Pakistan Bans Wikipedia!!
Wikipedia has been blocked in Pakistan over “sacrilegious” content on the site. According to research from the OpenNet Initiative, the country blocks sites that have content it considers to be “blasphemous, anti-Islamic, or threatening to internal security.”
Wikipedia is in talks with Pakistan officials, regarding the same and It will be unbanned after Wikipedia will remove "unlawful" content.
So from now, Pakistan users, especially school/college students would have to use VPNs to access Wikipedia in their country.
Wikipedia, The FREE Encyclopedia, has become a paid Encyclopedia
It's no new thing for Pakistan to ban major sites, as they earlier banned YouTube for 3 years !!.
They also banned TikTok too (2020 - 2021)

Elon Musk says that Twitter will start sharing ad revenue with creators
Elon Musk announced Friday that the company would soon begin sharing advertising revenue with creators on the platform for the first time.
The catch? Eligible users must be signed up for Twitter Blue, which starts at $8 a month.
Which means you need to first pay Twitter 8$ every month to get your ad revenue
Twitter is also planning to begin serving ads in replies, a change that could clog the platform with sponsored content and invite even more reply spam.

Microsoft is integrating OpenAI’s chatbot ChatGPT into its search engine Bing and it started to appear to some users.
Bing can now could not only answer questions but ask them in a conversational manner like ChatGPT.
The new Bing can also apparently cite its sources which ChatGPT lacked making it less reliable.
Google is also going to showcase their demo of chatbot at Google I/O in May of 2023.

Samsung launched the Galaxy S23 series without seamless updates, breaking Google's rules
Source
While the S23 series use dynamic partitions (ie. they have a "super" partition), they don't implement the virtual A/B partition scheme.
The idea behind seamless support is to minimize your downtime when updating your phone. Instead of having to sit through a lengthy reboot and install process, a phone with seamless updates can install its software to a second partition while you use the main one.
All devices that launch with Android 13 using chipsets that support Virtual A/B are MUST have it to pass Google's VTS test for it to be released.
Google previously said that non-A/B OTA update mechanism will be deprecated starting in Android 13 and it's support will be removed from release tools and recovery in AOSP.
Samsung might have skipped out on this feature as it takes up extra storage and the S23 series were given as exception as you can ask for skip on certain tests or requirements depending how big the OEM is and with Samsung, Google cannot say no to them.

Scamsung Moment
Weirdly, the system space on Samsung Flagship is really very large going up to 150GB but it should not be more than 15GB even
On the latest Galaxy S23 Ultra which launched just 4 days ago, the system app space is massive 75GB
And on S22 Ultra, the system app space is huge 200GB in the 1TB variant
So like 20% is occupied by the system apps only.
From what i have seen, The Winner is Galaxy Z Fold 4 which consumes huge 155GB system apps space out of 256GB storage consuming 60% space by system apps leaving 95GB for users.
Please check in your Samsung smartphone too especially Flagships and tell how much space is consumed by system apps and tell in the comments for fun
Share it with your friends or other Samsung groups too and try asking if they have same problem or not
If you have any idea why is this happening, please tell us in the comments

Certified Microsoft moment
Source
Microsoft has shipped Windows 10 22H2 and Windows 11 22H2 with an undocumented bug where users could be forced to enter their credit card details for Microsoft 365 trial.
When you’re on the setup screen or “first booted the windows", you’ll have two options for Microsoft 365 offer – “Try for free” and “No, thanks”.
The “No, thanks” button should ideally skip the Microsoft 365 registration and proceed to the next screen, but there’s a bug where the “No, thanks” button opens the registration window.
Microsoft confirmed that they accidentally switched over the strings for “No, thanks” with “Try for free”.
In other words, the try it button is actually “No, thanks”, and “No, thanks” is a sign-up button.
The solution is to Click on " Try for Free" or disconnect from the internet when setting up Windows 10/11.

Twitter's API is now partially FREE
Elon Musk previously said that the free API is “being abused” by bot scammers and spammers, adding that an around $100 per month subnoscription “with ID verification” can “clean things up greatly.”
Twitter also made their API paid with prices starting from $149 and going upto $2,499 a month.
But now, Elon Musk now says Twitter will let bots providing “good content” access the Twitter API for free and the platform will enable a “light, write-only” API for eligible bots
Also, Twitter wants to cash in on businesses on the platform by charging them $1,000 per month to keep their gold checkmarks and brands who don’t pay the $1,000 per month fee will lose their gold badges, although it’s unclear when that will happen.
In other words, for users Blue check mark is 8$ per month while for big organizations and businessmen, the Gold check mark is 1000$ /month and $50 per affiliate
