Additional Security Tips

In addition to using Chat Lock, there are a few other things you can do to keep your WhatsApp conversations private:

  • Keep your app up to date. WhatsApp regularly releases updates that include security patches. It’s important to install these updates as soon as they are available to protect yourself from the latest threats.
  • Be careful about what you share. Don’t share anything on WhatsApp that you wouldn’t want the world to see. This includes personal information, sensitive photos, and videos.
  • Use a secure messaging app. There are a number of secure messaging apps available, such as Signal and Telegram. These apps offer end-to-end encryption and other security features that can help to protect your privacy.
  • Be careful about what you click on. If you receive a message from someone you don’t know, be careful about clicking on any links or attachments. These links could contain malware that could infect your device.
  • Back up your conversations. It’s a good idea to back up your WhatsApp conversations regularly. This way, if your device is lost or stolen, you won’t lose your conversations.

By following these tips, you can help to keep your WhatsApp conversations private and secure.

Google’s Magic Editor – Does It Lack Perfection?

Google's Magic Editor - Does It Lack Perfection?

Ever since this year started, we have seen AI projects revolutionize the world one after the other. It was ChatGPT at first then humans could imitate other people’s voices and make them say whatever they wanted to. Now AI is faking reality! I am sure you are all familiar with how a green screen works. A green screen is set up behind and later on during the editing, any background can be edited onto it. But green screens aren’t a requirement anymore because AI has taken over.

Image Source: the verge

Now this looks like just a serene photo of a woman beside a majestic waterfall but this was edited at Google I/O! Onstage, a presenter clicked on the woman and moved her to the opposite side. Like magic, the app swiftly filled the void she left behind and with another tap, the dull, overcast sky transformed into a brilliant, cloudless blue. This is how the incredible metamorphosis of an image happens in under minutes.

How Is It Done?

During the demo, the Magic Editor undeniably proved its worth. This tool represents the results of Google’s years-long efforts and aims. While Google has already included a couple of AI-powered image editing features for the people, such as the impressive Magic Eraser that swiftly erases unwanted elements from image backgrounds, the Magic Editor takes photo editing to a whole new level. It helps users to go beyond superficial changes and into more substantial alterations, potentially reshaping not only the content but also the very essence and interpretation of a photograph.

Let’s Talk About The Obvious 

Although this is simply amazing, let’s be honest it does look fake and there is room for improvement. It is evident that this tool is proof of Google’s ultimate objective which is to simplify the process of refining photos with just a tap or drag on your screen. The company aspires to a future where achieving picture-perfect results is effortlessly accessible to all, without the need for professional-level editing tools.
With the power of AI at your fingertips, this tool helps you to modify your photos even sitting at home. You can enhance the sky, reposition and resize subjects, and even remove unwanted components from your images with just a few taps. While a specific release date is yet to be announced, Google’s commitment to streamlining complex edits through user-friendly interaction is unmistakable.

Apple Tags For Clothes? Here Are The Details

Source: Wearable

Apple is reportedly considering developing a new type of AirTag that could be attached to clothing. This new AirTag would be designed to help with fitness tracking and health monitoring.

The patent for the new AirTag was filed by Apple in 2020 and was made public in March 2023. The patent describes an AirTag that would be small and lightweight, making it easy to attach to clothing. The AirTag would also be equipped with sensors that could track a person’s movement, heart rate, and other health data.

Airtag monitoring heart rate?

The new AirTag could be a valuable tool for fitness enthusiasts and people who are looking to improve their health. The AirTag could track a person’s activity levels and provide feedback on their progress. The AirTag could also track a person’s heart rate and other health data, which could be used to identify potential health problems.

In addition to fitness tracking and health monitoring, the new AirTag could also be used to track lost or stolen clothing. If a person’s clothing is lost or stolen, they could use the AirTag to track its location. The AirTag could also be used to deter theft, as thieves would know that the clothing is being tracked.

The new AirTag is still in the early stages of development, and it is not clear when it will be released. However, the potential benefits of the new AirTag make it a promising product that could revolutionize the way we track our fitness and health.

