Anyone else using ChatGPT more than Google Search lately

For quick questions and comparisons, are you also the one who is using ChatGPT the traditional way? I am opening ChatGPT, thinking of it as Google. It feels faster and less cluttered for basic queries. Have AI tools started replacing traditional search for you, too?

OpenAI ChatGPT Images 2.0 is here, and it will directly compete with Google Nano Banana 2.0. Which one do you think is b

My LeEco Le 1s Fingerprint Sensor - The Best Security Feature

Being a part-time online trader and a full time business man on the move, I have always been worried about losing my phone or my information falling into the wrong hands. Not only do I have to keep my information secure, but I also need access to my online trading accounts at a moment’s notice.

While I have been pretty happy with the conventional security that a 4-digit pin code offers (some phones use lock patterns), there have been times where I lost a good opportunity to make a killing on the commodities market because I was unable to access my accounts fast enough due to the security lock and pin code. I recently read that a person unlocks his devices 110 times a day, I probably unlock my phone at least twice than the average.

Recently, I saw a Le 1s advertisement on Flipkart and I learnt that it had fingerprint scanning technology and I saw this as an answer to my prayers. From the little I understand and some quick google reference, I found out that fingerprint identification technology in phones had the answers to all my security concerns. Since no two finger prints are same, the automated authentication biometric of Le 1s allows just its rightful owner to access the phone. Since identification is based on the fingerprint scanner, it also removes the need to remember a password there by providing an accurate and reliable way to unlock the phone.

One interesting feature of Le 1s is that the sensor comes with a 6H hardness anti-scratch mirror that allows the finger print to be read without any issues.

As I tried to unlock my phone, I found the sensor enables both flash recognition and identification accuracy immediately and effectively as promised and it eliminates the need for PIN codes or patterns to be memorised.

Now with quick access to my online trading and banking accounts, I can truly say that I have all information at my fingertips.

Root - A Privilege That Should Be Allowed By The Smartphone Companies

Now many of you people wouldn't know what 'Root' is so, lemme explain, it is kind of a 'Privilege', which allows us to access the core functions of our android smartphone, it is something that is not allowed by the smartphone companies and what they do is if they find that a phone is rooted, they void it's warranty because it is something that could help us overlock our phone's CPU to a higher level.

Now this is only one feature of root, but there are many others like by rooting your phone you could have access to 'Cheat Tools' which can help us modify an apps data, make In App Purchases (IAP) free and patch some apps to get their premium versions for free, removing unwanted system apps with ease, but it also helps in SECURING OUR PHONE, like '360 Security', it needs root to establish a firewall to protect our phones from unwanted access, key logging etc., I think that it should be allowed by the smartphone companies, like there are two sides to every coin, just like that, there are two kind of people, one which need it to secure their phones and one who hack IAP and stuff by using it.

I want to say that people would never stop rooting their phones and hacking stuff just because these companies void the warranty, it's like a limitation, how do you know who will use it for the good and who will use it for that bad? So, simply just let people do what they want, they paid for the phones and warranty comes within it.

Some tools that could help you root your phone:

1) iRoot (Windows)
2) iRoot (Mobile)
3) Unlock Root (PC Version Only)
4) Framaroot (Android version only)

Some hacking apps due to which smartphone companies don't allow root:

1) Freedom
2) Lucky Patcher
3) SB Game Hacker

Note: I've not posted the rooting methods, please search Google for that.

Should The ISPs Provide A Better And Faster Internet At Cheaper Rates?

As many of you guys have seen, I'm very active in here and post some random questions once in a while so, here's today's question, "Should The ISPs Provide A Better And Faster Internet At Cheaper Rates?"

So, the answer is both yes and no.

Why yes?

Because it'll help in the following things:

1) Growth of technology and awareness in India.

2) Increase the online bussiness.

3) Make India one more step closer to compete from the USA.

4) Attract more and more people to get online and become smarter (Well, if you get what I mean).

5) And above all, downloading and uploading data at much faster rates (I'm feeling so high right now).

Why no?

Piracy. Now, this one word is much bigger than the five points I've stated above, due to it millions of dollars are pirated online everyday digitally in the form of games, movies, songs etc. (This reminds me of The Pirate Bay).

Well, how can ISPs improve their connection speed and lower the prices?

The clear answer is Optical Fibre lines, in India this work is going on, the govt. has taken the responsibility to lay down optical fibre lines but the work is very slow, I guess that it'll not get finished before 2018....

Where can I get the fastest internet connection in India if I wanted to?

Kerela: It has an insanely fast 1 GBPS internet connection which I think is provided by the govt. or IDK 'cause it's not stated anywhere.

Hyderabad: This city has Act Fibernet which provides 100 MBPS speed which is pretty good.

Any future of this?

Yes, there is if Google Fiber comes to India, it provides 1 GBPS internet connection for which we have to pay monthly and a one - time payment internet connection which gives us the average speeds of today's internet (Like USA or other high speed country).

Conclusion?

India seriously needs to higher the speeds and lower the rate of internet connections if it wants to compete with the world.
