Your Fitness Tracker Has No Idea How Many Calories You’re Burning

We may earn a commission from links on this page. When I test smartwatches and fitness trackers, I place a particular emphasis on accuracy. Is my running pace correct? Does the device capture the ups and downs of my heart rate? I even got a VO2max lab test to check a bunch of watches' fitness scores. But one thing I never test for accuracy is calorie burn. None of my devices come close to agreeing on the number of calories they think I'm burning, and I don't expect them to. Even scientists who study the accuracy of wearables can't answer the question in a way that's useful when you're shopping for this year's devices—but we'll get into why that is below. There was a time, before Fitbits, when nobody knew quite how many calories they were burning on a daily basis. Sure...

Kiran Rao, Shakun Batra, Vishal Bhardwaj on love, lust and marriage

As with Shakun Batra, director Kiran Rao made her first short film, in her early 20s, at film school (Jamia, in Delhi) that, she recalls, was about a 31-year-old’s birthday gone south, because of a husband, who doesn’t care. Her short film debut in Netflix’s Lust Stories 3 — as with most shorts — would be hard to describe, without a spoiler, though.  Suffice it to state that it’s a play on Shakespeare’s Comedy of Errors, but rather serious. Shakun’s, on the other hand, with Ali Fazal, Radhikka Madan, felt to me as a running narrative on the addictive nature of ‘break-up sex’. Shakun disagrees, but adds, that could make for a fine elevator pitch!  Source link

Actress Soni Razdan, who is gearing up for the release of her upcoming streaming show ‘Shaque: Trust No One’, has spoken up on her relationship with the art of silence as an actor. The actress spoke with IANS along with Tahir Raj Bhasin and Parineeti Chopra during the promotions of the series in the BKC area of Mumbai. She told IANS, “I actually feel I would like to use silences a lot more. I feel sometimes as actors, we are frightened of silences because we are given lines and our job is to say those lines. As an actor, I'm learning that finding the spaces between those lines is now becoming interesting for me. I'm discovering that as an actor, those layers because we're allowed to be with it. Earlier we were not allowed”. She further mentioned, “We had to do huge chunks of dialogue to...

Even a VPN Can’t Protect You From This Browser Security Flaw

A VPN conceals your IP address by routing your internet traffic through a remote server, preventing anyone surveilling the network from tracking your online activity. Theoretically, that means no one should be able to identify you when you connect to a network and browse the internet, even your ISP. In practice, though, there are plenty of gaps that hackers can exploit. A while back, Lifehacker covered browser fingerprinting, which uses hundreds of data points, like your hardware specs, operating system version, web browser, and GPU signature, to establish a shadow profile that follows you around even when your VPN is enabled. There's another way cyberattackers can intercept your data, and it involves exploiting a communication leak right inside your browser. Major browsers like Chrome, Fi...
