Netflix Has Hidden Features and Secret Codes

Netflix isn't all that complicated to use (unless something breaks, that is). You log in, scroll through the selections, and pick something to watch. Of course, like all services, there's more than meets the eye here. Netflix has a handful of hidden features and settings under its sleeve, including a rather iconic secret code system—at least, it's iconic for those in the know.Netflix’s secret codesOne of Netflix's best secret features is its hidden codes, and that's really just because they're fun. Unbeknownst to many subscribers, the company uses a system of codes to denote different categories of content. Each broad category has its own code, but within each of those categories exists a number of hyper-specific categories with their own codes. For example, Netflix’s “Action & Adventu...

Think Mumbai’s vada pav is harmless? Experts reveal the shocking truth

For Mumbaikars, the vada pav is an emotion and the quintessential roadside snack that simply cannot be replaced with any other street food. Available for a bare minimum of Rs 12 onwards, the street food encompasses the complete essence of the city’s love for batata vadas and pav. In fact, even as TasteAtlas featured Mumbai on its list of `100 Best Food Cities in the World` in July, the city`s Vada Pav also made it to the list of `50 Best Sandwiches in the World` showcasing its global reach. It comes from the simplicity of the ingredients and process that often make it easy for many people to start their own stalls, that may make it one of the most popular street foods in the city. While it is a favourite among the common man, there are many including those focused on their health and f...

Trade war with China could have devastating impact on Canadian canola farmers

“Here we go again. If it’s not one thing, it’s another, especially with China. They’ve always got something up their sleeve so they can drop our price.” That’s how John Guelly, a canola producer near Westlock, Alta., reacted to Tuesday’s news that China is slapping a 75.8 per cent tariff on imports of Canadian canola.Guelly, who is a former chair of Canola Alberta, an advocacy group for the province’s 14,000 canola farmers, estimates the value of the Canadian canola production at $12 billion annually, or about 15 per cent of the total income Canadian farmers receive from the sale of agricultural commodities each year. John Guelly, who grows canola near Westlock, Alta., said trading with China is like a revolving door because they always seem to find a new reason to ...

Trump’s tariffs lead to record revenues, but U.S. deficit still climbed 20% – National

Despite the U.S. taking in record income from President Donald Trump’s tariffs in July — with a 273% increase in customs revenues (or $21 billion) from this time last year — the U.S. budget deficit is still higher, according to Treasury Department data released Tuesday. The government’s shortfall has climbed 20% this fiscal year compared to the same period in 2024.Even as Trump talks about America becoming rich because of his import tax hikes, federal spending keeps outpacing the revenues collected by the government. That financial picture might change as companies exhaust their pre-tariff inventories, forcing them to import more goods and generate even more in tax revenues that could whittle away at the deficit without meaningfully reducing it as promised.If tariffs fail to deliver on Tru...

You Can Now Tell Google Which Websites You Prefer in Search Results

Search ain't what it used to be. In the not-so-distant past, your query would return a simple list of links, which you could peruse at your convenience. Now, a search can yield a myriad of result types, from AI summaries to obnoxious or even malicious ads, with the links buried in between. There are ways to make search more useful, but they aren't always obvious.That's why I'm curious about Google's latest search addition. On Tuesday, Google announced that its feature, Preferred Sources, is rolling out to all English users in the U.S. and India. If you frequently test features with Google Labs, you might remember trying this one out: Preferred Sources, as the name implies, lets you tell Google which websites you prefer to read news from. The goal, then, is to see pages from those sites in ...

AI can help detect larynx cancer through voice features, finds study

A team of US scientists showed that Artificial Intelligence (AI) can help detect early larynx or voice box cancer from the sound of the patient’s voice. Cancer of the voice box is an important public health burden. In 2021, there were an estimated 1.1 million cases of laryngeal cancer worldwide, and approximately 100,000 people died from it. Risk factors include smoking, alcohol abuse, and infection with human papillomavirus. The prognosis for laryngeal cancer ranges from 35 per cent to 78 per cent survival over five years when treated, depending on the tumour’s stage and its location within the voice box. Now, researchers from the Oregon Health & Science University showed that abnormalities of the vocal folds can be detected from the sound of the voice using AI. Such ‘vocal fold ...

Sunil Grover on experimenting with different characters on TGIKS

A man of many talents, but when you ask him to describe himself, he says, “Sunil Grover is not a serious entity. If he connects, well and good, if not, it’s not a problem.” However, if you ask him to talk about his multiple characters, the actor and comedian has a lot to say. Having been part of Netflix’s The Great Indian Kapil Show, Grover has seriously pulled off many characters funnily — be it Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn, or even the late Dara Singh. When asked how he manages to come up with new characters in every episode, the actor jokingly says, “If I tell you this, then you will make a show from it.” He adds, “It’s never my solo decision, there is always a creative team involved. The credit goes to everyone if it works. And if it doesn’t work, then we find someone to bl...
