TikTok's New Rival TakaTak Launched By MX Player

The Indian government banned 59 Chinese apps earlier this month, including the popular short video-sharing app TikTok. The demand for local apps has skyrocketed ever since. One after another competitive apps are coming to the market after TikTok was banned in India. Now, MX Player has launched an app similar to TikTok in India called 'TakaTak'.

TikTok's New Rival TakaTak Launched By MX Player
 

The app is now available in the google play store and the Android users can go to the Play Store and download the app. It is expected to be available in the Apple Store soon. The latest app is running on version 1.0.1 and the company claimed the app received 50,000+ downloads in a very short time. The app has received a whopping 4.3 rating on the Play Store so far. 



Users may not get the same benefits as TikTok in this app. Because the Chinese platform made it much easier for users to entertain as well as earn money. The downloads can happen quickly, but you need to be very careful before using apps now. You need to know if your shared data is secure. There are a number of TikTok rival apps like Chingari, Mitron, Roposo, and their download has also increased a lot. On the other hand, the Chingari app is rated 4.7 out of 5 on Google Play Store, and the app is available in the Google Store as well as the Apple Store. The company also claimed that the app has surpassed 25 lakh downloads from about 6 lakh downloads in ten days. TikTok's rival, the Mitron app also has been reached more than 1 crore downloads on Google Play Store. Due to the non-availability of TikTok on Play Store and Apple's App Store, there is no certainty as to whether the app will be re-launched in the country in future. 

Redmi Laptop May Be Released In India Soon. Price tipped to be under 20K

Redmi branded laptops expected to be launched in India soon with price tipped to be under 20K!. Report mentions that there will be three possible launch Windows.


Chinese smartphone manufacturer Xiaomi recently launched the Mi Notebook laptops in India, marking its entry into the laptop segment of the country. However, while the Mi Notebooks aren’t anywhere near the affordable price-range, looks like Xiaomi is planning to bring budget laptops under Redmi branding in India soon.

Redmi Laptop May Be Released In India Soon. Price tipped to be under 20K

A TechPP report claims that Xiaomi could launch affordable RedmiBooks in India that could start at less than Rs 20,000 mark and go as high as Rs 33,000— beyond which is the Mi Notebook territory. Xiaomi is planning to market this for students and budget consumers. Notably, the company is yet to confirm so take the report with a pinch of salt.

According to the report, Redmi laptops with Intel Core i3 processor could start below Rs 25,000 whereas the other RedmiBooks with lower chips could start below Rs 20,000 price point. Reportedly, there could be Redmi laptops with older generation Core i5 chips. While these processors are underpowered when compared to the new Intel chips, these will keep the cost low and might be enough to get the job done for the targeted budget consumers.


Furthermore, the report says that the Redmi laptops will be manufactured in India and will be different from their Chinese counterparts. These will have various coloured chassis and have more plastic parts to keep the prices low. Also, the report says that these will not be Chromebooks but likely to run on Windows 10 (Home) operating system.

The Redmi-branded laptops could launch in India in the coming months. The report mentions three possible launch windows— the first one is in mid-July, the second one is between late July and early August, and the last one is close to India’s Independence Day on August 15.

Xiaomi has not mentioned anything regarding the arrival of budget laptops in India, but the idea doesn’t look far fetched. Also, if the company brings laptops targeted at budget customers, it makes sense for it to launch them under well-known budget Redmi branding. If and when Xiaomi decides to launch the RedmiBooks in India, it will have a presence in two ranges of laptops in India— premium and affordable.

How to Prevent Eye Strain When Using a Computer

Now a days most of the people are working from home due to lock downs due Cooronavirus outbreak, it becomes even more important to prevent eye strain. Commercial office spaces tend to have better furniture and lighting than your makeshift work-from-home setup and that can contribute significantly to increasing eye strain. However, there are lots of easy ways to prevent eye strain and we're going to tell you how to reduce this.

20-20-20 rule: How to prevent eye strain

Improve your posture

The way you are sitting could be the reason behind your tired eyes, according to the American Occupational Safety and Health Association. Before looking for software or hardware solutions to your problem, check if your posture is correct. In many cases, the display is either above or below eye level, which leads to incorrect posture.

If you're craning your neck or slouching to look at the screen, you're straining your eyes. Try using a laptop stand or even just a pile of books to raise the screen to eye level. If the screen is above eye level, try raising your chair to bring the screen to eye level. Once you've done this, try some apps that will further help you reduce eye strain.

