    Microsoft may bring split-screen feature to Edge

    [ad_1]

    San Francisco: Microsoft is reportedly testing a new split-screen feature for Edge that will let users compare two tabs side-by-side.

    The feature was discovered by a Reddit user named Leopeva64-2 and is now available in the beta, dev, and canary versions of Microsoft Edge with an experimental flag, reports The Verge.

    Once the feature becomes enabled, a new button will appear alongside the address bar, letting users split an Edge window into two separate tabs side-by-side.

    Windows already allows you to compare tabs next to each other by dragging the tab to the right or left of the screen and using the built-in Windows split view, but doing this is fiddly unless you drag the tab all the way there, said the report.

    This built-in split view in Edge makes it easier in a single click, without having to re-arrange your tabs or open up a new window of a browser.

    Meanwhile, Microsoft ended support for Edge web browser on both Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1.

    The company has also ended support for Microsoft Edge WebView2 for both operating systems.

    WebView2 is a developer control for embedding web content in applications.

    Moreover, Chrome support for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 has also ended, and now users will need to upgrade to Windows 10 or Windows 11 to use the browser.

  • 5G IoT connections to surpass 100 mn globally by 2026: Report

    5G IoT connections to surpass 100 mn globally by 2026: Report

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: The global 5G IoT (Internet of Things) connections will reach 116 million by 2026, rising from just 17 million in 2023, a new report said on Tuesday.

    According to Juniper Research, the healthcare sector and smart city services will drive this 1,100 per cent growth over the next three years.

    “5G will enable more efficient and dynamic healthcare provision that was not feasible with 4G or Wi-Fi. However, healthcare providers must first implement 5G in areas which provide a strong return on investment, most notably connected emergency services,” said Research co-author Olivia Williams.

    The report forecasts that the healthcare and smart cities market will account for over 60 per cent of 5G IoT devices by 2026.

    Moreover, the report predicts that 5G networks will see significant growth in smart city services due to their low cost of deployment and ability to carry large amounts of data.

    There will be over 60 million 5G smart city connections globally by 2026, and the report urges city-planning authorities to leverage 5G connectivity as high-bandwidth gateways.

    The report also discovered that transportation network monitoring, including road and rail networks, will be critical services that will necessitate 5G-enabled high-bandwidth cellular connectivity.

  • Indians can now afford 5G smartphones at just Rs 44 a day: Samsung India

    Indians can now afford 5G smartphones at just Rs 44 a day: Samsung India

    [ad_1]

    New Delhi: Samsung India on Tuesday said it now has more than 62 million Galaxy A series smartphone customers in India and people can now enjoy a true 5G experience at just Rs 44 a day, or Rs 1,320 a month, via attractive EMI options, as the country-wide 5G roll out gains momentum in 2023.

    Aditya Babbar, Samsung India’s Senior Director of Mobile Business, told IANS that the early launch of new 5G smartphones is part of the company’s 5G-first strategy and will help the South Korean company secure 75 per cent of its smartphone business through 5G devices this year.

    “We’ve come up with multiple affordability options for our consumers, including extremely low EMIs, starting as low as Rs 44 per day for newly-launched Galaxy A14 5G,” Babbar said.

    Last year, Galaxy A series was India’s best-selling smartphone series.

    “In fact, the Galaxy A is industry’s fastest-growth smartphone series (above 10 million units). We believe the launch of Galaxy A14 5G and A23 5G will help us start the year on a strong note,” Babbar added.

    Samsung’s new Galaxy A series smartphones are made for the 5G era and come with a large 6.6-inch screen and a 5000mAh battery for seamless entertainment.

    Samsung is betting big on its recently launched 5G smartphones – Galaxy A14 5G and A23 5G – to consolidate its 5G leadership in the country.

    Galaxy A14 5G comes with Samsung’s new Galaxy signature design and is the company’s most affordable 5G smartphone in the A series portfolio in India, starting at an effective price of Rs 14,999.

    Galaxy A23 5G, which comes with a 50MP camera with OIS, starts at an effective price of Rs 20,999.

    According to Babbar, to democratise 5G technology in India, “we are not only reaching out to more customers by leveraging our distribution depth, but also providing more affordability options to customers”.

    “We have ensured that A14 5G and A23 5G are the most widely distributed 5G smartphones in the country. We are also ensuring equal EMIs for our 4G and 5G phones,” Babbar told IANS.

    Samsung said that 60 per cent of its customers use affordability platforms to buy smartphones, higher than the industry average of 40 per cent.

    Nearly 80 per cent of Samsung customers who buy smartphones on credit use Samsung Finance+ platform, which the company launched in 2019.

    Samsung led the India market in 5G smartphone shipments last year.

