NFTs have taken the world by storm. Be it the fashion world, wall street, or the corporate sector, everything is now being NFT-ified. While you may or may not be aware of the concept yet, USA is going above and beyond with the metaverse creation. New York has become the first place to get NFT vending machines. Here’s what you need to know:
Near the infamous Wall Street in New York City, an NFT platform brought something interesting. They just set up the city’s first non-fungible token vending machine. Yes, now vending machines will no longer give you food or toiletries. Get up to speed!
Buying #NFT becomes as easy as shopping at the grocery store. @neon_gallery, a convenience store built on the #Solana blockchain, New York is advancing an NFT ATM that can be considered the “world’s first NFT vending machine.” pic.twitter.com/ARnttlvx4x
The American company Neon that brought this initiative to life is an NFT marketplace. It is also a gallery built on the Solana blockchain. The company is known to be one of the fastest and most environmentally friendly in its sector.
So how does the vending machine work? The idea is basically that all passers-by can get their NFTs using their normal credit cards.
What Is The Reason Behind It?
This platform wanted to democratize access to NFTs. Before such initiatives, NFTs could be only accessible to the elite or the ultra-technologically capable people. This vending machine by the Neon crypto startup brings it to everyone.
Image Source: The Guardian
Their mission is to set up NFT ATMs in the entire Manhattan Financial District. This also ensures that you do not need a cryptocurrency wallet to purchase an NFT.
The process is simple. Once you decide which one you want, you can insert your card. You will then receive a box containing a unique code with which you can “activate” your NFT. If you would like to get more, know that the ATM will be open for 24 hours.

The Larger Purpose
This vending machine also does a lot more than just make NFTs accessible. It allows young artists and designers to make money from their work. By allowing purchase from normal and accessible forms of payment, the NFTs become more popular in the mainstream.

Lahore, February 28, 2022: – OPPO recently launched its latest family of flagship smartphones, the Find X5 Series, marking another decisive step into the high-end market for the leading smartphone brand. The new addition to the Find X Series is the first smartphone series to be powered by OPPO’s MariSilicon X imaging NPU and other industry-leading features. With its futuristic design, seamless ceramic back panel, and premium International Warranty Service, every aspect of the Find X5 Series has been tailored to deliver the best possible user experience.
“At OPPO INNO DAY 2021, we announced our brand proposition of ‘Inspiration Ahead’, defining our commitment to constantly redraw the boundaries of the smartphone experience to make life better for everyone, regardless of the challenges and uncertainties faced,” said William Liu, Vice President and President of Global Marketing at OPPO. “With the Find X5 Series, we have raised the bar for flagship smartphones in terms of style and performance, while never stopping in our exploration of new possibilities.”
Taking the end-to-end smartphone experience to the next level
The OPPO Find X5 Series raises the bar for flagship smartphone performance across the board with OPPO’s best-ever technology, product experience, and customer service.
MariSilicon X — OPPO’s recently-unveiled self-designed imaging NPU — makes its debut on the Find X5 Series. The NPU and its advanced in-house algorithms, including AINR, deliver a leap in computational photography performance. With MariSilicon X, the Find X5 Series is the first flagship smartphone series capable of capturing clear 4K Ultra Night Video that can rival what is seen by the human eye. Following its long-held mission to bring both natural and professional colors to smartphone imaging, OPPO has joined hands with Hasselblad to bring its Natural Color Calibration to the Find X5 Series, empowering users to unlock more emotive moments.
Elsewhere, many of OPPO’s breakthrough innovations can be found on the Find X5 Series. OPPO’s upgraded 360° Smart Antenna 3.0 ensures stable connectivity, with greater signal strength and range than other models. The series also features enhanced Flash Charging technology for faster charging, while a multi-tier cooling system ensures smooth overall performance and efficient dissipation.
Beyond the phone itself, OPPO has turned its attention to the entire customer experience. Find X5 Series owners will have access to OPPO’s premium International Warranty Service, which can be used at over 2,500 service centers in 62 countries and regions worldwide.
A standout flagship, driven by OPPO’s human-centric insights
Guided by OPPO’s brand mission “Technology for Mankind, Kindness for the World”, the Find X5 Series represents OPPO’s pursuit of human-centric product features and designs aimed at improving the day-to-day lives of its users.
The design of the Find X5 Series reflects every aspect of the user experience. Built with advanced manufacturing technology, the curved and continuous ceramic back panel is anti-fingerprint and comfortable to hold while also providing greater protection and heat dissipation.
OPPO’s thoughtful consideration of its users is also manifested in ColorOS 12.1, which includes features such as the O Relax digital relaxation suite and Color Vision Enhancement for those who perceive color differently or have color vision impairments.
With the new Find X5 Series, OPPO is breaking new ground in technological innovation and human-centric user experience in the high-end market while sticking to its core values — a trait that OPPO will maintain as it continues to explore new possibilities in technology and products that help make life better for users worldwide.

