Meta Quietly Added Facial Recognition to Its Smart Glasses

According to a report from Wired, Meta has been quietly installing facial recognition in its Ray-Ban Meta and Oakley Meta smart glasses for the last few months. Internally called "NameTag", the feature, if activated, will use AI to identify people captured by Ray-Ban Meta's camera, alert the wearer when it recognizes someone, and store faceprints on users' phones. The software has not been switched on, but if it is, it will use Meta's AI app to transform images of anyone photographed with Meta glasses into a biometric faceprint, and check against a database of faceprints stored locally on the user's Meta AI mobile app. If it finds a match, the user will be notified. If it doesn't, the faceprint will be indexed into a folder named "pending." So everyone who the wearer encounters in public c...

Mumbai doc gives new lease of life to elderly woman paralysed after a fall

In a deeply emotional and challenging case, a Mumbai doctor has helped an 89-year-old woman regain movement and independence after she was left completely paralysed following a fall at home.  The surgery was performed by Dr Amit Sharma, spine surgeon at Neo Spine Clinic, at Jaslok Hospital.  It all started when a simple accident quickly turned into a life-threatening condition, leaving her unable to move her arms or legs and entirely dependent on others for basic needs. The elderly woman had always been the pillar of strength for her family. She suffered a fall at home, which led to a serious cervical spine (neck) injury. After the fall, her life changed overnight.  She was left completely paralysed, unable to sit, eat, or even breathe comfortably without support. Once fiercely indepen...

Brown series review: Karisma Kapoor stuns but murder mystery crashes with climax

Abhinay Deo`s Brown, a seven-episode crime thriller currently streaming on Zee5, marks Karisma Kapoor`s return to acting after a long hiatus. She sheds her familiar 1990s bubbly image to play the intense and emotionally scarred Inspector Rita Brown. Plot Rita is a cop who has stepped away from active duty after a personal tragedy leaves her shattered. A homicide case involving the death of her husband (played by singer Shaan) and the loss of her unborn child pushes her into a spiral of grief and alcoholism. Living with her mother (Soni Razdan), Rita struggles to cope with the trauma that continues to haunt her. The premise may sound familiar, as damaged detectives battling personal demons have become a well-worn trope in crime dramas. However, what keeps Brown engaging is the central mu...

Strength training over long-term associated with lower risk of death: Study

Up to 90-120 minutes of strength training per week could be related with a 13 per cent lower risk of death from any cause, with effects amplified if aerobic exercise is added, a 30-year study showed. The duration of 90-120 minutes of strength training also reduced the risk of death from cardiovascular disease by 19 per cent, and from neurological diseases by 27 per cent, according to the findings published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. However, no further benefits were observed beyond 120 minutes a week of strength or resistance training. Researchers, including those from Harvard University, said that benefits of aerobic physical activity on lowering one`s death risk are known, but the role of muscle strengthening exercises in reducing the risk is not clear. "Using repeate...

How to Decide If You Should Upgrade From the Garmin Forerunner 165 to the 170

We may earn a commission from links on this page. I love my Garmin Forerunner 165. So when Garmin announced its successor, the Forerunner 170, I had to find out: How much did Garmin really upgrade this model? After testing both and comparing them in-depth, here are my thoughts on which watch is actually a better value, depending on what kind of runner you are. Is the cost of the Garmin Forerunner 170 worth it?The Forerunner 170 costs $299, compared to $249 for the 165 at full price. The music versions follow the same pattern, with the 170 Music landing at $349 versus $299 for the 165 Music. On paper, that's a $50 difference. In practice, though, the gap is wider. The Forerunner 165 goes on sale constantly, and at the time of this writing, you can regularly get closer ...

Cycling to work a smart solution to rising fuel costs, says cycling activist

Amid rising fuel costs, pollution and traffic woes, a cycle enthusiast, social activist and a doctor here has advocated the use of cycle for commuting to the workplace as a sustainable and cost-friendly option. Dr Pawan Chandak, who has been regularly commuting to his clinic by bicycle since October 2017, told PTI that cycling simultaneously addresses several concerns, including fuel consumption, public health, pollution, traffic jams and parking shortages. Advocating the `Cycle to Work` movement as a practical, economical and sustainable solution, he said government efforts alone cannot solve the country`s challenges unless citizens also adopt lifestyle changes. "Most workplaces, hospitals, banks and government offices in urban areas are located within a radius of five to ten kilometre...
