Flipkart is one of the biggest e-commerce portals in India where millions of people place online orders for something or the other with the latest being iPhone 13 smartphones. But, the portal witnessed the cancellation of a couple of these models.

In Brief

Many users had cancelled their orders for purchasing iPhone 13 within mere hours of booking them, which baffled many people working in the company. Quite a few users vented out their frustrations on Twitter for not receiving their orders on time and hence, decided to cancel them.

However, Flipkart was quick to clarify was some of the cancellations were, in their words, due to anomalies. But some users also complained that their refunds were taking longer than usual on orders placed on Flipkart’s ongoing Big Billion Days Sale event.

The matter is being worked out as Flipkart might soon issue a statement and apology to their customers for the situation whilst the online orders during festive sales continue to grow with each passing day.

WhatsApp Rolls Out Call Links, Group Video Call

You’ve got to hand it to Mark Zuckerberg for giving us Facebook and other platforms to cherish for a lifetime. There was a time when these platforms were seen as mere entertainment tools for spending leisure time but now have evolved into lucrative careers for many people.

WhatsApp Call Links

WhatsApp is, today, the most popular messaging application we have and the credit goes to Meta, its owner, for rolling out new features to keep it relevant for more than a decade with the latest feature being Call Links.

It is through Call links that that will make group video calls easier where you just need to tap the instrument once for starting and joining a call. The group video calls are currently in testing phase to make sure they’re secure and encrypted whilst the process is being tested with 32 people.

It becomes difficult to answer group calls as they begin but the new ‘Joinable Calls’ feature will reduce the burden of answering to many people at a time by bringing in more spontaneity and ease of conversation in-person to WhatsApp Group calling.

Apple Watch Ultra Durability Test; YouTuber Shows His Skills

Apple Watch Ultra was launched at the ‘Far Out’ event on September 7, 2022, along with the iPhone 14 series of smartphones with much fanfare where many people got to witness the brand new devices for the first time.

Apple Watch Ultra

However, Apple emphasized on the structural durability of the new smartwatch by revealing that it has a titanium case and flat display glass with sapphire crystal coating, which is for rigidity and scratch resistance.

Even the best brands have to undergo scrutiny from tech experts or even common users with an affinity for gadgets, both of whom expect nothing less than perfection, especially from a tech giant like Apple.

Therefore, popular YouTuber, TechRax, decided to conduct a hammer test on Apple Watch Ultra so as to check whether the company’s claims on their newly launched device was true or not.

TechRax tested the device in a procedural way by conducting 2 different tests out of which the first was by dropping the watch from a 4m height, which did it no harm as there were no visible dents or marks on the casing or sapphire crystal glass.

Next, he placed the smartwatch in a box of nails and thumb tacks, following which he shook it vigorously. Upon opening, he found that the watch had no scratches and was completely unharmed.

Best 5G Phones With Snapdragon 8 Gen 1

One of the most crucial aspects of a fantastic smartphone experience is the device’s performance, and a flagship CPU guarantees the most satisfactory performance and dependability.

These chipsets are used in the most recent flagship devices and are among the top Android options in 2022. As such, I’ve compiled a list of the top smartphones powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor.

Do You Really Need A Phone With Snapdragon 8 Gen 1?

After upgrading to the newest flagship chipset, most consumers will only notice a little difference in their smartphone experience.

OpenAI DALL-E Image Generator; Human Face Editing Made Easy

OpenAI's DALL-E Image
OpenAI's DALL-E Image

Face is mirror of your soul is what experts have said and indeed, it has proven to be true on many occasions, if not all. Anyone can guess what is going on in your mind or in your heart by looking at your face but there are many people that are experts in hiding their true personality with their acting skills for which having an expressive face is important.

There are many folks that are obsessed with their face and looking good for which they are willing to go to any extent and spend any moment as long as they get the fruits of their investment.

Nowadays there are many ways to enhance your features via Botox, Facial, many other surgeries that one can think of. The sheer number of celebrities that are willing to go under the knife, despite potentially disastrous consequences, for getting stunning facial features is quite huge.

