Flipkart voice search now available on its platform to let customers find products by speaking in Hindi and English

The homegrown E-commerce company, Flipkart, has announced the launch of its voice search on its mobile platform. The new Flipkart voice search will allow its user to search for products using voice command. This feature works exactly like the Amazon Alexa voice search feature on the platform. However, the voice search on Flipkart is available in Hindi, English as well as Hinglish initially. This feature will make the purchases on the portal simpler for people who are not aware of how to use the online shopping portal to make purchases. So new internet users can simply find what they are looking for by just saying those simple search words.  While announcing the Flipkart voice search the company said, “ If you’re excited about technology getting smarter and smartphone apps being designed to be more useful, we’re sure you’ve thought about the Voice Search option on the Flipkart mobile app. Tapping the search bar on the home screen, you’ll see the mic, the barcode and the camera icon. Tapping the mic icon gives you access to Voice Search. We’ve compiled some tips and tricks here to ensure you become a voice search pro in no time!” The Flipkart voice search feature is easier to use than typing. So,  it would be beneficial for the new-to-Internet consumers in India a faster and convenient way to speak and search, rather than typing in English and Hindi. Also, those who are slow in typing Voice Search makes it swift to search. While those who are not good with spellings, can also just say it, the Voice Search app will do all the work. According to the company, the Voice Search on the Flipkart app is designed keeping the way Indians speak in mind. All you need to remember is to speak slowly and clearly and you’ll see Voice Search pick it up in a jiffy. Moreover, if someone is looking for a mobile phone, make sure to use the right keywords with the brand name, the device type, the category or the feature. Eg: Say “Lenovo, smartphone, 4GB.” Also, one should not speak in long sentences just speak the product name or category, with size and colour and you’ll get better search results. In the case of colour and product size, one should be specific first and then getting more general. If you wanted to buy a sofa and prefer a blue one, you could say “Large blue cotton sofa” instead of just saying “sofa”. Flipkart says instead of saying “White living room furniture”, you could say “White recliner” and get more targeted results. Besides this, the users can also make use of tool available on Flipkart mobile app such as ‘Filter’ and ‘Sort feature to further fine tune your search results by subcategory, brands, price and popularity. To recall, last year in April Amazon also introduced Alexa-powered voice search on its Android app, which supports both Hindi and English. Now Flipkart is also in the same boat and providing the same feature on their app. For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on TwitterFacebook and Instagram. For newest tech & gadget videos subscribe to our YouTube Channel.

Nowadays, you can find affordable cable protectors in both offline and online markets. They work quite effectively by providing strength to the point of contact between the cord and the plug. Moreover, the designer ones enhance the aesthetics of the charger cord as well. 

3) Use a spring 

This is a hack that you can try at your home at almost zero cost. You can utilise a spring of the matching size from an old gadget, toy, or appliance to grip around the joint between the plug and the cord.

4) Use tape to wrap 

This is a cheap method to protect your cable from the impact of bending and rough usage. Wrapping a tape around the cord provides enough durability but takes away the aesthetics. The best way is to use trendy yet long-lasting tape to wrap your cable. 

5) Use the ‘Rodie Wrap’ method

The best way to wrap your smartphone or laptop cord is to use the ‘Roadie Wrap’. In this method, you wrap the cable around a circle rather than twisting it. Although a simple method, it assures the longevity of the cable.

Bonus tip

Traveling causes the maximum damage to your cables as it is packed with the rest of the stuff without any protection. Always keep your cords in a purse or a small box to keep them secure For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on TwitterFacebook and Instagram.

Intel killed its overclocking warranty: Here is everything you need to know of the risk

Intel announced to discontinue the warranty it used to offer to the processors performing overclocking tasks. This scheme covered the failure of Intel processors while performing overclocking tasks. On its PTPP website, the company displayed the following message to its customer, “The Performance Tuning Protection Plan program has been discontinued. As customers increasingly overclock with confidence, we are seeing lower demand for the Performance Tuning Protection Plans (PTPP). As a result, Intel will no longer offer new PTPP plans effective March 1, 2021. Intel will continue focusing on delivering amazing processors with tuning flexibility and overclocking tools like Intel Performance Maximizer and Intel XTU. All existing plans will continue to be honored through the duration of the processor warranty period. For questions, contact Intel Customer Support. Note about the intel xeon W-31 75X Processor. The intel xeon W-31 75X Processor is automatically covered for overclocking, No additional plan or activation code is required.”

