Tesla offers its proprietary charger as NACS open standard: Why it matters

It seems like the United States of America, Canada, and Mexico are set to get their own EC charging standard as Tesla is opening up the gates to its technology, offering its proprietary connector as the North American Charging Standard.

Even though the company’s co-founder, Elon Musk, is caught up in Twitter business, and that could have some ramifications on Tesla, the latter’s new initiative could garner positive responses, especially from electric vehicle industry.

As stated in the release published on their official blog, Tesla gave their rationale behind this change. They wrote, “In pursuit of our mission to accelerate the world’s transition to sustainable energy, today we are opening our EV connector design to the world. We invite charging network operators and vehicle manufacturers to put the Tesla charging connector and charge port, now called the North American Charging Standard (NACS), on their equipment and vehicles.”

The design files of the charging connector were also published for download as a part of this announcement. From the numbers published in the release, it was stated that the number of charging stations fitted with NACS, are much higher than the ones with CCS (Combined Charging System). The company also published images comparing the two chargers, illustrating the differences between what the chargers look like now, and what could they potentially look like if things go ahead!

This move could potentially put an end to the disparity between different charging connectors being fitted into the EVs being offered by several brands in the region. Additionally, if and when, Tesla moves to markets like India, this move could be seen as a great precedent by the auto manufacturers as we look to cut down on emissions and waste as a whole.

How to easily discern Actually verified and Paid for verification Twitter accounts using the Eight Dollars extension

Elon Musk’s $ 7.99-a-month Twitter Blue subscription push has been chaotic. As it offers a blue checkmark to the new paid subscribers, there has been a torrent of fake Twitter accounts with a blue tick created as fun pranks or to disseminate misinformation. Now, even though there’s a way to discern the paid-for verification accounts from the actually verified ones, the official solution from Twitter isn’t so quickly accessible. That is where the new extension/add-on by Will Seagar and Walter Lim comes in handy.

The extension is funnily named Eight Dollars, and it is currently supported by Google Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. Soon, it will be compatible with other browsers like Safari too. Here, we’ll see how it works on Chromium browsers like Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome. But first, let’s understand how to check whether an account has paid for verification or not.

How to see who paid for the blue tick on Twitter

Go to any account with a verified tick mark, tap on the tick and you will see either of the following:

This account is verified because it’s notable in government, news, entertainment, or other designated category. This account is verified because it’s subscribed to Twitter Blue.

The former accounts are also showing an Official tag, for now. However, this is visible only in selected places like the profile page, for example.

How to install and use the Eight Dollars extension on Chrome

Eight Dollars extension is available on Chrome Web Store and Firefox Add-ons store. Just install it and ensure you have it enabled.

Open the Twitter website on your browser and you will see Actually Verified and Paid for Verification badges alongside the Twitter handles at all places wherever the tick would appear.

Now, for some reason, if you want to install the extension manually, follow the instructions on the developer's GitHub page.

Poco X5 5G spotted on BIS, FCC databases Indian launch could be imminent

The Poco X4 made its debut not too long ago. Regardless, the company already seems to be working on its successor – the Poco X5 5G. Moreover, the handset was recently spotted on both the BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) and FCC (Federal Communications Commision) certification databases. This could mean that the Poco X5 5G’s launch in the Indian and US market is imminent since the handset reportedly got approval from the BIS and FCC.

The Poco X5 will be the first model in the Poco X5 series and will succeed the X4 series that included smartphones such as the Poco X4 GT and Poco X4 Pro 5G. The phone is expected to launch later this year along with other models in the X5 series. According to MySmartPrice, the Poco X5 5G appeared on the BIS and FCC databases with model numbers 2101320I and 22101320G respectively. The Indian variant of the Poco X5 5G is rumoured to have the model number 33101320I on the BIS website.

While the BIS listing did not reveal any details of the Poco X5, the FCC spotting suggests certain specifications of the device. Let’s find out the expected specifications of the Poco X5 5G that were spotted on the FCC listing and some rumoured specifications.