Aamir Liaquat has taken a dig at his first wife yet again, and the post is going viral on social media for all the wrong reasons.
Aamir Liaquat’s Latest Post
If there is one thing Aamir Liaquat is good at, it is how to stir controversy again his ex-wives. The TV host has been at it time and again ever since he got married for the second time to Tuba Anwar. Recently, he posted a picture on his social media calling out his first wife for sharing a hashtag with her son’s name.
“My son #ahmedaamirsonofaamir, but you will not see this hashtag because his mother grew up with this tag #ahmedaamirsonofbushraaamir. Now you can imagine the mental creation. No one in this world can claim that ‘she is Hazrat Maryam’ without man. Women cannot be able to be called herself a ‘Mother’. That’s all.” He captioned the post.
The statement isn’t just insensible but also wrong on so many levels. Being an Islamic scholar, how can someone use an Islamic occasion to compare it to their misery? Moreover, women all over the world who are single and raising kids are doing it all without a man in their lives. So, apparently, it isn’t impossible.
The MNA and popular host have two children with his first wife, Syeda Bushra. At the same time, the kids have asked the public to refrain from commenting on their personal lives.
What are your thoughts on the above statement? Let us know in the comments below.

While the metaverse, bitcoin, and NFT are all the rage, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it is for you. Until and unless you understand what is about, these terms certainly are not to be played around with. And if you plan to dive into the world extensive research is needed. However, a Pakistani brand didn’t seem to understand the market behind metaverse as they name their latest collection.
Bareeze has launched its spring/summer ready-to-wear collection 2022. The line features kurta in the perfectly curated color palatte with modern silhouettes. However, the campaign’s design and name seem very irrelevant and do not even begin to make sense.
The collection is launched under the name ‘Metaverse Ready.’ While the metaverse is a buzz word it doesn’t mean it sits well with everything.
Brands like Gucci, Nike, and Adidas have hopped on the trend to open their outlets in the metaverse. It is uncommon for a Pakistani brand to do the same but if Bareeze is moving in the same direction then they better hurry. However, if this is just an attempt to create a viral marketing campaign then they sure have succeeded.
Netizens have been wondering if Bareeze knows what metaverse means which is quite impossible. At the same time, comments are pouring in that how the brand is just being plain stupid in the name of creativity.
“It is simply a copy put together to seem relevant with no contextual understanding. Either that or it is just a very vague way of launching a collection called metaverse.” One user wrote.
The 3D virtual world has caused quite a stir on social media. However, even the people who talk about it almost don’t even understand the concept clearly. It isn’t just a fancy term used for clout, it is a whole new world and the ones who understand it only can benefit from it the most.

Apple is working on a foldable iPad/MacBook hybrid with a large 20-inch display. Mark Gurman, a reporter with an impressive track record reports the news.
The tech giant is looking at the idea of making a dual-screen, foldable MacBook/iPad hybrid that would use “one side of the display serving as a virtual keyboard,” according to Gurman’s unnamed source.
Without the virtual keyboard, the device would perform like a giant iPad that can be folded for greater portability, or when one half of the display offers sufficient space for the user to perform their desired task.
The iPad/MacBook Hybrid
The next foldable device of Apple will be an iPad and iMac hybrid that will help in the portability of a massive display for users’ needs. The device would most likely stow or fold into the size of a 10-inch iPad, which is the regular size of its classic variant, and would unfold to a massive display of as much as 20 inches like the iMac.
However, it is yet unknown if the display will be a Mac or an iPad with a touch screen.
According to the sources, the anticipated device will not be released anytime soon. Since the projected time frame is later than 2025, the device could come out in 2026 or 2027.
Gurman reports that iPad/MacBook hybrid might be released at around the same time as the Apple car and Apple AR glasses. Fans are advised to wait for more updates about these gadgets.

