Ripple’s Artifact is a customizable laptop from the Nepali OEM brand

New smartphone brands are frequently entering the Nepali market. Now, Ripple, a Nepal-based OEM has introduced a laptop in the domestic market. And the best thing about it is that it’s fully customizable. So, let’s take a closer look at the Ripple Artifact including its specs, features, availability, and price in Nepal.

Ripple Artifact Overview:

The Ripple Artifact is the company’s first laptop that is available in Nepal. Like I mentioned earlier, Ripple is a Nepali company that assembles various parts of a computer to create a new product. The newly released Ripple Artifact features an Intel Core i5-10300H processor and GTX 1650 Ti graphics card.

In terms of screen size, it has a 15.6-inch IPS display with FHD resolution. You also get a screen with a refresh rate of 144Hz. The dimensions of the laptop are 359.5 x 238 x 21.9mm, and it weighs 1.85 kg.

Ripple Artifact gaming laptop design

You can also choose between Windows and Linux as your operating system. In terms of memory, there is 8GB DDR4 RAM (@2666 MHz) and a 256GB M.2 PCIe NVMe solid-state drive. This laptop has a 49 Wh battery. More intriguingly, you have the choice of upgrading or downgrading the device. That is, you can tailor the laptop to your specific requirements. Ripple has already mentioned that the laptop can be customized, and there is an option to configure the processor as well.

Ripple Artifact Specifications:

  • CPU: Intel Core i5-10300H
  • GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti
  • Display: 15.6-inch FHD 144Hz (1920×1080)
  • Body: 359.5 x 238 x 21.9mm, 1.85 kg
  • Battery: 49 Wh cell
  • OS: Genuine Windows 10 Professional / Linux
  • RAM: 8GB DDR4-2666 (upgradeable)

    **The laptop is fully customizable including processors.

Ripple Artifact Price in Nepal & Availability

I’m sure we’re all waiting to hear the price of the laptop. The Ripple Artifact is priced at NPR 1,20,000 for the standard version. However, there could be a price gap depending on the upgrades and downgrades. Ripple Artifact may be ordered by contacting them via their Facebook page.

Laptop Model Price in Nepal Availability
Ripple Artifact NPR 1,20,000 (Standard Variant) Ripple

Can it compete against others?

As aforementioned, the laptop market in Nepal is dominated by multiple international brands. However, one thing that it’s missing is a new player in the industry. You can see how Chinese smartphone companies were able to gain the trust of tech enthusiasts all over the world; mainly because they were able to come up with comparatively affordable products with a feature set to match.

Starting a business necessitates a lot of determination and skill in order to achieve success. Ripple has stated that they are offering less costly alternatives to products with comparable specifications. And, if it continues to sell laptops at a reasonable price, I believe Ripple will definitely succeed in the Nepali market.

Apple targeted in $50 million ransomware attack by Russian hackers

Apple hosted its Spring Loaded event a couple of days ago, where it launched new iPad Pros, an upgraded iMac, an updated Apple 4K TV, and the long-awaited AirTag. Following the launch, Russian hackers targeted Quanta Computer, a Taiwanese corporation that assembles official Apple products based on pre-supplied product designs and schematics. After breaching Quanta Computer, the hackers have access to Apple product data. Let’s take a closer look at the ransomware attack on an Apple supplier.

Apple supplier under ransomware attack

The Record was the first to report the breach. REvil (a Russian hacker group) is the one to hack the servers. According to The Record, the operators of the REvil ransomware are insisting Quanta pay a ransom amount. Otherwise, they threaten to leak all confidential information on the dark web.

According to the REvil gang, Quanta declined to pay to recover its stolen data. As a result, they have decided to threaten the company’s primary client. Quanta Computer manages a wide range of global products, including HP, Dell, Microsoft, Toshiba, LG, Lenovo, and several others. To be clear, the hacker group has access to Apple’s existing and potential products’ schematics.

The demand

The group reportedly requested $50 million in order to keep the schematics private. After Quanta opted not to pay the ransomware money, the group began publishing the stolen photos on April 20, which coincided with the Apple spring load event for maximum exposure.

REvil Quanta Threat
Image Source: The Record

REvil is now directly targeting Apple, attempting to get the tech giant to pay up by May 1; and threatens to post new images from the leak every day until then. Moreover, Quanta has made the confirmation on its servers being breached. Although Apple has yet to reply, the leaked picture contains schematics for MacBooks. The leaked image isn’t much sensitive and only contains the data related to assembly information and technical specifications.

To be certain, the design shared by REvil contains information related to the new product, giving credence to the fact that the documents are appropriate.

