Zaka Ashraf assumed the role of PCB Chairman in July of the ongoing year, overseeing a tenure fraught with intense scrutiny, particularly during the 2023 World Cup, drawing criticism from former players. Nevertheless, Ashraf catalyzed significant changes in Pakistan cricket, appointing ex-fast bowler Wahab Riaz as Chief Selector and Mohammad Hafeez as Technical Director.

Amidst this, Babar Azam’s resignation from captaincy across formats led to Shan Masood and Shaheen Shah Afridi taking up Test and T20 captaincy, respectively, reshaping Pakistan cricket’s landscape. As Ashraf’s tenure winds down, the reverberations of his decisions continue to influence Pakistani cricket significantly.

Every day, we see more and more advancements when it comes to technology. Where the smartphone used to be a new invention, it has become a necessity in every household. We remember the time when phone chargers used to consist of round pins and heavy bricks. Now, the designs have become more sleek, with various kinds of ports being used in smartphones. The USB-C port is becoming quite common these days, with Apple using it in their latest iPhone as well.

iPhone 15 transitioned to USB-C, but Lightning ports persist in some Mac accessories. The lightning port is the default one that Apple has been using for quite a lot of years. They first appeared in the early iPhones and stayed for quite a while. However, even in Mac accessories, Apple might be thinking to transition to type-C ports instead of lightning.

Apple Rumored Accessories

The Rumor suggests that Apple Magic Mouse, Magic Keyboard, and Magic Trackpad will be updated with USB-C ports in spring 2024. This means that the above accessories will now be compatible on a whole other level than right now. According to the rumor, the change may be the only update for these accessories, with no additional details provided.

If the rumor is true, Lightning ports will be transitioned out from most Apple products, with older iPhones and iPhone SE 3 being exceptions. Those can remain on the lightning ports and will have support for quite a while. However, any new products, you can expect them to be USB-C based.

Another rumor hints at new iPad Air, iPad Pro, and MacBook Air models powered by Apple’s M3 chip launching in March, April, or May 2024. Of course, we are all looking forward to how the M3 is going to perform. This might be the first M-series chip that can provide users with dedicated gaming functionality. Yes, you might just be able to use M3 macs for your gaming needs.

Let us see what else Apple brings to us as the year comes to an end. They have already given us quite a lot to go on for next year, but they can still surprise us. Knowing them, they might have more tricks up their sleeve.

Google Chrome is one of the most useful tools to anyone out there today. Not only does it feature an immense amount of capability, it also lets the user open as many tabs as they can. Additionally, out of all the search browsers, it is the one that is optimized the best. It consumes lesser memory than some of them and it does not let the user feel like they would get annoyed.

According to recent news, Google is developing new generative AI features for its Chrome browser, including the “Create Theme with AI” tool. Integrating the capabilities of AI within the tool itself sounds like quite an innovative feature. The AI-based tool allows users to generate custom desktop themes by choosing a subject from 12 categories, selecting an art style, and fine-tuning with mood and color options.

Google Chrome Rising

While this news is certainly a fresh one, the feature is currently exclusive to Chrome Canary, an experimental version for developers, and may not work as intended. It does have its safety concerns as well, since the build itself is experimental. Chrome Canary is unstable and may crash randomly; users are cautioned about potential data loss or security compromise when enabling experimental features.

However, that is not the only piece of news we have regarding Google Chrome. Another generative AI tool for Chrome, “Help Me Write,” is in development, providing contextual writing suggestions for posts or reviews. As you can see from the name, it will be able to assist users with anything regarding writing. The release date for “Help Me Write” is uncertain, with speculation suggesting it might come with Chrome 122 in February 2024, but plans could change.

Here’s a snippet from her podcast interview

‘Wahaj should try reading scripts. I have worked with him. If I’m in the room on set he would just come in and ask me about the scenes and his lines in it.’

‘He then asks about his lines in the script and then asks me if I can do it. We have even done scenes where I have asked him to just listen and respond to my dialogues.’

Wahaj Ali whose work has been receiving accolades and praise is on the horizon. Recently, his role alongside Ayeza Khan was one of the highly anticipated ones.

