Japan officially starts putting an end to using Floppy Discs

0

According to BBC News, Japan has declared war on antiquated technological solutions like floppy discs and CDs after a government committee discovered that almost 2,000 applications and other forms were still being submitted using them. Japan’s digital minister Taro Kano criticised their continued use despite the availability of significantly more practical solutions in recent years.

According to a tweet sent this week by Kano, Japan’s Digital Agency will soon amend its rules to allow the use of contemporary online services.

According to IBM, the floppy disc was created in 1971 and rose to prominence as the primary method for storing, exchanging, and running programmes in the 1980s. In the 2000s, storage discs were gradually replaced by CDs, DVDs, and eventually USB sticks.

According to the BBC, despite developing innovations like the compact disc, Japan hasn’t fully embraced antiquated office solutions from the past due to a lack of digital literacy, conservative outlooks, and bureaucratic culture.

Floppy discs were phased out by the government last year, ten years after Sony stopped manufacturing them. The city of Tokyo started using online storage options last year.

Not only Japan, but other nations have recently demanded an end to the usage of antiquated technology in their workplaces. After it was discovered that the federal government was utilising more than 900 fax machines, Germany announced plans to discontinue using them last year, according to Politico.

The epidemic revealed how many areas of Germany’s healthcare system still handle and communicate data via faxes, printed spreadsheets, and handwritten lists, according to DW.

NRAI issues caution to Restaurants over Zomato Pay and Swiggy Diner

0

The National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI) issued a warning to the restaurant industry on Friday, branding the new Zomato Pay and Swiggy Diner programmes “bizaare” and urging them to exercise caution before signing up.

Customers are lured into paying their bills using Zomato Pay or Swiggy Diner, according to a warning from the NRAI, “because of the deep discounts and generous cash backs that comes with it; it is a deal too good to refuse at no cost”.

Restaurants must now, however, provide discounts of between 15% and 40% to every consumer who decides to pay their bills through these payment portals.

Other payment gateways charge between 1% and 1.5% on similar transactions as a point of comparison. Both Zomato and Swiggy had not yet responded to the NRAI advisory. Zomato and Swiggy will establish a strong presence in the dine-in market after squeezing every last penny of profit from the delivery sector, according to the NRAI.

Zomato also offers “Zomato Vibes” with “Zomato Pay,” which is essentially a tool for social interaction.

The Zomato Gold programme, which is solely available for dine-in clients, was introduced in November 2017 with “the lofty promise” of connecting affluent diners with a hand-picked selection of upscale eateries.

On August 15, 2019, dozens of eateries around the nation decided they had had enough of this no-win situation, sparking the #Logout movement. Zomato Gold eventually perished as a result of this.

Barcelona rejected €30 million bid for Ferran Torres late in the transfer window

0

With the transfer market closed, news of failed bids are now coming to the forefront. Ferran Torres could have been one of the names leaving Barcelona this summer due to a bid from Arsenal. 

The Blaugranas recruited Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha to bolster their forward line, and still have Torres to provide depth. They also have Ousmane Dembele, Ansu Fati and Memphis Depay among their ranks as rotational options if needed. 

Ferran Torres could have joined Arsenal this summer

The Gunners have had a great transfer window this summer, signing Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko, Fabio Vieira and Marquinhos. Ferran Torres was also on their list by the looks of things, as they made a late €30 million bid to sign the Spain international. 

While Barcelona did not outright reject the offer, Xavi was not prepared to lose the player this window. And as a result, a return to the Premier League did not happen for him even though it was close. He has worked before with Mikel Arteta at Manchester City, and would be a great addition to the lineup. 

But for now, he will be fighting for a place in the Barcelona starting line-up at least until January when the transfer window opens up again. Arsenal also tried to sign Douglas Luiz from Aston Villa on deadline day, but their offer failed to convince the Midlands club to sell. 

Top spenders in the transfer window: 7 Premier League teams among the top 10

0

The top spenders in the transfer window are mostly from the Premier League this season. The English clubs spent over €2.2 billion on signing players, exercising their financial strength in terms of acquisitions. 

In this article, we’ll be taking a look at the top ten spenders across Europe in the transfer window. 

Top spenders in the transfer window this summer 

10. Wolves – $150.3 million 

The Midlands club have signed Matheus Nunes as their new record signing, while Goncalo Guedes, Nathan Collins and Hwang Hee Chan have also completed permanent moves to the club. Sasa Kalajdzic signed from Stuttgart but suffered an ACL injury 45 minutes into his debut

9. Bayern Munich – $151.2 million 

The Bavarians let go of Robert Lewandowski but signed Sadio Mane, Niklas Sule, Ryan Gravenberch and Noussair Mazraoui. As a result, bolstering their squad for the coming season. 

