WhatsApp for Desktop finally receive Voice and Video Calling feature, Group calls to be added in the future

0

WhatsApp on Thursday announced that voice and video calling has been added as a new feature on its desktop app for Windows and Mac, a move that will now allow users to make calls through their desktop PCs or laptops. In December last year, the Facebook-owned application started rolling out voice and video calls from the desktop app for select users only. 

“Answering on a bigger screen makes it easier to work with colleagues, see your family more clearly on a bigger canvas, or free up your hands to move around a room while talking,” the company said in its official announcement of the new feature.

The instant messaging platform said voice and video calls are end-to-end encrypted, calling from a mobile device or a desktop PC does not matter. The security and privacy features will remain the same, so WhatsApp can’t hear or see them whether the call is made from phones or computers. 

“We’re starting with one-to-one calls on the WhatsApp desktop app so we make sure we can give you a reliable and high-quality experience. We will be expanding this feature to include group voice and video calls in the future,” it added.

To ensure easy operability on the desktop app, WhatsApp has made arrangements for it to work seamlessly on portrait and landscape orientation and appear in a standalone, resizable window to suit the user’s needs. It is set to appear on top so that users don’t lose their video chats amid a stack of open windows or browser tabs.

Notably, WhatsApp also said that users can only place one-to-one calls from the desktop app and said that this is to ensure that a “reliable and high-quality” experience is being delivered. Group voice and video calls will reportedly be included in the future.

WhatsApp said in its press release that it has seen a notable increase in users calling one another through the app.

“Last New Year’s Eve, we broke the record for the most calls ever made in a single day with 1.4 billion voice and video calls. With so many people still apart from their loved ones and adjusting to new ways of working, we want conversations on WhatsApp to feel as close to in-person as possible, regardless of where you are in the world or the tech you’re using,” WhatsApp said.

Earlier in January, face and fingerprint unlock when linking devices was also announced by the company as another new security feature for WhatsApp Web and Desktop. “This adds a layer of protection when you want to link your WhatsApp account to your computer,” the company said. With the new feature, users will be asked to link their WhatsApp accounts to their computer via Face ID or fingerprint.

Netflix rolls out ‘Fast Laughs’ on the mobile app, a TikTok-like feature to watch short funny clips

0

The American OTT content platform Netflix Inc has launched a Tik-Tok-like feature for its iPhone app called “Fast Laughs” that will give its subscribers the opportunity to get their dose of laughter, without having to watch a whole comedy TV show or movie.

According to Netflix, the Fast Laughs tab, which has been added to the mobile app, will launch a stream of funny snippets from TV shows, movies, comedy routines, and sitcoms.

“Wanna see something funny?” Netflix asked rhetorically in a blog post.

“On Netflix, this one little question opens up lots of possibilities from hilarious series and films to laugh-out-loud stand-up specials,” it further stated.

However, according to recent reports, ‘Fast Laughs’ availability, for now, is limited to iOS device owners in select countries. The feature looks and feels very similar to TikTok or Instagram Reels, the major difference being that content creators do not make fast Laugh videos. The concept is that different short clips, which are taken from shows like the adult animation comedy ‘Big Mouth’ among other comedy shows, or stand-up specials from comedians like Jerry Seinfeld and Ali Wong, will play directly within the Netflix app.

“This is the part where we have to say that not all clips will be appropriate for all audiences,” Netflix said in the post.

If any of the shows, films, or comedy specials that you see in the Fast Laugh tab sparks interest, you can add the said title to your saved list to watch later. Patrick Flemming, director of product innovation at Netflix, said, “We’re always looking for new ways to entertain and make discovery easier for members.”

To access Fast Laughs, select the new icon located in the Previews row in the Netflix app display. Like on the rival app TikTok, the Fast Laugh feed provides a row of buttons to give reactions to the video that is being watched.

All content available on this new feature can also be shared on social media platforms.

Currently, Fast Laugh is still in a trial phase for Netflix users in the United States, the United Kingdom, and some other countries. It is still unclear whether Netflix has plans of expanding the Fast Laugh’s availability worldwide or not.

“We do experiments like this (Fast Laugh) in different countries and at different times – and will only make it widely available if people find it useful,” said Netflix.

Meanwhile, YouTube Shorts, which is Youtube’s quick clips meant to compete with TikTok, were racking up 3.5 billion views a day during beta testing in India, the platform’s head informed last month.

Considering the growth and prominence of TikTok in the market right now and Netflix’s last few earnings reports specifically referencing TikTok as a major competitor, Fast Laughs makes sense for Netflix to come up with. Though Netflix and TikTok make different types of content, people spending more time on TikTok results in less time on Netflix.

