This TCL QLED TV Is Over $200 Off Right Now

We may earn a commission from links on this page. Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication. The 65-inch TCL QM7K is currently selling for $777.99, down from $999.99, and price-trackers show this is the lowest it has dropped so far. The QM7K isn’t a stripped-down budget model—it’s a mini-LED TV with full-array local dimming, wide HDR format support, and brightness levels that push past 2,000 nits. In practice, that means HDR highlights pop, contrast stays controlled, and the screen remains usable even in rooms with a lot of daylight. It doesn’t reach the extreme peak brightness of TCL’s higher-end QM8, but for most living rooms, the difference is negligible. And if you’re also shopping for a solid gaming and streaming setup ...

New study says 8 out of 10 Indians lack financial safety for medical emergencies

Eight out of ten Indians currently lack the financial safety nets required to manage sudden medical emergencies, even as climate change and environmental volatility emerge as primary drivers of national anxiety. According to the `a Nishchit Index 2.0` by Aditya Birla Sun Life Insurance, India`s national uncertainty score has reached 79, reflecting a deep-seated concern over the intersection of health and financial stability. The study, based on a survey of 3,583 respondents across 20 towns, suggests that health is no longer viewed as an occasional medical concern but as a continuous financial risk. Approximately 81 per cent of the population expects pollution levels to worsen, while 82 per cent worry about how rising healthcare costs will impact their long-term financial security. Envir...

I Tried Google’s New On-Device AI Transcription App for iPhone, and It Was Surprisingly Accurate

Google is back with yet another AI service—this time, an offline dictation program using its "Gemma" architecture. But rather than include it within the Gemini app, or as a Gemini function, the company has decided to roll it out into a dedicated iPhone app, with the very catchy name of "Google AI Edge Eloquent." I decided to give the app a shot on release day, though the privacy policy gave me pause. Google says that your location, contacts, identifiers, device diagnostics, contact info, user content, usage data, and "other" data can be linked to you, while purchases and other diagnostics can be collected but not linked to you. That's a lot of data, especially for an app that advertises that "audio, confidential conversations, and personal data never leave your device," and I'm not sure I'...

World Health Day 2026: WHO tells governments to invest in science-based policies

The World Health Organization (WHO) South-East Asia Region on Tuesday called for urgent, science-led action and a stronger One Health approach to address increasingly complex and interconnected health risks, marking World Health Day 2026. "Across the Region, health risks are increasingly driven by climate variability, environmental change, and evolving disease patterns.

World Health Day 2026: Hidden link between air conditioning and your sore throat

As the mercury climbs toward 35-degree Celsius, the hum of an air conditioner becomes the soundtrack of survival. Indians retreat into our chilled sanctuaries, seeking refuge from the sweltering humidity. But for many, that relief comes at a cost: a scratchy throat, a persistent sniffle, and a foggy head—the dreaded summer cold. Is the AC actually making you sick, or is it just a coincidence? This World Health Day, Dr. Divya Gopal, additional director of internal medicine at Sir H.N. Reliance Foundation Hospital, and Dr. Nilesh Sonawane, consultant pulmonologist at Apollo Clinic, decode why our cooling systems sometimes turn into irritant machines. The thermal shock The most common cause of feeling sick from an AC isn`t a germ at all—it`s physics. When you move between the 35 degrees Ce...

The FBI Is Warning Users About ‘Foreign-Developed’ Apps

When you download an app from the App Store or Play Store, how much research do you do ahead of time? Do you look into who makes the app, and where that company is based? Do you scan the app's privacy policy to make sure your data is handled responsibly? You might not, but, as it turns out, the FBI wants you to. The FBI issued a warning last Tuesday concerning "foreign-developer mobile applications (apps)." (Thank you, FBI, for that clarification.) The FBI's thesis is this: Many of the most popular apps in the U.S. aren't developed here—instead, they're often developed and maintained by foreign companies. Now, these discussions can verge dangerously close to xenophobic, especially considering the U.S.'s current administration, but some of the FBI's concerns are legitimate. The FBI's chief ...

Dan Levy cries as he revisits Schitt`s Creek set post Catherine O`Hara`s death

Actor-filmmaker Dan Levy revealed he once ruminated on a potential follow-up to hit series Schitt`s Creek. After star Catherine O`Hara`s death, however, the showrunner-actor said he wouldn`t pursue a sequel, reported Deadline. In the interview tied to Levy`s forthcoming Netflix comedy show Big Mistakes, the Emmy-winning creator strolled down Goodwood, Ontario, the small community that served as the filming locale for the fictitious town where a newly broke wealthy family was forced to settle in the show Schitt`s Creek. Levy noted he had not returned to the set since filming wrapped on the show ahead of 2020, including the Goodwood Mercantile store, which served as his character David`s artisan crafts store, Rose Apothecary. The real store now sells merchandise and also includes a condole...
