            <media:content url="https://static.asianetnews.com/images/w-1280,h-720,format-jpg,imgid-01kv5ggjh76exrbn511f28tjb7,imgname-4-best-air-fryers-for-healthy-cooking-1781522778663.jpg" type="image/jpeg" height="390" width="690"/>
            <content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Samosas, pakoras, mathri, and many other savory delights make up part of the Diwali feast. But if you want to enjoy these delicious items while minimizing the use of added oil, then the purchase of an air fryer may prove handy in the kitchen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While the traditional method of deep frying involves the submerging of the food item in hot oil, air frying is done by using high-speed circulation of heated air. With different options available for various needs, here are 5 different types of air fryers that you might consider purchasing from Amazon India during the festive season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;1. Philips Digital Airfryer HD9252/90&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Philips HD9252/90 offers great functionality and its 4.1-liter capacity makes it an excellent choice for everyday cooking. It is equipped with a digital display and the ability to set up various cooking methods as well as the Keep Warm feature. In addition to air frying, this machine can be used for roasting, grilling, baking and reheating. You can get this at ₹6,799 (43% off) on Amazon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;2. NUUK BRĪSK 6.5L Ceramic Air Fryer&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;What makes the NUUK BRĪSK unique is the 6.5 litres basket and the ceramic coating. The bigger basket may be attractive to families who would prepare several portions of food at once. Moreover, its set programmes and shake reminder may be handy in cooking many snacks at once. You can get this at ₹7,499 (38% off) on Amazon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;3. Havells Prolife Brio Air Fryer&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Havells Prolife Brio, which has a 4.2 litre basket, is meant for practical kitchen usage. With its viewing window users would be able to watch their food being cooked, and with its air circulation system it will be able to evenly distribute heat. You can get this at ₹4,999 (27% off) on Amazon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;4. SOLARA 4.5L Air Fryer&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;The SOLARA 4.5L has a digital touch screen with cooking presets and a transparent window. This could be convenient when cooking various snacks without having to constantly open the basket. You can get this at ₹3,099 (69% off) on Amazon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;5. KENT New Ultra Air Fryer&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;The KENT New Ultra has a 4 litres capacity and 1,300W power. It is worth comparing for everyday use in the kitchen because it has the function of cooking not only fried snacks but other foods as well. You can get this at ₹2,799 (75% off) on Amazon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;What To Check Before Buying&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Choose a model on the basis of basket capacity, cooking functions, cleaning ease and warranty. Product ratings, availability and discounts may change so check the latest information on Amazon.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An air fryer can reduce the need for added oil, but healthier results also depend on ingredients, portion sizes and cooking methods.&lt;/p&gt;]]></content:encoded>

Check the latest Primebook offers, prices and deals available through Amazon and Flipkart during the festive season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;p&gt;Smartphone and laptop prices are touching the sky these days. Primebook, an Indian homegrown brand, brings a massive relief just in time for the Dussehra and Diwali festive season. The company announced mind-blowing offers on its laptops even before the main festive sales begin.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Primebook offers features worth Rs 50,000 at a crazy deal price of Rs 25,000. You can grab these discounts during the Flipkart Big Billion Days and Amazon Great Indian Festival sales. These laptops handle daily tasks and student needs perfectly, though they are not meant for heavy gaming or editing. We explain the laptop offers, processors, and other details below.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;p&gt;Primebook 2 Neo grabs everyone's attention in this festive sale. Flipkart lists its starting price at Rs 23,990. The company gives a direct Rs 3,000 discount on this model. You can also save an extra Rs 1,500 to Rs 2,000 through instant bank card discounts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Primebook 2 Neo packs a MediaTek Helio G99 processor. The laptop features 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. The device weighs just 990 grams. It sports an 11.6-inch HD IPS display and a 29.6Wh battery. The company claims a single charge delivers 7.5 hours of video playback.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;p&gt;Primebook brings the 2 Pro and 2 Max models for users who want a bigger screen and more productivity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Primebook 2 Pro costs Rs 26,990 in the Flipkart sale. It includes a Rs 2,000 discount. The laptop features a MediaTek Helio G99 processor and 8GB RAM.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Primebook 2 Max 128GB variant sells for Rs 27,990 after a Rs 3,000 discount. Amazon and Flipkart offer this model at the exact same price. It packs a 15.6-inch Full HD IPS display, 8GB RAM, and 128GB storage. The company claims its 60.3Wh battery gives a solid 12 hours of battery life.