  • Insurance Policy For Electric Scooters In India

    Insurance Policy For Electric Scooters In India

    The government of our country recently created a goal of going “completely electric” to limit the spread of pollution. India is one of the first five countries globally which use conventional fuels. Due to this, the environment faces a grave threat, which is why electric scooters are being promoted more and more these days. Having proper insurance if you have an electric scooter is important as well because your scooter is an asset. When you claim the insurance in case of damage, you get reimbursed.

    Some of the main benefits of getting your electric scooter insured include:

    • Getting insurance for your electric scooter complies with the government’s law. The government requires every vehicle to be registered and insured.
    • It helps you financially in case of accidents and mishaps. The components of electric scooters are very expensive and therefore, having insurance to cover the costs is very important.
    • Even if your electric scooter malfunctions or breaks down, the money will get reimbursed. Thus, an insurance policy saves you from spending money out of your pocket in case of accidents.
    • Go for a policy that offers full coverage at a reasonable price.
    • Prioritize going for digital-based insurance companies since they can be quickly acquired and easily claimed.
    • Compare the pros and cons of numerous policies before locking in on one.
    • Ensure that you are legally ready and responsible.
    • Read the fine print stating the terms and conditions thoroughly before making the purchase.

    DOCUMENTS NEEDED:

    • Proof of Identification – Voter’s ID Card, Aadhaar
    • Proof of Address – Passport, Driver’s License, Aadhaar
    • Recently-Captured Passport-Sized Photographs

    TYPES OF INSURANCES:

    There are generally two variants of electric scooter insurance in India. They are:

    • Third-Party Liability Insurance – Considered to be the main type of insurance, the third-party liability insurance protects the insured vehicle from any sort of financial as well as legal liability caused as a result of accidental damages.
    • Comprehensive Two Wheelers Insurance – This kind of insurance offers an extra layer of security and safety. This policy provides protects the insured vehicle from numerous natural as well as man-made disasters.

    WHY PURCHASE AN INSURANCE POLICY?

    There are two main reasons why you should get your electric scooter insured as soon as possible. They are:

    • Electric Scooters sport a heavy price tag and therefore, they should be insured to save money in case an accident takes place.
    • Electric scooters have high maintenance charges. They are quite powerful and therefore, need as much protection as they can get. An insurance policy guarantees that.

    Getting your electric scooter insured is both a logical and a sensible thing to do if you wish to save money in the long run. There are many insurance companies out there that offer electric scooter insurance. Do proper research and compare the plans before locking on a particular one.

  • Moon Dog Brewing launches Cocktail Spritz

    Moon Dog Brewing launches Cocktail Spritz

    From the team that continues to surprise and delight Australians with their famously flavourful beers, Moon Dog Brewing is entering the ready-to-drink cocktail market and launching Moon Dog Cooler in early 2022. Since launching Moon Dog back in 2010, the company has been known for pushing the boundaries when it comes to flavor and in releasing Moon Dog Cooler, they’re taking this to a whole new level.

    Moon Dog Cooler is a new range of juicy cocktail spritzes that will be hitting shelves in January 2022 with all the health benefits of lighter beverages, like seltzer, whilst still offering a complex finish.

    Inspired by retro cocktails and mixed by 3x Australian bartender of the year, Chris Hysted-Adams (former Black Pearl) these cocktails are destined to be a hit at the next get together, at the park or at home after a long day.

    “It was really fun jumping back into the world of cocktail making and experimenting with different natural flavors and emulsions to create something that stands out against hand-rruxed spritzes. It’s been something that I’ve been drinking a lot of in recent months and I’m chuffed to now share it with consumers on a national scale”, says Hysted-Adams.

    It’ll be $25 for a 4-pack of Moon Dog Cooler, they’ll be wrapped up into a 16-can carton, meaning that a slab will be $100 bucks.

    Moon Dog Cooler will also be widely available in pubs, clubs, and bars through the world’s first Moon Dog Fizzer Alcoholic Seltzer Post Mix Machine and will be available to take home from the Moon Dog online store and all good bottle shops.

    The range will kick off with two delicious cocktail spritzes that are bound to be fan favorites; Blood Orange, Finger Lime & Agave and Passion Fruit, Yellow Peach & Yuzu.

