Samsung Galaxy A55 5G: Mid-Range Master or Monotonous Mobile?

Image
Launched in early 2024, the Samsung Galaxy A55 5G sits firmly in the mid-range smartphone category. But does it offer enough to entice buyers in a crowded market? Let's delve into its features and see if the A55 5G lives up to the "Awesome" moniker Samsung has given it. Design and Display: The A55 5G boasts a sleek design with a metal frame and a large 6.6-inch display. The panel utilizes a FHD+ resolution (1080 x 2340 pixels) and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, offering a comfortable viewing experience for everyday tasks and multimedia consumption. While not the top-of-the-line resolution, it keeps costs down and ensures the phone runs smoothly. The phone comes in two color options: Awesome Iceblue and Awesome Navy. Both options exude a premium feel, and the phone's build quality feels solid. An under-display fingerprint sensor provides secure and convenient unlocking. Performance and Software: Under the hood, the A55 5G packs Samsung's Exynos 1480 processor, paired

Raghuram Rajan image courtesy: thehindubusinessline.com "Emergency declared after Raghuram Rajan says no to 2nd term: the sun will not rise for next 15 days" read a heading in Unreal times. That faking news is kind of how paranoid and extreme the reactions have been. Of the 50,000 people who have tweeted about the issue 49988 don't seem to know what they are talking about! I see this as an opportunity for another "Made easy" article! Indian Economics and RBI made easy. I will write another piece on Stock markets. For now let us stick to RBI. Why exactly do we need something like an RBI? For a variety of reasons. Say, you have earned 5 lakh Rs. Being a middle class guy you go and put that in an FD in ICICI Bank. What if the manager is secretly traveling to Kashi and dumping your money in Ganga ? Or worse, what if he is using this money to produce Himesh Reshammiya's next film("Hamaarrrrrraa Surroorrrr" with as many "R"s stuffe

What is National Herald Case all About?

Image
Its a long post ... have patience to read it completely... I'll divide my answer into points and it might be long. So, lets start with some History. Its the pre-independence era. There was a company formed and named Associate Journals Limited ( AJL ). This was a publishing house which published newspapers in Hindi and Urdu portraying views about the importance of freedom, etc. The  National Herald  was the English newspaper which was published by AJL. Jawaharlal Nehru was the chairperson of AJL at the time it was established. During the Emergency, this paper stopped its publication. It revived itself in 1986 but fully stopped its publication again in 2008 with a debt of about 90 crores. Now, let's come to what the "scam" here is. So, AJL is running in loss. The Indian National Congress( INC ) decides to give it a loan of about  90 crores  to cover its losses and pay it debts. In November of 2010, a new company called The Young Indian Limit

Why Pattiseema Project?

Annually, approximately 3000 TMC of Godavari river water is wasted into the Bay of Bengal. In a bid to direct that water to arid regions in Rayalaseema, CBN conceived the idea of Pattiseema project. Image courtesy: South Report The Pattiseema lift irrigation project would lift the surplus flooding water from river godavari into the Right Canal of Polavaram which is nearly complete. Under the Bachawat tribunal and inter-state agreement, 80 tmc of water can be diverted from River Godavari to River Krishna.  The water from Pattiseema project will travel 160 kms. and will join River Krishna at Vijayawada in the up waters of Prakasam barrage. Water will then be supplied to the Rayalaseema through Pothireddypadu head regulator for its Irrigational and Domestic needs making it a drought free region.

Difference between milk storage in the US & India

Image
A  Redditor asks about difference between milk storage in the US & India "  My friend in US says they buy big bottles of milk and use it over weeks. I'm from India and we buy milk in pouches. It gets stale in 2-3 days. How does milk in US stays fresh for weeks? " Then an Engineer who designs Dairy Equipment and has specifically studied milk distribution in India showed up on the thread and he explained the difference between milk storage in the US & India. Here is the Answer:- The vast majority of Indian milk distribution is usually carried out at " ambient temperature " meaning it isn't cooled in any way, and isn't distributed in pouches. Usually, it takes about 4 hours for milk to be transported to your doodhwallas (milk delivery people), who then add water to it, and sell it on to their customers. Average time for milk to go from cow to the customers is 6 hours. By most dairy standards, this milk is already unfit for human consumpti

The Abrams that was destroyed by the Houthi rebels

Image
It was part of a Saudi-led ground operation in Yemen, involving US-made Abrams M1 tanks and other armored vehicles. A video shows what are said to be Houthi rebels in Yemen using old Soviet-designed Fagot anti-tank guided missiles to destroy American-made, Saudi Arabian-owned and operated Abrams M1 MBT. A direct hit by a Fagot missile just below the M1’s turret led to the detonation of the tank’s ordnance payload stored in the turret’s back. This is the weakest spot of America’s main battle tank, which leaves the crew with virtually no chance of survival. The Fagot antitank missile system entered operational service in 1970. Its missile uses a 2.5 kg High Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT) warhead which can penetrate up to 600 mm of conventional steel armor and has an effective range of up to 2,500 m through the use of an improved solid propellant sustainer rocket motor and lengthened guidance wire.
