Yahoo Answers, a community-driven Q&A website will be shut down effective from May 4, 2021. Yahoo Answers was release in 2005 to cover discussions on a variety of topics including news, health, education, and entertainment. The portal gradually evolved to accommodate questions and answers related to politics.
In This Article
Why did Yahoo decide to shut down Yahoo Answers?
The platform was created with an intention to cover diverse topics. However, politics seemed to dominate other aspects. As a result, the platform began to be used as a tool to give fuel to far-right conspiracy hypotheses. Recent events like the US elections were also taken advantage of to spread miscommunication.
Earlier, Yahoo Answers used to consist of thought-provoking explanations on science, literature, and political science. In the later stage, it turned into an accumulation of trivial objective questions like “Will America survive 4 years of Joe Biden?” and “Was Stalin right about everything?”
Yahoo sent a note to the existing Yahoo Answers users giving the details about the shutdown of the service. The note reads as follows.
Dear Yahoo Answers Community,
We launched Yahoo Answers sixteen years ago to help people around the world connect and share information. With you and millions of other users, we built the best place on the web to ask and answer questions on a variety of topics, creating a community of global knowledge sharing. While we could not have been prouder of what we accomplished together, we are reaching out today to let you know that we have decided to shut down Yahoo Answers on May 4th, 2021.
While Yahoo Answers was once a key part of Yahoo’s products and services, it has become less popular over the years as the needs of our members have changed. To that end, we have decided to shift our resources away from Yahoo Answers to focus on products that better serve our members and deliver on Yahoo’s promise of providing premium trusted content.
Starting on April 20th you will no longer be able to post any new questions or answers. However, you can still view any posted questions and answers until May 4th. On May 4th the site will be shutting down. If you would like to download a copy of your questions and answers you have posted, you can do this by signing into Your Privacy Dashboard and requesting a download. You will be able to do this until June 30th, 2021 after which your Yahoo Answers data will be securely deleted and no longer available. The closure of Yahoo Answers will not affect your Yahoo account or other Yahoo services. For further information and instructions on how to download your data, please visit our Frequently Asked Questions or copy and paste this URL into your browser: https://help.yahoo.com/kb/SLN35642.html
Thank you for contributing to Yahoo Answers — we’re proud and honoured to have helped you connect with and learn from the Yahoo community these past sixteen years. If you’d like to provide feedback, please feel free to reach out to our team at yahoo_answers_sunset@verizonmedia.com.
Sincerely, The Yahoo Answers team
Why did Yahoo decide to shut down Yahoo Answers?
Yahoo has set a deadline of June 30, 2021, for users to get the data associate with their questions and answers. After the deadline, the entire data will be deleted permanently with no provision for the user to recover it.
How will the shutdown of yahoo Answers impact other platforms?
Yahoo Answers has been serving as a platform for several users to feed their curiosity for the past fifteen years. The shutdown of the website will induce its users to shift to other Q&A platforms like Quora and Reddit.
Websites like Yahoo Answers, Quora, and Reddit are all the same in their basic forms. All of them just provide a stage for people to carry out discussions. Shutting down a website may not appear justified to some people. Instead, bringing strict policies for posting comments and using Artificial Intelligence to filter out offensive posts can be taken as a long-term solution.

