For contact tracing, the Indian government launched Aarogya Setu App for Androids and iOS platforms back in April. But there was no option for the feature phone users. Recently the Ministry of Electronics & IT solved this a bit. They bring a version, a few days back, for the KaiOS platform which is installed in JioPhones.
Yesterday, the government Tweeted that, within this short of the time period the app got installed by 30 million Jio Phone users, which is 3 crores. This number is quite expected as the JioPhone user count is a very big number. Rather, the government also made mandatory to install the app while traveling and also for some other cases.
The domestic flights are opened from this month. If you need to travel on flights, you have to have this app installed on your phone. The presence of this app on your phone will be a part of the verification process while entering the airport.
This is not the first time for the Aarogya Setu app to achieve milestones. From the launch date, it got 30 days to cross 50 million downloads, and in the next 28 days 100 million individual users.
At the end of May, the government releases the source code of the Aarogya Setu Android app. The code of iOS version is yet to release and now the KaiOS version is added. The government says they will release the source codes in the coming weeks.
The whole world has been outraged by the brutal death of George Floyd. He was killed by a police officer who kneeled down on the back of his neck. The #BlackLivesMatter movement has once again come to the forefront to protest against the racism that they face in their everyday lives.
Indian Premier League, the biggest franchise T20 league has also been accused of racism activities. Former Sunrisers Hyderabad player, Darren Sammy has accused his teammates of calling him names due to his skin colour.
IPL and Sunrisers had previously denied Sammy’s claims but now the proof of racism against him is on social media.
Ishant Sharma had posted a picture with Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Darren Sammy and Dale Steyn on Instagram. The caption was “Me, bhuvi, kaluu and gun sunrisers”. The caption of this picture has justified Sammy’s claim of racism in IPL.
Darren Sammy has now posted a video on Instagram on Monday. He has called out everyone who used the ‘degrading’ word.
He wrote: “So recently I discovered a word that I was being called was not what it actually meant I need some answers. So before I start calling out names I need these individuals to reach out and please tell me there’s another meaning to that word and when I was being called it, it was all in love. #blackandproud #blackandconfident #clarasboy #saynotoracism #stopracism #cricketer #stlucia”
Sammy further said: “I will be messaging those people who called me by that name, you guys know who you are. I must admit at that time when I was being called that, I didn’t know what it meant, I thought the word meant strong stallion or whatever it is, and I saw no problems because I was ignorant about what it meant.”
“But every time I and Thisara Perera was called with that word, there was laughter at that moment. Me being a team man, I thought teammates are happy, so it must be something funny.”
These incidents happened in 2013 when Sammy and Pereira were playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad. But IPL franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad, Board of Cricket Control of India (BCCI) and some of his teammates have denied all these allegations.
BCCI treasurer Arun Dhummal said: “Someone should report for us to act. Also, BCCI has zero-tolerance policy against any racial slurs. We as an organization always stand for equality for everyone.”
Ishant Sharma’s picture with the caption ‘Kaalu’ will go a long way in proving Sammy’s claim of racism in IPL. It’s sad to hear that racism hasn’t even spared IPL. Racism should be banned and dealt with strongly. A person should not be belittled because of his skin colour.

On June 11, Xiaomi will be launching its much anticipated Mi band 5 in China and Mi NoteBook series in India, both of the new products will be making their global debuts respectively. Obviously, we got a first look of the band already and now a lot of teasers on Weibo talk about the specs of this new smart band.
The posters suggest the fact the Mi Band 5 will be an upgrade over its predecessor than a completely new one, which the leaked images clearly show.
According to the teaser poster, the Mi Band 5 features a 1.15-inch AMOLED screen to the 0.95-inch screen in the Mi Band 4. However, it is difficult to guess whether the size of the pill has increased or actually Xiaomi has increased the screen size on the previous dimensions.
Ditching the previous mechanism of popping up the pill and fit it into the cradle was too boring, and now Xiaomi confirms to include a magnetic charger with Mi Band 5. With 11 sport modes, you can find any kind of activity you want to get monitored to along with a dedicated SpO2 sensor to track your blood oxygen levels.
The new Mi Band 5 will have NFC support and a camera shutter button which lets you remotely capture pictures. Now, it will be interesting to see how Xiaomi prices the band, like its predecessor or greater and when it will available in China as well as other countries as well.

LaLiga will be back in action on 11th June after 3 months of suspension due to the Coronavirus pandemic. LaLiga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona have a huge fanbase in India.
Earlier Sony Pictures Networks India used to be the broadcasting partner of LaLiga in India. But sadly, from last year there is no broadcaster in India for one of the most popular football leagues in the world.
Facebook has bought the exclusive media rights for LaLiga in the Indian Sub-Continent. Since the beginning of this season, Facebook has been live-streaming the LaLiga matches in English in India.
There’s good news for the Indian LaLiga fans. Facebook will be streaming the LaLiga matches live in India in both Hindi and English commentary. You can catch all the LaLiga action live on LaLiga’s official Facebook page.
India is a land with vast cultures and languages. Hindi is arguably the most spoken and understandable language in India. So LaLiga will be showing Hindi commentary as well. The viewers can choose English or Hindi as per their choice.
Jose Antonio Cachaza, India head of La Liga, told Mirror: “It is like cricket in India. The viewer can choose between English commentary and Hindi commentary.”
All the remaining LaLiga matches will be played behind closed doors to prevent the spread of COVID-19. No fans will be allowed inside the stadium, only the players and staffs. LaLiga has decided to use virtual images of stands in television broadcasts with added ‘fan noise’. These virtual effects would be just like the FIFA video game.
The broadcaster has the choice to broadcast the match with no virtual things or else they can choose to display the real match with virtual effects. Facebook hasn’t confirmed their choice yet.
LaLiga president Javier Tebas said: “We have made these broadcasting changes so fans can enjoy La Liga. We work with global partners to offer a great viewer experience. We are in an exceptional situation, but for us, it has been important to be able to adapt and offer a compelling, cutting-edge broadcast to our fans.”

The world’s largest smartphone manufacturer, Samsung, is well known for its recent One UI which they brought to us few years ago. Samsung’s One UI is a true OS that every smartphone lover wants to have, obviously, better than what we see 3-4 years ago with Samsung phones.
While every other smartphone OS by Chinese smartphone giants like Xiaomi’s Mi UI, Vivo’s Funtouch OS an others are showing ads on their smartphone, Samsung was supposed to be the pioneer by not implementing ads whatsoever.
Lock Screen ads on One UI 2.5 that only lets you unlock after 15 seconds (via Tizenhelp)
Samsung’s new One UI 2.5 was supposed to bring a lot of new changes on a positive side, but it seems budget Samsung smartphones are in danger. As per Tizenhelp, ads were shown on Samsung’s new One UI 2.5 and the pathetic part of it is, ads were being shown on the lock screen of the device.
The time-bound ads shown allowed you to unlock the smartphone having watched an advertisement for 15 seconds, which is disgusting. However, the screenshots shown are believed to be the early version of the smartphone but it totally depends on Samsung on which devices they choose to show ads.
Also, it depends on country-specific where Samsung is allowed to do so, but it seems unlikely for the South Korean giant to show ads on flagship devices like Galaxy S, Note, Fold series. But Samsung might really push ads on its budget Galaxy A and M series smartphones to cope up with the cost behind development.
Apart from the lock screen ads, these advertisement banners were spotted on the Weather app as well in the current One UI 2.1 only. This suggests, in particular, Samsung apps we will be noticing ads as well, in future too with One UI 2.5, now, which device will be showing ads will be an actual thing to keep an eye on.
