Four foods that become toxic when stored in the refrigerator

Although the refrigerator keeps food fresh, some foods should not be stored in the refrigerator because they can become toxic. Doctor Dimple Yangda, who is a specialist in gut health, stated on Instagram that these foods are garlic, onion, ginger and rice and revealed the reasons why this is so. Garlic Garlic can become soft if stored in the refrigerator. "Never store garlic in the refrigerator because it starts to mold very quickly, and mold on garlic is actually linked to cancer," Yangda said, advising to store garlic in a dry, dark place. "Garlic has a low acidity, which makes it prone to the deposition of the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which is one of the culprits of botulism," she warned. Onion Onion is a crop that is resistant to low temperatures. The expert explains: "When you put onions in the fridge, the starch starts to turn into sugar and mold starts to form." Many people make this mistake. Cut the head of the onion, use half...

Police warns: Disable this option on your children's iPhone models

Apple once a year introduces new versions of its operating system for mobile devices, which usually bring big news and changes for iPhone and iPad owners, while throughout the year the company releases smaller updates that bring mainly security patches. 

Disable this option on iPhone. AirDrop.

The latest version of Apple's mobile operating system for phones and tablets, as well as the latest operating system for smart watches from this company, brought a small but interesting option that could be quite useful for someone. 

However, on the other hand, that option hides certain dangers, especially for children. At least that is what they claim from a police station in the US state of Ohio, from which they warned all users of Apple devices, and this especially applies to the youngest, that is, their parents, that they should be very careful with its use. 

This is the NameDrop option, recently available on iPhone and Apple Watch, which allows users to easily share contact information with other users simply by bringing the devices closer to each other. With Proximity, devices connect to each other and users then have the choice of sharing or receiving contact information, noting that only new contact information can be exchanged in this way, and information cannot be updated for existing contacts. 

The police station warned parents that they should turn off the option on their children's phones to increase their safety, as it is automatically activated after upgrading to a new version of the operating system. The problem is that with this option, kids can share quickly and easily their contact information, which includes a phone number, email address, and picture. In this way, strangers can reach quickly and easily the children's contacts. 

While there is an option to opt out of being asked to send or receive contact information (Apple says this is the option that should prevent contact information from being shared with strangers), police warn that not everyone is aware of how phones work, so it's best to deactivate that option.

You can disable the option by clicking Settings/General on your iPhone and turning off the "Bringing devices together" option in the AirDrop section. In case you want to exchange contacts with someone this way, you can simply activate it again and bring your phone closer to another iPhone or Apple Watch.

Artificial intelligence: Google's new model 'will outperform humans in solving intelligence tests'

Google has launched a new artificial intelligence (AI) model that it claims will "answer questions more carefully" because its "functionalities are more advanced". AI content generators sometimes invent things that developers call hallucinations.  The new Gemini model has been tested to solve problems in 57 areas, including mathematics and the humanities. "This is the new era of artificial intelligence," said Sundar Pichai, head of Google.  Earlier this year, Google launched its own version of the chatbot – Bard – calling it an "experiment".  During the presentation, the program made an error when answering the space question.  Google claims that the new model is "the most capable" and will outperform humans in solving intelligence tests.  Gemini can recognize image, text and sound, but it is not a product in itself.  It is a program that will be integrated into existing Google tools, including search, but also into the Bard...

Trojan apps that take photos of users without permission, if you have them, delete them

  ESET antivirus experts have released a new list of Android messaging apps that track users and steal their information. These are apps from the Google Play Store and almost all of them look like regular messaging apps. However, behind the scenes they run a remote device access Trojan known as "VajraSpy" and are part of the "Patchwork APT" campaign, with the primary goal of spying on downloaders. These apps can steal your contacts, files, call history and messages, and some can even access your WhatsApp or Signal conversations, record phone calls or see what notifications you receive, the website PhoneArena" published post.

They are primarily used in Pakistan and India, but it is possible to find them in other areas as well. If you accidentally came across them, skip them, and if you downloaded them, delete them. These are the Google Play Store apps ...

Advantages and disadvantages of solar power energy

The technology that is utilized to collect and convert solar energy is known as solar energy. In 2011, less than 0.1 percent of the world's energy consumption was met by the technology. Many people are familiar with 'photovoltaic cells,' often known as solar panels, which are used in items like spacecraft, roofs, and handheld calculators. Semiconductor materials, similar to those used in computer chips, are used to make the cells. Electrons are dislodged from their atoms when sunlight strikes the cells. The cell produces electricity when the electrons move through it. Solar-thermal power plants use a variety of methods to concentrate the sun's energy as a heat source on a much bigger scale. The heat is then utilized to boil water, which powers a steam turbine to produce electricity in a manner similar to that of coal and nuclear power plants and serve thousands of people with electricity. In one method, sunlight is focused on an oil pipe that passes through the center o...
