Apple, in WWDC 2018, re-launched the “Workflow” app as “Shortcuts” with iOS 12 to store and run the Siri shortcuts, the feature that runs a series of tasks with just a voice command. However, with the “Shortcuts” app, users could also make their own shortcuts to ease their smartphone usage. So now, a user has created a Siri shortcut that starts recording a video and sends the user-location to a specific contact, whenever they are stopped by the police.

The shortcut is created by a Twitter user, Robert Petersen. This comes at a very crucial time for the US citizens as mass protests against the police forces continue to rise around the country. According to the creator of the shortcut, this could be the “civilian equivalent” of the body cams that the police officials have.

Now, by default, the phrase is set to “Hey Siri, I am getting pulled over”. So, as soon as you utter these words together, your iPhone’s “Do not disturb” mode will be turned on, the volume and the brightness levels will decrease and your device will send your location to a specified (by you) contact informing them that you have been pulled over by the police.

Once you stop the recording, your volume and brightness will come back to normal, “Do not Disturb” mode will be turned off and the device will send a copy of the video to the specified contact. Then it will give you the option to save the video in the iCloud Drive or any other cloud storage platform.

If you wish, you can also change the trigger-phrase to something which is convenient for you. For this, you have to use the “Shortcuts” app to edit the shortcut.

So, it is a pretty nifty shortcut, especially for US citizens who are protesting against police brutality after the tragic death of Minneapolis resident, George Floyd. However, as it a Siri shortcut, it is only available for Apple devices, which is pretty sad for Android users.

SWIGGY,Zomato,Dunzo get permission to test drone deliveries in India.

________________________________________________________________________

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has given the green signal to Dunzo, Swiggy and Zomato, alongside a number of other consortia, to begin testing drone deliveries in India. The companies have reportedly received permission to test fly ‘Beyond Visual Line of Sight’ drones in select regions in India. The tests will see drones carry payloads or survey vast areas, and will begin in the first week of July.

Throttle Aerospace received the approval in March along with Dunzo, and said that it plans around 120 hours of flight time in the outskirts of Bengaluru. “We will start flying from the first week of July and plan to clock around 120 hours of flights in two and a half months”, said Nagendran Kandasamy, Founder, Throttle Aerospace. According to him, the company’s original plans were to begin the trial sooner. However, the plans changed due to the pandemic and lockdowns.

The government originally announced plans to allow experimental long-range drone flights last year. The DGCA, last October, selected seven firms out of 34 applicants to start the process in 2020, whilst rejecting the applications of the other 27 mainly on grounds of incomplete information.

Commercial deliveries through drones is still a nascent concept in most regions around the world, with very few countries even testing the technology on a large-scale. One of the first recorded delivery tests using a drone in India was conducted by Zomato in June 2019, when a hybrid drone successfully covered a distance of 5 km in about 10 minutes, with a peak speed of 80 kmph, carrying a payload of 5 kgs.

Media Tek caught cheating benchmark; Denies allegations

Most smartphone buyers know too little about performance benchmarks to care about them, and the ones who do, know that synthetic benchmark scores need to be taken with a grain of salt at the best of times. However, that doesn’t seem to be deterring tech companies from resorting to artificial (and often unethical) means of inflating benchmark scores.

The problem was thus far believed to have been limited to smartphone vendors, with Samsung, OnePlus and Huawei being some of the prominent companies to have been caught up in this controversy from time to time. However, AnandTech now claims that chipmaker MediaTek is also guilty of fudging benchmark scores of some of its smartphone SoCs.

The blog says it started its investigation when it found that the European version of the Oppo Reno 3 Pro with the older Helio P95 chipset was returning significantly higher benchmark scores than what was expected from a Cortex-A75 class SoC. However, what set the alarm bells ringing was the Chinese version of the Reno3 with the newer and supposedly faster Dimensity 1000L chipset, performing much worse in those same benchmark tests.

As it turns out, MediaTek was specifically preventing the benchmarking apps from activating the chip’s thermal throttling mechanism so as to return higher scores than they would in real-world scenarios. As per the report, the phone’s power_whitelist_cfg.xml file had a list of popular applications, including some of the aforementioned benchmark apps, with various power management tweaks applied to them.

