An FIR in this case was registered at the Borivali police station on April 16. The complainant told the police that he tried to pay his electricity bill for the month of March through an e-wallet. But the electricity bill displayed on the e-wallet app was much more than the actual amount. So, he searched on Google for a helpline number of the e-wallet company.The complainant added that he then dialed a number and a man answered his call, introducing himself as a customer care executive with the e-wallet’s Noida office. The purported customer care executive then asked the victim to download the Anydesk application on his phone. The man was told to type out his bank details on his phone to solve the issue. Notably, the Anydesk application provides third-party access to one’s mobile activities. However, the man told the police he believed the fraudster as the e-wallet company has an office in Noida.The fraud came to light only when the man received a phone call from the SBI informing him that several banking transactions were taking place from his account, but by then Rs 5.06 lakh was siphoned off by cyber criminals.The police said the man was unaware that cyber criminals try to pass off their phone numbers as customer care numbers of banks, e-wallets and online shopping portals, among others.

All you need to do nowadays is install a casino's app on your mobile device, and you can bet on your favourite sports and casino games wherever you are. In addition, you can get a variety of gadgets to enhance your overall gaming experience. In this article, we shall explain how to choose and download the right app for your device, provide a quick 10CRIC app review as one of the best examples of mobile gaming on today's market, and briefly mention some additional gadgets that can boost the joy and convenience of betting on an infinite variety of options. Apps for Different Devices The first thing to establish before downloading an app is which type of mobile device you have. Generally, you will need different applications for and all other types, including iOS. Most gaming providers will offer you apps for both, but the installation procedure will be slightly different. Android Devices You find this type of apps on Google Play Store, and it takes a little longer to complete because you will need to install an APK file first. Alternatively, you can get the necessary links directly from the site. 10CRIC app is a good example of the casinos that allow you to download both the APK and the app from their webpages: Change the settings on your device to permit installations from unknown sources. Follow the APK link and tap on Download APK. Find the file on your device and tap on Yes. Follow the link to the Android app and tap on Install (or Download). Tap on Accept and Continue and run the app to complete the procedure. iOS Devices In this case, the download is pretty straightforward and quick. But remember that you will need to look for the application on Apple App Store or ask the casino for a link: Follow the link to the app. Tap on Download. Tap on Confirm. 10CRIC Betting App Founded in Cyprus and holding a license from Curacao, this casino is currently one of the most po[CENSORED]r gaming platforms, especially among Indian players. One of the reasons for its po[CENSORED]rity in that country is that it accepts Indian rupees and cryptocurrencies for both deposits and withdrawals. The operator offers excellent apps for all types of mobile devices, which give you access to all the settings and functions via an exceptionally user-friendly interface. The 10CRIC app download procedure is very simple and only takes a few minutes to complete.In the case of an Android device, you can ask customer support to send you a link for a 10CRIC APK file, which you can download together with the app. And once you register, you will receive a generous 100% welcome bonus of up to Rs. 10K. The table below shows system requirements for the optimal operation of this casino's applications: Operating system Processor RAM Free memory 6.0 for Android 8.0 for iOS 1 GHz 1 Gb or more 29 Mb or more Additional Gadgets Betting on the go is not the only benefit you can get from modern digital technology, though. The market is now filled with myriads of accessories to enhance your gaming experience. The most outstanding examples include: Consoles This gadget allows you to connect the speakers, TV screen and a handheld console for a truly interactive three-dimensional playing experience. Alternatively, you can find a portable one with a rechargeable battery to have the thrill on the go. As a rule, video consoles are very easy to set up and operate, and they are a lot more affordable than personal computers too. HMD This is a helmet with either monocular or binocular display that allows you to experience the three-dimensional effect of the game, just like a portable IMAX screen. Put the helmet on, and enjoy the thrill like never before. TOP As a variation on the previous theme, this is, effectively, a combination of a head-mounted display and an inertial measurement unit which provides a stereoscopic image, head motion tracking and stereo sound effect. No need to look at the IMAX screen anymore - you can now step in and enjoy the virtual reality of the game. Besides, some of these headsets can also track your eye movements and include hand panels for the manual control of the objects in the game. Get yourself a full package and join the plot of the game as one of its characters. Smart Mouse You can also enhance the overall experience by adding an optical mouse with numerous programmable buttons for more comfortable and precise clicking. Small things do count, after all. Smartwatch You can even get yourself a miniature portable computer with a touchscreen interface to wear on your wrist like a watch, and some of them include the clocks as well. This way, you can literally keep your finger on the pulse while placing your bets. Conclusion Modern digital technology offers so many ways to enjoy your favourite games on the go, and the variety of gadgets keeps expanding too. It is now possible to enter the 3D reality of a physical venue on the beach, at home or even on the bus. Moreover, sites like 10CRIC provide an endless list of games and generously reward you for playing them too.

