An emergency can occur at any time during driving, be it a seasoned driver or a beginner. It can happen to anyone and it can be quite dire if one does not keep their composure during it. The first thing to remember is to not panic in an emergency situation because split second decisions can make or break the scenario. That said, what happens if your car does not have ABS to assist you with braking? The ABS or, Anti-lock braking system, is a piece of technology that lets you bring the car to a stop without losing control.

It lets the driver steer the car while the brake is fully pressed, since the system is doing the braking on its own. In a car with ABS, the car would grip and release the wheel to brake automatically, to let the driver have control. However, in a vehicle without ABS, pressing the brake continuously while make the wheels lock and take control away from the driver.

Braking In An Older Car

Imagine that you are driving a car that does not have the ABS feature in it. If, for any reason, your car starts to move out of control or you have to suddenly brake, what will you do? If you just jam the brake and keep pressing it, the wheels will lock and you will not be able to control the car or steer it. Thus, it is important to remember to lift the foot of the brake.

A practice that is often referred to as ‘pumping the brake’ is something that will be useful to you in such a situation. When you lift your foot off the brake, you give yourself control and room to steer, after which you can press the brake down again. You’d be doing exactly what the ABS does automatically, except you are doing it manually.

Last Minute Decisions

The thought of pumping the brake does not immediately occur to a person in such a scenario. However, make the habit of pumping the brake even when you are braking regularly. This way, you would instinctively pump the brake when an emergency arises.

This habit can also save your life in case your car has ABS but it fails to deploy. Always remember to wear your seatbelt, keep your mirrors aligned with your vision and drive safely on the road.

Aamer Jamal Blames DRS For ‘Unlucky’ Babar Azam Dismissal

aamir-jamal-blames-drs-for-babar-azam-dismissal

Pakistan all-rounder Aamer Jamal has put the blame on DRS (decision review system) for the dismissal of Babar Azam during the first day of the Sydney Test against Australia.

Aamer Jamal, who scored a brilliant counter-attacking innings of 82 runs off 97 balls on the first day, talked about Babar Azam’s dismissal earlier in the day.

Babar Azam was playing at 26, when Australian skipper Pat Cummins bowled a big inswinger that hit the pad first, then the bat. The on-field umpire wasn’t convinced and gave it not-out. However, Australia asked to review the decision. The decision was sent to the third umpire and the replays showed that it hit the bat after the pad and it would have gone on to hit the leg-stump.

It was the third time during this series that Pat Cummins dismissed Babar Azam with an inswinging delivery.

However, the controversial decision left Pakistan fans fuming as they thought this could have been not-out on umpires’ call.

Aamer Jamal also voiced the same sentiments during the press conference after the stumps on day one. He appreciated Babar Azam’s batting today and termed his dismissal ‘unlucky’.

Notably, Pakistan’s team director Mohammad Hafeez also criticized the umpiring and technology after his team’s loss in the last Test.

“We made mistakes as a team but even umpiring and technology had flaws in the second game. The result would have been different had things went in our favour,” said Mohammad Hafeez.

Hafeez’s comments came in the wake of a crucial umpiring decision that led to the dismissal of Mohammad Rizwan off Cummins’ bowling.

Pakistan needed 98 runs with 5 wickets in hand when Mohammad Rizwan was given out by the third umpire. The ball hit the wristband of Rizwan’s glove and Alex Carey took a brilliant catch behind the stumps.

Michael Gough turned down Australia’s appeal and Pat Cummins went for the DRS. The third umpire, Richard Illingworth, found evidence that led to overturning the on-field decision, resulting in Rizwan’s dismissal.

Are Passwords Going To End Soon?

Source: Stytech

Say goodbye to the hassle of remembering passwords because there’s a new kid on the block – passkeys! These nifty things are changing the way we log into our accounts, making it easier and safer.

The Problem with Passwords

For years, passwords have been like the internet’s bodyguard, but they’ve been pretty lousy at their job. But now, it seems like they’re on their way out, thanks to passkeys! Some big-name companies, like Amazon, PayPal, and Uber, are waving goodbye to passwords. They’ve started using passkeys, a better and safer way for people to sign in. Christiaan Brand from Google says passwords are tough to use and easy for sneaky folks to crack. But passkeys? They’re safer and don’t need as much effort from us.