Some of the common benchmarking apps found on the list include the likes of PCMark, GeekBench, AnTuTu, 3DBench and Quadrant alongside a few Chinese benchmark apps. The report further says that similar configurations were found on a whole bunch of other MediaTek devices, including the Vivo S1 with the Helio P65, the Xiaomi (Redmi) Note 8 Pro with the Helio G90, the Realme C3 with the Helio G70 and the Sony XAI with the Helio P20, among others.

MediaTek has denied all allegations of cheating, saying that its power management tweaks enable benchmark apps to better represent the hardware capabilities of their SoCs. In a statement to AnandTech, the company said: “MediaTek follows accepted industry standards and is confident that benchmarking tests accurately represent the capabilities of our chipsets … We believe that showcasing the full capabilities of a chipset in benchmarking tests is in line with the practices of other companies and gives consumers an accurate picture of device performance”.

Oppo 40W Airvooc wireless charger spoted on WPC ,may launch with Ace2.

____________________________________

Oppo is all set to launch the first device in its new Ace series – the Oppo Ace 2 on April 13. The device is tipped to come with support for 40W wireless charging and now, a 40W wireless charger from Oppo has been spotted on Wireless Power Consortium.

As per the listing, Oppo 40W AirVOOC Wireless Charger will support 9V/2A (18W), 5V/6A (30W), and 10V/6.5A (65W) power inputs and 40W power output. This also reiterates that the Ace 2 could have support for 40W wireless charging.

Speaking of the design, the wireless charger has an oval form-factor with space to accommodate the phone on one half and a cooling fan on the other. From the image in the listing, it is clear that the gadget will be available in a combination of white and grey color accents. The back of the wireless charger has vents for heat dissipation, as you can see in the image below.

OnePlus is also expected to debut its 30W Warp Charge 30 Wireless Charger alongside OnePlus 8 series, whose launch event will happen one day after on the 14th of April. Unlike Oppo’s 40W AirVOOC Wireless Charger, OnePlus’ Warp Charge 30 Wireless Charger is designed to be more like a stand from what we can see in the image renders shared by credible leakster Evan Blass.

As per current rumors, OnePlus Warp Charge 30 wireless charger could be priced around 70 euros (~Rs. 5,750). Given that Oppo’s 40W AirVOOC Wireless Charger comes with faster-charging speeds, we could expect Oppo to price it higher than OnePlus’ offering. However, we will know that for sure on Monday’s event.

One plus 8 pro confirmed to feature super-fast 30W warp wireless charging.

OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro are set to go official in exactly a week from today. The company will take the wraps off its latest flagship phones on April 14 but we have now learned that the OnePlus 8 Pro will finally bring along a long-requested feature. Yeah, in an interview with The Verge, OnePlus CEO Pete Lau has confirmed that the OnePlus 8 Pro will feature super-fast 30W wireless charging.

The Chinese giant was weary to add wireless charging to its flagship phones to date. It was due to slow wireless charging speeds that OnePlus thought didn’t make for a great user experience. But, a lot has changed over the past year and we will now have 30W Warp wireless charging on the high-end OnePlus 8 Pro. It’s the company’s proprietary wireless charging technology and will officially be called “Warp Charge 30 Wireless”.

The power is pumped at 30W (20V/ 1.5A) but it is clamped down to 5V/6A inside the phone, so as not to damage the battery. Lau boasts that you will be able to juice up around 50 percent of your battery in under 30 minutes, with this wireless charging technology.

As for the underlying technology, OnePlus’ implementation is borrowed from its sister company – Oppo. The latter unveiled its 30W VOOC wireless charging solution earlier last year. Since both Chinese phone makers share a common parent, BBK Electronics, OnePlus got access to this technology for the 8 series. The company states it has made “a number of optimizations” to it though.

Lau has not only confirmed the existence of the OnePlus wireless charger but also talked about some of its key features in the interview. We had got a first look at the upcoming charging dock earlier this morning and it looks super cool.

There will be a built-in fan to dissipate heat while you are charging a device and it “could get as loud as 30db,” mentions Lau. That’s fairly loud though if you plan on charging the phone at night. But yeah, as the leak from this morning suggested and Lau has now confirmed, there will be a night mode to toggle off the fan and reduce charging speed at night. This will generate less heat and charge the OnePlus 8 Pro slowly – at its own pace because you are sleeping and don’t need it urgently.

Let’s not forget to mention that both the 8 Pro and its wireless charging dock will be compatible with the Qi charging standard. It’s a moment of you for OnePlus fans who have been waiting for this feature ever since the launch of OnePlus 6 with a glass rear panel in 2018. Wireless charging is finally here and you will be able to quickly top up your phone while you get ready.

