Tesla faces another US investigation: unexpected braking
U.S. auto safety regulators have launched another investigation of Tesla, this time tied to complaints that its cars can stop on roads for no apparent reason.
The government says it has 354 complaints from owners during the past nine months about “phantom braking” in Tesla Models 3 and Y. The probe covers an estimated 416,000 vehicles from the 2021 and 2022 model years.
No crashes or injuries were reported.
The vehicles are equipped with partially automated driver-assist features such as adaptive cruise control and “Autopilot,” which allows them to automatically brake and steer within their lanes.
Documents posted Thursday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration say the vehicles can unexpectedly brake at highway speeds.
“Complainants report that the rapid deceleration can occur without warning, and often repeatedly during a single drive cycle,” the agency says.
Many owners in the complaints say they feared a rear-end crash on a freeway.
The probe is another in a string of enforcement efforts by the agency that include Autopilot and “Full Self-Driving” software. Despite their names, neither feature can drive the vehicles without people supervising.
It’s the fourth formal investigation of Texas automaker in the past three years, and NHTSA is supervising 15 Tesla recalls since January of 2021. In addition, the agency has sent investigators to at least 33 crashes involving Teslas using driver-assist systems since 2016 in which 11 people were killed.
In one of the complaints, a Tesla owner from Austin, Texas, reported that a Model Y on Autopilot brakes repeatedly for no reason on two-lane roads and freeways.
“The phantom braking varies from a minor throttle response to decrease speed to full emergency braking that drastically reduces the speed at a rapid pace, resulting in unsafe driving conditions for occupants of my vehicle as well as those who might be following behind me,” the owner wrote in a complaint filed Feb. 2. People who file complaints are not identified in NHTSA’s public database.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has been fighting with U.S. and California government agencies for years, sparring with NHTSA and most notably with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Early Thursday, lawyers for Musk sent a letter to a federal judge in Manhattan accusing the SEC of harassing him with investigations and subpoenas over his Twitter posts. In 2018, Musk and Tesla each agreed to pay $20 million in civil fines over Musk’s tweets about having the money to take the company private at $420 per share. The funding was far from secured and the company remains public. The settlement specified governance changes, including Musk’s ouster as board chairman, as well approval of Musk’s tweets.
The letter from attorney Alex Spiro accuses the SEC of trying to “muzzle” Musk, largely because he’s an outspoken government critic. “The SEC’s outsized efforts seem calculated to chill his exercise of First Amendment rights rather than to enforce generally applicable laws in an even-handed fashion,” the letter states.
Shapiro questions why the SEC hasn’t distributed the $40 million in fines to Tesla shareholders more than three years after the settlement.
A message was left Thursday seeking comment from the SEC.
Just last week, NHTSA made Tesla recall nearly 579,000 vehicles in the U.S. because a “Boombox” function can play sounds over an external speaker and obscure audible warnings for pedestrians of an approaching vehicle. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, when asked on Twitter why the company agreed to the recall, responded: “The fun police made us do it (sigh).”
Michael Brooks, acting executive director of the nonprofit Center for Auto Safety, said it’s encouraging to see NHTSA’s enforcement actions “after years of turning the other way,” with Tesla. But he said the company keeps releasing software onto U.S. roads that isn’t tested to make sure it’s safe. “A piecemeal investigative approach to each problem that raises its head does not address the larger issue in Tesla’s safety culture — the company’s continued willingness to beta test its technology on the American public while misrepresenting the capabilities of its vehicles,” Brooks wrote in an email Thursday.
The Washington Post reported about a surge in phantom braking complaints from Tesla owners on Feb. 2.
Other recent recalls by Tesla were for “Full Self-Driving” equipped vehicles that were programmed to run stop signs at slow speeds, heating systems that don’t clear windshields quickly enough, seat belt chimes that don’t sound to warn drivers who aren’t buckled up, and to fix a feature that allows movies to play on touch screens while cars are being driven. Those issues were to be fixed with online software updates.
In August, NHTSA announced a probe of Teslas on Autopilot failing to stop for emergency vehicles parked on roadways. That investigation covers a dozen crashes that killed one person and injured 17 others.
Thursday’s investigation comes after Tesla recalled nearly 12,000 vehicles back in October for a similar phantom braking problem. The company sent out an online software update to fix a glitch with its more sophisticated “Full Self-Driving” software.
Tesla did a software update in late September that was intended to improve detection of emergency vehicle lights in low-light conditions.
Selected Tesla drivers have been beta testing the “Full Self-Driving” software on public roads. NHTSA also has asked the company for information about the testing, including a Tesla requirement that testers not disclose information.

