In a future update to the app, you will be able to add a calling shortcut by simply clicking the contact cell within the list of your contacts. It will be automatically placed on your device’s home screen after you create a new calling shortcut. Particularly for those who regularly call the same individual and don’t want to go through the procedure of opening the application and looking for the contact each time, this function will help users save a little time while also making the calling process unquestionably faster.

A future version of WhatsApp will include the feature of allowing users to create calling shortcuts, which is currently under development. When we have more information to share with you, there will be another article on this website.

The second characteristic is the capacity to distribute larger papers. It is now feasible to email documents up to 2GB in size thanks to this capability. Following a wider rollout, more users now have access to the capacity to share larger documents, although it’s clear that not everybody is aware of this option. In the area where you can read your documents, WhatsApp is developing a brand-new in-app banner that will be available.

The new banner will indicate that users can exchange files and documents up to 2GB in size. This announcement may be helpful because it will alert users who are not yet aware of this function and will undoubtedly entice them to use it. The option to share files up to 2GB in size is now available thanks to a new in-app banner that is currently being developed and will be made available in a future app update.

ASUS, which has been dominating the Indian gaming market with its insane range of products from gaming laptops to PCs and accessories have been thrilled by this decision.

Mostly as we know being recognized as an official “Sports” category and even offered specialized courses from Hero Vired and others, gone are those days when parents used to think their children have no “career” in gaming. If anyone wants to pursue a serious gaming career can do so now and OEM giants like ASUS who provide the gear for this same will obviously benefit.

Ander Herrera has signed for Athletic Club permanently, ending his loan spell from PSG. The midfielder has signed a contract until 2024 with the Basque club, confirmed by the club and the player. 

According to Fabrizio Romano, Ander Herrera’s sale helped PSG go through with Keylor Navas’ loan deal to Nottingham Forest. The goalkeeper has signed for the Premier League side on a loan until the end of the season. 

Ander Herrera signs permanently for Athletic Club 

“For me it is not news. When I came I already knew that I would be there for two years. I understand that this official status will have been a bureaucratic issue,” Herrera said after the buy option was triggered. 

“From the day I came to Bilbao I already knew how long I was going to be at Athletic and the contract I was going to have. Then the issue between clubs is something that is not my responsibility.

“I already had defined all personal terms of operation from the day I signed in the summer.”

Herrera was on loan at the La Liga club from summer 2022, and six months later, he has signed permanently. His previous spell with Athletic Club was from 2011 to 2014 before he joined Manchester United. This season, the 33-year-old has made 11 appearances across all competitions, playing for 467 minutes.

NFL Legend Tom Brady announces his retirement

0

NFL legend Tom Brady has announced his retirement from American football. He played a total of 23 seasons in the National football league, and decided to hung up his boots. Though Tom Brady initially retired the same month, one year back but his decision proved to be a temporary one as he stroke back to play for one more season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Tom Brady in this regard

The legendary quarterback said in this regard that he is retiring for good. He knows the process was a pretty big deal last time so when he woke up that morning he figured out he’d just press recorded, and announced this news to the audience first.

Tom Brady also added that it won’t be long-winded. People only get one super-emotional retirement essay, and he used his one the last time. Lastly he thanked his fans for allowing him to live his absolute dream, and it wouldn’t also change a thing. The NFL legend also thanked his family, friends along with his teammates and competitors for their support during his illustrious career.

Brady’s legendary career

Tom Brady isn’t just a legend by name but known for his work too. He is a seven-time Super Bowl champion, and is arguably considered as the greatest quarterback ever, with leading the New England Patriots to six Lombardi trophies as well as the one to Bucs.

Besides, he has also been a three-time league MVP, and has been known for breaking every existing record of his time, including the regular season passing yards, which was 89,214, and the passing touchdowns which was 649.

Addition to that, Brady almost broke the record of most wins by any NFL player which is 251. Tom Brady was indeed phenomenal in the pitch, and he being on the team always served as a great place of reliability. NFL itself tweeted him as the greatest ever.

Best Online Casino Sites in India

0

Gambling entertainment has been in great demand for centuries. And if a dozen years ago slot machine halls and fashionable casinos were popular, now more and more players are choosing online establishments. To access the gambling establishment, you must have access to the Internet.

