TCS and BSNL finalising their deal for nationwide 4G BSNL network launch

Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) are close to finalising a $2 billion (Rs 16,000 crore) deal to deploy the state-run telco’s 4G network.

According to the two businesses, disagreements over price and other business issues have been resolved, allowing the Tata group-led consortium to become India’s first domestic provider of telecom network solutions in a market dominated by multinational corporations.

The network equipment for BSNL is anticipated to be produced locally by Tejas Networks, a division of Tata Sons, the organisation that also owns TCS.
There are 111 million wireless subscribers served by the state-run telco.

A core 4G solution and radio equipment are being developed by TCS in collaboration with the government-owned Center for Development of Telematics (C-DoT), a developer of telecommunications technology.

It wasn’t until press time that BSNL, TCS, and Tejas confirmed the deal’s worth.
A successful launch of BSNL’s 4G network might catapult India into the exclusive club of nations with sophisticated telecom network technology, which includes the US, Sweden, Finland, South Korea, and China. China’s Huawei, Sweden’s Ericsson, Finland’s Nokia, and Korea’s Samsung are some of the market leaders, with Samsung also emerging as a major player.

Analysts predict that the Indian group can compete for a piece of the $500 billion global telecom equipment market if it develops a local 5G network solution.

According to DD Mishra, senior director analyst at Gartner, once the 5G solution has been proven, it would also enable TCS and Tejas Networks to market their services to both domestic private telcos and international operators.

Due to worries about national security, the government has been pushing for self-reliance in the telecommunications industry recently. Chinese companies like Huawei and ZTE have been prohibited from taking part in India’s 5G rollout as a result of the political and military standoff with China, while strict restrictions have been placed on others.

Loss-making Since 2019, BSNL has been preparing to deploy 4G services, but in 2020, it was compelled to cancel a tender because of onerous requirements for domestic enterprises. It was then instructed to solely use equipment from indigenous manufacturers.

The introduction of 4G services, according to the government, will be crucial to the ailing telco’s efforts to improve its ability to compete with private sector rivals like Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel and to restart operations.

The most recent agreement follows the carrier’s Rs 1.64 lakh bailout package, which included a spectrum award, the introduction of 4G, and cash for operational and capital expenses, among other things.

In a Rs 200 crore proof of concept, BSNL has worked with TCS, Tejas, and C-DoT to test domestic 4G technology. Testing for the 5G stack is currently ongoing; it should be finished by the end of this year.

This will allow you to have feedback and recapitulate rapidly. This rapid prototyping makes Python a great language for startups that can hit the industry and have a competitive edge.  

Having known about the benefits of Python in web development, let us now discuss the frameworks in Python. 

Web Frameworks in Python 

A web framework is a collection of modules that includes pre-written codes and standardized codes to help in developing web apps rapidly and easily. The applications developed in Python are a lot more scalable and reliable.  

Web frameworks in Python are only used in backend development like aiding URL routing, requests related to HTTP, accessing databases, etc. Web frameworks are recommended by everyone as it helps one in developing complex web applications in significantly less time.  

Below are two of the popular frameworks in Python.  

  1. Django 

It is a Python web framework that helps in the rapid development of web applications. It is an open-source framework that is rapid, reliable, and scalable. Django offers detailed documentation and vast support from the community. It is incredibly fast and is often used by large-scale companies like Instagram, Dropbox, Pinterest, etc.  

  1. Flask  

Flask is considered a micro-groundwork that is sober and lightweight. Flask only provides the components that one needs to create an application in order to have adaptability and control. Flask is prevalent and a powerful framework used by companies like LinkedIn, Uber, Netflix, etc.  

These are the top web frameworks used in Python web development. These web frameworks help in creating complex applications rapidly and easily.  

Popular Python Libraries in Web Development  

There are a lot of Python libraries that are used for effective web development. Every developer must keep a note of it. Here are the Python libraries:

It is a popular Python library used for sending HTTP requests quickly. This library is also used to liaise with an app, thereby helping a developer get access to HTML data and pages.  

  1. Dash  

Another integral library is Dash. It is used for developing web apps in order to undertake the process of data visualization. Dash is placed on top of Flask and offers features such as pie charts, graphs, bar graphs, dashboards, etc.  