iPhone 2022: Which country to buy the cheapest and best iPhones?
Out of the many countries that manufacture iPhones, a few stand out as being particularly quality producers. iPhone manufacturers from China, Taiwan, Thailand, Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Indonesia have been manufacturing these devices for a long time and have achieved a level of expertise unmatched by most other companies. However, among these countries, China has been manufacturing good-quality iPhones. Let’s see more detail about the best iphone manufacturers and where to buy iPhones at a cheap cost.
Which countries manufacture iPhones?
Most of the iPhone manufacturers are from East and Southeast Asia. It is because these counties have huge manpower and the labor force is the cheapest. China, Thailand, Taiwan, Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia are the main countries that participate in iPhone production.
However, a significant portion of iPhones are assembled in China. Around 80% of the iPhone 5s are assembled in China as they have some significant advantages over US factories.
Read How to Keep Your Old Phone Efficient like New?
In fact, many people consider any phone assembled or made in China to be the best-designed and well-made phone option available on the market. That said, good iPhones can come from just about anywhere in the world but China is Apple’s favorite.
However, the iPhone is designed in California, but they buy components from numerous suppliers from 43 countries located in six different continents. Upon the collection, the parts are then sent to the factories to assemble. After that, completed iPhones are shipped to a different warehouse across the world and then distributed to retailers.
Apple used to have almost all the factories out of the USA. But they have moved some factories in the USA as the overseas labor cost increases. Nonetheless, the company still sources the components from international suppliers.
Read Web 3.0: The Future of Internet
By looking at the structure and build of the iPhone, you know that the iPhone has hundreds of components. And each of those components is outsourced. For example, iPhone’s glass screen and camera come from Japan, batteries are built in China, and accelerometers are sourced from Germany. For your information, the accelerometer tracks the phone’s movement and activates geographical orientation.
How to choose the best iPhone in 2022?
It may be a little hard to believe, but the iPhone as we know it today has already been around for more than 15 years. The first model was released in 2007 with only 8 gigabytes of storage and no apps store. Now we have different models of iPhone with different specifications. Here are the things worth considering before buying a new iPhone:
Price
The upfront cost is only one factor to consider when comparing prices between different models and brands of iPhones on the market today. Now the iPhone has an overall 13 series with different configurations and prices. So, decide your budget before you look for other factors. The most recent release iPhone 13 Pro Max starts from $1099 while the cheapest one is iPhone SE which starts from $399.

Size
Like before smartphones became big, there was some belief that the larger screens were destined to become the norm. As it turns out, that’s most definitely not the case. For many people, even a smartphone is large enough to be uncomfortable to hold and use one-handed. That’s why iPhone comes in multiple sizes for all sizes of hands. Starting from 4” you have options to choose up to 6.7” iPhone.
Storage
Your iPhone is your gateway to information and entertainment. It’s also usually your primary communications device. The storage on a smartphone can be the difference between getting the next great job or being out of work for months or years due to lost productivity. Depending on the model, the iPhone comes with 32GB to 1TB storage. Just make sure that whatever model you choose has enough storage space to hold all of your important content, including pictures, videos, etc.

Screen
If you have the budget, you should choose an iPhone that offers high-definition screen resolution, because images and videos look better on a large, high-resolution screen. Higher resolution means more details in the image and greater clarity in the video. The lowest resolution you will get on iPhone SE is the 1136-by-640-pixel resolution at 326 ppi. On the other hand, the maximum resolution is the 2778-by-1284-pixel resolution at 458 ppi for iPhone 13 Pro Max.
Face ID
Right now, facial recognition is an option that’s available on all the iPhones that came out after 2017. It significantly reduces the amount of time you have to unlock your phone, and it’s incredibly secure. The feature is designed to recognize you even if you wear sunglasses, a hat, or a beard.
Camera
If you like taking photos and videos with your smartphone, then consider a camera that allows for built-in photo and video editing capabilities, also comes with a high-end camera. Although, all the iPhones have a good quality camera. For the best outcome, you can choose the latest iPhones.

