Google is preparing to launch Offline Retail Stores in India

Alphabet is planning on introducing a Google-branded brick-and-mortar store in India to sell a gamut of Google’s products and showcase it as an experience center

In brick-and-mortar stores, consumers can speak with employees and ask questions about the products or services.
Brick-and-mortar stores can offer experience shopping whereby consumers can test a product

"A team from Google from the US was here in India last week. They comprised of four-five members senior management team from the US,"
β€œThey had visited New Delhi and Mumbai as part of their India study for the store opening and visited some malls in both the cities"

Apple introduced its own Apple-branded and operated stores last year in Mumbai and New Delhi.

Now, Google is also looking at New Delhi and Mumbai as possible locations for its first store in India.

Google I/O 2024 holding on May 14
The event was teased with a puzzle, and later announced to the public after getting solved, but no details were provided. Here's some rough estimation according to past events, though everyone should take this information with a grain of salt.

It's likely that we would get the new Pixel 8a, alongside some previews of the new features in Android 15 that are yet to be added. There might also be some new updates for the existing Google products that we all know well.

Xiaomi smartphones offer the Worst Charging Solution

You may have seen Xiaomi smartphones failing to boot/charge after battery goes to 0%
Even the flagship Mi 13 Ultra with its 90W charger or mid-rangers like the Poco F5 does NOT charge at all but charges through PC/Laptop or using a 5W charger

Internally this problem is known as "PD Handshake not completing" (Although it did NOT even go to the handshake point) & occurs only when using a Xiaomi stock charger (30W+) & cable

Xiaomi cables are NOT PD certified but instead are PD compliant and they even implement DRM on their cable πŸ’€ which is being managed via a binary called "batterysecret"

Here's what basically happens:
The phone tries to boot as a "charger" boot target, but since the voltage is too low, it's in blackout mode

Since there's literally NO pumping going on, it simply runs in normal USB power supply mode, which is basically the same as it is connected to a laptop and waiting for it to even get 1%

Since the phone does NOT reach userspace, there's absolutely NO way for it to start authentication at all ({ANDROIDBOOT_ROOT}/vendor/bin/batterysecret), it's not even a bootloader-level problem, it's handled in "android" itself

Another issue is that the Xiaomi charger is "extremely" slow to respond, causing USB collapse to happen that is disabled in the kernel but NOT in UEFI
Thus it causes constant USB disconnect & the phone NEVER charges

Xiaomi-PD is literally renamed PPS because Xiaomi could NOT afford to pay for certification & it is NOT USB PD certified either

While this problem is "kinda" fixed in the Xiaomi 14 series, older devices will NOT get a QoL update for this issue

Microsoft-owned social platform, LinkedIn is planning to add in-built Games to boost the time people are spending on the platform

One idea LinkedIn appears to be experimenting with involves player scores being organised by places of work, with companies getting β€œranked” by those scores.

It will be doing so by tapping into the same wave of puzzle-mania that helped simple games like Wordle find viral success and millions of players

LinkedIn spokesperson has confirmed the news of gaming coming to their platform

Apple to pay $490 million in lawsuit claiming Tim Cook defrauded shareholders by concealing iPhone demand fall

Apple has settled a class-action lawsuit for $490 million, alleging CEO Tim Cook concealed declining iPhone demand in China, resulting in a $9 billion revenue forecast slash due to U.S.-China trade tensions in January 2019. Pending approval from U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, the settlement covers investors who bought shares two months before Cook's comments about China's market outlook. The case is In re Apple Inc Securities Litigation, No. 19-02033, in the Northern District of California.

The settlement concludes accusations that Cook misled shareholders, leading to a 10% share drop and $74 billion market value loss. Despite the substantial settlement, equivalent to under two days of Apple's net income, the company's market value has surged to over $2.6 trillion since the incident in January 2019.

Google's Gemini could power iPhone's Generative AI Features
Source

Apple is in talks with Google to build Google’s Gemini artificial intelligence engine into its iPhones to power the NEW AI features coming to iOS
Apple also recently held discussions with OpenAI & has considered using its model as well

Since early last year, Apple has been testing its own large language model (LLM) β€” the technology behind generative AI β€” codenamed 'Ajax'
Some employees also have been trying out a basic chatbot dubbed 'Apple GPT'

However, Apple's LLM is inferior to Google's Gemini or OpenAI's GPT model, thus Apple will either use the GPT or Gemini
It’s unlikely that any deal with any partner will be announced until June's WWDC event

Samsung Galaxy S24 series AI features are also powered by Google's Gemini only

Upcoming iOS 18 will include AI features such as a NEW version of Siri that is more intelligent as powered by an LLM, New AI features for Apple Music, Xcode, Spotlight Search, iMessages etc
