Wireless earphones are the things now for music lovers as they allow them to be free from the long wires and cords. However, the main issue with wireless earphones is their short battery life, which the companies have been working on to increase it with every product they launch. One such amazing wireless earphones have been launched by Redmi, and they are called the Redmi SonicBass earphones. The main USP of these earphones is the bassy sound and the long 12 hours of battery life it provides to the user. 

These earphones have been launched in Nepal at a price tag of NPR 2,099, which seems to be a very competitive price in this category. The earphones have currently been launched in Nepal only, and no information is available right now on the global availability of the product. The earphones can provide a life of 12 hours of continuous use in a single charge and are completely splash and sweat resistant. The earphones will also support environmental noise cancellation and are supposed to give a superior sound with pro bass. 

However,  do not expect it to give superior noise cancellation as it is still a budget product. The device also comes with an IPX4 rating and used Bluetooth 5.0 for connectivity. The in-earbuds are comfortable along with a neckband that is flat. The product seems to be very promising in the category of budget wireless earphones and will surely be a seller if launched in the global market by Redmi.

A new vulnerability has been detected in the Windows operating system, which could lead the hackers to steal passwords using the Windows theme. These Malicious theme packs can be used to execute a “pass-the-hash” attack which sends passwords to a remote server. These themes are attractive and made in a way to attract the user to download them. These themes are made or created in a way that has an inbuilt mechanism to steal your details after it has been applied. Themes are made out of various components such as icons, images, background, mouse pointers, sounds, etc. 

All of these components are together linked using the .theme filename. These malicious themes ask the users to enter their Windows password to enter and apply the theme, which then uses the information and passes them to a remote server. These kinds of malicious themes can also be used to take full control of your system and corrupt the Windows files or steal your very important data such as banking or financial logins. However, if you do not want any such things to happen, then simply try to avoid downloading any such themes from a third party or unknown source. 

Also, one can associate .theme, .themepack, and .desktopthemepack file extension to a different application so they are not automatically executed if double-clicked. 

These are a few things that one can do to avoid any such issues in their operating system. Also, make sure not to download any kind of theme or software from a third party or unknown resources as they might contain files that can damage your operating system.

A few days back, the Indian government banned 118 Chinese apps, which also included the very famous gaming app called PUBG. Since then there has been a lot of speculation as to what the company will do to restore the game back in India. A few hours back, it was rumored that PUBG corporation will remove the right from Tencent for publishing the game in India. Tencent being a Chinese company, led to the ban of PUBG as it was responsible for publishing and managing the game in India. 

It has now been confirmed the PUBG has broken their relationship with Tencent for India and it soon might be the case in the US as well, as the US government is also looking to ban Chinese apps. Now, PUBG is looking to partner up with an Indian gaming firm to replace the responsibilities of Tencent. If the publishing right of the game is being handled by an Indian gaming firm, it would reverse the ban on PUBG and it will be available to the users again. It has been rumored that PUBG corporation is already in talks with a gaming firm in India and will soon announce the association. 

PUBG Corp is a unit of South Korea’s Bluehole Games and disassociating with Tencent will not make them applicable for the ban of the app. The company has assured that they respect the decision of the Indian government and the reason behind the ban. It is the reason why they will try to comply with every regulation of the Indian government and make sure none of the user’s data is transferred to any other country and stays on the local server.
