If you have been using social media platforms like Facebook, then you might have joined or have seen online communities. The major role of these communities is to bring together people with the same interest or people discussing the same topic. These communities are very activities in many segments like school, business, and personal. Since communities have become a major part of all social media platforms, WhatsApp is also looking forward to bringing the same feature on their messaging app. New rumors are regularly coming up that confirm that WhatsApp has been working on a new kind of community feature which is still under development. 

The feature was spotted for the first time in October this year by xda developers. Now WABetaInfo has also confirmed that a similar feature is under development. The new feature will provide the admins with more power over the groups and give them the ability to create groups within the existing groups based on different criteria. The users will be invited to the group using the community invited. There will also be subtle changes in the looks for these communities which will help the users to easily differentiate between them. 

The community icons will be square in share with rounded corners instead of round icons for normal groups. WhatsApp has not confirmed anything about this community feature so it is very difficult to know when the feature will be completely developed and released for the users. However, it is likely that the feature will be made available next year only. For now, we can think of it as an extension of community features on Facebook to WhatsApp.

Jio Phone Next has been launched in the Indian market and brings 4G connectivity through smartphones at the most affordable price. The phone is a joint venture between Jio and Google and runs on Pragati OS, which is a customized form of Android, which brings performance on smartphones with low-end specifications. The company has requested all the interested users to register on their website before going to the store to purchase it. The website will ask you for basic details and will register your request through an OTP on the mobile. 

The phone has been launched at a price of Rs 6,499, which does not seem that affordable. However, if you purchase the phone with Jio plans for 18/24/48 months, you will get the smartphone at a minimum price of Rs 1,999. The phone comes with a 5.5-inch HD+ screen and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 215 SoC to power it which is based on 28nm architecture. The phone comes with 2GB RAM and 32GB storage, with a 13MP rear camera and an 8MP front camera. 

The phone is powered using a 3,500 mAh battery and 7.5W charging. The display is not as bright but will be good for day-to-day use. However, do not expect the phone to provide a clear display under direct sunlight. Also, since the processor is based on 28nm architecture, the battery life can be a bit short. It will have all the basic Jio apps and a few features like text reading and translation. Users will also be able to use multiple languages to operate the phone through voice commands.

Samsung will be launching its next premium flagship, the Galaxy S22 next year in February. However, the internet is flooded with leaks and images of the smartphone even months before that launch. A recent leak on the internet claims to be the first renders of the Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra smartphone and these real-life photos give a lot about the design of the smartphone. The images have been leaked by Front Page Tech and show the complete back and front design of the smartphone.

The front shows a big display that would come with a punch-hole cutout on the front for the camera. Another feature that has been disclosed is the in-built slot for S Pen in the Galaxy S22 Ultra, which was also confirmed in the previous leaks. The in-built slot is the same as one can find in the Galaxy note series. It will be a much-required upgrade from the previous generation smartphone where the Spen had to be carried individually.

The images also show a new design for the camera module on the rear. The camera is not expected to be a big upgrade this time when compared to Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra. The front display would come with curved edges and the bottom has a USB-C port. These can be the images of the prototype for the Galaxy S22 Ultra smartphone and the final product can be different in terms of design at the time of launch. However, we can expect Samsung to offer customers something that would be very similar to this leaked image.

Microsoft Teams has been one of the primary video calling platforms ever since the pandemic hit the world. Infact, the platform has evolved a lot with the addition of millions of users worldwide. During the last two years, Microsoft Teams have been trying to add new features to the platforms which make it one of the best options for businesses, schools, and individuals. The features have been very effective especially for business users who have been conducting daily calls over Teams and managing their business. 

However, one of the major limitations of Teams was that the users were unable to interact and share the data on Teams with people outside their organization, but that will not be the case anymore. Microsoft Teams is finally coming with an update that will allow the business to work together with people outside the organizations through the online collaboration tool. Till now, the organizations had to use third-party applications for the same where they could bring customers, vendors, business partners, stakeholders, all on one platform to share the details and resources. 

It not only increased the complexity but was also difficult to manage as well. It is why Microsoft Teams is now working on a new feature that will bring all these functionalities to one place. Now, Microsoft Teams will connect through Azure Active Directory and use its capabilities to make cross-organizational collaboration a lot easier. The features will be available for preview next year where the teams of all the organizations will be visible on the screen and users will be able to schedule a shared channel meeting. It can also be used to create external collaborations with different organizations.

Facebook has recently rebranded itself as Meta, the company which is focusing primarily on the virtual world and how users can indulge in it. Ever since the rebranding, the company has been acquiring related companies and hiring people which can help them achieve the new possibilities of the virtual world. Recently, the company has acquired the developer of Supernatural, which is a Beat Saber-style workout app. Supernatural has been really successful when it comes to virtual reality fitness. 

