Like Gemini, ChatGPT can also analyse any PDF or document of your choice.

Enron’s Nuclear Egg: A Fake Home Nuclear Reactor

Parody firm Enron has introduced the fictitious micro-nuclear reactor known as the “Enron Egg,” which it claims can produce electricity on its own. The device is marketed as a small nuclear reactor that can power your house for ten years by using uranium-zirconium hydride fuel rods to produce heat and electricity. Enron claims to have developed the first home-use micro-nuclear reactor in history, the fictitious “Enron Egg.” On January 7, 2025, the company’s new owners made the statement as part of an absurd strategy to once again enter the public spotlight. Enron posted a funny promotional video on its website introducing the first at-home compact nuclear reactor in history. According to CEO Coonor Gaydos, homes might be powered by the Enron Egg for a maximum of ten years. Enron’s website reads, ” Nuclear You Can Trust.” Also Read: BenQ GW2790Q monitor with 27-inch QHD 2K IPS display launched in India According to the company, the embedded chip enables real-time monitoring and operational safety by enabling Enron’s nuclear management unit to monitor the uranium zirconium hydride reactor continuously. This innovative design offers remarkable safety, fuel efficiency, and sustainable power by combining boron control drums with sophisticated neutron moderation. As the business states, the Enron Egg’s heat-resistant shell protects the reactor’s core and maintains maximum thermal efficiency while guaranteeing longevity and safety in extremely hot or cold environments. The heavy water pump is silent, effective, and long-lasting because it maintains optimal reactor performance and accurate temperature control. As the advertising campaign spreads, the term ‘Enron Egg’ is trending on Google. Also Read: CES 2025: Krafton partners with NVIDIA ACE to unveil Co-Playable Character (CPC) Since Enron’s website is a First Amendment-protected parody, performance art, and solely for entertainment, it is regarded as a parody company. The announcement of Enron’s new “Enron Egg” is not something to be taken seriously because the firm has been parodying itself since its 2024 relaunch. In 2020, Gaydos, a co-founder of the ‘Birds Aren’t Real’ organisation, paid $275 to own the Enron brand.

How to record RAW videos on your Android phone?

0
While iPhone Pro users have the option to record ProRes footage using their smartphones, Android users do not have any comparable options. However, there’s one app that can unlock the true potential of your phone’s camera system by letting you record 10-bit CinemaDNG RAW footage from your device. The app is called MotionCam Pro and it fetches Rs 2,600 on the Google Play Store. If you want a taste of what it does, you can install its free Demo version on your phone. Let’s take a look at how you can record RAW videos on your Android phone using MotionCam Pro. Read Also: Top 10 apps for OnePlus 13

What are RAW videos? When should you shoot them?

The videos you shoot using your smartphone’s cameras are highly optimised and processed. Android OEMs choose to do this for several reasons. To begin with, taking care of the processing phase makes smartphones incredible point-and-shoot devices. The videos flaunt a good colour profile and pack a lot of detail. Users don’t have to spend time editing the footage to get the desired result. Every Android OEM has its own signature when it comes to processing videos. If you shoot a scene with 3 different smartphones, you will get 3 distinct results. In the processing phase, your smartphone makes the tradeoff between video quality and file size. The final videos lose some of the details but they have a manageable file size. Meanwhile, a RAW video bypasses the processing stage entirely. When you shoot RAW footage, your device solely relies on the camera sensor to record the scene and does not colour-correct or compress the video. As a result, you get access to truly neutral footage with every last detail. This also comes with complete editorial control over the video. You can apply the colour palette of your choice and control aspects like exposure, white balance, and more.

Record RAW videos on your Android phone using MotionCam Pro

Step 1: Download the MotionCam Pro app on your phone. The app is currently priced at Rs 2,600 on the Play Store, but there is a free Demo version on offer too. However, the recording limit on the Demo version is set at 5 seconds. Step 2: Launch the app and tap on Photo on the left side of the screen.

Xiaomi Sound Outdoor Speaker Review: Brings life to the party!