Poco X5 5G Expected Specifications and Availability

The FCC listing suggests that the upcoming Poco X5 5G will feature a rectangular camera module for its array of rear cameras. The device may run on MIUI 14 (possibly on top of Android 13) and is reported to support dual-band Wi-Fi connectivity. The new 5G device is expected to support 6 5G bands including n5, n7, n38, n41, n77, and n78. Furthermore, the device is reported to be powered by a 4,900 mAh battery, which could be marketed as a 5,000 mAh cell. 

Other rumours and discussions surrounding the Poco X5 5G suggest that the phone will feature an IPS LCD panel with 120 Hz refresh rate support. It is also tipped that the phone will feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G+ SoC – a rather powerful mid-range SoC. 

So far, no official announcements have been made by Poco about the imminent Indian launch of the Poco X5 5G, however, Poco India chief Himanshu Tandon did recently put out a tweet hinting at the launch of a new handset which could be the Poco X5 5G.

A #pocofan shared this with me. This is false, BTW  We have something better planned. Stay tuned  https://t.co/2I56TZXPWb

— Himanshu Tandon (@Himanshu_POCO) November 5, 2022

The device was also previously spotted on the IMEI database; both the global and Indian variant. All signs indicate the imminent launch of the Poco X5 5G in India, so stay tuned to our website to know as soon as the device is announced.

Reddit now allows users to mute sub-Reddits

Reddit is the self-proclaimed front page of the internet. The platform has evolved over the years to come to be the way it is today. Most people on Reddit end up joining more sub-Reddits than they can keep up with, and the notifications end up annoying them. However, to the rescue of such users comes the latest feature from the developers of the platform, which would let users mute sub-Reddits that they do not like.

This feature had first been teased in Reddit posts after the user blocking feature was introduced. Reddit, while making the announcement about community muting via a post on r/reddit, made callbacks to these posts, connecting the dots for unsuspecting users.

As per user – u/enthusiastic-potato, who is a moderator of the official Reddit community, the changes are being made to ensure that the users have more control over the content that they see in their feeds, or as they called it, “their Reddit experience”. To help the users navigate through the changes made to the platform, there was also a support article posted reddithelp.com, containing a step-by-step guide on how to mute a sub-Reddit.

If you decide to mute a community, you will still be able to partake in its activities. You will be able to view posts and comment on them too! However, there is an upper limit on the number of communities that a user can mute. The post said – “Note that you can mute up to 1,000 communities and as many as you'd like per day within that limit.”

This feature is being rolled out first to Android users, followed by the ones using iOS devices. After that, the website would get this update. Reddit has also urged users to reach out to the platform’s support team if they see content that may adversely affect the platform and its users.

Ash Ketchum is finally the worlds greatest Pokemon trainer

The latest episode of Pokemon Ultimate Journeys: The Series which premiered in Japan saw Ash's Pikachu defeat Leon's Charizard to win the Pokemon World Coronation Series Masters Eight Tournament. In case you don't remember Leon or haven't played the recent Pokemon Sword and Shield games (review), Leon is the champion of those games, i.e., the Galar Region.

Pokemon Master – The Dream

The Pokemon World Coronation Series Masters Eight Tournament is a tourney that pits champions from across the world against each other, and several fan favourites, such as Cynthia, Iris, Steven and Lance showed up for the tournament. In beating Leon and winning the tournament, Ash has effectively proven himself as the strongest of all Pokemon League Champions; the dream he set out from Pallet Town to achieve way back in 1997.

If you're someone who has been following the Pokemon series since its inception in 1997, well in our case, the early 2000s, then you most certainly know how much of a big deal this is for Ash. Ash has historically had tough runs in most of the previous Leagues he's participated in, and it was only in 2019 when he beat Gladion to become the Alolan Champion that he won his first ever League. That was essentially what got him his ticket to the Master's Eight tournaments as well.

What's next for Pokemon and Ash?

Ash may have won it all for now, but with the new Pokemon games, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet just around the corner, Ash will certainly be having a lot more adventures. With a huge feather in his cap this time around, it will certainly be interesting to see how folks from the new region will react to Ash. Speaking of which, Ash will have a whole new region to explore, the Paldea region, and all of its new and unique Pokemon to encounter.

We've certainly made a lot of fun of Ash in the past for his questionable choices in the series, but he's certainly proven himself this time around. Now all we need to know is the secret to his eternal youth.
