    One of the most important things to make sure of while dealing with cryptocurrency is securing your wallet. 
    A computer programmer in the US now finds himself locked out of a digital wallet containing an estimated $220 million (Rs 1,175 Cr) worth of Bitcoin.
    The fact that he's locked out of his wallet is the most painful part. 
    It's also worth pointing out that he's left with only two chances left to figure out his password before its contents are encrypted. 
    If he fails to get it right then he'll never be able to reach his wallet and all those Bitcoins are gone.

    German-born Stefan Thomas, who now lives in San Francisco, told New York Times that he was gifted 7,002 Bitcoins by an early cryptocurrency fanatic. 

    This was back in 2011 apparently when Bitcoins weren't as huge as they are right now. Can we have more people like that Crypto fanatic in our lives, please?
    Unfortunately, Thomas lost the password to his digital wallet the same year and he's been locked out of it ever since. Of course, it's more painful now because of how much the Bitcoins have increased in value.
    "I would just lay in bed and think about it," Thomas told NYT. "Then I would go to the computer with some new strategy, and it wouldn't work, and I would be desperate again."

    Lucky for him, it wasn't the only wallet he kept his Bitcoins in. He says he kept hold of Bitcoin in other wallets too that has made him rich. 

    But the fact that he lost his password and is now locked out of a huge chunk of Cryptocurrency is just sad.

    Impromptu breakouts on the face are the biggest buzzkill, what's even worse about these acne marks are the scars they leave behind. 

    These scars take months to fade away. But, if you're looking for a quick way to get rid of these scars, you've come to the right place.

    What Are Acne Scars?Acne scars are the marks left behind by breakouts. They can show up in different ways and depend on the kind of acne experienced. 
    Having said that, there are three types of acne scars. Atrophic scarring, referring to the depression or indentation it leaves behind. These take the most time to heal.
    The other kinds are namely keloid and hypertrophic lesions that are common on the jawline and the chest. 
    While hypertrophic scars are confined to the area the pimple inhabited, keloid scarring often spreads across.

    What Causes Acne Scars?The appearance of an acne scar is determined by the size, duration, and healing process of the acne. The longer your acne took to heal, will affect the kind of scar that forms later on.
    Do Acne Scars Go Away?It really depends on the kind of scar you have. While some scars disappear others might only lessen in size. If scars are deep, they can take a little longer and aggressive treatments.
    How To Prevent Acne ScarsIn order to prevent future acne scars, a rule of thumb is to not pick at your pimples, and refrain from popping them. 
    Other than that, you can also add the following to your grooming stash:
    1. Exfoliators For Acne Scars
    Using exfoliators can help unclog the pores and stimulate collagen and elastin into the skin at the same time. 
    You could try the Espa clarifying skin scrub. An exfoliator that cleanses, clarifies while protecting the skin's natural moisture barrier.

    2. Niacinamide

    An ingredient that is great for helping with the pesky dark spots on the skin. 
    Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3 and has multiple uses. It is anti-inflammatory and nixes active acne. Look for niacinamide in your skincare products. 
    3. SPF
    Using an SPF of 30 or higher can stop acne lesions from leaving dark marks on the skin. 
    One should typically use an SPF moisturiser year-round, every day, regardless of the sun’s exposure. You can use the Phy Shield Daily Defence Cream SPF 45

    4. Vitamin C
    Vitamin C is another powerful antioxidant that repairs skin cells. 
    It is recommended to use vitamin C to apply every morning before sunscreen, this helps prevent redness and inflammation as well. 
    You could use the Pilgrim Vitamin C Night Serum.

    While the Indian cricket team was struggling to stay afloat in the second innings of the Sydney Test after the dismissals of Rishabh Pant and Cheteshwar Pujara, the country turned to middle-order batsmen Hanuma Vihari and Ravichandran Ashwin with the hopes of not losing the match. 
    While Ashwin was dealing with his own set of health issues and injuries,  Vihari, who was in visible discomfort at the very beginning of his innings, was seen with bandages wrapped around his thigh as his hamstring had completely given up. Every step he took was visibly painful.
    Kudos to #TeamIndia for the resilient spirit shown at the #SydneyTest.