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Both models feature high-end specs like a Full HD display, a backlit keyboard, and a 1440p webcam. These laptops work perfectly for online classes, office work, and browsing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;p&gt;Primebook introduces the 3 Max model for users who want next-generation hardware and AI features. The 128GB model costs between Rs 33,490 and Rs 33,990 during the sale.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This laptop runs on a completely different platform compared to older models. It packs a MediaTek Genio 720 processor, 8GB LPDDR5 RAM, and 128GB UFS storage. The 8th Gen MediaTek NPU delivers up to 9 TOPS of AI computing support. The device includes advanced features like a 5MP camera, WiFi 6, and Bluetooth 5.3. The laptop weighs 1.59 kg and offers 12 hours of playback with its 60.3Wh battery.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;p&gt;These laptops stand out because they do not run on a regular Windows operating system. Primebook uses its own PrimeOS. Primebook bases its PrimeOS 3.0 in the Primebook 2 series on Android 15. The company designed it specifically for big screens, keyboards, and trackpads.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can run all your regular smartphone Android apps directly on this laptop. The native app store gives you access to over 50,000 Android apps. You also get a Cloud PC option if you want to use Windows software. The Cloud PC lets you use Windows and Linux environments. However, this feature requires a separate subscription fee and an active internet connection.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;p&gt;You must understand your exact needs before buying this laptop. This device does not replace a standard Windows laptop for everyone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Students attending online classes, people doing document work, and users watching YouTube or OTT videos will find this perfect. It also works great for basic office tasks and Android app usage.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You should stay away from these laptops if you need heavy Windows software, professional video editing, or heavy gaming. Users who rely on specific apps unavailable on Android must also avoid this.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Primebook offers a solid choice if you want a budget laptop for basic needs during this festive sale.&lt;/p&gt;]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Want better photos from your iPhone? Five simple tricks involving camera settings can significantly improve your shots, from adjusting brightness to achieving professional-looking portraits.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your iPhone packs a powerful camera. But many users never unlock its full potential. Apple designs default settings for convenience, yet a few simple adjustments to your camera's internal settings can transform everyday snapshots into truly breathtaking photos. We've compiled five essential tricks. These use often-overlooked features, giving you greater creative control and much sharper images.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want better photos instantly? Take control of your exposure. Your iPhone's auto-exposure usually works, but it struggles in tough light &mdash; think bright backlighting or dim scenes. Don't let your iPhone guess. Tap the screen where you want focus, then slide your finger up or down on the sun icon that appears. Sliding up brightens the image; sliding down darkens it. This adjustment ensures perfectly lit subjects, preventing blown-out highlights or lost shadow detail. It creates a balanced image.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;p&gt;How do pros get those perfectly balanced, engaging shots? The secret: basic compositional techniques. Your iPhone makes them easy with the 'Grid' feature. To enable this tool, go to Settings &amp;gt; Camera. Toggle 'Grid' to on. Immediately, a nine-square grid appears over your camera's live view.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;p&gt;A playful pet, a child on the move &mdash; you shoot a quick series. Then you find each photo has different focus or brightness. This inconsistency ruins a great moment. Here's trick three for better photos: use the AE/AF Lock feature. AE/AF? That's Auto Exposure/Auto Focus. Lock it for precise control.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How to activate it? Tap and hold your finger on the screen. Pick the spot for focus and exposure. A yellow 'AE/AF Lock' banner appears at the top. Now, reframe your shot. Or let the light subtly change. Your iPhone maintains that exact focus and exposure. This keeps every photo in a sequence sharp and perfectly exposed, preventing unwanted blur or distracting brightness shifts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;p&gt;Want truly striking photos of people, pets, or objects? Portrait Mode changes the game. Many modern iPhone models offer this feature. It uses computational photography to simulate the shallow depth of field DSLR cameras and specialized lenses typically achieve. It artfully blurs the background &mdash; that's 'bokeh'. Suddenly, your subject pops with a professional depth effect.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;p&gt;Serious about top-quality, editable photos? Newer iPhone Pro models offer advanced capture formats: Apple ProRAW and 48 Megapixels. Unlock this capability: navigate to Settings &amp;gt; Camera &amp;gt; Formats. There, enable 'Apple ProRAW' or set Photo Mode to '48 MP' for compatible devices.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These settings capture far more image data than standard JPEGs. A 48-megapixel image, for example, provides immense detail. You can crop extremely without quality loss, or produce stunning large prints. Apple ProRAW, on the other hand, combines a standard RAW file's info with Apple&rsquo;s computational photography. This offers unparalleled flexibility for post-capture editing. You can adjust white balance, exposure, shadows, and highlights with professional precision in editing apps &mdash; rescuing otherwise lost details. This is the ultimate trick. Photographers get maximum control, with the potential to turn good images into extraordinary ones.