A couple of cool safety updates were included in Apple's iPhone 14 series. One of these, Emergency SOS via satellite, recently became live in the United States and will be operational in the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, and Germany starting at 10 AM GMT (9 AM CET) today.

It implies that you can contact emergency services if you run into trouble when outside and in an area without a cellphone connection. By aiming the iPhone at an approaching satellite, you can achieve this. Additionally, because those satellites are invisible to the human eye, Apple has software integrated into its products that can show you where you need to aim onscreen based on the precise location of the satellites. This alone is a fantastic accomplishment, and as you might anticipate from Apple, it makes everything easy to use.

It's a sophisticated, incredibly effective technique that might have already saved a life.

Here's where you can still buy the Dyson Airwrap, which is quickly selling out.

Long communications can't be sent because of the satellites' bandwidth, but Apple has a workaround. An exclusive interface appears to enable the satellite connection if a user dials 911 from outside in an area without coverage. Your location and current circumstances are sent to relay centers where Apple-trained specialists are ready to call for aid on the user's behalf after you complete a brief inquiry.

The fact that Apple made these transmissions possible without using a huge antenna on the iPhone is what I find most amazing about the entire process. Additionally, it is even more impressive that the software was created to guarantee that the iPhone was pointed precisely because satellites move quickly and have limited bandwidth.

It's the most recent addition to a large number of security measures on the iPhone. Not only can you swipe the screen, but you can also fast hit the power button five times to contact emergency services. At that point, Emergency SOS via satellite takes over if there is no internet or cellphone coverage.

With the release of the iPhone 14, Apple introduced a ground-breaking feature to the general public: the ability to use a satellite link to call 999 or 112 in the absence of cellular or Wi-Fi access. The British Association of Public Safety, John Anthony

The president of Communications Officials has stated. "The feature will allow for the notification of emergency services when it was previously not possible, allowing them to perform their duties more effectively, thanks in part to the initial information that can be shared with dispatchers, such as the location and crucial information about the emergency. In the end, this will save lives.


The Find My app may also be used to communicate a user's location through satellite, which is an additional benefit if someone wants to reassure friends and family where they are when they are unexpectedly off the grid due to a lack of wifi or cellular coverage.

When you run out of coverage, the SOS satellite icon appears.

And as you may have observed, the coverage indicator may change to SOS and then include a tiny icon of a satellite if you are outside where there is no cellular coverage.

iOS 16.1 or later is required for the service to function. However, when consumers have iOS 16.2, which is soon to be released, on their iPhones, things get even better. The emergency services number in the UK is often 999, whereas in Europe it is 112 (although 112 also works in the UK, many people are unaware of this).

With iOS 16.2, however, customers who call a local emergency service number will immediately be connected to 112 if a cellular or Wi-Fi connection is unavailable and the call is unsuccessful. This indicates that even if they don't dial 112, they can still use Emergency SOS through satellite. Better still.

Role of Rai Ahmad Khan Kharal, Nawab of Jhamra, in the War of Independence (1857)

Rai Ahmad Khan Kharal, also known as the Nawab of Jhamra , was a Muslim ruler of the Kharal family who was born in Punjab and lived from around 1776 to 21 September 1857.

When he died on September 21, 1857, while fighting, he was 81 years old. He is now held in high regard as a folk hero in Punjab. In the Sandal Bar region of Punjab, in the hamlet of Chak 434 Gb Jhamra, 23 kilometers from the Tandlianwala Faisalabad District and 57 kilometers from the city of Faisalabad, Rai Ahmad Khan Kharal was born into a wealthy landowning family of the Kharal Rajputs dynasty.

Who Is SpongeBob's Owner? Hollywood's Creative Base is Shaken by AI

 Phil Wiser, the head of technology at Paramount Global PARA -1.22%decrease; red down pointing triangle, used SpongeBob SquarePants to showcase the dangers and benefits of artificial intelligence for company executives. Mr. Wiser gave the order to DALL-E, an AI tool, to display SpongeBob, one of the most recognisable figures from Paramount, piloting a jet. At the presentation to Chief Executive Bob Bakish and others earlier this year, a picture of the rectangle cartoon character doing just that emerged on a big TV screen. The "Transformers" character Optimus Prime was then shown on the Paramount Studios lot by the tool at Mr. Wiser's request. It produced a picture of the imposing robot standing next to the cafe on the lot in a matter of seconds. The vivid demonstration brought up some of the unresolved issues around generative AI technology and potential dangers.

Would Jason Momoa portray the bad guy in Tiger vs. Pathaan with Salman Khan and Shah Rukh Khan?

Image
The recent rumours in Indian media that Hollywood action star Jason Momoa is being considered for the role of the villain in the Yash Raj Film-produced movie have only served to heighten the anticipation for the upcoming collaboration of Indian superstars Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan's Tiger vs. Pathaan. Siddharth Anand, an Indian filmmaker who has previously directed the recently released spy films Pathaan and War for the same production company, is helming the picture (2019). Avinash Singh Rathore, aka Tiger, who was portrayed by Salman in the Tiger franchise, and Pathaan, who was portrayed by Shah Rukh in his most recent film Pathaan, would be combined into one character in the future movie. This will be a part of YRF's spy world, which will also feature the two Khans, Indian actors Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff, who play agents in the film War, and other actors. If accurate, Momoa will have previously been spotted with Shah Rukh. The two actors first connected at the 20...
