In today’s tech-savvy world, terms like CPU, GPU, and NPU have become commonplace, but do you truly understand their roles and differences? Understanding these processing units can help you evaluate a device’s real performance and know which chipset is truly capable. What is a CPU? The CPU (Central Processing Unit) is often called the brain of a computer or smartphone. It handles general tasks like opening apps, web browsing, managing files, and running system operations. A CPU processes commands and directs the hardware to perform specific actions. Modern CPUs have multiple cores, allowing them to multitask efficiently. The number and speed of these cores largely determine how fast and responsive your device is. Simply put, the overall speed and performance of your device largely...

Imagine lying in bed, unable to move your hands or legs due to paralysis, yet being able to perform every action an able-bodied person can—simply by thinking about it. This is no longer science fiction. Elon Musk’s company Neuralink has recently released a video showcasing this revolutionary technology, which is now going viral. Mind-Controlled Robotic Arm The video shows a patient with paralysis controlling a robotic arm through a brain implant, performing tasks like picking up objects and eating with a spoon—just like anyone else. Posted on Neuralink’s X account, the clip has already been viewed over 15 million times within hours. This breakthrough is part of Neuralink’s PRIME study, which involves a tiny chip called N1 implanted in the patient’s brain. The chip contains 1,024 e...

In the modern digital era, logging into apps and websites using a password has been a standard practice for years. But with advancing technology, a new tool called Passkey is emerging as a safer and smarter alternative. Here’s what you need to know about the difference between the two and which one you should use. What is a Passkey? A Passkey can be considered an advanced version of a password. While it functions as a key to log into websites or apps, it works quite differently from traditional passwords. A Passkey consists of two codes: One code is stored on the app or website server. The other code stays on your personal device like a smartphone or laptop. When you attempt to log in, the system verifies your identity using Face Unlock, fingerprint, or PIN. Only when t...
