Types of Refrigerators

Mini Refrigerators

Mini refrigerators are small and compact. They are great for dorm rooms, offices, or small apartments. They save space and are easy to move around. However, they have less storage capacity compared to larger refrigerators.

Single Door

Single-door refrigerators have one door for both the fridge and freezer compartments. They are simple and easy to use. These are usually more affordable and take up less space, making them a good choice for small families or individuals.

Double Door

Double-door refrigerators have separate doors for the fridge and freezer compartments. This makes it easier to organize food and provides more storage space. They are usually bigger than single-door refrigerators and are suitable for larger families.

Side-by-Side Door

Side-by-side refrigerators have two doors that open from the center. One side is the fridge, and the other is the freezer. They offer a lot of storage space and make it easy to access both fresh and frozen foods. However, they can be more expensive and take up more kitchen space.

What to Look for Before Purchasing a Refrigerator in Nepal?

Size and Capacity

When buying a refrigerator, start by looking at the size and capacity. The size you need depends on your household size and kitchen space. Smaller families might be comfortable with a refrigerator of around 200-300 liters, while larger families may need one with 300 liters or more. Additionally, measure the space where you plan to place the refrigerator to ensure it fits comfortably. I have personally witnessed people regret buying refrigerators afterward as they evaluated the space that particular refrigerators would require.

Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is another crucial factor. Look for refrigerators with a high energy star rating, as energy-efficient models consume less electricity, saving you money on your utility bills.

Type of Refrigerator

Mini refrigerators are best for small spaces, offices, or dorm rooms. Single-door refrigerators are suitable for small families or individuals, offering a compact and straightforward option. Double-door refrigerators are good for medium to large families, providing more storage and better organization. Side-by-side refrigerators offer great space and easy access to both fridge and freezer sections but require more kitchen space.

Brand and Warranty

Choose reputable brands like LG, CG, Samsung, and others known for their quality and reliability. Check the warranty period and what it covers, as a longer warranty period often indicates better durability and service. Additionally, consider the availability of spare parts and service centers in Nepal to ensure maintenance and repairs are convenient.

Features

Features such as frost-free technology, inverter technology, adjustable shelves, and temperature control can enhance the functionality and convenience of your refrigerator. Frost-free models prevent ice build-up, reducing the need for manual defrosting. Inverter technology offers better energy efficiency and quieter operation.

Price

Obviously, price has to be a significant consideration. Compare prices from different retailers and look for discounts or offers to ensure the refrigerator fits within your budget while meeting your requirements.

Customer Reviews

Lastly, read customer reviews and ratings online to get an idea of the performance and reliability of the refrigerator you are considering. Taking all these factors into account will help you choose the right refrigerator for your needs in Nepal.

Refrigerator Price in Nepal: Availability

Refrigerators can be bought from various retail stores all around Kathmandu including Daraz. CG centers sell them at great deals but always look out for authorized retail stores.

Gemini AI Scans Drive PDFs Without Permission

Yes, you heard it right! Google Gemini AI service can view private Drive documents without explicit user consent. This raises serious concerns about Google’s handling of AI technology. In this article, we will discuss what’s exactly going on here.

Google Gemini AI: Privacy Concerns Arise

Google’s Gemini AI gained good attention almost overnight, but recently the application has sparked controversy which might eventually damage the company’s reputation. In just a few months Google integrated Gemini with features like document analysis, email replies, and predictive text suggestions across Google Workspace. But, despite these benefits, a serious issue has arisen. Gemini AI can now view private Google Drive documents without user approval, causing serious privacy issues.

Users Concern

Kevin Bankston, a Senior Advisor on AI Governance signalized this issue first. He says Gemini automatically summarized his tax return in Google Docs without prompting.

Bankston found that after activating Gemini for one document, it automatically activates all subsequent files of the same type within Google Drive. This doesn’t stop here, Google Gemini will then be activated automatically for any future files of the same kind that are opened within Google Drive.

When questioned about this matter, Google support and Gemini AI seemed unaware of the exact circumstances. Or maybe they’re just not ready to admit their mistake yet? Gemini claimed that privacy settings should be easily available, but they were not. This might mean either an AI “hallucination (lying)” or an internal problem with the system.

Eventually, Bankston found the settings toggle, and along with that, he also found Gemini summaries for Gmail, Drive, and Docs were already disabled. The settings, however, were in an entirely different location than where the Gemini’s bot had indicated.

