Here are Meta’s Protective Measures to Enhance User Privacy while Interacting with its Generative AI Services

Privacy Concerns have always remained part of the Generative AI services since its short lifetime. These concerns came into the limelight when OpenAI introduced ChatGPT and Google introduced its Bard. The learning methods and data for these tools have always remained a concern for the users and lawmakers. However, Meta has detailed its protective measures to protect User Privacy and how it collects data for the Generative AI tools that it launched recently along with 28 AI personas chatbots.

There are some privacy checks that Meta has established to safeguard user privacy in the new Generative AI tools. Following the previous check from the development language models like Llama 2 and others, Meta has further strengthened the “privacy safeguards and integrity mitigations” while building new tools and services based on AI.

From Where Meta Generative AI Tools Fetch Data?

To better train Generative AI tools, different sets of enormous data sets are required for better information and reliability of such tools. However, feeding such large systems with by eliminating privacy concerns has always remained a task. But the Beta has achieved it by using only public data from Meta services and products. It has excluded some websites where the user shares their personal information. For Eg: On Facebook, the company has processed only the data that is labeled as public, while it has not even touched the content under the private tag.

Even the data on messages are not touched while training their AI generative Tools. However, if the user asks anything from Meta AI by adding @Meta AI in their message, then only that message is processed by these tools. Otherwise, all the messages remain private. In addition, the company uses data from AI Stickers in your chat to improve these stickers.

Even, the businesses interacting with Generative AI tools such as Meta AI are part of the data sharing pacts. The company fetches the data as presided over by their new Privacy Guide.

Why does Sometimes AI Retain Information?

While using the Generative AI tools, these may retain some of your personal information to personalize the responses. It may be helpful for the users as it may help in generating more precise answers to your queries. However, there are always safeguards to protect your private information appearing in other’s responses. While talking about such issues, Meta details that “We use automated technology and people to review interactions with our AI so we can, among other things, reduce the likelihood that models’ outputs would include someone’s personal information as well as improve model performance.”

Built-in commands to Delete Private Data in Meta AI

To further equip users with better tools to delete their private information, Meta introduced some built-in commands to delete the information.

  • /reset-ai – Deletes AI messages.

Further, the generative AI tools keep the account information on different Meta platforms – Facebook, Instagram, and other Apps separate.

Meta aims to protect user privacy and even has dedicated work members to abide by these privacy policies. Further, the Meta has signed the White House’s voluntary commitments for AI and is a participant in AI’s Synthetic Media Framework.

Meta launches new Ray-Ban Smart Glasses with live streaming, 12MP camera, and longer battery life

Meta and Ray-Ban partnered to launch their first smart glasses in 2021, called Stories. The name was a bit strange, but both companies seem to have moved on. Meta has now announced its second-generation smart glasses, called the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses. Meta says they designed the glasses from the “ground up”, improving all the core features of the first generation and adding new capabilities never seen before on smart glasses. Let’s walk through the features. 

Ray-Ban Meta “Smart Glasses” Specifications

The most notable new feature of the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses is the ability to livestream video directly to Instagram and Facebook. This is a first for smart glasses, and I can see it being useful for content creators and social media users alike. 

The smart glasses feature a 12MP ultra-wide camera for this purpose, which is capable of recording 1080p videos up to 60 seconds. The glasses will also let passersby know that they are being recorded with a white courtesy light on the outside.

They can store about 500 photos and 100 30-second videos before you fill up the 32GB of internal storage. Everything you record or shoot syncs through the Meta View app, which lets you share your captured moments with other apps.

The glasses are powered by a Snapdragon AR1 Gen 1 processor and are IPX4 water-resistant, meaning they can handle light water splashes.

Meta has also improved the audio on the Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses. The new smart glasses are 50% louder than the first generation, and they offer better clarity and deeper bass. Meta has also added directional audio to the new smart glasses, which reduces audio leakage and provides a more immersive listening experience.

The Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses come in a classic Wayfarer design, and they’re available in new colors as well as a transparent option. As with Ray-Ban Stories, you can choose from a variety of lens options as well, such as sun, polarized, clear, transitions, and prescription. There are more than 150 variations in total.

The case, which doubles as a charger, has also been downsized and made lighter. It’s 32% lighter and can charge the headset up to eight times for a total of 36 hours of battery life. After that, the case needs to be recharged via USB-C.

Price and Availability

The Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses are available for pre-order now at Meta.com, Ray-Ban.com, and select retailers. They will go on sale on October 17 in a number of countries including US Canada, Australia, and throughout Europe.

Oppo Find N3 Flip Live Image leak shows cover display with global apps like WhatsApp & Zomato

The Oppo Find N3 Flip was recently unveiled in the Chinese market. But while the device was launched in the brand’s home market, the global release was still unclear. But a leak has hinted that the overseas launch might be just around the corner.

Oppo Find N3 Flip Global Model Leaked

Oppo Find N3 Flip Global Launch

The fresh leak arrived from sources close to the matter, who shared the information with 91Mobiles. In the latest report, the new foldable smartphone was spotted in a live image. But the device isn’t the main focus of this leak, rather, the contents on the cover display are the primary focus. A silver Find N3 Flip model (which isn’t available in China) can be seen with global apps on the secondary screen. The smaller external panel can be seen with WhatsApp, X (formerly Twitter), YouTube Music, GPay, and much more.

This hints that the Find N3 Flip will be arriving in the global market soon, which includes the Indian market. Apart from the image, the 91Mobiles report also shares a complete list of apps that are compatible with the cover display of the smartphone. Looking at the list, we can see that the foldable phone will support Netflix, LinkedIn, YouTube Music, as well as popular Indian apps like Zomato, Swiggy, Zerodha, Wynk Music, JioSaavn, BookMyShow, and mAadhar. In other words, the Oppo Find N3 Flip may launch in India soon.

Talking about the device itself, the Oppo Find N3 Flip sports a tall 6.8-inch AMOLED display that has a Full HD+ resolution and 120Hz refresh rate.

Smaller Size, Flatter Design, and More Camera: Xiaomi 14 Pro Case Leak Reveals New Design Details [Update: Video]

Xiaomi continues to expand its product line. Almost every week, the company introduces several new models, offering a broad product range that caters to nearly every user. However, no matter what the Chinese tech giant unveils lately, the tech enthusiasts are primarily focused on one model: the upcoming Xiaomi 14 Pro.

Although there have been numerous leaks about the phone expected to be released by the end of the year, there wasn’t much definitive information. Thankfully, this changed when the Xiaomi 14 and 14 Pro case reached the hands of the Gizmochina team. Here’s everything known about the design of the upcoming flagship…

Xiaomi 14 Pro Case Leak Reveals New Design Details

As you may know, the leaking of smartphone cases before their release has become a tradition. The main reason for this is that dummy models of the devices are sent to manufacturers long before they are introduced. This way, by the time of release, users worldwide can purchase their desired cases to protect their phones. Most recently, the case for the Xiaomi 14 and 14 Pro was obtained by the Gizmochina team.

When we first look at the case, we notice that the design language of the Xiaomi 14 series seems very similar to the 13 series. As always, there will be a full screen on the front. The back design, which has seen changes in recent years, will have a camera module in the top left corner. Additionally, we see four camera holes in the case. Last year’s model only had three cameras. This year, the number could increase to four, or that space might be left empty for the Leica logo again.

Moreover, that’s not the only change on the camera side. The island that houses the modules takes up a larger area and is likely to be a bit thicker. Based on this, we can say that we can expect significant changes in camera performance. Aside from that, the size of the Xiaomi 14 Pro seems to be a bit smaller than the 13 Pro. Also, judging by the case, we can say that the series is likely to have a flat and sharper design.