Rama Rao has written to Union Electronics and IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw urging him to sanction new software technology parks (STPs) for tier two and three towns like Nizamabad, Karimnagar, Nalgonda, Khammam and Mahbubnagar. He drew attention of the Union Minister to a reply by his deputy and Minister of State Rajeev Chandrasekhar in the Lok Sabha on April 6 that the Union government had sanctioned 22 new STPs for tier two and three towns in the country but none of the towns from Telangana featured in the list. On the other hand, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Kerala, Arunachal Pradesh, Odisha, Bihar, Haryana, Gujarat, Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh were in the list.Recalling that the Centre seemed to have ignored a performing State like Telangana in sanction of new software technology parks, Mr. Rao said the State had started construction of IT hubs in the above tier two and three towns. The government had built plug and play infrastructure in these towns. It saw huge interest from both major multinational IT companies and also small and medium enterprises to set up their operations in these towns. The government took several measures to develop the towns as IT powerhouses and facilitate the growth of a complete ecosystem like Hyderabad in these towns. IT sector witnessed tremendous growth in Telangana after its emergence as a State. Software exports which were ₹57,258 crore when the State was formed grew to ₹1.45 lakh crore in 2021-22. The headcount of IT employees went up from 3.23 lakh to 6.28 lakh. Mr. Rao said majority of the IT/ITES exports of Telangana came from Hyderabad which was a major IT hub not only in India but world. Therefore, the government expanded its IT activities to tier two and three towns to generate more employment opportunities. Now, the Union government meted out a raw deal to the State in sanction of STPs and, earlier, withdrew the Information Technology Investment Region sanctioned to Hyderabad by the earlier UPA government. Several reminders by himself and Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao to the Centre to restore the project to Hyderabad were in vain.

Real Money Columnist Stephen "Sarge" Guilfoyle looked over the stock to assess what's going on with the world's most valuable company. Guilfoyle noted that Nikkei Asia reported recently that "Apple will be slashing its iPhone SE output by up to 20% for the next quarter by as much as 20%, lowering the number of phones made to 2 million from 3 million. Apple is also lowering orders for AirPods by over 10 million units for 2022, according to the article. Suppliers have also been asked by Apple to manufacture a "couple million" fewer iPhone 13 units due to 'seasonal demand.'" Do I sell AAPL on this morning's news?” he wrote in a recent Real Money Pro column. “Maybe if one is a trader. I do not. When it comes to AAPL, I am an investor. Do I add? Probably not up here." Wedbush analyst Dan Ives reported seeing "stellar" demand for Apple's iPhone 13 globally, Guilfoyle noted, while Cowen analyst Krish Sankar said that sales for iPhone SE were "healthy." The reports come at a time when Apple may be looking to shift its business model significantly, according to Guilfoyle. The company has reportedly begun exploring a subscription model that would generate more revenue and help consumers own iPhones, Macs and other Apple hardware via an installment plan. “The idea would be for a greater portion of Apple's hardware driven revenue to be converted to a recurring revenue style that is more reliable, more predictable, and more akin to software and services than it is to hardware,” Guilfoyle wrote. “Recurring revenue is also more highly valued by Wall Street.” That could be a game changer as the company deals with the consequences of the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the ongoing lockdowns in China due to the spread of the coronavirus there. “It comes down to this... does the positive impact of making hardware subscribable outweigh the negative impacts of slowed activity in China and war in Europe?” he wrote. “Subscribable hardware will likely result in more hardware and higher end hardware moving more briskly once supplies are not an issue. I would think.”

