Nepal government’s e-learning portal updated with Grade 11 and 12’s resources

Ever since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, our educational system has slowly been adapting to e-learning. To help students with this transition, the Government of Nepal (GoN) introduced its e-learning portal called “Sikai Chautari” with a school-level curriculum. And it’s now expanding to cover the curriculums of classes 11 and 12 as well. In this post, we will be discussing the Sikai Chautari e-learning portal in more detail.

Sikai Chautari: e-learning portal by GoN

Sikai Chautari was developed by the Centre for Education and Human Resources Development (CEHRD), which falls under the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technology. In its initial stage, you could only access learning resources for up to class 10. With the latest update, Sikai Chautari also includes English, Nepali, and Social Studies curriculums of grades 11 and 12.

To note, these three are the only compulsory subjects under the new curriculum, hence the priority. CEHRD eventually plans to add all the other optional subjects too. However, it is bound to take some time as the number of optional subjects in classes 11 and 12 is quite enormous.

How to use Sikai Chautari?

You can visit Sikai Chautari by going to clicking on this link. The homepage consists of a three-level menu. On the first row, there are 12 buttons labeled 1 to 12, each representing the respective class. Here, one needs to select the class that they are in. The second row reveals all the lessons and topics available in the selected class, grouped by the subject.

The last row contains additional features such as a library full of additional resources, a dictionary, a calculator, and even games. There is an option to switch between English and Nepali as well.

Not responsive enough

Sikai Chautari worked fine when I accessed it on my laptop. Sadly, I couldn’t get the same experience when using a phone. The website lacks proper optimization for smaller displays. This really hurts the purpose of the platform since most Nepali students rely on their smartphones—as desktops or laptops are still far less accessible, especially in remote areas.

Walmart now uses driverless trucks to deliver goods to its store

Walmart, the US-based multinational retail chain, has started carrying shipments using fully driverless delivery trucks. These autonomous vehicles are designed by Gatik, which has been working with Walmart for around 2 years. In this post, we will be discussing the Walmart-Gartik driverless trucks in more detail.

Walmart starts delivery via driverless trucks

For starters, Walmart has been using self-driving trucks for its shipments since 2019. The trucks designed by Gatik were used to deliver shipments from a warehouse to a neighboring retail outlet in Bentonville (Arkansas). But previously, these trucks used to have a human safety driver at their disposal.

After studying the route for almost 2 years, the two companies started deploying completely autonomous driverless trucks without any safety driver back in August. This makes Gatik the first company to operate a fully driverless truck on a commercial route. Currently, there are two trucks delivering goods over a 7-mile route 12 times a day.

Gatik self driving vehicle technology

Here, the company has designed the trucks to prioritize conservative routes over the direct ones to reduce the risk of accidents. As a result, these trucks do not take unprotected turns and make lane changes.

Gatik

Gatik was founded in 2017 by autonomous technology experts. It specializes in middle mile delivery, which means the delivery of goods between warehouse/distribution centers to fulfillment facilities. The company doesn’t plan to develop ride-hailing autonomous vehicles until 2027. It believes that lifting goods is both easier and economical than lifting people.

Gatik self autonomous delivery truck

The future

It’s not clear if Walmart and Gatik are planning to expand the service to other routes. Both companies have remained silent on this matter.

In other news, Gatik already has competition in the form of Cruise LLC. Cruise has been into research and development of self-driving cars since 2013. The company has already obtained permission to operate driverless cargo in some parts of California as well. It even plans to operate driverless taxis from next year.

OnePlus Nord 2 explosion leaves one with severe burns in India

OnePlus Nord 2 has been among the most exciting premium mid-range phones of 2021. That being said, it has also been a subject of several controversies as there have been several reports of the phone exploding. Another such case has emerged in India in which a Nord 2 has exploded and even caused physical harm to the user. In this article, we will deep dive into this story, while also discussing other cases of the OnePlus Nord 2 explosion.

Latest OnePlus Nord 2 Explosion in India

The latest incident of a Nord 2 explosion has taken place in India. It was first reported on November 3 by Suhit Sharma via his Twitter handle. The tweet even contains pictures to back up the claim.

As evident by the photos, the phone seems to have caught fire from the rear bottom left, thoroughly damaging the corresponding frame. The explosion has even damaged the transparent case that was on the phone.

What makes it worse is that the phone was in the owner’s pocket when it exploded. This has caused severe burns to the owner’s thigh with the skin being peeled off. It has left dark burnt marks as well.

