    Sony has been silent about the PlayStation 5 ever since the logo of the console was confirmed at CES earlier this year. While Sony has made some information available about the console, we didnât know much about the PS 5 until today. New information comes from a major retailer in the United States, who is an important partner for Sony when it comes to offline sales. Information coming from GameStop is probably the most concrete details weâve heard about the console yet.

    GameStop put up a placeholder landing page for the PlayStation 5 and the page showed off some details that we were already aware of via various interviews and events along with some information that was not available previously. 
    A few of the features GameStop mentions include Full 8K TV supportCustom 8-core AMD chipset 3D Audio Built-for-purpose SSD storage/Backwards compatibility with PS4 games/PSVR hardware Ray tracing capabilitiesWhile we know some of these details from previous interviews and events, GameStop goes into detail about the custom AMD chipper the console will be using. It details that the chipset is an 8-core, 6-thread CPU based on AMD's Zen 2 microarchitecture. In comparison to the PlayStation 4, the PS5 will probably be a huge leap in processing power and graphical prowess. To put things into perspective, the Xbox Series X is already confirmed to achieve up to 12 TeraFlops and Sony is expected to have the same level of performance if not better.

    GameStop also confirmed that the Dualshock 5 will have haptic feedback technology and adaptive triggers that will let you feel in-game physics such as resistance; for example, when braking in racing games. In terms of design, weâve already seen leaked pictures of the controller and it doesnât look much different than the PlayStation 4 apart from minor changes. We also reported that Sony is looking to add biometric sensors as an accessory that can sense fear and other biometrics data which can be used to enhance your gaming experience.

    In terms of the software experience, GameStop details that the menu will allow players to "see what is happening in a game without even booting it up." Players can also "see which multiplayer matches are available or what single-player missions you are on in the game.â 
    Sony is yet to show off the console and all of its features even though it is scheduled to launch during Holiday 2020. Sony has already pulled out of key gaming events like PAX East, GDC, and E3, hinting that the console is not entirely ready for a full reveal yet.

    People collect a lot of things, but Ottocar J can one-up literally everyone with his massive collection of Porsches. Yep, he's collecting cars because why the hell not?
    The 80-year-old recently bought his 80th Porsche, a Boxster Spyder in an eye-catching blue colour, and for his loyalty to the brand, he's also now become the first customer to be allowed to affix the Porsche Crest on the bonnet himself.
    © Porsche
    His incredible journey with Porsche started 50 years ago on the racing track. He said, "The Porsche cars simply flew past me on all sides." That was the moment he started saving up and bought a 911 E in Speed Yellow. And thus, a long journey began.

    While he has owned 80 cars over the course of decades, his current collection stands at 38 Porsches. He said, "I can drive a different one every day for a month – and two at the weekends."

    Being able to drive a different car every day of the month, now that's something not a lot of people can say.

    He has built an entirely separate building for all his cars that is decorated with numerous cups, posters, components, trophies and mementos from races, events and Porsche Club meets.

    But, his collection is not just for show, he loves driving them and is regularly out and about with nine of his vehicles, including a 911 R, a Type 991 911 Speedster and two Boxster Spyders from the last two generations.

    While he doesn't have a favourite out of the lot, he drives his Type 981 Boxster Spyder more than the others. He said, "The sound, how it drives, its suspension, everything that it does – it is the only one of my road-legal Porsche that reminds me of my 910."
    © Porsche
    Waiting to complete his 50 years long Porsche journey, he said, "When you are 80-years-old, you don’t think so much about the past anymore but more about the future. You look forward to things that are still to come. Since I bought my first Porsche in 1972, that anniversary will be 2022. So the circle from the past to the present is complete. Because that is how everything began."

    Apple Watch has now become one of the most essential gadgets to own, thanks to its various health tracking features. It has been responsible for saving lives in the past too and recently, a feature that was introduced on the Apple Watch Series 4 saved a man's life this time around. Apple introduced the “fall detection” feature that alerts emergency services if a user takes a hard fall and does not get up after a minute.

    After the first minute, the watch will buzz and sound an alarm. It will then ask if you are fine or need any assistance. If the user is unable to respond in 30 seconds, it will call emergency services automatically and also sound an alarm to notify people who are nearby. The Apple Watch will also send the location of the user to the emergency services so that it is easier for them to be located.
    This feature has been responsible in the past for saving a man's life after he fell during a biking accident. Now the same feature has saved a man's life who's from New Jersey and had suffered a fall from a cliff while out for a hike. 
    © Pinterest(For representation purposes only)
    News12 New Jersey reported that the man was hiking in Hartshorne Woods Park. While hiking, he fell from a very steep cliff but did not suffer any life-threatening injuries. The report said, “Prudenciano fell into the river and landed on a rock. He suffered three fractures in his back, scratches and thorns that are still lodged in his foot.”
    “I was screaming that I'm going to die because I really felt I was going to die,” Prudenciano said. “There was no way out of this for me. I literally said my last goodbyes.”
    He was miraculously saved, thanks to his Apple Watch as it detected the hard fall and called 911. This feature only works on the Lte variant of the Apple Watch but does not require a carrier plan to dial emergency services.

