WhatsApp users in India may soon be required to have a SIM card inserted in their phones to use the messaging app. The company is reportedly working on a SIM binding feature in compliance with a government directive from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT).

Under this regulation, a user cannot operate an account without the SIM associated with the phone number being physically present in the device. If the SIM is removed, the app will automatically log out, ensuring that accounts remain tied to verified phone numbers. WhatsApp Beta Hints at the Change The feature has already appeared in WhatsApp’s Beta version 2.26.8.6 as a pop-up notificatio...

A heated debate has erupted in the AI world as Anthropic accused Chinese tech firms DeepSeek, Moonshot, and MiniMax of stealing data from its AI model Claude to enhance their own systems. In response, Elon Musk turned the tables, criticizing Anthropic and questioning its credibility. Allegations by Anthropic Anthropic, in a blog post, claimed that the Chinese companies used thousands of fake bot accounts to interact with Claude and extract its responses. According to the company, around 24,000 fake accounts were created, and over 16 million queries were made to the AI. Anthropic described this technique as distillation, a process where a powerful AI model is used to train smaller or less capable AI systems. The company framed it as an industrial attack, warning that foreign firms ...

With summer approaching, it’s time to get your air conditioner serviced. But the question arises: should you go for a jet (water pump) service or a normal/dry service? The choice depends on your AC usage and whether it’s the first service of the season. Jet Service vs Normal Service Jet Service: This involves cleaning the AC using a high-pressure water pump. Water is sprayed through a pressure gun to thoroughly clean cooling coils, fins, and the blower. It removes deep-seated dirt and grime accumulated over months. Normal or Dry Service: In this method, the technician removes the air filter for washing, brushes the cooling coils, and dusts the blower. Only a small amount of water or a spray bottle is used. Dry service is less expensive but cannot reach the deep grime inside the co...

Have you ever noticed that when an iPhone is locked, incoming calls don’t show a disconnect button? Yet, when the phone is unlocked, you can see both the answer and end call buttons. There’s a simple reason behind this design — and an easy way to hang up even when your iPhone is locked. Why the Disconnect Button Is Missing on a Locked iPhone When your iPhone is locked and a call comes in, Apple intentionally hides the end call button. This prevents accidental touches while the phone is in your pocket or bag, which could otherwise unintentionally answer or disconnect a call. Instead, a slide-to-answer bar appears, and the call can be answered by swiping. To hang up on a locked iPhone, the power button can be used. When the End Call Button Appears The end call button is visibl...
