Apple Releases Music, TV, And Devices Apps On Windows Platform
February 9, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News
The latest iterations of Apple’s TV, Music, and Devices apps now available for Windows users. These applications may now be downloaded on x86 Windows 10 and 11 devices.
Apple had already made Music, TV, and Devices available on Windows in a “preview” version. Additionally, these programs were exclusive to Windows 11 and not Windows 10.
The applications are no longer in their preview phase and may be downloaded on both operating system versions as of the most recent release.
Apple TV
iTunes will eventually be replaced by devices, TV, and music. iTunes is still in operation. Even though iTunes was phased out by Apple on the Mac with macOS Catalina, it has managed to survive on Windows and get regular upgrades.
But in addition to being clumsy and obviously outdated, the software lacks several contemporary functions. The new applications fill that need.
Apple Devices
For example, the Music app offers all the capabilities found on Apple’s own platforms, including high-resolution and lossless music—something iTunes does not provide.
With the TV app, you can watch video via Apple TV+ in up to 4K HDR and view your iTunes purchases. Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod devices are updated, backed up, and synchronized using the Devices app.
It’s unclear how long Apple plans to keep iTunes for Windows updated. At this point, it’s probably not long for this world, though it could persist for Windows versions older than 10.
Tips From TikTok To Maintain The Integrity Of Polls
February 7, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News
Just two days remain until the general election. TikTok has published on its platform its efforts to fight false information and preserve election integrity, proving its steadfast commitment to preserving a trustworthy, genuine, and safe information environment at this crucial time.
In a statement issued on Monday, TikTok stated that it was “building on its robust global framework to combat misinformation, collaborating with internationally recognized fact-checking organization Agence France-Presse (AFP) as its fact-checker to specifically address the Pakistani electoral context.”
In order to maintain the integrity of the platform, TikTok also collaborates closely with regional community partner organizations in Pakistan.
Through these collaborations, TikTok is able to recognize possible disinformation, address it, and provide its community with correct information on significant occasions.
Although TikTok’s fact-checking partners don’t control material on the site, their evaluations offer insightful feedback that supports the app in following community standards and taking the necessary action, the statement continued.
Innovative product features are part of TikTok’s objective to increase user knowledge and engagement in preserving the integrity of the site.
The Pakistan Election Center, a dedicated hub that is accessible in both English and Urdu, has been created by the app on the platform. It will guide users to reliable sources of information on the election, such as polling places and processes.
Furthermore, users will be empowered to quickly recognize and report potentially false information with the use of simple reporting tools.
An alert and responsible community is fostered by this user-centric approach, which is important during election season.
Additionally, TikTok is dedicated to increasing user knowledge through the provision of instructional materials and in-app tutorials. With the help of these programs, the community will be better able to identify reliable sources of information, which will encourage informed voting.
One of the main facets of TikTok’s disinformation warfare approach is the enforcement of its Community Guidelines, which are accessible in both Urdu and English.
The platform uses a multifaceted strategy that includes deleting content that breaks rules, rerouting search results to reliable sources, and decreasing the discoverability of unconfirmed information.
This all-encompassing strategy guarantees that the platform stays a secure environment free from damaging falsehoods about the election.
Army Placed On Standby In Islamabad On Election Day
February 7, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News
The army has been stationed in the federal capital as part of the election security strategy and will be called upon in the event of any unexpected incident.
According to sources in the capital police and administration, the commanding officers of the Eight Baloch Regiment, 86 Field Regiment, and 17 Field Regiment stationed at Rawalpindi and Islamabad will be notified by the senior superintendent of police (SSP) Islamabad for deployment and necessary assistance, in accordance with the finalized security plan. In the event of a significant incident, the three infantry regiments will react.
Rangers will be under tier-2 security, while the capital police and Frontier Constabulary will be in tier-1. The army’s next tier, the Quick Response Force (QRF), together with platoons, will move quickly to the scene in case of emergency.