&lt;/p&gt;]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Apple's iPhone 17 will see significant price drop during Flipkart's upcoming Big Billion Days sale, reaching an effective price of Rs 79,999. However, this advertised price requires buyers to qualify for specific bank discounts and exchange bonuses.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;p&gt;Apple&rsquo;s iPhone 17 is set to become considerably cheaper during Flipkart&rsquo;s upcoming Big Billion Days sale, although the headline price will require buyers to qualify for more than one offer. There is a reduction in the price of the smartphone from its advertised price of Rs 99,900 to the effective price of Rs 79,999, because it is being marketed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Because the advertised price takes into account both a bank discount and an exchange bonus, it is possible that not all customers will be able to acquire the gadget at the price of Rs 79,999 from the retailer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ahead of the sale, Flipkart is pushing customers to add the phone to their wish list so that they may check out the deals that are available when the products become available for purchase.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Big Billion Days sale is scheduled to open to customers on October 9, while shoppers with early access will be able to place orders from October 8. During the sale, the iPhone 17 will be available for purchase for a price of Rs 84,999. This price is before any extra discounts are taken into consideration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Despite the fact that this is a drop from the phone's MRP of Rs 99,900, the bigger savings comes from the combination of the special pricing with the applicable payment and exchange incentives.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to the deal that is being advertised by Flipkart, qualified purchases that are completed using credit cards issued by ICICI Bank or Axis Bank are eligible to earn an additional discount of Rs 2,000. There is also the possibility of receiving an extra exchange incentive of Rs 3,000, provided that the requirements that apply are met.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If a buyer qualifies for both benefits, the calculation brings the effective price to Rs 79,999. In total, that is Rs 19,901 below the stated listed price.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is essential to make a distinction between the selling price and the effective price. The amount of Rs 79,999 is not a set fee that is accessible to all customers at the point of checkout. On the contrary, it presumes that the purchaser satisfies the prerequisites for both the bank promotion and the exchange incentive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is possible that the exchange component will provide existing smartphone customers an additional means by which they may minimise the amount of money they spend for the iPhone 17. When customers complete in the exchange process, they have the opportunity to submit a qualifying old device and get the bonus that is specified, provided that the transaction satisfies the requirements set out by Flipkart.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An additional factor that may influence the ultimate value of an exchange is the device that is being traded in as well as the terms that were in effect at the time of the purchase. It is consequently recommended that purchasers consider the advertised effective price to be a computation based on a special offer rather than a guaranteed amount for each and every consumer.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is important for customers to read the deal details that are provided on Flipkart and check the amount that is displayed at checkout before they complete an order. It is possible to begin shopping on October 8 for those who are entitled for early access, while the Big Billion Days sale will begin on October 9 for additional customers.&lt;/p&gt;]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Tesla has brought the futuristic dream of flying cars into the spotlight after showcasing a redesigned Roadster that drove upside down on a specially engineered ramp, performed brief airborne manoeuvres and landed safely. The jaw-dropping demonstration took place at a SpaceX facility in McGregor, Texas, on October 15, nearly nine years after the next-generation electric sports car was first unveiled.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The spectacular stunt marked a significant moment for Tesla&rsquo;s long-delayed electric supercar. The vehicle climbed a massive curved ramp, continued along it while upside down and then launched into the air before making a safe landing. The demonstration highlighted advanced technology developed in collaboration with SpaceX, Elon Musk&rsquo;s rocket company.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Musk shared a video of the stunt on his social media platform, X, with the caption: &quot;Turns out the future does have flying cars.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Turns out the future does have flying cars https://t.co/6fexPp6SXI&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 16, 2026&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tesla's official account also shared footage of the demonstration, sparking fresh interest in the possibilities of next-generation vehicle technology.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Real life, baby https://t.co/3QEqn18wig&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&mdash; Tesla (@Tesla) October 16, 2026&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At the heart of the redesigned Roadster&rsquo;s extraordinary capabilities are SpaceX-developed cold-gas thrusters, which generate thrust using pressurised gas. Combined with other specialised systems showcased during the event, the technology enables the vehicle to execute unconventional manoeuvres far beyond the capabilities of a traditional road car.