Three good reasons: Why you should switch off your smartphone at night

-

 Many smartphones stay on all the time and only turn off when the battery runs out. In fact, both the phone and its users will live longer if the phone is turned off every night before bed. We'll show you why this is also true in the next section.

Extend cell phone lifespan

 

Most people don't use their cell phones at night. Instead, they put them on standby or charge them and leave them on their nightstands while they sleep.

 

When lithium-ion batteries are charged for too long, like overnight, it hurts them and makes them less powerful. Even if the phone isn't plugged in to the charger but is just sitting on the nightstand in idle mode, it still uses power. This could be because the phone is always connected to the cell tower or because apps are running in the background. Because of this, the cell phone needs to be charged more often.

 

But many smartphones can only be charged a certain number of times before the battery's performance starts to get worse. This means that if you charge your phone overnight for too long, it will hurt the battery. Don't charge your phone at night, because it still loses power and needs to be charged.

 

It is better to simply turn off the cell phone to save the battery and thus extend the life of the smartphone.

 

Fix bugs and problems

 

If your cell phone gets stuck or an app freezes, restarting it can help. Because this causes a "soft reset," and the operating system shuts down completely. Running programs are closed, WLAN and SIM connections are set, and the main memory is also cleared.

 

Minor bugs or other complications with the functionality can be fixed in many cases.

 

More restful sleep

 

The cell phone is always on, and we are always getting messages, e-mails, and calls. Because of this, a lot of people say they have trouble focusing.

 

In her thesis, a student at the International School of Management in Hamburg showed that taking breaks from our phones is good for our mental health. Regular breaks cut down on the need to use cell phones and make it easier to work or relax.

 

Therefore, instead of using Instagram, WhatsApp & Co. before going to bed, we recommend simply switching off the smartphone and reading a book or listening to an audio book, for example.

 A new governmental order will require virtual private networks to store user data for a minimum of five years. This is new national directive of the country's IT emergency response team, called. Photo by Kevin Paster: Pexel This is a policy that is probably going to make life harder for VPN businesses and VPN users. CERT-in announced on Thursday that the VPN companies of the country will have to keep the names of the clients, the physical and IP addresses validated, the habits of use and other forms of personal information. If the customer cancels their subscription or deletes their account, their information will always be stored in the company's servers according to the directive. Those who fail to do so could face up to one year in prison under the applicable law cited in the new directive. The directive does not stop at VPN providers.Data centres and cloud-based providers are listed in the same provision. India has a long tradition of putting the heavy hand to online activ

Brutal crackdown by the government could not deter people from coming out of their homes and heading towards Islamabad

-
 The government’s crackdown on PTI workers and supporters made it clear that they have decided to stop PTI’s Independence March at all cost. News reports say more than 1,000 PTO workers and activists have been arrested.  The government has called in the Rangers to maintain law and order in Islamabad and other major cities of the country, including Karachi. All entrances and exits to and from Islamabad were shut down, as was traffic between Lahore and the Twin Cities. The government has also instructed transport companies not to offer buses, cars, or vans to PTI workers. The manner in which Shahbaz and its allies are using state apparatus to prevent people from participating in the march is not acceptable.  The #WeAreComingKaptaan hashtag tells us that brutal crackdown by the government could not deter people from coming out of their homes and heading towards Islamabad.  Look what this government is doing spreading broken glasses on the road.

Everything you need to know about DDR5

 DDR4 memory is found on most personal computers. The next generation memory standard is coming out. Computers users expect increased performance and optimal power consumption  in the new chips.  If we focus on raw data, the main changes include a reduction in the voltage from 1.2V to 1.1V, and the 8n prefetch buffer will be replaced by 16n prefetch buffers, i.e. 16 bits per hour will migrate from memory cells to the IO buffer, while performance will be scaled from 3.2 Gbps to 6.4 Gbps per I/O connection. We can expect increased performance as some memory makers  have managed to enhance JEDEC specifications for DDR4.  The design of the DDR5 memory modules is based on 288 needles. The application of DDR5 will requires a new platform.  The DIMM has been divided into two channels. A memory module offers two 32-bit channels, of which there will be twice 40 bits with ECC. Between 8 bytes to 16 bytes the minimum stroke length varies. Sense a module uses two channels, it means it can double t