Should a sabotage attempt or act occur, the on-site crew will take the appropriate security/preventive action. When a circumstance threatens the public’s safety, the lives of people, or the property of government employees, the army will be called in for aid.
Dolphin emergency response units, Dolphin mobiles, and QRF mobiles will be on the road from February 7 to 9 to handle any emergencies. While Dolphin Mobiles will cover 17 areas, the Dolphin ERU will monitor 45 localities.
Approximately fourteen platoons, each with nineteen police officers carrying tear gas cannons and shells, were stationed at various locations.
Twelve and twenty-six of these standby platoons, each with ten members, are deployed with SDPOs and SHOs, while five such platoons, each with eighteen members, are also deployed with the IGP.
Additionally, six platoons, each with twenty soldiers, are stationed along Constitution Avenue in front of the ECP. In addition, H-9 saw the deployment of two platoons.
Additionally, 19 police pickets, each with three officers, were erected across the capital.
In the capital, around 990 polling places have been set up, 346 for NA-46, 387 for NA-47, and 257 for NA-48. Of the total, the most sensitive voting places for NA-46, NA-47, and NA-48 are 124,108, and 72, respectively, while the sensitive polling places for NA-46, NA-47, and NA-48 are 49, 59, and 27.
When supporters of opposing political parties and candidates conflict, when attempts are made to rig the election, when political activists, offices, and personnel are targeted, law enforcement will intervene.
The Govt May Block The Internet Due To A “Security” Concern On Election Day
February 7, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News
While Amnesty International urged for continuous internet access nationwide during the voting process, acting interior minister Gohar Ejaz warned on Tuesday that internet connectivity may be suspended in the event of security concerns in any location on election day (tomorrow).
At a news conference on election safety in Islamabad, acting interior minister Gohar Ejaz (R) and acting information minister Murtaza Solangi speak.
According to the minister, given the security situation, the government would only think about blocking internet access on February 8 if a district or province requested it.
Mr. Ejaz asserted that the caretaker administration has not yet decided whether to halt internet access on election day and that any such move would only happen in response to a request from a district or province in question.

He said, “The government would look into the nature of the threat before taking any such decision for a specific area as it is necessary to block the online communication of terrorists.”
The day before, Mr. Solangi had ruled out the prospect of an internet outage on election day, citing the ability of local administrations to take such a choice given the state of law and order and the fact that no such crisis had been recorded up to that point.
On election day, the province’s key voting places would have temporary internet connection restrictions, according to interim Balochistan Information Minister Jan Achakzai.
🇵🇰PAKISTAN: Amnesty International, along with several other human rights organizations, call on Pakistani authorities to guarantee uninterrupted access to the internet and digital communication platforms for everyone across the country.
In light of the statement by caretaker…

It asked in an open letter to the authorities to ensure that everyone in Pakistan had “uninterrupted access” to digital communication platforms and the internet during the voting process.
“Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar and Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja, we, the undersigned organizations and members of the #KeepItOn coalition — a global network of over 300 organizations from 105 countries working to end internet shutdowns — appeal to you, to publicly commit to ensuring that the people of Pakistan have unfettered access to the internet, social media platforms, and all other communication channels throughout the upcoming general election on February 8, 2024,” the statement read.
It stated that the government must prioritize and enact steps that promote human rights by providing unimpeded access to information and channels for offline and online freedom of speech, assembly, and association, as the people of Pakistan get ready to cast their ballots.
The group stated, “This will also contribute to an inclusive, free, and fair election process.”
In a similar event, the federal authorities in question were once again instructed by the Sindh High Court (SCH) on Tuesday to guarantee the seamless and continuous supply of internet service and access to social media platforms, excluding the application of applicable laws until February 21.
Chief Justice Aqeel Ahmed Abbasi’s two-judge panel took up three petitions challenging suspension of internet services, although the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority’s (PTA) attorney was not present.
The high court decided to uphold its prior interim ruling until the next hearing and postponed the hearing until February 21.
