OpenAI is considering allowing generation of NSFW content
OpenAI is considering allowing NSFW content generation on DALL-E and more importantly, ChatGPT. Despite this, they will still have a ban on deepfake content, especially adult related. This suggestion was revealed in a recent document that talks about the development of the AI.
Now, the main point is: OpenAI MAY allow NSFW soon. And as it's the leader in AI space, consider how other AI services (ESPECIALLY Character.ai) react.

Indian Government To Ban Wi-Fi 6E Routers in India
ET
The Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) has urged the government to ban the sale of wifi 6E routers that utilize the 6 GHz spectrum band for data transmission, as the government has NOT yet decided on the use of these frequencies.
COAI, representing major telecom players like Reliance Jio, Airtel, and Vodafone Idea, alleges that these routers are being sold illegally through online platforms like Amazon, Flipkart, and Moglix, as well as offline traders.
Acc to COAI, the sale of equipment for 6 GHz band utilization, which has not yet been assigned for this purpose or has not been declared as license-exempt by the government is illegal and such sale would only result in unauthorized transmissions in our country, thus it should be banned immediately in the country.

Android 15 Will Force Dark Mode On Every App
Source
With Android 10, Google introduced support for a system-wide dark mode toggle with the "Override Force-Dark" option which is available in Developer Settings
The feature works by analyzing “each view of your light-themed app and applies a dark theme automatically before it is drawn to the screen.”
However, apps “must opt-in to Force Dark,” indicating they can opt out of it as well.
Now in the January Android 14 QPR2 Beta 2 update, Google hid a new “make all apps dark” toggle under Settings > Accessibility > Color and Motion.
This toggle, which wasn’t visible by default then (and still isn’t as of the latest Android 15 Beta 1.2) is similar to the 'override force-dark' option.
But, the “make all apps dark” works in more apps than “override force-dark”, suggesting that the existing developer opt-out no longer works and that the underlying force-dark algorithm is different.
Google will introduce it with Android 15 release

Nothing Smartphone Ultra XDR is just renamed Google Ultra HDR
Nothing recently rolled out Ultra XDR to the Phone 2 and the feature was introduced with the Nothing Phone 2a launch event
However, the Nothing's Ultra XDR feature is NOT any new feature developed by Nothing & is basically Google's Ultra HDR which Google introduced with the Android 14 release and Nothing then just renamed for fake hype
Unlike Nothing, The Pro XDR advertised by OnePlus/Oppo for their smartphones is different as BBK uses their own HDR algorithm and tuning for their smartphones
Also, it existed BEFORE Google announced Ultra HDR

Google Wallet launches in India, with local integrations, but Pay will stay
Google Wallet has finally launched in India. It is rolling out in batches, so not everyone can install it now.
Google will continue to run Google Pay as a stand-alone app in the country, at least for now.
While we don’t have anything new to share right now, we’re always working to bring more convenience to people’s digital experiences in India. We’re continuing to invest in the Google Pay app to give people easy, secure access to digital payments.
Here's a quick demo of the new, more context-aware Gemini app for Android.
The new app supports drag-and-drop of images, can show take a YouTube video as context if you tap "Ask this video", and can take a PDF as context if you tap "Ask this PDF".
Elon Musk’s Neuralink reports trouble with first human brain chip
The first invasive brain chip Neuralink embedded into a human brain has malfunctioned, with neuron-surveilling threads appearing to have dislodged from the brain.
Neuralink's invasive implant includes 64 flexible threads carrying a total of 1,024 electrodes that can detect neuronal activity. The company's proprietary surgical robot inserts those flexible threads individually into the brain.
It remains unclear why the threads moved from their placement, but one hypothesis is that there was air trapped inside Arbaugh's skull after the surgery, a condition called pneumocephalus. The possibility of removing the implant was considered after the problem was identified.
Arbaugh's safety does not appear to be negatively impacted, However, the retraction of the threads lowered the patient's bits-per-second (BPS) rate, which is used to measure how quickly and accurately a patient with an implant can control a computer cursor.

