The Russian Forest

Image
Russian Forestry is a collection of Russian industries related to wood production and processing. As one of the oldest sectors of the country's economy, Russia's timber industry still generates about $20 billion a year. Russia has more than a fifth of the world's forests, making it the world's largest forest country. According to 2015 data, the total forest area exceeded 885 million hectares, representing 45% of the country's territory. Wood reserves in the region were 82 billion cubic meters. A significant part of the industry's income is formed by the export of wood raw materials. For a long time, Russia was the main supplier of wood raw materials in Europe. However, according to a 2012 study by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the Government of the Russian Federation, the potential of Russian forests is underutilized, with Russia accounting for less than 4% of world trade in forest pr...

Small City Yoro Rain of Fish

Image
The small town of Yoro in Honduras has had very strange weather every year for the past 100 years. "Lluvia de peces" or "rain of fish" is an annual meteorological phenomenon that causes hundreds of fish to rain from the sky onto city streets after heavy storms, usually in May or June. The phenomenon of "raining fish" or "raining animals" is commonly known and has been reported around the world for centuries. However, there are few scientific explanations for why these phenomena occur. One hypothesis suggests that fish like lluvia de peces are caused by tornadoes moving over water and picking up small underground creatures, usually fish and frogs, and depositing them elsewhere. However, tanks are not known for transporting goods over long distances under water. This doesn't help explain Yoro's fishing weather. Because the fish washed up there don't belong in the local rivers and streams. If the conv...

safe deposit box

In the 18th and 19th centuries, cholera and bacterial infections were common, causing severe diarrhea and dehydration. Not only did they leave the affected communities, but they were also very sick. But he is also very afraid of being buried alive. It was a clever feat of engineering that tried to comfort panic-stricken people during this time. One of these inventions was the safe. The safety box allowed the occupants to escape the newly discovered trap and alert others on the grounds that they were indeed alive. Many safes have comfortable cotton linings, feeding tubes, elaborate systems of wires attached to bells and escape hatches. Unfortunately, most ventilation methods are neglected. An account from 1791 describes the death of Robert Robinson of Manchester and the prototype safe. He was buried in a mausoleum with special gates opened by guards on duty. Robinson's casket has removable glass panels. Before his death, Robinson i...

Apple no longer intends to introduce the iPhone SE 4 this year.

Image
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims that Apple has informed suppliers that it will not be releasing a fourth-generation iPhone SE in 2024. Although Kuo had previously stated that the fourth-generation iPhone SE would be delayed or canceled, he now strongly believes that it has been canceled. Kuo stated in a Medium post today that Apple intended to introduce its first in-house 5G chip in the fourth-generation iPhone SE; however, this is clearly no longer anticipated due to the iPhone SE's apparent cancellation. Kuo, on the other hand, stated that it is likely that Apple will continue to use Qualcomm's 5G chips in 2024, including for the iPhone 16 series. According to Kuo, Apple intended to test the 5G chip in the iPhone SE before introducing it to iPhone 16 models to ensure that its performance in the real world was satisfactory: Apple initially planned to release its baseband chip in 2024, allowing the low-end iPhone SE 4 to adopt it first, and then deciding whether to allow the iPhone...

Numerous Android phones that can connect to satellites

Image
  Later this year, premium Android smartphones will have satellite connectivity thanks to a new partnership between the satellite phone company Iridium and the giant chipmaker Qualcomm. This indicates that handsets can communicate with passing satellites to send and receive messages even in areas without mobile coverage. Numerous smartphones powered by Android incorporate Qualcomm chips. In September 2022, Apple announced a satellite feature for the iPhone 14. Currently, the service can only be used to send and receive basic text messages in an emergency. Bullitt, a British smartphone manufacturer, launched its own satellite service before Apple did. It can also be used in an emergency and will initially be available in some places. The new partnership will make the same service available to millions more smartphone users without requiring them to use a specific brand; however, the manufacturer will need to make it possible. The initial satellite phone system was Iridium, which lau...

Image

 Sarfaraz Ahmed, making his Test comeback in this series, said he had to fight nerves the first time he batted.  Sarfaraz Ahmed has stated that his fifth-day century on Friday in Karachi, Pakistan's epic chase against New Zealand, was his best Test performance. Sarfaraz stated that batting in the fourth innings is always a challenging task at the post-match presentation after bad light forced a draw with Pakistan needing 15 more runs to chase down 319 and New Zealand one wicket away from victory.

Therefore, I believe this to be my best 100," he stated. At the loss of Babar Azam's wicket, Sarfaraz entered the game with Pakistan four runs behind and batted for 77. Shan Masood was also out after two overs and three runs. After batting for close to five hours, Sarfaraz scored 118 to put Pakistan on the verge of victory befor...

Attention Windows 7 and 8.1 users! By January 10, you must upgrade to Windows 11.

Image
  There is bad news if you are using Windows 7 or Windows 8.1. Microsoft will stop supporting all security updates on January 10. However, those who paid for Microsoft's Extended security update program, which enabled Oses users to extend security support by three years in early 2020, are affected by this news. In 2020, Microsoft initially stopped providing regular users with security support for these operating systems. Since that time, the company has advised customers to upgrade to Windows 10 or Windows 11. The deadline of January 10 coincides with the release of Microsoft Edge 109, the last browser version to support Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. Even after the support is ended, the browser will continue to function, but it will be susceptible to security and bug issues. On January 10, support for the Web View2 tool will also end.

Android Auto becomes widely used: A look at the new GM infotainment system.

Image
  Android Automotive, Google's car operating system, has only been used on a small number of high-profile vehicles like the Polestar 2. However, Android Automotive is now becoming widely used, and some of the largest automobile manufacturers are beginning to implement Google's operating system across entire product lines. While the GMC Yukon of 2022 is the focus of this article, the Android Automotive system developed by General Motors will soon be available on the majority of GM's lineup. The Hummer EV1 is powered by the same fundamental setup. Given that GM shares parts, this system is likely to appear in Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, and Buick vehicles as well. Google's car operating system will soon be available in all automobiles when Ford and Honda join the Android Automotive ecosystem in the near future. Let's get rid of the usual disclaimer: Android Auto, Google's tethered phone app and rival to Apple's CarPlay, is not the subject of this article. When f...