Meta has acquired this company to expand its VR capabilities on its platform. Using the Supernatural platform and the Virtual environment capabilities, the company will be able to provide users with creative ways to work out and have a better virtual and social experience. Also, they have confirmed that they will be launching new exercises every day on this platform through Meta. The existing team of Supernatural will continue to work like it, as a part of Meta’s Reality Labs Division. 

It is not the only company Meta has been going forward with in terms of the acquisition, they are looking out for more such developers and companies which can help them create a virtual world for users where they can carry out every activity without having to be physically present at a location. We do expect Meta to make some major announcements in the future as to what they will be offering to the users and how they will merge new technologies. They are also expected to offer new VR products in the future which will work with their Meta services.

It is said that finding the End City for the loot is worth the while for any player. However, it is not as easy as it sounds, and finding the End City takes a lot of time. It is where the end city finder comes into the picture which makes finding the End City a lot easier.

Below are the Steps to Find End Cities in Minecraft

Converting a Bedrock Seed to Java seed to find the End City

Now before we start to find the end city, we should know that there are two different editions of the Minecraft game, where the first one is Java and the second one is Bedrock. The method mentioned here is mainly meant for the Java edition of the game. However, with a little tweak, we can also use it for the Bedrock edition. We just have to convert the Bedrock seed into Java seed and the fix will work for both editions. Once the Bedrock seed has been converted to java seed, you can use the end city finder without any issues.

To do so, you simply need to follow the below-mentioned steps.

  • The first thing you need to check is the value of the seed. If it is positive, then you can continue further, however, if it is negative, then add 4294967296 to it.

Finding the End City

Finding the end city using the end city finder is pretty easy and the steps for the same are mentioned below. With just a few steps using the end city finder, you will be able to get the best loot possible. You just need to make sure that the Bedrock seed has been converted to Java seed and you are all good to go.

  • Once the value has been converted to positive, you need to visit the Chunkbase End City finder app, which can be easily found online.
  • Once there, you will have to select the Java version from the dropdown and enter the seed value with the number added to it in the first step.

  • After the results have loaded, you will see dots on the grid. Simply hover the mouse over a dot and see the details on the bottom right.
  • It will show the coordinates and the kind of structure the dot represents.
  • Note down the value and go to the end to look for the End city.

Apart from this, you can also use the in-game commands to find the end city without losing any of your previous achievements. However, you can also use the seed to create a new world map and run the same command in it as well. The commands will return coordinates that will work for the new map as well in the same seed. Now, this method works 100% for the Java seed, but there is a mixed result for the Bedrock seed and there is a mixed chance that it will work for it or not.

Conclusion

So here is one of the best ways to find the end of it using the end city finder. The end city finder mentioned above can easily be found online through Google search and is very easy to use as well. So, go ahead and enjoy your Minecraft game with some extra loot for your gameplay and enjoy it to the fullest.

The market for VR and AR glasses has just started to open up in a way that more and more major companies are planning to launch products in this segment next year. One of those companies will be Apple, which is planning to launch Apple Glasses which will have both AR and VR capabilities. The information was provided by Bloomberg, which reports that Apple is planning to launch the device next year with advanced chipsets and displays. It is not yet confirmed if the glasses or headset will be used for only gaming or another task as well. 

However, the mixed reality device can be great when it comes to running high-quality virtual gaming. Since it will have both AR and VR capabilities, gaming in both environments will be supported. Also, it would also help in running high-performance games with requirements for higher graphics. Apple has been working on the devices for many years now but has never confirmed the launch of the device. 

However, it seems like Apple is going to make use of in-house chipsets developed by themselves and will finally launch the next generation VR and AR devices in the market. As expected, the device will cost a lot since it will be equipped with a premium chipset and many other features from Apple. If Apple does launch the device, then we can also expect new launches and other things in Apple Arcade as well which is currently not up to the mark in regards to its competition like Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo.

Leaks and rumors for iPhone SE are coming out almost every day ever since Apple has launched the new MacBook Pro lineup. As per the latest news from industry insider Ross Young, it seems almost confirmed that Apple is going to use the iPhone 8 display of 4.7-inch, which is an LCD screen, and add 5G capabilities to it. The new handset will be sold as iPhone SE 3 in 2022 and will have 5G connectivity. The insider also confirms that the phone will come with an iPhone XR style screen design, which means that instead of broad bezels.

The iPhone SE 2022 would come with a small notch on the top which will house the camera and sensors. There were also rumors that the iPhone SE 3 would come in another variant where the screen size will vary between 5.7-inch and 6.1-inch. As per the new details, 2022 would only see the launch of the 4.7-inch screen iPhone SE, while the next iPhone SE 2024 will be launched in the screen size of 5.7 and 6.1-inch. Both these new variants will also have an LCD screen but in a bigger size.

However, it is still not confirmed if they will continue to launch iPhone SE in the two years gap like before or if they will launch it in 2023 in the bigger screen size. An iPhone XR-like screen and a better design with 5G are almost confirmed to come in the new variant. Another rumor was about the launch of the iPhone SE PLus in 2022, but that is still unconfirmed.