WHO Discovers Contaminated Medicinal Syrups From Pakistan

By

Dec 12, 2023

The World Health Organization (WHO) recently raised alarms after discovering a string of contaminated medicinal syrups and suspensions originating from Pharmix Laboratories in Pakistan. These tainted products, containing active ingredients to treat diverse health conditions, have been found in multiple countries across the Americas, the Eastern Mediterranean, South-East Asia, and the Western Pacific regions.

Ethylene Glycol Contamination

The primary contaminant identified in these medications is ethylene glycol, present in unacceptable levels, as stated by the WHO. This troubling discovery echoes previous alerts issued by the WHO concerning similarly contaminated medicines traced back to India and Indonesia. Tragically, these prior incidents were linked to the unfortunate deaths of approximately 300 children worldwide.

The initial detection of contamination occurred during a routine examination conducted by the Maldives Food and Drug Authority in November, notably in the Alergo syrup. Subsequent investigations confirmed this contamination, prompting swift action from health authorities.

Regulatory Measures and Company Response

Further inspections at Pharmix Laboratories by the Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan unveiled additional tainted products, prompting an immediate halt in the manufacturing of all oral liquid medicines by the company. A recall alert was swiftly issued in November for affected batches of Alergo syrup, Emidone suspension, Mucorid syrup, Ulcofin suspension, and Zincell syrup.

Despite no reported adverse events related to these Pakistan-made syrups, the WHO urges heightened vigilance and extensive testing of products manufactured by Pharmix Laboratories between December 2021 and December 2022. The affected products, intended to address allergies, coughs, and various health concerns, have contamination levels ranging from 0.62 percent to 0.82 percent—significantly surpassing the acceptable limit of 0.10 percent.

Notably, Alergo syrup has been found beyond Pakistan, detected in countries like Belize, Fiji, and Laos. However, swift regulatory actions have been undertaken in these nations to contain the spread of the tainted products.

Global Impact

Pharmix Laboratories, the implicated manufacturer, has yet to provide a comment on this distressing development. Meanwhile, global health authorities are intensifying efforts to prevent any potential harm caused by these contaminated medicinal products, emphasizing the critical importance of stringent quality control measures and robust regulatory oversight in the pharmaceutical industry.

The WHO’s urgent alert serves as a stark reminder of the importance of ensuring the safety and quality of medicinal products to safeguard public health worldwide. Collaborative efforts among nations and stringent adherence to safety protocols are essential in preventing further risks posed by contaminated pharmaceuticals.

Karandaaz and Bank Alfalah Join Hands to Scale Up Female Agent Network and Enhance Financial Inclusion

By

Dec 12, 2023

KARACHI, December 12, 2023: Bank Alfalah, one of the largest commercial banks in Pakistan signed an agreement with Karandaaz to expand the female agent network in Pakistan. This partnership was signed in the presence of Karandaaz Chairperson Salim Raza, Bank Alfalah President and CEO Atif Bajwa, Karandaaz CEO Waqas ul Hasan, Group Head Digital Banking Group Muhammad Yahya Khan and other senior members of Bank Alfalah and Karandaaz.

The partnership aims to promote women’s financial inclusion in Pakistan and is aligned with the objectives of Karandaaz’s Women’s Financial Inclusion (WFI) programme. This collaboration is a significant step towards fostering economic empowerment and accessibility in the financial sector.

The focus of this strategic partnership is to scale up Bank Alfalah’s female agent network, specifically in the digital branchless banking realm, aiming to actively engage in providing services such as Home Remittance, G2P disbursements, e-commerce and QR transactions, money transfer, utility bill payment, and airtime-related transactions.

In line with the collaboration, Bank Alfalah will onboard female agents across various regions of the country and technically enable them with appropriate use such as remittances where our female customers will be more comfortable in getting serviced and sharing their phone numbers.

Karandaaz CEO Waqas ul Hasan added, “Our collaboration with Bank Alfalah underscores Karandaaz’s dedication to digitalization and financial inclusion with a gender lens. This network expansion contributes to the broader objectives of the State Bank of Pakistan’s Banking on Equality policy, while also setting a precedent for other financial institutions to follow suit. This partnership not only reinforces Karandaaz’s commitment to gender equality in the financial sector but also positions Pakistan as a torchbearer for innovative approaches to financial inclusion on the global stage.”

