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.

- Forgot your bank account or deposit ? Now it will be easier to find! Have you ever had a savings or current account with Cobank that was two or more years old and completely forgot about it? Or has it happened that you opened a term deposit and did not set it to renew automatically after its maturity and you forgot to cross it? This happens to many people. In such case, when there is no transaction from the account holder or deposit holder for two years or more, the bank suspends the account after sending instructions to the account holder. After the bank account or term deposit account remains 'inoperative' for 10 years, it is transferred as unclaimed deposit to the 'Depositors Education and Awareness Fund' of the Reserve Bank of India. You will be surprised to know that as of February 2023, the number of unclaimed deposits reaching this fund from all public sector banks has reached 35 thousand crores! We can get this amount back.

These countries are now farming in space, watch the video

Image
Image Source: NASA New delhi date. 2 June 2023, Friday As the population increases in the country, the land for agriculture is getting less and less on earth. Recently, a report from the University of Colorado Boulder has come out, in which it has been said, how farms are rapidly being depleted around the world. Perhaps this is the reason why scientists from some of the world's major countries are turning to farming in space. There is a huge difference between the atmosphere of space and the atmosphere of Earth, but still there is cultivation. In fact, seeds sent into space remain in microgravity and are exposed to large amounts of cosmic rays, a process that greatly accelerates plant growth and transformation. This process is called space mutagenesis. Due to which the plant is ready to face any kind of situation. China is growing many crops China is growing a variety of crops in space.

He hoisted the American flag on the moon and returned after spending three hours there. There are still questions about the veracity of this claim by the American NASA , but the fact that humans have made tremendous progress in space in the last five decades cannot be denied in any way. Sometimes you also look at the moon from the earth and think that what is really on the earth of the moon ?! Almost everyone has the curiosity to peer into the vast universe spread around us. The problem is that if we live in a city and look at the sky from Agashi, we will see nothing but a very bright star. If you live in a village and also in a farm or when you go out of the city, if you stop for a while on the highway other than a hotel or a petrol pump, you will ...

It was day on the moon but Vikram Lander did not wake up, is Chandrayaan-3 mission complete?

Image
The sun has risen over the moon's south pole and it is hoped that ISRO will re-connect with the lander Vikram and the rover Pragyan. However, no contact has been made with the lander and rover by ISRO so far. ISRO is making all efforts to contact the lander and rover. Some people are also thinking that the lander and rover will no longer be able to communicate. Will there be re-contact with the lander and rover? ISRO has been continuously sending messages to the lander Vikram since September 22. ISRO will continue its efforts to contact him for a few more days. But now somewhere it seems that the success of India's Chandrayaan-3 has come to an end. India has shown as much as it had to show to the world and has collected the information it had to collect. ISRO's mission successfully completed its work Successful landing of Vikram Isro drove the Pragyan rover for 105 meters Vikram lander jumps to show the craters on the moon Confirmation of the presence of essential g...

Let's dive into the deepest part of the ocean in this vacation

- 11 ð»ko Ãknu÷kt, yksLkk rËðMku suBMk fu{uÁLku ÷økkðe níke yuf yiríknkrMkf zqçkfe The distance between Mars and Earth varies constantly , but the average distance is 225 million kilometers. On the other hand , the bottom of the Earth's oceans is an average of 3,699 meters or about 12,100 feet away. However , mankind knows much less about the ocean floor than it does about the surface of Mars! If our brains are not corroded due to YouTube videos , games etc. on mobile , then from the above paragraph many curious questions can arise - Why is the distance between Mars and Earth constantly changing ? When and by how much are the two farthest and nearest from each other ? The height of Mount Everest from the surface of the earth is greater or the depth of the deepest part of the ocean is greater ? Why is it that Mars is so far away and the oceans are so ' shallow ', yet we know so little about the ocean floor ecosystems ? If your children have su...

Want to extend the battery life of your Android or iPhone?

Image
In today's time, we may think that smartphones are in our hands. In fact we are gripped by smartphones! Our life is in the smartphone and the life of the smartphone is in its battery. If you want your Android smartphone or iPhone battery to last longer on a single charge, you have to reduce the number of times you charge the battery throughout its life. Almost all smartphones and other devices today are powered by lithium-ion batteries. How much this type of battery should be charged is a matter of opinion , but the general opinion of experts is that if we do not let the battery of the phone fall below 20 percent and do not charge it more than 80 percent, its life can be extended. Now many smartphone manufacturing companies provide such a facility that when we put it in charging, its charging does not go beyond 85 percent. Find this setting in your smartphone!
