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.

New Delhi, November 8, 2020, Monday The National Green Tribunal has banned the sale and detonation of fireworks from midnight on November 8 to November 30 to curb the spread of pollution in areas including Delhi NCR. With the onset of winter, the air becomes thinner and the level of pollution drops to lower air levels. In Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, straw is destroyed by burning of grain crops during the kharif season and its pollution also reaches Delhi. In addition, if fireworks are set off during the Diwali festival, the level of pollution is likely to exceed its danger mark. Second, the number of four-wheelers in Delhi is high during the festivals, making the air toxic. Fireworks have been banned this year as part of a precautionary measure against the Corona epidemic. According to the information received, the NGT ban also applies to cities and towns where air quality was not good during the month of November last year. There is a lot of research being done on the alte...

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? This allows people's dreams to be recorded. Learning about people with paralysis can help. This can provide insights into how animals and birds see and understand the world. Why is scanning done? When our brain sees an image, the temporal lobe records the information and the occipital lobe records the way of thinking. This information is recorded through a functional magnetic resonance imaging sca...

Donations and revenue to Wikipedia

Image
You may have noticed that for the last few times we have been appealing for donations rather than searching for anything on the ' free encyclopedia ' Wikipedia (such an appeal has been made before). According to Wikipedia, 5% of its readers do not donate to Wikipedia, making it difficult for Wikipedia to survive. Wikipedia says that if we get knowledge of only Rs. 2 from it, we should give it at least Rs. 3 in a minute's time (an average of Rs. 215 per person from Wikipedia in India is being donated). However, now a new source of revenue for Wikipedia is also emerging. Accordingly, whenever Wikipedia's content is displayed on Google's search engine, it will be paid by Google to Wikipedia. When we search for anything on Google, the relevant information is mostly extracted from Wikipedia and other sources and shown to us in the form of ' Knowledge Panel ' . Google will now pay for this information from Wikipedia. Google currently pays a number of ne...

Image
These Villagers create their own Sun: Sun is very necessary for the world. Life cannot be imagined without it. Even so, sunlight becomes very necessary to get some relief from the cold. Even if there is no sunlight for a long time, people get disturbed. Now when the people of one such village did not get sunlight, they solved this problem by making an artificial sun. This is the story of Vignella, a village between Switzerland and Italy, who created this artificial sun. Between November 11 and February 2 there is very little sunlight. How to make a fake sun?