Being one of the most popular languages, Python has a lot more to offer than we know. According to developers, Python is the easiest and most widely used programming language. Be it a beginner or a professional – this language is rapid at delivering quality-driven results.  

Now that you have an idea about the web frameworks and libraries that Python offers, let us give you a roadmap for developing applications in Python.  

Web Development in Python Roadmap 

What are the concepts that you must learn in order to learn web development? To make it simpler, here is a roadmap for developing web applications in Python. Have a look!  

  1. HTML + CSS 

While beginning with developing web pages, it is important to learn HTML and CSS. These are the two fundamental languages that every developer needs to learn in order to create web pages. It is best to learn how structural responsive pages can help in your app development journey. It will be helpful to acquire knowledge regarding the concepts like HTTP, Browser, DNS, hosting, internet, etc. It is also essential to know CSS frameworks like Bootstrap and Materialize that help in speeding up the process of development.  

  1. JavaScript 

Another step is to gain an understanding of JavaScript. It is essential to learn fundamental concepts like controlling statements, variables, string manipulations, arithmetic operators, loops, and much more. After knowing and understanding the fundamentals of JavaScript, it will be easier for the developer to apply JavaScript to different codes associated with the client-servers.  

  1. DOM & jQuery  

After having a thorough understanding of JAVA fundamentals and concepts, another thing to learn is the way to manipulate jQuery and DOM to make the creation of web applications easier. By manipulating DOM and jQuery, you will learn to create creative pages and websites.  

  1. Frontend 

It is not necessary to learn frontend frameworks like React to create a web application. But it is recommended to do so! It helps in creating beautiful SPAs as well. Often when developers intend to have expertise in the front-end, learning frameworks like React is an additional requirement for recruiters. 

  1. Python 

One must know all about Python. Just like JavaScript, one must also know about the manipulation of DOM and jQuery. Understanding the basics will prepare you for working with Django and Flask. Python is an easy-to-learn language and isn’t too tricky. The concepts of JAVA and Python are quite the same so there will be no difficulty in learning Python.          

  1. Django + Database 

With the help of Django, you will be able to create the right backend environment. Developers need to learn about the databases like SQLite, how to make HTTPS requests/ queries, etc. With the combination of Django and database, one can effectively make a complete web application.  

The roadmap is not enough for developers who wish to know more about Python in web development. So, next, we will be discussing how one can create a Python web application. So, let us begin!  

How to Create Web Application in Python? 

In this section, we will be creating a Flask called the ‘Hi Everyone’ app. So, here is a step-by-step process for the same! 

  1. Install Flask 

The first and foremost thing is to install Flask. pip or pip3 is used depending upon the version of Python that one is using. Here is the code: 

Pip install flask  

  1. Flask Application  

The next step is to create a flask file called ‘hi.py.’ Use the given below code:  

from flask import Flask 

construct =Flask (_name_) 

@construct.route (“/”) 

              def hi (); 

                   return ‘Hi Everyone!’ 

If__name__ == “_main_”; 

       construct.run()   

This code will run the application and the variable will be initialized. By using these two steps, you will be able to create a flask in Python.  

Python is one of the best languages that is easy and delivers rapid results. When it comes to building dynamic and complex applications, nothing beats Python. In this article, we covered all that you need to know about Python in web development.  

If you are an aspiring developer and are starting your journey, then we would recommend you to check out the top web development course syllabus. The syllabus covers everything regarding Python.

Design, Look & Thermals

This is a very simple GPU with dual fans, nothing too fancy and as it needs less power, it also generates less heat. So, even with this simple thermal design, this RX 6700 GPU should easily do the job and is great for budget gamers who are not willing to overspend or looks don’t matter much.

This GPU is basically for those gamers who need to upscale from 1080p to 1440p and want great frame rates without having to worry about the budget. For a basic PC build, this Sapphire custom variant should be enough, and design-wise it’s just ok with big fans spinning for maximum airflow along with heat pipes surrounding the GPU.

Productivity

When you compare this RX 6700 with the RX 6600 XT which has very close pricing to this one, the key reasons why the former is better include a bigger 10GB GDDR6 memory, 160-bit memory bus, and most importantly, 16 PCIe lanes compared to 8 on the RX 6600 XT. So, at similar pricing, this GPU provides better performance while still being very efficient and has some key improvements that will help in the long term.

  • Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 6700 GPU review: A sensible choice for 1440p gaming
  • Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 6700 GPU review: A sensible choice for 1440p gaming

As you see in some of the popular synthetic benchmarks, the GPU sits right between the RX 6600 XT and RX 6700 XT from AMD. Also, it does give heavy competition to the RTX 3060 Ti which could be a point of reference in terms of GPU performance. In terms of content creation, the 10GB VRAM does help this RX 6700 to pose some serious scores that make it a good option for budget creators to choose this GPU.

It’s very cost-effective and simple in terms of performance, making it ideal for a lot of people who are looking for a productivity-oriented graphics card without willing to overspend. Also, as we all know if you see rasterization performance, the RX 6700 is even better than the RTX 3060 Ti, so, creators should go for this.

Gaming

Now, in terms of gaming AMD is selectively targeting 1440p gamers and so we skip 1080p game tests because we knew it would easily handle it. Many will not even know, but when paired with a good CPU this RX 6700 is a great option for high-end 1440p gaming.

As you see in some of the most popular games we got 60+ FPS at the highest settings without any hiccups:

Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 6700 GPU review: A sensible choice for 1440p gaming

Now, in those games where FSR 2.0 is supported, you get added frame rates with very nominal changes in graphics quality. Obviously, seeing this it might look like a hidden gem and it is a very compelling gaming GPU at a budget that is frequently discounted.

However, the ray tracing performance is not comparable to an RTX 3060 Ti but the NVIDIA GPU retails at a higher price most of the time which you also have to keep in mind. Overall for good 1440p gaming, this basic Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 6700 GPU is a nice performer and can be recommended.

Verdict

As you see in both the Productivity and Gaming aspects, this RX 6700, has reached its end-of-life span as RDNA3 is incoming but as the trend goes budget GPUs won’t get new options for a good amount of time. So, if you have an Rs.35k budget, the heavy discounts on this Sapphire AMD Radeon RX 6700 graphics card make this a tempting choice for most who are again blessed with many AMD exclusive features like FSR, FreeSync, Smartshift, and a lot more.

Overall, this GPU is a good value-for-money card that is recommendable but obviously, it’s not a fancy or the most effective option for people because of this simple design. But who needs to get the jobs done without any hiccups and without having to spend much the RX 6700 is a pocket-friendly GPU, easily recommendable.

Logitech G Cloud: Here are all the Games the new Handheld offers

0

Recently, Logitech unveiled the G Cloud, a fully independent handheld designed solely to play cloud-based games. When it comes to cloud gaming, the entire idea is that you don’t need specific hardware to play. Thus, playing on your phone was just as simple to do as downloading cloud games on your PC or Mac.

With the introduction of the Logitech G Cloud, that is no longer an issue. The gaming handheld is designed primarily to play games via the cloud. Its Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G processor, which runs Android 11 at its core and includes 4GB of RAM and 64GB of additional storage via microSD, is a given.

In addition, Logitech has given the gadget a gaming skin that allows it to run in a mode that displays all of the services you can use as well as locally downloaded games.

Logitech switches into gaming mode after you turn the device on and go through the setup process. GeForce Now and Xbox Cloud Gaming are the two primary gaming services that are already set up there. Both services are excellent and play to each one’s advantages.

The games you play on Steam or the Epic Games Store with GeForce Now must be yours. With that, you may access those games and play them utilising NVIDIA’s hardware and servers. The finest sessions might range from several hours to infinite playtime and an RTX 3080 experience, depending on the subscription package you choose.

You may choose GeForce Now, sign in, and start playing from the Logitech G Cloud home screen. A PWA (Progressive Web App) created by Logitech in collaboration with NVIDIA and the GeForce Now team was designed for the G Cloud. As a result, the GeForce Now experience functions flawlessly and every piece of hardware on the G Cloud functions normally with the service.

A beta PWA for the G Cloud was created by Logitech in collaboration with Xbox Cloud Gaming as an additional alternative on the platform. With Xbox Cloud Gaming, you may purchase an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription that gives you access to the whole service’s library of games without the need to purchase any of them separately.

