Yamaha is looking to launch an electric scooter in India soon, waiting on government policy

As the world moves towards more sustainable fuel sources, EVs (Electric Vehicles) are looking to become the defacto automobiles in the future. To that end, countries like India and China, with large populations are also looking at expanding the EV market in their respective countries. Just a few weeks ago, Yamaha revealed its new electric scooter in Japan and revealed that it plans to launch an electric scooter in India soon. As of now, there aren’t too many large players in the scene so it’s ripe for a company that knows what it is doing to really make a dent.  As of right now, there are only two other companies looking at electric scooters in India. Namely, TVS and Bajaj. And, because the technology is rather new, it looks like the time is right for an EV revolution of sorts. As a country that depends on two-wheelers, an electric scooter like the Yamaha Fascino 125 FI Hybrid could be what tips the scales towards a more sustainable transportation system.  In an interview with Autoc

Everything from Nintendo Direct E3 2021

As the Nintendo Direct kicked off at E3 2021, there were tons of announcements (although none about Nintendo Switch Pro), which included a slew of new games for its ever-so-popular Nintendo Switch console. Further down, you can explore almost everything announced at the ~40mins long Nintendo E3 2021 Direct event.  The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 While being one of the most anticipated titles, Zelda fans were likely kinda both excited and disappointed by the Nintendo E3 2021 event.  Fans were expecting a nearabout release window of 2021, but it was announced to be released somewhere in 2022. From the first gameplay footage of the anticipated sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, it looks like Link will be heading up into the clouds for this game, which reminds us of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. The brief trailer teases a few new and upgraded abilities, including Link freezing a giant spiked cement ball to roll it back at the enemies, phasing through solid

Everything about Valorants upcoming agent KAYO: The Silencer Robo

Words of the new upcoming agent were first confirmed by Valorant developers last month in the State of the Agents. As promised, they will be introducing the KAY/O agent with the new update rolling out next week with the arrival of Valorant's Episode 3: Act 1 on June 22nd.

How to link your passport number to Covid-19 vaccination certificate

Travelling abroad? You will need to get your passport linked to your vaccination certificate. Vaccination certificates have become the new mandatory requirement to travel abroad. Though so far there are no set norms globally for exemptions for vaccinated travellers and most countries have their own rules, one thing is clear: No vaccination, no international travel. So this makes it as important for those planning a trip abroad to link their passports to the vaccine certificate as to get the vaccination. from Gadgets Now https://ift.tt/3qvAiWc via app promotion

Learn to learn; the value of a degree is vanishing

Rajendra Pawar, chairman of the NIIT Group, says earlier if you learnt, say, cement technology of a certain type, the technology would last some 40 years, and what you learnt in college and in the first few years of working would be enough to see you through your entire career. But now, he says, technology is changing extremely fast and you might live up to 100 years. “So imagine the number of times you will have to make changes in your life. Lifelong learning is the rule of the game,” says the co-founder of the group that pioneered IT skilling in India. from Gadgets Now https://ift.tt/3del16A via app promotion

Amazon reportedly destroys millions of perfectly fine gadgets every year

An undercover investigation by ITV News has revealed that Amazon is sending millions of laptops, smartphones, Bluetooth speakers, and even face masks every year to landfills and recycling centres.  The news website shows recorded footage from one of 175 warehouses that Amazon operates across the world where unsold goods are being marked for destruction and being dispatched in trucks. A former employee further reveals that the target of this centre located in Dunfermline, Scotland alone was to destroy 130,000 items per week or 6 million products every year. Amazon is also donating a measly portion of the unsold inventory. For every 130,000 items sent for destruction, around 28,000 were marked for donation.  Also Read: What if a botched Google search card says you are a serial killer? “I used to gasp.

What if a botched Google search card says you are a serial killer

Many of us have come to heavily rely on Google Search and often don’t question the veracity of information Google cherry-picks from the vast data available on the world wide web for its search cards. This incident, which is one part funny and two parts scary, makes it clear that Google’s Knowlege Graph may not be as sacrosanct as you may have believed.  Hristo Georgiev was informed by a former colleague that a Google search of his name returned a Google Knowlege Graph that depicted his photo and linked it to a Bulgarian rapist and serial killer of the same name, also known as ‘The Sadist’, who murdered five people back in the 1970s and was later executed by shooting.  The graph linked the info to a Wikipedia article, which incidentally had no link to any of Georgiev’s profile or his image. It was Google’s algorithms that erroneously matched the two. What’s even more problematic is that Hristo Georgiev is not a unique name and is shared by hundreds of other people.  As Georgiev note