United States Sanctions Senior Leader of the LockBit Ransomware Group
The United States, along with its allies, has identified and sanctioned Dmitry Yuryevich Khoroshev, a leader of the LockBit ransomware group. Khoroshev is believed to be responsible for developing and distributing LockBit ransomware, which has targeted critical infrastructure sectors worldwide. The US Department of State is offering a reward of up to $10 million for information that leads to Khoroshev's arrest.
LockBit is a Ransomware-as-a-Service group responsible for numerous attacks, including the attack on the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China's U.S. broker-dealer and Chicago's Saint Anthony Hospital.
The sanctions imposed on Khoroshev will freeze his assets in the United States and prohibit US persons from doing business with him.
Edit:
Lockbit ransomware group has made a statement to the FBI. It says: "The FBI is bluffing, I’m not Dimon, I feel sorry for the real Dimon))) oh, and he’ll get p**sy for my sins)))"

OpenAI may launch search engine to take on Google
Popular tipster Jimmy Apples on X platform has claimed that OpenAI is expected to host an event on May 9, a week ahead of Google's annual I/O event (May 14).
In a recent podcast with Lex Fridman, Altman emphasized OpenAI's desire to avoid simply replicating Google Search. "I find the current model boring. The question shouldn't be about building a 'better' Google Search. It's about fundamentally improving information discovery, utilization, and synthesis," he explained.
It is widely reported that OpenAI is said to have used some of Microsoft Bing's resources to build its search engine.
This could also render Perplexity AI obsolete.

Meizu 21 Note........ Or is it?
For few days, the pictures of this phone were strangling around internet, from Twitter/X and to this group.
Most "leakers" and news outlets tend to claim that this is exactly "how" Meizu 21 Note/21X looks like.
Unfortunately, we have to debunk this claim by saying that this is a cancelled Mblu phone, that is being repurposed for entry-level market for Malaysia under Meizu's logo and has no relation to 21 lineup (Hence the model number being M411H, where 4 is the last digit of year of release, and the first 1 being an indication for the lowest lineup of brand, and H being an indication for it being a global model)
Meizu 21 Note is yet to be known in terms of how it looks, but the model number indicates that this will be a midrange device (M468Q)

WhatsApp tells Delhi High Court it will shut down in India if forced to break encryption
The court was hearing petitions filed by WhatsApp and its parent company Meta challenging Rule 4(2) of the Information Technology Rules, 2021. Rule 4(2) says ‘significant’ social media intermediaries (those with more than five million registered users) must be able to identify the first originator of any information (text, photo, video, etc) on its platform when ordered to do so by a court or another competent authority.
WhatsApp said that complying with the rule would require storing vast numbers of messages for extended periods, which no other country mandates. It said the rule exceeded the scope of its parent law, the Information Technology Act, which does not mandate breaking encryption.
The government argued that there must be a mechanism in place to trace the originators of messages, citing the need for accountability. The court has adjourned the case to 14 August.
As a platform we are saying that if we are told to break encryption, then WhatsApp goes
Samsung's Legendary JN1 Sensor

The sensor is made for “every smartphone, from mid-range to flagship"
Samsung used it as its 'primary camera' on their mid-rangers Galaxy M series & Xiaomi used it in their budget devices like Redmi 10
It was then used as Ultrawide camera in smartphones like Nothing Phone 1 and Phone 2
Xiaomi used the same as Telephoto Camera in Flagship Mi 13 series
OEMs will now use the same sensor as the selfie camera on their smartphones

Apple pulls WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal and Threads from China app store after Beijing order
Apple said that it has removed WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal and Threads from its App Store in China after being ordered to do so by the Chinese government, which cited national security concerns.
The removal of the four apps suggests growing intolerance on the part of China's central government towards at least some foreign online messaging services that fall outside of its control. It also signals less leeway for Apple in China.
Residents of China seeking unfiltered news, who can sometimes access it using foreign messaging apps through VPNs, now have a lot fewer choices.