Clubhouse, an invitation-only audio-chat service, announced a new feature in the application. This feature will allow content creators to pay to each other within the Clubhouse application. The company took this decision to stand out from the rising competition with other social media services like Linked In, Twitter, and Spotify that are working on social audio media platforms.
In This Article
What is the new ‘Clubhouse Payments’ feature in the Clubhouse application?
Clubhouse is a social networking application that works on the concept of audio chats. It brings opportunities for content creators to come live and conduct interviews and discussion on various topics. It helps them find people with co-coinciding interests. According to the company, the new ‘Clubhouse Payments’ feature will enable content creators to monetise their content. Earlier, the service only provided an environment to promote their content but not monetise them.
How can the content creators benefit from the new ‘Clubhouse Payments’ feature?
The new ‘Clubhouse Payments’ feature will allow all the users to send money to the desired content creator. However, only certain users will be eligible to receive the funds. The company is optimistic with regards to the new feature. The ‘Clubhouse payments’ will allow users to express their appreciation and applause by making a desires payment to their favourite content creator.
The ‘Clubhouse payments’ will also help expand the community of the content creators. Other content services including Youtube and Twitch become highly popular as soon as they allowed their users to monetise their content. The payment feature of the Clubhouse will serve as an incentive to come up with innovative content. Moreover, it will attract emerging content creators to the platform.
How can you pay a content creator in Clubhouse?
To send a payment to other users on Clubhouse, follow these steps.
Launch the Clubhouse application
Go to the profile of the desired content creator.
Tap Send Money.
Type the amount you want to pay. You may be required to register your credit or debit card.
Clubhouse transfers the complete payment offered by you without any commission. However, you’ll have to pay a small fee for processing the transaction.
How can you pay a content creator in Clubhouse?
How will the new feature help Clubhouse against its competitors?
The chain reaction of featuring an audio-only setup has already started. This is evident because major social media and streaming platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Spotify are working on the live audio feature that was popularised by Clubhouse.
The new Payments feature will give Clubhouse an edge over other players including Facebook, Twitter, and Spotify that have just started working on the audio-only setups. This will also help the company to keep its unique identity secure while other platforms are trying to replicate it. Since Clubhouse is coming up with innovative features, it will be hard for other social media platforms to surpass its popularity and relevance.

It must be noted that the integration of the Chat tab into the Gmail application is currently in early access. As a result, you may experience some issues with the feature.

Currently, this feature is available only on the desktop versions of the Gmail desktop application and Gmail accounts. On the Gmail application, the above options are present in the bottom section.

