JANDK Operations Private Limited, Developer of Indigenous Indian Mobile OS BharOS, Has a Director With a Controversial Past
JANDK OPERATIONS PRIVATE LIMITED is a Chennai-based startup that has developed BharOS, an indigenous mobile operating system. A while back, we made a post regarding how it's a fork of GrapheneOS despite it's big claims.
The company's two directors are Karthik Ayyar, a technology enthusiast, and Jaffar Sait, a former Indian Police Service officer.
Sait's history is checkered, to say the least. In 2011, he was suspended by the Tamil Nadu government for alleged fraud in acquiring residential plots from the Tamil Nadu Housing Board. [1]
In 2014, the Madras High Court ordered the shutdown of a website that leaked tapes of telephonic conversations between Sait and DMK MP Kanimozhi, which were related to the 2G spectrum scam. [2]
The website even posted a public plea to stop his promotion[3]
In 2019, the Madras High Court quashed a criminal case against Sait for alleged loss caused to the Tamil Nadu Housing Board. [4]
Sait retired as DGP in 2021, showing the plea failed.[5]
However, in 2022, he appeared before the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for questioning in a money laundering case. The ED subsequently attached his properties.[6] [7]
A case regarding his wife is still ongoing[8]

iPhones have a QR code hidden under the screen
Source
Similar to iPhoneโs internal components, even the iPhone screen has a hidden barcode surprisingly.
There are actually two QR codes engraved in every iPhone screen which are added to different areas on screen at different stages of manufacturing of iPhone's glass
The smaller barcode is a matrix of 625 dots embedded with lasers.
Apple developed this system 2020 which helps Apple track & reduce defects in production line
Two Chinese display companies โ Lens Technology and Biel Crystal falsified their reports to Apple as 30% of iPhone screens used to be thrown away as faulty
Apple has now paid millions of dollars to install laser & a scanning equipment at Lens and Biel factories to add the microscopic QR code & scan the cover glass at the end of the production
Smaller code keeps track of allegedly faulty display & a larger code tells Apple which Chinese firm supplied truly broken display
Now, the failure rate is down to 10% only.

IITM provided clarification over BharOS being GrapheneOS Fork
BharOS is developed by JandK Operations, incubated by IIT Madras Pravartak and funded by Govt. of India
Now, IITM is a "client" of Megam Solutions whose founder is Sadhasiva1984, so it was assumed that JandKops "outsourced" the BharOS development to Megam Solutions
But IITM said: "An engineer of Megam (who is the CEO itself) wanted to try PORTING Android, so he used BharOS name "unintentionally".
In short IITM said Everything is just a "coincident"
> BharOS is for orgs who have security requirements
> BharOS is accessible to orgs through 5G private networks
> IITM is a client of Megam
> Megam is 5G & security company
> Megam wanted to try porting Android
> Out of so many AOSP forks, they chose Graphene
> It was named BharOS
> The fork is SAME as BharOS
IITM also said BharOS is open-sourced but after 9 months, it isn't yet
So "Either" IITM is saying truth & Sadhasiva is retarded OR this is just a half hearted explanation

Xiaomi's DXOMARK Twist: A Comedy Act!
GitHub
Redmi K40/ POCO F3/ Mi 11X are codenamed "Alioth." In Alioth's Kernel source, there exist "camera-dxo" & "camera-nonedxo" files
Its like Xiaomi phones have a split personality when it comes to photography
Camera-dxo means Xiaomi has a dedicated camera driver specifically designed & written for DXO and ENTIRE HAL stacks for it
This HAL enables some special tuning when the camera algorithm detects DXO test patterns
So Xiaomi made it just to prove that they are best in pictures but in reality, they are a CLOWN
Stock MIUI uses dxo-camera, So Xiaomi does cheating in software & folks after buying Xiaomi wonder why their cameras are SHIT compared to Pixels or iPhones
With Mi 11 Ultra, Xiaomi left dxo cam blobs & shipped the AOSP engineering units to dxomark with MIUI cam for evaluation
After that, DXOMARK gave Mi 11 Ultra TOP ranking & Xiaomi lit up their HQ to celebrate it
Imagine celebrating something you won by paying them. That's Xiaomi

Google considering shifting Pixels manufacturing to India amid Vietnam workers leaks
Source
Google is considering shifting Pixel production to India due to repeated leaks from Compal Vietnam factory workers.
Over the past 3-4 years, all of the Pixel photos or videos that have been leaked before the official launch have been done by factory workers.
The first Pixel 8 Pro was leaked by a factory worker, and YouTubers are also getting their hands on it.
Vendors near the Compal Pixel factory in Vietnam are stealing Pixel phones from the factory and selling them unofficially before the official launch.
Compal appears to have difficulty keeping secrets, so Google is considering shifting Pixel production to India, where it is hoped that factory leaks will halt.
Sadly, this switch would mean that many Compal Vietnam factory workers would lose their jobs if Google cuts off its ties.

Samsung Dream Chip Leaks
Source
Samsung is building a new high-end custom processor for the Galaxy S series which will compete with iPhone's A series chips
Samsung has set up a "Dream Team" consisting of 1000 employees for this project. This Dream chip will power Samsung Galaxy S25 series which will release in 2025
Dream chip will be built upon Samsung 2nd Gen 3nm node GAA architecture
Config 1:
1x Cortex-X5 @ 3.3Ghz (upto)
3x Cortex-X5 @ 2.5Ghz (upto)
2x Cortex-A720
4x Cortex-A520
A 1+2+3+4 configuration of 10 cores BUT this has been changed now
New Config:
Four of the Cortex-X5 has been reduced to one, and the three of X5 has been changed to mid-core which is some Cortex-A
Configuration could be:
1+5+4
OR
1+7+2
Dream chip will be Deca-core (10 cores)
Coming to GPU, this Dream Team SoC will feature Samsungโs custom GPU built in partnership with AMD and will use IP from its Radeon technology
Also, the focus will be on optimization of the GPU rather than raw performance

Google Pixel 8 series spotted on Geekbench
Google Pixel 8 series will be powered by Google tensor G3 chipset codenamed "Zuma"
Tensor G3 clock-speed acc to Geekbench
1x Cortex-X3 @ 2.91GHz
4 x Cortex-A715 @ 2.37GHz
4 x Cortex-A510 @ 1.70GHz
So, 4+4+1 configuration of 9 cores & based on ARMv9 cores
Pixel 8 Pro with 12GB RAM
Single-core: 1760
Multi-core: 4442
Pixel 8 with 8GB RAM
Single-core: 1563
Multi-core: 4159
So, Tensor G3 scores equal to Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 and with a custom kernel, it can easily defeat SD 8+ Gen 1
Note: Tensor G3 will also support Memory Tagging Extensions (MTE) to prevent memory-based attacks.
So if MTE feature is turned ON, it will reduce performance, thereby affecting the Geekbench scores
We DON'T know if the scores published are with MTE feature turned ON or not

BMW Wireless Charging is breaking iPhone 15 series NFC chip
Source
Some BMW owners are reporting that their iPhone 15's NFC chip NO longer works after charging the device with BMW's wireless charging pad
Their iPhones goes into a data recovery mode with a white screen & the NFC chip is NO longer functional after the device reboots
NFC chip in smartphones is used for digital car keys and even for doing payments with Apple Pay, Google Wallet/Pay
Apple replaced their iPhones after confirming NFC is broken but the replaced iPhone units are still vulnerable to the same issue, so currently there is NO permanent solution.