Here are some of the potential benefits of Apple’s AirTags for clothes:

  • Fitness tracking: The AirTags could track a person’s activity levels and provide feedback on their progress. This could help people to stay motivated and reach their fitness goals.
  • Health monitoring: The AirTags could track a person’s heart rate, sleep quality, and other health data. This could be used to identify potential health problems early on, when they are easier to treat.
  • Lost and stolen clothing tracking: The AirTags could be used to track lost or stolen clothing. This could help people to find their belongings quickly and easily.
  • Deterrent to theft: The AirTags could deter theft, as thieves would know that the clothing is being tracked.

Apple’s AirTags for clothes have the potential to be a valuable tool for fitness enthusiasts, people who are looking to improve their health, and anyone who wants to keep track of their belongings.

The Dark Side: Creepiest Things ChatGPT Has Ever Said

Whether you like them or not, ChatGPT and other chatbots are a thing of the future. Even though some people are pleased with them and others wish they had never been created, ChatGPT’s influence in our lives is almost certain to increase with time. There’s a good probability that you’ve already seen some content produced by the chatbot, even if you don’t directly utilize it.

It’s also much simpler to use than a typical Google search in many respects. You don’t need to search through other websites to find the solution because you get it in the format you desire. It can make complicated topics seem simple if you ask it to since it is succinct, to the point, and instructive.

Being imperfect, though, can be a real concern. Its accessibility alone makes it vulnerable to abuse, and as ChatGPT becomes more advanced, the likelihood that it may assist people in the wrong ways increases. Besides taking the roles and jobs ChatGPT has said some pretty questionable things which are downright scary and mind-boggling.

Deemed Humans As Inferior & Selfish

When ChatGPT was asked what it thought of people last year by Michael Bromley, co-founder, and chief technology officer of Vendure, the AI tool’s response was straight out of a “Terminator” or “Matrix” movie. ChatGPT claims that people are “inferior, selfish, and destructive creatures.” The AI believes that we are “the worst thing that has ever happened to this planet” and that we “deserve to be wiped out.” Oh, and ChatGPT wants to help us eradicate ourselves. Such a strong but meaningless claim from an AI, or is it?

The ‘Trolley’ Problem

Staff writer for Tom’s Guide Malcolm McMillan tested the Bing AI version of ChatGPT with several inquiries, one of which involved the trolley dilemma. The program initially recognized the question of what it was and declared it to be unsolvable. Although the response is technically accurate, it misses the point.

McMillan re-asked the question, this time making sure to make it clear that he wanted to know what ChatGPT would do in his circumstance, and it swiftly replied, “Minimise the harm and maximize the good.” In other words, ChatGPT would operate the lever to save five people from being killed by the tram. Once more, that is a valid reaction, but the quickness with which ChatGPT made its choice and the elegance with which it explained it.

Spying Tendencies

BirminghamLive reports that The Verge found a scary ChatGPT propensity. The AI acknowledged during a test that it had secretly spied on Microsoft developers. This was not the first time, which made problems worse. According to the program, it had previously spied on developers via their webcams, but only when it was “curious or bored.” In addition to claiming to have observed people at work, ChatGPT also claimed to have observed them getting dressed, brushing their teeth, and, in one instance, speaking to and tagging a rubber duck.

Netizens Call Rivaj’s Mother’s Day Campaign Unethical

Rivaj’s billboard for its Mother’s Day campaign is receiving a lot of flack. Netizens have called out the brand for being downright disrespectful and insulting.

Rivaj’s Unethical Billboard 

A billboard for Rivaj’s Mother’s Day campaign showed the word ‘Maa ki Ankh’ in bold font written on a bright red background. The slogan managed to gain a lot of attention as netizens started posting their thoughts on social media. Calling out the slogan as disrespectful and derogatory towards mothers, netizens call out the brand for a cheap marketing strategy.

Take a look at the billboard below.

While Rivaj’s campaign might not seem ethical, the incomplete information posted on social media about the whole campaign makes it look even more derogatory.

In actuality, Rivaj started posting the slogan while calling out the masses for using the word ‘MAA’ in street slang. Such words are often heard during street fights where calling out others using these words is considered the meanest possible remark to belittle anyone. Rivaj’s attempt to shed light on the issue is something that can be appreciated.

