But many units, like safety cameras and sensible thermostats, can cause and reply to automation instructions.

I understand that this crash path to house automation looks as if a fundamental description of a sensible house machine, which it’s. But the purpose I’m looking to make is that you want to discover your machine prior to you already know what is conceivable. It’s not going that your sensible house seems the rest like mine — I’m at all times trying out extra units than I in truth want — so figuring out the basics is at all times step one.

Here’s the place you’ll in finding the automation equipment for more than a few sensible house apps.

  • Amazon Alexa: Tap the More menu (3rd icon from the left at the backside of the display) and make a choice the Routines choice.
  • Apple Home: Tap the + button and make a choice Add Scene or Add Automation.
  • Google Home: Tap the + on the most sensible of the display subsequent in your profile image. Select Automation from the record.
  • IFTTT: Tap the Create tab.
  • SmartThings: Tap the Routines tab, then faucet the + on the most sensible of the display.

These are just a few examples, however maximum sensible house apps — like Philips Hue, Ikea or Reolink — have a equivalent automation introduction workflow.

Now it is time to soar into the helpful stuff: in truth growing automations.

Building Block 1: Scenes for film evening and past

From left to proper, listed below are some automation examples in Alexa, Google Home, Samsung SmartIssues and IFTTT.

Sometimes the most straightforward option to perceive the cause-and-effect nature of automation is first of all the impact. Scenes are the perfect house automation options to know as a result of they are merely a gaggle of units and duties you keep an eye on unexpectedly. Movie Night is a brilliant instance:

Trigger:

  • Activate Movie Night along with your smartphone, a voice command or the use of a easy agenda (each Friday at 6 p.m.).

Actions:

  • Adjust sensible lights in your choice (on, off, dimmed or perhaps a particular colour).
  • Turn at the sensible TV and boot up your go-to streaming app.
  • Set a timer or not on time notification for 3 hours to remind the youngsters it is time for mattress. When the timer is going off, the lighting transfer again to commonplace, and the TV turns off.

Why it really works:

The great thing about scenes is their flexibility. They can keep an eye on actually any appropriate sensible house machine. In my sensible house, I take advantage of computerized first light and sundown scenes to keep an eye on develop lighting. These identical scenes set up the ambient lights in my bed room and circle of relatives room by way of toggling lighting and sensible blinds. Not most effective do those scenes lend a hand my houseplants thrive, however the sensible blinds additionally let in additional herbal mild to lend a hand me get up or supply relaxed darkness for higher sleep.

Building Block 2: Sensors save time on repetitive duties

Controlling sensible lighting with a door sensor feels extra magical than it in truth is.

Let’s use a daft state of affairs for optimum emphasis: Imagine manually turning the refrigerator mild off and on each time you wanted an element whilst cooking. The absolute peak of tedium, proper? That’s why the following form of automation leverages sensors to simplify repetitive duties. (Though I will have to indicate that sensors typically require some roughly sensible hub that helps Matter, Thread, Zigbee or Z-Wave.) The highest instance is Closet Lighting:

Trigger:

Actions:

  • A wise mild or sensible plug in an instant turns at the closet mild.
  • The mild turns off when the closet door closes.

I take advantage of equivalent automation to keep an eye on the entryway lights with a sensor on my entrance door so I will be able to at all times see the place I’m going at evening or when my palms are stuffed with groceries.

Why it really works:

While a easy interplay of a sensor turning on a gentle does not appear to be a large deal, you will have became your closet door into a gentle transfer. No want to succeed in up for a pull chain, plug in string lighting or fumble for the sunshine transfer at nighttime. The image comes into even sharper focal point when you’ve got mobility or accessibility problems that make even small, repetitive duties a problem.

Smart sensors make lights automations specifically efficient.

If we zoom out to different sorts of sensors, the chances and advantages develop into much more obvious. 

