Passengers defying COVID guidelines being put under 'No-Fly List': Hardeep Puri
American multinational corporation Qualcomm, which was earlier said to be working on a brand of gaming smartphones, will now reportedly be developing a handheld console of its own that will be powered specifically by the upcoming Android 12.
As per a report by Android Police, this portable gaming console will strongly resemble the Nintendo Switch, but it will run on Android and house a Snapdragon chipset.
The source claimed that it had viewed non-final images of the device but decided not to share them.
In short, Qualcomm's portable gaming console will supposedly resemble a thicker smartphone, with detachable controllers on the left and right sides.
The source familiar with Qualcomm's plans further stated that the San Diego chip company is planning to use a 6000mAh battery that will support its Quick Charge technology.
Though the exact dimensions are not available yet, if the aforementioned information is anything to go by, it could be a modified smartphone with a taller display.
Luckily, it will provide the same options as a premium handset, such as a dedicated display output and an SD card reader for future storage expansion.
This device will also be running Android 12 with a customised launcher, and yes, users will be able to download Google Play-supported apps and services.
Since Qualcomm aims to launch the portable gaming console as early as Q1, 2022, it should be expected a Snapdragon 888 successor to be a part of the innards.
It is also believed that this silicon can run at higher clock speeds since this device's thickness will allow Qualcomm to use a beefier cooler.

Winter Storm Brings , California Reservoir , to Full Capacity.
'Newsweek' reports that California's
Cachuma Lake reached full capacity following
a winter storm over the past weekend.
In the summer of 2022, several California
reservoirs reached alarmingly low water
levels amid a long-running drought.
At the time, water levels at
Cachuma Lake fell to 692 feet. .
On March 3 of this year, water levels
at Cachuma Lake reached 753.1 feet,
just above its capacity of 753 feet.
While other reservoirs in California are higher
than their historical averages, none besides Cachuma Lake have reached capacity this year, according to
the California Department of Water Resources.
Cachuma Lake has reached
136% of its historical average.
As a result, water levels in California have significantly
improved, with officials even voluntarily releasing
water from several reservoirs ahead of expected rain.
So far in 2024, a number of California
cities have exceeded their annual average
rainfall, including Los Angeles and San Diego.
According to AccuWeather,
California is predicted to be
drought-free until at least 2025.
However, a coming shift from El Niño to La Niña
in the fall could impact how long California
experiences a period of time without droughts.

Google Fires Employees , for Protesting Israel Contract.
28 Google workers have been fired for protesting
a $1.2 billion contract that the company has with
the Israeli government and military to provide
cloud and AI services, NBC News reports. .
The firings follow an April 16 sit-in at
Google's offices in California, New York and Seattle in which nine workers were arrested.
The group that coordinated the demonstration
is known as No Tech for Apartheid. .
Google issued a statement about the recent firings.
A small number of employee
protesters entered and disrupted
a few of our locations. , Google spokesperson, via statement.
Physically impeding other employees’
work and preventing them from
accessing our facilities is a clear
violation of our policies, and
completely unacceptable behavior. , Google spokesperson, via statement.
We have so far concluded
individual investigations that
resulted in the termination of
employment for 28 employees,
and will continue to investigate
and take action as needed, Google spokesperson, via statement.
No Tech for Apartheid claims that the
workers were fired "indiscriminately.".
This excuse to avoid confronting
us and our concerns directly,
and attempt to justify its illegal,
retaliatory firings, is a lie, No Tech for Apartheid, via statement.
Meanwhile, many of Google's workers have
reportedly quit after experiencing "mental health consequences of working at a company that is using their labor to enable a genocide," No Tech for Apartheid said.
On a personal level, I am opposed
to Google taking any military
contracts — no matter which
government they’re with or what
exactly the contract is about. , Cheyne Anderson, a Google Cloud software engineer based
in Washington who was arrested during a sit-in, to CNBC

Google to Settle Lawsuit by , Destroying Billions of Private Browsing Records.
In 2020, Google was sued by numerous
users who claimed that the tech giant
secretly tracked their internet use despite
browsing in Chrome's incognito mode.
The plaintiffs claim that this allowed
Google to be an "unaccountable trove
of information," 'The Guardian' reports.
To settle the lawsuit, Google has agreed
to destroy billions of private records.
The company will also update
its "private" browsing disclosures. .
Additionally, incognito users will be
able to "block third-party cookies for
five years," 'The Guardian' reports.
The result is that Google will
collect less data from users’ private
browsing sessions, and that Google
will make less money from the data, Plaintiffs' lawyer, via 'The Guardian'.
While Google supports the settlement, it
does not agree with the "legal and factual characterizations" put forth by the plaintiffs.
We are limited in how strongly we
can market Incognito because it’s
not truly private, thus requiring
really fuzzy, hedging language
that is almost more damaging. , Google’s chief marketing officer, Lorraine Twohill,
wrote to the CEO, Sundar Pichai, in 2019, via 'The Guardian'.
A lawyer for the plaintiffs called
the agreement "a historic step in
requiring honesty and accountability
from dominant technology companies.".
While plaintiffs will not receive damages as part of this settlement, they could still sue individually to be monetarily compensated.