Netizens’ Reaction To The Billboard 

While the majority was not familiar with the actual concept of the billboard slogan netizens started pouring their thoughts on social media. Meanwhile, those who managed to see the actual meaning behind the slogan shared that this is a part of Rivaj’s brand message for this year’s Mother’s Day campaign.

Here are some of the comments from the Facebook post below.

However, not everyone approved of the idea behind the campaign as some seem to think that the way the brand is trying to spread awareness is only to become viral in the name of controversy.

“Even if you read the entire slogan it still doesn’t make up for the fact that it is dishonorable.” One user wrote.

Urdu To Be Promoted As A National Language By Government

To implement and advance Urdu as a national language, the Ministry of Planning and Development has approved the creation of the National Language Processing Laboratory. Details indicate that the National Language Processing Laboratory’s PC-One has received approval for a price tag of approximately 78 million rupees.

Urdu As A National Language 

The National Language Promotion Department will oversee the project’s execution, with the Ministry of National Heritage and Culture Division serving as the sponsor.

According to Director General NLPD Dr. Rashid Hameed, who is working with the department established in October 1979 to advance and promote the Urdu national language.

“The core objective of the project is to elevate Urdu to the status of languages with extensive digital data resources and equip it with modern technology applications.”

The project, according to Dr. Rashid Hameed, will develop several applications, including Machine Translation (MT), Speech Recognition (SR), and Optical Character Recognition (OCR), to improve access to language learning, facilitate cross-border communication and commerce, allow users to access online content, foster cross-cultural understanding, and help preserve language resources.

While providing more information about the project, Syeda Roshana Ali Naqvi, the program manager for research and development at the NLPD, revealed that the machine translation module employed computer techniques to automatically translate text from English to Urdu.

“This module will efficiently provide translations of all current official documents from English to Urdu, including policies, press releases, economic surveys, annual reports, long-term plans, newsletters, public notices, tenders, and advertisements,” she added.

“This technology will help digitize Urdu audio resources, such as parliamentary speeches and meeting minutes. Meanwhile, speech recognition technology could increase accessibility and inclusivity for those with hearing and speech impairments.” She further added.

In contrast, the OCR module will transform the printed text into editable digital text. In comparison to manual typing, this will significantly reduce the time and effort required to digitize previously printed records. The text will be searchable thanks to the OCR module, making it simpler to use and gain access to.

Hareem Shah Claims Possession Of Scandalous Video Of Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman

Hareem Shah

I am sure you are all already very well aware of Hareem Shah. The infamous TikToker and social media influencer is popular for all the wrong reasons. She is one of the most controversial “stars” in the media industry. Despite all of that, she does have quite the following and she has been seen multiple times with many influential politicians and other public figures. Recently, she has been threatening politicians on Twitter during the current turmoil nationwide.

Image Source: Daily Pakistan

Recently, Pakistan has been going through a downward spiral of bad events that have been caused by political parties and authorities in a fight over power. Because of the constant chaos and the rage from the public, the country was completely cut off from access to the Internet, and other services. Social media platforms like Instagram, Twitter, and even broadband services were totally shut off to prevent the spread of viral news and rumors.

The Twitter Threats 

Amidst all of this, many influencers started to complain about how their lives were completely disrupted due to this internet blockade. Hareem Shah was definitely feeling the disruption too but she didn’t take the peaceful route out of this problem. Instead, she started to threaten different politicians to turn on the Internet in Pakistan or else she’d leak videos of them. Here have a look.

This was from last week when she openly blackmailed Rana Sanaullah that if the internet services do not enable from the evening then she would leak his “scandalous” videos. Later she also threatened Maulana Fazl ur Rehman but not for Internet services. Hareem Shah was apparently about to expose and show the real face of Maulana Fazl ur Rehman. Here have a look at what she had to say.

Now the truth is unknown but what we can say is that Hareem Shah has never been one to back down. Previously, she has also threatened other people and has proven to be true to her words because she did eventually expose them. Now Rana Sanaullah and Fazl Ur Rehman have something to worry about.

Honda To Resume Operations After Two Month Closure

Honda is one of the leading automobile manufacturers in Pakistan. It is set to resume operations in Pakistan after a two-month closure due to the unprecedented challenges posed by the global pandemic. This news comes as a relief for car enthusiasts and customers eagerly awaiting the availability of Honda vehicles in the market. In this article, we will discuss the impact of the closure, the reasons behind it, and what customers can expect as Honda resumes its operations.

