Nothing Team scammed their loyal Nothing Phone 1 and Phone 2 users.
When the sale started, just a week ago, Carl Pei advertised that Phone 3 will be available for around Rs.35,000 to users who exchange their Phone 1 and Phone 2. Nothing advertised it so much such that they even pushed the offers through System notification on Phone 1 and Phone 2
So people utilized that offer and exchanged their Phone 1 and Phone 2 devices just to find that "only one week later", the same Phone 3 could be purchased for the same price without exchanging their old device.

Samsung camera fix 👇
To make any hardware upgrade shine, Samsung needs to ditch Stock camera — not the Camera UI.
Problem:
1️⃣ Stock camera = heavy processing, fake detail.
2️⃣ Pro RAW = pure sensor, but single frame = noisy & moiré mess. Editing just kills more detail.
3️⃣ Default output stuck at 12MP.
4️⃣ Expert RAW (OneUI 7) was the sweet spot: multi-frame RAW stacking + higher bit depth → cleaner shadows, natural texture, ND-like HDR.
5️⃣ OneUI 8 broke it. Expert RAW now feels closer to stock → more noise, less natural texture, HDR not the same. The unique look is gone.
✨️Solution (simple):
• Make Expert RAW the default stock pipeline with 24MP default output.
• Extend Virtual Aperture to all lenses → fully replace Portrait mode.
• Upgrade Pro RAW with burst stacking (option) to cut noise & moiré.
• Add Fast Capture mode.
• Add Long-Range zoom mode.
● Explanation:
Expert RAW today is capped at 20x.
So Samsung should split stock cam into sections:
🔹 0.6x–20x → Expert RAW pipeline
(multi-frame, natural HDR, ND-like look).
– Auto point-and-shoot (RAW/HEIC/JPEG)
– All manual controls & Expert RAW features → this becomes the true stock camera.
🔹 20x–100x → Long-Range section
(stacked telephoto + optional AI assist: medium, maximum, etc.).
Fast Capture Mode:
• Motion Shot for moving subjects
• Fast “old Portrait” option for quick snaps
(yes, quality drops a bit, but it’s fast).
• Pro Mode RAW for pure RAW
✨️Result?
📸 Point-and-shoot users → natural, sharp photos every time.
🎨 Pro users → real 16-bit RAW, manual control in one app, pure RAW option still there.
🔭 Telephoto lovers → usable long-range shots without cartoon zoom.
📷 Portrait → taken to the next level with Virtual Aperture, while the old Portrait mode reserved for fast capture.
Samsung already had the formula on S25 Ultra Expert RAW (OneUI 7).
They just need to bring it back & make it standard.
✨️Conclusion:
Samsung fix is simple 👇
Stock cam = overprocessed
Pro RAW = noisy & moiré mess
Expert RAW on S25U OneUI 7 was perfect, natural texture, ND-like HDR, minimal noise. Then OneUI 8 ruined it.
Solution?
Make Expert RAW the stock pipeline, extend Virtual Aperture to all lenses, add Long-Range mode, Fast Capture mode & stacked Pro RAW.

The UK government has issued a new order to Apple to create a backdoor into its cloud storage service, this time targeting only British users’ data
Join - @tech_zone40
The report reveals that, in early September, the UK Home Office demanded that Apple creates a way for officials to access encrypted iCloud backups. Unlike its previous order, the latest request focuses on the iCloud data of British citizens specifically. The demand is designed to aid law enforcement with investigations into terrorism and child sexual abuse.
The Home Office's previous request from January sought access to encrypted user data worldwide, which triggered a diplomatic clash between the UK and U.S. governments. The Trump administration pressured the UK to discard the order and, in August, director of national intelligence Tulsi Gabbard said that the UK had "agreed to drop" its demand, at least with regards to the encrypted data of American citizens.
In February, Apple withdrew iCloud's Advanced Data Protection feature in the UK and raised public objections to the request. It also registered a complaint with the Investigatory Powers Tribunal and supported a legal challenge from the campaign group Privacy International and Liberty.

Samsung Galaxy Ring is swelling due to a battery problem
While rare, it’s concerning because the ring’s small, snug design can make it risky.

Microsoft released Windows 11 version 25H2!
The 25H2 update will be delivered as an enablement package (eKB). This means that it contains all the recently announced features in Windows 11, version 24H2.
The update features significant advancements in build and runtime vulnerability detection, leveraging AI-assisted secure coding.
The 25H2 version is also expected to be lighter by removing legacy features like PowerShell 2.0 and the Windows Management Instrumentation command line, or WMIC.
Business users will receive new features. Enterprise customers will be able to use Wi-Fi 7, and IT admins will be able to remove certain pre-installed Microsoft Store apps through Microsoft Intune or Group Policy.
Version 25H2 is now available via Windows Autopatch and the Microsoft 365 admin center, and is being rolled out to consumers in phases.