Brief Summary

Nowadays, people rely on Artificial Intelligence (AI) generators for editing their faces online, which is considered a foolproof way to alter the images completely according to the individual.

AI image generators are becoming more and more popular since the past few years with many examples that have outperformed their counterparts in terms of editing capabilities like OpenAI DALL-E.

DALL-E was once considered a privacy hazard but has slowly overcome the matter and evolved into a proverbial tool for editing human faces, which has been officially stamped on OpenAI where images can be altered easily.

The mere prospect of editing images with faces is not something that is practiced very often but OpenAI, via DALL-E, wants to provide users the liberty to edit pictures as they feel like due to the immense demand for such things for many years.

Many people constantly complain about the background scenes, outfits, and other problems in their images that they feel spoils their picture altogether, which is why OpenAI decided to sort out this issue once and for all.

With the help of DALL-E, which was launched in January 2021, users can now change outfits, edit background scenes, and other things but due to the immense risk of AI being misused by unscrupulous elements, the feature has been kept in limits so as to prevent any such catastrophe from happening.

Due to the AI security being breached a number of times, OpenAI has come out with massive improvements in their security system so that DALL-E will sort thing out and support human face editing with excellent filters.

There is a tendency among many users to generate content that is violent, sexual, and political that can lead to disastrous consequences but due to the new filters, which OpenAI claims to be of highly robust nature, such things can be prevented from happening and nipped in the bud itself.

Furthermore, OpenAI have confirmed that they have a policy due to which users cannot upload images of anyone without their consent, which was tested by using random celebrities’ names so that their images appeared with their face but due to the filters, nothing of the sort happened.

If you want to test Dall-E’s features, you can, for example, upload your own image where your eyes are covered following which you need to ask DALL-E to edit the face, features, clothes, or anything of your choice and see the results for yourself.

OpenAI DALL-E

Once users get the AI tool, it can be used even further while people that want to gain access to it can do so by visiting the official website of OpenAI where you can learn about the procedures in detail.

Conclusion

All said and done, there are many folks that consider photo editing with faces as a violation of privacy as many have expressed skepticism on whether it is the right thing to do or not but, come to think of it, there is a sizeable portion of youngsters that are willing to do anything for fame with stripping being at the very least.

Google had conducted an I/O 2022 event back in May 2022 where it announced several of its gadgets that are in the pipeline waiting to be launched in the latter half of 2022. It has promised to one up its game and give competition to the likes of Apple, Samsung, OPPO, and others.

All these tech giants have come out with successful devices this year with Apple launching their latest iPhone 14 smartphones along with several other devices on September 7, 2022, at the ‘Far Out’ event held in California.

Google too is coming out with its brand new Google Pixel 7 and Google Pixel 7 pro smartphones that will be launched in the global market on October 6, 2022, while the Indian market launch is, as of yet, unconfirmed.

Brief Up

The company has already shared a glimpse of both handsets at the aforementioned I/O 2022 event back in the summer where it was confirmed that the Pixel 7 series will be the flagship model for Google as of now.

It was also confirmed that both Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro will be launched in India in due course that will mark it as the flagship series for the very first time in the country apart from the fact that pre-orders will also available from October 6, which is the day of the official launch.

The latest buzz is that the price of Google Pixel 7 series has been leaked via reliable tipsters that have good connections with the insiders of the company that provide them with the regular grapevine prior to the official launch of any device.

Google Pixel 7 is speculated to cost $599, which is around Rs.48,600 while Pixel 7 Pro is expected to come at $899, which is approximately Rs.72,990, which incidentally is the same price as that of Google Pixel 6 that was launched back in 2021.

Pixel 7 Series will be available in four colour options viz. Hazel, lemongrass, Snow, and Obsidian. But that isn’t all as the leaks have also revealed the promotional offers on the devices that users will be most excited about as they can avail the models via discount offers along with the regular festive season perks.

As per reliable sources, Pixel 7 series handsets will come with gift card incentives with a $100 gift card for Pixel 7 and $200 gift card for Pixel 7 Pro, but various other requirements other than the phone purchase are unclear at the moment and will only be revealed on October 6, 2022 when the handsets are finally launched at a global scale.

