List of ALL 118 apps banned by Indian Govt.

 Todays just news got viral that PUBG is banned by Indian Govt. Curious about the news. 

I searched for it and found that the news is truth. Many news channels and their twitter handles shows the news

And here is the list of all 118 apps

iPhone 12 is HERE!!

With New Apple's April debut of the new iPhone SE for 2020, the company showed that it's carrying on with product launches, despite the coronavirus forcing Apple to close its US retail stores indefinitely around the world. This may indicate that the upcoming iPhone 12, 12 Pro and 12 Max -- Apple has not confirmed the names of the phones, but we'll go with that for now -- are still on schedule. However, recent reports are saying otherwise and that there is a possibility that Apply may delay the sequels of the iPhone 11 phones.

Reportedly, iPhone 12 panel production has been delayed for about six weeks, earlier stated to start in June to now resuming operations at the end of July. This implies that the iPhone 12 launch will be in October instead of September this year.

iPhone 12 Specifications

Coming to the specifications, the iPhone 12 is tipped to feature a 5.4-inch Super Retina OLED display, made by China's BOE. It is also tipped to be powered by the Apple A14 Bionic chip, paired with 4GB RAM. The phone will reportedly support 5G, be wrapped in an aluminum body, and feature a dual camera setup at the back. 

The iPhone 12 Max, on the other hand, will feature a larger 6.1-inch Super Retina OLED display, also made by BOE. All the other specifications are said to remain the same as iPhone 12.

The iPhone 12 Pro model will reportedly feature a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR OLED 10-bit display with ProMotion - made by Samsung. 

Lastly, the iPhone 12 Pro Max is said to have the largest 6.7-inch Super Retina XDR Samsung OLED display with ProMotion as well. Both the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max will have a triple camera setup at the back with an additional LIDAR sensor for amplified AR capabilities. These models are also said to be powered by the Apple A14 Bionic chip, support 5G, and have aluminum body.

iPhone 12 price may be cheaper (Expected)

When the iPhone 11 debuted last year, we were pleasantly surprised that its base model cost $699, which was $50 cheaper than 2018's iPhone XR. This trend may continue, with one tech analyst reporting that Apple will price the iPhone 12 at $649 the iPhone 12 Pro at $999 and the iPhone 12 Pro Max at $1,099.

Reports suggest that iPhone 12 has come without charger and earphones.

TikTok's Rating Up Again As Google Deletes Over A Million Reviews Overnight !!

TikTok -- the short video creating/sharing app which has been under a lot of heat lately, noticed a massive drop in its rating on the Google Play Store. Just a few days ago, the rating was down to 1.2 stars. Now, there is a slight jump in the rating which now shows 1.4 (as of today) stars on Play Store.

Google has deleted over a million ratings on the Play Store for TikTok, as the number of reviews has come down from 28 million to 27 million. This means Google might delete additional ratings, which might restore the old rating of the TikTok app. It is also interesting to note that the rating of TikTok on iOS hasn't affected by this trend and it is still at 4.7 stars.

A Brief Backdrop

A YouTube video made by a user name CarryMinati went viral with millions of views within a few hours of its release. However, YouTube took down that video due to platform violations. This triggered the followers of that channel and they started some of the trends like #BanTikTok, #UninstallTikTok, and more. Many users took this opportunity to rate down the TikTok app on Play Store and the rating has been diminishing since then. In fact, many users created multiple fake accounts just to rate down the app and as a result, the app's rating was done to 1.2 stars. 

Considering the recent development, Google might remove additional ratings, probably the one created using a new Google account to restore the original rating of the app. Considering the massive negative rating, Google might restore the original rating of TikTok in the next few weeks.

What To Do when Your Gadgets broke!! Guide to use broken Gadgets and more!!

In today's blog I'm gonna tell you what to do with your broken Gadgets before throwing them into dustbin or going to service center

Well its human nature to do mistake and also learn something or anything from that mistake and also to never repeat in future. But when any of our gadget broke we instantly lost all our hope and use another gadget instead of broken one. In todays blog I'll give you all tips and tricks to use broken gadgets with ease. So lets get into it

1. When Mouse or Trackpad is not working/ broke

If your laptop trackpad or computer mouse has broken, the keyboard can do a  job as a replacement—all you need to know which keys to hit. Having a full-sized keyboard helps, as you get keys like the Page Up and Page Down keys, for quickly scrolling through websites and documents.