&lt;/p&gt;View this post on Instagram&lt;p&gt;However, the impressive display does not mean flying cars are ready to hit public roads. The demonstration was conducted under controlled conditions, and there is no indication that the Roadster has received regulatory approval for airborne operation on public roads. Questions surrounding safety, legal clearances and the practical challenges of everyday use remain unanswered.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tesla first unveiled its next-generation Roadster in November 2017, promising an electric sports car that would push the boundaries of performance. However, repeated production delays have kept eager customers waiting for years, turning the vehicle into one of the company's most anticipated projects.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to reports following Thursday's unveiling, Tesla now plans to begin production in 2028. If the timeline holds, customers will have to wait even longer before the redesigned electric supercar becomes commercially available.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;]]></content:encoded>

The rollout begins on October 29, 2026, and will gradually reach various Oppo, OnePlus, and Realme smartphones and tablets into early 2027.]]></description>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;ColorOS 17 is Oppo's newest operating system. It was released on Tuesday in India and other areas around the world, the tech company said. The update, which is based on Android 17, will also be sent to some OnePlus and Realme smartphones and tablets, as planned by those two tech companies earlier this year. In September, the new ColorOS 17 update came out for the first time in China. The update adds Oppo's Living Flow Design to phones and computers that can use it. Oppo, Realme, and OnePlus have also shared the release date and list of devices that will soon be able to get the ColorOS 17 update based on Android 17.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;ColorOS 27 Features, Changes You Should Know&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oppo said that compatible Oppo, OnePlus, and Realme devices would get the most recent version of Android 17 with the ColorOS 17 update. The Living Flow Design, which includes Oppo's Luminous Effect, Fluid Motion, and Flexible Feedback, is included with the updated software. Along with a sophisticated dynamic lighting effect that seeks to direct a user's attention, the Luminous Effect element adds more transparent and softer graphics to the user interface.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Meanwhile, many interface elements can move, combine, and change &quot;from one state to the next&quot; thanks to the Fluid Motion element. This is said to provide a &quot;sense of continuity&quot; throughout the user interface. However, it is said that the Flexible Feedback component provides comparable response to touch in the system user interface. When pressed on, the element enables buttons, toolbars, and other interactive program elements to visually compress, stretch, and rebound. It is said that this will provide consumers a tactile and engaging experience.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For eligible smartphones, Oppo's ColorOS 17 upgrade, which is based on Android 17, also offers a number of performance improvements. It presents the upgraded Luminous Rendering Engine as the foundation for the Unified Rendering Architecture. It creates a single pipeline by combining disparate rendering operations. It is said that improved UI transitions and visual effects are made possible by the new architecture. Additionally, it is claimed that the design improves performance by eliminating unnecessary rendering processes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;According to the firm, rendering loads may be reduced by up to 30% using the Unified Rendering Architecture. Furthermore, it is said to use up to 25% less RAM for rendering than ColorOS 16, which is based on Android 16. Moreover, regardless of system load, this is supposed to provide more seamless interactions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Oppo ColorOS 17 rollout timeline: Eligible devices&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oppo has announced that this will be a gradual rollout starting from 29th October 2026. The following is the list of eligible devices for the India rollout, along with the schedule.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;October 29, 2026: Oppo Find N6, Find X9 Ultra, Find X9s, Find X9 Pro and Find X9.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;October 30, 2026: Oppo Find N5, Find X8 Pro, Find X8, Reno16 Pro 5G, Reno16 5G, Reno16c 5G, Reno16 FS 5G and Reno16 F 5G.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;November 2026: Find N3, Find N3 Flip, Reno15 series, Reno14 series, K14x 5G, K14 5G, K13x 5G, F33 5G, F31 5G and F29 5G.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Q1 2027: Find N2 Flip, Reno12 series, F33 Pro 5G, F31 Pro series, F29 Pro 5G and Pad SE series tablets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;OnePlus and Realme ColorOS 17 rollout&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;The simultaneous software update timeline also lists the devices eligible for the update, including both OnePlus and Realme devices.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The OnePlus Pad 4 is set for October 29, while the OnePlus 15R, OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13s will be released on October 30. Other eligible models, such as the OnePlus Open, the OnePlus 12 series and the Nord series, are expected in Q1 2027.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For Realme, the GT 8 Pro series is scheduled for October 29, followed by the GT 7 Pro and Realme 16 Pro series on October 30. Other devices in the GT, Number, P and Narzo series will be available in November, December and Q1 2027.