The 20-20-20 rule

The 20-20-20 rule is quite effective at reducing eye strain. Simply put, after every 20 minutes of looking at the screen, look at an object that is at least 20 feet away for 20 seconds. 

Keeping track of those twenty minute breaks isn't easy though, particularly when you're in the middle of work, so we suggest you try a free Web app called Protect Your Vision. Here's how to use it.

  1. Open the Protect Your Vision website > click 20-20-20 > select your break schedule from the drop-down menu. You may go with 20-20-20 (recommended) or 60-5 (five-minute break every hour) or Custom (where you can choose the duration of each break and the interval between breaks).
  2. Once your break schedule is selected, click the black button labelled "Request permission and test notification" > Allow (Chrome) or Show for this session (Firefox) > Start PYV. The website requires desktop notifications because that's how it reminds you to take a break. Desktop notifications are supported on Firefox, Chrome and Safari.
  3. Now a timer will appear, showing you the time till your next break. You may disable sound notifications by clicking the volume icon next to the timer. Once you see a notification, click it and then click Start break. Now your screen will turn dark for the duration of the break. You should look at a point at least 20 feet away. Alternatively, you may click Start Eyes Gymnastics on your screen and the app shows you some eye exercises (move eyes up and down, etc.) that you can quickly go through to reduce eye strain.


Protect Your Vision is a nice app but if you want something that automatically darkens your screen every 20 minutes, then try FadeTop on Windows or TimeOut on Mac. They accomplish the same result, and don't require you to click on any button to start the break.

Cut Out The Blue Light

According to the Vision Council, one of the largest groups of manufacturers and suppliers in the optical industry, blue light is one of the causes of digital eyestrain. To make your monitor eye-friendly, you can go into the settings and tweak the various options to reduce eye strain.

The first thing you should do is set the brightness and contrast to a comfortable level. If your workplace doesn't have plenty of natural light, then you might want to cut out the blue light on your display to give your eyes some much-needed relief. You can do this manually by changing your display settings, but that isn't for everyone.

The next step is to cut out the blue light from the display to reduce eye strain. This is most effective when you are working under artificial light, and not that useful for those who work during the day in rooms with lots of natural light.

Reduce blue light on Android

  1. On stock Android, you can go to Settings > Display.
  2. Now tap Night Light.
  3. This is where you can set how long you want the smartphone's display to cut out blue light and adjust colour temperature if needed.
  4. Note that this feature may not be available with the same name on various custom versions of Android, where it may be called Night Mode, Reading Mode, Night Shield, Eye Care, etc. Be sure to check your phone's display settings thoroughly to find this option.

Reduce blue light on iOS

  1. On iOS you can go to Settings > Display & Brightness.
  2. Now tap Night Shift.
  3. Here you can schedule it according to your preference and adjust the colour temperature too.

Reduce blue light on macOS

  1. On macOS, click the Apple logo on the top-left of the screen (it's on the top bar).
  2. Now click Display.
  3. Click the Night Shift tab and select the duration you want to cut out the blue light for. We've set this to the entire day, but you can set it according to your preference. You also get an option to select how warm or cool you want the colour temperature to be.

Reduce blue light on Windows

  1. On Windows 10, open the Start Menu.
  2. Click the gear icon on the left side.
  3. Click System and then Display.
  4. Now enable Night Light. Here you can adjust the schedule and colour temperature.
  5. If your version of Windows does not have this feature, you can get the job done by downloading an app such as Flux.

work from home unsplash Work From Home

Hardware
While the solutions mentioned above should be good enough for most situations, you might want to consider buying gadgets with anti-glare screens to reduce the strain on your eyes. If you haven't done this, you can buy yourself an anti-glare screen coating. We tested an anti-glare filter from 3M on our laptops and found it to be quite effective.

If you are using a device with a reflective screen, you may find it hard to see your screen if it is facing the light. Anti-glare filters are useful in these situations and the one from 3M does the job as advertised. It takes some time to attach to your screen but that's a one-time hassle. Good quality anti-glare coatings cost anywhere between Rs. 1,000 and Rs. 2,000.

If that isn't an option, we suggest you visit an ophthalmologist and get yourself a good pair of anti-glare glasses. Some brands (like Gunnar) also make glasses that are supposed to be particularly helpful for "computer vision syndrome."  

These tips should have helped you reduce eye strain.

Difference between driver.get() and driver.navigate().to() methods!

First step in any automation Test script is to launch the browser and navigate to the Application Under Test. When it comes to Selenium, there are 2 methods.