  • Motion detectors and presence sensors can develop into vital equipment for transient lights in open spaces, which is superb for nightlights.
  • Water leak sensors help you set up a rest room with a incessantly clogged rest room (ideally till a plumber can come over). Or possibly you can use them to trace when a jug of filtered water fills up, like I do.
  • Contact sensors are not only for doorways and home windows. They too can monitor how continuously any individual opens a drugs cupboard or whether or not the bathroom seat is put down.
  • Vibration sensors can inform you when the washing machine and dryer are completed with no need a dear sensible equipment.
  • Temperature and humidity sensors are ideal for controlling fanatics or optimizing your HVAC machine.
  • Light sensors help you music sensible blinds to take care of constant lights and let in additional daylight all the way through the iciness.

I purposely have shyed away from the rest particular to house safety, which is normally the explanation the general public purchase sensors. Similarly, sensible smoke detectors, carbon monoxide sensors and glass-break sensors are just a little too specialised to make use of out of doors of security and safety duties.

Building Block 3: Variations on triggers and movements

While you’ll chain more than one routines in combination for complicated duties — like one I take advantage of for air flow in the summertime — it is best to stay issues so simple as conceivable.

John Carlsen/CNET

I want I may just inform you house automation is greater than triggers and movements, however even probably the most complicated routines in the end boil down to those two construction blocks. Still, many sensible house apps develop the definition past scenes and sensors:

  • Triggers: Manual keep an eye on, time (scheduling, alarms), location (geofencing, presence), machine standing (sensors, battery existence) and receiving data (emails, messages, information, climate).

  • Actions: Control units (scenes, routines, time-intensive settings adjustments), time (not on time movements), sending data (emails, messages, Excel spreadsheet knowledge).

Without getting too deep into the weeds, the complexity of your automations relies on the functions of your units and apps—and the persistence you’ve gotten for placing them in combination. I love to regard the time I spend on each new automation as an funding in my long run potency quite than a tedious job.

Let’s wrap up with a couple of rapid-fire examples of straightforward house automations that use all 3 construction blocks:

Good Morning (day-to-day regimen)

  • Trigger: Use a day-to-day agenda, like 7:00 a.m. on weekdays and 9:00 a.m. on weekends.

  • Actions: Open sensible blinds, steadily build up the brightness of bed room lighting and get started your favourite Spotify playlist.

Delivery (package deal notification)

  • Trigger: Your video doorbell detects a package deal at the porch.

  • Actions: Send a notification to each and every circle of relatives member’s telephone, flip at the porch mild in brief (at evening) and play “A supply is right here” on a sensible speaker.

For a Rainy Day (climate alert)

  • Trigger: The climate forecast requires stormy climate within the subsequent half-hour whilst the home windows are open.

  • Actions: Send a “shut the home windows” notification to a smartphone or a sensible show announcement.

Nightlight (protection + comfort)

  • Trigger: The movement detector spots motion within the corridor between 11:00 p.m. and six:00 a.m. each day.

  • Actions: Activate sensible lights at 10% brightness, robotically flip it off after 3 mins.

Mute Everything (Universal Media Control)

  • Trigger: Custom voice command, like “Mute the whole thing.” 

  • Actions: Pause all streaming units and mute all sensible audio system so you’ll listen the doorbell or a dialog. You can move additional by way of including a time lengthen to robotically unmute after 5 mins—or create a 2nd “unmute the whole thing” customized voice command to renew your streaming content material.

Garage (safety)

  • Trigger: The storage door is open for longer than 5 mins and there is no motion at the storage movement sensor.

  • Actions: Close the sensible storage door opener and switch off indoor storage lights.

Child’s Bedroom (nightlight + calories saver)

  • Trigger: There’s no motion within the bed room for 10 mins whilst the lighting are on. (Maybe your child fell asleep whilst enjoying or went someplace?)

  • Actions: Turn off the sensible lamps (or dim them to midnight ranges, relying at the time of day), pause sensible audio system and ship a notification in the event that they left the window open.

Good Night (day-to-day regimen)

  • Trigger: Say “excellent evening” in your sensible speaker. 

  • Actions: Lock the sensible locks in your back and front doorways, arm the protection machine in “Home” or “Asleep” mode, and set the sensible thermostat to a relaxed sleep temperature.