    It was clear that he was in no shape to keep playing, but instead of going back to the dressing room and pushing off the responsibility of surviving the dangerous Australian bowling attack over the heads of an injured Ravindra Jadeja (dislocated left thumb) followed by inexperienced lower-order batsmen, he stuck to the crease, defiantly defending one ball after another. 
    There was a time when Vihari had scored just six runs off 100 deliveries. Those who understood the game and understood the situation, lauded the batsman’s determination and patience to keep his painful innings alive.
    View this post on InstagramWhile others like Union Minister and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Babul Supriyo felt it was a 'complete waste of time' and that Vihari had in fact 'murdered' the game of cricket.
    Playing 109 balls to score 7 !That is atrocious to say the least•Hanuma Bihari has not only killed any Chance for India to achieve a historic win but has also murdered Cricket.. not keeping win an option, even if remotely, is criminal.
    PS: I know that I know nothing abt cricket

    “Playing 109 balls to score 7 ! That is atrocious to say the least. Hanuma Bihari has not only killed any Chance for India to achieve a historic win but has also murdered Cricket.. not keeping win an option, even if remotely, is criminal. PS: I know that I know nothing abt cricket,” Supriyo wrote.
    Admitting to the fact that he knows nothing of cricket, Supriyo didn’t even care about writing the correct spelling of the cricketer’s name and instead went on a baseless rant. 
    Credit to the class of Vihari who replied to the tweet with just two words, that won the internet through and through.
    *Hanuma Vihari
    — Hanuma vihari (@Hanumavihari) January 13, 2021
    Instead of getting in a war of words and explaining why he did what he did, Vihari simply corrected the spelling of his name in the reply and that was more than enough for his followers to go head over heels for him.
    Here’s who some of the fans reacted:

    Manish Malhotra may have been revolutionising the fashion department as a designer for decades now, but if you happen to look at his personal style, well, that's just as impressive as his collection.

    Speaking of his sartorial sensibilities, Manish's style is mainly inclined towards athleisure pieces, most of which are outrageously expensive. 

    Not just that, like some of the most well-known sneakerheads, Manish also has a desirable sneaker collection.

    However, when the designer recently made an appearance at the Mumbai airport, he set some serious fashion goals. 

    His style was quite relatable and we decided to take notes.
    Take a look.

    A trench coat looks the classiest and in basic terms, it's a style that works as a winter coat.

    Manish has tried to create a monochromatic look here. To make it look more relaxed and for easy layering, he wore the coat over a basic black T-shirt, that elevated his whole look.

    That, clad with classy black pants, added more edgy street vibe to his look.

    While that was about his outfit, the intriguing element here were his sneakers. 

    Add to that, we even loved the way he wore his mask. Though it's basic, it's blending well with the overall aesthetics of his ensemble. 
    We like how Manish is wearing his version of a long coat here. It's made with double collar and belted sleeves, and huge buttons, forming a tailored fit for his look.
    They stand out because they are pure white. These coke whites are by Nike and the stylish construction of these sneakers made an impressive mark.  
    In all, we think his look is quite cool and classy and we are all set to cop it, the next time we travel.

    OnePlus is making its foray into wearables and their first attempt is with the brand new OnePlus Band. However, the company’s first steps into a new segment is a big disappointment in almost every way. Whether it comes to the performance, features and usability; it all looks quite half baked. We’ve been testing the OnePlus Band for over a week and met with several problems over the course of the review. From battery drain issues to pairing problems, the OnePlus Band is not exactly what we expected. 
    Design When I first opened the box of the OnePlus Band, the first thing that came to my mind was “oh hey! They sent the Oppo fitness tracker.” That’s because the OnePlus Band is a rebranded fitness tracker that we’ve already seen by its sister company Oppo. Even the software that you use with the OnePlus Band is identical to the ColorOS version of it. From the basic design to even the functionality; there’s nothing innovative, new or unique about the OnePlus Band.

    The OnePlus Band comes with a 1.1-inch AMOLED touchscreen that is the only way one can interact with the fitness tracker. There isn’t a single physical button on the fitness tracker that can be used for navigating menus or act as a simple back button. The pill-shaped tracker comes with a silicone strap and needs to be removed for charging. Speaking of the charger, it comes with the smallest USB charging cable that feels awkward to use with a wall charger.