It’s a new year, and people are hungry for more Apple gadgets. Fear not, Cupertino will likely not disappoint in that arena; rumors point to a March event with a refreshed iPhone and iPad, as well as upgraded MacBooks.
Apple has held an event in the Spring of each year for a good long time now. Its early-year events have become a key part of its yearly product release cycle.
The rumored date for the Apple Spring event is March 8, this comes according to noted high-profile insider Mark Gurman. Mark Gurman is the authority on Apple’s plans, so if anyone knows when this event will take place before the official announcement, it will be him.
Spring Apple Event
The event is expected to at least include the announcement of updated versions of the iPhone SE and the iPad Air.
The new iPhone SE has been repeatedly rumored to look the same as the iPhone SE from 2020. It looks very similar to the iPhone 8, but it will add the A15 Bionic chip, an improved rear camera, and 5G connectivity.
The new iPad Air is also expected to feature a newer A-series chip and 5G connectivity, with no major design changes. At least one new Mac with Apple-designed chips could also be introduced at the event. Meanwhile, the rumors have suggested that this might be the Mac mini.
The iOS 15.4 and iPadOS 15.4 updates may be tied to the March event and the launch of new devices, so it is plausible that the update could be released in the first half of March.
The March event won’t see the launch of the iPhone 14. We’ll have to wait until September for that. Next month’s event will focus on an update to Apple’s budget smartphone, the iPhone SE.
The March event is expected to be streamed digitally only, rather than be held with an in-person audience. Instead of the other Apple events that have taken place over the past two years. It will likely be followed later this year by WWDC, where Apple will introduce new software, and several keynote events later in the year.

Another year, another new version of iOS. With the release of the new update of Apple some big features will totally change the way you use your iPhone. But like all new iOS releases, iOS 15 also comes with a bunch of tiny changes, little hidden features and tweaks that you won’t even notice if you don’t know where to look.
Sometimes, it’s those little changes that make all the difference. Once discovered, you’ll wonder how you got along without them. Here are some of our favorite little, hidden features, you might have missed.
1. Translate Anywhere
With iOS 15, you can translate text just about anywhere. In almost any app where you can select text. Just tap and hold on a block of text to show the text selection window and drag the start and end points just as you would if you were going to copy/paste. You’ll notice the little popup menu has a new Translate option (in some apps you might have to hit the right arrow to see more options).
You’ll get a warning that the text is going to be sent to Apple to process the translation. Tap Continue and a pop-up card will show the translated text and give you options to copy the translation, change languages, and so on.

2. Share with Siri
Sometimes, it’s a pain to share that cool thing you found online. You have to copy URLs or images, switch to Messages, hold down to paste, hope it works With iOS 15, you can finally just ask Siri. Simply say “Hey Siri, share this with [name]” or something similar like “send this to [name]” and Siri will share the content on the screen to that person using Messages.
Items like images, web pages, Apple Music or Podcasts, Apple News stories, and Maps locations will share the actual content or a link to it. For content Siri can’t share, it will warn you that it can only send a screenshot but Siri will still automatically take that screenshot and drop it in a Message to that person.
You’ve been able to change the system-wide text size for ages, but iOS 15 adds the ability to change the text size on a per-app basis.
First, enable the feature in Control Center. Open Settings, then tap Control Center and scroll down to add the Text Size control.
Then when you’re in an app, open Control Center and select the Text Size control. A big slider lets you change text size, while a toggle at the bottom of the screen lets you choose between All Apps or just the app you’re currently using.

5. Scan Text Anywhere
Apple’s new Live Text feature lets you select text in images from the Camera or Photos app, which can be really handy. Even better, you can use this technology to input text almost anywhere.
In any text entry field, in almost any app, just tap to bring up the text selection pop-up (just as you would when doing a copy/paste). If no text is selected, you’ll see an option to Scan Text with a small icon of square brackets with lines inside. If there are multiple options, you might see the icon alone.
Select that, and the keyboard will be replaced by a camera view. Point it at a block of text on almost anything, and you’ll see brackets around the text with a big blue Insert button. You might see instructions like “slow down” if you’re moving the camera too quickly.