 Alt+Tab (Cmd+Tab on a Mac) switches between open programs, for example, Tab (and Shift+Tab) jumps between fields and web links, and you can navigate open tabs in most web browsers by holding down Ctrl (Cmd on a Mac) and tapping the number key for the tab you want to go to. There are plenty more shortcuts for Windows and macOS.

The numerical keypad, if your keyboard has one, can double up as a mouse or trackpad. From Windows Settings, choose Ease of Access then Mouse, and turn the Control your mouse with a keypad toggle switch to On. If you’re on a Mac, from System Preferences choose Accessibility, Pointer Control and Alternative Control Methods, then tick the box marked Enable Mouse Keys.

2.  When Keyboard is not working/broke

If your mouse or trackpad is working fine, and it’s the keyboard (or some of the keys on it) that are faulty. One of the ways you can tackle this is by getting a software keyboard up on screen—from Windows Settings it’s Ease of Access, Keyboard and Use the On-Screen Keyboard; from macOS System Preferences it’s Accessibility, Keyboard, Accessibility Keyboard, and Enable Accessibility Keyboard.

An on-screen keyboard isn’t ideal, but it might just help you get by. You can also control your computer fairly well with your voice these days, especially on macOS: You need to tick the Enable Voice Control box under Accessibility and Voice Control in System Preferences. Apple has a full list of the commands you can use.

Windows has something similar—it’s not quite as comprehensive, but it gets the job done. From the main Settings pane, select Ease of Access, then Speech, then Turn on Speech Recognition. You’ll be taken through a wizard that helps your computer recognize your voice. For a list of supported voice commands, see this Microsoft support document

3. Laptop Screen is broke

This one is very simple as windows and Mac both support mirror display.

Both Windows and macOS will let you duplicate what’s on the built-in laptop display and display everything to the external monitor: In Windows you need to find the Multiple displays section under Display from Settings, and in macOS tick the Mirror Displays option under Displays and Arrangement in System Preferences.

For those of you on a MacBook, there is another option if you’ve got a spare iPad to hand: You can set it up as a secondary display using the Sidecar feature built into macOS. If both devices are using the same Apple ID and have wifi and Bluetooth turned on, the iPad should appear automatically when you click on the AirPlay icon on the macOS menu bar.

4. Mobile screen is broke

I'll be honest it become almost impossible to use phone whose screen has become dark and technology doesn't work much with miracles and magic. Moving on to point if some areas of screen is not working or screen is fine but touch is not working, when very first thing you can do is to use your AI voice assistant to do normal works like sending SMS's, calling, sending messages on Whatsapp, Facebook etc.

These AI assistants like Google Assistant, Samsung's Bixby and Apple Siri really work great they get most of things done including navigating instructions from one place to another. 

5. Phone Buttons are not working/broken

Phones have a feature called Assistive Touch, which help people who can’t hold and use their phone in standard way. It also doubles up as a handy on-screen shortcut if one or more of the buttons on your phone are broken like it lets you lock the screen, change the volume, go to the Home screen, and more.

To bring up this floating circle, open Settings then choose Accessibility, Touch, and Assistive Touch. As well as using the default options that appear on the shortcut, you can set up your own custom actions as well—options for opening menus, launching Siri, taking screenshots and so on.

The nearest equivalent that Android has is the Accessibility Menu, which you can enable via Accessibility in Settings. You need to swipe up with two fingers from the bottom of the screen to see the menu, which lets you adjust the volume, turn off the phone, launch the Google Assistant, lock the screen and more with just a single tap.

And other broken Gadgets(if any)....

If you have a Google Pixel device you can use the live caption feature to have captions of words display on screen 

If your laptop speaker not working/faulty or anything then just use headphone and you are good to go. You can also use Bluetooth speaker.