There you’ve gotten it, an in-depth information to sensible house automations, routines, scenes and triggers for a house that robotically reacts in your agenda and present job. The most effective barriers are your creativeness and what is for your sensible house machine.

Remember, stay your automations easy and sensible. This makes them more uncomplicated to arrange and set up, and not more prone to annoy you to the purpose that you simply keep away from considered one of your sensible house’s highest options. For a extra complicated automation choice, take a look at what you’ll do with geofencing.

Red Magic 11 Pro sequence, which contains the Red Magic 11 Pro and the Red Magic 11 Pro+, used to be introduced in China in October closing yr. Later, in the similar, the usual type used to be unveiled in choose international markets because the Nubia sub-brand’s newest gaming telephone. Now, the tech company is apparently getting ready to release a brand new Red Magic 11 sequence handset globally, as the telephone has reportedly been noticed on a certification database in Thailand. It is claimed to send with equivalent specs and contours to the Red Magic 11 Pro+, which is powered through an octa core Snapdragon 8 sequence chipset from Qualcomm.

Red Magic 11s Pro Listed on NBTC Certification Database in Thailand

The upcoming Red Magic 11s Pro is now indexed at the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) certification database in Thailand (via XpertPick), apparently confirming the rumoured gaming telephone’s title. The handset used to be noticed at the site with the type quantity NX809J. However, the record does now not disclose another information about the Red Magic 11 sequence type.

According to the document, the type quantity used to be previous related to the Red Magic 11 Pro+. The purported Red Magic 11s Pro is anticipated to send with equivalent specs and contours because the Pro+ type. It is price noting that the Nubia sub-brand has but to substantiate those main points, so it is best to take this knowledge with a grain of salt.

To recap, the Red Magic 11 Pro+ used to be introduced in China in October 2025 at a beginning worth of CNY 5,699 (kind of Rs. 70,000) for the bottom variant, providing 12GB of RAM and 256GB of garage.

What’s the actual distinction for video games in 2026?

0
In one hand, I grasp the Xiaomi 17 Ultra — a powerhouse pushed through Qualcomm’s benchmark-dominating Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. In the opposite, Google’s Pixel 10 Pro XL, powered through the newest Tensor G5 chip. On paper, Google’s newest flagship seems to be a long way much less spectacular in the case of uncooked efficiency, a truth Pixel enthusiasts have simply come to simply accept through the years and one who’s a relentless thorn within the facet of those that love a little of cellular gaming each every so often.

But benchmarks don’t all the time inform the whole tale — we seldom understand the additional 5% or 10% distinction whilst surfing the internet or scrolling feeds. Likewise, fashionable Android video games aren’t all the time constructed to push state of the art silicon to its limits, and real-world efficiency steadily is dependent simply as a lot on optimization and framerate caps because it does on brute power. So the query is: does Google’s Tensor nonetheless lag as a long way at the back of as the factitious numbers counsel, or can the Pixel 10 Pro XL punch above its weight the place it if truth be told counts?

To to find out, I put each telephones thru a sequence of genuine gaming assessments. For a little bit housework, I up to date each telephones to the newest solid builds to be had from their producers. No betas right here, those are the numbers shoppers will see.

Does lackluster efficiency put you off purchasing a Google Pixels?

Real sport efficiency assessments

Robert Triggs / Android Authority

I sought after to start out proper out of the gate, appearing the place essentially the most noticeable variations lie relating to hard graphics and prime body charges. So I opted for COD Mobile’s Battle Royale mode and its prime body charge mode.

However, COD Mobile limits the Pixel to 90 fps and most effective lets in the graphics to be set to medium with a body charge above 60. Meanwhile, Xiaomi can run at as much as 120 fps with graphics set to Very High. I examined each graphics settings to look if the Snapdragon is in point of fact in a position to hitting that body charge with graphics maxed out, since earlier fashions didn’t have those choices once I final examined.

COD Mobile Battle Royale Performance FPS light

It seems no longer most effective can the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 hit 120fps on medium graphics, however it might achieve this on very prime as smartly. Both settings grasp very stably round 120 fps. The Pixel 10 Pro XL isn’t a long way from its 90 fps goal on reasonable, however its consistency is worse: 5% of frames fall nearer to 80fps or under, whilst the Snapdragon is surely smoother, each in reasonable and within the worst frames.

