Today, at the Huawei Developer’s conference (HDC) 2019 event, Huawei announced the company’s very own operating system for smartphone, tablets and smart IoT devices such as smart speakers, computers, smartwatches, wireless earbuds, cars and more. The operating system is named as HarmonyOS and the CEO Richard Yu said that the brand’s very own operating system is the first microkernel-based distributed Operating System and it is created with four major building blocks to ensure that the new generation operating system is best suited for the digital world today.  As HarmonyOS operating system is based on a microkernel, it is more efficient to protect system security from the threats as compared to Android.

It helps the operating system to adapt different screen layout controls and interactions and support both drag-and-drop control and preview-oriented visual programming. It also helps the developer to build apps that can run efficiently on multiple devices.

The Huawei CEO said that it is going to take a day or two to move from Google’s Android to the new HarmonyOS if needed. But for now, the brand will stick to Google’s platform. He also said that the Huawei can switch to HarmonyOS anytime if the devices face any issues regarding Android in the future.

To encourage broader adoption, the company will release the HarmonyOS as an open-source platform, worldwide. The operating system will bring new benefits to the users, equipment vendors, and developers.

Robert Downey Jr. Blames ‘Assistant’ for Mistakenly Tweeting From a Huawei Phone, Instead of a OnePlus 7 Pro

Mistakes are done by everyone but very few people have the guts to own up for their mistakes, and a mistake is more noticeable when it is done by a celebrity. Every individual on social media has an eye on the posts of celebrities. Recently Robert Downey Jr was seen promoting OnePlus 7 on Weibo. But the tragic part was that post was made using OnePlus’s competitor smartphone, Huawei P30 Pro.   Before the post can be deleted most of the people had already taken the screenshots.

The Hollywood actor and the best superhero of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Robert Downey Jr dealt with this situation as calmly as he could. He explained his side of the story and claimed that his assistant uploaded the post on his Weibo account and that it is the time to upgrade to the OnePlus 7 Pro. He also added that it will be great if he upgrades his assistant to a new OnePlus 7 Pro so that the mistakes don’t happen again.  Robert Downey Jr very smartly got over this situation whereas last year, Gal Gadot was trolled by the twitter police force because she used an iPhone to promote a Huawei device on twitter. Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma was also spotted using an iPhone to promote Google Pixel.

There have been many such instances where celebrities have been trolled for such mistakes. Robert Downey Jr could have been one of them too. But, by taking the ownership of his mistake and giving the assurance to the audience that such mistakes will not happen again in future, Ironman won the hearts, AGAIN!!

DeepMind AI can predict kidney illness 48 hours before it occurs

The reason for these many deaths is that Acute Kidney Injury is not detected soon. The Acute Kidney Injury causes the build-up of waste in the blood, making it hard for the kidneys to balance fluid; the result is often a sudden failure or damage that occurs over a few hours or a few days. To detect this injury, the researchers are taking the help of Artificial Intelligence.