The interior, information technology, and communication ministries, as well as a federal law officer, requested an extension of time on January 29 to submit remarks. In response, the court postponed the hearing until February 6 and prolonged the temporary injunction.
Attorneys Jibran Nasir and Hyder Raza, along with the Public Interest Law Association of Pakistan, filed petitions against the ministries and PTA for interfering with the use of social media platforms, disrupting broadband and mobile internet service without a valid reason, and attempting to prevent political parties and independent candidates from using social media to campaign ahead of the February 8 election.

February 2, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / World News
The CEO of Tesla, Elon Musk, has been surpassed in wealth by French billionaire Bernard Arnault, who also serves as chairman and CEO of Louis Vuitton.
The French billionaire Bernard Arnault has surpassed Elon Musk to become the richest person in the world.
On Friday, January 20,24, Arnault made over $20 billion (KSh 3.2 trillion) and defeated Musk, who according to Forbes is currently valued at $204 billion (KSh 32.7 trillion).
Aliko Dangote, a Nigerian, increased his net worth to $22 billion (KSh 3.5 trillion) in January by earning over $6 billion (KSh 963 billion).

Dangote made nearly $1 billion (KSh 160 billion) on Tuesday, January 23, 2024, and $282 million on Wednesday, January 24, 2024, according to data from the Bloomberg Billionaire Index.
At the Nigeria Exchange Limited, Dangote Cement’s share price kept up its upward trend.
Cipher Case Imran, Qureshi Sentenced To 10 years In Jail
January 30, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News
In the cipher case, a special court created under the Official Secrets Act on Tuesday sentenced former prime minister Imran Khan and former foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi to ten years in prison.
The Federal Investigation Agency’s charge sheet in the cipher case claims that Imran never returned a diplomatic document. The PTI has always maintained that the paper was a threat to remove Imran from office as prime minister from the United States.
The PTI is running in the general elections on February 8th despite a state crackdown on the party and without an electoral symbol; the ruling was rendered little over a week ago.
Imran was found guilty in the Toshakhana case on August 5 and given a three-year jail sentence. This is his second conviction. The sentence has been suspended by the Islamabad High Court (IHC). Imran had, however, later had his request for the conviction to be suspended denied by a division bench.
However, Qureshi has never had a conviction before.
Judge Abual Hasnat Zulqarnain of the Special Court rendered the decision in the matter. Imran and Qureshi were given a questionnaire in accordance with Section 342 of the Pakistan Penal Code at the beginning of the hearing.
Imran said, “I have said the same in my statement that I do not know,” when the court questioned him where the cipher was after he had recorded his statement. I had the cipher in my office.
Imran said, “I have said the same in my statement that I do not know,” when the court questioned him where the cipher was after he had recorded his statement. I had the cipher in my office.
The two were subsequently given prison terms ranging from 10 years to life by the judge.
The judge then exited the courtroom after pronouncing the judgment, to which Qureshi objected that his statement had not been recorded.
A PTI official said that Pakistan supported Imran and Qureshi “who defended Pakistan and stood for ‘haqeeqi azadi’” in a post on X.
The statement went on, “No such sham trial can change what happened in March-April 2022, on Donald Lu’s orders.”
“A total mockery and disdain for the law in the cipher case shall not cause us to lose sight of our primary duty to provide Imran and Qureshi justice.”
In the message, it was requested that people cast ballots on February 8.
Pakistan stands with Imran Khan and Shah Mehmood Qureshi, who defended Pakistan and stood for Haqeeqi Azadi. No such sham trial can change what happened in March- April 2022, on the orders of Donald Lu.
A complete mockery and disregard of law in the cipher case shall not lead… https://t.co/y3lmuEIN85
It ended, “This sentence will be (thrown) in the dustbin in the appeal stage, and God willing, Kaptaan and vice Kaptaan will be back soon.”
PTI Secretary General Omar Ayub Khan encouraged party members to “remain calm and not indulge in any activity that undermines our traditional stance of a peaceful struggle” shortly after the ruling was made public.