Instagram launches DM filter against hate speech and bullying

Instagram is one of the world’s largest social media platforms. And that accomplishment doesn’t come with its fair share of those who abuse the platform. As is well known, the company deals with accusations of hate speech and bullying, and they are regularly introducing new features to control it. Instagram has again devised a way to regulate it by filtering all messages that you believe are inappropriate. So, let’s take a closer look at the latest Instagram abusive DM filter functionality.

Instagram DM Filter Overview:

The new update is intended to protect users from abusive direct messages (DMs). Instagram will soon roll out the filters for DMs, which allows users to personalize their DMs by hiding abusive terms. Then, Instagram will hide all of these messages from the DMs of users.

Instagram also shared in a blog that they’ve worked with leading anti-discrimination and anti-bullying organizations to create a predefined list of derogatory words that will be filtered from DM requests when the feature is activated. The new DM request filter would work similarly to the existing comment filters.

Instagram permanent user block feature

The next step here is to permanently block the user. This makes it more difficult for someone to contact you again through a new account. If you wish to block someone on Instagram, then this feature allows you to preemptively block new accounts that an individual can create.

How does it work?

This feature will allow users to choose a list of words, phrases, or emojis that they want to filter out of DM requests. Instagram adds that the filtering of all messages is done on your own device. It ensures that no message material can be sent back to their servers. The content of a DM request isn’t shared till you report a specific account.

Instagram will begin rolling out the function in a few countries over the next few weeks, with plans to extend to more countries over the next few months. For those who want to use the function, go to Settings > Privacy > Hidden Words, after the service is available in your region.

Oppo Enco Buds Overview:

They include features like intelligent call noise cancellation, automatic connections, etc. Here, the latter only works with phones running on ColorOS 11.0 or above. A single earbud is 22.2 x 19.6 x 22.7mm in size, and the charging case measures 67.0 x 40.4 x 27.2mm. The buds are also light, weighing just 4g each.

Realme 8 5G announced with Dimensity 700, 90Hz LCD screen

Just a month after the launch of the Realme 8, the company has announced the 5G variant of the device. In this post, we will be taking a look at the specs, features, expected price, and availability of Realme 8 5G in Nepal.

Realme 8 5G Overview:

To note, Realme 8 5G is a rebrand of Realme V13 5G which was launched in China about a month ago. While the V13 has an 8MP selfie camera, this one brings a 16MP sensor instead.

Design and Display

The phone features a 6.5-inch FHD+ panel with support for a 90Hz refresh rate. Unfortunately, Realme has used an LCD panel here. Therefore, the fingerprint scanner has also been shifted from under the screen to the side. The display has a left-aligned circular cutout for the selfie camera. Realme also claims maximum brightness of up to 600 nits and a screen-to-body ratio of 90.5% on this phone.

Realme 8 5G Supersonic Blue

Realme 8 5G is 8.5mm thick and weighs around 185 grams. The rear panel is based on high-gloss indium plating which the company claims provides extra shine to it. Many will be glad to know that there is no “Dare To Leap” branding on the 5G variant. There are two colors to choose from here – Supersonic Blue and Supersonic Black.

Performance and Memory

Powering the Realme 8 5G is Dimensity 700 which features two Cortex-A76 cores (@ 2.2GHz) and six Cortex-A55 cores (@ 2.0GHz). It is based on TSMC’s 7nm process that makes it more energy-efficient than the Helio G95 on the 4G variant. It also supports 5G connectivity and hence boasts up to 2.77Gbps of peak download speed.

MediaTek Dimensity 700

The phone comes in two RAM variants – 4GB and 8GB. Both come with 128GB of UFS 2.1 internal storage. It can be expanded up to 1TB using an external microSD card. Realme has also introduced Dynamic RAM Expansion (DRE) technology that lets the phone use a certain portion of internal storage as RAM. With this, you can increase Realme 8 5G’s RAM to 5GB and 11GB depending upon the variant.

Camera

Coming to the camera, Realme has made a lot of compromises here. First, the primary camera has been downgraded to 48MP from 64MP on the 4G variant. Similarly, there is no ultrawide lens here. Instead, what you get is a macro sensor and a Black and White sensor. Plus, there is no 4K recording either. The highest you can go with the rear camera is 1080p/30 fps.

Realme 8 5G Camera Setup

On the front, there is a 16MP selfie camera enclosed within the punch-hole cutout. It also maxes out at 1080p/30fps video recording.

Rest of the specs

Realme 8 5G gets its juice from a 5,000mAh. The company claims that one can get up to 114 hours of music time on a full charge with this device. The charging speed has also been reduced from 30W on the 4G variant to just 18W here. The phone ships with Realme UI 2.0 based on Android 11 out-of-the-box.

  • Display: 6.5-inch LCD panel, 90.5% screen to body ratio, 90Hz refresh rate