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Reno13, K13, K13 Turbo, Oppo Pad 3 and Pad 5 series tablets - December 2026.&lt;/p&gt;]]></content:encoded>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;WhatsApp is getting ready to roll out a super useful feature for its users. The messaging app is currently testing a 'Scheduled Messages' feature. You can draft your texts, photos, and videos in advance and set them to send automatically at a specific time. Some Android beta users have already started getting this update. WhatsApp might roll out this feature to more users in the coming weeks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;How to schedule messages on WhatsApp&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;WABetaInfo tracks all new WhatsApp features. Their latest report says select users on the WhatsApp beta for Android version 2.26.40.7 have received this scheduling tool. You can draft your message and pick the exact date and time for delivery. You just need to type your message in a personal or group chat and long-press the send button. This action will bring up the scheduling option. You can then select your preferred date and time. The app will automatically send the message when the time comes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;You can schedule photos and videos too&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can schedule links, photos, and videos along with regular text messages. However, WhatsApp might restrict you to scheduling only one photo or video at a time. You will still get the option to edit, draw, and add captions to your images before scheduling them. The report mentions you can schedule a message anywhere from 10 minutes up to two weeks in advance. The biggest highlight is that the app will send the message automatically at the scheduled time, even if your phone is offline or WhatsApp is closed.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Option to cancel scheduled messages&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can easily review and delete your scheduled messages before the app sends them. WhatsApp will likely add a dedicated section in the chat info screen for this purpose. The recipient will not get any notification if you delete a scheduled message. For group chats, only the people who were members when you scheduled the message will receive it. Anyone who joins the group later will not see that scheduled text.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;When will everyone get this feature?&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;This new feature will come with standard end-to-end encryption security. Select Android beta users can currently test this feature via the Google Play Store. WhatsApp might expand this rollout to more users in the coming weeks. However, the company has not announced an official release date for the general public yet.&lt;/p&gt;]]></content:encoded>

The company is already revealing deals and offer prices for many products before the sale begins. TCL has announced the price of its massive 65-inch smart TV as part of this. The market price of this TV is Rs 61,990 before the sale, but you can own it for just Rs 39,999 during the sale. You get a massive discount of around Rs 22,000.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;p&gt;This TV features a massive 65-inch display screen. It uses a QLED panel instead of a normal panel to give you high-quality visuals. The QLED technology makes the picture quality look very clear and colourful. The company also provided a 60-120Hz refresh rate to give you a very smooth feel without any lag while scrolling or watching content. Every scene looks crystal clear because of this.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;p&gt;A TV with good picture quality needs good audio to give you the real fun. TCL provides exactly that in this 65-inch QLED TV. The company packed 2 speakers inside this smart TV. These speakers generate a total sound output of 28W. You get high-quality visuals along with powerful sound that gives you a theatre feel at home. This is the best option for people who watch movies and sports.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;p&gt;Many people face hanging or lagging issues while using smart TVs. TCL provided the Google TV operating system in this TV to solve this problem. The TV has 2GB RAM support to make applications work and open faster. You also get a 16GB internal storage option to download your favourite apps. You will not face any lag or delay while scrolling through content on this TV.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img&gt;&lt;p&gt;The company provided full facilities to connect other devices to this TV. You get 3 HDMI ports and 1 USB port on the connectivity front. You can easily connect your laptop, gaming console, set-top box, or pen drive using these ports. These ports are also very useful for screen sharing. This is a golden opportunity for people looking to upgrade their home with a big TV at a low price this festive season.&lt;/p&gt;]]></content:encoded>

            <description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Google DeepMind is hiring engineers for its new Polaris group to test AI code agents, offering a massive salary of up to $1.1 million. Surprisingly, the company is ignoring traditional educational degrees in favor of raw problem-solving skills.&lt;/p&gt;]]></description>