“This collaboration marks a significant milestone in advancing financial inclusion,” said Bank Alfalah President and CEO Atif Bajwa. “We are dedicated to supporting and empowering female agents, driving digital banking success, and fostering financial inclusion for women across Pakistan. This partnership aligns with our mission to create a more inclusive and accessible financial ecosystem in Pakistan.”

Commenting on this landmark collaboration, the Director Digital Financial Services at Karandaaz, Sharjeel Murtaza expressed, “Female agents are an essential instrument for forwarding the agenda of women’s financial inclusion. However, currently the base of female agents is negligible in the country. Through this partnership with Bank Alfalah, Karandaaz aims to scale the female agent network and keep it active which would certainly lead to increased ownership of digital accounts, usage of financial services and most importantly women’s economic autonomy and agency.”

The understanding that women users may find it more comfortable to engage with female agents due to socio-cultural barriers, is at the core of this initiative. While previous, small-scale, efforts have seen limited successes, Bank Alfalah’s commitment to undertaking this activity on a larger, commercial scale is a pioneering move. The success of this initiative holds the promise of reshaping the financial landscape via female agents, furthering the agenda of women’s financial inclusion, and providing a commercially viable model for other banks to emulate.

What Games Do We Want Rockstar To Make Besides GTA 6?

games by rockstar we want more — Image Source: mmo.fr

When we think about Rockstar, Grand Theft Auto is the game that comes to our mind first. It has been in the industry for quite a while now, and it only rising up. GTA 6 is the game that everyone is looking forward to, and it has now been announced. However, there is still some time until the game is released. Rockstar is known for releasing new games after quite a long time, with big gaps in between.

If we take a look at some of the older games by the company, we can think of quite a few that are memorable. From Bully to Grand Theft Auto 4, the company has always astonished us with how far their functionalities went. That said, let us take a look at some of the games we want Rockstar to make other than GTA 6. These would certainly go through the roof if they were ever made.

1. Bully 2

Bully, when it came out, grasped quite a lot of people. When it was released, people regarded it as a GTA-fashioned game but set within a high school. Instead of crime, the protagonist could do various pranks, and the user would experience high-school life. That said, the public would love to see Bully 2 as it would make quite a dent in the genre.

2. GTA Games – Grand Theft Auto 4 Remake

GTA 4 is a game that is considered quite ahead of its time. The physics and ragdoll mechanics in the game make the player feel quite immersed. The details in the game are extraordinary and you can never get bored of the random NPC events that take place all over the map. If Rockstar were to create a remake of a game, let it be of GTA 4.

3. Max Payne 4

The game that introduced the concept of bullet-time, Max Payne is a fan favorite. You can dive in quite a lot of directions, in slow motion, and shoot at your enemies. The first two games had quite a robust story and the third one had extraordinary game mechanics. If we were to experience a fourth one, it would certainly be an immersive game.

4. L.A Noire 2

L.A Noire, when it came out in 2011, brought about quite a lot of new technology. It featured a system where the faces of NPCs were mapped from actual people, and they had realistic expressions. The details in the game were quite a lot and people would love it Rockstar came out with a sequel. More cases for us to solve!

If Rockstar ever decides to work on any of the games above, we would highly anticipate their release.

Khalil Ur Rehman’s Double Standards On Cheating Raises Eyebrows

Dec 12, 2023

Khalil Ur Rehman is as controversial as he can get in his latest podcast interview and his thoughts on infidelity for men and women are raising concerns.

Khalil Ur Rehman Qamar recently appeared on a podcast show and shared his two cents about men cheating on their wives. When asked about what he thinks of giving women the same right to cheat, he lashes out at the host and asks him to stop counter-questioning the guest.

A question, that host asked him ‘What one should do if their husband goes out looking for other women despite being happily married?’

‘In our society, 90% of parents don’t give the right to their daughters to marry according to their will. The issue stems from here. The lack of communication in such marriages led men to look for other women to satisfy their needs.’ He said.

