Netflix
source: darknetflix.io

IMDB (Internet Movie Database) has long been people’s go o to find out which movie ranks top, what to see on the new year, obtain Christmas movie lists, or which films will be coming up soon. So when a platform such as Netflix appears, IMDB is undoubtedly going to make Netflix focused lists as well. Here are some of the highest-rated Netflix series/seasons on IMDB.

1. Narcos

Narcos is pretty self-evident. The season is named narcos, and it tells the story of a world of drugs, in other words, narcotics. It is made on a true story and retells the real events linked with Pablo Escobar, the famous Columbian Drug Lord. The struggle between police and drug lords always gets a large audience, and when it is based on real events, telling people how the real-life can be very filmy, a hype builds. And Narcos does not disappoint the audience. It has an 8.8 rating on IMDB.

2. Stranger Things

A child goes missing, and the people who care about him have to tackle supernatural events to get him back. IMDB has given this, too, an 8.8 rating, and I will not be surprised if it is for the character of Eleven.

3. Dark

A german show is revolving around disappearances, family drama, and inter-family struggles. It is a show about supernatural occurrences and how they uncover relationships between a handful of families. With 8.8 ratings, it is sure to keep you on your seat’s edge.

4. Black Mirror

We all want the best technology for us. The most recent innovations and we want to possess it. Sometimes it is just so that it can make our lives more comfortable, and at other times, it is because it seems interesting. But we have also learned that every action has a reaction. So what if all the technologies and innovations were to react? Black Mirror is about that.

5. The Queen’s Gambit

Combine genius and crazy, and we will be reminded of ‘A Beautiful Mind’. But this is very different from that. Queen’s Gambit is not just about genius and crazy. It is also about a woman being both in a male-centric world. And Anya Taylor-Joy perfectly depicts all this in the Queen’s Gambit as she plays and excels in Chess.


While these are, hands down, impressive Netflix seasons, it does not mean that the ones not here are in any way bad. It just means that more people watched it, and a higher percentage of them rated the season on a larger scale. So if you are on Netflix, these are some must watch Netflix series, but there are also some other movies and seasons on Netflix that you can give a try and will end up loving.

Ps5 tips and tricks

1. The Power:

The Ps5 has come out with a lot of new features and tricks. One of them is adjusting the power settings. From these settings, you are able to decide when your console shuts down. If you are away from it for long, you can adjust it’s idle settings. Sitting open idle for too long can consume more power and unnecessary heat emission.

This setting is not only environment friendly but removes the hassle of forgetting to shut down the console. The next time you are away from the console for an errand, do not worry. It will shut down immediately after the time you provide!

2. Setting The Privacy:

The power settings are one thing The Ps5 offers yet another amazing feature. The tip to mention here is that you can even adjust your privacy settings. Whether you wish to keep your profile open to the public or private, is totally up to you. 

The open profile would suggest that your name and content will appear to all. The private implies the exact opposite. Going deeper into the settings is even more interesting. You have the option to select whether you wish your name to appear in search engines or not. This option gives you complete control over your privacy.

tips and tricks for Ps5 experience

3. Sub Menu Options:

Now this is an exclusive type of option for the Ps5. It reminds one of pressing the windows keys while gaming on PC. The Ps5 has a sub menu option. This means that you can press the centre button, on the controller, while gaming. This will open up the sub menu and let you access the menu while in-game. This form of feature is not entirely available to the previous consoles.

Whether it is to take a bathroom break or to check something on the menu, the submenu is your go-to option. How Ps5 does further development in this area is still yet to be seen.

4. Performance Or Resolution?

As one can already notice, Console gaming is slightly tilting towards PC gaming experiences. New games, like God Of War and Red Dead Redemption 2, offer a difference in performance. It offers you the option to either go for performance gaming or resolution gaming. The difference is in the frame rate. If your screen can support 4K resolution, you can select the resolution option. Otherwise, performance gaming is no less when it comes to 720p or 1080p.