“We intend to appeal this decision in a higher court and carry on with our legal battle,” he said. “We will not let the current Kangaroo Court ruling stop us from adhering to this principle, no matter what,” he continued.
“To guarantee that PM Imran Khan’s nominated candidates are returned to the assemblies with a resounding majority, we should harness and channel these energies for the polling day on February 8,” he stated.
IMPORTANT!! ATTENTION!!
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has always espoused the principle of 'Rule of Law'. The current kangroo court ruling will not deter us from foregoing this principle come what may.
PTI workers should remain calm & not indulge in any activity that undermines our…
A mock trial. Shameful choice. It’s going to be the opposite. Avoid stepping into their trap. Taimur Jhagra of the PTI stated, “Our first response will be our vote on February 8th.”
Sham trial. Sham decision. It will be reversed. Don't fall in their trap. Our vote on February 8 will be our first response.
In October, the case saw the initial indictment of the former prime minister and Qureshi, who is incarcerated. They had entered not guilty pleas. The government’s notification of a prison trial was deemed “erroneous” by the IHC, which canceled the whole process.
Due to the previously assigned defense attorneys who had consented to lead cross-examinations not showing up for the next two court sessions, state defense attorneys were appointed last week.
Imran had declared that the trial was a “joke” since the government owned both the prosecution and the defense.
January 30, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News
The judge closed the defense lawyers’ opportunity to question witnesses in the Toshakhana reference on Monday, while state-appointed counsel wrapped up the cross-examination of all 25 prosecution witnesses in the cipher case. Former prime minister Imran Khan expressed his disapproval of what he considered to be “unilateral” proceedings at Adiala Jail.
The state counsel was assigned on Saturday by Special Court (Official Secrets Act) judge Abual Hasnat Muhammad Zulqarnain since the attorneys for PTI founding chairman and former foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi were unable to cross-examine witnesses in the cipher case.
Ten witnesses had previously been cross-examined by state counsel, compared to four by defense attorneys.
The attorneys for Mr. Khan and Mr. Qureshi engaged in spirited debates on Monday to begin the cipher case hearings, expressing their lack of trust in Judge Zulqarnain. They submitted an application requesting the judge to step down from his position about his choice to assign the state attorney to cross-examine the two PTI leaders’ witnesses.
After hearing the defense attorney’s arguments, the court denied the petition. The court asked Barrister Salman Safdar and Sikandar Zulqarnain, the attorneys for Mr. Khan, if they were prepared to cross-examine the witnesses as he was dictating the order. The attorneys requested that the judge rule on the application first.
In response to the motion being denied by Judge Zulqarnain, the state attorney was ordered to cross-examine the witnesses on behalf of Mr. Khan and Mr. Qureshi. After accountability judge Muhammad Bashir called the hearings in the Toshakhana reference, he departed the courtroom.
Judge Zulqarnain extended the hearings till 11 p.m., at which point the state attorney wrapped up the cross-examination of 11 witnesses, including the former prime minister’s main secretary Azam Khan, the former foreign secretary Sohail Mehmood, and the former ambassador to the US, Asad Majeed.
Judge Bashir of Accountability requested that the defense attorney cross-examine the witnesses during the Toshakhana reference hearing. But Zaheer Abbas Chaudhry, an attorney, showed up in court and presented Wakalatnama from Imran Khan. He told the judge that he needed some time to be ready for the case since he had recently gotten engaged.
However, the prosecution countered that Mr. Chaudhry was the ninth defense attorney to file the Wakalatnama, calling this evidence of deliberate delay.
After the defense team refused to cooperate, Judge Bashir instructed them to cross-examine the witnesses. He then requested Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi to record their testimonies under Section 342 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
In accordance with this clause, the accused may be questioned by the judge “on the case after the prosecution’s witnesses have been examined and before he is called on for his defense.”
A prison official notified Mr. Khan and Mr. Qureshi that they needed to appear before Judge Zulqarnain, who reopened the hearings in the cipher case at a different location within the jail premises, while the proceedings in the Toshakhana reference were ongoing.