Google Gemini Prompts

On the other hand, he added that this problem occurred only in Google Drive, not in other places. And the problem started when he pressed the Gemini button on at least one document. So Bankston thinks this problem might be due to a setting (Google Workspace Labs) he turned on in 2023, which is now messing up how Gemini is supposed to work.

A Wake-Up Call for Privacy in AI Technology

While this may (or may not) limit the issue to Workspace Labs users, it represents a severe privacy breach for those who helped test Google’s latest technology. This incident highlights the critical importance of user consent, especially regarding sensitive information.

Google’s failure to maintain its control over data access for even a segment of its user base is a major mistake. Especially because Google is such a big and important company and because people are worried about how quickly and aggressively AI is becoming a part of our lives.

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 with a new look arrives in Nepal

Samsung recently launched its latest foldable and other accessories to the international market. Now, these products have made their way to Nepal too! Among the new batch of products are two new earbuds with a design overhaul, high-quality codec, and Galaxy AI integration. In this article, we will discuss the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 in further detail including its price in Nepal.

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Overview

Design and Audio

We had already gotten a wind that the new Samsung earbuds would adopt a stemmed design. And adopt they did! The new Samsung Galaxy Buds3 come with stems that are rather cuboid than cylindrical. Likewise, they have a semi in-ear fitting and optimise the sound output based on your ear shape and wearing habits. Meanwhile, the charging case of these earbuds is quite unique too. Samsung calls it an “Open-type” design highlighting the transparent lid of the case. These buds also boast an IP57 rating while the whole package ships in Silver, and White colour options.

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Design

Inside the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 packs an 11mm speaker unit capable of delivering dynamic sound. They also have three microphones on each side working in tandem for audio reception while also analysing the ambient sound for noise cancellation. Yep, these earbuds have ANC but lack any sort of Ambient mode. Additionally, Samsung has powered these buds with its in-house Seamless Codec capable of encoding up to 24bit / 96kHz audio. Similarly, these buds offer 360 audio when paired with select Samsung smartphones, tablets, and TVs.

Features and the rest

One of the key features of the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 is the Galaxy AI integration. While the AI helping out with ANC and EQ is there, it also does other kinds of stuff. Like, the Interpreter feature seamlessly works on these buds in coordination with your Galaxy smartphone. You can control these earbuds through touch as well as voice. Additionally, they also have some ecosystem features. For instance, Auto Switch allows you to pair and use these earbuds on Samsung phones and laptops simultaneously. Likewise, you also get Aurcast and Samsung Find on these earbuds.

Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Voice Controls

To do what it does, the Samsung Galaxy Buds3 relies on Bluetooth v5.4 to maintain connection with your smartphone. In terms of battery, these wireless buds pack a 48 mAh cell on each side and a 515 mAh unit in its charging case. With this, they offer up to 6 hours of independent and 30 hours of combined playtime when ANC is turned off. When you turn on the noise cancellation, the battery life drops to five hours and a day’s worth respectively. Lastly, they can be charged through USB Type-C and wirelessly too.

Verdict

The major wow factor on both of these phones is that they have the powerful A11 Bionic processor which is the fastest processor from Apple and has been optimized for Augmented Reality (AR). Also, the 12-megapixel f/1.8 primary camera in the iPhone 8 and the dual 12-megapixel primary camera in the iPhone 8 Plus both have a Dxomark rating of 94 which makes them the best camera phones that you can buy in Nepal. The cameras also offer the latest portrait lighting mode. 

The display on these new models supports Apple’s True Tone feature, which adjusts the screen’s appearance and color temperature so that it always looks pleasant and less blue/harsh to your eyes in a variety of lighting environments. Another key factor in both of these models is that they come with a glass back that supports wireless charging. Fast charging mode is also supported on them but one will have to buy a special fast-charging adapter: Apple’s $49 29W USB-C along with a $25 USB-C-to-Lightning power cable. However, much cannot be said about the design and build of these two models as they have pretty outdated designs.

However, the catch here is that it has been quite some time since these products were released in the global market. Also, Apple has already released it’s latest offering: iPhone X which lies on the expensive side of the scale ($999 for the 64GB model and $1,149 for 256GB) but also has topped the game of iPhones that have been released till date. So now, will you go for the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus or wait for the iPhone X to hit the floors? Let us know about that in the comments below!


OnePlus Watch 2R launched — it comes with dual processors as well!