    You cannot use it to charge your device on the nightstand nor can you use it to charge from a wall plug that is high as it dangles the charging module. The other baffling choice is the usage of a USB-A port here as OnePlus has now switched to chargers that come with a USB-C port and will remain the same with future models as well. It might be convenient for older OnePlus users however it isn’t future proof if you plan to buy OnePlus smartphones in the future. 

    The OnePlus Band also comes with an IP68 water resistance rating which means you can use it underwater up to a maximum depth of 1.5m for up to thirty minutes. Having said that, the band does offer swimming tracking as well. Of course, we could not test this feature thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic but it's good to see OnePlus include this form of tracking. 
    The overall design of the tracking device is quite rudimental and very similar to Xiaomi’s Mi Band 5. Which means apart from the logo there’s nothing really unique about the band that will set it apart from millions of Mi Band users.
    Battery Life © MensXP_Akshay Bhalla
    The OnePlus Band is said to offer battery life up to seven days on a single charge however that was not the case in our testing. When idle through the night, we notice a 20% drop in battery which is quite unacceptable when compared to what the competition is capable of. With SPO2 turned on, the battery life is even worse and lasts anywhere between 3-4 days. This is after receiving an update after the launch which only means the fitness band is not well optimised for power users right now. 

    Usability and Fitness The OnePlus Band in terms of usage is very basic which is not what I expected from a debut product. You can navigate the interface by using gestures i.e. swipe left, up or down from the top of the display. Swiping up brings up all the settings and different modes you can use while swiping down brings up your notifications. 
    Speaking of notifications, the OnePlus Band does them well and is almost instantaneous. However, there are still some teething issues that need to be fixed. In fact, this is where we noticed the OnePlus Band is not a first-party ecosystem device the company makes it out to be. For example, if you turn on DND on your smartphone, the OnePlus Band ignores that and does not set DND mode on the tracker. You will have to turn on DND on the fitness band manually as it works independently from the phone. As a companion device to OnePlus phones, it’s beneficial for only rejecting calls and locating your phone via the pinging method. The OnePlus Band does offer some smartwatch features, but it's not as comprehensive as I thought it would be.

    When it comes to fitness, the tracker offers the usual activity tracking such as outdoor runs, indoor run, outdoor walk, cycling, elliptical training amongst others. The tracker also uses connected GPS for tracking your runs which more or less works as advertised. The fitness tracker also calculates steps quite reasonably well and the heart rate monitor is accurate enough for the cost of the fitness band. 

    In addition to all of the fitness tracking, the OnePlus Band also offers sleep tracking. To be honest, I didn’t really use this feature as I cannot wear anything on my wrist while sleeping. However, I have heard from peers the sleep tracking is on point and can even detect sleep apnea. 
    The OnePlus band can also read blood oxygen levels which is a nice feature to have. However, in my usage, the performance of SPo2 detection was all over the place. There were instances where it would read SPo2 levels very accurately when compared to a pulse oximeter and there were times it was not. To be honest, one should not consider the OnePlus Band as a blood oxygen reader in the first place as it is only supposed to indicate approximate blood oxygen levels. Having said that, the OnePlus Band needs to do a better job of bringing all of the health data at the forefront to its users. 
    OnePlus Health AppThe OnePlus Health app is currently the most disappointing part of the whole experience. It is a rebranded app of Oppo’s offering and lacks many features that are a staple for fitness tracking companion apps. There’s no way to track your weight, monitor your diet or export data. The companion definitely needs a bit of work in order to become a comprehensive offer however for now it seems half baked.

    Having said that, I do like the simplicity of the app and additional features such as the ability to change watch faces. The watch faces aren’t as elaborate as the Apple Watch but it does deliver all the information you need. Other features include having the ability to set alarms (up to 5), set the hours for raise to wake, and set the vibration levels. We can see the OnePlus Health app transform to an all-in-one health tracking app in the future however for now it makes the user feel more like a beta-tester right now. 

    The Final SayThe OnePlus Band retails in India for Rs 2,499 which is great value if OnePlus fixes all the issues with the tracker. At launch, the OnePlus Band is not the ideal fitness trackers for users especially since the competition has a more robust offering. As of now, the OnePlus Band seems like a rushed product that is not ready to compete with the big boys yet.