Unfortunately, not everything about the Xiaomi 14 series is positive, and the two models differ significantly in one aspect. Based on the cases, we can say that the Xiaomi 14 Pro has dual speakers on the frame, while the 14 standard might use the calling speaker in conjunction with a bottom speaker to achieve stereo sound. Of course, this is better than having a true single speaker. However, it’s possible to say that this is a downgrade compared to the dual speakers in previous models. Sadly, that’s all we know for now, and we have no choice but to wait for more information.

The expected specs for the Xiaomi 14 series:

iPhone 15, 15 Plus Survive Durability Test Unlike The Stronger Pro Max With Titanium Build

It turns out Apple’s strongest and the most expensive iPhone 15 Pro Max isn’t really the strongest as it surprisingly failed a durability test. It brought back memories of the iPhone 6 Plus’s #BendGate scandal. The phone is made up of titanium which is touted to be stronger than stainless steel. Now, the verdict of the non-pro iPhone 15 and 15 Plus is out, thanks to popular YouTuber JerryRigEverything who also tested the Pro Max. For those unaware, this year’s non-pro models offer significant upgrades compared to their predecessors making them worth the upgrade over previous generation iPhones too. 

iPhone 15, 15 Plus survive durability test

As usual, the durability test starts with the scratch test on the iPhone 15. Apple equips the phone with a Ceramic Shield that is a little more scratch-resistant than Gorilla Glass on Android devices. If you take a closer look, the scratch marks don’t appear more pronounced as in other phones, but the iPhone 15 still scratches at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7 on the Mohs hardness scale. 

The iPhone 15 features an anodized aluminium frame and it scratches easily in the scrape test. The YouTuber adds that the colors on the non-pro model look washed out and ‘like a 4 year old ran out of food colouring’. In the fire test, the smartphone withstands flames for nearly 10 seconds until a white spot shows up on the screen. 

In the ultimate durability test, the iPhone 15 holds its ground when it is bent from both the sides with ample amount of pressure. The iPhone 15 Plus also survives the bend test. This begs the question of whether stainless steel is stronger than titanium on the iPhone 15 Pro Max as Apple advertises or could it be a manufacturing defect on the Pro Max since the Pro variant also survived it?

Apple is yet to acknowledge the iPhone 15 Pro Max’s two notable issues – overheating and a weaker titanium build. Only time will tell.

Meta launches new mixed-reality headset ‘Quest 3’ starting at $499.99

Announced back in June, Meta has finally launched its new headset, the Quest 3, the successor to the Quest 2. But unlike its predecessor, the Quest 3 is a mixed-reality headset like the Apple Vision Pro. Mixed reality (MR) is a new technology that combines virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). Meta calls the Quest 3 the “world’s first mass-market mixed reality headset,” and the company has made a number of improvements to make it worthy of that title. Let’s take a closer look.

Meta Quest 3 Specifications

To begin with, the Quest 3 has two new full-color cameras on the front of the headset that deliver vastly improved passthrough video. This means you can now see your real-world surroundings much more clearly, which is excellent for mixed-reality experiences and finding your way around your playspace. 

meta quest 3 mixed reality headset Release date features price

However, the Quest 3 does not yet fully support augmented reality. Instead, you can double-tap the side of the headset to switch between a fully immersive VR mode or a mixed reality experience, which Meta calls a blended environment.

Meta has also focused on improving the lenses in the Quest 3, which now use pancake optics for sharper, higher-resolution images. This also makes for a slimmer optic profile compared to the Quest 2, which we suppose, will make the headset more comfortable to wear for long periods of time.

Likewise, the Quest 3 has a new 4K+ Infinite Display (two displays with 2064 × 2208 resolution per eye), which Meta says offers a 30% improvement in visual resolution over the Quest 2. It is also powered by the new Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chipset and packs 8GB of RAM. Meta says the SoC offers doubles the graphics performance over the Quest 2.

In addition to these major improvements, the Quest 3 also has a number of other smaller changes, such as a 40 percent louder audio range than the Quest 2, a more balanced weight distribution, and a new Lens Distance Adjustment Wheel for more precise IPD (interpupillary distance) fine-tuning.