Best Online Casino Sites in India

Consider all the advantages of the best online casinos in India and the basic rules for choosing. Internet establishments for money have a lot of advantages, which include:

  • No dependency on location. You don’t even need to go out. You have the opportunity to visit a gambling establishment online at work, in transport, on a walk, in line or in any other place where you need to spend time with pleasant entertainment. You can play in the casino from any device connected to the Internet.
  • A large number of virtual entertainment for every taste. In addition, you can only find casino games from the world’s best providers, which guarantees a high return rate. Online casino games are divided into certain categories.
  • The presence of profitable bonuses. If you want more of them – you have to click pin-up.casino apk download. If you come to a regular casino, the maximum that a user can get is bonus games on certain machines. Regular bonuses in the form of additional funds on the bonus account can only be received in online casinos for money. In addition to the registration and deposit bonus, many gambling establishments offer cashback from the amount lost, birthday gifts, special bonuses for big holidays, free spins, promotional codes, participation in a win-win lottery and other bonuses that make playing in a virtual gambling establishment more profitable than in the ground.
  • Ability to play from any device. All you need is the Internet. Many casinos have a separate software application that allows you to play slot machines when the Internet is weak.

These advantages allow virtual casinos for money, such as the licensed Pin-Up gambling establishment, which are currently very popular among gamblers.

The main features of online establishments

The following features should be highlighted in the online casino:

  • Cash win. Despite all the nuances, people come to the casino to win. Each player has a chance for a cash prize, and the rest depends on his skills and luck. It is not necessary to spin slots, because there is Blackjack or poker with real opponents.
  • Pleasure. During the game, everyone gets an emotional charge from a sense of excitement. Various genres of entertainment allow you to enjoy the process of the game.
  • Availability. Although access to sites is limited, users can play online. This is a serious advantage over a real casino.

You can not ignore such disadvantages of online casinos:

  • Excitement. Many face gambling addiction, which leads to large financial losses and harms mental health;
  • Chance to win. Not everyone is lucky in gambling, and only a few manage to make money on it. It is difficult to calculate the winnings here, so the illusions about cash prizes will collide with strict reality;
  • Fraudsters. There is a big risk of getting scammed. Many establishments are not licensed and can simply cheat their customers if they win.

Particular attention should be paid to the last point. It can be avoided if you start playing in a licensed gambling establishment. Everyone decides for himself whether he should become a registered user of a gambling establishment. If you choose a quality institution and do not lose your head from excitement, then you can have a great time. Gambling clubs have their pros and cons.

Manchester United 2-0 Nottingham Forest: EFL Cup final set for Ten Hag’s side

0

Manchester United defeated Nottingham Forest 2-0 in their EFL Cup meeting, earning a spot in the final of the competition. Following their 3-0 victory in the first leg, the Red Devils claimed the win on aggregate with a 5-0 margin. 

They are now set to meet Newcastle United in the finals of the tournament on February 26. And if they win, they could put an end to their drought for silverware which has lasted six years, ever since the departure of Jose Mourinho. 

Manchester United advance to EFL Cup finals after defeating Nottingham Forest 

During the first half, Manchester United looked a little sluggish. Considering they already had a 3-0 advantage heading into the tie, it can seem quite obvious that they didn’t need to put in too much effort. However, Erik Ten Hag’s determination to perform in every outing was highlighted by his criticism of the first half, and he urged his side to do better. 

Alejandro Garnacho was the best attacker for Manchester United during the first half, taking on his man and creating all kinds of trouble. However, the rest of the team seemed quite laid back on the pitch. 

The absence of Christian Eriksen was also felt strongly, with Fred being unable to provide the same assurance and quality from central areas. The arrival of Marcel Sabitzer will no doubt help deal with the Dane’s injury, as their qualities are quite similar. 

Marcus Rashford assisted both goals in quick succession, as Anthony Martial marked his return with a goal. And while Fred wasn’t able to dictate play in the same way, he was able to score the second goal to end all hopes of a late comeback.  

The Red Devils will be going up against a determined Newcastle United in the finals. And it is anybody’s guess as to who wins the tournament this time around. 

NVIDIA Titan RTX “Ada” GPU appeared in a recent shipping Manifest

0

A recent shipping manifest could be our first indication that NVIDIA is indeed developing a new Titan RTX graphics card based on the Ada architecture. The shipping manifests can be found on Volza, which tracks global import data and has several containers of “PG137-0000” GPUs (prototypes) on their way from the US to India for further testing and validation.

Several other GPUs are mentioned, but they have already been released as the RTX 4090, RTX 4080, and RTX 4070 Ti. There is currently no graphics card available that uses the PG137 board and has 48 GB GDDR6 memory. This could be mistaken for the RTX 6000 Ada, but it’s a completely different board design.

