All about Flipkart's new complete mobile protection plan

Flipkart has made a partnership with Asus and has now come up with a new Value Added Service for smartphone buyers in India. With the launch of the new Asus ZenFone Max Pro, Flipkart has launched this protection plan called 'Complete Mobile Protection'. They say that it is an industry first coverage plan for smartphones in India.

This plan is introduced with the ZenFone Max Pro and is priced at Rs. 999 per year. But for now this plan is available for a special introductory price of just Rs. 49 with the Asus ZenFone Max Pro.

Some Highlights of this plan

Flipkart says that this is totally different from the brand warranty that is given by the manufacturers. This plan not only does provide cover for accidental damage but assures you quick replacements, free pickups and drops.

This main highlight of this plan is the guranteed repair or replacement for the phones and also provides a 10-day limit for repairs failing which Flipkart will replace your device. Flipkart also says that it's planning to eliminate hidden costs and repair charges which companies charge sometimes even when the warranty is valid. Last but not the least, Flipkart has made a single helpline number whereas many others have multiple helpline numbers which is irritating.

Third Party display problems comes to an end

A few days back we've posted about an issue where 3rd party displays in iPhones have become totally unresponsive as it couldn't recognize any touch inputs. But now Apple has come up with a new iOS update to fix the issue.

This update has fixed the display issue which is manufactured by third party display manufacturers. So kindly update your iPhone to solve the issue with your display.

To read the full history of this problem, do read this article.

Third party displays on iPhones face issues

Third party displays on iPhones disabled on iOS 11.3

The recent update for iOS was released by Apple and included a lot of new changes in it which made my iPhone & iPad work so blazing fast since the first update of iOS 11. But reports coming up recently saying that many users are facing issues with their displays after the update.

According to the reports, the displays turn on fine but the touch input is totally not recognized by the phone. This makes the phone completely useless. After analyzing the reports from users, it is found that this problem is occurring only for the users who've replaced their iPhone's displays with a 3rd party display vendor. This is something that Apple doesn't recommend and users who've done so have voided their warranty. Users go to third party displays because getting their displays replaced by Apple is too expensive.

Since this issue has come up, 3rd party vendors have found a workaround to solve this problem. Here the issue is with the dedicated microchip which controls the touch input signals which is not supporting the 3rd party displays. So there is a way to get that microchip replaced. But that's also a pricey one. There is no confirmation that whether the above method is possible or not.

Till now Apple hasn't said anything about this issue and there's no idea whether Apple is intending to fix this issue with an update or not. But the same kind of issue happened with 3rd party displays earlier and was fixed by Apple in iOS 11.0.3. So there's still hope that this issue might be fixed.

Gmail to come up with self destructing mails

Google appears to be working on a Confidential Mode where everything is privacy focused and could also see self-destructing emails. 

This Confidential Mode allows a user to send self-destructing emails & prevent the recipient from downloading, forwarding, printing or copying the contents of the email. With this new update, Gmail will show a lock like icon to activate the Confidential Mode. Here you can set the expiry date for the email after which it'd be deleted.

But the catch in this feature is that you can still take a screenshot or do screen recording so that you can have a copy of the email for yourself.

Some other features in this Confidential Mode is that the recipient would have to type in an SMS passcode to confirm their identity before the contents of the email are displayed. After entering the passcode, the recipient would also have to click on a link to verify your identity to reveal the contents of the email.

The thing is that Gmail is actually not deleting any emails. It just disables all the links for the email so that it can't be viewed. But its not sure that this feature will be available to emails sent to other email platforms.

Jio to come up with SIM enabled laptops

After the big revolution in the telecom industry, Reliance Jio is now working on bringing out laptops which will have cellular connectivity in them.

The company has been working with the company who makes chips to power our smartphones, Qualcomm, to bring out laptops with built-in cellular connections for the Indian market. The laptop will be running the latest Windows 10 Operating System.

The laptop is expected to come with a Snapdragon 835 chip-set which is powering the top smartphones like Oneplus 5T, Nokia 8, and many more.

