Group representing TikTok, Meta, X sues US state over law limiting kids’ use of social media

0
 A trade group representing TikTok, Snapchat, Meta and other major tech companies sued Ohio over a pending law that requires children to get parental consent to use social media apps. The law was part of an Ohio’s law — which requires social media companies to obtain a parent’s permission for children under 16 to sign up for social media and gaming apps — unconstitutionally impedes free speech and is overbroad and vague. The law also requires social media companies to provide parents with their privacy guidelines, so that families can know what content will be censored or moderated on their child’s profile.

“We at NetChoice believe families equipped with educational resources are capable of determining the best approach to online services and privacy protections for themselves,” Chris Marchese, director of the organization’s litigation center, said in a statement. “With NetChoice v. Yost, we will fight to ensure all Ohioans can embrace digital tools without their privacy, security and rights being thwarted.”

The group has won lawsuits against similar restrictions in California and Arkansas.

Husted, who leads Ohio’s technology initiatives and championed the law, called Friday’s lawsuit “cowardly but not unexpected.”

“In filing this lawsuit, these companies are determined to go around parents to expose children to harmful content and addict them to their platforms,” Husted said in a statement.

He alleged the companies know their algorithms are harming children “with catastrophic health and mental health outcomes.”

Kohler’s New Hand Shower Might Actually Turn Your Bathroom Into a Spa

0

Kohler is on a mission to make the bathroom a hot spot for cutting-edge technology. The luxury kitchen and bathroom company is always pushing the boundaries for what a trip to the toilet or shower can be. Today, ahead of next week’s CES show in Las Vegas, Kohler announced a lineup of fanciful bathroom toys that include a smart bidet seat attachment compatible with Alexa and Google Home (finally), a hand shower that shoots microbubbles and accommodates a range of cleansing attachments and it’s first-ever smart bathroom ceiling fan that measures temperature and humidity in the room and adjusts itself accordingly. 

We’ll get to see Kohler’s lineup firsthand at CES next week. For now, here’s everything Kohler is unveiling to get your bathroom of the future, today.

SpaViva Handshower and Cleansing 

<!–>

Plenty of products claim to turn your shower into a “spa” but the Kohler SpaViva hand shower really might. 

Kohler

This is the bathroom gadget I’m dying to try. Kohler’s new SpaViva combines custom spray technology and a built-in cleansing device to transform your morning spritz into something that sounds like a true spa treatment. 

The hand shower pairs heat-retaining Katalyst spray with a microbubble spray that jets out bubbles 100 microns or smaller for a hydrofacial-style cleanse. Fixed to the hand shower is a cleansing device, with a rotating lineup of attachments including those for exfoliating, massaging and pumice scrubbing. All the attachments recharge through a magnetic dock. 

The SpaViva starts at $249. 

PureWash E930 bidet seat

This is not Kohler’s first bidet seat attachment, but it is the first one that’s compatible with smart home assistants including Alexa and Google. Yes, now you can have your virtual assistant do all the, erm, dirty work. The PureWash features heated seats, adjustable water temperatures (ahhh) and pressure. It has a contactless opening in a slim, elongated design and is available in black or white for $2,149, which is a lot of money but still cheaper than most full smart toilets. 

Voice activation via Alexa or Google Home allows hands-free control of the spray, dryer and UV cleaning systems for less points of contact and cleaner going experience.

Anthem Plus smart showering valves and controls

Kohler’s Anthem spa shower control saw some key feature updates in 2024.

Kohler

An update to Kohler’s shower spa command center includes an integrated digital control system that allows customized delivery of water, light, sound and steam. A touchscreen enables you to preset multisensory shower experiences. All of this can be controlled through the Kohler Konnect app so you can curate the perfect shower before you’ve even dropped trou. 

The smart shower controller starts at $2,800.

Atmo smart fan

Kohler’s Atmo smart bathroom fan ($266) detects temperature and moisture and jumps into action accordingly.

Kohler

Atmo is Kohler’s first foray into the fan category. These smart ceiling fans measure temperature and humidity to automatically turn on when humidity is high. You can also set custom preferences for default fan speed, lighting brightness, color temperature and more. It retails for a surprisingly reasonable $266.

Kohler will also feature an expanded range of smart toilets at this year’s show including new variations of Numi 2.0, Innate and Veil, as well as 2023 CES Innovation Award honoree, Stillness Bath.

Aditya-L1 mission a huge success! ISRO spacecraft to watch Sun reaches parking spot

0
After the Chandrayaan-3 mission success (landing a craft on moon’s south pole last year), the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has done the nation proud again by ensuring a resounding triumph in yet another on of its endeavours – the Aditya-L1 mission! ISRO just revealed that the Aditya-L1 spacecraft has reached Lagrange 1 (L1) point, which was its designated parking space. In effect, Aditya-L1 mission has reached its destination quite successfully and without a glitch.