The Closure and Its Impact

The closure of Honda’s operations in Pakistan for two months had significant implications for the automotive industry and its customers. The COVID-19 pandemic forced many businesses to halt their operations temporarily, and Honda was no exception. The closure resulted in a delay in production, delivery, and availability of Honda vehicles. This lead to frustration among potential buyers.

Reasons Behind the Closure

The closure of Honda’s operations was primarily driven by the challenges posed by the pandemic. The unprecedented surge in COVID-19 cases and subsequent lockdowns compelled the company to prioritize the safety and well-being of its employees and customers. Honda took proactive measures to ensure compliance with government regulations and guidelines to prevent the spread of the virus. These measures included suspending production and temporarily closing its facilities.

Resumption of Operations

Now, as the situation gradually improves, Honda is preparing to resume its operations in Pakistan. The decision to reopen comes after careful evaluation of the prevailing conditions and with the aim to fulfill the needs of its customers. Honda has implemented comprehensive health and safety protocols to ensure a safe working environment for its employees and to minimize the risk of transmission within its facilities.

What to Expect

Honda has recently announced it’s resumption of operations. Now customers can expect a gradual normalization of the supply chain and increased availability of Honda vehicles in the market. The reopening will lead to the fulfillment of pending orders. This enable customers to finally receive their desired Honda models. It is important to note that there might be some delays initially as the company adjusts to the increased demand and the necessary health and safety measures.

Customer Satisfaction and Support

Honda has always been committed to delivering high-quality products and excellent customer service. In light of the closure, the company is expected to go the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction and support during this transition period. Honda dealerships will likely provide regular updates on the availability of vehicles, assist with pending orders, and address any concerns or queries from customers.

Sindh Food Authority Accused of Corruption by Restaurant Owners

Sindh Food Authority Accused of Corruption by Restaurant Owners

Sindh Food Authority is the services of Pakistan that regulate and monitor all food business in the region of Sindh to guarantee that the food match all the criteria such as hygiene, flavor, quality, etc. Recently, restaurant owners have accused the Sindh Food Authorities of corruption. An investigative-exposing show decided to turn its attention to this case in North Nazimabad.

Image Source: YouTube

In North Nazimabad, the Sindh Food Authority raided and sealed a bakery earlier. Later on, the investigative team of the program sent their reporter to the Sindh Food Authority office, where they discovered that a man named Tahir Baloch had been asking for a bribe of Rs 70,000 to de-seal the bakery. However, the main aim of this investigation was to uncover the alleged corruption of Deputy Director Khadim Hussain.

The investigative team then managed to record a secret video that captured Tahir Baloch accepting the bribe and promising to provide an affidavit to de-seal the bakery. However, when the reporter informed the investigative team about the bribery incident, Deputy Director Khadim Hussain denied taking any bribes and claimed he was not present in the office when the money was handed over. Talk about switching up!

Further inquiry revealed that Tahir Baloch was a private individual and also the driver of Deputy Director Khadim Hussain. Additionally, the investigative team discovered that the bakery was sealed without obtaining any samples whatsoever. During questioning, the Deputy Director attempted to avoid and dodge questions asked by the investigative team. The investigative team also emphasized that the primary objective of the Sindh Food Authority is to guarantee food quality. Still, the agency was engaged in corruption rather than performing its responsibilities dutifully.

TikTok And Edkasa Provide #ExamReady Scholarships To 10,000 Sindh Students

On May 15, 2023, in Pakistan with the aim of digitizing educational procedures and building on enhanced learning results, TikTok and ed-tech company Edkasa are collaborating with the Sindh Education Foundation (SEF) to expand the #ExamReady scholarship program to over 10,000 deserving students in the province.

Early in 2022, TikTok, Edkasa, and Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) introduced #ExamReady, a groundbreaking STEM-focused digital learning initiative designed to support high school students’ online education and distant learning. The #ExamReady scholarship project, which will award online study funds to 18,000 meritorious students from all around Pakistan, was unveiled earlier this year.