    The whole nation is divided when it comes to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his efforts like Swachh Bharat, Make in India and the recently imposed currency demonetization;, but what his younger brother, Prahlad Modi, said was something totally unexpected. 
    Prahlad Modi asked his community members to prefix “Modi” to their names. That’s right! He was attending an all-India meet of younger men and women of the Sahu community in Bhopal on Sunday, where he said, “After coming here I am only hearing one thing, Narendra Modi is the pride of India and his community. But why we, the members of Teli Samaj (oil-makers’ community) are not ready to prefix Modi to our names.”

    He further added that the leaders of his community use names of sub-castes like Sahu, Rathod and Chauhan, for their selfish motives. Talking about sub-castes, he said that the Patidar and Rajput communities too have sub-castes; however, their identity as Patidar and Rajput remains intact. 
    Prahlad even said, “If we start with the prefix Modi, I believe that our community’s population will add up to 14 crore” (across India). What’s more, he referred to his community being the children of Goddess Karma Devi who was a Teli, and they are Teli and Modis. “We should resolve today that henceforth our name would begin with Modi,” he added. Calling for unity of the community, he spoke about how the community was being divided due to groupism and the political parties that fooled them.

    A majority of the workforce across a lot of different countries are now working from home due to the on-going coronavirus outbreak. If you aren't already working from home, then we highly suggest you talk to your employer and sort it out because it's not safe to step out of your house for some obvious reasons.
    That being said, working from home isn't ideal for a lot of people. While there are a lot of tools available online to help you stay productive, it's not going to fetch the same results for each and every firm. And that's exactly why many big-name companies are turning to AI for help.

    Facebook, for instance, has already announced that it would rely more heavily on artificial-intelligence-powered content moderation. Content moderation is something that should be taken very seriously, especially at Facebook, so this is definitely a bold move.

    Similarly, it looks like YouTube is planning on using automated software to take down videos that violate the platform's policies. The company confirmed the same in a blog post, detailing how it plans to protect its workforce.
    So we already have two big players in the industry who are now relying on artificial intelligence to handle what we think of as complex tasks. Content moderation, for those of you who don't know, is quite complicated because you could be dealing with some sensitive content.
    Going through piles of posts, videos, or images and marking the ones that violate the policy is a huge responsibility. If everything goes to plan, then one might even think that this is the ultimate AI takeover that we all have been talking about for a while now.
    Could This Be The Ultimate AI Takeover? © Reuters
    Probably not. Here's the thing - even if AI systems manage to do their job well in Facebook's and YouTube's case, we won't be seeing other companies following suit immediately. Both Facebook and YouTube (Alphabet Inc) have deep roots in the field of AI, so they're probably light years ahead of other firms when it comes to AI advancements.

    Even then it looks like AI is already getting a lot of stuff wrong. It looks like Facebook's AI is marking a lot of posts as spam, even though they're not. Here, check it out 
    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Facebook decided that my posting of this Times of Israel article is spam. (Itâs not spam.) <a href="https://t.co/3NqUbiwmyi">pic.twitter.com/3NqUbiwmyi</a></p>&mdash; Mike Godwin (@sfmnemonic) <a href="https://twitter.com/sfmnemonic/status/1240059769295011841?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 17, 2020</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
    This seems to be happening a lot lately, which means the AI is not really ready to replace humans yet, at least when it comes to content moderation. YouTube has also warned about some errors in the blog post. They're also going to use AI, or they already are, so the company says you should expect some errors going forward until everything gets back to normal.
    Building a sustainable and consistent AI isn't going to be feasible for a lot of companies just yet. Even in the case of big tech firms, the AI will go through a tough time before literally learning from its actions (mistakes). So, we highly doubt if this is the ultimate AI takeover, just yet. But it'll definitely be a defining moment for AI and maybe even the first step towards replacing humans at different workspaces.
    This whole AI situation is something worth taking note of, but absolutely not something to worry about right now. We have a lot of other things to worry about at the moment, so let's all stay strong.