The option to select between these two modes is a nifty little trick as it can make your experience more in-depth. Since this option is now available, we have yet to see what else they can let the public access. The 30-FPS lock has now been removed, apparently, in the Ps5 due to this option!

5. Spoiler Settings: Something New!

This is something so new it has never been seen before. Often you may find yourself cycling through an online gaming store. Sometimes, there is content present which can serve as a game spoiler. This can include plots, characters, vehicles, locations etc. The Ps5 has an option that lets you alter spoiler settings!

With this enabled, you will only be shown content in the store which does not show any spoilers. So if you are someone strictly against spoilers, this neat little trick is just for you.

This handful of extra features makes your Ps5 experience more immersive and detailed. You are guaranteed to be hooked for hours after going through all of these!

Toyota IMC Introduces New Features In Its Yaris 1.3 ATIV!

Yaris 1.3 ATIV

The automobile industry is booming quite a lot these days. Despite the pandemic hitting the streets of the world, it has not entirely hindered this industry. Tesla keeps making refinements and advancements to their vehicles with every passing month. Ford is also making considerable progress in their respective area.

Similarly, the brands common to Pakistan are releasing newer models as the year progresses. The new civic model was recently revealed to the public at an auto reveal. Toyota has also had its hands dipped deep in this industry. The Yaris has been quite a car this year. The vehicle itself has received praise and criticism. However, there is news in store for fans of the vehicle!

Yaris with new features
Image Source: carindia

Toyota As A Company:

Toyota used to be known as the most robust vehicle manufacturer of all time. Even now, if one comes upon such vehicles as Land Cruiser or Vigo, they cannot help but marvel at it. The Toyota Corolla stands out as one of the most successful cars of the previous decades. The 90s variants of the vehicle are as robust and strong as some jeeps.

So, now that we’ve observed the history, we can take a glance at the Toyota Yaris. Its name has gone quite up in 2020 and has developed a reputation. They are, however, many mixed reviews on the vehicle itself. The New Yaris 1.3 ATIV is set to include new features which are sure to baffle and astonish!

The Toyota Yaris 1.3:

As opposed to the previous variant this version will have two features included. These are the Rearview camera and a better audio system. This means that can listen to the bass boost on ‘Ocean Drive’ with a premium feel. Additionally, you no longer have to strain your neck to check the blind spot on the rear side. Just switch to reverse and stare away at the screen!

These new features were not available in Yaris except for the extreme high end versions. Now, with this availability, more and more customers are expected to come running. Toyota Yaris has received criticism due to it’s disproportionate build and lack of certain aspects. This is one of the reasons it took a hit when the year began.

The Future Of Automobiles:

Despite the shortcomings, Yaris has had a successful sales year. It has surpassed both Civic and City in sales. Where those vehicles were sold at nearly 2000 units, the Yaris reached 4000. A lot of people are preferring Yaris over other sedans. With the rearview camera and a better audio system saving people money, why would they not go for this one?

This is because the city has had the same type of chassis and face since a decade. It is high time the vehicle gets a refresh so there is a higher influx of customers. We hope the Toyota Yaris continues to improve as more and more models are released. It would be nice to see more types of vehicles in the country rather than old ones.

Sunridge Gives Children The Strength To Pursue Their Dreams

This latest ad is winning hearts and it’s safe to say, this is the sort of ads we would want to see on our screens!

The Ad Is Inspiring

The advertisement shows various children in the pursuit of their distinct dreams. We have a girl who’s striving to be a boxer, a swimmer in the making and also a cricketer! Perseverance and hardwork leading to success is a message this ad imparts to the youth of today.

What’s really special is how touching it is in the subtlest of ways. The mothers are not coddling their children rather supporting them from a distance. The mothers act as a backbone for their child’s success, however, they realise failure is just as important to experience.

Check Out The Ad Here

The Children Of Today Are Weak

Our diet today is far from pure, healthy and nutritious. Our grandparents lament this but we can’t really hear them when we’re enjoying delicious fast food. Today’s diet is majorly based on preservatives and chemicals which is why, inherently, children are becoming weaker.

