Not too long ago, Realme launched two budget wireless earphones in different form factors under Rs 2,500. What’s special about them is the presence of active noise cancellation (ANC) at that price point. Over the past year or so, Realme has been on a mission to democratise ANC and make it available at lower cost. They brought it to wireless earbuds under Rs 3,500 via their Buds Air 2 that we are quite fond of. The next target was to breach the Rs 2,500 barrier, and that’s what the Realme Buds Q2 TWS earbuds and Realme Buds Wireless 2 neckband make happen. I had the opportunity to test these two products for over a month and also to experience the effect of a couple of firmware updates. Time to tell you all you need to know about them. Before we move on to the individual products, let me address a few features that are common to both. For starters, both the earphones have an IPX5 rating for splash resistance. So wearing them during workouts or for a walk in a light drizzle should cau...

Children who get COVID-19 typically recover quickly and will not require special support upon return to school. However, some people who contract the disease experience persistent symptoms and post-viral complications. These complications can include fatigue, shortness of breath, brain fog, changes in taste and smell, and headaches. This post-viral syndrome is called long-haul COVID-19, more commonly referred to as “long COVID” in the medical community. Children who experience long COVID will need support at school. Some symptoms – such as fatigue, brain fog and memory impairment – are similar to those experienced after a concussion. But because these symptoms are challenging to identify or to track, it can be difficult for teachers to know how to help. We are researchers who study how schools manage concussions and the prevalence of long COVID and associated mental health outcomes. We believe strategies that schools use to support students with concussions may also help those wi...

It’s official: the Skoda Slavia will make its world premiere in India on 18 November. The Skoda Slavia will be the third model to use the Volkswagen Group’s tailored-for-India MQB A0 IN platform – the first two being the Skoda Kushaq and the Volkswagen Taigun midsize SUVs – and is likely to be launched early in 2022. A few days ago, Skoda revealed the Slavia will measure 4,541 mm in length, 1,752 mm in width and 1,487 mm in height, making it one of the biggest sedans in its class. The Slavia’s 2,651 mm wheelbase is also among the largest in the midsize sedan segment. The Slavia name, says Skoda, has been chosen as an ode to its past, as company founders Václav Laurin and Václav Klement had marketed their own bicycles under the same name in 1896. While the company has refrained from giving too much away at this point, it says the Slavia will be ‘an elegant, powerful and safe saloon car’ that will follow in the footsteps of the bigger, more powerful and more luxurious Skoda Octavia a...

After Mercedes-Benz, Audi and Jaguar, BMW is all set to become the latest luxury carmaker to launch an all-electric vehicle in India next year. Mini – which is part of the BMW Group – will see its India portfolio grow with the launch of the Mini Electric – or the Mini Cooper SE, to be precise – at the start of 2022. The three-door Mini Electric’s price is set to be announced at the start of January, and BMW Group India has commenced bookings for the all-electric hatchback online, with the booking amount set at Rs 1 lakh. Replacing the rorty turbo-petrol engine of the standard Mini is a floor-mounted 32.6 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that powers an electric motor making 187 hp and 270 Nm of torque. The addition of a large battery pack means the Mini Cooper SE weighs 145 kg more than the combustion engine, and that ground clearance had to be increased by 18 mm. That said, the instant torque delivery means the Mini Cooper SE can do the 0-100 kph dash in just 7.3 seconds, and top speed is...

Facebook ended its troubled week with an announcement — Facebook Inc., owner of the social network as well as Instagram, WhatsApp and other ventures, is changing its name to Meta Platforms . As Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in his blog post that the existing brand could not "possibly represent everything that we're doing today, let alone in the future", and needed to change. As we prepare for this name change, here’s a look at other companies who have undergone a rebranding in the recent past. Google to Alphabet In 2015, the internet search giant — worth more than $400 billion at the time — announced that it was changing its name to Alphabet, a technology conglomerate. Larry Page, former chief executive, explaining the move had said: "Alphabet is mostly a collection of companies." He explained further that the new entity would help the company take a long-term view and improve the “transparency and oversight” of its actions. The new entity, he wrote, w...

As part of a major rebrand, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that his company is changing its name to Meta. He made this announcement on Thursday, 28 October, giving rest to rumours about the social media giant's rebranding. “From now on, we’re going to be the metaverse first, not Facebook first," Zuckerberg said at the company's annual Connect conference, adding that the company's brand "is so tightly linked to one product that it can't possibly represent everything we're doing today, let alone the future,” Meanwhile, under the rebranding, Facebook, and its apps , including Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp will keep their names. They will also be retained in a separate division from Facebook Reality Labs, where the company's virtual reality products are stored. What this means is that the social media app will continue to be known as Facebook, but the branding will be removed from WhatsApp and Instagram and other places. From now on, all th...

Editor's Note: As COP26 looms, we are sharing articles authored by Indian youth leaders who have been selected as part of the United Nations India's We The Change campaign. They are all working towards various Sustainable Development Goals as prescribed by the UN. The foundation of humanity's survival is based on the health of our surrounding environment. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, — all of these are a result of the various free services we obtain from our natural environment. They are called ecosystem services and unlike the services we pay for, we do not value the services freely provided by our ecosystem. Almost 80 percent of the food we consume is pollinated by honey bees and other insects and their service is valued at around three trillion dollars. A human being would have to spend three trillion dollars to pollinate manually. A major chunk of the greenhouse gas emissions is sequestered by oceans, wetlands, and forests. Due to anthropo...