5. Adjust Video Playback Speed
Apps like YouTube have had variable speed playback for some time now, but the default iPhone video player has not. In iOS 15, the default player (used for many web videos and by lots of apps) has playback speed controls.
When playing back a video, tap the overflow menu in the lower right of the three dots and you’ll be able to select from up to five different playback speeds.

Gucci is a powerhouse luxury brand and Adidas is the leading sportswear brand: could both work together? The two biggest brands have indeed come together for a collaboration and it has knocked expectations out of the park. Have a look at the collab, the concept behind and what people have to say about it here:
Gucci unveiled its collaboration with Adidas at the Milan Fashion Week 2022 for the next fall and winter. The creative director of Gucci said that this collaboration was “his longtime hidden desire.” That is precisely because stripes are so central to Gucci’s aesthetic but it is for Adidas too.
i still can’t believe that gucci x adidas is actually happening
This is all the more exciting and big because it is the first time Gucci unveiled a new collection on a runway since the pandemic began.
What Does It Include?
The collaboration has tracksuits, shoes, bags, knitwear and the list goes on. Amongst men’s suits, there are shades of royal blue and purple with the Adidas stripes down the sleeves and trousers with Gucci’s logo too.
Image Source: Twitter
There was a lot of choice for women too. Think of a dual-brand corset over an athletic-style dress. Stylish jogging suits made out of luxe patterned knitwear material. As always, it can’t be Gucci if there are no kitten heels.
Image Source: Twitter
In addition to this, the accessories did not lack either. Amongst headgear, there were swimming caps with the Adidas logo or double-billed baseball caps. The prime ingredient in all of these is how both the brands clash and coalesce.
The concept of the collaboration behind this was shown also by the structure. The showroom was embedded with mirrors through which the CD wanted to show the multiplicity of fashion. The idea was to make one item so glamorous yet so easy-to-wear with everything. Fashion is that which can be lived in!
Image Source: Twitter
Another super interesting facet of the collaboration was the fluidity of gender. Both the brands created items that could not be attributed to one gender only. It was appropriate for all and could be rocked by anyone who simply had the bucks and guts. Suits especially were where this dynamic aesthetic was brought home.

TikToker Sehar Hayat was exposed with facts! The owner shows the world all the CCTV footage in which you can see the model decked head to toe, ready for a shoot.
Apparently, the TikToker gets angry only because she was asked to start the shoot. Later, she is seen filming more TikToks at Kashee’s with her friend. All this is being reported with the footage in which the time can also be seen. Have a look at her:
People are not interested. Period. They do not want to hear about Sehar Hayat’s fake complaints but they also do not want to hear about the owner of Kashee’s side. People are simply irritated and done to death with these small scandals that get so messy.
Here’s more: many actually think the two are colliding. People’s theory suggests that they are working together and all this is so both the parties get more fame. Have a look at the comments and decide for yourself:

Promotional messages and campaigns have a knack for catching publicity. However, not all campaigns meet the eye in a good way and some are left being meme-worthy material. A similar promotional message by a food company is going viral on social media for all the wrong reasons.
Kaybees’ Latest Campaign
A new promotional message is doing rounds on social media and needless to say the copywriter had major guts and no brain to do a little research. The promotional message isn’t just blah but also wrong on so many levels. Needless to say, it’s marketing for noobs and the pros are left bawling their eyes out.
Fancy taking a look? Take a look at the promotional message dropping in the netizen’s inbox.
The message was ended with a #staytuned and #bigdealontuesday implying that the new deal will be available for Tuesdays only.
While the majority might have gotten the reference, the measure is still questionable as to what the writer meant. Is this just an act of throwing a word to make the statement look fancy or does it has something to do with the deal for four? In any case, the choice of word is inappropriate and a better alternative could’ve worked better.
Netizens React To The Message
If there is anything better than the original message it’s the netizens’ reviews and comments on the post. While some wondered about whether the writer is a newbie or not. Others commented how someone should have told him to use proper tools for a better understanding.
Take a look at some of the comments below.

“Hitting with a good pun,” one user wrote.
“Timing and location for the deal please,” another wrote. If there is something netizens are good at, it is to make fun of every little thing possible.
Life happens and so does mistakes. However, the question is whether this one is small enough to turn a blind eye?