Although Mr. Khan was hesitant to come before the judge, Mr. Qureshi did so in order to participate in the proceedings.
Only three court reporters were permitted by the jail administration to cover the more than 13-hour-long cipher case sessions.
Speaking with media representatives, Imran Khan said that the trial’s rapid pace implied that the “match is already fixed.” He declared that US Assistant Secretary of State Donald Lu is being saved at any costs.
He declared that the current events had tarnished the reputation of the general elections and that he was eager to have talks with the establishment. He said that the arrests of PTI members were the direct result of Pakistan’s chief judge. He said that he would request that individuals who have not shown up for electioneering be the subject of an investigation.
According to the PTI founder, Nawaz Sharif, the supreme leader of the PML-N, came back to Pakistan as part of an agreement with the establishment and still uses a “Vigo vehicle” to get to the prime minister’s office. If granted permission, he threatened to organize the largest demonstration ever.
Apple’s New iPhone 16 Pro Max Will Include A Periscope Camera With A Custom 48MP IMX903 Sensor
January 27, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News
Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max rumors point to ground-breaking advancements in camera technology as well as creative design elements.
The flagship smartphone could use a 48MP 1/1.14-inch Sony IMX903 main sensor that has been modified and built using a double-layer transistor architecture, according to information provided by @digitalchatstation.
This camera seeks to provide better image quality than the iPhone 15 Pro Max, its predecessor, with support for 14-bit ADC and DCG. The iPhone 16 Pro Max will also include a periscope telephoto lens to improve photography.
Additionally, as the screen’s edge curvature rises, the new Pro Max feature introduces a tiny yet visible design change that results in a somewhat more comfortable grip. It is expected that the iPhone 16 Pro will have a 6.3-inch screen, and the bigger Pro Max model would have a 6.9-inch screen.
Renowned analyst Ming-Chi Kuo adds his own speculative thoughts, speculating that the 1MG+7P molded glass-plastic camera sensors in the iPhone 16 Pro series may be used.
With two 48MP sensors and a 12MP telephoto lens, the most recent flagship model of the iPhone is anticipated to include significant image improvements.
Apple iPhone
Like its predecessor, the iPhone 16 Pro Max could include a 120mm tetra-prism telephoto lens. Ignoring the current year, the 24MP sensor and 6P lens on the front cameras of all iPhone 17 series phones are overdue for an upgrade.
Along with its new goods, Apple also intends to improve video recording with the introduction of a unique camera button code-named Nova. Five titanium (Ti-6Al-4V) chassis will be used in the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max to maintain the high-end design of the iPhone 15 Pro.
In terms of performance, the A18 Pro CPU, compatibility for Wi-Fi 7, and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X75 modem may be included in the iPhone 16 Pro series, guaranteeing 5G download rates of up to 7.5Gbps. There are rumors about a 3355mAh graphene-based battery that can accept up to 40W of power.
This Is Yamaha’s Very First Hydrogen Concept Vehicle
January 27, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News
For a number of years, we have been aware that Yamaha is eager to explore hydrogen as a potential substitute fuel. Team Blue and Kawasaki declared their intention to collaborate on the development of hydrogen engines in January 2022. Subsequently, after a month, we discovered that Toyota was planning to collaborate on a 5-liter V8 hydrogen engine.
Where Great Expectations Are Met With Limited Pace.
Yamaha Drive H2 – Front Left Angle View
Yoshihiro Hidaka, president of Yamaha, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to investigating hydrogen development as a potential substitute fuel source by July 2023.
Of course, we also can’t overlook the HySE experimental rally car that Yamaha, together with Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Toyota, contributed to constructing, especially since the 2024 Dakar Rally was just written into history.
On January 25, 2024, a future date, Yamaha formally unveiled their first-ever hydrogen-powered concept car. Drive H2 was exhibited by the company at the 2024 Professional Golfers’ Association (PGA) Show in Florida.