  • ‘Truth always comes out’: Rahul Gandhi on BBC documentary ban

    ‘Truth always comes out’: Rahul Gandhi on BBC documentary ban

    [ad_1]

    Jammu: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday slammed the Centre over the BBC documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said that banning the Press cannot “suppress” the truth from coming out.

    Gandhi’s remarks came after the Centre banned the BBC documentary on PM Modi describing it as a ‘propaganda piece’ designed to push a discredited narrative.

    “The truth always comes out. No amount of banning the Press and using institutions like ED and CBI against people can suppress the truth from coming out,” Gandhi said.

    Last week, India denounced the controversial BBC documentary series on Prime Minister Modi.

    “We think this is a propaganda piece designed to push a particular discredited narrative. The bias, lack of objectivity, and frankly continuing colonial mindset are blatantly visible,” External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said during a weekly media briefing on January 19.

    The MEA spokesperson added that the documentary is a reflection of individuals who are peddling this narrative again.
    Meanwhile, in a strong response to the BBC documentary on Saturday, more than 300 eminent Indians, including retired judges, bureaucrats, and armed forces veterans signed a statement slamming the British national broadcaster for showing “unrelenting prejudice” towards India and its leader.

    Earlier today, Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju made a scathing attack apparently on a BBC documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi which has sparked controversy since its release, and said some people have still not gotten over their “colonial intoxication” and for them “whites” are still their “rulers”.

    “For some people, the white rulers are still the masters whose decision on India is final and not the decision of the Supreme Court of India or the will of the people of India,” Rijiju tweeted in Hindi tagging his earlier tweet on the minority in the country, who he claimed were moving forward with positivity.

  • Telangana: Sharmila to resume padayatra from Jan 28

    Telangana: Sharmila to resume padayatra from Jan 28

    [ad_1]

    Hyderabad: YSR Telangana party chief Y S Sharmila on Tuesday announced the resumption of her ‘Praja Prasthanam Padyatra‘ on January 28.

    The leader came down heavily on chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao and mocked him for ‘enthralling’ in national politics while keeping Telangana citizens in distress for the past nine years.

    “It has been only the YSRTP that steadfastly and unconditionally took on KCR and his corrupt and tyrannical government. We never bowed down even when they tried hard to corner us, abusing power and authority,” said the YSR chief.

    “With honesty in our intentions and affection for Telangana, and above all, recalling the people-friendly reign of YSR, we travelled across Telangana and covered 3500km, only to be troubled and threatened by KCR, who was now scared of our growing prominence and the manner in which we exposed their local MLAs and MPs.” added Sharmila.

    Recounting the chain of events that she claimed were born out of KCR’s growing sense of insecurity, Sharmila went on to add, “We will continue to battle his inefficient rule marked by failed promise, as we did with Kaleshwaram or Palamuru or unemployment or other issues.”

    “My entry to Paleru has rocked his morale and now he realized that the YSRTP is growing in its popularity and presence in the entire district along with contiguous parts of Nalgonda,” she contented.

    YS Sharmila also ruled out early elections to the Telangana Assembly, as she claimed KCR was not ready to take on the anti-incumbency and also for the much-needed stature as a chief minister to travel across the country.

    She further lashed out at Congress’s Revanth Reddy and BJP’s Bandi Sanjay for their inefficiency in exposing KCR and his corruption.

  • Centre’s intervention in judiciary a danger: Former Karnataka SC judge

    Centre’s intervention in judiciary a danger: Former Karnataka SC judge

    [ad_1]

    Mysuru: Former Karnataka Lokayukta and Supreme Court judge, Justice N. Santhosh Hegde (retd) on Tuesday termed the Union government’s intervention in the appointment of judges and in the judicial system incorrect and “dangerous”.

    At an interaction programme with media, he underlined that the executive should not intervene with the judiciary. “This kind of intervention is a dangerous development,” he warned.

    “The politicians will not have any knowledge about the judiciary. If this is the case, it is not tenable to intervene in the appointment of judges or in the matters of judiciary,” Hegde said.

    “I didn’t know much about the society before becoming Lokayukta. Those who become rich will get all the respect. Those who come out of jail are received with grand welcome,” he said.

    Hegde further said that there is danger of the country getting divided on the lines of religion and language. However, one can’t say when it is going to happen, he added.

    “Corruption is rampant in the country. The representatives of the people are having the feeling of being owners of the people. The politicians are just talking about corruption and making allegations against each other. No one wants to correct it,” he said.

    If this situation continues, people will rebel against the system, he said, but added that he wouldn’t know when this situation will come.

    “I got many awards, recognitions. I have donated money to organisations. I have not accepted money from anyone. I own an apartment and nothing else. We have to be clean,” he said.

    Hedge also said that the delay in disposal of cases should not happen, but society is getting a different message as mediators are being approached for solutions.