    Blood Orange, Finger Lime & Agave is a spritzy twist on a margarita that’s bursting with zesty blood orange, fresh finger lime and a hint of agave. Passion Fruit, Yellow Peach & Yuzu is a spritzy twist on a tropical punch that is bursting with juicy passion fruit, fresh peach and zesty yuzu.

    “The Blood Orange, Finger Lime & Agave Cocktail Spritz is the perfect spritz Margarita for summer; it’s super light and refreshing but with bold, punchy flavors. The Passion Fruit, Yellow Peach & Yuzu Cocktail Spritz is a perfectly balanced uber tropical punch that offers a natural juicy finish without being too sweet”, says Hysted-Adams.

    Moon Dog Cooler offers a delicious flavourful cocktail spritz that’s low carbs, low calories, low sugar, all natural, preservative free and vegan friendly. Like all Moon Dog products, Moon Dog Cooler is Australian made and owned.

    “What we’ve been able to achieve with Moon Dog Cooler is great; they’re super flavourful, complex and delicious cocktail spritzes and with low carbs, natural flavours and no added sugar. We’re offering consumers something that’s never really been done before – Wallah!” says Hysted-Adams.

    Moon Dog Cooler can be enjoyed straight out of the can or over some ice. If you’re feeling a little bit fancy we’d recommend dipping your wine glass in some salt for the Blood Orange, Finger Lime & Agave Cocktail Spritz, or garnish the Passion Fruit, Yellow Peach & Yuzu cocktail spritz with a passion fruit half.

  • PepsiCo launches the world’s first-ever nitrogen-infused cola

    PepsiCo launches the world’s first-ever nitrogen-infused cola

    The cola category has been around for over a century. While it’s had its share of flavor and packaging innovation, one thing has remained the same since the category’s inception – the bubbles. Pepsi is taking on its most ambitious feat yet, reimagining the cola experience with a massive innovation – Nitro Pepsi. Nitro Pepsi is the first-ever nitrogen-infused cola that’s actually softer than a soft drink – it’s creamy, smooth and has a mesmerizing cascade of tiny bubbles topped off by a frothy foam head.

    Nitro Pepsi will have you reconsider what you know about cola. Smaller bubbles, also infused with nitrogen, create an unbelievably smooth, creamy texture made possible by a unique widget placed at the bottom of every can. This is the first time this type of widget technology, often seen in beer and coffee products, is being applied to the cola category and creates the frothy, foamy, smooth texture unique to Nitro Pepsi. It does not look and taste like a traditional cola or soda, and in fact, it’s best consumed differently as well.

    While Nitro Pepsi is enjoyed from the can, there are a few steps you can take for optimal consumption. Nitro Pepsi is:

    • Best served cold, ideally without ice
    • Best “hard poured” or fully inverted into a tall glass
    • Best enjoyed sipped directly from the glass (rather than through a straw), allowing the unique foam head to leave a frothy, foamy mustache

    Nitro Pepsi will be available in two delicious flavors, Draft Cola and Vanilla Draft Cola, in newly designed cans in both single-serve and 4-pack varieties.

    “While soda has been a beverage of choice for so many consumers over the past century, some people still cite heavy carbonation as a barrier to enjoying an ice-cold cola.  With this in mind, we wanted to come up with a new way for people to enjoy delicious Pepsi cola, but with a new experience around the bubbles,” said Todd Kaplan, VP of Marketing – Pepsi. “Nitro Pepsi is a first-of-its-kind innovation that creates a smooth, creamy, delicious taste experience for fans everywhere. Much like how nitrogen has transformed the beer and coffee categories, we believe Nitro Pepsi is a huge leap forward for the cola category and will redefine cola for years to come.”

    Pepsi announced its intent to use this nitro technology in 2019 and has been working tirelessly to build out this innovation ever since. Finally, Nitro Pepsi will be available nationwide on March 28. Accompanying the roll-out will be a fully integrated marketing campaign including a new national television commercial that reinforces the uniquely smooth and creamy experience of Nitro Pepsi. In addition, fans will be able to try Nitro Pepsi ‘on tap’ for the first time beginning March 25 in the Sky Lounge at The High Roller Observation Wheel at THE LINQ Promenade on the Las Vegas Strip.