Augmented Reality
Augmented Reality is expected to become a major facet of smartphones over the next few years. This means that there’s potential for apps and games built on this technology will be something you will come to rely on regularly. So, it’s worth investing in an iPhone that supports augmented reality.
Where to find the cheapest and the most expensive iPhone in 2022?
The price for an iPhone depends on the location as it is related to taxation. Although the US has a bit of a complicated taxation system, you will find the cheapest iPhone in the USA. Moreover, the USA is the home of the iPhone, so it is obvious that you will find the cheapest iPhone here. On the other hand, the iPhone is the most expensive in Brazil and India due to its high duty fees.

Comparison of iPhones Price in different countries
As we have mentioned earlier the price depends on the taxes and duties. So, it has been seen that the iPhone in the USA will save 39% more than buying in India. After the USA, Japan’s iPhone price is the least expensive. Hence, if you buy an iPhone in Japan you can save around 37%.
Let’s see the price comparison for the iPhone 13 series.

SpaceX’s Elon Musk: 1st orbital Starship flight maybe March
SpaceX’s Elon Musk said Thursday that the first orbital flight of his towering Starship — the world’s most powerful rocket ever built — could come in another month or two.
While he anticipates failures, he’s confident Starship will reach orbit by the end of this year.
Musk provided his first major Starship update in more than two years while standing alongside the 390-foot (119-meter) rocket at SpaceX’s Texas spaceport. He urged the nighttime crowd, “Let’s make this real!”
“This is really some wild stuff here,” he said. “In fact, hard to believe it’s real.”
NASA plans to use the fully reusable Starship to land astronauts on the moon as early as 2025. Musk, meanwhile, hopes to deploy a fleet of Starships to create a city on Mars, hauling equipment and people there.
For now, the initial flights would carry Musk’s internet satellites, called Starlinks, into orbit.
“There will probably be a few bumps in the road, but we want to iron those out with satellite missions and test missions” before putting people on board, he said.
SpaceX’s Super Heavy first-stage booster has yet to blast off. But the futuristic, bullet-shaped, steel Starship — perched on top and serving as the upper stage — successfully launched and landed on its own last May, following a series of spectacular explosions. The rocketship soared more than 6 miles (10 kilometers).
Read: Space telescope launched on daring quest to behold 1st stars
SpaceX is awaiting approval from the Federal Aviation Administration before proceeding with Starship’s next phase: going into orbit. Musk said he expects the go-ahead in March and that the rocket should be ready to fly by then as well. That would put the launch in the next couple of months, he added.
If the FAA demands more information about potential environmental impacts or lawsuits emerge, Musk said Starship launches could move to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida. But that would delay the first orbital launch by more than half a year, he noted.
The full-size Starships are massive — taller than NASA’s past and present moon rockets, with approximately double the liftoff thrust.
Besides Florida’s Cape Canaveral and the southern tip of Texas near Boca Chica, Starships could ultimately launch from floating ocean platforms anywhere in the world, Musk said. He envisions Starships launching three times a day — “rapid reusability” — with refilling stations in space for the longer destinations like Mars. The first refilling test could happen by the end of next year, he said.
Musk estimates a Starship launch could wind up costing less than $10 million — maybe even just a few million dollars with a high flight rate, which would bring down prices. He called it “crazy low” and “ridiculously good” by current space standards.
Starship already has one private customer: a Japanese entrepreneur who has bought a flight around the moon and plans to take a dozen artists with him. Musk hinted there are others interested in buying trips, saying future announcements would be forthcoming.
Until now, SpaceX has relied on its much smaller Falcon rockets to launch satellites, as well as astronauts and cargo to the International Space Station for NASA. Its first private flight, purchased by a billionaire, was last September. Another is coming up at the end of March, this one to the space station with three businessmen who are paying $55 million apiece.