Last month, Xiaomi launched its new outdoor Bluetooth speaker alongside the Redmi Note 14 Series and Redmi Buds 6 TWS. The Xiaomi Sound Outdoor speaker is priced aggressively at Rs 3,999. It rocks a 20W woofer and a 10W driver to deliver a 30W audio output. To further enrich the sonic output, the Sound Outdoor has a passive woofer radiator on either side. Adding to the outdoor appeal of the speaker is its IP67 rating for dust and water resistance. Interested to see how the speaker performed in different settings, we used it as our primary audio companion for a week. Here is our comprehensive review of the Xiaomi Sound Outdoor speaker. Read Also: Redmi 14C 5G with 120Hz display launched in India

Xiaomi Sound Outdoor Speaker Review: Design

Here’s what you get inside Xiaomi Sound Outdoor’s retail box:
  • Speaker
  • USB Type-A to Type-C cable
  • User manual
Xiaomi’s outdoor Bluetooth speaker is available in 3 colour options – Black, Red, and Blue. The Black variant has a contrasting orange lanyard while the other two variants stick with the body colour for the looping rubber strip. This lanyard also houses the power, Bluetooth, and multi-speaker pairing buttons. The media control buttons are positioned on top of the speaker. At the bottom lie the two rubber feet to keep the speaker firmly in place. Xiaomi Sound Outdoor Speaker Review: Design Our favourite thing about Xiaomi Sound Outdoor’s design is its tubular form factor with defined edges. These edges ensure that the speaker doesn’t roll off the surface. The device is covered with a mesh fabric which wards off the dust quite easily. The rubber media control buttons are shaped like the +, -, and play signs. This makes them easier to find without looking at the device. There are no LED lights or indicators on the speaker. We would have preferred a compact light bar to indicate the battery level, but its absence isn’t a deal breaker. Xiaomi Sound Outdoor Speaker Review: Design Xiaomi Sound Outdoor’s IP67 rating makes it a great device for outdoor pool parties and beach visits. The speaker remains unaffected by water splashes and gentle drizzles. Having said that, we wouldn’t recommend subjecting it to harsh conditions on a regular basis as water protection on electronic devices in general can hit a point of diminishing return fairly quickly.

Xiaomi Sound Outdoor Speaker Review: Performance

Producing the audio output on the Xiaomi Sound Outdoor are 20W + 10W dual drivers. These front-facing drivers are accompanied by a passive woofer radiator on either side. The speaker supports Bluetooth 5.4 which makes the pairing process quick and easy. Since there is no 3.5 jack on the device, your connectivity options are limited to Bluetooth. performance Now, let’s talk about the most important aspect of the Sound Outdoor speaker – it’s soundstage. For a Bluetooth speaker priced at Rs 3,999, the Xiaomi Sound Outdoor produces a phenomenal audio output. Looking at the spec sheet, you may be wondering whether the 20W woofer driver and the passive subwoofers are overkill. After using the speaker for a week, we can happily report that the strong low-end does not meddle with the lucid mid and high-range frequencies. While the soundstage is far from neutral, it is quite lush and packed with details. The added ‘punch’ from the side woofers makes the listening experience all the more enjoyable. We played Khruangin’s A La Sala on the Sound Outdoor and were pleased with the way it relayed the mix. The clean guitar tone and sharp clapper hits were delivered expertly with a warm blanket of surrounding bass. Playing Adrianne Lenker’s Bright Future, we were impressed with how the speaker managed the relatively quieter mix and gave more prominence to the vocals and acoustic guitar.  performance In outdoor conditions, you can push the volume level to 100% without worrying about any distortion creeping into the soundstage. However, since the audio drivers on this speaker are front-facing only, people sitting behind it are unable to get the full sonic experience. This is where the Sound Outdoor’s linking chops come into play. With just one press of a button, this device can connect with other speakers and relay the audio output without any latency. The Sound Outdoor is capable of connecting with 99 additional speakers. If your phone is out of reach, you can use Xiaomi Sound Outdoor to take calls by just pressing the play button. The sole microphone on the speaker does a good job of relaying the speaker’s voice in indoor conditions. However, in noisy outdoor conditions, the call quality takes a hit. Xiaomi claims that the 2,600mAh battery pack on this speaker can power it up to 12 hours on a single charge. This claim is true if you don’t push the speaker beyond the 50% volume level. During the review period, we used the Xiaomi Sound Outdoor speaker between 70-80% volume level and got 8-10 hours of playtime out of it. It takes up to 2.5 hours to fully charge the speaker.

Verdict

Xiaomi Outdoor Sound checks all the essential boxes while also being easy on the wallet. The vibrant and detailed soundstage punches above its weight and outperforms almost every speaker in this category. The two woofer radiators along the sides add the thump to the mix and make the listening experience all the more enjoyable. On top of that, Xiaomi Sound Outdoor’s IP67 rating and 12-hour battery life further embolden its case for being one of the best speakers for outdoor use.