Redmi Note 10 is one of the three smartphones launched by the company recently. So there is a pro and a Pro Max variant launched by Xiaomi in India, as well besides this one. We have already reviewed the Redmi Note 9 series and today’s review is about the regular Redmi Note 10. In this review, we have covered all the important aspects of the smartphone with respect to its design, display, performance, battery et al. So, without further delay, let’s start the Redmi Note 10 review.But before we begin, let’s go over the key highlights of the Redmi Note 10. This smartphone features a Super AMOLED display. Moreover, there is a quad rear camera set up and is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 678 SoC, along with Adreno 612 GPU. The device is quite economical in price starting at Rs 11,999 for the 4GB RAM and Rs 13,999 for the 6GB RAM model. So, let’s talk in detail about the younger and the more affordable Redmi Note 10.
In This Article
Design and Display
On the specs sheet, the device looks impressive and in terms of design, it is quite good looking too, different from its predecessors. Yes, Redmi Note 10 is an entry-level smartphone in the Redmi Note 10 series, which comes with a lot of changes in design and features in contrast with the older generation of the Note series. The phone comes with a refreshed design, the next generation of the Note series looks exquisite. It seems like the company has worked hard on its form factor. The phone is less bulky, slim and very comfortable to hold.As far as the built quality is concerned, to cut the cost this phone does not have a glass panel on the rear but we are ok with it, as it is a budget phone. The rear panel does give a premium look and seems to be sturdy. The review unit which we have is the Frost White colour. However, you can also choose from either Aqua Green or the Shadow Black colour variants. But, we have to say, the phone in Frost White colour looks absolutely beautiful and is matte as well. Hence, no fingerprint smudges on it.Talking more about the design, the rear panel features a quad rear camera set up arranged in a squarish module with rounded edges. The front camera is firmly fixed on the front display at the top centre of the screen. The sensor has a silver ring around it, which is quite reflective. The fingerprint sensor is embedded in the power button on the right side. Just above the power button, a volume rocker key is given and on the left side, a SIM tray slot is placed for two Nano-SIMs and a microSD card. The 3.5mm audio jack is given at the bottom next to the USB Type-C port. There are dual speakers on the phone one on the top and the other at the bottom and we quite liked the audio quality these can produce.The next major upgrade is in terms of its display. This smartphone comes with a 6.43-inch full-HD+ Super AMOLED display offering 1,080×2,400 pixels of resolution. It comes with a 20:9 aspect ratio along with a 100 percent DCI-P3 wide colour gamut and can also hit a peak brightness of up to 1,100 nits under direct sunlight. So, outdoor visibility will not be an issue. The screen is Widevine L1 certified too, which means you can enjoy HD content and is protected with a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3. At this price point, a full HD+ AMOLED display is just fantastic. There are companies out there that offer costlier phones than this one without it. It is good to see that Xiaomi has brought an AMOLED display at this price.As for the display quality, it’s excellent, the colours you get are on point. Brightness is great too, so our overall media viewing activity on Redmi Note 10 was incredible. In case you binge-watch a lot of videos or movies on Netflix, YouTube or generally scroll through Instagram feeds then this smartphone is perfect for you. It gives you an immersive experience because of the great display quality. 60Hz refresh rate is there as it is the standard variant, while the other two variants offer a 120Hz refresh rate display. However, this is completely ok for the price point.
Performance and Cameras
On the performance front, Redmi Note 10 has not got a major update as compared to Redmi Note 9. This phone comes with a new and improved octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 678 SoC, along with Adreno 612 GPU and up to 6GB of LPDDR4x RAM options.When it comes to benchmark numbers, well these are results. In our Geekbench 5 test, the single-core score it achieved is 537 while the multi-core score is 1,646.We have got the 6GB RAM with a 128GB storage variant of the Redmi Note 10. More on performance, the apps take a little bit long to launch, but that’s not a deal-breaker as multitasking is handled well. There was no visible lag while scrolling. Besides regular usage, gaming is quite good on this smartphone. On high graphics and max frame rates, while playing Call of Duty Mobile we experienced few stutters. But dialling down the graphics you will be able to retain smooth gameplay. So, the gaming performance is acceptable given the price of the phone.Coming to the software, the regular Redmi Note 10 comes with MIUI 12 on top of Android 11 out of the box. Like we said earlier, this phone is pretty decent for day-to-day usage. But we are waiting for the company to roll out MIUI 12.5 that is slated to be coming soon for the experience to become even better. Because when it lands on your device would be able to remove the annoying advertisement notifications, lock screen ads and unwanted pre-installed apps on it. This phone has some bloatware added to it such as Mi Remote, Mi Credit, Mi Store, Netflix, Facebook and some more. While some can be uninstalled easily, you cannot get rid of other apps such as Mi Pay, Music, and ShareMe.Moving on, there are some essential functionalities that MIUI offers on the device such as floating windows, Game Turbo mode and home screen customisation options with gesture navigation options and more.Alright, the audio performance of the phone is impressive (as said before). The stereo speakers are very loud with high-resolution audio support. The phone calls sound clear also through them.Now it’s time to talk about the cameras. This phone features a quad rear camera setup that includes a 48-megapixel primary sensor. In addition, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2-megapixel macro lens and a 2-megapixel depth sensor are also there. Upfront there is a 13-megapixel selfie camera sensor.standard camera48-megapixel primary sensorThe Redmi Note 10 shoots warm pictures, which at times look unnatural. However, the device produces more detailed and sharper images than before. For noise reduction, the camera set up compensates by over-sharpening the images, which works well.Wide Angle SampleIn the case of the Ultra wide-angle sensor, it brings down the warmer hue to a more digestible level. The end results are very detailed and less grainy too. So, we clicked mostly using this sensor.Ultra wide-angle sensorThe micro shots are relatively sharper but the phone is unable to achieve Instagramable photos.

The new multi-device support is one of the most demanded and awaited feature on WhatsApp, which is under testings for a very long time. Another demanded feature for WhatsApp is the chats migration from Android to iOS devices, which reportedly is being tested by the Messaging app. A news report has emerged stating that the company is working on the functionality that will be released in the coming future. Until now there is no official way to transfer your WhatsApp chats from Android to the iPhone. The users have to take support of third-party apps to migrate their chats history from iOS to Android and vice versa. In order to eliminate the use of third-party apps, WhatsApp is reportedly working on the development of a feature that will make the chats migration easier. As per WhatsApp, the unsupported apps such as WhatsApp Plus, GB WhatsApp, or apps that claim to move your WhatsApp chats between phones, are altered versions of WhatsApp. These unofficial apps are developed by third parties and violate ourTerms of Service. WhatsApp doesn’t support these third-party apps because we can’t validate their security practices.According to a report by WABetaInfo, the instant messaging service is developing the feature, and it will be released in a future update when it’s ready enabling the possibility to transfer chat history between iOS and Android. The leaker has also shared a screenshot that soon the feature will be released in a future update. The report says, “When the user tries to link a device having a different operating system to his WhatsApp account, it’s always needed to update to the latest WhatsApp update available on the App Store or TestFlight, in order to avoid any compatibility error with the Android version. Unfortunately, there is no date available for the release, but stay tuned to discover more new features and announcements!”In the past, WhatsApp was also seen working on bringing an option to change the playback speed for voice message. This feature is under development and will be available in a future iOS/Android update. The messaging app is working on 3 different playback speeds for voice messages with a fresh UI. The playback speed can be simply changed by tapping the speed label: 1.0X, 1.5X and 2.0X are the available options. The app is also expected to support lower playback speeds. The feature is under development and there are no further details at the time.