Link : https://venturebeat.com/2022/04/15/plg-an-acronym-that-will-transform-software/ If there’s a single constant to the software industry, it’s that it keeps evolving. We’re now on the cusp of its newest shift. For most of its history, the industry was organized around an on-premises delivery model. Business customers would buy software licenses for a specific number of applications that their employees would access from their individual machines, or via a centralized server.There were a couple of problems with that approach: Applications didn’t get upgraded until the company responsible for the software came in and made changes to the client’s centralized server stack. There was little incentive for software developers to make the best possible product. Once an app was embedded inside an organization, the sale was done and employees had to use the product, even if they hated it. Any problems would need to wait for fixes in the next update. Whenever that was. A welcome alternative arrived in 1999 with Software as a Service (SaaS) when Salesforce launched its customer relationship management solution. SaaS allowed for easier buying and deployment. Customers no longer needed to wait for a vendor to arrive and fiddle with a server to roll out the right number of licenses. Businesses could instead pay for their apps on a monthly basis as part of a service subscription. While SaaS marked an important evolution, product purchases were still subject to the edicts of a handful of executives deciding for the rest of the organization. The people inside the company who used the product every day didn’t get to vote or offer feedback — even if they hated using a product. The C-suite made the final decision. We’re now in the midst of another software evolution, one that puts users front and center in the product conversation where they’re going to have a determining say in what they use in business. It’s a concept known as product-led growth or PLG. Why PLG The messaging behind PLG often gets muddled with marketing speak. For me, as an engineer and a software builder, it’s simple: PLG represents the purest form of building technology. It’s about developing products so that they’re useful to the people working with them.Philosophically, the approach rests on the recognition that the constellation of buying power has shifted. We had already been heading in this direction, but the transition accelerated during the pandemic. Nowadays, you’ll find senior executives openly acknowledging they don’t retain the buying power they once had. I’m speaking from first-hand experience. As CEO of a software company, I never had any plans to buy Slack for our employees. Then it spread rapidly across our organization as one department after the next adopted its “freemium” offering. It didn’t take long before we hit our usage and functional limitations. And because we needed the enhanced features that helped with things such as privacy or compliance, I had no choice but to buy the full product. Toward a new product management framework The PLG era will demand changes in the way we think about product management frameworks. While software makers will still need to build for administrators and address enterprise values — specifically when it comes to the B2B world — they’ll need to put the user at the center of everything they do.That’s a fine-sounding phrase that’s received short shrift when it comes to putting it into practice. When I worked at Blackberry, I remember how we had a customer advisory board that was sometimes referred to as The Angry Men. They had a big influence over what the product management teams focused on. Sometimes, their feedback helped, but more often it focused the business on the short-term objective of how to make the most money. I don’t know how many companies can survive using such a narrow framework. Customers will always tell you what they want, but it’s up to you to deliver what they actually need. Steve Jobs was famous for building for the end user, which is arguably one of the reasons so many smartphone manufacturers went obsolete. The iPhone was never built for enterprise use. Blackberry was. Yet the iPhone eventually overwhelmed them because the consumer had the purchasing power and ultimately chose what they wanted to use. People wanted to play Angry Birds in their free moments, and Blackberry didn’t build a solution that allowed them to do that. And so, the end user won.We’re now living in a world where products get instant feedback from actual users leaving reviews on the likes of the Google Chrome store, G2 Crowd, or in random posts on LinkedIn. So instead of relying on selected feedback from a handful of customers possessing outsized influence, companies now must listen to hundreds of thousands of users publicly talking about their experiences with their products. That’s a huge change. In my role as a venture capitalist, I’ve had countless calls with CEOs, many of whom run top-down sales organizations, telling me they understand this shift and want to turn their organizations into PLG companies. Great. But I tell them they need to delight users almost instantly. It’s hard to engineer a PLG gene into your corporate DNA. But look at what happens when you do it right. For the longest time, Facebook had no revenue. It didn’t matter because hundreds of millions of users loved the product. They owned their audience and so when Facebook finally turned on ads, it became one of the most valuable companies — essentially overnight. This is a roundabout way of saying that design must be a core element of the PLG process. In this new world we find ourselves in, the bar has been set higher. It’s Results as a Service — the total democratization of business software, where every user has to get value. We’re moving on from the SaaS and on-prem eras and products need to be of sufficiently high quality to garner support from the broader community of end users.