Quantity is Xbox’s strong suit. You can play a tonne of games on the cloud with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. However, the service is not always very effective. Of course, Xbox Cloud Gaming on Logitech’s G Cloud is still in testing. You can experience lower streaming quality and a little bit longer input lag as a result when playing your games. Still, Xbox Game Pass is a great choice for the G Cloud and fits it perfectly.

Stadia was not included on the list of supported services when the Logitech G Cloud was first announced.

It was just recently revealed that Stadia would close its doors in the first quarter of 2023. Since it launched in 2019, the service has amassed a sizable catalogue. Until January 18, 2023, you can still access your Stadia games.

Another well-known name in the cloud gaming industry is Amazon Luna. You may play almost anywhere, including on the G Cloud, similar to GeForce Now or Xbox Cloud Gaming.

You must use Chrome on the G Cloud because it is not included. Go to amazon.luna.com after arriving and log in there. You can play games from the browser if you have a membership or are an Amazon Prime member. To put the Chrome instance in desktop mode, select the three dots menu. You’ll be allowed to play after that.

PSG owners QSI could purchase Barcelona’s rivals Espanyol to create more competition with the club, and potentially ‘harm’ the Blaugrana. The report comes from Foot en Espagne via Sport, and could see the Qatari club follow the same model as Newcastle United, following their Saudi Arabia takeover recently. 

The case in point presents more than a business opportunity for the owners of the French club. Their relationship with Barcelona is not the best and could be potentially worsened in case the takeover actually goes through. 

PSG and Barcelona relationship could worden if Espanyol takeover goes through 

Recently, PSG president Nasser Al Khelaifi publicly took digs at Barcelona. He questioned whether their financial levers strategy was even legal, which helped them register new signings like Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Jules Kounde, Franck Kessie, Andreas Christensen, Marcos Alonso and Hector Bellerin. 

Espanyol is currently under the ownership of Chinese toy company Rastar Group, and has been since 2016. However, they have not been able to progress much, and are currently fighting a relegation battle despite being in the top flight. 

QSI have been rumoured to take over Espanyol for a while now. But, recent developments make it more likely to go through and to battle Barcelona domestically. Talks over the deal could start very soon, with Nasser Al Khelaifi taking charge of the negotiations. 

Google officially shuts down Stadia

Google has announced the termination of its Google Stadia game streaming service and the refunding of all software and game purchases. When Google Stadia was first introduced in 2019, it was marketed as Netflix for video games. Unfortunately, that assurance has not yet been fulfilled.

On paper, the idea of game streaming over the Internet is a fantastic one, and Google Stadia attracted a lot of interest when it first launched. However, the service was never able to sustain any kind of momentum. People have mostly stayed with physical and digital media since streaming games has the potential to be a hassle due to the patchy nature of many Internet connections throughout the world. 

Competition from services like Amazon Luna, PlayStation Now, and Xbox Game Pass was also fierce for Google Stadia. Even Netflix now offers mobile gaming streaming on its platform. 

The Google Stadia service is about to expire. According to a blog post on the official Google website, Google Stadia will be discontinued on January 18, 2023. By mid-January 2023, all hardware and digital game purchases will also be returned, though no specific date has been announced and information is still scant. Players will still have time to complete the titles they did buy on the service because Google Stadia will be available until its official ending date.

For Google Stadia, the writing has been on the wall for some time. Features that were promised during the initial game advertising were not available when Google Stadia launched. The pandemic served as the true test of Google Stadia’s viability because lockdowns caused a large number of people to stay at home and seek entertainment at a time when the prices of PC and second-hand consoles were sky-high. This was Google’s opportunity to aggressively promote Stadia, but the opportunity was lost.

Fans have been wondering for a while what Google’s plan was with Google Stadia, and it appears that the answer was that there wasn’t one. Despite the fact that users of Google Stadia Pro are probably not going to receive any compensation for their subscription, the idea that fans can recover part of the money they spent on the programme is a plus. Google Stadia had the potential to be something remarkable, but the technology wasn’t there yet, and the corporation never seemed truly committed to the service, despite its enormous potential in a world of pricey hardware.
