rate of 90Hz, and is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5.

Oppo phone has not updated the Reno 7’s SoC, which remains the MediaTek Dimensity 900 with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The Oppo Reno 7 uses the same software as the 7 Pro. On a daily basis, the Oppo Reno 7 has performed admirably. The SoC can easily handle typical productivity and social apps. Battery life appears to have been affected by the increase in battery capacity to 4,500mAh (from 4,300mAh).

It’s a good phone overall, with no major flaws, but there are better feature-packed options available online that offer a lot more bang for your buck.

Samsung Galaxy A52s 5G

Top ten best smartphones for gaming under 30,000 in 2022

The Samsung Galaxy A52s is an affordable high-quality mid-range smartphone. This makes it difficult to sell to both premium smartphone buyers and those looking for a solid mid-range smartphone.

Because it has a faster display, a new and updated processor with better overall performance, and 5G, the Galaxy A52s is positioned higher than the Galaxy A52.

While its design is identical to that of the Galaxy A52, it retains the IP67 rating, which appears to be its only competitive advantage. The improved 120Hz display keeps up with the competition, with deep blacks and stereo speakers that deliver loud and clear sound.

The camera’s performance in daylight is quite good, but low-light photos and videos leave much to be desired. Even though some competing smartphones cost much less, the battery life and charging speed are quite good.

The Nord 2 receives OxygenOS, as do other OnePlus smartphones, and runs on top of Android 11. In addition, you will receive two years of software updates and three years of security updates. The Nord 2 is a capable performer that can handle demanding tasks and apps with ease. The 4500mAh battery can power the device for about a day and a half. Charging is lightning fast, and the phone can be recharged from a dead battery in 32 minutes.

The Nord 2’s camera performance is good for the price. Photos shot in natural light are excellent, but those taken with the ultra-wide angle camera are not. The Nord 2 excels at close-ups and portrait shots. The phone’s low-light camera performance was also good, and with Nightscape mode, it can take better low-light photos. Overall, the OnePlus Nord 2 is a good choice for those on a tight budget.

You get a large 6.67-inch AMOLED display with a refresh rate of 120Hz. It supports HDR10+ and has a touch sampling rate of 480Hz in-game turbo mode. Poco has chosen the Dimensity 1200 SoC to power the F3 GT, along with 6GB and 8GB of RAM. This device has storage options of 128GB and 256GB.

Poco managed to cram in a 5,065mAh battery and a 67W fast charger in the box. The phone can last more than a day and a half on a single charge and perform admirably in our HD video loop test. The included charger charged the huge battery quickly as well.

The Poco F3 GT features three cameras: a 64-megapixel primary camera, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide angle camera, and a 2-megapixel macro camera. The smartphone performed well in both daylight and lowlight conditions. The macro camera captured good details despite having a lower resolution.

Overall, the Poco F3 GT is a gaming-oriented smartphone with excellent performance for the price. However, it isn’t a great all-arounder and could use some camera improvements.

Top ten best smartphones for gaming under 30,000 in 2022

Realme released the new X7 Max 5G, which has a significantly more powerful SoC but a lower starting price than the X7 Pro 5G. The Dimensity 1200 SoC is ideal for both gaming and basic productivity. A 4500mAh battery and 50W fast charging are included, with a 65W charger unit included in the retail box. The battery life is excellent, and you should be able to go for several days on a single charge. The 6.43-inch Super AMOLED screen is bright and clear, but it isn’t the best we’ve seen. Stereo speakers improve the experience of playing video games and watching movies. Realme UI’s default apps do display some annoying notifications, but there are also many features.

Oppo Reno 6

Top ten best smartphones for gaming under 30,000 in 2022

The Oppo Reno 6 shares several features with the Pro model, including the camera app’s Bokeh Flare Portrait effect, 65W quick charging, and a high refresh rate AMOLED display. The design is strongly reminiscent of the iPhone 12, but it appears to work in its favor. The 6.42-inch AMOLED display looks great. It has a full-HD+ resolution, Corning Gorilla Glass 5, a refresh rate of 90Hz, and a claimed peak brightness rating of up to 700nits.

This is the first phone in India to utilize the MediaTek Dimensity 900 SoC, which is powerful enough to tackle daily duties and games at full-HD+ quality, according to Oppo. The 4,300mAh battery capacity may not seem particularly impressive, but in daily use, I was easily averaging more than a full day on a single charge. The Oppo Reno 6 lacks the Reno 6 Pro’s rear depth camera, but otherwise has the same set of sensors on the front and back.

Mi 11X

Top ten best smartphones for gaming under 30,000 in 2022

The Xiaomi Mi 11X offers the very powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 SoC at a surprisingly low price, with camera quality as a tradeoff. While this phone is great for gaming and entertainment, it takes average photos and videos during the day and performs poorly in low light. You get a large, bright, and vibrant 6.67-inch 120Hz full-HD+ display as well as a battery that will easily last you all day. Premium features include Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and back, an IP53 rating, and stereo speakers. The Mi 11X comes with 6GB or 8GB of RAM, however, storage is limited to 128GB. Games run smoothly, and videos look fantastic on the screen.