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Engineers are being sought by Google DeepMind for a job that could pay up to $1.1 million, which is about Rs 10.9 crore. People are interested in the job because the company says it doesn't care about the amount of education as much as it cares about how people think and solve problems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The job opening is with Polaris, a new group whose goal is to create ways to test and rate AI code agents. People have also asked if degrees are really as important as practical skills when applying for jobs at top tech companies because of the job posting.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Google DeepMind said in its post on X that the work was about making advanced testing tools for AI coding bots. Engineers would also be able to test new designs and share their findings with the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It said in the ad that the team was looking for people based on their thinking and building skills, not their job title or experience. Tamay Besiroglu, a Google worker, shared the story and drew attention to the pay.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;We&rsquo;re hiring exceptional engineers to join the team. No degree required. All we care about is you being smart and able to solve hard problems,&quot; Besiroglu wrote, adding that total compensation ranges from $550,000 to $1.1 million.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The pay range and the lack of a degree requirement led users to discuss whether employers should focus more on what candidates can do than on their educational background.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We're hiring exceptional engineers to join the team.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;No degree required. All we care about is you being smart and able to solve hard problems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Total comp is $550k-$1.1M (job ad says something else, but ignore that).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&mdash; Tamay Besiroglu (@tamaybes) October 10, 2026&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, there were people who expressed their approval of the method, stating that the ability to tackle challenging problems ought to be more important than a degree. Some others saw the job as evidence that brilliant individuals might find employment that paid well even if they did not take the traditional academic path through their education.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the other hand, not everyone was convinced that the job that was being advertized was indeed available. In response to a question on the wage information, a user wrote, &quot;Is the job ad genuinely false, or are you merely substantiating the &quot;equity&quot; number here? What causes that to occur if the former is the case?&quot;Besiroglu replied, &ldquo;Numbers are accurate, but merely doesn&rsquo;t report equity.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;]]></content:encoded>

Read on to discover which Apple smartphone provides the most cost-effective value for your budget.]]></description>
            <media:content url="https://static.asianetnews.com/images/w-1280,h-720,format-jpg,imgid-01m4e2h5yd4jmnqax8e9jjy55n,imgname-gemini-generated-image-yueimzyueimzyuei-1791473784778.png" type="image/jpeg" height="390" width="690"/>
            <content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Cupertino-based tech giant Apple announced the iPhone 17 last year. Even though its update isn't scheduled until early next year, big e-commerce sites in India will be selling the iPhone 17 on sale starting soon. Further, during the holiday shopping season, you may save money on the iPhone 16. Depending on your financial situation, this may be your last opportunity to purchase the iPhone 17 or iPhone 16 at a discount compared to their debut costs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But which one is the more cost-effective option? To make things clearer, we've compared the two in terms of pricing and features.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;iPhone 17 vs iPhone 16: Display&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;While both iPhones feature Super Retina XDR OLED panels, their sizes differ slightly: the iPhone 16 is 6.1 inches while the iPhone 17 is 6.3 inches. The iPhone 17 also has a 120Hz refresh rate, thinner bezels, and a greater peak brightness of 3,000nits (compared to the iPhone 16's 2,000nits), among other major changes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;iPhone 17 vs iPhone 16: Performance&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;The iPhone 17 features an A19 chipset, whereas the iPhone 16 has an A18 CPU. The latest vanilla flagship shipped with iOS 26, up from iOS 18 on the previous generation device. However, both phones may be updated to the most recent iOS 27 software.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;iPhone 17 vs iPhone 16: Battery&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;In terms of its battery life, Apple asserts that the iPhone 17 is capable of withstanding up to thirty hours of video playback (in a controlled setting), which is eight hours longer than the iPhone 16. Additionally, the base 17 is capable of supporting quicker charging thanks to the improved PD charging standard.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;iPhone 17 vs iPhone 16: Camera&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;The iPhone 17 comes equipped with a primary camera with 48 megapixels and an ultrawide camera with 48 megapixels, as well as an 18 megapixel camera with a Center Stage. In addition to a 12MP front-facing camera, the iPhone 16 has a 48MP + 12MP rear camera. While we are on the subject of enhancements, the iPhone 17 features improved ultrawide and front camera performance.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;iPhone 17 vs iPhone 16: Price&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Apple India&rsquo;s official website, the iPhone 16 starts at Rs 89,900. A starting price of Rs 99,900 is offered for the iPhone 17, which is an increase of Rs 10,000. On the other hand, the iPhone 17 will be available for Rs 79,899 during the Festival of Electronics sale that will begin on October 9 at Reliance Digital outlets. Taking into account the extra bank payback of Rs 3,000 and the exchange incentive of Rs 8,000, the price may be reduced to Rs 68,899.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With an extra bank incentive of Rs 1,500 and an exchange bonus of Rs 3,000, the Apple iPhone 16 will be available for purchase for a price of Rs 69,899 in India.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The conclusion is that the iPhone 17 is the superior option if you are able to extend your budget and take advantage of these deals. This is because the iPhone 17 features a display that operates at 120Hz, a quicker CPU, increased battery life, and an enhanced camera system.&lt;/p&gt;]]></content:encoded>