As an apart, the Pixel 10 Pro XL additionally drew way more energy, clocking in at 5.8W on reasonable in comparison to 3.9W for the Xiaomi 17 Ultra on medium settings and four.8W on very prime. While there are many variables right here, from show to networking, it’s a captivating and doubtlessly vital distinction as smartly.

Pixel can play video games smartly, however it is uncooked efficiency is definitely at the back of opponents.

While the typical and 5% low body metrics don’t glance too unhealthy for the Pixel, it’s value having a look at how this compares to the Xiaomi over a chronic play consultation. The Tensor G5 ebbs and flows reasonably regularly to round 70fps. That’s nonetheless very playable, however the occasional jank and frame-pacing spikes expose that Google’s chip isn’t discovering it in particular simple to render constantly. Compare this to the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 that hardly stumbles in any respect in spite of its extra hard graphics settings.

The efficiency hole is much more pronounced within the fast moving Asphalt Legends and graphically hard Genshin Impact. Despite stepped forward efficiency in the newest QPR betas, maximum Pixel 10 homeowners are nonetheless caught with slightly playable efficiency with graphics maxed out in those video games.

Genshin Impact & Asphalt Legends Tensor G5 vs Snapdragon

In each titles, the Pixel 10 Pro XL averages about 40 fps, with occasional dips to 35. That’s nonetheless completely playable, particularly given that is with each graphics surroundings cranked up. Thankfully, body pacing isn’t an issue right here adore it used to be with Call of Duty. I didn’t witness any main jank or putting throughout my play periods.

However, when in a similar way priced flagship smartphones can hit an almost locked 60 fps in Genshin Impact and as much as 120 fps in supported titles like Asphalt Legends, the Pixel’s effects are obviously disappointing. Double or extra efficiency is a lead that’s just too vital to forget about.

Next-gen Pixel would possibly fall even additional at the back of

Google Pixel 10 Pro XL game controller

Robert Triggs / Android Authority

Going into this take a look at, I believed the sensible body charge limits of genuine video games would possibly lend a hand Tensor’s on-paper benchmark deficit glance a little bit higher in observe. It’s true that the telephone can hit 60 fps while you flip down the graphics settings, or even at max settings, it held smartly above 30 fps in my assessments. However, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5’s sheer efficiency lead is simple.

Pixel and Tensor are some distance at the back of 2026’s flagship Snapdragon-powered smartphones. They continuously hand in part the efficiency in genuine video games, whilst the 8 Elite Gen 5 can very best Google’s flagship even with upper graphics settings enabled. That’s relating to, no longer for the reason that Pixel can’t play video games easily sufficient, however as a result of opponents in the similar value bracket are such a lot quicker and future-proof towards upcoming titles. At flagship costs, matching the contest — no longer slightly maintaining — is the expectancy.

All the motive force tweaks on the planet may not see Tensor catch Snapdragon.

If Google desires to noticeably shut this hole, it must reconsider its GPU technique at a elementary stage. Right now, Tensor feels adore it’s designed to be “excellent sufficient” for mainstream workloads, quite than actually aggressive on the flagship tier — and that’s increasingly more arduous to justify when opponents are pushing way past that baseline.

A extra robust, fashionable GPU structure with upper top efficiency and powerful thermal scaling would move some distance towards narrowing the divide, particularly in hard video games and emulation. Unfortunately, the transfer to a brand new Immagination GPU from Arm’s Mali hasn’t made a distinction thus far. Worse, early indications counsel subsequent yr’s Tensor G6 will land in an excessively an identical efficiency bracket, which dangers leaving Pixel additional at the back of on the prime finish whilst competition proceed to stretch the definition of what flagship efficiency looks as if.

Google badly wishes a quicker GPU, however next-year’s Tensor G6 may well be extra of the similar.