8. Manchester City – $153.4 million 

City signed Erling Haaland as their top signing for the summer. They also recruited Julian Alvarez, Kalvin Phillips, Manuel Akanji, Sergio Gomez and Stefan Ortega to make up the numbers in their star-studded squad. 

7. Paris Saint-Germain – $162.2 million 

Most of PSG’s signings have been in midfield, with Renato Sanches, Fabian Ruiz, Carlos Soler and Vitinha joining the club alongside Hugo Ekitike to provide balance to the team.

6. Barcelona – $168.3 million 

Barcelona are the top spenders in the transfer window from Spain, and have signed Robert Lewandowski, Jules Kounde, Raphinha, Marcos Alonso, Andreas Christensen, Franck Kessie and Marcos Alonso despite facing a lot of issues with their finances. 

5. Nottingham Forest – $178.1 million 

The presence of Nottingham Forest in the list of the top spenders in the transfer window is surprising, considering they came up from the Championship. But, they have added 21 new players to their squad, which is a record for a British team. 

4. Tottenham Hotspur – $186.9 million 

Spurs have recruited smartly this summer, adding more depth to their line-up. Richarlison, Yves Bissouma, Djed Spence, Fraser Forster, Ivan Perisic, Clement Lenglet and Destiny Udogie have all been signed for the season. 

3. West Ham United – $200.2 million 

West Ham United have made big moves in the transfer window, signing Lucas Paqueta for a record fee. They have also added Gianluca Scamacca, Nayef Aguerd, Maxwel Cornet, Emerson, Thilo Kehrer, Alphonse Areola and Flynn Downes to challenge for Europe. 

2. Manchester United – $261.8 million 

After a disappointing start to the season, Manchester United started to emerge as one of the top spenders in the transfer window. They have signed the most expensive player of 2022 in Antony from Ajax. Casemiro, Tyrell Malacia, Lisandro Martinez, Martin Dubravka and Christian Eriksen are also among the players to have made the move to Old Trafford this summer. 

1. Chelsea – $310.2 million 

Under their new ownership, Chelsea have broken the record for the most money spent in a transfer window. And as a result, they are the top spenders in the transfer window in 2022. 

The Blues signed two defenders on record deals – Marc Cucurella and Wesley Fofana. They also signed Raheem Sterling, Kalidou Koulibaly, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Denis Zakaria for the first team. On the other hand, Carney Chukuemeka, Omari Hutchinson, Cesare Casadei and Gabriel Slolina have also joined as part of their future project. 

MS Dhoni will continue to lead Chennai Super Kings in IPL 2023

MS Dhoni, a former captain of India, will remain in charge of the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) in 2023, according to franchise CEO Kasi Vishwanathan.

Captain for IPL 2023

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who has guided CSK to four IPL championships, will be close to 42 by the start of the following IPL season. The cricketer is still an important part of their system for sure. As per the sources, Vishwanathan said that MS Dhoni would lead the CSK team in the upcoming IPL season.

Notably, the charismatic captain, who had served as CSK’s captain since the IPL’s debut in 2008, turned over the reins just two days before the start of IPL 2022 to all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja. Jadeja returned Dhoni’s captaincy responsibilities midway through the IPL 2022 for the remainder of the season when CSK didn’t do well under his leadership.

MS Dhoni and CSK

The world Cup-winning skipper had already stated that he would continue to represent the four-time champions during IPL 2022, stating that it would be wrong not to express his gratitude to Chennai and the CSK supporters in front of them. It would be unjust, according to Dhoni, to skip Chennai.

Along with their four IPL championships, CSK won the now-defunct Champions League twice under Dhoni’s leadership, in 2010 and 2014, respectively. Dhoni-led CSK will be seeking to make a successful recovery in IPL 2023 after a disappointing previous season in which they finished in ninth place.

Amazon Great Indian Festival Sale 2022 is now official

The wait is over now. After Flipkart, the e-commerce giant Amazon also announced the most awaited sale Amazon Great Indian Festival Sale 2022. It’s the biggest sale offered by the platform where it unlocks jaw-dropping deals in collaboration with the product brands and obviously, banks. Amazon has yet to announce the dates officially, but it started teasing what we can expect.

As you probably know, Flipkart announced its biggest sale of the year, the Big Billion Days Sale 2022 last Saturday. There also we can see a glimpse of the brand deals along with the bank offers.

As per my expectation, both the sales will start almost at the same time. This we saw last year as well, Flipkart revised the BBD 2021 dates to give hard competition to Amazon.

Like every year, Prime members will get additional benefits, including early access to all the Great Indian Festival Sale 2022 deals. As of now, we need to wait a bit more to get the official dates. But we are too close to both the sales for sure and that is not more than 2 weeks.