The Competition Agency of France, L’Autorité de la concurrence, has fined Apple with a massive amount of 1.1 billion Euros (~1.23 billion). The report came from the official website of the authorities. It stated that the Cupertino-based tech giant will have to pay the fine because of fixing prices of some of their products and preventing competition between two of its retailers in the French market.

This is the highest amount levied by the authority to date. According to the authorities, Apple was responsible for fixing prices for the iPads, preventing two of its retailers to compete with each other and unjustly treating its premium reseller.

The report stated that Apple along with two other wholesalers, Tech Data and Ingram Micro, fixed the prices for the iPads by effectively eradicating competition. Apple convinced the two wholesalers to charge the same prices that the iPhone-makers charged on its online platform and official stores. The company also restricted supplies, according to Competition Agency.illegal

The two wholesalers also need to pay huge amounts for agreeing to carry out this illegal and immoral practice. Tech Data has to pay around 76 million Euros (~84.7 million) and Ingram Micro would pay 62.9 million Euros (~$69 million).

Now, the biggest controversy for Apple in France started in 2012, when a reseller under the Apple Premium Reseller program accused Apple of unfairly sales practices. The stores that are under the APR program only sell Apple products and eBizcuss.com was one of them. The company, under the APR program, allowed retailer a specific number of products, recommended the price at which the retailer can sell the product and gave very limited promotional material to the retailer.

Now, eBizcuss went out of business in 2012 as Apple limited the supplies compared to its official stores. According to the Agency, this limitation of supplies resulted in pricing competition for half of the retail market for Apple products in the country. Also, the Agency discovered that Apple limited supplies to the retailers during heavy demand, like in times of new product launch, to lure customers to its own official stores.

These illegal practices by the company have been seen by the Agency Director, Isabelle de Silva, who said in a statement, “It is the heaviest sanction pronounced against an economic player, in this case, Apple, whose extraordinary size has been duly taken into account,”.

PILLARS OF LEADERSHIP:
1.CONSCIENTIOUSNESS:
2.PERSEVERANCE:
3.INNOVATIVENESS:
4.TAKING INITIATIVES:
5.PROBLEM SOLVING:

____________________________________

1.CONSCIENTIOUSNESS:
Conscientiousness is the personality trait of being careful, or diligent. Conscientiousness implies a desire to do a task well, and to take obligations to others seriously. Conscientious people tend to be efficient and organized as opposed to easy-going and disorderly. They exhibit a tendency to show self-discipline, act dutifully, and aim for achievement; they display planned rather than spontaneous behavior; and they are generally dependable. It is manifested in characteristic behaviors such as being neat, and systematic; also including such elements as carefulness, thoroughness, and deliberation (the tendency to think carefully before acting).

____________________________________2.PERSEVERANCE:
Definition of perseverance continued effort to do or achieve something despite difficulties, failure, or opposition : the action or condition or an instance of persevering : STEADFASTNESS

____________________________________

3.INNOVATIVENESS:
Innovative leadership is the ability to both think and influence others to create “new and better” ideas to move towards positive results.

____________________________________

4.TAKING INITIATIVES:
Initiative is defined as recognizing and doing what needs to be done before I am asked to do it.

Initiative is the trait that puts many of the other character traits into action. Compassion without initiative does nothing to aid another. It’s difficult to exhibit the traits of dependability, orderliness and responsibility, for example, without initiative.

Initiative can help us recognize and acknowledge challenges before they become major problems. Initiative can help us improve relationships. Taking the initiative to show interest in an activity simply because someone you care about is interested can strengthen your relationship.

____________________________________

5.PROBLEM SOLVING:Problem-solving skills help you determine the source of a problem and find an effective solution. Although problem-solving is often identified as its own separate skill, there are other related skills that contribute to this ability.

Some key problem-solving skills include:

Active listening
Analysis
Research
Creativity
Communication
Dependability
Decision making
Team-buildingProblem-solving skills are important in every career at every level. As a result, effective problem solving may also require industry or job-specific technical skills. For example, a registered nurse will need active listening and communication skills when interacting with patients but will also need effective technical knowledge related to diseases and medications. In many cases, a nurse will need to know when to consult a doctor regarding a patient’s medical needs as part of the solution.