Link : https://www.tomshardware.com/news/apple-begins-testing-m2-based-macs Apple has begun testing new notebooks and desktops running its next-generation M2 system-on-chips (SoCs), according to developer logs. The company began testing some of these systems quite some time ago, but it is still unclear whether Apple plans to announce them at its upcoming WWDC conference in June and when exactly they are set to be launched. Apple is testing at least nine new Macs based on M2, M2 Pro, M2 Max, and M2 Ultra SoCs, according to a Bloomberg report. Previous leaks indicated that the M2 family is largely based on Apple's A15 Bionic architectures, so the new report largely confirms this information and sheds some additional light on the specifications of the new processors. As it turns out, the new M2 will not get any increase in terms of core count, but will get a GPU with more clusters. The M2 Pro will gain two more energy-efficient cores, whereas the M2 Max will get more energy-efficient cores and a better GPU (see the table below for details). Since the new SoCs will be made using TSMC's N5P fabrication technology, Apple could not tangibly increase CPU core and GPU cluster counts, so expect moderate performance uplifts from architectural improvements, some performance surges from the increased core/cluster counts, and some additional oomph from higher clocks. The list of M2-based systems that Apple is testing includes its new MacBook Air, entry-level MacBook Pro, 14-inch MacBook Pro, 16-inch MacBook Pro, and an all-new Mac Pro. Surprisingly, the list does not include any iMacs. Meanwhile, all these systems have their own launch schedules and windows and therefore will not likely be introduced at the same time.For example, a revamped MacBook Air and probably Mac Mini are expected at WWDC in early June. The MacBook Air is expected to feature an all-new design, so showing it off at the upcoming conference will certainly attract a lot of attention to the event given how po[CENSORED]r that model is. Meanwhile, the next-generation Mac Mini has already been listed in Apple Studio Display's firmware as MacMini 10.1 (the current is 9.1), which is a clear indicator that a new model is incoming, reports 9to5Mac. Since it takes some time for Apple to adopt its latest microarchitectures to Pro and Max SoCs, do not expect an M2 Pro or M2 Max-based MacBook Pro or Mac Mini to emerge for a while. A reasonable guess would be by the end of the year, but that's pure speculation. Assuming that M2 Max SoC is months off, the M2 Ultra will probably arrive at even later date, so do not expect the new Mac Pro to arrive any time soon. Like most other companies, Apple does not comment on unreleased products, so we cannot verify whether the unofficial information is correct. But, WWDC is looming and this might be the conference where the company will share the first details about its M2-based PCs.

The event connects residents with broken items with volunteer fixers in partnership with NewMakeIt. You can bring your small appliances, clothing, toys, bikes, and electronics that are an need of a little TLC. While there is no guarantee they will be repaired, fixers will give it their best shot and it's completely free. However, there is a list of items that can't be fixed, including sewing machines, broken zippers, hems and alterations, gas-powered machinery, items containing hazardous waste, large kitchen appliances, and single serve coffee machines. Fixers are also able to refuse any repair at their own discretion. The goal of the repair café is to give a second chance to items instead of throwing them away. It also provides an opportunity to teach people how to repair their own items moving forward. There are a few rules that guests must follow for this event. You can only bring one item and you must bring any required repair parts with you. Visitors are also responsible for tidying and removing any parts or broken objects that could not be fixed. You must also register for a time slot in advance. Booking is done online through the library website but times are limited and are already filling up fast. The 11 and 11:30 a.m. slots are both fully booked but you can sign up now for the noon, 12:30 p.m., 1:30 p.m., 2 p.m., or 2:30 p.m. slots.

As part of the OCP’s new hardware–software co-design strategy we are pleased to have new contributions from Microsoft and Intel and continue our collaboration with the SONiC Project at the Linux Foundation,” said George Tchaparian, CEO Open Compute Project Foundation. Hardware-software co-design takes on new importance as software workloads become more diverse requiring specialized silicon to deliver top performance at an acceptable energy and ecological cost. System software, or firmware, will need to be designed using knowledge of the underlying hardware architecture to make appropriate engineering trade-offs along the cost vs performance curve enabling greener software. The recent contribution of Microsoft and Intel of the Scalable I/O Virtualization specification is an important example of OCP’s hardware-software co-design strategy where SIOV provides a hardware and software architecture for mass-scale virtualization of I/O. This specification is an evolution of SR-IOV (single root input output virtualization) removing scaling limitations, enabling 100’s and 1,000’s of VMs (virtual machines) or software containers to dynamically share a pool of I/O devices meeting the requirements of today’s modern cloud native software. The OCP intends to grow a healthy community around SIOV becoming a catalyst to spark innovation in silicon and cloud architectures.Collaboration between the OCP and the Linux Foundation expands to include the SONiC Project. In alignment with hardware-software co-design, collaboration continues around the Switch Abstraction Interface (SAI) project remaining at OCP and SONiC now at the Linux Foundation. The OCP is pleased that this collaboration allows the OCP to benefit from larger acceptance of SONiC by the Linux Foundation software development community, creating pull for OCP recognized switch hardware, opening new market verticals for OCP recognized equipment. While SONiC is the OS of choice for many hyperscale data center operators, other market segments