Tech giants like Google, Apple, and Microsoft have been getting ready for this change for more than ten years. Now, it’s paying off! Jeremy Grant from Venable, a law firm, thinks 2024 will be huge for passkeys. He believes more companies and even government offices will start using passkeys once they see how well they work.

According to Google, they’re four times better at letting us log in compared to passwords. Plus, lots of people in America – 57% – are interested in giving them a shot.

How Passkeys Work

At its core, passkeys rely on code stored on users’ personal devices that communicates with corresponding code on websites during the login process. They’re tiny bits of code stored on our gadgets. When we want to log in somewhere, this code talks to another code stored on the website. It’s like they’re having a secret conversation! First, you unlock your device, maybe using your fingerprint or face. Then, your device sends its secret code to the website. The website uses its own code to check if your passkey is the real deal.

These passkeys are making our online lives simpler and safer. No more forgetting passwords or worrying about hackers sneaking into our accounts! They’re like a secret key that only we and our favorite websites know about.

So, get ready to say “see ya later” to passwords and “hello” to the future with passkeys! They’re making logging in a breeze, and it’s about time!

Aamer Jamal Earns Massive Praise For His Fightback In Sydney Test

aamir-jamal-joins-imran-khan

Pakistan all-rounder Aamer Jamal earned massive praise from the cricket fraternity for his counter-attacking knock against Australia during the Sydney Test. Renowned cricket commentator Harsha Bhogle and former England captain Michael Vaughan lauded Jamal’s remarkable display during the match, highlighting his crucial contribution that helped ease Pakistan’s troubles.

Aamer Jamal scored a half-century, marking a significant achievement, which elevated him to a prestigious list alongside cricketing legends Imran Khan and Wasim Akram as one of the three Pakistani cricketers to score 100+ runs and take 10+ wickets in a Test series in Australia.

Harsha Bhogle, expressing admiration for Jamal’s resilience, posted on X, “I don’t think Aamer Jamal will bat at no 9 too many more times in his career. Got to admire his pluck but also his skill. This determination is what the fans would have wanted to see from their team.

Michael Vaughan also posted on X, appreciating the fighting spirit shown by Pakistani batters including Aamir Jamal.

The third Test witnessed Pakistan being dismissed for 313 on the opening day, with Jamal’s invaluable fifty lower down the order. His partnership with tailender Mir Hamza, an impressive 86-run stand for the last wicket, was instrumental in pushing Pakistan’s total beyond 300 after a shaky start. Jamal’s commanding innings of 82 runs off 97 balls, laced with nine fours and four sixes, showcased his resilience.

As Australia began their response, retiring cricket star David Warner received a heartfelt guard of honor from the Pakistan team, backed by a thunderous applause from the Sydney crowd.

‘You Want To Be Great or A Millionaire?’ Wasim Akram Questions Shaheen Afridi

wasim-akram-questions-shaheen-afridi

Former Pakistani pace legends, Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis, have voiced strong criticism against the decision to rest Shaheen Shah Afridi from the ongoing Sydney Test against Australia.

Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis emphasized the significance of Test cricket and raised concerns about prioritizing shorter formats over the ultimate format of the game.

Speaking on Fox Cricket, Wasim Akram stressed the need for players to understand the distinction between the allure of T20 cricket for financial gains and the lasting legacy that Test cricket bestows.

“Straight after this [Sydney Test] there are five T20s in New Zealand, and Shaheen Afridi’s the captain,” Wasim said on Fox Cricket.

“But T20 cricket, who cares? I understand, it’s there for entertainment and it’s there for financial gain for cricket boards, for players, but cricketers should know that Test cricket is the ultimate. ”

“If we talk about what happened 20 years ago in this Test in Sydney, nobody knows what happened last night in T20. That’s the difference.”