Pakistan is becoming quite a diverse industry when it comes to automobiles. A while back, we may not have imagined the country having so many brands. Now, there are many cars even being manufactured on a local level. The country is rising fast and developing at a swift rate. However, some cars are often overlooked and are underrated. While they have good specifications, they barely make the news! Today, we take a look at some of these cars.
1. Faw V2
If we look at the hatchback cars of today, this can be considered underrated. It is not as heard of as the other counterparts of different brands. Additionally, the car has seen quite a lot of good days. The car features a front-wheel-drive system, packed with a 13000cc engine. For a hatchback, this is an impressive feature. The price of its latest model is between Rs.15.7 lac to Rs.16.1 lac. However, older models are being sold between Rs.10 lac and Rs.13 lac in used condition.

2. Hyundai Santro
While the car itself saw a lot of success in the early and mid-2000s, it went underground after that. One could say its peak was during those years but that doesn’t mean the cars in production were bad. Its facelift release was alongside the new Toyota Vitz so it got overshadowed at the time. Today, you can pick one up in used condition for a little over Rs.4 lac. Its 1000cc engine can still deliver power. It even has enough space to fit the whole family.

3. Suzuki Baleno
This is one of the cars that is now considered underrated. One of the reasons is because a lot of new sedans are on the market now. However, the Suzuki Baleno is definitely one that can give competition. To have a sedan with a 13000cc engine feels like a dream. Additionally, it has a good fuel average when it comes to driving on the highway. It certainly deserves more appreciation. One can buy these in used condition, starting from Rs.5 lac to Rs.6 lac.

4. Faw X-PV:
This is a multi-purpose vehicle that has risen to quite a height. However, due to other MPVs, it has gone quite underrated compared to other cars. It certainly has enough storage space and comfortable seats for the whole family. With front-wheel drive and a 1000cc engine, the vehicle can give a good fuel average. Additionally, it is cheaper than its counterparts, between Rs.12.7 lac and Rs.13.5 lac.

5. Suzuki Margalla:
The writer of this article has always been a fan of the design of this car. One of the main reasons is because the chassis of the car was first imported from Japan. However, they later decided to manufacturer it locally between 1992 to 1998. Packed with a 1300cc engine, this is one of the most underrated cars of any era. It can now be bought at a price between Rs.3 lac and Rs.5 lac.

Karachi, Thursday, February 24, 2022: Almost a year ago, Spotify – the world’s most popular streaming platform, entered the Pakistani market with a commitment to help local artists reach new fans and build careers, both at home and abroad, through its tools and features that enable artist discovery. 365 days later, Spotify is celebrating its first anniversary by unveiling how Pakistani music is being discovered and enjoyed around the world.
Pakistani artists found a global stage
According to Spotify’s data, there have been over 19,590 songs added to the platform from creators in Pakistan over the past year. Amongst the 184 markets, with 406 million listeners worldwide in which Spotify operates, the top countries listening to Pakistani music are India, the United States and the United Kingdom.
“Spotify continues to be committed to providing equal opportunities to all local artists, enabling them to connect with a global audience by creating an ecosystem where they can propel their careers while breaking lingual and cultural barriers,” said Claudius Boller, Managing Director of Spotify MENAP, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.
Local genres are getting exported across the globe
Pakistani music crossing borders had another notable moment over the past year, with 11% of the Pakistani Indie genre being streamed in the US, seeing a growth of more than 150% globally in the last year.
Additionally, Pakistani Electronic is gaining momentum locally and internationally, with 23% of the genre being streamed in the US, Canada, UK, and Germany, paving the way to a 223% increase in global streams since Spotify’s launch.
Speaking about how things have changed for him since Spotify entered the local scene, Turhan James, a Pakistani electronic music producer, said, “I’m so glad to see that my music is being heard so much since Spotify launched in Pakistan. I personally feel that it has been an absolute game-changer for our music industry. The platform has given artists the opportunity to have their work showcased to millions of people, not just in Pakistan but around the world, while giving listeners the ability to consume music they would never come across. It’s been a blessing!”
Local hip-hop was also amongst the most popular genres abroad. More than 63% of the streams for the genre came from outside the country and witnessed growth in global streams of almost 70%.