Xiaomi Outdoor Sound: Pros

  • Good design
  • Lush soundstage
  • Long battery life
  • Affordable

Xiaomi Outdoor Sound: Cons

  • Lacks an LED indicator for battery status

Popular Indian influencer Ankush Bahuguna became a victim of a digital scam: Know How

Cyber threats have evolved along with the modern, highly connected digital space. Ankush Bahuguna, a well-known YouTuber and influencer, was recently scammed by a digital arrest scam. On Instagram, he posted a lengthy video that described his experience falling for a tech-based scam. Scammers are using technology to trick people, which has increased cyber crime in the digital age. An instance of this occurred involving YouTuber Ankush Bahuguna. Ankush Bahuguna, a YouTuber, posted a video on Instagram about being kept hostage during a cyber arrest in which his bank account information was stolen. He expressed horror and shock at the incident, and he was placed in isolation for forty hours as a result of the scam. The risks of cybercrime are emphasised throughout the video. He describes how scammers kept them hostage, caused them to lose money, and negatively impacted his mental health in an 8-minute video. He said, “Sharing this so others don’t have to go through what I went through. I feel so lucky to have friends with such strong instincts who noticed a change in my behaviour even when they were getting “I’m okay” texts from me. They literally saved the day. Imagine if they hadn’t come looking for me or looked for clues! I’d probably still be in that cyber arrest & would’ve lost all my money. Pls beware of this scam. I know a lot of you are aware of it but I don’t think a lot of people understand the extent to which these scammers can go to control you!” Also Read: OnePlus 13 Series confirmed to offer magnetic wireless charging cases: Details

What actually happened?

After getting back from the gym, he received an international call from an odd number that had +1 prefixed, and he answered it. Ankush stated that the call was regarding a cancelled courier delivery; however, the influencer did not send any courier, and the caller framed him into a false story. He was informed that his courier package had been confiscated by customs because it contained an unlawful substance. Notably, his horror started when he was told to press a zero for support during the fictitious phone call, which put him under Digital Arrest, also known as Cyber Arrest. The biggest mistake he made was pressing zero because he didn’t send any courier overseas. The call was then instantly switched to a WhatsApp video call where police officers told him he was under self-custody and that he was involved in several serious cases, including money laundering, drug trafficking, and other serious crimes. Keep in mind that scams frequently start with a simple phone call posing as a bank, courier agency, telecom department, or mobile service provider. The call, which can be recorded or direct, is linked to a person posing as a support person and starts the trauma. Bahuguna was told to follow his instructions if he didn’t want to get into trouble by the individual posing as a police officer. Ankush was compelled to give them all of his information, including his Aadhar number and personal information, after he followed the instructions and turned off all of his phones and other gadgets present at his home. In order to fool victims into thinking their accounts have been used for illicit purposes, fraudsters frequently gather personal information such as bank account details, Aadhaar, and PAN. They then use video conferencing, phone calls, or WhatsApp to issue arrest warrants while posing as law enforcement officials like the Police, Customs, ED, and CBI. After that, victims are connected to fake law enforcement officers.

They threatened him and sent him to a bank for questionable transactions, which fortunately didn’t happen because the branch was closed. He was subsequently forced to leave his home because he was being contacted by his friends, managers, and family, who even showed up at his door to see how he was doing because he was not answering calls and was only texting them to say he was okay. You may be wondering why he didn’t tell his loved ones because he was always prompted to share the screen capture whenever he got a call or message. Bahuguna didn’t realise he had been conned until a friend texted him when he was in a hotel room, raising suspicions of fraud. In order to prevent fraudsters from stealing money from their victims, digital arrest entails limiting access to digital accounts and platforms, prohibiting digital actions, monitoring via video calls, and reporting attendance. The most recent strategy used by cybercriminals to mislead victims is the “Digital Arrest” scam, which takes advantage of their fear. By taking advantage of law enforcement officials’ anxiety, this strategy defrauds victims of their legal issues by letting them fall victim to scam artists who aren’t aware of warning signs. First of all, you cannot be detained digitally, and digital arrest is a hoax. Scammers who pose as law enforcement or legal officials and claim to have a warrant for your arrest or investigation for online crimes or cyber offences are known as “digital arrest scams.” They frequently threaten to arrest you if you don’t agree with their demands for instant payment or personal information.

What to do and how to be safe?

To safeguard yourself against Digital Arrest scams, stop and gather yourself, and think things through. In order to verify the contact, call the purported agency directly rather than using the number that was provided. Inform local law enforcement or consumer protection agencies about the occurrence in order to keep tabs on scams and alert others. Protect your data by changing passwords and notifying your bank of any shared financial information. To guard against malware and phishing efforts, use the most recent security software. To increase security, make sure your accounts are set up for two-factor authentication (2FA). Lastly, keep yourself updated on usual scam tactics, and help safeguard your loved ones by sharing this information with them.
