    Apple’s new App Tracking Transparency feature has finally rolled out for iPhone and iPad users via the iOS 14.5 update. The new features prevent companies like Facebook, Google or other apps that use your personal data for serving targeted advertisements. The new feature is a big deal as it directly impacts the business models of giants like Facebook, Google and other apps that rely on advertisement revenue.

    While this feature was unveiled last year at WWDC, it finally made its way to users earlier this week. Apple has switched to IDFA (“Identifier of Advertising”) replacing the previous Unique Device Identifier that was used by websites and apps to track for targeted ads. Now, Apple is giving more control to iPhone/iPad users who want to limit ad tracking on certain apps or all apps they use on personal devices. 

    How To Stop App Tracking in iOS 14.5  © Apple
    In order to use the App Tracking Transparency feature, you need to first update your iPhone or iPad to iOS 14.5. You can update your OS by going to Settings > General > Software update. Once you’ve downloaded and installed the latest update, you can head to Settings > Privacy > Tracking.  

    You can now disable “Allow Apps To Request to Track” if you don’t want any of your installed apps to track you. However, if you wish to grant certain apps to track you, you will need to leave the feature on. Each time you download a new app, you will get a pop-up notification asking whether you want to give it permission to track your activity across other companies. You can also manage specific apps that can track you from the Privacy menu if you want more control on which apps should be allowed to track you.

    When made properly, and shot beautifully, action movies especially those about assassins and hitmen can be pretty awesome. Want an example? Just take a look at how the John Wick series did at the box office, and on streaming services

    While action films in general work well if they are shot beautifully, movies about hitmen and assassins are just a little bit tricky.

    We take a look at a few movies that revolve around assassins and hitmen, which redefined the genre, and are great fun to watch.

    No Country For Old Men


    No Country For Old Men doesn’t have those physical action sequences that we normally associate with an action flick. However, the action is more explosive, very realistic. It challenged the audience to pay attention and put things together. That is why it is fun to watch, as well as genre defining. And if that wasn’t enough, it won a bunch of Oscars.
    The Bourne Identity & The Bourne Ultimatum
    While all of the Jason Bourne films are great fun to watch, and proper, edge-of-the-seat action flicks, the Bourne Identity and the Bourne Ultimatum are just a little bit special. Even if you don’t watch the entire series of films, you simply cannot afford to miss these two.
    John Wick Series
    There are a ton of things to enjoy in all three John Wick films. Apart from Keanu Reeves’ performance, we also get a very intricately made story, tons of details, and some of the most beautiful action choreography. Also, as opposed to most films in Bollywood and Hollywood, the action sequences, especially regarding guns, is very accurate. We highly recommend you watch all three, and in order, John Wick, John Wick: Chapter 2, & John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum.
    Assassin’s Creed
    This is more of your regular, physical, super explosive, great CGI action flick. The story is also great if you’re aware of the Assassin’s Creed video game series. But more than anything else, it is the visuals of the film that bind you. This is one of the best films to have been shot in 2016.
    Leon The Professional
    Remember Bobby Deol & Rani Mukherjee-starer Bichhoo? This is the film that inspired it and trust us, it is far, far better than the Hindi remake. The action sequences are much better, and the gunfights are way more interesting. Plus, you don’t see that forced romantic connection that Bollywood movies just can’t seem to survive without.
    Agent 47
    The movie Hitman was a disaster, although it had great potential. Agent 47 was an attempt to reintroduce the character. The film has some truly breathtaking action sequences, and some ingenious shootout and gunfight sequences. This is a properly entertaining and fun watch, if you ask us.
    The Bottom line…We’re pretty sure that most of you have seen some film or the other about assassins. Trust us when we say that these are some of the films on hitmen that you simply can’t miss. 
    Think that we missed out a movie that should be on the list? Do let us know in the comments below.

    There are workplaces that truly exploit their employees, and then there are workplaces that set the benchmarks when it comes to employees’ welfare programmes.

    In a move that should be a lesson to all major corporate houses across the world, Borosil has announced that they will be paying the complete salaries to the dependant of their employees for two years if they succumb to COVID-19.

    Borosil’s Managing Director, Shreevar Kheruka, took to Linkedin to announce that having lost 4 vital employees, Borosil decided to implement this policy. They also announced that the education of the children in such families, will also be taken care of, till the time they graduate.

    This may come as a surprise to some, but not all workplaces provide demise compensations. Some of them, who do provide such compensations, have a number of terms & conditions in place which allow them to not have to pay anything.
    Barring the two years-salary part, what is really commendable is the fact that Borosil India has set out to pay for the education of all children from the families of afflicted employees. 
    Although a few people on Twitter were a little sceptical about this thinking that this may be a PR stunt, by and large, people supported this and hoped that other workplaces would implement something similar.
    I hope it's not an eyewash. Many companies pay more than this as part of policy. And I hope education includes higher/professional education in any stream and any college and not just until formal mainstream graduation in a govt/regular college.
    — RC (@RupesChoudhury) May 1, 2021A good initiative Respect to you. I dont think everybody can do this so we cannot expect others to carry out the same. Still, a huge respect to Borosil management. #Borosil pic.twitter.com/YyLfCBXn50
    — BB4U (@BB4U5) May 1, 2021Maximum MNCs and IT Companies have a term plan of their every employee for 200% of their current CTC. Now Gov can make it mandatory for every worker in all industries to make sure the suffering families can survive in coming years.

    An example rightly set by Borosil India! Hope others take a cue from such goodwill gestures.

    — Ashwin (@msrashwinz) May 1, 2021We genuinely applaud Borosil, and all other companies, who have implemented such policies, and hope that others start planning to take the same route.