    Apoorva Shroff, who has designed the house, has shared a few details about it while talking to Pinkvilla. Sharing her views about Madhuri, the designer said, "Honestly, I was surprised by how down to earth they were and how practical their requests were. The only constraint as such, was the timeline". 
    Talking about the brief given to her, Apoorva added, "The brief was to give the new home of the star couple a quick makeover. The apartment located on 29th floor of a Worli high rise had a spectacular view of the city sparkling below at night and ample of light filtering in from all directions during the day".

    On the career front, Madhuri is yet to announce her next project after The Fame Game. On the Bollywood front, the actress was regularly doing films till Devdas (2002). After a five-year absence from the big screen, she made a comeback with Aaja Nachle in 2007, which failed at the box office. 
    Since then, Madhuri has occasionally featured in movies like Dedh Ishqiya (2014), Gulaab Gang (2014), Bucket List (Marathi debut in 2018), Total Dhamaal (2019), and Kalank (2019).

    With the death toll on a constant rise, thousands of houses destroyed, lakhs of people left homeless and seeking shelter in relief camps and scores missing; the situation in the wake of the deadly Kerala floods is only turning nightmarish with each passing day. 
    Reuters
    Amid this crisis, we can't stop ourselves from saluting the Indian Navy, the NDRF and the local police for tirelessly working day and night to rescue the people stuck in deep waters. 
    Thanks to the regular updates by the Indian Navy, we can witness the bravery and the courage with which their personnel are carrying out the rescue missions, and the risks they are taking to ensure people's safety.

    — SpokespersonNavy (@indiannavy) August 16, 2018 A few days ago, we saw how Naval rescue chopper pilot Cdr Vijay Varma and his men rescued a pregnant woman (whose water bag broke) from the rooftop of her house near Aluva. In another daring mission an 80-year-old woman was airlifted from a narrow rooftop.

    — SpokespersonNavy (@indiannavy) August 17, 2018 While the social media is filled with thank you messages for the Indian Navy, there's one gesture, in particular, that has caught people's attention and it is probably one of the most heartwarming gestures we have seen so far.
    To express their gratitude to the Indian Navy, someone painted a giant 'Thanks' on the rooftop, from where Cdr Varma rescued two women on August 17. The official Twitter account of Indian Navy posted these pictures.

    — SpokespersonNavy (@indiannavy) August 20, 2018 According to some reports, it's the same rooftop from where the pregnant woman was rescued and airlifted to a hospital.
    Meanwhile, people from across the country are coming together to help the flood victims in every possible way, be it by setting up relief camps, donating money and by providing necessary relief materials like ration, biscuits, medicines, milk, water and other necessary toiletries.

    Dating has shifted base to the online arena and there is no going around it unless you want to remain single, or remain single for a long time. 
    Now, to get the ball rolling and set up those dates with the girl you like, you need to first, let them know youâre interested in them.
    How do you do that? By flirting!
    And as long as you can pull off being a non-creepy, non-offensive flirt, trust me, you can get any girl. If you want to get started and up your online flirting game right now, follow these 5 easy tips to flirt successfully and land a date with your crush:
    1. Keep The Rule Of Reciprocity In Mind © Pexels
    The one thing you can never lose sight of while flirting, be it online or otherwise, is the Rule of Reciprocity as I like to call it. 

    The idea is to pay attention to whether your crush or potential date is equally involved and interested in the process. Remember to start off gently, and amp it up only when you see them showing genuine interest. 
    2. Ditch Playing Safe © Pexels
    Right from hitting her up for the first time to getting the conversation rolling, donât go by the âfoolproof flirting tricksâ your friends handed down to you. 

    Crack a conversation with a funny but not insensitive comment about her profile, and build it up by talking about your interests over time. If at any point you feel like you need to take things up a notch, try sharing stuff on what interests her and you think she would enjoy checking out.
    3. Let The Emoti (cons) ons Flow © Flickr
    Not only do women enjoy emoticon-heavy conversations, but using them can also help you understand your woman better. 

    It makes the conversation lively and less boring, besides helping you play it safe and keep the conversation open. Get that emoticon game on.
    4. Risk It With Sexual Undertones, But Go Easy © Pexels
    This is only when you have been going to and fro with the sweet messages for a while now. Just because youâre in the online flirting zone doesnât mean you canât drop in a few lines with sexual undertones here and there. 

    But beware, know where to draw the line. Instead of going at it with full guns blazing, turn things around by pointing out her ânaughty sideâ when she shares something adventurous.

    While itâs great to be talking and hitting it off with all the right moves, the trick here is to make it lasting enough to lead to an actual date eventually. 

    So, donât spill your beans all at once. Stay honest but also keep up the mystery.
