The features will allow users to delete messages from particular dates, manage their connected devices and more. If you’re the owner of a Telegram group, you can mandate that whatever is shared on that particular group cannot be shared outside it. This gives users on the service a bit more privacy.

Telegram has also released a bunch of new features a few weeks ago. You can check them out here. 

New Telegram features have been announced

The company stated in a blog that, “They’re helping creators protect the content they publish on Telegram and ensure that it is available only for their intended audience. Group and Channel owners who want to keep their content members-only can restrict message forwarding from their chat, which also prevents screenshots and limits the ability to save media from posts.”. To enable the feature, all you need to do is open the Group or Channel Info page > Group / Channel Type > Restrict Saving Content. 

The blog post also goes on to state, “Public Groups and Channel Comments allow for discussions of any topic in massive communities with thousands of members. These groups are used for everything from defending democracy to chatting with fans, which is why we've added the ability to appear as a channel when sending messages in these chats.” 

There are a ton of new features that have been added to the app and you can check out the entire feature list, right here.

Upcoming Oppo foldable phone spotted on Geekbench with Snapdragon 888

Oppo is likely to introduce a new foldable phone at its Inno Day 2021 Event that’s set for December 14, and the same has allegedly been spotted on the Geekbench benchmark listing. This will be the second foldable phone from Oppo and probably the first to come with an in-ward folding screen as on Samsung’s Galaxy Fold series phones. 

This upcoming foldable phone, which will allegedly be called Find N, earlier made an appearance on the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) in China and was also recently spotted on the Camera FV-5 website. 

Oppo Foldable Phone Specifications 

According to the Geekbench listing, Oppo's foldable phone will be powered by Snapdragon 888 octa-core chipset. Qualcomm only recently announced the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 flagship for 2022 flagships, but the foldable phone from Oppo has understandably been under works for a while. The listing also mentions 12GB RAM and Android 11 as the base software. 

It is also rumoured to include an 8-inch LTPO display with 2K resolution and 120Hz variable refresh rate.

According to camera specifications leaked on the Camera FV-5 website, this foldable will include a 12.6 MP primary sensor, paired with an f/1.8 aperture lens and equipped with OIS. The front camera resolution is allegedly 8.1 MP and the sensor is paired with an f/2.4 lens and EIS. These could very well point to resolution after binning from 50MP rear and 32MP front sensors. 

At the Oppo Inno Day 2020 held last year, the company showcased a fascinating Oppo X that brandished a rollable display. The 6.7-inch screen on the phone could seamlessly unroll into a 7.4-inch display - a clever way to avoid the notorious foldable crease. This upcoming foldable phone, which is rumoured to be named Find N, could be a more mainstream phone with an inward folding screen that should be available to the masses.

In a cosmic twist of fate, a hacker named Bowser has been sued for more than 10 million by Nintendo

Oh, how the turn tables. In a move that can only be described as cosmic karma, a hacker names Gary Bowser, yes you read that right. A man named after an iconic Nintendo villain was arrested on piracy and cybercrime charges. He now has to pay the Japanese gaming giant a whopping $10 million after Nintendo filed a civil suit against him. He was already scheduled to pay another massive fine of $4.5 million. Talk about a really bad situation! Gary Bowser now faces up to 10 years in prison for the infractions. If only he made peace with a certain Italian plumber who could break him out!

Bowser was supposedly a part of a hacker group known as Team Xecutor who hacked the Nintendo Switch and 3DS and allowed users to play their ROMs on each console. They sold devices that were “illegal circumvention devices”. We don’t encourage piracy but to really lay the law down on a hacker just goes to show that Nintendo is not playing around. The company takes its intellectual property very seriously. 

Gary Bowser and another hacker called Max Louarn were previously charged with serious crimes like wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering. These are felonies and if he’s found guilty, Bowser could be looking at about 20 years behind bars. That’s a hell of a price to pay for pirating a few vidya here and there. Looking at things from Nintendo’s point of view, it’s also understandable as Nintendo isn’t some tech giant that has a video game division. They’re a full-fledged video game company. They don’t produce TVs, software, PCs etc. They concentrate only on games and it’s understandable why it is so protective of its IP.

People check their mobile phones every six-and-a-half minutes: Study

Mobile phones have now taken an important place in our lives. From setting morning alarms to sending e-mails, online shopping to gaming, we are using mobile phones for a variety of purposes throughout the day. According to a study by Mobile technology consultant Tomi Ahonen and commissioned by Nokia, we are so dependent on our mobile phones that on average, we check them every six-and-a-half minutes,

The study further said that checking their phones is the first thing many people do each day as they use mobile phones' alarm function, and is also the last thing of the day. In the meanwhile, people use the phone to access the Internet and check e-mails, along with making calls and message.

According to the study, people check their smartphones on an average 150 times during a working day of 16 hours. People even check their 'less-sophisticated phones' frequently, the research found.

Ahonen on his blog said that people make, receive or avoid 22 phone calls every day. They also send or receive text messages 23 times a day and check the clock 18 times.

“The average phone user places three calls per day and also receives three calls. Where are the other 16 times? Interruptions! We have a dropped call (one per day) or we make a call attempt that won’t go through (one per day). We miss a call that was coming, too slow to pull the phone out, or forgot we had changed our ringing tone - yes, we all have done that too,” he wrote.

He added: ‘Avoid a call? Yes that we also do, we see whose calling, and decide not to talk, send the b****** to voicemail jail. That’s once a day. We look at the phone when we start the call - we ALSO have to look at the phone to end the call. So out of the seven actual phone calls, we have to end seven calls, that gives us seven more times to look at the phone.”

Do you also agree with the study that people are spending too much time on their mobile phones? Let us know in the comments section below:
