Here we will show very shortly how to capture a screenshot on Windows PC. If you face any issues to understand these below procedures, please read the full article till the end to know about more settings and options to capture the screenshots on windows PC.

1.       Find the PrtSc Key on your physical or onscreen keyboard. This PrtSc or sometimes marked as PrtScn Key's location on the PC might defer depending on the brand of PC you are using. Click PrtSc >> Open Paint App >> Press Ctrl + V >> Save/Save As

2.       If option 1 does not work, then Press Windows Button (W) + PrtSc together then follow same instructions as described in option 1

3.       Search Snipping Tool >> Open Snipping Tool >> Click on ‘New’ (Top Left of Snipping Tool) >> Select Screen to capture screenshot>> Save As (File option) or Copy (Edit Option)

 

Method 1: Windows Button (W) + PrtSc

PrtSc is the inbuilt key on most of the keyboards nowadays. This key resides on the keypad either as an individual key or as coupled with other keys in the first line (or near the Number keys). Wherever it be, we can use this key to take a screenshot of our PC. Now, it is to be noted that, though all these below methods are correct, some of them might be OS-specific only. So, if one of the methods does not work for your PC, try the other methods.

1.       Hold Windows Button (W) + PrtSc together. If this does nothing, then Press only PrtSc button.

2.  The screen will be dimmed and the screenshots will be saved in “C:\Users\...\Pictures\Screenshots” folder. Or else a few options will be popped up on the top of the screen of the PC.

3.       Using those options, you can take the screenshot in rectangular format or in the freeform clip as you want or the full-screen screenshot of your PC.

4.       Select any option and drag over your PC screenshot (the part you want to take a screenshot of), and the screenshot will be automatically saved in “C:\Users\...\Pictures\Screenshots” folder.

5.       Now you can go to that Screenshots folder and edit the screenshot according to your need

 

 Method 2: PrtSc + MsPaint

This procedure involves two different inbuilt applications, i.e., PrtSc and MSPaint. The former one will capture the screenshot, and the latter one will help you edit and/or save the screenshots in any location on your PC with ‘Save’ or ‘Save As’ option.

1.       Press the PrtSc button on the Keyboard. This will copy the screenshot in the clipboard.

2.       Open MS Paint (or shortly Paint).

3.       And then press Ctrl+V to paste the screenshot in the MsPaint App.

4.       In MsPaint you can edit the Screenshot as required and then go to File >> ‘Save’ or ‘Save As’ option to save the screenshot in any folder in any format you want to.

Method 3: Snipping Tool

If nothing works; this will surely be working to any version of the OS available in your PC.

1.       Go to start or press Windows Button (W) and search for Snipping Tool. Once the result is seen in the search results, click on the Application.

2.      The application will be opened as below photo. This software comes with few options on the top bar. To take Screenshot we do not have to worry about all the options but the first one.

3.       Click on the first option ‘New (Scissors Symbol)’ and your screen will be dimmed. You can drag your mouse over your desktop screen to select the area you want to take the screenshot for.

4.       Once the area is selected Snipping Tool will give few options. Out of that Click on File >> Save As (or Press Ctrl+S) to save the file in your preferred location with preferred Format.

5.       Before saving the photo from Snipping Tool the screenshot can be edited too if needed.

6.       The screenshot can be copied from the ‘Edit’ option of Snipping tool to paste it in some other Tools or software like MS Office Word or Paint to further use.

Setting related issues to take screenshots on windows 10:

Generally, PrtSc key is by default enabled in each PC to take the screenshots of the PC. But unfortunately, If PrtSc or (W + PrtSc) does not work on your PC, you might want to take a look in your PC settings.

1.       Click Windows Button (W) or go to search (near Windows Symbol W) and directly type ‘Ease of Access keyboard Settings’.

2.       Select the Option in the search Result ‘Ease of Access keyboard Settings’.

3.       Look for the option ‘Print Screen shortcut’ and toggle the Option if it is not done already.

All About Micromax IN 1B | 2021

A few weeks back, in the wake of the recent conflict with China, Micromax founder Rahul Sharma in a video message, appealed to the citizens of India that it is high time that we must shift away from Chinese goods and promote Indian goods. He announced the arrival of a new series of smartphones from Micromax, named IN series. These handsets will be available on Flipkart and Micromax websites.

Micromax has launched two models in the IN series: in 1b and in note 1. In this post, we will take a look at the features of IN 1b model.

Micromax in 1b

IN 1b is available in two variants: E6523(2GB RAM, 32GB ROM) which costs Rs. 6999 and E7533(4GB RAM, 64GB ROM) which costs Rs.7999

 

RAM and Internal memory storage is the only difference between these two variants. Let's see other features of this model that are common for both variants.

 

Processor: IN 1B comes with a 2.3GHz octa-core MediaTek helio G35 processor based on 12nm technology. The helio G35 processor is somewhere in between Snapdragon 625 and Snapdragon 665 in terms of performance. 