How to Keep Your Old Phone Efficient like New?
Despite being made by standard brands or owning awesome features, mobile devices may lose their full functionality in the course of time. After a few years, they may seem to be a bit sluggish or behind the times. The older and more featureful the gadget is, the more severe this impact is likely to be. A few easy techniques can restore the efficiency to your old Android phone. And whether you continue to use the gadget as a daily driver or for more creative reasons, any improvement matters.
Ways to Keep Your Smartphone Running Like New
Upgrade Your Operating System
Ensure that your operating system is up to date. This will guarantee that you get the most recent security and bug updates, as well as any useful new features. If your phone refuses to accept the newest update due to out-of-date hardware, this is not the end of the world. However, if your phone has become outdated due to a few upgrades, maybe it is time to upgrade.
Read Top 10 Free Video Editing Apps for iOS, Android
Speaking of which, avoid discounting refurbished phones in favour of brand-new ones. You may get a more recent model at a reduced price. Certified pre-owned phones offered by the manufacturer are good values since they are repaired by the same people who manufactured them and often have substantial warranties.
Replace the Battery
How to make your old and slow smartphone fast again? After around two years, you will undoubtedly notice a decrease in performance from your phone's battery. There are things you can do to prolong the life of your battery, such as avoiding excessive phone charging. Exercising your battery is also believed to help it perform more effectively for a longer period of time. Exercising a battery entails allowing it to discharge to near zero and then charging it to full capacity.
If your battery is draining its charge and you are always fumbling for chargers, it may be time for a replacement. While some phones feature readily removable batteries, many newer models have batteries that are not intended to be changed by the user. Replacement services are available via tech support centres and directly from specific manufacturers. While there are several internet guides claiming that changing a smartphone battery is simple, if you are not a confident tinkerer, there is no harm in hiring a professional technician to conduct the repair for you.

Run a Factory Reset
If your dependable old phone remains slow after completing all of these procedures, there is one last option: wiping it clean and starting over from scratch. A factory reset removes any cobwebs and nearly usually speeds up a phone, at least temporarily.
Ascertain that all critical data and settings are fully backed up, and then seek the option to do a complete factory reset inside your system settings. Allow the phone to finish the procedure, then sign in and restore your settings. Consider doing steps 6 and 7 as well; they will be applicable even after the reset.
Uninstall Unnecessary Apps
Almost everyone has installed some applications that have outlived their value - maybe an airline app for which you travelled just once, a photography app that you never quite mastered, or a game that wasn't quite as amusing as you'd hoped. It's OK to change your decision about an app, but be careful to delete those that are no longer necessary.
Read Web 3.0: The Future of Internet
Unnecessary programs consume storage and, if they're sometimes doing tasks in the background, system resources, so regularly examine the apps on your smartphone and delete any that are no longer helpful to you. Disable pre-installed applications on your Android phone that cannot be removed to prevent them from using resources.
Reduce Usage of Animation
If your phone seems sluggish to switch between tasks, try disabling certain of the operating system's animations. On Android, you must first enable developer options through the Settings app and then minimize or disable certain animations. Consider switching to a static picture if you're currently utilizing a live wallpaper. On iOS, switch to a static picture as your background and disable parallax and app zooms by opening the Settings app in the Accessibility section.
Read How to Protect Mobile Phones from Getting Hacked?
Free Up Storage
If you've removed any unnecessary applications but are still short on storage, erase any downloaded files that are clogging up your phone's memory, or backup and delete the years' worth of images that have gathered on your phone. Sync them with your computer or use the app for your preferred cloud service to backup and then delete them from your phone.
Eliminate outdated message threads that take up valuable storage space. Additionally, on Android, periodically clear the app cache to remove data that applications keep to expedite their operations; on iOS, erase the history in apps such as Safari.
Stop Maximum Background Task
On both iOS and Android, you may take a few measures to ensure that the applications you choose to retain do not adversely affect your phone's performance. Consider lowering the frequency with which programs such as your preferred mail client or social networking applications such as Facebook connect to your account and load fresh updates on Android.
Read Dangerous Android Apps That Can Steal Your Information
Consider which applications on iOS have Background App Refresh enabled and consider lowering their number to reduce the number of resources required in the background. Additionally, while not in use, switch off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
Add in a Few Useful Features
Finally, don't allow a lack of affection from the maker of your phone to keep you down. Android features a plethora of imaginative applications that may enhance and simplify the usage of your phone's UI.
Consider my list of productivity-boosting Android applications and treat yourself to a much-needed update on your own terms — then sit back and revel in the bliss of your new-feeling old phone.

Bottom Line
In this article, we have discussed some practical ways to make your old phone feel new again. When your phone is operating slowly, clearing up unwanted applications or just restarting it might help. However, there are occasions when you've tried everything, and your smartphone is still not operating as expected.
In such a scenario, you may take a more drastic step and do a factory reset, which often resolves random app bugs and eliminates faults that defy detection. Simply keep in mind that before you reset your phone, you should back up all of your critical data and media.

