The battery is one of the component that gets degraded very quickly in the electronic devices. Some of the mobile phones are providing the battery protection which limits the charging once the battery reaches 85%. This is because the last 15% takes more effort to charge and will reduce the battery life. When coming to the case of laptop, if you usually plug it in while working, then the battery will tend to reach 100% and then stop the charging. So, if the battery charge is 90% and then you plug in, it will charge to 100%. If you don't usually need to work on a battery, we can avoid this charging by limiting the charging until the battery is discharged to a particular level. In the Dell Laptop, the Dell Power app helps in achieving this.

 The NextGen mParivahan app by NIC is a great companion so we don't need to carry the Registration Certificate and Driving License with us. In addition, we can share the RC that we own to another user for a period of time. A user can add a Virtual Driving License and can use it as a valid document. But the usability issue is when trying to add a Virtual Driving License. The Date of Birth needs to be selected. Clicking on this field brings up a calendar in which a date can be selected.  This is a great inconvenience and this can be improved if the developers have considered the following points. Nobody can get a driving license in India before the age of 18. So, there is no need to default to the current date. There are still lot of citizens who are born before 1960 and does have a valid DL. These old people will need to scroll all the way back to 60 years (60 x 12 = 720 clicks!) to reach at their DOB. Instead of this calendar, they must have chosen a calendar which can select...

There is a slowdown in the automobile sector and the sales did not boost up during the festival season 2019. Even with the government providing stimulus, the car sales didn't pick up. There is another news about "Amazon.in sells Rs 750 cr worth of premium smartphones; Flipkart sees 2X growth on day 1" ( source ). Well that is a whopping 750 crore just for the premium smartphone by one seller in one day. And the total sales would be very much higher this festive season. So, can we consider the slow down in automobile sector as a sign of an economic slowdown?

The iOS 13.1 was released recently and using the iPhone for a while makes it build temperature to the  area near the camera. This is the area where the microprocessor A10 chip is located. So while it means the processor is working hard doing regular jobs, it is noted that the phone is heating up when the dark mode is enabled. Using the phone with normal mode doesn’t appear to heat it too much. I am monitoring the issue and will post an update soon. *** UPDATE After each update, most of the apps needs to be configured on first use. So, immediately after the update the apps will take more processing power to configure. After that things will return to normal.

Apple have removed the 3D touch feature from iOS 13 as earlier rumored. To delete an app we had to long press the app and all the apps start wiggling in the screen with a (x) mark to the top end of the icon. Clicking the icon will uninstall the app. Now, long pressing the app does not make the apps wiggle in iOS 13. So how do you delete an app? The feature is moved to the menu that opens when you long press the app. It is renamed to 'Rearrange Apps'. When you click 'Rearrange Apps' the apps starts to wiggle and an (x) mark show to the right top section of all apps those can be deleted.

L.E.D bulbs are unquestionably a revolutionary product that can save electricity compared to the incandescent bulbs. The LED bulbs have long life compared to their incandescent counter parts and also consume less electricity. The LED bulbs that are available from stores have a life of approximately 5 years on 8 hours of daily use and the companies give 1 or 2 years replacement guarantee. Now comes the problem. The incandescent bulbs have zero percent plastic, but LEDs are almost completely made of plastic. When they expire they are also contributing to the landfill and will create big problems. They have electronic components that are also dangerous when damaged. So, when touting LEDs as a big saver, the companies should also have the responsibility to take back the expired ones and recycle properly instead of going to land fill. The big benefit is that most LEDs may have only one or two components damaged. So, they can replace the component on very low cost and sell the refurbishe...

TLS 1.0 support is being dropped by more and more platforms. If you are using your Railo / Lucee server to communicate with the service that have dropped the support using TLS 1.0, the request will not be honored. Here are the steps to have your Railo/Lucee server to use Java 1.8 instead of 1.7 and avoid this error. First verify the version of Java that your Railo Server is using. Go to Server Admin and check the version of Java used by Railo server. Instead of the 1.8.xx as show in the screenshot it will be 1.7.xx So, we need to install JDK 1.8 if not yet installed in the machine. Install JDK 1.8. 32/64 bit according to your server OS. Open Railo-Tomcat Service Control. Stop Railo. In the Java tab, give the jvm of the newly installed JDK. Something like C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_121\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll. Restart Railo. Check the version of Java used in Railo Server Admin, it will be 1.8. Now your requests to the server will be TLS 1.2 and they will be ...

After 100 days of demonetization, the chaos surrounding the shortage of currency has subsided. Banks and ATMs are honoring customer's currency requests better. Indeed the demonetization is publicized as a war on black money, but it is not the only aim. Because the government is well aware that this step alone will not help in finding the assets stashed as property and other means. Also, as anyone might expect, new fake currency notes are already in circulation. So, what could be the motive for demonetization? To force citizens to use digital currency to make them accountable to Tax. To force citizens to keep their money in the bank so that the Central Bank can "Overcome the Zero Lower Bound" on the negative interest rates . Reduce cost of printing and circulating money. This may not be a welcome move regarding Indian Citizens who are already fed up due to multitude of tax and bribing by officials and politicians. By promoting digital currency, the government...