According to Kopite7kimi, the next-generation NVIDIA Titan RTX graphics card will be based on the Ada Lovelace GPU architecture and will include the AD102 GPU with 142 SMs and 18,176 CUDA cores. A similar chip with the AD102-400-A1 designation is rumoured to be used on the GeForce RTX 4090 Ti card.

NVIDIA

Only the fully enabled SKU with all 144 SMs should be given the AD102-450-A1 designation, but such a product is unlikely to be released. It could be released later as another Workstation or BFGPU-class card, but no rumours have surfaced of a fully enabled Ada AD102 GPU.

The NVIDIA Titan RTX “Ada” is also said to have 48 GB of GDDR6 memory spread across a 384-bit wide bus interface.

Now, the listing clearly states GDDR6 memory rather than GDDR6X memory, but it would be strange not to include the fastest memory solution on a premium product like the RTX Titan.

One possibility is that standard Non-X memory is used to reduce the absurdly high power consumption, which is estimated to be around 800-900W. Another possibility is that the listing does not distinguish between GDDR6 and GDDR6X memory standards. The latter appears more plausible, as it is also the case with the same lister’s RTX 4090/4080/4070 Ti listings.

NVIDIA
credit: wccftech

More recently, Matthew Smith of TechPowerUP reported that the NVIDIA Titan RTX “Ada” graphics card is being tested and has appeared in validation with 2235 MHz base and 2520 MHz boost clocks, as well as 48 GB GDDDR6X memory.

This does not imply that the card is ready for prime time, but rather that there is something more powerful out there that may or may not be released. The graphics card is expected to have a quad-slot cooling solution as well as a one-of-a-kind PCB and I/O design. The card would easily pass the 100 TFLOPs barrier even at stock clocks, given that the RTX 4090 can already hit 2.8-2.9 GHz boost frequencies with ease, and the TITAN would have done the same.

Samsung Galaxy S23 series officially is here – All You Need to Know

0

The new Galaxy S23 series features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 for Galaxy processor that has been overclocked and was created especially for Samsung. This chipset is the first to feature real-time semantic segmentation for the selfie camera on a phone.

Samsung Galaxy S23 series

Not to mention the 200MP Samsung ISOCELL sensor that is unique to the S23 Ultra or the S23 and S23+ panels’ increased brightness. Reviewing the new Galaxy S23 series features will make you drool over them throughout 2023, so let’s get started!

The Galaxy S23 phones will go on sale on February 17, 2023, one week earlier than the S22 launch the previous year. If you pre-registered for one, you’ll receive a reservation bonus and access to nearly three weeks of preorder promotions on top of that.

Samsung maintained the Galaxy S23 line’s prices from the previous year, but increased the Galaxy S23basic +’s storage by two times and added a 512GB tier to the S23, which now starts at a base price of $799 for the 128GB model. The Galaxy S23 Ultra costs $1,199.99 at carriers, excluding trade-in incentives, or users can pay $33.33 per month for 36 months to get it.

The Galaxy S23 series features a 200MP ISOCELL HP2 sensor from Samsung as its largest hardware update, while the S23 and S23+ also have a dual PDAF 12MP Ultrawide camera with macro mode capabilities from the Ultra but retain the 50MP main camera sensors from its predecessors.

Similarly to last year, the S23 Ultra provides 10MP telephoto and periscope zoom sensors.

In a 1/1.3-inch optical size, the 200MP sensor has 200 million pixels with a 0.6-micrometer (m) resolution. With a sensor this size used in 108MP main smartphone cameras, customers of high-end smartphones can have a high-resolution camera without having to cope with noticeable camera bumps.

It won’t be the first time that Samsung sells an ultra-high-resolution sensor to other phone manufacturers so they can boast about it, like its most recent 108MP and 200MP devices, but keeps its customized version for themselves and the Galaxy S Ultra series for its most recent generations. Of course, the S22 Ultra’s 108MP sensor isn’t a dud.

Samsung is able to be stingy with the gigabytes that go into its phones since it makes its own internal flash storage chips and RAM memory. At least for the S23+ and Ultra models, Samsung’s Galaxy S23 series finally ends the trend of 128GB beginning storage.

The Ultra adopts a boxier shape, while the normal S23 and the S23+ drop the camera island plateau on the rear and take on the individual protruding lenses from the Ultra.