Qualcomm is already working with top laptop makers like HP, Asus, Lenovo for this project. IoT brand Smartron  is also working with Jio to bring out this kind of laptop into the market. Overall this idea is to increase the Average Revenue per User(ARPU) for Jio. Moreover, a recent study shows that most of the people using laptops connect either to their home WiFi or their workplace WiFi. So Jio has come up with this idea to make laptops with cellular connectivity. Many other top telecom operators in other countries like AT&T, Verizon and Sprint are working to bring out laptops like these in their markets. 

Now experience 5G network in these IPL venues

Popular telecom giant Jio  has announced that it's planned to deploy Pre-5G network in some of the IPL venues during this season. This Pre-5G is also known as Advanced 4G MIMO. This technology helps all the users in the IPL stadiums to experience super-fast internet.

This so called Pre-5G can be experienced in Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium & Delhi's Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium. Users can experience it only during the IPL season in the above mentioned stadiums only.

The Pre-5G technology is implemented using a massive array of MIMOs (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output), 4G eNodes and several WiFi cells to create a wide and strong network. This technology provides 5 times the capacity of a 30MHz wide band spectrum in order to provide a strong and wide network coverage especially in crowded areas like a stadium.

Airtel has also announced the deployment of massive MIMOs in the Wankhede stadium. It has also announced that it'll soon be implementing this technology in other IPL venues in Bangalore, Jaipur, Mohali and many more.

Did you know why few days were missing in 1752?

In the year 1752, the month of September had few missing days in its calendar. The reason was due to an assumption in the duration of an year. Pope Gregory XIII had a problem with Easter in the year 1582. According to the Julian Calendar that the church and large parts of the world followed, measure that an year consists of 365 days and 6 hours.

But the thing is that the above answer is not right. The length of an year is 365 days 5 hours and 49 minutes. So this 11 minute difference might not seem so much but when it is compounded over a period of 1300 years, it makes a big difference. So the areas and countries under his leadership had skipped a few days. But not all the countries accepted this in the beginning. In the year 1752, Britain and its colonies later adopted to this change and skipped 11 days in the year 1752, from September 3 through 13.

But Russia didn't adopt to the change till the year 1918 and Greece didn't adopt to the change till 1923. So ultimately these 2 countries had to skip 13 days instead of 11. 

உழவருக்கு சமர்பணம்

உழவன் அன்று பயிரை வாட விடாமல் பார்த்து கொண்டான் இன்று அவனே வாட  நாம் பார்த்து கொண்டிருக்கிறோம்.

இரவும் பகலும் பார்க்காமல் தண்ணீர் இறைத்து பயிர் விளைத்தான். இன்று இறைவனால் கூட அவனை காப்பாற்ற முடியவில்லை.

மழைக்காக கண்ணீர் சிந்த தொடங்கினான். இன்று அவன் கண்ணீர் சிந்தி சிந்தி அதுவே மழை நீராய் மாறி உள்ளது.

என்றும் கடுமையாய் நமக்காக உழைக்கும் அவன், பெற்ற கடனுக்காக கடுமையாய் அடிக்கப்படுகின்றான்.

சமுதாயத்தில் இருக்கும் சாதி மதத்தை புறக்கணித்து அனைவருக்கும் உணவு உற்பத்தி செய்தான். இன்று சாதி மதம் தான் அவனை சமுதாயத்திலிருந்து புறக்கணிக்கிறது.

கயவர்கள் பலர் நிலவளவு கடனை பெற்று  முடக்கப்படாமல் நாட்டை

விட்டு செல்கிறனர்.உழவர் நெல்லவு கடன் பெற்று வீட்டிலே முடக்க ப்படுகிறான்.

தனம் கொடுக்கும்  லக்‌ஷ்மியையும் போற்றுகிறோம் உயிர் பறிக்கும் யமனையும் வேண்டுகிறோம் . நமக்கு உணவை கொடுக்கும் கடவுளான உழவனையும்  போற்ற வேண்டும்.