  • Android users will love this hidden Gboard trick for sharing images

    Android users will love this hidden Gboard trick for sharing images

    Android’s Gboard virtual keyboard is full of tricks and is quite versatile. You can even set it up to “float” all over the screen making it easier to type with one hand. There are several different ways you can set up Gboard and the one that this writer uses allows a long-press to type numbers and punctuation instead of having to open another keyboard.

    There is another Gboard “trick” that the app has up its digital sleeves that is perfect for those attaching an image to an email or a message. Gboard will allow you to make a copy of the image and keep it stored on Gboard until you need to paste it. It certainly is not time-consuming and could save you time and effort in the future.

    Ready? Here’s what you need to do to enable this feature. First, open Gboard by tapping on any text field that is open. On a Pixel, you can press the Google Search field at the bottom of the home screen. On other Android models, you can open the messages app and tap the text field as though you are going to send a new message.

    If there is a clipboard icon at the top row of the keyboard, press on it. If not, go to the three-dot menu icon on the right of Gboard’s top row. Tap it. Now tap on the small toggle switch on the top row of Gboard to enable the feature.

    The last step is to open the settings menu on Gboard. You can tap the settings “gear” icon on the top of the keyboard. Tap on Clipboard and you’ll see three toggle switches. Make sure that they are all toggled on.

    Okay, so now your Gboard app is all set. When you see an image on your Android browser that you want to share via an email or message, long-press on it and select the “Copy image” option. If you own a Pixel and you want to copy an image from an Android app that doesn’t offer a built-in copy option for images (such as Google Photos and Twitter), you can open the phone’s Overview area and long-press on any image to get an option to copy it.

    Next, open the messaging or email app you are using such as Gmail or Messages, and find the thread or message you want to place the image in. Gboard will usually show a recommended placement of the image in the top bar at the center of the email or message. This process will also work with screenshots.

    If Gboard doesn’t show a recommended placement for your image, tap on the clipboard icon in Gboard to retrieve your saved image. Tap that image while in Gboard and it will show up as an attachment on your email or message.

    If you find that you are sharing certain images often, you can pin them in Gboard and have them ready for a quick two-tap placement into your email and messages. To do this, copy the image or screenshot you want to share. Open Gboard by tapping on an open text field.

    Now, tap on the clipboard icon on Gboard’s top row or the three-dot menu on the keyboard. Select clipboard. Press and hold your finger on the image which will be on the top of Gboard’s clipboard list. From a menu of options, select “Pin.” The next time you open the clipboard, the pinned image will show up right under the most recently copied items.And that is all you need to do to more quickly and easily add images you want to share in your emails and messages!

    Elon Musk Leaves $200-Billion-Club Empty

    Geopolitical tensions affecting global stock markets have also cut into the fortunes of the world’s wealthiest.

    The richest man on the planet has lost a large chunk of his wealth after Tesla shares fell 13 percent on Wednesday.

    Until yesterday, Tesla CEO Elon Musk was the only person whose wealth exceeded $200 billion, leaving the club-of-the-over-$200-billionaires empty. In the past, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’ wealth also reached the $200 billion thresholds, the report says.

    Musk’s wealth reached a record $340.4 billion in November last year, after which he sold over $16 billion worth of stock and donated $5.7 billion to charity.

    Reddit is introducing a better way to find new communities and content

    If you use Reddit on your Android phone or your iPhone, you will probably notice a new Discover tab within the Reddit app, which strongly resembles an Instagram feed. Yes, it took two years, but finally, Reddit introduced a new significant change to its app. The idea of the new Discover tab is for Reddit users to find new communities and content more easily.

    According to Reddit, if you are logged into your Reddit account, the content in the new Discover tab will be strongly personalized for you. Based on the subreddits and the content you watch on Reddit, the app will recommend content that you may like. Users who are not logged in to the app will see content that is currently trending on the platform.

    As for why Reddit is introducing the Discover tab, Jason Costa, Reddit’s director of product for content and communities, told Engadget, “Discover is more meant to solve the breadth problem and really help people traverse the wide corpus of Reddit.” He also mentioned that during the early testing of the Discover tab, thanks to the new feature, one in five Reddit users joined at least one subreddit.