If your Gadget ever broke don't instantly lose hope their are many ways that gadget can be use before you take it to repair shop or just replace it with new device

Guide for a perfect Gaming PC

Well everyone love gaming and in lockdown period its the best thing anyone got many people prefer ludo or pubg in android phone. But many people still prefer PC over any other device like phone, Xbox or PlayStation.

 

Every device has its own advantages and disadvantages but most advantageous thing about PC is its ability to upgrade as it can be upgrade anytime but important thing here is PC should be upgrade with the perfect component and maybe save some money in process. So lets get straight into it.

In this guide I will only cover the budget friendly Gaming PC that handle most high Games easily like PUBG or GTA 5/V

Step 1. Choose your budget

I will cover 3 ranges from Rs 40,000 to 1,10,000 and are given below

Rs 40,000 – Rs 50,000: This price range provides brilliant value for money and will suit a normal gamer well who just wants to play the newest of the games at high quality.

•Rs 70,000 – Rs 80,000: In this price range one can get so much performance that even while playing the heavy titles the user can still used for streaming the gameplay on YouTube.

•Rs 1,00,000 – Rs 1,10,000: This range would most likely suit a professional gamer or a content creator dealing with heavy 4k footage or playing the biggest titles with zero compromises.

Step 2. Choose CPU and right Motherboard 

There are only 2 contenders for CPU, one is Intel and other is AMD. Both produces best CPU's in their respective manner and choosing right motherboard is also important 

At Rs 40,000 – Rs 50,000 price point a Ryzen 3 3500 along with a B450M Motherboard will fit well. Ryzen 5 3500 with its 6 Zen 2 cores and 12 threads would perform great in any game. Since games usually only require 4 cores, with its 2 extra cores. This CPU could also handle some basic streaming if required.

At Rs 70,000 – Rs 80,000 range, a Ryzen 3600X along with a high end B450M motherboard, would serve a gamer very well at this price point, the great single core performance of this CPU would be able to handle any game at high details even while streaming at 1080p 30FPS on Youtube or Twitch.

As we get to the  Rs1,00,000 – Rs 1,10,000 price point, we can get some class performance from our CPU, the Ryzen 7 3800X paired with any mid-range X570 motherboard with its 8 powerful Zen 2 cores and 16 threads can handle anything from gaming to 4K video rendering.

Step 3. How much RAM you actually need??

Its true bigger the RAM better is the performance but its half truth as even in RAM their are many factors that to be kept in mind. Hence it becomes very tricky to buy the right RAM.

The Ryzen CPUs love fast DDR4 memories hence in terms of frequency you would at least want 3200MHz RAM. We would still recommend 3200MHz RAM even if you have an Intel CPU, but you can drop down to 3000MHz if you have price constraints.

•If you just want to play games and stream rarely then an 8 GB DDR4 3200 MHz stick from either Corsair, Adata, Hyper X, G Skill or Kingston would be enough for the purpose and this amount is also recommended at the price range of Rs 40,000 – Rs 50,000. If in future, there is some cash lying around then adding another identical 8 GB stick would future proof your system for a few thousand rupees.

•At Rs 70,000 – Rs 80,000 anything less than two sticks of 8 GB DDR4 3200MHz RAM would be a crime. If in some case, there exists some headroom going for 3600MHz RAM would significantly improve your system performance. This amount would be enough for basic video editing and streaming as well.

•When you want to edit 4K video then you at least need 32 GB of fast DDR4 memory so either 2 sticks of 16 GB DDR4 3600MHz or 4 Sticks of 8 GB DDR4 3600MHz would be our recommendation. This would also fit in well within our Rs 1,00,000 – Rs 1,10,000 price range.

Step 4. GPU or Graphic Card

Every Gamer out there have definitely heard what a Graphic card is and how much it is important for a gaming PC.

Currently in the Indian market GTX or RTX Graphics cards are the best bets because they offer then best price to performance ratio.

•At our Rs 40,000 – Rs 50,000 budget the best fit is the GTX 1650 Super from reputed manufacturers like Zotac, MSI, Gigabyte, GALAX, INNO 3D or Sapphire. It is the best card for budget 1080p gaming with guaranteed 100+ FPS in most popular Esports titles at High – Medium settings and matches very well with our CPU of choice – the Ryzen 3500.