LG, the South Korean multinational electronics company, recently stated that it will no longer continue its smartphone business.
According to LG, the decision to exit the smartphone domain shall “enable the company to focus resources in growth areas such as electric vehicle components, connected devices, smart homes, robotics, artificial intelligence and business-to-business solutions, as well as platforms and services”.
In This Article
Was ending the smartphone business the last resort?
The possible reason for the company to end its smartphone business is that it lost its share to rivals. Recently, LG launched smartphones with attractive designs with unique form factors. The company marketed the latest technologies like dual-screen and multiple camera lens setups. The LG Wing was quite popular in the market due to its unique display that can be rotated to expose a secondary screen.
According to reports, LG had been planning to end its smartphone business since the beginning of the year 2021. A statement made by a company spokesperson rendered the idea of the potential exit as “completely false and without merit”. Finally, LG officially clarified its position by confirming its exit from the smartphone domain. According to LG, this was “a cold judgment” regarding the division. The company further stated that the future steps taken by the company would include “sale, withdrawal and downsizing of the smartphone business”.
What about the existing LG smartphones?
LG has been known for providing excellent customer services. As a result, the sudden resolution of LG to quit smartphone designing may be bad news for its customers. However, LG has taken care of the possible aftermath. As a result, it decided to continue the sale and customer support of the existing smartphones “for a period of time which will vary by region.” The company confirms that the smartphone business would finally come to an end by the end of July this year.
What about the existing LG smartphones?
What are the consequences of LG’s decision to withdraw from smartphone making?
As per the 2019 reports, LG Electronics employed around forty thousand people. Among them, around one-quarter were employed in the home appliances and air solutions (H&A) department. The global revenue of the company amounted to around 56.5 trillion South Korean won (about USD 55.76 billion).
The company’s stand to exit the smartphone business may bring turmoil in the lives of several employees. These employees belong to a range of profiles including sales, marketing, manufacturing, engineering, design, service, and business support. However, LG seems to address this issue although it has not made an official announcement regarding the layoffs.
According to LG, the “details related to employment will be determined at the local level.”

The Google-designed GS101 processor will help the Pixel synergise the performance of its individual components to achieve a higher performance and battery efficiency.

However, the implementation of the TPUs in the GS101 processor will be at a more sophisticated level as compared to the existing Pixel smartphones.
Are custom TPU new for Google?
What will be the features of the new GS101 processor?
The GS101 SoC will be the most advanced processor even installed in a Pixel smartphone. The chipset will consist of a triple cluster set up along with a TPU (Tensor Processing Unit). Moreover, the new processor will get an integrated security chip. Google extensively used Titan M in its smartphones that is an enterprise-grade security chip. The new Pixel is expected to house a similar chip.
How long have been the rumours existing regarding the GS101 processor?
Rumours regarding the GS101 “Whitechapel” SoC began to surface when Google started planning to design processors for its Chromebooks and Pixel smartphones. It was evident that the company will be implementing Machine Learning technology to optimise its chips. The Pixel would be the first device in the Whitechapel project to house a GS101 SoC.
Although Google may take a few more releases until it achieves chips customised specifically for the Pixel’s hardware and the Android operating system. The company will join Apple in the domain of customised processors. The step of Google has also induced Qualcomm to develop custom Kryo cores build on the semi-customized variants of Arm’s base Cortex architecture.