Web 3.0: The Future of Internet
The Internet has been the single greatest invention of mankind which paved the way for the interconnected nature of the current society. Since its earliest days, the internet has made vast information accessible through a few clicks. Over the course of the last three decades, the internet has gone through a drastic change. And it is on the brink of another major shift through web 3.0. What is web 3.0? and how does it change the existing internet? Let’s find out.
What is Web 3.0?
There is no specific explanation of the concept of web 3.0 other than it aims to give control back to the people. The central aim of web 3.0 is to create the internet as a decentralized autonomous entity free from the control of a handful of companies. It plans to incorporate blockchain technology to make sure each individual interacting with the internet has a free choice beyond the existing algorithms.
To better understand what web 3.0 aims to achieve, it is important to understand the previous iterations of the internet. The current internet as it is known is actually web 2.0. Before web 2.0 was the web 1.0 or the primary. It spanned from 1991 to 2004.
Read Top 10 Free Video Editing Apps for iOS, Android
During this time, the internet was mostly static. All information, webpage, data, and everything available on the internet were just for viewing by the internet users. Granted this was a time when very few people used the internet, and even fewer, maybe a handful of people who actually created content.
That all changed with the launch of web 2.0. The second iteration of the web was meant to be more inclusive. It was given the nickname of the social internet because of the connectivity opportunities it brought. Platforms like Google, Facebook, YouTube provided a space for people to have dynamic interaction.
People were not simple observers anymore. Rather anyone could create content, share opinions for the world to see. As a result, the users of the internet saw a drastic rise over the years. Today over 59% of the population are connected to the internet and the number is still rising.

However, even the seemingly perfect version of the internet, web 2.0 has its limitations. And like all other things, limitations give rise to new inventions. In this case, a new future of the internet.
What Will Web 3.0 Change?
Now the current web 2.0 is not perfect in every way. While this web has paved the way for connectivity and socialization, it has failed to address two important aspects. The issue of privacy and data censoring.
Web 2.0 enables the users to create videos, posts, blogs on different streaming and social media sites. But this huge volume of content is strictly controlled by a handful of companies like Amazon, Google, Apple, Facebook, and Microsoft. Now the question may arise, how do they control the data if the internet is free?

Think about the typical internet usage of an average person. They might wake up in the morning and browse some Facebook. Watch a YouTube video with breakfast and check Gmail for emails. The evening might be spent watching Amazon Prime videos. What is a common thing between all these services?
All of these are owned by the companies mentioned above. A person needs to agree with all the terms and conditions to use the services. That in turn allows the companies to have free access to the data.
There is a common saying about tech services, “If it is free, then you’re the product”. The same principle applies here, all the free services come at the cost of unrelenting access to personal data.
Read Top 10 Greatest Science Breakthroughs of 2021
Social media and other content-creating platforms easily control anything that might go against their privacy policy. Agreeing to the terms and conditions simply provides them the tool to control free speech.
Web 3.0 plans to change all that. While web 2.0 made the internet a social place, web 3.0 will provide power to the users. The upcoming web 3.0 will stop having unrestricted control over what is seen and what is said. The power of privacy shall remain with the user and the user will determine their interaction with the internet, not some algorithm.
How Will Web 3.0 Work?
Web 3.0 will work based on a few key features. They are – decentralized web, semantic web, AI, and transparency.
Since the next generation of web will heavily rely on decentralization of the existing web, it will require massive automation to kickstart the change. The existing automation related to security is in blockchain and cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrency has led the charge in decentralized finance or DeFi. So, it is expected that blockchain and cryptocurrency will play a huge role in automation and data security in the new age of the internet.

Then comes the semantics and AI. The use of smart gadgets in everyday life is already apparent. There are smart home controls, car controls, and lots more. The Internet of Things or IoT will lead the charge in the new web. For a seamless interaction between gadgets, the internet, and humans, there is no alternative to AI.
Combining all these together, the new age of the web will give control back to the people. It will essentially be like a fresh start. The big techs will have to figure out how to serve the users without making them the direct product of their service.
Users will have full control over their data thanks to the decentralized nature of blockchain. Beyond the obvious choice of preference and data security aside, people will be truly free to choose how and what content they want to interact with within the internet.

Final Words