Given the price of these phones, this is a pretty good deal.

RAM: IN 1b comes in two variants. E6523 offers 2GB RAM, which is quite low as per today's standards. However, the E7533 variant offers 4GB RAM, which is impressive at this price.

Storage Memory: Again, there are two different storage offered by the two variants. E6523 provides 32GB ROM for storage, whereas E7533 comes with 64GB ROM as internal memory. Again E7533 variant is above par compared to other phones in this price segment.

The variants offer expandable storage up to 128GB and have provided a dedicated memory slot for microSD cards.

Camera: Both variants provide 13MP + 2MP Dual Rear Camera with LED flash, which is a bit disappointing as most of the manufacturers are offering triple camera at this price segment. 

The secondary camera offers an 8MP shooter, which is at par in this price segment.

 

Connectivity: These phones have dual 4G VoLTE standby networks i.e., both SIMs can use 4G network at the same time. It also offers 3g, Edge, and GPRS connectivity. Other connectivity features are listed below:

Bluetooth: Yes, v5.0

WiFi: Yes

WiFi Hotspot: Yes

USB Tethering: Yes

Infrared: No

USB connectivity: Yes

Audio Jack: 3.5mm

GPS Support: Yes

 

Since infrared is not there, the device cannot be used as a remote controller, unlike in some other handsets.

The display features: Both variants are offering 6.52 inches capacitive touch screen with a 1600x720 pixel HD+IPS display. It offers a pixel density of 269 PPI. A notch is there on the top to accommodate the selfie camera.

 Apart from the above features following are some of the important specifications to look for before buying the phone:

Battery capacity: These handsets offer a 5000mah non-removable battery that is pretty high in terms of capacity, but the processor is of 12nm technology, so battery backup might be average.

Sensors: Fingerprint, Accelerometer, Gyro, Proximity Sensor, Ambient Light Sensor

The fingerprint sensor is mounted on the backside of the phone. 

Overall, the E7533(4GB, 64GB) variant seems to be quite an impressive deal at Rs.7999. It is offering good performance for day-to-day use as well as for moderate gaming with decent battery backup.

That's all for today. In the next post, we shall see the features of IN Note 1 handset. See you in the next post.

Dial *#*#4636#*#* and Check What Will happen

Everyone is aware of the settings that are provided in the menu of the OS. However, another group of settings is available for android users, which provides several details about your mobile network and allows you certain manipulations like switching your preferred network type and setting an SMSC number.

To access these settings and details, dial *#*#4636#*#* on your phone. A menu similar to the one shown below will be popped up.

 

Click on "Phone information1" or any equivalent option available on your device.

A screen showing details of your network on SIM slot 1 will be displayed. Here you can see the IMEI number, current carrier, strength of the signal, voice network type (GSM/LTE), data network type, etc.

 

The "Set preferred network type" drop-down menu offers the option to change your network to desired types like LTE, GSM, UMTS, etc., as shown below.

You can also run a ping test to check network connectivity.

Overall it provides quite detailed information that cannot be accessed from the default settings option available in the menu of OS.

Intelligent Bionic Eye is Ready for Human Trial | Melbourne, Australia

Science and technology never fail to amaze us with their new inventions and discovery. 

After researching for more than a decade, a group of researchers and scientists are reportedly happy to announce that they made an artificial bionic eye that can help blind people see the world.

Bionic organs for the human body are not new things. Bionic limbs like hands or legs are readily available in the market in commercial form. But the bionic eye that can eliminate blindness for some groups of blind people is really the coolest and the smartest.

Melbourne, Australia-based Monash University has built an intelligent system that will bypass the damaged optic nerves in the retina(that causes permanent blindness) and transmit the signal directly to the 'view' center of the brain.

This smart bionic eye, aka 'Gennari's bionic vision system,' has two main components, Headgear and Chip.

Headgear will be in front of the eye with the help of some kind of spectacles, and a tiny 9mm Bionic Chip will be implanted in the brain. Though it sounds scary, the good thing is this bionic eye has already been tested on ships, and scientists have found some positive results with negligible side effects. The next trial has been planned on humans now in Melbourne itself.

"Our design creates a visual pattern from combinations of up to 172 spots of light (phosphenes) which provides information for the individual to navigate indoor and outdoor environments, and recognize the presence of people and objects around them.....If successful, the MVG [Monash Vision Group] team will look to create a new commercial enterprise focused on providing a vision to people with untreatable blindness and movement to the arms of people paralyzed by quadriplegia, transforming their health care", Arthur Lowery, professor at Monash University's Department of Electrical and Computer Systems Engineering stated. 

Now, hopefully, if this smart bionic eye works as it reported, it would be a great help and gift to humanity. Though its cost might be prohibitive initially, the same will be drastically reduced over time as technology progresses. Govt can also subsidize and mass produce it to minimize the cost further.