Two 25-liter high-pressure hydrogen fuel tanks are needed for operation. One of the tanks is located beneath the driver’s seat, while the other is in the back of the car. It is based on the Drive2 Concierge 4 personal golf vehicle that is now available for purchase from Yamaha Golf-vehicle Company, a division of Yamaha Motor Corporation.
Naturally, the growth of hydrogen vehicles in any area will depend on the infrastructure being in place to support them. People who are interested in any form of electric car have also encountered that in recent years.

What About Motorcycles Powered by Hydrogen?
Although Yamaha has stated that it is interested in investigating the potential of hydrogen power for applications beyond low-speed golf cars (or golf carts), it appears that Suzuki and Kawasaki are the only two businesses that have unveiled designs for hydrogen-powered two-wheeled vehicles thus far.
Remember that January is still early. There are still 11 months remaining in the year, and a lot may happen in a short amount of time.
We’ll be sure to keep you informed when additional details regarding upcoming car innovations become available.
Introducing The Eye Catching New Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 Electric Truck
January 26, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News
The German automaker expects that the new Mercedes eActros 600, a 600kW, 44-ton electric truck, will “define a new standard in freight transport.”
With 50 prototype vehicles already in production, the new electric truck, which is expected to arrive by the end of 2024, will compete with new vehicles from Scania and Renault.
Mercedes New eActros 600 Electric Truck Side View
The massive 600kWh battery, which is composed of three 207kWh battery packs for a total of 621kWh, is the most remarkable aspect of the new e-truck.
Mercedes said that the technology in the new e-truck gave the same degree of durability as a normal truck, with the new eActros capable of 1.2m km in 10 years of operation. As a result, the company decided to employ lithium-ion phosphate battery cells to ensure a longer service life.
The eActros 600 has a range of up to 500 km (310 miles) thanks to its massive battery, however the range when the truck is completely loaded has not been revealed.
Mercedes states that the eActros should be able to travel more than 1000 km (600 miles) per day with interim recharge during scheduled driver breaks. Mercedes claims that it will refit its models with megawatt charging capabilities, meaning that an eActros may be charged at up to 400kW. This should enable a 20–80% charge to be completed in around 30 minutes with a single megawatt charger.
Mercedes New eActros 600 Charging Port
According to Mercedes, most long-distance trips taken by Mercedes truck customers in Europe are less than 500 km, thus fleets would only need to add charging at loading and depot locations.
From a distance, the eActros’s styling is significantly different from that of its ICE-powered sister, almost like a Star Wars Stormtrooper helmet.
The eActros’s cab design is heavily influenced by aerodynamics; the front end has an optimized bumper with underbody paneling and a fully closed-off grille.
Aerodynamic efficiency is further enhanced with a roof spoiler and air deflectors on the A-pillars. The front cabin’s 80mm extension contributed to the aerodynamic form of the structure.
A unique 800-volt electric axle and dual-motor system, together with a four-speed gearbox designed especially for heavy-duty long-haul transport, are highlights of the eActros. Peak power output is 600 kW (805 horsepower).

Regenerative braking makes it possible to recover lost electrical energy and refuel the battery, all the while reducing the load on the actual brakes.
There are five choices for adjusting the regeneration level, and you may use the one-pedal driving mode to avoid having to brake yourself.
Additionally, Mercedes has installed its Predictive Powertrain Control (PPC) gearbox and cruise control, which automatically adjusts the drive system based on the driving style, traffic signs, road terrain, and traffic route.

This eliminates needless braking and acceleration, which usually drain the battery, and permits more fuel-efficient driving.
Mercedes also states that the new e-truck would emit more than 80% less CO2 than a traditional diesel long-haul vehicle over its entire cycle.
A modern exterior sound system has also been added to the German brand’s newest truck to warn bikers and pedestrians of its presence. The Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System (AVAS) sound spectrum, according to Mercedes, is “designed to take into account the appearance of a heavy vehicle.”
By The End Of 2023, Sales Of The New eActros 600 Will Begin, And Production Will Begin By The End Of 2024.