“These guys have to understand and learn, if you want to be a great of the game or do you want to be a millionaire. You can become both but with a little more sense,” Wasim added.

He highlighted the enduring impact of Test performances compared to the fleeting nature of T20 encounters, urging players to strive for greatness rather than merely chasing financial rewards.

Echoing Akram’s sentiments, Waqar Younis also expressed surprise and disappointment at Shaheen Afridi’s absence from the Test, emphasizing the team’s primary commitment to Test match cricket.

“We play for Test match cricket,” Younis stressed, indicating the value and honor associated with the longest format. He underscored Afridi’s promising form and his importance to the Test lineup, expressing bewilderment over the decision to rest a player who appeared to be finding his rhythm and form.

“We don’t play for T20s or one-day cricket. And if you’re missing Test match cricket purely because you are being rested, I do not understand.”

“That’s a real shocker for me because I was expecting him to be a part of this Test match because he looked good in the previous match. He started feeling like the old Shaheen Afridi and started to swing the ball and the pace was getting better,” he concluded.

Both cricketing legends’ remarks emphasize the enduring legacy and significance of Test cricket, urging players to prioritize the rich history and impact of the longer format, challenging the allure of shorter formats like T20 cricket, even with its financial enticements.

5 Pakistani Horror TV Shows That Will Give You The Chills!

Pakistani Horror TV Shows
Image Source: Brandsynario

No family gathering ends without a Horror Stories segment! Am I right, or am I right? There will always be that one cousin or uncle with a tonne of horror stories in stock, real or not. These stories are still fun in their way because no matter how scared you are, you always sit till the end. But have you seen any Pakistani Horror TV shows recently? They are few but still a good watch. So let’s discuss some Pakistani Horror TV Shows!

1. Belapur ki Dayan

Top of the list, ‘Belapur ki Dayan.’ The drama aired on HUM TV and cast includes Sarah Khan and Amar Khan in pivotal roles. Sarah Khan, the haunted, and Amar, as the Dayan. The story goes somewhat like this that Neelofur, played by Amar, was wronged by her stepbrother. Her spirit wanders in the abandoned house upon her death.

When her stepbrother returns with his family after winning the court battle, the angry mind starts taking revenge. Other than Neelofur, there were other spirits as well, but the scariest I found was when a lady is offering prayers, and through the corner of her eye, she seems one else praying as well. Amar Khan superbly played the role that most of my sympathies (when she was not scaring the hell out of me) were with her.

2. Dil Nawaz

If the chemistry between a human and a jinn is going to be like this, I don’t think people would run away from them. And if the jinn is going to be this pretty, then what are we afraid of really? The drama Dil Nawaz aired on A Plus and had Neelam Muneer with Wahaj Ali has the main cast.

Honestly, I loved the jinn in it more than any other character. It was pretty impressive seeing how a jinn, controlled by some women, tries to scare off a man who does get a little scared but refuses to run away. It is a story about a jinn falling in love with that man. And the cute moments that follow are the highlight of the drama. But do not disregard the horror because if you fall for a jinn, be ready to dream about your funeral with white dressed people surrounding you.

3. Dareecha

At number 3 we have Dareecha, another horror show. This drama aired on ARY Digital in the year 2011. The story is primarily about black magic. And you know where black magic is involved, there will be some bone-chilling experience. Fazeela Qazi and Sana Askari were in the lead roles.

4. Lal Mai

Lal Mai is a Pakistani drama that aired on AAJ entertainment. It stars Sana Fakhar, Shamil Khan, and Taqi Ahmed, among others. The story involves equal drama, supernatural, and a little bit of the signature blanket snatching. Because are they ghosts if they don’t feel cold in the air conditioner?

And oh yes, the creepy looking uncle whose smile unnerves everyone but in the end, he will be the one helping out obviously. Oops, was that a spoiler? Sorry. Regardless, the story gives us chills, especially the part where the kid is in danger.

https://youtu.be/pxlveNGWGbw

5. Bandish

Never flirt with a woman if you a girlfriend on the side. She will remember this even 30 years later and prepare her sister to trap you romantically to ruin your married life. Oh, and also, learn black magic to unleash a pet jinn onto your daughters so they can’t get married. So be a bit manly and stop two-timing, please.