This feature will allow users to locate malls, airports and transit stations. For instance, if you’re catching a plane or train, Live View can help you find the nearest elevator and escalators, your gate, platform, baggage claim, check-in counters, ticket office, restrooms, ATMs and more. Arrows and accompanying directions will point you the right way. And if you need to pick something up from the mall, use Live View to see what floor a store is on and how to get there so you can get in and out in a snap.Right now Indoor Live View is available for Android and iOS in a number of malls in Chicago, Long Island, Los Angeles, Newark, San Francisco, San Jose, and Seattle. Later on, it will be rolled out to select airports, malls, and transit stations in Tokyo and Zurich, with more cities on the way. While the Weather and air quality information will let you see current and forecasted temperature and weather conditions in an area. Whereas the new air quality layer shows you how healthy (or unhealthy) the air is. This weather layer will be rolled out globally in the coming months and the air quality layer will launch in Australia, India, and the U.S.

As far as the built quality is concerned, to cut the cost this phone does not have a glass panel on the rear but we are ok with it, as it is a budget phone. The rear panel does give a premium look and seems to be sturdy. The review unit which we have is the Frost White colour. However, you can also choose from either Aqua Green or the Shadow Black colour variants. But, we have to say, the phone in Frost White colour looks absolutely beautiful and is matte as well. Hence, no fingerprint smudges on it.
Talking more about the design, the rear panel features a quad rear camera set up arranged in a squarish module with rounded edges. The front camera is firmly fixed on the front display at the top centre of the screen. The sensor has a silver ring around it, which is quite reflective.
The fingerprint sensor is embedded in the power button on the right side. Just above the power button, a volume rocker key is given and on the left side, a SIM tray slot is placed for two Nano-SIMs and a microSD card. The 3.5mm audio jack is given at the bottom next to the USB Type-C port. There are dual speakers on the phone one on the top and the other at the bottom and we quite liked the audio quality these can produce.
The next major upgrade is in terms of its display. This smartphone comes with a 6.43-inch full-HD+ Super AMOLED display offering 1,080×2,400 pixels of resolution. It comes with a 20:9 aspect ratio along with a 100 percent DCI-P3 wide colour gamut and can also hit a peak brightness of up to 1,100 nits under direct sunlight. So, outdoor visibility will not be an issue. The screen is Widevine L1 certified too, which means you can enjoy HD content and is protected with a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3.
At this price point, a full HD+ AMOLED display is just fantastic. There are companies out there that offer costlier phones than this one without it. It is good to see that Xiaomi has brought an AMOLED display at this price.
As for the display quality, it’s excellent, the colours you get are on point. Brightness is great too, so our overall media viewing activity on Redmi Note 10 was incredible. In case you binge-watch a lot of videos or movies on Netflix, YouTube or generally scroll through Instagram feeds then this smartphone is perfect for you. It gives you an immersive experience because of the great display quality. 60Hz refresh rate is there as it is the standard variant, while the other two variants offer a 120Hz refresh rate display. However, this is completely ok for the price point.
Coming to the software, the regular Redmi Note 10 comes with MIUI 12 on top of Android 11 out of the box. Like we said earlier, this phone is pretty decent for day-to-day usage. But we are waiting for the company to roll out MIUI 12.5 that is slated to be coming soon for the experience to become even better. Because when it lands on your device would be able to remove the annoying advertisement notifications, lock screen ads and unwanted pre-installed apps on it. This phone has some bloatware added to it such as Mi Remote, Mi Credit, Mi Store, Netflix, Facebook and some more. While some can be uninstalled easily, you cannot get rid of other apps such as Mi Pay, Music, and ShareMe.Moving on, there are some essential functionalities that MIUI offers on the device such as floating windows, Game Turbo mode and home screen customisation options with gesture navigation options and more.
Alright, the audio performance of the phone is impressive (as said before). The stereo speakers are very loud with high-resolution audio support. The phone calls sound clear also through them.
Now it’s time to talk about the cameras. This phone features a quad rear camera setup that includes a 48-megapixel primary sensor. In addition, an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle lens, a 2-megapixel macro lens and a 2-megapixel depth sensor are also there. Upfront there is a 13-megapixel selfie camera sensor.