Check out his views about marriage on the podcast below.

Concluding that ‘If both men are women are united in a relationship that is homogeneous instances of infidelity and cheating happen very rarely.’

When asked why women shouldn’t be given the same rights, Khalil ur Rehman said that it is due to their ability to conceive that women should never be allowed to engage in multiple relationships.

‘If you are allowing women to cheat then you must give up the men’s right to marry multiple times.’

Concluding the conversation he said that marriages should be done by the will of both men and women and in such cases there would be very less chances of divorces and breakups.

Huawei’s unexpected release of the Mate 60 Pro in August, featuring an advanced self-developed processor chipset, amplified market concerns. This came amid heightened US-China semiconductor tensions, with the US expanding export control measures against China. The move underscored Huawei’s resilience in developing independent technologies despite restrictive US measures.

Impact of US Sanctions on Huawei

The US sanctions since 2019 significantly impeded Huawei’s technological advancements, particularly in its terminal device business. Supply chain disruptions and limitations on acquiring crucial technology hampered the company’s overall progress, prompting a push towards self-reliance in chip development.

The unveiling of the Kirin 9000S chipset in the Mate 60 Pro, produced by China’s Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC), raised fresh concerns in the US government. This triggered congressional scrutiny, leading to discussions on potentially escalating sanctions against Huawei.

Yu Chengdong’s bold announcement is likely to reignite tensions between the US and Huawei. This could lead to accelerated countermeasures by the US government, potentially obstructing the launch of Huawei’s innovative products, including the evolving HarmonyOS ecosystem.

The Future of HarmonyOS

Despite challenges, Huawei remains committed to advancing the HarmonyOS ecosystem in collaboration with partners. Native applications for HarmonyOS are already in development, with reports hinting at its integration into the PC platform by 2024, promising a diverse range of related products.

Huawei’s promise of disruptive innovation in 2024 signals its determination to push technological boundaries. However, amidst geopolitical tensions, the journey towards realizing these ambitions remains fulll of challenges. The tech world awaits to witness the unveiling of Huawei’s much-anticipated groundbreaking products and their potential impact on the industry.

WhatsApp, the messaging giant known for its commitment to privacy and security, is once again amplifying its focus on safeguarding user information. The latest development sees the global rollout of ‘View Once’ support for voice messages, following its successful beta testing phase on Android and iOS platforms.

Expanding View Once

Initially introduced in 2021 for sending photos and videos, ‘View Once’ allows users to share media that can only be seen once, preventing recipients from saving or taking screenshots. Extending this functionality to voice messages underlines WhatsApp’s dedication to enhancing user control over shared content, although a term like ‘Listen Once’ might have more aptly suited this feature’s voice variant.

Similar to its photo and video counterparts, a ‘View Once’ voice message will be marked with a distinctive “one-time” icon and will automatically vanish from the recipient’s device post-playback. This will apply to voice messages exchanged in individual chats as well as group conversations. These messages will be protected by end-to-end encryption, reinforcing the privacy measures implemented by WhatsApp.

Rollout Details

The deployment of ‘View Once’ voice messages commenced on December 7, aiming to reach WhatsApp users worldwide over the subsequent days. Both mobile and web/PC versions of WhatsApp will receive this feature, empowering users across various platforms to benefit from enhanced privacy controls and confidentiality.

Despite end-to-end encryption, it’s noteworthy that WhatsApp could access these one-time voice messages if reported by users, reflecting the platform’s balance between privacy and accountability.

The Evolution of Secure Communication

WhatsApp’s latest stride in privacy enhancement aligns with its ongoing efforts to fortify user security. As the digital landscape continuously evolves, the integration of such features exemplifies the platform’s adaptability to meet users’ increasing expectations for privacy without compromising usability.

In a world where data privacy is of utmost importance, WhatsApp’s initiative to extend ‘View Once’ to voice messages sets a precedent for seamless communication, granting users heightened control over their shared content while bolstering confidentiality.

As this feature gradually reaches all users globally, it marks a new era of private communication, reshaping how individuals interact and communicate securely across the digital realm.