    Currently, the new Discover tab is available only on the mobile versions of Reddit. But, if the Reddit users like the new feature, Jason Costa said, “I could absolutely see it impacting other surface areas and maybe impacting the design language of Reddit.” This might imply that if Redditors like the new Discover tab, it may ultimately make its way to the platform’s web version.

    iOS users spend more than double on subscriptions compared to Android users

    A new research report has shown that subscriptions made from the App Store are more than double in terms of payment versus Google Play Store. In other words, this means iPhone and iPad users generally tend to spend more on subscriptions and buy more subscriptions in comparison to users on Android phones.

    The information comes from a Sensor Tower report that showcases subscriptions revenue for 2021. In numbers, the App Store subscriptions have generated $13.5 billion in revenue, while Google Play subscriptions — $4.8 billion, despite the fact that Google Play spending is growing at a fast rate.

    Overall, the App Store sees the most money spent on apps and subscriptions, as well as in-app purchases, compared to Google. The record-high $13.5 billion spent us for the top 100 non-gaming subscriptions globally.

    Subscription spending on the App Store grew 31% since last year when it was $10.3 billion. On the other hand, Google Play saw a whopping 78% growth to reach this $4.8 billion mark.

    These are the global numbers. However, US numbers are not that different though. The report is also giving some information on US-only spending, and the App Store has recorded $6 billion, while the Google Play Store, $2.5 billion.
    In terms of specific apps, Alphabet (Google’s parent company) is at the top of the charts with YouTube on the App Store and Google One on the Google Play Store. According to the report, YouTube generated 1.2 billion globally and $566.5 million in the U.S., while Google One achieved $1.1 billion globally and $698 million in the U.S. in 2021.

    Volkswagen Virtus Name Confirmed For Upcoming Compact Sedan, Debut In March

    Volkswagen India has announced the name of its upcoming compact sedan, and the model will be christened as ‘Virtus’ upon launch. The Volkswagen Virtus will be the second offering from the German automaker to be based on the MQB A0 IN platform after the Taigun and will replace the Volkswagen Vento in the company’s portfolio.

    Speaking about the Virtus name, Ashish Gupta, Brand Director, Volkswagen Passenger Cars India, said, “The new Volkswagen Virtus invigorates and impresses with its dynamic and emotional design language. The global sedan represents dynamism in its appeal and confidence in its character while retaining the core DNA of the brand. The Virtus is a perfect illustration of a sedan that meets the aspirations of customers in India with a truly global outlook.”

    Volkswagen says the name Virtus is a combination of the words ‘Virtuoso’ and ‘Virtues’ that signify “excellence, finesse, energy, and brilliance.” The upcoming sedan has been designed and developed for those who seek experiences, says the company. What we do know is that the VW Virtus would be a step above the Vento in every way. The car promises to be wider, longer, and well-appointed while bringing in a host of creature comforts. Going by the Taigun, we won’t be surprised to see feature-laden variants right from the entry-level trims.

    The Volkswagen Virtus for India is scheduled for debut on March 8, 2022, and the sedan is expected to arrive in two turbocharged petrol engine options and three transmission choices. The model will go on sale later in the year.

  • Bosch To Invest Additional 250 Million Euros In Chip Production Capacity

    Bosch To Invest Additional 250 Million Euros In Chip Production Capacity

    Bosch is investing an additional 250 million euros ($282.50 million) in extending chip production facilities at its Reutlingen plant in Germany, the company said on Tuesday.

    The Reutlingen site had previously been earmarked for 50 million euros of a total of 400 million that the supplier set aside last year for spending on chip production in 2022 across Reutlingen, Dresden and a testing facility in Penang, Malaysia.

    The largest part of that budget was allocated to expanding its 1-billion-euro Dresden factory producing 300-millimeter wafers, which the group inaugurated in June.

    The extra capacity at Reutlingen will come into force in 2025, Bosch said in a statement.

  • Fourth radio interface technology added to 5G standards

    Fourth radio interface technology added to 5G standards

    Members of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) have approved the fourth technology as part of ongoing standards development for 5G mobile services.

    Known as “DECT 5G-SRIT”, the new technology supports a range of uses, from wireless telephony and audio streaming to the industrial Internet of Things (IoT) applications, particularly in smart cities. It was added in the first revision to ITU’s key recommendation IMT-2020, which broadly encompasses fifth-generation, or 5G, networks, services, and devices.