Our bones start hurting at an earlier age, we’re more prone to infections and we get exhausted too soon. Can we afford this weakness today for children? Not at all! Today, the pressure of studies is unbearably difficult, there are other activities and then there’s the home life. Unless and until children’s diet is nutritious and healthy, they can not be successful in their required roles!

Is There A Solution?

We can start by actively cutting out chemically grown and preservative-laden foods. That means fast food will have to be cut down a lot, yikes! Encourage them to opt for healthier snacks and enjoy homemade meals. They can be occupied in home gardening too which is a win-win: you get organic produce and kids get distracted!

In addition to that, you can start using Sunridge! Sunridge’s aata is full of essential nutrients like Zinc, Iron, Folic Acid and Vitamin B-12. A good intake of these can mean stronger immunity, stronger bones and better health altogether!

Sunridge has pledged to fight against malnutrition to make their country strong. What better way to make your country strong than making the youth of today healthier?

Know Your Sources

Knowing the sources of where the food is coming from can also help you choose the best for your children. Sunridge aata is made in the company’s PESA Mill which is special because of its advanced technology. The mill uses zero human contact and proper hygienic environments to create the best aata. 

Hygiene is also more important than ever nowadays because of the pandemic we are sitting through. With Sunridge, have the softest and most aromatic rotis you can think of!

Prime Minister Imran Khan labeled Ertugrul as a must-watch. Following that, PTV started airing the show dubbed in Urdu. Indeed there was something to it that it immediately became the talk of the town. Pakistanis became huge fans of the drama, the plot, the characters, and the actors. Seeing this love, advertisers also came into the arena to sign these actors as their ambassadors. The first signed was Esra Bilgic playing Halime Sultan in Ertugrul.

Esra Bilgic

Esra not only became the face of a few Pakistani brands but also gathered quite a several Pakistani followers on Instagram. She often replies to them and takes an interest in what relates to Pakistan. So it doesn’t come as a surprise if she shares a photo on her Instagram where she looks strikingly beautiful that people do not fall in love with her all over again.

On Sunday, Esra posted her picture on Instagram with a simple caption that wins only more hearts:

“The more simple we are, the more complete we become.”

The actress looks gorgeous with her hair tied back, but shorter strands of hair are still on her face. They unquestionably magnify her beauty.

Without question, her fans from everywhere started doting on the picture, praising her.

Esra Bilgic: Ramo

Currently, the Ertugrul star is showcasing her excellent skills in another drama, Ramo. Ramo is set in current times, so it has been a drastic shift to see her as Halime and then Sibel. But she is for sure doing great, playing the lead in Ramo against a Turkish actor we have already seen on our screens.

A few years ago, when the Turkish drama craze was just starting, a local TV channel aired the dubbed drama Asi. The male lead of Asi, Murat Yildrim, is the lead actor in Ramo.

She indeed looks ravishing in this hairstyle. And she knows that she is beautiful but still keeps herself real for her fans; that makes her even more of a real star. Indeed, it is the simplicity that makes us more complete. Stay simple, stay complete, stay beautiful, and stay real.

COVID-19: This Funny Public Awareness Video Is Just What We Need

COVID-19

Veteran comedian Faisal Qureshi runs a production house with the name of ‘Game Over Productions’. And as one would expect from the remarkable comedian, he is doing a fantastic job keeping his loyal fans entertained. Just Yesterday, he posted a video on his page. It was a short clip featuring many celebrities with the idea to spread awareness about COVID-19.

Faisal Qureshi’s message 

The video is titled “Video Call To Action: A short Message on Corona awareness”. Faisal Qureshi himself is seen hosting the video and has invited three guests. For reasons of social distancing during COVID, like many other shows, this program as well is seen happening on what is most probably a zoom meeting. As guests, the invitees were Waseem Akram, Shehzad Roy, and Mehwish Hayat.

The lineup for the guests was indeed perfect because all of them are known to be very vocal when it comes to public service messages and actually giving back to the community. They, too, seemed excited to be on the program.