            <description><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;After shutting down Orkut in 2014, Google&rsquo;s once-popular social network is back in the spotlight as founder Orkut B&uuml;y&uuml;kk&ouml;kten launches a petition for a new platform focused on genuine connections and AI challenges.&lt;/p&gt;]]></description>
            <media:content url="https://static.asianetnews.com/images/w-1280,h-720,format-jpg,imgid-2814101e-bc1d-46e4-bca8-d2ad4450c132,imgname-image.jpg" type="image/jpeg" height="390" width="690"/>
            <content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;O&lt;/strong&gt;rkut was an absolute craze in India and other countries once upon a time. Now, the platform might just make a comeback. Founder Orkut B&uuml;y&uuml;kk&ouml;kten is making moves to launch a brand new social media network. He wants to build an internet space that actually values real connections, friendships, and genuine human intimacy, according to reports.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Google pulled the plug on Orkut in 2014 after it became a massive hit among the youth in the 2000s. People are talking about its possible return now, more than a decade later. But keep in mind, the company has not made any official announcement about relaunching the exact old platform yet.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Online petition for a new Orkut&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;B&uuml;y&uuml;kk&ouml;kten has kicked off an online petition on orkut.com to gather support for his new social media venture. He is targeting people who want a more human experience on the internet. Over 2,70,000 people from 115 countries have already signed this petition, according to current reports. He also dropped an open letter and a message on X. He strongly believes the internet should help people find friends, build communities, and create a space where everyone feels accepted.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Social media forgot its real purpose, says founder&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;B&uuml;y&uuml;kk&ouml;kten feels that today's social media platforms have completely lost their original purpose. He mentions in his open letter that he built some of the earliest social networks two decades ago and has watched them change firsthand. Connecting with strangers across the globe used to be a thrilling experience. But today, he criticizes platforms for caring more about grabbing user attention than building meaningful relationships.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He points out that algorithm-driven feeds, engagement-boosting tricks, and data collection for ads have completely changed the nature of social media. Loneliness and anxiety are shooting up among the youth because of this, he notes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;AI and the crisis of online trust&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;The rise of artificial intelligence is also destroying trust on social media, warns B&uuml;y&uuml;kk&ouml;kten. Figuring out if you are actually talking to a real person on the other side is getting harder. He argues that fake accounts, deepfake videos, AI-generated content, and automated AI agents are severely weakening trust in online interactions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&ldquo;Artificial intelligence is an extraordinary technology. But it is destroying the basic concept that made social media special and valuable. That was the trust that there is a real person on the other side,&rdquo; he explains.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Not the first comeback attempt&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Rumours about an Orkut comeback are not new. B&uuml;y&uuml;kk&ouml;kten reactivated orkut.com back in 2022 and published an open letter about creating a new social network. He imagined a platform that focused on meaningful connections and communities even back then, rather than the engagement-heavy model we see on mainstream apps. However, that attempt did not result in an official return of the old Orkut.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He is once again asking for public support to build a more human internet through his latest campaign. Old Orkut users are highly hopeful about this comeback, but there is no clarity on when the new platform will actually launch. The project is currently just in the public support gathering phase. We still do not have an official announcement or a launch date.&lt;/p&gt;]]></content:encoded>

The panel supports up to 5,000 nits of peak brightness, making it designed for smoother visuals and better visibility in bright conditions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The display is paired with a premium glass design and an aerospace aluminium frame. The handset also carries IP68 and IP69 ratings for protection against dust and water.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Vivo V80: Camera&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Photography is one of the major highlights of the Vivo V80. The phone features a triple rear-camera system comprising a 50MP ZEISS OIS main camera, a 50MP ZEISS telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom and an 8MP ultra-wide camera.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The telephoto sensor supports optical image stabilisation and can deliver up to 100x zoom.