The public reaction

The tweet has caught the attention of a lot of people, including some popular Indian tech YouTubers. This has even caused fear among other Nord 2 users, many of whom are complaining about the heating issue of the phone. Some have even demanded OnePlus discontinue the phone and recall all the sold models.

Response from OnePlus

OnePlus is yet to make an official public statement acknowledging the incident. But the company is already in touch with Suhit Sharma for further investigation. The following statement was provided to 91mobiles when they reached out to OnePlus over the matter.

“We take such incidents seriously. Our team has already reached out to the user and we are in the process of collecting the details to investigate this further.”

Past incidents of OnePlus Nord 2 explosion

It’s important to note that this is not the first time the Nord 2 has been reported to explode. There have been at least two other similar claims, one of which was flagged fake when the user deleted his tweet once it got mainstream attention. In the other incident, OnePlus eventually sent a cease-and-desist letter to the victim, claiming that the victim refused to co-operate in the investigation.

There was also a case of Nord 2’s 65W Warp Charger exploding in which OnePlus readily offered a replacement charger to the user. The cause of the explosion was “fluctuating external voltage” according to the company.

CG Net introduces 50Mbps “Super Sasto Package” for just Rs. 649 per month

CG Net introduces 50Mbps “Super Sasto Package” for just Rs. 649 per month

After disrupting the Nepali ISP market with its introductory 120Mbps internet, CG Net has now introduced a cost-effective 50Mbps plan. In this article, we will be discussing the new 50Mbps “Super Sasto Package” internet plan from CG Net along with its price, duration, availability, and fair usage policy.

CG Net 50Mbps “Super Sasto Package”

Ever since CG Net initiated its services with its 120Mbps internet, other ISPs have announced even higher bandwidth plans. This includes Subisu’s 150Mbps and Worldlink’s 300Mbps packages. However, not everyone needs such high bandwidth internet, and many users expressed their preference for affordable low bandwidth internet plans instead.

And it certainly seems like CG Net is catering to such users with this. Here, you have the flexibility to subscribe to monthly, tri-monthly, half-yearly, or yearly plans of its 50Mbps internet. The price is set to Rs. 649 per month, irrespective of the duration you sign up for.

Currently, only a few major ISPs like Classic Tech are providing 50Mbps internet for home users. Still, CG Net’s 50Mbps plan undercuts most of the competition’s 40 and even 60Mbps packages. We have prepared the following table for a more detailed comparison.

CG Net Worldlink (Dashain Offer) Vianet (Dashain Offer)
50Mbps 40Mbps 60Mbps 40Mbps 60Mbps
1 month Rs. 649 Rs. 1,850 Rs. 2,200 Rs. 1,850 Rs. 2,250
3 months Rs. 1,947 Rs. 5,450 Rs. 6,450 Rs. 5,400 Rs. 6,600
6 months Rs. 3,894 Rs. 7,900 Rs. 8,600 N/A N/A
12 months Rs. 7,788 Rs. 13,200 Rs. 14,400 Rs. 13,200 Rs. 15,000
Extras N/A Free NetTV, Wi-Fi Mobility Free ViaTV

Note: These prices are exclusive of 13% VAT.

One-time charge

Furthermore, you won’t have to pay installation and drop wire charges if you subscribe to CG Net. However, the company does levy charges on the router and refundable deposits. You will also have to pay extra if you want a dual-band router.

1 Month 3 Months 6 Months 12 Months
Installation Charge Free
Drop Wire Charge Free
Single Band Router Rs. 2,500 Rs. 2,000 Rs. 1,500 Free
Dual Band Router Rs. 3,500 Rs. 3,000 Rs. 2,500 Rs. 2,000
Refundable Deposit Rs. 500

Fair Usage Policy (FUP)

Compared to the standard 120Mbps plan, CG Net’s 50Mbps Super Sasto Package has a lower data usage quota for Fair Usage Policy (FUP). You can enjoy the original bandwidth of 50Mbps as long as you are within the 1300 GB quota. If you pass the 1300 GB mark, the internet speed will be reduced based on the additional bandwidth volume you consume. Here’s a brief look at it:

FUP Level Data Usage Quota FUP Speed Policy
Original data bandwidth Up to 1300 GB 50Mbps (original speed)
Level 1 1300 – 1400 GB 50% of original speed
Level 2 1400 – 1500 GB 30% of original speed
Level 3 Upwards of 1500 GB 10% of original speed

CG Net 50Mbps: Coverage, Limitations

CG Net certainly has super cheap internet plans, but the problem is that the company hasn’t been able to offer its service throughout the country. It has expanded to several new locations since its establishment around the Kathmandu valley, but that’s still incomparable to the coverage of other major ISPs in Nepal.