Bandish stars Marina Khan, Sajid Hasan, Hira Salman (Hira Mani), and of course, the black magic practician played by Farah Shah. So anyway, next time you see your little sister or daughter talking to some invisible being in the corner of the room, ask yourself if you pissed anyone off.

I would also like to make an honorary mention when discussing Pakistani Horror TV Shows. Remember the old PTV times? It used to air Haqeeqat. Now, I do not remember the entire story, but I do know that it was horror, horror enough to leave an imprint on my mind. Twenty years later, discussing horror TV shows, Haqeeqat is the first thing I remember.

According to latest news, a plane collision has just occurred, leaving a crater of destruction in its wake. We bring you news as it develops on the most recent accident that has occurred at Tokyo’s Haneda Airport. A Japan Airlines plane, flight 516, burst into flames upon landing at Tokyo’s Haneda airport after colliding with a Japan Coast Guard aircraft involved in earthquake relief efforts.

This is quite the dire piece of news as relief authorities are rushing to the scene to help those in need. All passengers and crew members, including eight children under two years old, on the Japanese Airline flight were safely evacuated. However, the scenes were not the same for the relief aircraft. Five out of six people on the other plane were reported killed.

Tokyo Airport Collision

The incident occurred after the Japanese Airline flight arrived from Sapporo, and the second aircraft, operated by the Japan Coast Guard, was heading from Haneda to Niigata prefecture for earthquake relief efforts. Due to issues with visibility, the planes were not seen approaching near to each other until the very last minute.

Video footage showed the Japanese Airline plane engulfed in flames on the runway, with passengers using emergency slides to escape as firefighters attempted to control the fire. It was a scene of utter chaos as people were trying their best to evacuate and rush to safety before anything related to the fuselage took place.

An Ongoing Investigation

Japan Airlines is investigating the details and cause of the plane fire, and the tragic incident is still developing. We have yet to understand how this happened but the black box of the plane will be able to reveal quite a lot of details. Additionally, we have yet to hear statements from the respective pilots themselves.

Nikon, Sony, Canon To Combat Fake AI Imagery

Source: Yupatech

In the ever-evolving world of cameras, Nikon, Sony, and Canon are teaming up to tackle a big problem: fake photos. With the rise of super realistic fake images created by AI, these companies are introducing new camera technology to verify the authenticity of the pictures we see.

Nikon’s Authenticity Assurance

Imagine taking a photo and having a special mark that proves it’s real, like a secret code only your camera knows. That’s exactly what Nikon plans to offer with their mirrorless cameras. These cameras will create special digital signatures that hold important details like when and where the photo was taken, and who took it. This extra layer of security will be especially useful for professionals like journalists who rely on authentic photos.

The rise of deepfakes, which are incredibly convincing fake videos or images, has made it hard to tell what’s real and what’s not. For example, there were fake videos of former U.S. President Donald Trump and Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida that fooled a lot of people. To combat this, a bunch of news groups and tech companies joined forces to create Verify, a free online tool that checks if an image is genuine by looking for its digital signature.

A Collaborative Defense

These digital signatures are now becoming a standard shared by Nikon, Sony, and Canon. These three companies dominate around 90% of the camera market globally. They’re making it harder for fake images to go unnoticed.

Sony is taking big steps by updating its professional cameras with firmware that includes digital signatures. This means that when a photographer sends their images to a news organization, Sony’s special servers can instantly check if the images are genuine or AI-made.

Canon is also working hard on similar features for their cameras. They’re even developing technology to add digital signatures to videos, not just photos. Canon’s image management app will soon help users figure out if an image was taken by a human or not.

Sony’s Firmware Update

With the ability to create so many fake images every day, tech companies are on high alert. Google, for example, has come up with invisible digital watermarks to spot fake AI-generated pictures. Intel has a technology that studies changes in skin color to tell if an image is real or not.