Why did Intel decide to kill its overlocking warranty?

Intel had started its warranty program named Performance Tuning Protection Plan (PTPP) back in 2012. This facility posed on the user an additional cost based on the process model. As per terms of the warranty, the company had to replace the processor if it failed during an overclocking task. With time, the processors became robust enough to easily handle the overclocking tasks. As a result, the demand for the warranty scheme gradually declined.

Will the future Intel processors be covered under any warranty?

Intel says that the distribution of the Performance Tuning Protection Plan (PTPP) will come to end by March 2021. As a result, no new processors will be registered under the scheme. However, the chips already covered under the warranty will remain eligible for compensation. continue The processors already covered by the warranty will continue to do so. However, no new such agreements will be concluded. According to Intel, “Intel regularly issues updates for our processors which our partners voluntarily incorporate into their BIOS. The latest update provided to partners includes, among other things, code that aligns with the position that we do not recommend overclocking processors that have not been designed to do so. Additionally, Intel does not warranty the operation of the processor beyond its specifications.”

How will Intel’s decision impact the manufacturers and users?

The new update for motherboard manufacturing companies will extend the BCLK constraints on CPUs the model numbers of which model numbers don’t have the letter ‘K’ as the suffix. As a result, the manufacturers will have to implement the new microcode in the future EFI-BIOS updates. As far as users are concerned, Intel cannot compel them to update the motherboards. Thus, the motherboards marketed as promoting “non-K” overclocking will be discontinued soon. Many users used to enjoy the warranty scheme as it significantly reduced the overclocking cost. As of now, the company asserts that it will not sell the processors as overclockable and will formally close the loophole.

Hackers are using SEO to deliver malware: What is it and how to safeguard yourself

Hacking is a process of gaining unauthorised access to someone’s profile, a computer network, or a website. With the advancement of security mechanisms, the tactics of cyberattacks are also evolving. Nowadays, hackers are using search engine optimization (SEO) techniques to send malware to internet users. According to Sophos, an IT security company, “the so-called search engine deoptimization method includes both SEO tricks and the abuse of human psychology to push websites that have compromised Google’s rankings.”

Why are hackers using SEO for delivering malware?

SEO optimization is a technique that is used widely by website developers to widen the reach of their websites on search engines like Google or Bing. Owing to its extensive usage, the threat actors now have shifted their attention to content management systems (CMS). This allows them not only to exploit tools but also to send severe financial malware including ransomware. According to Sophos, an IT security company, “If the right conditions are met (and there have been no previous visits to the website from the visitor’s IP address), the malicious code running server-side redraws the page to give the visitor the appearance that they have stumbled into a message board or blog comments area in which people are discussing precisely the same topic”.
Why are hackers using SEO for delivering malware?

How do hackers use SEO to deliver malware?

The implementation of SEO to send malware such as Gootkit Remote Access Trojan (RAT) is not a simple process. To successfully commit such a task, at least 400 servers are connected to a network at a particular time. It is yet to be discovered if a specific exploit is utilised to harm the domains in the network. The experts say that CMSs working in the background are susceptible to be overtaken by brute-force methods, stolen credentials, and malware. According to Sophos, an IT security company, “Gootloader uses malicious search engine optimization techniques to squirm into Google search results. These techniques are effective at evading detection over a network – right up to the point where the malicious activity trips over behavioral detection rules”.

What do hackers do after gaining access via SEO?

