Popular media player suddenly banned in India


If you have been playing various types of media files on your computer then you must be familiar with ' VLC Media Player ' . This open source media player has been very popular among tech users over the years. Audio and video files can be stored in a variety of formats and the specialty of VLC media player is that it can play almost all types of media files. That's why when we buy an assembled computer from a nearby computer shop and the shop installs various software in the computer, one of them almost invariably includes this free VLC media player.

But now the Indian government has suddenly banned this popular software. VLC media player website and its download link have been blocked. Surprisingly, the company that developed this software itself is in the dark about the ban! After the news of the ban was shared on Twitter, the company tweeted back saying that it also " doesn't know about the reasons for the ban , the ban is actually in effect till February 2022. It would be nice if the users in India could shed some light on this! The government has not given any clear reason for the ban. But it has come out that a certain Russian or Chinese hacker group was using this popular software to inject malware into people's computers or smartphones and due to this the government has banned the software.

IIT researchers develop real-time underwater marine robot, eases deep-sea surveillance

Image
image : Envato and Twitter Real-time underwater marine robot: Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Mandi and Palakkad have achieved a tremendous achievement in developing real-time underwater marine robot for underwater surveillance. The function of this robot will be close underwater monitoring and verification. Its level of efficacy would be very high, risk would be extremely low and it would likely be cost-effective, the researchers said. Jagdish Kadian, assistant professor at the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics at IIT Mandi, said that learning about the ocean's internal currents from history led to the conclusion that only by placing instruments on research ships deep can one gain more insight into the ocean.

Taking advantage of Twitter company's name change and other major upheavals last year, Meta Company launched a new social platform ' Threads ' almost like Twitter. When the Threads service launched in July 2023, it was launched along the lines of the already hugely popular Instagram to give it a large user base from the start. Hence, if we have an Instagram account, we can sign-up in the threads from it and the Instagram username and followers are also added to the threads. Due to this the threads got a very fast growth initially. In the first month itself , in fact in the first five days, the number of its users reached the mark of 10 crores.

The Open Network Core Digital Commerce (ONDC) project was launched in India in April last year. Amazon and Flipkart currently have a duopoly in the e-commerce sector in India and both of these companies are foreign-owned.
