Indian government moves to ban ProtonMail after bomb threat.

A ProtonMail account was used to send threats to 13 schools in Tamil Nadu. The Tamil Nadu police, unable to trace the sender's IP address and failing to receive assistance from Interpol, requested India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) to block access to ProtonMail within the country.

MeitY issued an order yesterday afternoon under Section 69A of the IT Act to block ProtonMail. While the final order hasn't reached the Department of Telecommunications (DoT), MeitY has alerted DoT about the issue. Proton acknowledged receiving notice from MeitY about a potential block. The DoT's enforcement will likely involve removing ProtonMail from the App Store and Play Store and blocking the service in the region. Currently, the website is operational, and the app remains listed on both storefronts.

Nvidia has released 'Chat with RTX,' an AI chatbot (demo app) that runs locally on PCs

The chatbot allows users to personalize responses by inputting documents, text files, PDFs, and YouTube videos, swiftly indexing them locally to create its knowledge database. It runs locally on a PC, requiring an RTX 30- or 40-series GPU with at least 8GB of VRAM. Sensitive data stays on the device rather than being sent to the cloud.

However, there are some limitations to Chat with RTX as it is an early developer demo, such as the lack of context carryover between questions and inadequate handling of follow-ups. Additionally, source attribution isn’t always accurate. Nonetheless, Nvidia aims to refine it.

For those worried about personal file uploads and subscription costs to platforms like Copilot Pro or ChatGPT Plus, this free, locally-run app can alleviate those concerns.

PhonePe launches Indus Appstore Developer Platform! Developer registrations are now open, offering free listings for the first year and zero platform fees or commissions on In-App Payments. The platform also provides support for third-party payment providers…
PhonePe is set to launch its Indus Appstore for users tomorrow, February 21.

indusappstore.com

It will be available in English and 12 Indian languages, enabling users to explore the App Store in their preferred language. The app store aims to differentiate itself from the likes of Google Play Store and Apple App Store by not charging developers any platform fee or commission for in-app payments. Developers will also be free to integrate any payment gateway of their choice within their apps.

Can it challenge the duopoly of Apple and Google in the app library ecosystem?