In the right here and now, will have to avid gamers keep away from the Pixel 10? Well, that’s no longer an easy query. Google has been steadily making improvements to efficiency, however the entire driving force tweaks on the planet received’t catch as much as Qualcomm. With older titles and reasonable emulation, the Pixel 10 sequence will surely see you thru with forged efficiency at cheap graphics settings. If gaming is a passing passion quite than a number one explanation why to shop for a telephone, then a contemporary Pixel nonetheless makes a large number of sense; it plays smartly sufficient for playable reviews, and its AI and pictures gear are lovely nice too.

However, if you need the smoothest conceivable body charges in nowadays’s video games and emulators with headroom to spare for destiny generations, then the additional energy of the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 will likely be value the additional price. It additionally is helping that telephones just like the Xiaomi 17 Ultra and Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra pack spectacular digital camera and AI features of their very own, so that you’re no longer essentially lacking out on all of Google’s strengths both.

This Doughnut Smart Lamp From Ikea Has the Best Glowing Vibes

0

Pros

  • Beautiful doughnut design
  • Works on tables and partitions
  • Durable, high quality ABS plastic
  • Matter give a boost to for a couple of clever house platforms
  • Easy to switch bulbs
  • Versatile colour choices

Cons

  • You’ll want a clever hub, both of your personal or Ikea’s, to keep an eye on this lamp
  • The faraway struggled to serve as effectively when I became to app controls

When we noticed footage of Ikea’s new smart-ready Varmblixt lamp at CES 2026, we straight away advised every different “I would like one.” The lovely doughnut of sparkling happiness was once an speedy winner. Now that I’ve examined it, even with its $100 worth, it is nonetheless one among very best clever lamps I’ve observed. Here’s why.

Ikea’s lamp is sensible, trendy and feels at house.

The Swedish furnishings and meatball corporate has delivered a amusing, ambient gentle you’ll be able to have compatibility anyplace in your house. The clever house and Matter same old give a boost to make it extremely handy, well matched with Apple Home/Siri, Alexa, Google Home or Ikea’s personal app. Think of hanging it in an entryway, front room, dorm, bed room and even on a wall as an accessory piece. Let’s have a look at the way it works.

Measuring round a foot vast, the Varmblixt comes with a twine, a small on/off faraway and little else. The doughnut-like duvet seems to be and feels slightly like clean ceramic, however it is in reality sturdy ABS plastic. That makes the lamp much less more likely to destroy, however you’ll be able to nonetheless wish to keep away from striking it in puts the place it is simple to knock it over.

The base of the lamp is not just for flat surfaces. You too can mount it to the wall with a couple of screws, providing you with many extra set up choices. What occurs when the sunshine within burns out? Ikea has a push button that unlocks the doughnut, letting you elevate it up and change the sunshine within when vital.

As with the brand new Ikea safety sensors I examined, setup was once so simple as scanning a QR code and popping over to my house platform of selection (Apple Home on this case) to attach… effectively, nearly. For this overview, I had to check out a couple of occasions sooner than the relationship finished, ultimately shifting the lamp nearer to my Wi-Fi router, which perceived to lend a hand.

Ikea sells its own Dirigera smart hub to allow clever gentle controls, however you do not want it when you’ve got any instrument that may act as a house hub, together with a Nest speaker or hub, an Echo speaker or clever show, an Apple HomePod or a more moderen Apple TV. That’s a super state of affairs, because the Dirigera prices $110, making this clever lamp a dear funding.

Cozy glows for atmosphere and slightly of illumination

This lamp is not just about accessory lighting fixtures, despite the fact that it does shine there.

Tyler Lacoma/CNET

The Varmblixt lamp would possibly not win awards for sheer lumen output: It’s designed to be a much more mild gentle than lots of the floodlights and LED bulbs I’ve examined. That makes the lamp well-suited for atmosphere, accessory lighting fixtures or a amusing centerpiece on a desk. If the lighting fixtures ever pass down for a birthday celebration, it’ll in reality begin to shine.

That quiet gentle could have extra productive functions, too. Perch the lamp on a bedside desk and it can be a comfy studying gentle. Hang it in a hallway (possibly hooked up to a Matter-compatible movement sensor), and it might turn out to be a serene nightlight. In an entryway and set with a timer, it might greet the ones coming house overdue at night time from paintings. I attempted the lamp in numerous puts and could not make a decision the place I appreciated it very best.