Vivo is also promising four OS upgrades and six years of security updates.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Vivo V80: Battery&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Battery life is another key selling point. The Vivo V80 packs a 7,200mAh battery, which Vivo describes as the largest battery capacity in its V-series.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The phone supports 90W FlashCharge, allowing users to recharge the large battery more quickly.

            <media:content url="https://static.asianetnews.com/images/w-1280,h-720,format-jpg,imgid-01kxzd4fjtyqv7s48byws92cts,imgname-bluetooth-technology-1784539135578.jpg" type="image/jpeg" height="390" width="690"/>
            <content:encoded><![CDATA[&lt;p&gt;Harald &quot;Bluetooth&quot; Gormsson &ndash; that's the 10th-century Viking king who gave his name to modern wireless technology, Bluetooth. This Scandinavian monarch, who ruled Denmark and parts of Norway, became an unlikely inspiration for the digital age. He symbolised the tech's goal: uniting disparate communication protocols.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Around 958 CE, Harald Gormsson began his rule. He reigned until 986 CE, famously unifying warring Danish tribes into one kingdom. His nickname, &quot;Bluetooth&quot; (Bl&aring;tand in Old Norse), likely came from a prominent dead tooth that appeared dark or blueish, or perhaps from his dark complexion.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;The Legacy of a Unifying King&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;958 CE. That's when Harald Gormsson took over from his father, Gorm the Old, Denmark's first recognised king. Harald ruled until around 986 CE, achieving much in state-building.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Most famously, he unified warring Danish tribes into a single kingdom. He even extended his power into parts of Norway. This era also saw his conversion to Christianity, a key moment he commemorated with the Great Jelling Stone. He declared he &quot;won for himself all of Denmark and Norway and made the Danes Christian.&quot; This act of connecting diverse regions and cultures made him a natural symbol for the tech world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;How the Name Emerged&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;1997. That year, the name 'Bluetooth' became firm during a key meeting of tech leaders. Jim Kardach, an Intel engineer, proposed the distinctive name.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Companies like Ericsson, Intel, and Nokia then worked on a unified short-range wireless standard. They needed a way for different devices &mdash; mobile phones, laptops, peripherals &mdash; to communicate easily. Kardach, fresh from a Viking novel, saw a strong parallel between King Harald's historical role and the project's ambition. He explained why:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&quot;King Harald Bluetooth was famous for uniting Scandinavia, just as we intended to unite the PC and cellular industries with a short-range wireless link.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;From Temporary Codename to Global Standard&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bluetooth was just a codename at first. Developers at Ericsson, Intel, and Nokia used it as a temporary name, considering alternatives like RadioWire and PAN (Personal Area Networking).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The project, originally the 'short-link radio technology' initiative, needed a permanent name. They searched for one. But as development progressed and the technology neared commercial release, the informal 'Bluetooth' became popular internally.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Time came to pick a formal name. Trademark research showed problems with preferred alternatives like 'RadioWire' and 'PAN' &mdash; they faced complications or were already in use. With these hurdles, and the codename already liked by the consortium &ndash; which now included IBM and Toshiba alongside the original three &ndash; 'Bluetooth' became the official choice. Its memorable quality and strong historical story made it stick, leading to its official adoption for the standard released in 1999.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2&gt;The Iconic Logo&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;What about the logo? It also honours the Viking monarch with a clever design. It's a bind rune &mdash; an ancient Norse and Germanic custom.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;They combine two or more runes into one symbol. Here, the logo blends two Younger Futhark runes representing Harald's initials: H (ᚼ) for Hagall (meaning 'hail' or 'storm') and B (ᛒ) for Bjarkan (meaning 'birch' or 'birch goddess'). This clever blend of ancient script gives Bluetooth its distinctive look. It shows its deep link to Harald &quot;Bluetooth&quot; Gormsson.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Harald Bluetooth united kingdoms a millennium ago. Today, his spirit unifies billions of devices. His story echoes through every wireless connection, from smartphones to industrial sensors. A Viking king's legacy still drives innovation.&lt;/p&gt;]]></content:encoded>
