Hello everyone, welcome to T3, The Tech Talks. I am Aditya Vikram Singh and I'm gonna be your host
Taking you to all the major tech happenings and the most happening tech at the same time
I've had a tech inspired journey for the past 10 Years approximately
And me coming up with something like this was just a matter of time, I would say
We can maybe talk about me, more of me, later!
A lot of major things have been happening in the tech space
recently and a few of them, we're gonna talk about in this video. So let's start talking tech!
First up is Chandrayaan-2
Fourth nation to successfully soft land a spacecraft on the moon
first nation to land a mission on the south floor of the moon on the darker side and
Also a chance to study water on the moon, a first for any global community
Unfortunately, all these groundbreaking achievements just did not happen this time around
ISRO lost contact of the carrier with Vikram Lander and
Pragyan Rover on board just when it was 2.1 kilometers from the moon's surface
after following its planned trajectory for around
384,000 kilometers
Just wasn't the day for ISRO today!
According to NASA only 60% of lunar missions undertaken in the last six decades have been successful
But all is not lost as the orbiter is where 95%
of the experiments are and it is safely in the lunar orbit, performing its mission
And as prime minister narendra modi said
No failure in science only experiments and efforts
ISRO's efforts inspire hope and optimism for the future
And one more important badge of honor for ISRO will also be the fact that
For the first time, the project was led by two women
Project director M Vanitha and mission director Ritu Karidhal
So the question, do you think India's making the right noise as far as space exploration is concerned, on a global scale?
This question is inspired by personal opinion, person thoughts. I would love to know your thoughts. Do let me know the same, through the poll!
Next up, Android ten is live!
So surprisingly
Google chose to name its latest Android version as Android 10 and not something starting with Q
Which is the usual, as previously it was Android Pie
Okay, wait
Did Google just take inspiration from its arch rival for the naming of its latest offering?
by following the number game?
One nice surprise, is to see the original Pixels still supported even though they're out of the official updates window
but the biggest surprise, is the biggest change being the addition of dark theme, long being requested by pixel users and a
Personal favorite too, as it's easier on your eyes and battery both!
Another important change is the removal of navigation bar entirely
No back. No home buttons. Wee got a new gesture navigation system in place.
Smart reply now suggests actions not just replies
so if you get a message with an address, you can be suggested to open it in maps and
The very important focused mode, lets us create a zone of our own by blocking out distractions
A.k.a. apps which you tend to overuse and affect your productivity
*clears throat* PUBG anyone?
Lastly privacy matters!
Recently a major happening took place in the tech world
Where Apple Google Amazon Facebook and Microsoft were caught using paid human
Contractors to review recordings from their digital assistants, a fact that wasn't made clear to customers!
According to the Guardians report those contractors had access to recordings that were full of private details
including sex recordings often due to accidental City triggers and
Workers were said to each be listening to up to a thousand recordings a day
What caught everyone's eye was that Apple was party to this issue, the same company who one declined  the FBI to unlock an iPhone
Citing its policy which required never undermine the security features of its products
So as expected
Apple took control of the issue which the recordings
realizing they hadn't been fully living up to their high ideals and for that they apologized, a rarity for Apple to
The new policy changes include siri audio recordings won't be retained by default any more
users will be able to opt in to help Siri improve from their audio samples that is only if they want and
if you opt in only Apple employees will be allowed to listen to the audio samples unlike third-party contractors and
You can opt out any time. I would personally suggest you do that and
Not surprisingly Microsoft Google, etc. Are yet to fall in line?
A big thanks to all of you for watching T3's first video. I do
Hope you liked it and that you subscribe to its future videos where we try and make this experience grow together
until next time Cheers