    This ITU Radiocommunication Sector (ITU-R) Recommendation – providing a set of global technical 5G standards – reflects continual consultation and discussion among governments, companies, regulators, and other stakeholders dealing with radiocommunication worldwide.

    Along with fostering connectivity across borders, ITU promotes the global rollout of 5G as a key driver to achieve the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

    “New and emerging technologies like 5G will be essential to build an inclusive, sustainable future for all people, communities, and countries,” said ITU’s secretary-general, Houlin Zhao. “Under the ongoing International Mobile Telecommunications or IMT program, our diverse global membership continues its long-standing contribution to advance broadband mobile communications, furthering our mission to leave no one behind in connecting the world.”

    ITU – the United Nations agency entrusted with coordinating radio-frequency spectrum worldwide – has published the specifications for the new technology as RecommendationITU-R M.2150-1.

    The technology is designed to provide a slim but strong technical foundation for wireless applications deployed in a range of use cases, from cordless telephony to audio streaming, and from professional audio applications to the industrial Internet of Things (IoT) applications, such as building automation and monitoring.
    The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) laid the essential groundwork jointly with the DECT Forum, a worldwide association of the digital enhanced cordless telecommunications (DECT) or wireless technology industry.

    ITU’s radiocommunication director, Mario Maniewicz, said: “The highly collaborative process involves substantial input from and coordination with the ITU Member States, equipment manufacturers, network operators, standards development organizations, and the academic community. ITU provides a unique global framework to discuss the capabilities of new radio technologies.”

    Andreas Zipp, chairman of the DECT Forum, welcomed the addition of the new technology to IMT-2020. “Inclusion as part of ITU’s global 5G standards affirms the significance of this technology moving forward,” he said

    Other candidate radio interface technologies underwent the international mobile telecommunication (IMT) evaluation process over the past year, although only one qualified to be added at this stage.

    The revised IMT-2020 recommendation now includes the new standard, which European standards developers recognized could support 5G uptake everywhere.
    “The ETSI DECT standard received IMT-2000 approval more than twenty years ago,” noted ETSI’s chief technical officer, Adrian Scrase. “5G therefore presented an ideal opportunity to develop this new, non-cellular, radio standard, which is particularly suited for smart meters, Industry 4.0, building management systems, logistics and smart cities.”

    Based on the requirements set out in ITU’s evaluation process, the radio interface technology demonstrates worldwide compatibility in terms of operation, equipment, and roaming. Italso addresses the ultra-reliable low latency (URLLC) capability stipulated by IMT-2020 – the underlying global coordination framework for so-called 5G services.

    E-commerce startup raises $7 mln

    Vietnam e-commerce startup OpenCommerce Group has raised $7 million in a Series A funding round led by internet company VNG and venture capital firm Do Ventures.

    The Hanoi-based company, which provides tech solutions for sellers to create and manage their online stores with no inventory costs required, said it has supported 86,700 small and medium enterprises in 195 economies after two years of establishment.

    The company, which also offers print-on-demand services for sellers to create and distribute unique clothing designs, has recorded a gross merchandise value of $670 million to date.

    Quan Truong, co-founder, and CEO, said the company would use the funding to reach new sellers, with a focus on Europe, the U.S., China, and Southeast Asia this year.

    Vietnamese startups attracted investments of over $1.3 billion in 2021, four times the previous year’s figure, according to the National Agency for Technology Entrepreneurship and Commercialization Development.

    The country is set to exceed Thailand by 2025 to become the second-biggest internet economy in Southeast Asia with a scale of $57 billion, behind Indonesia at $146 billion, according to the e-Conomy Southeast Asia 2021 report by Google, Temasek, and Bain & Co.

  • Apple VR headset may come with Micro LED display, M1 chip

    Apple VR headset may come with Micro LED display, M1 chip

    Apple’s VR headset’s due date at the end of the year is inching ever closer, and the rumors surrounding the new device have been flowing in at a faster rate than usual. A mysterious new tip has made its way to us today, supposedly revealing details about the headset’s display and processing chip.