            1. driver.get("URL")
            2. driver.navigate().to("URL")

Difference between driver.get() and driver.navigate().to() methods


Some of the Automation Testers are confused with these 2 statements. This post details the difference between these 2 methods.

Method#01: driver.get()

This method navigates to the specific URL and wait until the page is completely loaded. This method makes the WebDriver wait until the page is completely loaded and then returns control to your script. The main reason for using this method is that the modern days Websites are heavily using AJAX and we are not sure how long it'll take the page to completely load.

Return Type of this method is "void"






Method#02: driver.navigate().to()

This method just navigates to the application URL and it'll not wait until the page is loaded. This method is not recommended for modern days application as they are heavily depending on AJAX/ API Calls.

But, this method maintains the navigation history in Cookies and can be used whenever needed.

Return Type Method is "Navigation" where "Navigation" is an interface. This Navigation interface maintains History of the browser actions your performed post the execution of this method.

Examples:

driver.navigate().forward()
driver.navigate().back()
driver.navigate().refresh()

Syntax: driver.navigate().to("http://software-testing-community.blogspot.com/")

How to Make Group Calls With WhatsApp on Android, iPhone

WhatsApp is one of the most popular mobile app for letting people connect with their loved ones. But the instant messaging app isn't limited to just text messages, and offers a way to connect you with a group of people either over voice or video. This is useful if you want to speak with multiple contacts at once — may be to discuss something important or just to know their well-being. Group calling on WhatsApp is available across platforms. So no matter whether you have an Android device or an iPhone, you can make group calls. Also, the chat app supports cross-platform group calls, which means you can speak with your friends regardless of the platform they are using.


How to Make Group Calls With WhatsApp on Android, iPhone





Introduced in July 2018, group calling on WhatsApp is an important and useful feature for a large number of people who don't want to understand how other group calling apps like Zoom or Google Duo can be used to make group calls. The ease that the Facebook-owned company offers through its group calling feature is indeed what has attracted various users. You can add a new participant to an existing group call or start a call with multiple members directly from your one of your group chats.

All this shows how group calling is an integral part of WhatsApp. But how can you make a group call? Here's our step-by-step guide on how to make a group call with WhatsApp. This guide provides you with steps for Android and iPhone. We've also distinguished parts to let you understand how you can make a group voice call and group video call with your contacts using WhatsApp. So, let's get started.

Before beginning with the steps, it's important to note that WhatsApp allows group calling with up to four participants at once. This means that you can't make a group call with more than three of your contacts on WhatsApp on any platform.

How to make group calls on WhatsApp for Android



  1. Open WhatsApp on your phone.
  2. Tap the Calls tab from the bar that includes tabs for Chats and Status.
  3. Now, hit the call button from the bottom-right corner of the screen.
  4. You'll get a list of contacts with whom you can connect through a WhatsApp call.
  5. Tap the New group call button.
  6. The app will now let you select your contacts from the list with whom you want to speak through a group call. Remember that you can add only three of your contacts for a group call.
  7. Now, you'll see circles of the contacts that you've selected for your group on top of the list.
  8. You can then choose between a video and voice call by tapping the phone and video camera button, respectively.

At any time during the call, you can also add new participants — as long as this is within the limit of four participants — by tapping the contacts icon from the top-right corner of the screen.

How to make group calls on WhatsApp for iPhone


  1. Open WhatsApp on your iPhone.
  2. Tap the Calls section from the bottom bar that includes Status, Calls, Camera, and Chats sections.
  3. Now, press the call button from the top-right corner of the screen.
  4. A list will pop-up on your screen that will include all your WhatsApp contacts.
  5. You'll now need to press the New Group Call button that's available just above your WhatsApp contacts list.
  6. The app will now provide you with the list from where you can select participants for your group call. Just like Android, you can add only up to three of your contacts for a group call.
  7. Once you've selected participants for your group call, you can either make a voice call by tapping the phone button or a video call by tapping the video camera button.

You can, of course, add any additional participants to your group call — until the list reaches four participants — by tapping the contacts icon from the top-right corner of the screen.

  1. Open WhatsApp on your phone.
  2. Select a group from where you want to make a group call.
  3. Now, tap the call button from the top-right corner of the screen.

WhatsApp also recently brought an update for the groups that have four or less members. That update made it easier for users to make group calls as it allowed a group audio call simply by tapping the phone button or a group video call by hitting the video camera button — just like how you can make an audio or video call to an individual on WhatsApp.