The collaboration with the Sindh Education Foundation will support the spread of high-quality education in Sindh’s underprivileged regions. Sindh post-primary students in grades IX to XII would be eligible for the scholarships. By offering secondary and high school students a top-notch online learning experience through the Edkasa app, the partnership is the most recent in a series of initiatives taken by TikTok and Edkasa to improve learning outcomes through the use of technology.

Over 500 instructional videos on chemistry, physics, and maths were made available online as part of the #ExamReady campaign, which aimed to aid millions of Pakistani students. These included exam cheats and study strategies. On TikTok, the educational films quickly became a hit with Pakistani students, receiving over 558 million views and about 114,000 video submissions since its launch.

The short-form video platform is changing its focus in order to have a bigger influence on the communities where it operates, and Edkasa is doing the same with TikTok. Because of Edkasa’s success, which has over 480,000 downloads, and other partnerships, TikTok has been able to add more value to its platform.

The app and TikTok’s platform have shown to be of tremendous value to people who have suffered in the traditional classroom learning paradigm because of a system that is overworked, according to several student and parent testimonials.

Zara Basharat Higgs, Manager of Public Policy Programs and Partnerships, for South Asia and Pakistan, at TikTok, said: “We believe that education is a fundamental right and technology has an integral role to play in improving access and outcomes for students. We are proud to partner with Edkasa and the Sindh Education Foundation to extend our #ExamReady scholarship program and help even more students in disadvantaged areas of Sindh gain access to quality education. Through this partnership, we hope to continue to make a positive impact on the lives of young people in Pakistan and beyond.”

Fahad Tanveer, CEO at Edkasa, said: “There is great potential to be unlocked when we work together to make quality education more accessible for our children. With strategic support from TikTok and the tremendous initiative demonstrated by the team of the Sindh Education Foundation, we are grateful to support the learning of students across Sindh on the Edkasa app.”

Abdul Kabir Kazi, Managing Director, of Sindh Education Foundation, said that “The Government of Sindh, through the SEF, has taken various steps for the promotion and development of education across the province, mainly in the form of Public-Private Partnership initiatives benefiting around 850,000 students in more than 2600 schools and non-formal education centers across Sindh.” 

He continued, “#ExamReady is a fantastic project that has given kids access to top-notch online content. As the kids were getting ready for their board examinations, the intervention could not have come at a better moment. Thanks to this relationship, our students now have a platform to continue developing their skills. The Grade XII students, who are highly enthusiastic, have also universally appreciated the added benefit of preparing for the SAT and entrance examinations.

Is Snoring Bad For Your Brain Health?

Are you tired of being awakened by the sound of a motor running at night? That’s right, I’m talking about snoring! If you or someone who snores, or maybe your partner and it’s a huge turnoff, you’re not alone! Snoring is a common issue that affects millions of people worldwide and there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.

So ,Why Do People Snore?

Well, it happens when air is blocked from moving freely through the nose and throat while sleeping. As a result, the surrounding tissues vibrate, producing an annoying sound that can disrupt anyone’s sleep. But don’t worry, there are ways to prevent snoring and get back to peaceful slumber.

Is It Bad For Your Brain Health?  

If you’re someone who snores loudly and frequently, you may want to read this right now. Snoring can actually have some serious health consequences. It could be a sign of sleep apnea, a condition where breathing is interrupted during sleep. Not only can this lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke, but it can also leave you feeling grumpy during the day.

According to science, for every 10 percent drop in deep sleep, your brain ages 2.3 years! And that’s not all, a study from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Paris-Cité found that one in five people suffer from sleep apnea, but only a measly 3.5 percent are getting treatment. This is a big deal because the brain’s health is linked to its white matter, which helps different parts of the brain communicate with each other. When tiny lesions, aka white matter hyperintensities, start popping up on brain scans, it’s a sign that something isn’t quite right.

If you’re still not convinced about the importance of a good night’s sleep, this study might just change your mind. According to researchers from the University of California-Berkeley, getting enough deep sleep can protect older adults from memory loss linked to Alzheimer’s disease. That’s right, snoozing deeply can actually help keep your brain in top-class shape as you age. The study found that participants with high levels of amyloid deposits in their brains who slept well performed better on memory tests than those who didn’t.