It’s a bit of a technological arms race – with companies constantly coming up with new ways to fight fake content online. As the battle rages on, these innovative solutions from Nikon, Sony, and Canon are steps towards ensuring we can trust the pictures we see.

Trends To Watch Out For CES 2024

Source: VOA

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) has become a buzzing hub for cutting-edge technology, and the car industry is no exception. Set to take place from January 9 to 12, the upcoming CES 2024 is anticipated to be an exibition of innovations, particularly in the automotive world

Electric Vehicles (EVs) Taking the Center Stage

In a noteworthy shift, the focus at CES 2024 is poised to amplify the electric vehicle revolution. While autonomous driving tech has struggled to gain traction, EVs have been gaining immense popularity. Market data reflects this change, with EV sales surging from 3 million in 2020 to over 10 million in 2023. Major players like Ford and GM redirecting their efforts away from autonomous vehicles further indicate the rising dominance of electric cars.

Practical Tech Solutions Stealing the Show

Unlike previous years where companies often showcased far-off futuristic concepts, CES 2024 is expected to spotlight technology that’s ready for use right now. Visitors can anticipate a showcase of practical, real-world tech solutions that drivers can readily implement in their vehicles.

Honda’s Electric Vehicle Unveil

Among the exciting reveals lined up for CES 2024, Honda is set to unveil its new “global EV series models and several key technologies.” This move underscores Honda’s significant transformation towards electric mobility. The announcement scheduled for January 9 holds the promise of unveiling groundbreaking developments from the Japanese automotive giant.

Concept Cars Still Making an Entrance

While the spotlight may shift towards practical tech, concept cars still hold their allure. Hyundai’s Mobion concept car, allowing independent wheel movements, offers a glimpse into the imaginative designs carmakers continue to explore and introduce.

AI in Cars: A Cautionary Approach

Unlike the overarching AI focus expected at CES 2024, the automotive sector is taking a more reserved stance on artificial intelligence. With safety concerns paramount, companies are wary of integrating unreliable AI technology into vehicles. Instead, the emphasis might be on utilizing AI for less critical applications like vehicle personalization, steering clear of high-risk functionalities within cars.

Mushtaq Ahmed Suggests Babar Azam To Take A Break

basit-ali-challenges-babar-azam

Former Pakistan cricketer Mushtaq Ahmed has suggested star batter Babar Azam to take a break in order to regain his form. Mushtaq Ahmed shed light on the mental health challenges faced by prominent players, particularly emphasizing the struggling form Babar Azam.

The right-handed batter played five Test matches in 2023 and could only yield 204 runs at a dismal average of 22.66 with the highest score of 41.

In an interview with a local news channel, Mushtaq Ahmed expressed concerns about the unrecognized toll that such pressures can exact on a player’s mental health. He underscored the balance between short-term success and the long-term mental health of players, citing the need for breaks in their rigorous schedules.

“Babar has given outstanding performances, and he is our hero. He is considered one of the top players in the world. However, he faced challenges with the losses in Asia Cup and the World Cup, and subsequently losing the captaincy amid rumors and difficulties. Often in our culture, we fail to realize the need for breaks. Babar Azam needed a mental break as he was fatigued,” Ahmed explained, advocating for rest periods to prevent burnout.

He suggested a strategic break for Babar, skipping a few matches to recharge and refocus, highlighting the risk of declining performance due to mental fatigue.

‘Virat Kohli took a break and came back stronger’

Drawing parallels with global players like India’s Virat Kohli, Ahmed highlighted the effectiveness of breaks during rough patches. “Worldwide, we provide coaching, and when a player is mentally troubled, a break of 2 or 3 matches is recommended. When Virat Kohli faced a slump, he took time off, returning stronger,” Ahmed emphasized.

Ahmed also highlighted the responsibility of team management in recognizing and addressing the mental health needs of players like Babar Azam. “Management plays a crucial role; they should have advised Babar to take a breather,” he concluded.

The insightful remarks by Mushtaq Ahmed underscore the growing significance of mental health awareness in cricket, advocating for a more holistic approach to player well-being, especially for cricketing stalwarts like Babar Azam.
