IIT Madras develops a "Made in India" Operating System
Source
BharOS, an "indigenous" Mobile OS has been released which can be installed on commercial off-the-shelf handsets and can be provided to organizations that have stringent privacy and security requirements and where users handle sensitive information.
Features:
No Default Apps: The BharOS has 0 default apps giving users control over app trust and permissions by not pre-installing apps.
PASS: Organisation-specific Private App Store Services (PASS) provides list of safe, thoroughly vetted apps & have have been checked for security and privacy standards.
OTA: Short for Over The Air, updates are automatically downloaded & installed on the device.
Longer Battery Life: Having only 3-5 or more apps of your choice on whole device, this will give more SOT to users
BharOS is developed by JandK Operations Pvt Ltd, incubated by IIT Madras's Foundation which is a non-profit company and is funded by Department of Science and Technology, Government of India.
The company did not mention anything about it basing on AOSP (Android Open Source Project) or not as they are calling it "indigeneous", but the screenshots show us that it's likely CalyxOS (an Android-based custom ROM). CalyxOS ships Signal and DuckDuckGo along with QuickStep Launcher which are the same shown in BharOS. It also uses the AOSP keyboard.

Google's answer to Apple's AirTag
Source
Google's Bluetooth tracker is codenamed as “Grogu” with its alternate names being “GR10” & “Groguaudio.”
Google’s tracker will come equipped with a speaker, offer support for ultra-wide band (UWB) and Bluetooth Low Energy (LE). It will be developed by the Nest team and will come in multiple colors.
“Locator tag” has also been included in the developer console for Fast Pair
An Italian designer, Obi Fidler designed a hypothetical concept of Google's Tracker starting by asking himself:
Google’s got everything in place. The ecosystem, map network, hardware chops, highly capable Tensor chip, so why hasn’t Google built a tracking device yet? Heck, it even has the market penetration needed! (Pun intended)
He named it as "G Spot" and tracker's cases as ‘protection’.
The tracker's concept says “oh no you’ve found my G- Spot”💀.
I would die laughing if Google ended up calling it G Spot because it means.... (Just Google the meaning of it for fun)

BREAKING: Xiaomi EU ends Fastboot and Recovery ROMs formats
Source
Recovery ROMs can be easily flashed by custom recovery like Ofox/TWRP or mobile. Its file extension is .zip and can also be installed through local updates
Fastboot ROMs can be flashed by only a PC. Suppose the phone is completely dead, and you are unable to open recovery mode in the phone then we use fastboot ROM for flash recovery and its extension is .tgz
Recovery and fastboot ROMs were only offered by Xiaomi for its Mi, Poco and Redmi devices.
Xiaomi.EU has announced that they have introduced a new format called as Hybrid ROMs as those ROMs are both Recovery ROMs and Fastboot ROMs, all in the same package.
Xiaomi didn't tell how does it technically works keeping it as a "secret", but it's a custom-made solution, at least on the recovery side of things, because AOSP never included such an option.
So, All ROMs from now on will be Hybrid ROMs with NO new suffix being added to the ZIP file name, just like typical Recovery ROMs, because those are valid Recovery ROMs for OTA purposes, that just happen to also have what's necessary to flash them with Fastboot.
Flashing with recovery has the advantage due to substantial boost in flashing speed with this method (around 30 seconds on a flagship).
2 ROMs in the new format have already been released:
• V13.0.6.0.SGKMIXM for spes/spesn (Redmi Note 11/ NFC )
• V14.0.6.0.TKICNXM for renoir (Mi 11 Lite 5G)
Supported devices tables will be updated soon.

Google will unveil 20 new AI products including a demo of its own search chatbot
Source
Google is in Code Red 🔴 because rival chatbot ChatGPT has shaken Google out of its routine, with the founders (Larry Page and Sergey Brin) who left 3yrs ago have been called in for help in the A.I fight
Google now intends to unveil more than 20 new products including a demo of its chatbot according to a slide presentation seen by NYTimes.
Some of the new products may include:
• Image Generation Studio: It "creates and edits images"
• AI Test Kitchen: v3 for testing prototypes
• Shopping Try-on: a "YouTube green screen feature to create backgrounds"
• Wallpaper maker for Pixels smartphones
• Maya: It will visualize 3D shoes
• Tool to summarize videos by making a new one
• Image creation technology for developers
• MakerSuite: Help businesses make AI prototypes
Some of these will be announced at Google I/O in May, 2023
In May, Google also expects to announce a tool to make it easier to build apps for Android smartphones:
• Colab + Android Studio: This will generate, complete and fix code
• PaLM-Coder 2: to generate and complete the code
The demo for the chatbot search says Google will prioritize “getting facts right, ensuring safety and getting rid of misinformation,”.
Google earlier said it’s avoided launching certain AI products because of the potential “reputational damage." but now this will mean they are behind the times.