The Quest 3 is also getting new Touch Plus controllers. The new controllers do away with the large tracking ring in favor of infrared sensors that track your position. They also have improved haptics, so you should be able to get more visceral vibrations as you play games. 

Meta Quest 3 Price and Availability

The Meta Quest 3 starts at $499.99 for the 128GB version and $649.99 for the 512GB version. Both are available for pre-order now on the official Meta Quest website, and shipping is expected to start on October 10.

Google brings Earthquake Alert System Support for Android in India

It’s been more than a couple of years since Google introduced the Android Earthquake Alerts System globally. It is available for several countries around the globe, and India is the latest to join the Earthquake Alerts System. On several occasions, the system has remained useful and enabled the users to reach safe spots before the earthquake actually hit the remaining parts.

Must See: Google Tensor G4 specs leak: Hardware-based ray tracing GPU onboard

The Search giant has partnered with the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) and the National Seismology Center (NSC) for the system to work in the country where high tectonic activity is observed across some parts every year. It is a significant move that will surely help Android users to get prepared before the major jolts hit the Indian Peninsula or the areas adjacent to the Himalayas.

Talking about the feature, Google said in a blogspot “We’ve developed the Android Earthquake Alerts System, which uses sensors in Android smartphones to detect and estimate earthquakes. This is already deployed in many countries to provide people with an early warning when earthquake shaking begins.”

Different Modes

There will be two different alerts depending on the severity of the Earthquake. The quakes which will have seismic activity of 3-4, then will be categorized into “Be Aware” alerts. It will simply show an alert on your display but won’t ring if Do Not Disturb Mode or Silent is activated. The Quakes have more than 4.5 magnitude will bypass the device’s system settings including Do Not Disturb, and will play loud noise. Some safety measures will also be part of the alert.

How to Enable Earthquake Alert System

The feature will be available to all Android users running Android 5+ on their respective devices in the coming few weeks. In order to benefit from the feature, the user must have an active internet connection and location must be active on the device. The users should also activate the Android Earthquake Alerts toggle to get the notification. To do so the users can head over to Settings > Safety & emergency  Earthquake alerts. Or, they can visit  Settings > Location > Advanced > Earthquake alerts to get the same set of settings.

The alerts may reach the device many seconds earlier than the actual shaking.

Lenovo Tab M11 leak reveals its design renders and complete specifications

Lenovo seems ready to launch a new tablet in the global market. Earlier this year, the company unveiled the Tab M10 5G in India and other regions with a 10.61-inch LCD and a Snapdragon 695 SoC under the hood. Now, the company could soon unveil the Tab M11 as a new report has shared its complete specifications along with high-res renders. Here are the details.

Lenovo Tab M11 is a boring upgrade?

Windows Report has revealed most details about the upcoming Lenovo Tab M11, noting that “it’s not a major improvement over its predecessor, at all.” The said predecessor in this case is the Tab M10 launched 3 years back and not the 5G version we mentioned above. In any case, the tablet brings a new design with a single camera sensor on a large rectangular module. You get Dolby Atmos branding on the back as well as the Lenovo logo.

As per the report, the device only weighs around 466 g and it has a height of 166 mm. Lenovo Tab M11 is said to carry an 11-inch LCD screen, offering a resolution of 1920×1200. Its battery is supposed to last up to 10 hours playing videos and it charges through a 5V/2A Charging Adapter. The tablet will apparently be offered in two colors—Luna Grey and Seafoam Green.

On the software front, the slate will run Android 13 and will get two major OS upgrades (till Android 15). Lenovo is also reported to offer 5 years of security updates to the tablet, until January 2028. Under the hood, it could be powered by the MediaTek G88 Octa-Core processor with 4/8/12 GB of RAM and 128GB of storage (expandable up to 1TB with a MicroSD card). Lenovo will also release accessories like a Pen and a Folio case for the tablet but you’ll likely have to purchase them separately.

Judging by the specs, the Tab M11 is likely a budget tablet like its predecessors. For comparison, the 2020 Tab M10 costs around $180 and the Tab M10 5G carries a price tag of around $419 in Europe.