•While at Rs 70,000 – Rs 80,000 The RTX 2060 is going to deliver enough performance to play at 1440p or even at 4K in some cases. This card also supports Ray Tracing feature which really brings the reality into any game that supports it. You can easily get 100+ FPS at 1440p and 60+ FPS at 4k.

•As we reach the Rs 1,00,000 – Rs 1,10,000 then there aren’t many choices there is either the RTX 2070 or the RTX 2070 Super. If there is possibility of squeezing in the RTX 2070 Super then it wouldn’t be a bad investment. The RTX 2070 and its super variant along with its Ray Tracing support can also easily play any game at 4K high settings. This card can easily deliver 90+ FPS at 4K in most games.

Step 5. Choosing the Power Supply

It’s actually very simple to choose a power supply there are only two rules:

1.Choose at least an 80+ rated power supply from experienced manufacturers like Corsair, Cooler Master, Gigabyte, Seasonic or Thermaltake.

2.Choose a PSU which has capacity of 20%-30% more power capacity than what your computer needs, since this would future proof your build and never lets your PSU run at 100% while doing heavy tasks.

These are our recommendations at the price ranges:

•At Rs 40,000 – Rs 50,000: 500W 80 + ratted

•At Rs 70,000 – Rs 80,000: 650W 80 + Bronze ratted

•At Rs 1,00,000 – Rs 1,10,000: 750W 80+ Bronze ratted

Step 6. choosing the storage

In 2020 SSD is must have equipment in atleast Gaming PC but its not compulsory. But I suggest you to purchase it now to make sure your PC survives in Future

It is of prime importance that we would install our OS on the SSD otherwise we would lose the purpose of putting one in. Windows basically works instantaneously on an SSD making our computing experience a breeze. We would recommend that you stick to one of these reputed storage manufacturers like Gigabyte, Intel, WD, Samsung, Adtata or Toshiba. As a reference point in terms of speed HARD DRIVE < SATA SSD < NVMe SSD.

•At Rs 40,000 – Rs 50,000: 120GB 2.5 Inch SATA SSD + 1TB 7200rpm Hard drive

•At Rs 70,000 – Rs 80,000: 256GB NVMe SSD + 1TB 7200rpm Hard drive

•At Rs 1,00,000 – Rs 1,10,000: 512GB NVMe SSD + 2TB 7200rpm Hard drive

STEP 8 – CPU Cooler

CPU Coolers, as the name suggests keep the CPU cool, also good cooling would help your CPU reach its peak more often and for longer. Liquid cooling is only recommended when you are planning to Overclock your CPU, keep in mind that overclocking voids all warranties. But at a higher budget an AIO Liquid cooler would be a better choice Also, we again recommend sticking with reputed manufactures like Corsair, Cooler Master, NZXT, Thermaltake or Antec.

•At Rs 40,000 – Rs 50,000: AMD Cooler (Comes inside the CPU BOX)

•At Rs 70,000 – Rs 80,000: COOLER MASTER HYP.410 RGB

•At Rs 1,00,000 – Rs 1,10,000: COOLER MASTER ML 120 RGB

Step 7 – Choose your cabinet

There are several types of cabinets in terms of standardized sizes like MINI ITX and Micro ATX, Full Form ATX, Mid Tower etc. But we will focus on Mid Tower since these Mid Tower cases have optimum air flow and enough space for any of the systems we are building.

There are a lot of choices like RGB, side panel and design hence it comes down to personal preference, but the only thing to keep in mind is that you purchase a cabinet from a reputed manufacturer like Corsair, Cooler Master, Antec, Thermaltake, Circle, Antec, LIAN Li, NZXT. In any case, here our recommendations:

• At Rs 40,000 – Rs 50,000: ANTEC NX 200

•At Rs 70,000 – Rs 80,000: COOLER MASTER K 501 L

•At Rs 1,00,000 – Rs 1,10,000: COOLER MASTER PRO 5 RGB

Building the computer

After buying the parts from an online retailer or offline, you can either build the system on your own or if you have bought the parts offline, they would usually build it for free or for nominal charges.

If you want to have the experience of building the computer on your own, then thousands of detailed YouTube videos that will guide you through the process.