Content creators have got early access to some of the devices of the series and are letting people know their honest opinions on these devices of the Redmi Note 10 series. Some of them have also put the most important 108MP camera sensor in the test as well. Especially the details on the camera of the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max will be discussed here. We have come across some information that reveals some important details of the camera of this model.

image 16 Redmi Note 10 max Pro's some interesting points you should know

1. First of all talking about the 108MP camera sensor, after clicking phone in 108MP camera mode the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max takes few seconds time to process the high-resolution image. Within that time if the camera is moved or the phone the image will have a blurry effect on it. This used to happen a long time ago when smartphone companies like Oppo, Gionee, and others had just introduced the Ultra Pixel technology that allows a 16MP camera to click pictures like 64MP camera and on that process we have to keep the phones still until the photo is fully processed or else we can get a hazy image.

2. A lot of people loves filming on the go which leads to another concern. In Normal mode the Redmi Note 10 Pro Max’s video is not stable while walking. This means that the EIS does not work properly or needs more calibration.

3. While in Wide-angle mode the video is reported to be stable while walking.

Some changes are set to take place at Inter Milan. Owners, Suning, have decided to leave football and the same will happen in Italy in all probability. Speaking on the situation of the Nerazzurri on the Here We Go podcast, Fabrizio Romano added that Christian Eriksen was on the verge of a Premier League comeback, since Spurs and Leicester were interested in signing the player during the winter transfer market. 

He is now heavily into the project at Inter Milan. He was never playing before the Milan derby, but that free kick goal against Inter’s city rivals has shaken things up for him and he is now playing and is a part of the project. Conte was furious with Eriksen during the winter, and Inter CEO Beppe Marottawas also seemingly ‘done’ with the player.

But they always wanted a loan and the salary of the player to be paid by whoever signed him on loan, which no club ended up agreeing to Ultima. Now, of course, Eriksen is a vital part of the project and is looking to revive his season with the team at the top of the table. 

An update on the contract of Lautaro Martinez: He is extending the contract for sure, as confirmed by Romano and Porzio.  They are just discussing including or changing the €111 million release clause that the player has in his contract.

Varane is now represented by one of the biggest player agencies in Europe, CAA Base, which also represents other big players at similarly big clubs. The Italian duo made it clear that whoever wants him has to pay. At the moment, there are no agreement and there are no negotiations yet, either. For those wanting to see the news of the player staying at the club, patience will be the only way out. 

But for sure it will be after the Sergio Ramos situation is sorted out at the club. The captain is out of contract in the summer and will be free to leave on a free transfer. He is an important player for the club, and has given his everything to the white shirt of Real Madrid.

New Barcelona board to decide on Ousmane Dembele contract as first priority

0

Barcelona’s Ousmane Dembele was in talks with Manchester United last summer, but no move went through for the Frenchman. His situation will be one of the first issues that Barcelona will look to resolve with the new board. 

There was no agreement for a new contract with Dembele with the current or the previous board. The winger has one year of contract with the Spanish club left. He was on the list of Liverpool, Juventus and Manchester United who were trying to sign him on loan but Barcelona straight up said no to the proposed deal.

With the deal between Barcelona and the French winger set to expire at the end of the 21/22 season, the player’s contract is hence, a problem. Things are potentially headed towards a dangerous situation where Barcelona must choose between renewing or selling the player to risk not losing him on an eventual free transfer. 

Dembele’s injury struggles have found their way to the current season as well, but the 23-year-old has eight goals and four assists to show for his appearances for Barcelona on the pitch this season. Moreover, he scored the opener in Barcelona’s recent 3-0 victory over Sevilla that ensured that they progressed into the finals of the Spanish Cup.

Samsung reportedly asking a huge tax incentive for its Austin facility

Samsung has been eyeing Austin in Texas to establish its chip factory in the country. According to fresh sources, the South Korean-based tech giant has submitted paperwork to Texas officials. It has requested a billion dollars in tax incentives to set-up its $17 billion chip factory.

Reports suggest that according to the filed documents, Samsung plans on bringing 1,800 permanent jobs to the factory over the first 10 years, with an average starting salary of around $66K. but to make it happen, the tech giant is asking for a break on its property taxes: it’s looking for a 100 percent break on its payments to Travis County for 20 years, which the company estimates would save it roughly $718 million, and a 50 percent break on the taxes to the City of Austin for five years, with an estimated $87 million.

According to the document, Samsung calls the project “highly competitive,” and says that “due to the higher tax cost of operating in Texas, the appraised value limitation is a determining factor. Without the appraised value limitation award, the company would likely locate the project in Arizona, New York, or Korea.” It only seems that the South Korean-based tech giant is still to figure out where to place its factory.

The deal which Samsung is asking from the state is nothing new, as large-scale industries have always asked for support from the government before setting up their plants. But what Samsung is asking for quite a lot. Of course, Samsung’s chip manufacturing plant will cost a lot to be made but also promises to generate more employment numbers and pay higher salaries. It seems that Samsung may use the billion-dollar figure as an opening negotiation, but we have to wait and see for the official news to be made public.