As soon as the hackers gain access to the CMS, they inject a piece of a computer program into the body of the concerned website. They perform successive verification such as IP and location to confirm the intended target. In case the hacker’s tests aren’t confirmed, the web browser automatically displays a normal-looking web page. The malware victims who click the hyperlinks get a .zip archive file that contains a self-executing .js file. According to researchers, “At several points, it’s possible for end-users to avoid the infection, if they recognize the signs. The problem is that even trained people can easily be fooled by the chain of social engineering tricks Gootloader’s creators use. Script blockers like NoScript for Firefox could help a cautious web surfer remain safe by preventing the initial replacement of the hacked web page to happen, but not everyone uses those tools.”

What are the remedies against SEO hackers?

If we remain cautious about our activity on the internet, we can save ourselves from the attacks of SEO-based cyberattacks. Here are some tips:

1) Keep your operating system, software, and drivers up to date.

Obsolete software is the most common target of hackers as they are not immune to the ever-evolving nature of malicious computer programs. When you run a CMS like WordPress on an updated system, the antivirus automatically blocks threats and sends you notifications.

2) Always create backups

Losing your data can become a cause for economic loss and stress. Thus, keep a backup of what you post on your websites. Nowadays, there are several plugins available for you to create backups on WordPress and other CMS.

3) Monitor Activity

As an extra layer of surveillance, you should invest in a trusted monitoring service that keeps a watch on web traffic to identify suspicious activity and reports you regarding potential problems.

Microsoft Mesh mixed reality platform launched: Everything you need to know

“Need is the mother of invention.” The COVID-19 compelled us to conduct many tasks remotely. As a result, several technologies came up allowing us to study, conduct meetings, and research remotely from our homes. Mesh is one such technology, which was recently announced by Microsoft that will enable people located at different locations to meet in a shared mixed reality space. According to Alex Kipman, Microsoft technical fellow, “This has been the dream for mixed reality, the idea from the very beginning. You can actually feel like you’re in the same place with someone sharing content or you can teleport from different mixed reality devices and be present with people even when you’re not physically together.”

What is Microsoft Mesh?

Mesh is a technology that merges the knowledge center processing energy with synthetic intelligence using Azure cloud computing techniques. It is created to allow people to share holographic experiences in real-time regardless of their geographical locations. The implementation of Mesh is done in such a way that it can be synced to gears like Facebook-owned Oculus and smartphones. Apple, Google, and Facebook are other tech giants working in the field of mixed reality, too. According to Alex Kipman, Microsoft technical fellow, “You can actually feel like you’re in the same place with someone sharing content or you can teleport from different mixed reality devices and be present with people even when you’re not physically together”.

What will be the benefits of the Microsoft Mesh?

1) Meetings: Microsoft Mesh will also allow teams with members distributed all over the world to conduct more collaborative meetings and virtual design sessions. This technology will enable people to present themselves as avatars in a shared virtual environment. 2) Engineers: Microsoft Mesh will allow engineers to generate 3D models like that of cars in a virtual shared space. They will be able to sense the virtual design and working of the models just like the real machines. 3) Architects: Architects will be able to project huge structures like buildings and bridges in the space around them. They could walk through the holographic models under construction to test different portions to cure structural errors. 4) Medical students: Microsoft mesh will help medical students learn about the life processes through a virtual design of organisms. It will provide hands-on training for surgeons using a virtual model of the human body.

According to Microsoft, “The Microsoft Mesh platform will in coming months offer developers a full suite of AI-powered tools for avatars, session management, spatial rendering, synchronization across multiple users, and holoportation to build collaborative solutions in mixed reality”.

How does Microsoft look at Mesh technology?

Microsoft is working to make Mesh compatible on a variety of devices such as smartphones. tablets, HoloLens 2, and virtual reality headsets. The company is aiming to integrate Mesh into Teams and Dynamics 365 that will enhance the meeting experience. According to Microsoft, Mesh will be a significant advancement for Mixed Reality technology. According to Satya Nadella, Microsoft CEO, “Think about what Xbox Live did for gaming — we went from single player to multiplayer, creating communities that helped people connect and achieve together. Now just imagine if the same thing happened with mixed reality.”