OnePlus Watch 2 made its way to Nepal about a week ago. Meanwhile, the company has outed yet another smartwatch to the international market. In this article, we will discuss the fresh out-of-factory OnePlus Watch 2R in further detail while also estimating the price it might launch in Nepal.

OnePlus Watch 2R Overview

Design and Display

One of the major differentiating factors between the OnePlus Watch 2 and Watch 2R is their designs. While the former comes with a rather odd-looking protrusion on the right, the latter takes a more traditional and neutral approach. While the previous OnePlus smartwatch was an absolute unit weighing a total of 80 grams with its steel body. The OnePlus 2R is much lighter at 59 grams courtesy of its aluminium alloy build. In the meantime, it gives up on the MIL-STD-810H military certifications but keeps the IP68 and ATM5 ratings.

On the front, you get the same AMOLED panel measuring 1.43 inches and stretching 466 x 466 pixels in resolution. It also offers a peak brightness of up to 1,000 nits and is protected by 2D glass layering. In the meantime, the OnePlus Watch 2R is available in Forest Green and Gunmetal Grey colour options. You get silicone straps with this watch by default, however, you can swap it out for another 22mm with other material options.

Performance and Features

OnePlus surprised the world with its decision to feature dual-processors on the Watch 2. And they are continuing the trend. Meaning, the OnePlus Watch 2R also comes with both the Snapdragon W5 Gen 1 and the BES2700BP processors under its hood. It is also equipped with two operating systems — Wear OS 4 and RTOS. This unique setup allows the watch to be energy-efficient as well as feature-rich. Additional hardware on this thing includes 2GB memory and 32GB storage.

OnePlus Watch 2R GPS

Talking of the features, the OnePlus Watch 2R comes with Bluetooth v5.0 and allows you to make and receive calls. You also get dual-band WiFi and NFC support on this watch. Similarly, the fitness tracking on this thing is no sleeper either — thanks to the seven different types of sensors it is equipped with. To add accuracy to all the tracking, this watch comes with a dual-frequency five-way navigation system. While it can do all the regular stuff like sleep, heart rate, and blood oxygen monitoring, it also offers over 100 sports modes, out of which it can auto-detect six modes. To keep all the things running, the OnePlus Watch 2R packs a 500mAh battery that can last you about four days on regular usage.

How to deactivate a Facebook account?

Facebook is the largest social media in the world with over three billion monthly active users. You too likely have a Facebook account — in fact — you might have multiple accounts that you don’t really use. And because of that, or for any other reason, you are looking to deactivate your Facebook account? Here is how you do so!

How to deactivate a Facebook account?

What is deactivating?

Firstly, let’s understand, what is deactivating an account. Well, it’s pretty much self-explanatory. It’s making your account inactive or dormant. Why would you do it? Normally, it is to take a break from the platform. Say, you want a hiatus from Facebook, but you know you’ll use your account in the future. You simply deactivate your account.

Deactivated Account

But, people do deactivate their Facebook accounts for a variety of reasons. Be it to pretend that they are studying for their exams or going through a break-up. You know the drill, it’s a national meme at this point. Anyhoo, there are some benefits to deactivating your account instead of deleting it.

Advantages of deactivating Facebook

  1. You can easily reaccess your account when you change your mind
  2. You can still use Messenger normally even though your Facebook is deactivated

So how to?

Facebook generates its revenue through you, so it obviously does not want you off its platform. Which is why, they often complicate the process to demotivate you from doing so. They even switch up the process every now and then to throw you off. But, here is how to deactivate a Facebook account:

  1. Tap the burger icon (≡) or your profile picture on the top right of Facebook
  2. Go to Settings & Privacy
  3. Click on Settings
  4. Tap on the Accounts Centre
  5. Go to Personal details
  6. Click on Account ownership and control
  7. Select Deactivation or deletion
  8. Choose the account you want to reactive
  9. Select Deactivate account then Continue
  10. Enter your Password
  11. Select a reason for your decision
  12. Choose when to reactivate your account then Continue
  13. Select Deactivate my account
  14. Done!

Quite a long and unnecessarily complicated process, I know. Again, as I mentioned earlier, Facebook wants you to stay on its platform, so that it can sell ads, and generate revenue. Regardless of how complicated it is to deactivate a Facebook account, reactivating is one simple step.

How to reactivate a Facebook account?

  1. Just Log In using your ID and Password. That’s it!