Brightness controls are innate to the lamp, regardless of which platform you utilize — one thing I’ll talk about under — and colour choices vary from heat reds to chill blues. Ikea additionally gives a method to select your personal colour from the entire rainbow and switch adaptive lighting fixtures (responding to ambient gentle ranges) on or off. There aren’t any complicated options right here like track syncing, so you will have to set up adjustments by yourself with an app, however that handiest takes a few seconds.

Smart house options raise this lamp in all of the proper techniques

Ikea’s lamp is way, a lot better with Matter give a boost to and all of the related clever house connections. Whichever app you utilize, you’ll be able to alter brightness and colour straight away with sliders and icons.

The Matter clever house same old and Apple/Alexa/Google compatibility additionally make it simple to set automations and scenes. Apple Home, as an example, steered scenes like turning on while you get house or within the morning, and you’ll be able to in finding identical choices on all platforms.

Scenes and automations let Ikea’s lamp do methods by itself.

Automations additionally allow you to attach clever lamp habits to movements like your clever lock unlocking, a movement sensor triggering and different helpful methods relying at the different tech you’ve gotten round your own home. And you’ll be able to keep an eye on the lamp with the voice assistant of your selection.

The handiest drawback I spotted was once that when the use of app controls at the lamp for some time, it perceived to cede keep an eye on clear of the faraway, which I discovered hesitant to paintings correctly later on. I handiest spotted as a result of I made positive to check it, because the app controls are awesome so long as your telephone is within sight. There is a guide button at the lamp to energy on/off and reboot as wanted.

Final ideas at the Ikea Varmblixt clever lamp

Ikea’s spherical lamp proved a contented presence in my house, with its clever options raising it to a prime advice for any individual who needs ambient illumination. While operation with the integrated faraway appeared a bit iffy in my checks, the app controls and automation choices have been excellent. The general high quality could also be a lot upper than you could be expecting from Ikea, which is helping provide an explanation for the just about $100 worth.

This glowy doughnut is at house nearly anyplace, together with each tables and partitions. If you are on the lookout for a different lamp, take into accounts how it’s essential use it.

फ्रांस ने अमेरिकी टेक कंपनियों से किया किनारा, सरकार में नहीं यूज होगा माइक्रोसॉफ्ट विंडोज – france ditch home windows transfer to linux virtual sovereignty europe ttecm

0
दुनिया की टेक दुनिया में एक बड़ा बदलाव होने जा रहा है और इसकी शुरुआत यूरोप से हो रही है. फ्रांस ने एक ऐसा फैसला लिया है, जो आने वाले समय में पूरी टेक इंडस्ट्री पर असर डाल सकता है. रिपोर्ट्स के मुताबिक फ्रांस अब अपने सरकारी कंप्यूटरों से Microsoft Windows को हटाकर Linux पर जाने की तैयारी कर रहा है.

यह फैसला सिर्फ एक सॉफ्टवेयर बदलने का नहीं है. फ्रांस चाहता है कि वह अपनी डिजिटल दुनिया पर खुद का कंट्रोल रखे और अमेरिकी टेक कंपनियों पर डिपेंडेंसी कम करे.

सरकार के अधिकारियों का कहना है कि अब समय आ गया है कि देश अपने डेटा और डिजिटल सिस्टम पर खुद का अधिकार बनाए. Linux एक ओपन सोर्स ऑपरेटिंग सिस्टम है, यानी इसे कोई भी यूज कर सकता है और इसमें बदलाव भी कर सकता है.

यही Linux की सबसे बड़ी खासियत है. Windows जैसे सिस्टम में अमेरिकी कंपनी माइक्रोसॉफ्ट का कंट्रोल होता है, जबकि Linux में देश अपनी जरूरत के हिसाब से सिस्टम को ढाल सकता है. यही वजह है कि फ्रांस अब इस डायरेक्शन में बड़ा कदम उठा रहा है.