Conclusion

As it generally happens prior to the big release of some new gadget, there are many other rumours and speculations going around the Pixel 7 Series of smartphones, each more bizarre than the previous one.

As official sources are yet to confirm several other things, the speculations are to be taken with a grain of salt except perhaps the aforementioned information as it comes from reliable sources.

All eyes are now on October 6, 2022, when Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro will finally come out and put all speculations to rest while users and tech experts will decide whether it lives up to their expectations as its predecessors or not.

Microsoft, Apple, Google in Soup; Mozilla Challenges Golden Trinity?

0
Golden Trinity
Mozilla

Microsoft, Apple, and Google are three of the most powerful tech giants in the world with no peer to match them by a thousand miles at least. It won’t be an exaggeration to call them the golden trinity of the tech world, similar to the Brahma-Vishnu-Mahesh trio.

Over the years, they have rolled out with some of the best electronic gadgets and devices known to mankind be it smartphones, smartwatches, laptops, along with many others where people wait with excitement and anticipation as to what they will come out with next

There is a big reason as to why they’re where they’re at, which is right at the top and to sustain yourself at the coveted position for so long deserves all the accolades that can be given to them but things don’t always turn out as smooth as one imagines in such a perilous journey.

However, when you’re at the height and stature as the golden trinity mentioned above, to sustain the top position for a longer period, while not difficult, is no easy job as one has to encounter brickbats, envy, criticism, and many other hurdles.

In Brief

Mozilla, developer of Firefox Internet Browser, has hit out at the three tech giants that their operating systems make it difficult for Firefox and similar browsers to be opened and operated on self-controlled platforms.

Mozilla

Mozilla has alleged that their operation systems are such that users are not able to switch browsers easily while sometimes it is impossible to make even that happen by setting the company’s own browser as the default one on the home screen, which also occupies primary position.

Mozilla has its own Gecko browsing engine that the makers hope to use for investing and developing their own solutions, which is important as Apple, Google, and Mozilla are the only three main browser engine providers that we have today.

The problem is that Apple’s engine runs solely on Apple devices and if Mozilla is taken out of the equation, Google remains the sole cross-platform browser engine, which is a matter of serious concern as it creates concentration of power and a single point of failure.

The market share for Mozilla Firefox Browser was 3.16% worldwide for August 2022 while those of Microsoft Edge and Apple Safari are at 4.3% and 18.78%, respectively while the Google Chrome browser is head and shoulders above all at a whopping 65.52% as per reliable web traffic analysis.

Mozilla has further claimed that all three big tech giants have failed to deliver on the operating system issue as lawmakers and policymakers have invested money, time, and energy, and resources wisely on investing digital markets.

The Firefox developer opines that every tech giant should be aware of the browser competition that is prevalent in such a field and has to work things out to maintain the good position so as to prevent any further harm from befalling loyal customers due to competitive stagnation and consistent inaction.

Conclusion

Mozilla has called upon Microsoft, Google, and Apple to work out a solution like enforcing the preexistent laws along with the upcoming, laws, rules, and regulations that will soon come into play.

It has a distinctive dual-tone design, with a horizontal camera bar at the back that houses the two cameras and an LED flash.

Previously located on the left of the screen, the front-facing camera is now at the top center of the display.

New hues like sage, charcoal, and chalk are available for the phone, setting it apart from the standard Pixel 6 lineup.

Fast charging may no longer be a unique selling point, but it’s still nice to have if you can.

With its USB Type-C 3.1 connector, the Pixel 6a is compatible with rapid charging up to 18W. This is achieved using USB Power Delivery 3.0.

It seems that smartphone screen sizes are steadily growing. But the Pixel 6a doesn’t cut.

In case the 6.34-inch screen size of the Pixel 5a was too much for you, the smaller-screened 6a may be more to your liking. It’s interesting to note that the screen size matches that of Apple’s iPhone 13. It weighs just 0.14 ounces more than the cheapest iPhone 13.