    The leak comes from Korean tech site ET News, and claims it has insider info that Apple is developing a Micro OLED chip for the device with TSMC:

    The parts industry expects Apple to release virtual reality (VR) headset terminal for the metaverse market as early as this year. It was understood that the performance test for VR headset production has been recently completed. Apple VR devices are equipped with micro-organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays.

    Apple cooperated with Taiwan’s TSMC with developing OLED displays for VR devices. Micro OLED displays do not require color filters since OLEDs are deposited directly on the chip wafer. Micro OLED is smaller, thinner, and more efficient.

    The same article also states that Apple is equipping the VR headset with an M1 chip, which also powers Apple’s latest iPads and MacBooks.

    Although the ET News leak has made its way into the tech mainstream media, it wouldn’t be too fast to put much stock in it. It further claims that Apple will be using the iPhone’s iOS operating system for the headset, despite an earlier fairly credible GitHub code leak showing clear references to a separate “Reality OS” operating system that the company is developing.

    The M1 chipset claim is slightly more credible, as we know that the device has already been tested with the processor Apple designed to replace Intel components on certain Mac models. In power, the M1 processor is comparable to the 5nm-node A14 Bionic chip that powers the iPhone 12 series but is complete with all of 16 billion transistors for maximum compact power and efficiency.

  • 6 Essential Tips to Get More Instagram Followers

    6 Essential Tips to Get More Instagram Followers

    Do you want more Instagram followers? Are you looking for ways to get your account seen by more people? If so, you’re in the right place. There are many different ways to increase the number of Instagram followers that you have. For example, you can buy Instagram followers via one of the best sites listed on Earthweb. In this blog post, we will discuss six essential tips on how to get real followers on Instagram. By following these tips, you can improve your chances of gaining more followers and expanding your reach on this social media platform. Keep reading for more information!

    Engage and Create Engagement

    The very first thing that you should focus on doing to get more Instagram followers is to engage as much as you can, as well as create engagement. Why is it important to engage? By engaging, you are getting your account out there, and the more people who see it, the higher the likelihood of someone clicking on your profile.

    In terms of creating engagement, there are many ways to go about doing this. For example, you can use Instagram Stories to create polls or ask your followers questions. You could even reply to comments on your posts, or comment on other people’s posts. Why? The higher your engagement levels, the more likely it is for Instagram to suggest your account or content.

    Post the Best Content

    That leads us to the second tip, which is to always post the best content. What is one thing that people are primarily looking for when using Instagram? To be entertained, and boring or bad content doesn’t help them to achieve that.

    In addition to being entertained, great content is shareable, which means that the better your content is, the higher the likelihood of it being shared. Not only does this increase your reach, but it also helps to gain followers, since someone might want to see more of what you are posting.

    Try Using Reels

    The next thing that you should consider doing if you want to increase the number of followers you have is to try using Reels. Reels are essentially short videos that have a soundtrack overlaying them. Typically, these videos are entertaining, funny, or give a few small tips.

    Why should you use Reels? Using Reels is a great way to increase your reach since they are shown to people who are not your followers. More than this, Reels are shown to users with specific interests, which means that you can target a specific audience. Research shows that many people are now basically just using Reels on Instagram.

    Observe the Competition

    One of the best things that you could do for the growth of your account is to observe the competition to see what they are doing. This is something that you should do regularly since content seems to change quite quickly on Instagram, especially if you are working within a niche, as you should be.

    To do this, all you need to do is choose an account that is doing very well within your niche, and keep an eye on the content that they are creating, how they are presenting it, what hashtags they are using, and more.

    Use Hashtags and UGC

    That leads us to the next tip which is to always use hashtags when you are posting on Instagram. Hashtags group content that has similar hashtags, which means that if you use them correctly, you will be able to target your audience. This is because if anyone searches for a hashtag that you have used, there is a chance your content will appear in the search results.

    Another great idea is to use user-generated content and to do that, you will need to create branded hashtags or start hashtag challenges. User-generated content is great because it increases engagement, as well as removes some of the weight from needing to consistently generate content yourself.

    Be Consistent

    Finally, perhaps the most important rule that you should follow is to always be consistent with what you are posting. This doesn’t necessarily just mean the quality of the content, it also means the frequency at which you post, so you don’t become irrelevant.

    More than this, it also means staying within a niche, having a specific aesthetic or theme with your posts, and keeping engagement levels up.