The happenings of the show

The short program starts with Faisal Qureshi talking about COVID-19 and how dangerous it is. He then begins introducing each guest and slightly shed light on their achievements to show that they are qualified in talking about this issue. He then moves on to talk about how relaxed we have become when it comes to following SOPs. All in all, this video call to action did indeed convey all the message that we, as Pakistanis, really needed to hear.

Now, you may be wondering, exactly what is it that makes such a serious message funny. Well, there is the thing. Only a veteran actor/comedian can do that. By not allowing them to speak in the entire appearance, he used their face to attract eyeballs and hence, was successfully able to convey a message which people generally skip.

In the end, the pissed-off celebrities stormed away, but the comedian was still rambling off. While this was all already very funny, the last sentence added even more flavor.

Ek to in celebrities k nakhrey hi nahi khatam hotey.’

https://www.facebook.com/99319189034/videos/204107601212979

Describing this monologue show will never do justice to the performance of Faisal Qureshi. One needs to see the whole show to be entertained. So go and have a look at ‘Bhoolna nahi hai, Corona yaheen hai‘, at least this is how he introduces the show after concluding it.

Even during the time of crusades, sentries were posted all around the Bazaars, to keep an eye on pickpockets and assassins. Forwarding to the time of the internet, online security became important too.

When WiFi became a thing, people wanted passwords to protect their networks. You would not want unwanted users taking up your bandwidth and slowing down your internet. Now, many times, unwanted users are still able to access your WiFi. This is because some passwords are so commonly used, they unlock a lot of networks.

1. ‘Pakistan123’

It comes as no surprise that this password is one of the most popular ones on this list. You could open up any widely used network and try this as a first guess. 40% of the time, this password unlocks the WiFi. It is that common.

2. ‘123Pakistan’

If the password mentioned above doesn’t work, try it in reverse. Odds are, it will work and unlock the wifi. It is recommended not to use Pakistan and the first three digits together. Instead, one ought to be more creative. Since the password is so cool now, you shouldn’t make use of it.

3. ‘12345678’

PTCL used to keep this as the default password for its users. Then users had the option to change it themselves after installation. However, many people never changed their passwords, and, thus, a lot of WiFi networks lost their security. Even today, one can use this as a first guess when trying out a PTCL network.

4. ‘Pakistanzindabad’

This is yet another popular password on this list. You’d often be surprised how much this password is used. The only difference with this password often seen is the number of ‘a’s in zindabad.

5. ‘Dildilpakistan’

It is quite common for people to use patriotic songs in their passwords. Dil Dil Pakistan is a popular song by the renowned band ‘Vital Signs.’ Those who prefer this password often do it for the nostalgia of it. However, it is recommended that if you do use it, make some alterations to it.

This is yet another common password. It is also used as a default for some of the service providers. If you have this password set, it is recommended to change it as many people have a good chance to access it.

Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan, and some more are quite common when it comes to wifi passwords. People use many different Bollywood Actor Names as their passwords, and most of them are famous actors. So that is another guess an unwanted user can take, which will be beneficial for them.

8. ‘1234567890’

Just like the default 1-8 password, many users alter theirs just to add two more digits to the end. Albeit creative, it has now also become a popular password. If the numbers till 8 aren’t enough to unlock, a person may go the extra mile to add two more.

9. ‘password’

This used to be one of the most ingenious tricks of the trade. If you had this as your password, it was quite impressive. However, now it’s more common than rare.

10. ‘11111111’

This a password for a lot of binary lovers. If the combination is of 1s and 0s, then the password is quite strong. However, using just 1s compromises, it’s integrity. It is better not to use this.

1. Enola Holmes

We all know and love Sherlock Holmes. This love began with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who created this character. But when Robert Downey Jr or Benedict Cumber batch brought their flare to Sherlock, the character became so much more than just an exceptional detective. Interestingly, however, the story of Sherlock Holmes is always a bit blurry when it comes to his sister. And this time, Netflix has given one whole movie to explain the story of the less spoken off sister, Enola. It brings fun, comedy, and intelligence without showing a girl to be weak. It is a must-watch, most definitely.

