A green dot appears on the phone screen?


Have you ever seen a green dot on your laptop screen next to the camera or in the upper right corner of your smartphone screen ? This is a privacy related feature. Talking about smartphones, this feature has been added since the 12th version of Android.

This green dot appears on the screen whenever our device's camera or microphone or both are in use. If you turn on the camera itself, you will see the camera icon on the green background for a second or two in the right corner and then it will turn into a tiny green dot. The same happens when using a microphone. If there is any malware in our phone, it can turn on the camera or microphone or both in the background. So something else may be running on the phone screen or it may appear to be off but the phone's camera or microphone may be capturing what it sees/hears! Green Dot lets us know if something like this is going on.

Know, how likely is Vikram Lander and Pragyan Rover to be operational again?

Image
New Delhi, September 26, 2023, Tuesday Last month, ISRO achieved a major achievement by landing the Chandrayaan-3 rover on the surface of the moon. Vikram Lander successfully made history by making a soft landing on the southern part of the moon. The Pragyan rover, which came out of the Vikram lander, conducted research for 14 days with the help of solar and sent data. 14 days on earth equals one day on the moon, that is, if we calculate on the basis of the earth, there are 14 days of light and 14 days of darkness on the moon. In the absence of sunlight, the temperature drops as low as minus 200 to 250 Celsius. The batteries of the lander and the rover are not capable of withstanding the shock of such low temperatures. The rover is currently in hibernation. Although scientists cannot say for sure whether the batteries will work in the presence of sunlight on the lunar surface, they have not given up hope. It has been sending signals continuously since September 22. Batteries can be...

Does Corona prove fatal for people with vitamin D deficiency?

Image
New York, May 16, 2020, Saturday Scientists in the United States have claimed that coronaviruses are more deadly to people with vitamin D deficiency than others. For this, the data of some of the people who died from the corona virus around the world were analyzed. In addition to the United States, data from China, France, Germany, Iran, South Korea, Spain and Britain were studied in a study by Northwestern University in the United States. Professor Vadim Beckman and his team of researchers wanted to do comparative research on the world's health care system during the Corona virus. He disagreed with linking the corona and mortality to the number of tests and the average life expectancy of the country. Beckman says none of these reasons seem important. Northern Italy's healthcare system is considered to be of the highest quality in the world. There was also a big difference in the mortality rate of people of the same age. It also studied the mortality rates of countries that...