बदला जाएगा पूरा डेटाबेस, अमेरिका पर डिपेंडेंसी कम करने की तैयारी

फ्रांस की डिजिटल एजेंसी DINUM ने इस बदलाव को कन्फर्म किया है. प्लान के मुताबिक सरकार के सभी विभागों को धीरे-धीरे Windows से Linux पर शिफ्ट किया जाएगा.

इसके लिए हर मंत्रालय को 2026 तक अपनी योजना तैयार करने को कहा गया है. इसमें सिर्फ कंप्यूटर ही नहीं, बल्कि पूरे डिजिटल सिस्टम जैसे डेटाबेस, नेटवर्क, साइबर सिक्योरिटी और AI टूल्स भी शामिल होंगे.

यह बदलाव अचानक नहीं हो रहा है. पिछले कुछ समय से फ्रांस लगातार अमेरिकी टेक कंपनियों से दूरी बनाने की कोशिश कर रहा है. इससे पहले फ्रांस ने Microsoft Teams और Zoom जैसे प्लेटफॉर्म को भी हटाने का फैसला लिया था और उनकी जगह अपने देश का बना हुआ वीडियो कॉलिंग टूल इस्तेमाल करने की योजना बनाई है.

डिजिटल सॉवरेनिटी हर देश के लिए जरूरी

इस पूरे कदम को डिजिटल सॉवरेनिटी यानी डिजिटल इंडिपेंडेंस से जोड़ा जा रहा है. इसका मतलब है कि कोई भी देश अपनी टेक्नोलॉजी और डेटा के लिए दूसरे देशों पर डिपेंडेंट न रहे. खासकर ऐसे समय में जब ग्लोबल पॉलिटिक्स और टेक कंपनियों के बीच टेंशन बढ़ रही है, यह फैसला और भी अहम हो जाता है.

रिपोर्ट्स के अनुसार फ्रांस के लाखों सरकारी कंप्यूटर इस बदलाव का हिस्सा होंगे. यह दुनिया के सबसे बड़े सॉफ्टवेयर माइग्रेशन में से एक हो सकता है. इससे न सिर्फ टेक्नोलॉजी में बदलाव आएगा, बल्कि खर्च और डेटा सिक्योरिटी पर भी असर पड़ेगा.

हालांकि यह रास्ता आसान नहीं होगा. Windows से Linux पर जाना सिर्फ सॉफ्टवेयर बदलना नहीं है, बल्कि पूरे सिस्टम, ट्रेनिंग और वर्कफ्लो को बदलना होगा.

पहले भी कई देशों और शहरों ने Linux अपनाने की कोशिश की है, जिनमें कुछ सफल रहे और कुछ को बाद में वापस Windows पर लौटना पड़ा.

फिर भी फ्रांस का यह कदम एक बड़ा संकेत देता है. आने वाले समय में और देश भी इस दिशा में जा सकते हैं. खासकर यूरोप में पहले से ही इस बात पर चर्चा हो रही है कि विदेशी टेक कंपनियों पर निर्भरता कम की जाए.

कुल मिलाकर यह फैसला सिर्फ फ्रांस का नहीं, बल्कि पूरी दुनिया के लिए एक बड़ा मैसेज है. टेक्नोलॉजी अब सिर्फ सुविधा का मामला नहीं रह गया है, बल्कि यह नेशनल सिक्योरिटी, पॉलिटिक्स और कंट्रोल से भी जुड़ा हुआ है. आने वाले समय में यह देखना दिलचस्प होगा कि क्या भारत और दूसरे देश भी Windows छोड़कर Linux की तरफ बढ़ते हैं या नहीं.

Rocket Lab Sends Up Test Satellites for Europe’s Next-Gen Navigation System

0
Rocket Lab’s Electron rocket effectively introduced two Celeste navigation satellites from New Zealand on March 28, 2026. The release was once the primary European low Earth orbit navigation demonstrator. The “Daughter of the Stars” challenge put the satellites in a round Sun-synchronous orbit at an altitude of 510 km over the Earth. The pathfinder satellites raise experimental payloads to check new alerts within the L- and S-frequency bands.