2. Marriage Story

Ironically marriage story is about divorce. And after seeing these two people playing dynamic roles in Star Wars and Avengers, Adam Driver and Scarlett Johannson, play ordinary people would have needed effort if it were anybody other than such great actors of the industry. But they make the funny-sad-normal movie, every bit amazing.

3. Annihilation

A sci-fi movie where the task force sent to deal with the anomaly is entirely female? Count me in. Actually, I have not watched it, but after just seeing the trailer, it seems like it is vastly underrated. So, I, for one, have added it to my watchlist.

4. #Alive

Zombie movies are usually about when you are out on the road, and all hell breaks loose. And the hero has to save himself and the people around him. But #alive is different. It is about two people who do not leave their apartment much. And while they are inside, the virus takes over their entire area. They have to battle through hunger, isolation and then find their will to live. For me, this was one zombie movie that actually had a story.

There are so many more movies on Netflix that you may have missed out on. To name a few, there is ‘Set it up’, Peninsula, Okja. So if you are under quarantine, practicing social isolation, or just bored, look up these movies and enjoy the core.

Netflix Series ‘A Suitable Boy’ Has Made Indians Angry!

A Netflix series has sparked a row amongst Indians. Will this also be distorted and made into a Hindu-Muslim struggle or not?

What Happened?

Netflix’s web series ‘A Suitable Boy’ was accused of having hurt “religious sentiments” by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders. The show has a scene where a Hindu woman and a man belonging to the Muslim community share a kiss at a temple. 

This, according to BJP Party leaders, calls for legal actions because the show is promoting ‘love jihad.’

 What Is The Show About?

‘A Suitable Boy’ is Mira Nair’s TV adaptation of Vikram Seth’s novel A Suitable Boy. The series was released on Netflix on October 23. Ishaan Khatter, Tabu, Tanya Maniktala, and Rasika Dugal are seen in pivotal roles in the series and maybe in danger as a result too.

The series is set in the backdrop of newly independent India and is about families finding “a suitable boy” for their daughters.

Current Status of Legal Proceedings

BJP leader and Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra have initiated action against the OTT platform. “Netflix is promoting love jihad,” Tiwari said in a tweet in Hindi, which is sensationalizing this further.

Madhya Pradesh Home Minister Narottam Mishra said, “I have instructed authorities to check what legal action can be taken against these scenes…”. Not only is BJP coming after the platform itself but also the producer of the series. This just shows to what extent this event is being received negatively. 

Netflix Is Not Off The Hook

On the other hand, BJP spokesperson Gaurav Goel also called for an FIR to be registered against Netflix.

“If any OTT platform is deliberately insulting the Hindu Gods & Goddess, pls file the complaint with the police or local court under Section 295A of IPC. The law will take care of such offenders. In case of any assistance, you can contact me or @chakusameer,” he tweeted.

 What Is Likely To Happen?

This looks a lot like how Pakistanis received the video of Saba Qamar twirling in a mosque. That was just a twirl, and this was a kiss in a religious place for the Hindus, the temple. While the sentiments are understandable, the extent to which the BJP party will go is not.

The show’s producers are likely to apologize for it but will it be enough? Those who are hell-bent on bringing a platform like Netflix down on its knees will not be silenced with just an apology. Here’s hoping no harm is caused to anyone during this process.

Climate Crisis: Google’s New Tool Can Now Help Plant Trees

Google's New Tool for trees
Image Source: intelligentliving.co

As the current existing generation on this planet, it comes to us as a responsibility to save the environment. We have to save behind a world for the next generations of people to come. If we continue on the same path of destruction and deforestation, there may not be a planet left to save. T

The movie ‘Interstellar’ even showed how much humans actually managed to cause turmoil and chaos. They achieved such a point that they had to plan an exit route from Earth! Let us keep that film as a lesson on what not to do to Mother Nature. In light of saving the environment, Google’s New Tool can actually help us save it. Since what we lack is the plantation of trees to a massive extent, this new tool can enable us to go beyond those bounds.

