Telecom regulator TRAI on Thursday cracked down on unauthorised, pesky promotional messages by telemarketers as it issued directions to telecom operators to act swiftly to stop the misuse of headers and message templates. To stop such misuse and curb unwanted messages, the regulator has directed access service providers (telecom operators) to reverify all registered headers and message templates on Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) platform and block all unverified headers and message templates within 30 and 60 days, respectively. The move is expected to come as a relief to mobile users, annoyed by deluge of unauthorised, pesky promotional messages. Telecom operators have also been asked to ensure that temporary headers are deactivated immediately after the set time duration lapses. "... Remove confusions among recipients of message and prevent their misuse, no look-alike headers (headers which are similar by virtue of combination of small case or large case letters) are to

Microsoft is currently working on a massive update to its Bing search engine, which will provide rich and responsive text results. It is based on the powerful Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) technology, which is also used by popular chatbot ChatGPT, developed by San Francisco AI startup OpenAI. An updated version of Bing, which has so far lagged behind search engine market leader Google, is now being tested by a few users online. A premium version of Microsoft Teams with capabilities powered by GPT 3.5 was also announced earlier this month. Ahead of the upcoming rollout of the new and improved AI-powered Bing, Microsoft let Gadgets 360 try it out. We spent a while asking it serious questions and setting it complex, but quirky challenges, and the new Bing managed to impress us with its answers — and sometimes corny jokes and rhymes. Here's how the new Bing search engine responded to some of our queries: We started off with a health-related question, asking the chatbot —

Samsung Galaxy S23 series — including the vanilla model, Galaxy S23+, and Galaxy S23 Ultra — was unveiled at the Galaxy Unpacked event. The latest flagship smartphones are driven by a customised Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC and feature Dynamic AMOLED 2X displays. The Galaxy S23 family is the first smartphone series to include Gorilla Glass Victus 2 protection. The Galaxy S23 and Galaxy S23+ have identical triple rear camera setups, while the Galaxy S23 Ultra, the most expensive model in the lineup, has a superior 200-megapixel quad rear camera system. Samsung has now confirmed in a blog post ( via 9to5Google) that the Galaxy S23 uses a new type of AMOLED display to save battery life. The Galaxy S23 models share many similarities with their predecessors, including display sizes. However, the panel on each phone has been modified, with Samsung Display introducing a new "low power-consumption OLED technology" that saves power and increases brightness. This boosts the base

The judge presiding over the bankruptcy of cryptocurrency exchange FTX has denied a request by the US bankruptcy trustee to appoint an independent examiner in the case. The trustee, who serves as a government watchdog in Chapter 11 reorganizations, argued that the company's financial affairs and business operations, including allegations of unprecedented fraud leading to its collapse, should be reviewed by a disinterested person, not left to an internal investigation. But Judge John Dorsey rejected the request on Wednesday. He agreed with FTX and its official committee of unsecured creditors that an examiner's work would be too costly and would duplicate investigations already underway by FTX's new leadership, the creditors committee and several federal agencies. “There is no question that if an examiner is appointed, the cost of the examination, given the scope suggested by the trustee at the hearing, would be in the tens of millions of dollars and would likely exceed