need specialized features and SAI will enable the market to choose the switch OS best suited to its use cases. “The market for Data Center Infrastructure continues to evolve with increased silicon diversity prompted by adoption of AI and ML workloads. This diversity is reshaping the market which is under pressure to deliver the high-performance computational infrastructure that also manages its power and ecological footprint. These combinations of requirements make hardware-software co-design an imperative.” said Ashish Nadkarni, Group Vice President, Infrastructure Systems, Worldwide Infrastructure at IDC. Support from Key Stakeholders Intel (SIOV) “Intel is committed to open standards as the fuel that that powers inclusive, innovative ecosystems,” said Ronak Singhal, Senior Fellow and Chief Architect for Intel Xeon Roadmap & Technology at Intel. “By partnering with Open Compute Project to host the new Scalable I/O Virtualization (SIOV) specification, the whole CPU and PCIe device ecosystem can accelerate adoption of more scalable, efficient and high-performance I/O virtualization for the hyperscale era.” Microsoft (SONiC) “The open source SONiC Network Operating System is enabling rapid innovation across the network ecosystem, and it began with the definition of the Switch Abstraction Interface (SAI) at OCP. OCP and SONiC have contributed tremendously to each other’s growth in the last several years. SONiC is now joining the Linux Foundation to expand the communities and industries it serves. The OCP & LF SONiC Foundation will continue to work closely together across hardware and SAI specifications as part of the OCP’s hardware-software co-design strategy,” said Dave Maltz, SONiC Foundation Board Member and Technical Fellow/CVP, Microsoft. Linux Foundation “The Linux Foundation is happy to welcome SONiC, a leader in open source data center NOS deployments, to our growing community of open networking projects and developer communities,” said Arpit Joshipura, general manager, Networking, Edge, and IoT, the Linux Foundation. “As we focus on the software component of SONiC, we look forward to partnering with the Open Compute Foundation (OCP) on aligning hardware and specifications such as SAI.” About the Open Compute Project Foundation At the core of the open compute project (OCP) is its community of hyperscale data center operators, joined by telecom and colocation providers and enterprise IT users, working with vendors to develop open innovations that when embedded in product are deployed from the cloud to the edge. The OCP Foundation is responsible for fostering and serving the OCP community to meet the market and shape the future, taking hyperscale led innovations to everyone. Meeting the market is accomplished through open designs and best practices, and with data center facility and IT equipment embedding OCP community developed innovations for efficiency, at-scale operations, and sustainability. Shaping the future includes investing in strategic initiatives that prepares the IT ecosystem for major changes, such as AI & ML, optics, advanced cooling techniques,and composable silicon.

The price of Peloton’s original Bike will now be US$1,195, down US$300, and the higher-end Bike+ will drop US$500 to US$1,995. The fitness company’s treadmill will cost US$2,345, down US$150. “We want more people to be able to afford our hardware,” the New York-based company said in a statement. “This is a strategic decision to play for scale and increase market share.” To offset the lower cost of the hardware, the company plans to increase its monthly subscription fee for the first time in eight years. The price is rising to US$44 from US$39 per month in the U.S. and to US$55 from US$49 in Canada, but isn’t currently changing internationally. New Chief Executive Officer Barry McCarthy is betting he can lure more customers to Peloton’s platform, which has long been viewed as a luxury product, and then collect more revenue from a bigger customer base. The company had been a highflier during the pandemic, when stuck-at-home consumers snapped up its product, but demand slowed in the past year and its stock plummeted. Peloton investors initially applauded the new pricing strategy, sending the shares up nearly 6 per cent, but the rally soon faded. The stock was down 0.6 per cent to US$24.89 as of 11:12 a.m. in New York. Peloton has lost more than three-quarters of its value over the past year. McCarthy embarked on a turnaround plan after taking the job in February, part of a shake-up that included management departures and layoffs. Former CEO and co-founder John Foley became executive chairman as part of the changes. The monthly subscription service, known as the All-Access Membership, allows Peloton hardware customers to attend the company’s full array of virtual workout classes. The company had 2.77 million subscribers as of its second quarter this year, along with gross margins of nearly 68 per cent. Peloton’s hardware margins are much lower -- 6.4 per cent in the second quarter -- and the price cuts will squeeze them further. “There’s a cost to creating exceptional content and an engaging platform, and this price increase will help us continue to deliver for our members,” Peloton said. “The price of hardware relative to the subscription is one of many levers by which we are looking to reduce barriers to entry.” Peloton, which said the cuts will be effective at 6 p.m. New York time on Thursday, recently also lowered the price of its new Guide strength-training device for television sets by US$200. The subscription fee changes take effect June 1. Under the new pricing plan, the regular Bike will still have a US$250 shipping fee. The Tread product has a US$350 shipping fee, but the Bike+ doesn’t have such a charge. The shift comes the day after investor Blackwells Capital LLC reiterated a plea for the company to be put up for sale and criticized its performance under McCarthy. Peloton has lost an additional US$2 billion in market value since the overhaul in February and it’s time for bigger changes, Blackwells said. The price cuts are the second major shift under McCarthy, who unveiled a test in March for users to rent Peloton bikes for a monthly fee that also includes the content subscription service.
