A few days back, Windows users were facing an issue where the attackers could execute malicious code in the system and make changes in the existing programs. The issue also allowed the attackers to create a new user account with full privileges. After recognizing the issues, Windows created an update for the users and released it publically. 

Although the update fixed the issue but created another issue for the users where they were unable to connect their system with the printers. The update was rolled out for all the systems running on Windows 7 to Windows 10 and once the update was installed, users were unable to use the printer. The users stated that the system was unable to detect the printer and connect with it. The same issue was also reported for multiple users after installing the update. The update was meant to clock an execution code in the Print spooler, which is known as PrintNightmare.

The issue was specifically reported by more than a thousand zebra printer users. Some of the users tried to roll back the update and have reported that as soon as it was done, the printer started working like before, confirming that the issue was with the update. The Windows update KB5004945 caused the printing issue and the update for the issue will be released in 1-2 business days. For now, the users have been asked to uninstall the update or reinstall the printer drivers again with the administrator account.

A new feature for WhatsApp has been introduced to the Beta users which allows the users to check the shared link in the chat. The feature is called large link preview and will soon be released for iOS and Android users. The details were leaked by WABetaInfo and they also confirmed that the new feature is currently under development and it may take a while before it is publically released. In this feature, the users will be able to view a large high-resolution preview of the link in WhatsApp before opening the link. 

For websites that do not have a high-resolution preview, smaller thumbnails will be displayed. Apart from that other two major developments from WhatsApp is the introduction of disappearing images. In this, the users will be able to send an image to another user which will disappear after it has been viewed once. However, it is still not clear if the new feature will also have the screenshot detection feature which will stop any users from taking the screenshot of the image before it is being removed automatically.

Another update in the app that is still in development is the green color notification for Android.

Apart from these, there are a lot more updates coming up from Whatsapp where a lot of new features are currently being developed for the app.

Playstation 5 is without a doubt one of the most popular gaming consoles right now. In fact, the demand for the next-generation console has surpassed its supply in the stores. Initially, when the console was launched, there was a shortage of gaming consoles both on the online and offline stores, due to which Sony was unable to restock the consoles on time. Similar was the condition in India when the console was made to pre-order online. After it went out of stock it took a long time for the company to provide a restock for the same. 

However, as per new reports, Sony will open the pre-orders for the next generation Playstation 5 once again in Indian on July 12, 2021. The previous restock of the Playstation 5 was consumed on June 23 and since then the company will be taking the pre-orders again. It is also expected that apart from the pre-orders, the gaming console will also be restocked in the offline stores and online stores like Amazon, Croma, Reliance Digital, and more. 

Now since the pre-orders went out in minutes the last time, it is expected that the same will happen this time as well. The pre-orders can be made at 12 PM on all the offline stores and stores like Vijay Sales. However, it does seem like that the pre-order demand this time will also surpass the number of units Sony is going to provide for sale. So if you are interested in purchasing a Playstation 5, you should not miss the pre-order opportunity this time.

The Galaxy S21 FE has now been spotted on TENAA with the entire specification of the smartphone. It seems that the phone has been completely developed and will soon launch in the market by October, which is a slight delay due to a shortage of supply for chipsets.

The screen will have an in-display fingerprint scanner and an image on Twitter has also been leaked, providing a complete look at the smartphone.

When 5G phones were initially launched global, they came with an expensive price tag. Especially in a country like India, the price of the smartphone was very high, even when 5G has not yet arrived in the country. After a while, many companies started to launch their 5G smartphones at a much lower price tag, making it easier for people to purchase them. Now, Realme is going even further by offering Indian customers a 5G smartphone, under the price tag of Rs 10,000. 

The company brought 5G through their smartphone Realme X50 Pro 5G and now they are coming up with smartphones that have 5G features when they have been priced at above Rs 15,000. The company has now confirmed that they will be offering a new smartphone in the Indian market, which will be 5G ready and will cost just under Rs 10,000. The announcement was made by CEO Madhav Sheth on a 5G webinar. The company is also planning to launch the popular GT series of the Realme smartphone in the Q3 of this year. 

The most awaited in the series is the Realme GT 5G, which offers a big 6.34-inch AMOLED screen with a 120HZ refresh rate and a touch sampling rate of 360Hz. Also, there will be multiple GT variants coming to the market. If the company is able to launch the 5G smartphone under Rs 10,000 category, it will completely change the way smartphones are designed and offered in this range. It will also make other companies push forward in terms of what they offer in this budget range, leading to more options for the customers.

There are a lot of smartphone manufacturers that have started using the Dimensity range of chipsets in their smartphones. One of the most popular among them is the Mediatek Dimensity 1200 SoC, which seems to be an affordable chipset for performance smartphones. A few months back, Poco confirmed the upcoming smartphone Poco F3 GT and it seems that the smartphone will now soon launch in the Indian market. 

The phone is expected to be the rebranded version of the Redmi K40 Gaming edition. The company has recently posted a new teaser on Twitter, which certainly hints that the phone will soon be launched, probably by the end of this month. The looks and design of the smartphone are very similar to that of the Redmi K40 Gaming edition. One of the major features of the phone would be the screen that will support a 120Hz refresh rate. Apart from that, the phone will also have at least a 5,000 mAh battery and a 67W fast charging support if the rebranded version comes with similar features. 

Another rumor that has been in the air for a while for this smartphone, is the addition of gaming triggers which is a great addon for mobile gamers. It will only be confirmed when the phone is launched, but the addition of triggers would really be a great idea in this range. For now, we can expect Poco to bring a really feature-packed and performance-friendly phone at the best possible value for money price.

It was also said that the company could be launching the new Macbook Air in the year 2022. Now, it has been claimed on Twitter that the new Macbook Air 2022 would come with the M2 chipset which is still under development. The details were leaked on the Twitter account Dylandkt, where it was also claimed that the M1X chipset will only be used in the powerful Macbook Pro variants.

The new Macbook Air will go through a complete design change and will come with multiple color options like the new Mac. M2 is suspected to be a lower-end chipset when compared to the M1X chipset as per the information that has been leaked. However, the previous leaks did suggest that Apple is looking to develop a chip that can be a lot more powerful than the previous generation.

It would be interesting to see if the company is going to release the machine with just M2 or if they are also developing a new and more powerful chipset at the same time. Apple has not provided any information on the same but the launch of the new Macbook Air is almost confirmed through multiple leaks and it is just a matter of time before we see some leaked screenshots and details for the same. Till that time, it will be interesting to see how Apple decides to continue with the future of the M1 chipset.