Aditya-L1 mission objective

Aditya-L1 spacecraft is on a solar observation mission. Aditya-L1, which took off in September 2023 to dig deep into the sun’s working, reached a point 1.5 million kilometers (932,000 miles) from Earth, according to ISRO on Saturday after it gave it some last minute instructions to effect some manoeuvres. The location is a fraction of the 150 million kilometer distance between Earth and the sun.

With the Chandrayaan-3 mission, ISRO landed a spacecraft near the moon’s south pole in 2023 and it came just after Russia’s attempt at a lunar touch down in the same area ended in failure following an engine malfunction.

The Indian Space Research Organisation is working on other projects including a human spaceflight program that aims to launch astronauts into orbit for the first time possibly by 2025. It is called the Gaganyaan mission.

“It is a testament to the relentless dedication of our scientists in realising among the most complex and intricate space missions,” PM Modi said of Aditya-L1 on social media platform X. “I join the nation in applauding this extraordinary feat. We will continue to pursue new frontiers of science for the benefit of humanity.”

Indian Police Force Trailer Drops: Sidharth Malhotra, Shilpa Shetty, Vivek Oberoi Play Fearless Cops

0
Indian Police Force trailer has finally been released by Amazon Prime Video. The trailer for the first season of the series, billed as the next chapter in the Cop Universe, begins with a Delhi Police official addressing his team about a terrorist attack in the markets of Delhi and chalking out a plan to catch the perpetrators. Meanwhile, as the disturbing news comes up that the attacks are not likely to stop at Delhi, panic broils. The three-minute-long trailer gives plenty of glimpses of bomb blasts, police chases, action sequences, and a sense of urgency and loss.

Sidharth Malhotra plays a Special Cell officer from Delhi Police hell-bent on catching the terrorists, putting a stop to their nefarious plans and seeking justice — even if it requires him to break a rule or two. His approach doesn’t seem to sit quite well with Shilpa Shetty Kundra’s character, who is a senior police officer in the story. Playing other pivotal roles are Vivek Oberoi, Shweta Tiwari, Nikitin Dheer, Rituraj Singh, Mukesh Rishi, and Lalit Parimoo.

The high-octane action drama belongs to Rohit Shetty’s Cop Universe, which also has Singham Againslated for release later this year. Although none of the protagonists from the franchise can be seen in the trailer, Rohit Shetty’s signature larger-than-life action sequences with cars blowing up like pieces of Lego are very much there.

Indian Police Force is a tribute of sorts to the contribution of dedicated Indian police officers working against the odds. The seven-part series is another Amazon Original and will premiere January 19, a week before Republic Day.

The series has been primarily shot in Maharashtra, Goa, Delhi and Greater Noida. It also marks Rohit Shetty’s debut in the digital streaming space. While Sidharth Malhotra will be essaying the role of a cop for the first time, he has done his fair share of patriotic cinema, with Shershaah— which was also an Amazon Original — being his biggest hit in the genre to date.

He’ll again be donning the hat of a dedicated nation-loving soldier in Yodha, in which he’ll be seen rescuing the passengers of a hijacked plane, fighting terrorists, and devising a survival strategy after the plane’s engine dies.

Google Restricts Downloads of Airalo, Holafly in India for Not Complying With DoT Policy: Report

0
Google has restricted access to the apps of international eSIM providers Airalo and Holafly for users in India for not complying with existing telecom policies in the country, according to a report. The blocking of the apps, that provide access to SIM cards that provide access to calling and data while traveling to various countries, was reportedly done in compliance with directions issued by the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) to both Google and Apple. The latter is yet to block downloads of both apps in the country.

A Moneycontrol report citing unnamed sources states that Google has restricted downloads of Airalo and Holafly for users in India via the Google Play store, as both apps did not have the required No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the DoT to sell or rent international roaming SIM cards to users in the country. The DoT has reportedly directed Google and Apple to block downloads of the apps in India, as they lacked the requisite approvals to operate in the country.

Both Airalo and Holafly are currently unavailable in India

 

According to the DoT’s revised policy for the issue or renewal of NOCs for sale and rent of international roaming SIM cards or global calling cards for foreign operations in India that went into effect in January 2022, foreign operators must receive a NOC from the DoT in order to sell or rent international roaming SIM cards to customers in India. As per data available on the DoT’s website, 22 providers were granted an NOC as of September 30, 2023.

In order to receive an NOC from the DoT, providers must be registered as an Indian company and provide usage of the international cards outside India. They must also collect a copy of a user’s passport with the visa, proof of identity, and proof of address. They must also provide security agencies with a detailed monthly report complete with details of the customers who have been provided with SIM cards, as per the policy.

Gadgets 360 staff members were unable to download both Airalo and Holafly on an Android smartphone via the Google Play store, but the apps were still accessible via the App Store on iOS. A government source told Moneycontrol that discussions were ongoing with the iPhone maker in order to restrict access to both apps on the company’s smartphones in the country, which means the apps could be blocked at a later stage. Gadgets 360 has reached out to Google, Apple, and the DoT for comment and will update this article with their responses.
