Not providing charger with i-Phone turns out to be costly: Apple hit with Rs. 164 crore fine

Ahmedabad, 14 October 2022, Friday

In today's new age, it has become a trend not to provide a charger with the smartphone. It was started by Apple and now companies like Google, Samsung to even Xiaomi are not providing chargers with their phones. However, various countries are now adopting strictness in this regard. Apple's decision not to provide a charger with the iPhone has become expensive again. Apple has been fined 20 million dollars i.e. about 164 crore rupees for selling an iPhone without a charger in Brazil.

A Brazilian court judge said Apple forced consumers to buy additional products by not providing a charger with the iPhone. Earlier last month, Apple was separately fined about $2.5 million by Brazil's Justice Department for a similar issue. Apple has stopped providing chargers with iPhone 12 since October 2020. Apple has been slapped with similar fines in France before.

Earlier, before the launch of Apple's iPhone 14 series, Brazil gave a big blow to Apple. Last month, the Brazilian government ordered a nationwide ban on the sale of iPhones without chargers. Apart from this, the Brazilian government also imposed a fine of around 18 crore rupees on Apple for not providing a charger with the iPhone.

Apart from this, last week the European Union said that by the end of 2024 it may be forced to provide a single type of C port charger with all devices. Apple will suffer the most from this decision as it will have to change the design of all its products.

Are there other apps connected to your Facebook-Google account?

In most of the sites/apps we can open our account by either giving a new username or our e-mail address , setting a new password for that service. If we don't want to bother so much , if we don't want to remember one more password, we can log-in on these sites with the help of our username-password of Google , Facebook , Twitter etc. This is ' social log-in ' . This is also called ' Connecting Google/Facebook Account ' with that app . Such log-in is convenient , but it also has many disadvantages , so now social log-in is not very necessary. That's why you should check which sites you have previously logged into social media in this way. To check which third-party apps you've connected (and now forgot) to your Google account, go to Android , Settings , Google. Find the option of ' Apps Connected ' in it .

Big breakthrough for scientists: AI will recreate dreams and put them on paper

Image
Tokyo, dt. 11 March 2023 Saturday Scientists have achieved great success in scanning the brain with the help of AI. Now what our brain will see even in dreams, AI will recreate it and put it on paper. Researchers Shinji Nishimoto and Yu Takagi from Japan's Osaka University have converted brain activity into high-resolution images using AI. Previously, AI was used to create facial images. For the first time text to image generation stable diffusion AI algorithm has been used. Previously, AI algorithms used to decode brain scans depended only on data sets. What are the benefits?