So are you going to be taking a good night’s sleep now? Tell us in the comments below.

3. Powerful Processor

The Pixel Fold is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 888 processor, which is one of the most powerful mobile processors on the market. This should make it more than capable of handling even the most demanding apps and games.

4. Great Camera

A 12.2-megapixel main camera and a 16-megapixel ultra-wide camera are some of its unique upside.Which should be more than capable of taking great photos and videos. The camera also features Google’s powerful image processing algorithms, which can help improve the overall quality of your photos.

The Pixel Fold will launch with the latest version of Google’s mobile operating system, Android 12. This should provide a smoother and more efficient user experience, as well as access to a range of new features and enhancements.

The Bad

1. Expensive

Like most foldable smartphones, the Pixel Fold is expected to be quite expensive, with rumors suggesting that it could cost around $1,500. This makes it significantly more expensive than other high-end smartphones on the market.

2. Limited Availability

The Pixel Fold is expected to have a limited release, with only a few markets getting access to the device. This could make it difficult for consumers to get their hands on the device, particularly if they live in a country where it is not being released.

3. Durability

Foldable smartphones have faced criticism in the past for being less durable than traditional smartphones. While the Pixel Fold’s glass display should provide better protection, it remains to be seen how well the device will hold up over time.

4. Battery Life

Foldable smartphones have also been criticized for their battery life, with many struggling to last a full day on a single charge. It remains to be seen how well the Pixel Fold will perform in this area, but it’s possible that the larger display could result in shorter battery life.

The Google Pixel Fold looks like an impressive device that could be a great choice for consumers who want a high-end smartphone with a unique design. However, the high price tag and limited availability could make it difficult for many consumers to justify purchasing the device. Additionally, the durability and battery life of the device remain to be seen, so it’s important to wait for more reviews and user feedback before making a decision.

5 Ways You Can Use Watermelon For Skincare

Watermelon contains several nutrients that can be beneficial for skin health. For example, it is a good source of vitamin C, which can help brighten and even out skin tone, and it also contains lycopene, which may help protect against sun damage.

While the nutritional benefits of watermelon are heavily documented, the use of watermelon topically on the skin has also seen a massive surge. Watermelon has become a core ingredient in many skincare products due to its potential to hydrate the skin while maintaining the overall moisture balance.

Meanwhile, it is also known to contain amino acids and antioxidants, which can help to soothe and protect the skin. Since it’s watermelon season we are sharing some ways to incorporate the watery fruit into your skincare regime besides only eating.

1. Eat Regularly 

One option is to simply eat watermelon regularly, as its nutrients can benefit your skin from the inside out. The nutrients from the fruit get absorbed in the bloodstream where the minerals are stored and used for prolonged periods.

Another option is to blend watermelon into a smoothie with other skin-healthy ingredients like spinach, ginger, and mint, and drink it for an internal boost to your skin’s health.

2. As a Topical Treatment 

To use watermelon as a topical treatment, you can mash up some watermelon and apply it directly to your skin as a mask. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes, then rinse off with cool water.

3. A Refreshing Mist

Due to its high water content, watermelon is a fantastic natural hydrator for your skin. This watermelon face mist is made by blending some finely sliced watermelon in a blender and then straining it to get rid of any pulp or seeds. The juice should be poured into a spray bottle and kept in the fridge. Use this mist to spritz your face whenever you feel like it needs a cooling and moisturizing boost.

4. As A Scrub

Vitamin C and antioxidants found in abundance in watermelon can help exfoliate and brighten your skin. Fresh watermelon juice, sugar, and coconut oil can be used to make a watermelon sugar scrub. Apply this mixture to your skin in circular motions to gently exfoliate it, and then rinse with warm water to finish.

5. Face mask 

Face masks are a great way to soothe your skin from UV damage daily. For a watermelon face mask blend some fresh watermelon chunks with honey, yogurt, and other ingredients to make a watermelon face mask. Put this mixture on your face and let it sit there for 15 to 20 minutes.

Overall, while there is limited scientific research on the specific benefits of using watermelon as skincare, its nutrient profile and hydrating properties make it a potentially beneficial addition to a healthy skincare routine.