Saving The Environment:

The removal of mangrove forests in Pakistan became a dire issue once. Since mangroves are planted near the river, they are essential for us. Pakistan’s agro-based economy depends heavily on its rivers. So, Pakistan began a series of activities to save the mangrove forests. Nearly a decade later, we stand at a better than all that time ago.

So how has Google managed to come up with a tool to plant trees? Must they have employed some form of technology to achieve this result? Yes, that is exactly what they did. They are using Artificial Intelligence in aerial imagery to figure out where trees need to be planted. Right now, the operation is taking place in Los Angeles, but their plans extend beyond those bounds!

The New Tool:

What they are doing is image processing. Image processing is quite useful when it comes to 21dt century technology. Even self-driving cars intend to use that form of technology for navigation. Google uses images taken by planes during all four seasons. Then Google AI scans these images and detects where the trees are in each one.

The data from Los Angeles states that 50% of the population lives in areas with less than 10% of tree coverage. Additionally, it showed that 44% of the population lives in extreme heat risk areas. Both these places require canopies and tree layers for more coverage. Right now, they are mapping the entire city of Los Angeles to get accurate results and act accordingly. The more trees they plant, the better it is for the environment.

The Meaning Of Life:

This is an initial step for Google’s New Tool, but it can go far. Since the lack of trees is an issue common in many parts of the world, the same technology can be employed. We hope that Pakistan can get a whiff of this tool as well. We are in dire need of more trees and human-made forests.

Google is taking enormous bounds forward. Be it technology related to the environment or urban lifestyle; Google is dipped in all of them.

About trees, a wise person once stated, ‘Someone who plants a tree, knowing they will not live long enough to see it grow, has finally begun to understand the meaning of life.’

Panther Tyres Limited To Be Listed On The Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX)

According to the notification issued by the PSX, the company has planned to issue 40 million ordinary shares at a floor price of Rs. 47 per share.

The company wanted to raise funds for the expansion of its operations and businesses in the local market and the export segments. The total expansion cost was estimated to be Rs. 3.066 billion and was to be financed by a mixture of Debt and Equity in the Debt to Equity proportion of 37.5 to 62.5. This investment of Rs.3.066 billion will not only help the company to increase its production capacity but also provide an opportunity to bring-in new state of art European technology of tyre manufacturing. This technology will enable the Company to produce and sell best quality products at competitive prices.

Panther Tyres Limited is one of the largest tyre manufacturing Company of Pakistan and takes pride of being the first to introduce the local manufacturing of two, three-wheelers and industrial machinery tyres in Pakistan and currently has a stronghold in the two, three-wheeler and tractor tyre market. Over the time, the company expanded into other segments of the auto industry, including tyres for light commercial vehicles, trucks, buses, and earthmovers. These tyres are being supplied not only in replacement market but also to OEMs as well.

The company has shown impressive performance in business and its sales have got doubled from Rs 5.59 billion in FY 2016 to 11.58 billion in FY 2020 at a CAGR of 20%. Moreover, as per the audited numbers of the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the top line of the company has grown by 31% over the same period last year which translated into the net profit margin of 5.75% exhibiting a growth of 133% over the corresponding figure.

The company exports motorcycles, tractors, rickshaws, LCVs, and truck & bus bias tyres and tubes to around twelve countries. It was awarded the EU E-8 marked certification in 2018 for its exports to European countries.

The recent 38 percent devaluation of the Pakistani rupee against the US dollar over the last two years (FY 2019 and FY 2020) and Govt. measures to curb smuggling and under-invoicing have created a room of growth for tyre industry of Pakistan.  This has made tyre & tube pricing competitive not in local market but also in the international market. The management believes that its growth momentum in sales will continue in foreseeable future as well.

During an arrest, Derek Chauvin, a white American police officer, kept his knee on the side of Floyd’s neck for almost nine minutes while Floyd was handcuffed and lying face down.

This caused an uproar, and people came together in the hopes of ending racism. Moreover,  protests continued Tuesday for an eighth night across the United States, with demonstrators peacefully gathering to shout George Floyd’s name and to call for justice in the wake of his death at the hands of a now-jailed former police officer.