You can inquire about CG Net installation by visiting this link. In addition, most ISPs also bundle IPTV services with their internet plans, while CG Net doesn’t. But the company has already laid the groundwork to introduce IPTV and video OTT services with its partnership with Indian telco giant Airtel.

Xiaomi announces Loop LiquidCool Technology with 2x better heat dissipation

Xiaomi announces Loop LiquidCool Technology with 2x better heat dissipation

Xiaomi has recently announced “Loop LiquidCool Technology” for high-end smartphones. It is inspired by cooling solutions from the aerospace industry and is reportedly twice as capable as a conventional vapor chamber-based cooling system. So, let’s learn more about it here.

Xiaomi Loop LiquidCool Technology Overview:

Over the years, mobile chipsets are getting a substantial performance boost.

But with great power, comes great heat dissipation.

We’ve seen smartphones like OnePlus 9 Pro overheat to a harsh degree. As a result, the demand for improved cooling technologies is more than just a necessity.

Working mechanism

Xiaomi’s new Loop LiquidCool technology includes a heat pipe made of an evaporator, a condenser, a refill chamber, and gas and liquid pipes. The heating solution when placed at the heat source evaporates the liquid (refrigerant) inside the evaporator. The hot gas then flows down the pipe to the condenser, where it condenses back into liquid.

Xiaomi Loop LiquidCool Technology - Architecture

Moving on, the condensed liquid is absorbed and collected by the tiny fibers in the refill chambers and the evaporator is replenished—making it an independent system.

What makes it distinct from the conventional cooling methods is that it does not allow the mixing of hot gas and cool liquid. Similarly, its ring-shaped pump has a specific gas pipe design that minimizes airway resistance by 30%; whereas the heat transfer capacity increases by up to 100%.

Old is gold

Despite the new architecture, the Loop LiquidCool system employs the Tesla Valve structure within the refill chamber. The valve allows the gas to flow to its intended direction and also improves gas/liquid circulation throughout the system.

Tesla Valve

Xiaomi also claims that this technology can be modified to any sort of interior design in order to accommodate more components. A square-shaped loop, for example, provides extra space for the battery, camera module, and other components.

Test

Xiaomi Mix 4 Test

Furthermore, the company has put the Loop LiquidCool technology to the test in a customized Xiaomi Mix 4. With this, a 30-minute session of Genshin Impact at 60fps (highest video settings) resulted in a maximum temperature reading of 47.4ºC. To compare, the Snapdragon 888 powering this phone was 8.6ºC cooler than on the standard Mix 4.

Xiaomi Loop LiquidCool Technology: Availability

According to Xiaomi, Loop LiquidCool Technology will make its debut in Xiaomi devices in the second half of 2022.

WhatsApp now allows multi-device login without having your phone online

WhatsApp has released an update that allows users to access the service on multiple devices without requiring your phone to be connected to the internet. Let’s find out more about the WhatsApp multi-device access feature without a smartphone in this article.

WhatsApp Multi-device Access Overview:

Previously, WhatsApp required your primary smartphone to be online even if you wanted to continue the conversation on your web browser or desktop application. However, you can now send and receive messages no matter if your primary device is online or not.

The feature is officially rolling out to all users on both Android and iOS platforms with the new update. With this, users can now use WhatsApp on up to 4 devices at the same time.

How to join?

Before moving forward, do note that this feature is still in the “beta” phase and may contain some issues for the time being. Nonetheless, linking a new device to your account is pretty easy. 

  1. First, click on the three dots on the top-right. 
  2. Then, head to the “Linked devices” option and select “Multi-device beta”. 
  3. Finally, click on “Join beta” which will enable multi-device access to your WhatsApp account.

After completing all these steps, you can link the desktop or web version of WhatsApp by clicking on the link a device button and scanning the QR code. Still, you can’t link it to a secondary smartphone or tablet for now.

Furthermore, paired devices will be able to send and receive messages for up to 14 days even after the primary smartphone goes offline. Likewise, the messages and phone calls still remain end-to-end encrypted. But a constraint in iOS devices prevents you from deleting messages from a linked device.

WhatsApp Multi-device Access: Availability

As aforementioned, the feature is now available to WhatsApp users all over the world with the latest update. So, make sure you have the latest version of the app to enjoy this feature.
