Emirati students take part in campaign to track asteroid “Justicia” in US Wheatland

A large number of Emirati students are participating in a campaign to observe the asteroid “Justicia” in the American grasslands, and aim to explore it and collect scientific data about it, providing a deeper understanding of its size, orbit and orbit. Prakasam through the use of telescopes expressed their joy in joining this quality experiment in association with Emirates Space Agency.

While the study expertise of the participants varied, covering soil and crop science, economics, physics and mathematics, and aerospace engineering, their skills and abilities positively reflected the development of national competencies in the field of aerospace. .

Develop skills

Amar Al-Thawabi, who studies soil and crop science, participated in the “Justicia” asteroid observation campaign as an exciting and unprecedented experience, as he learned a lot about the importance of astronomical research with astronomical instruments such as telescopes. How to observe asteroids enriching his knowledge of the universe thanks to brilliant leadership.

The Emirates Space Agency and the Emirates Mission are giving them this unique opportunity to explore the asteroid belt, which will open up new frontiers for them in discovering knowledge, while he pointed out his interest in finding a link to knowledge, connecting space science with the soil. Science, Crops and Agriculture, to create sustainable projects in space, creating key sectors that serve this sector.

Sultan Al Balushi, who studies economics, continued that participating in the campaign was a unique opportunity to learn something new and develop his skills and understanding of the universe. He said he was very proud to be a part of this national initiative. And at the same time we look forward to more participation. , which enhances his knowledge and contributes to the development of the National Space Industry, while Hamdan Al Mansoori, who studies physics and mathematics, explained that the excitement he felt was hard to describe. When he saw the asteroid “Justicia” pass in front of the star, it was an unforgettable moment.

Share experiences

Working with the Emirates mission team to explore the asteroid belt represents a great opportunity to learn and exchange experiences in this exciting and important future field, he said, thanking the brilliant leadership and everyone who contributed to the implementation of this campaign. May there be many more successes in the future, while Khaled Al-Naqbi, who studies aerospace engineering in astrophysics, said that participating in the campaign was an inspiring experience in every sense of the word, and working with a special team.

The company has already started previewing the “Hudson Valley” update, which will later be released under the title Windows 12, via “Windows Insider” in preparation for the release of the RTM model in April 2024.

This version mainly focuses on improving the user experience with artificial intelligence technology, with features like “Windows Shell” and assistant with artificial intelligence technology, a digital assistant that works continuously on the back screen.

The digital assistant is expected to support improving search functions and launching applications, and artificial intelligence will also work to improve system management with smoother performance when integrated deep into the operating system through new NPU devices to achieve optimal performance.

Expectations also indicate that new standards will be required for computers to be compatible with new artificial intelligence technology, and the proportion of devices equipped with artificial intelligence technology is expected to rise to 81% by 2027.

Bieber Brings “iMessage” to Android Devices Due to Apple’s Privacy Infringement

Sunday 10 December 2023 / 13:04

Weeks after the failure of the NothingChats and Sunbird apps, the app Paper Mini announced the possibility of using iMessage for Android devices due to concerns about the privacy of users of Messages, an instant messaging service only available on Apple devices.

CNET.com, a website specializing in technology topics, notes that the Pepper Mini application is a successor to the original Pepper application, now named Pepper Cloud.

Like the original Sunbird or Paper applications, the Paper Mini application connects directly to the iMessage network without requiring a permanent connection to Apple Mac Mini devices. Therefore, the Pepper Mini does not require an Apple ID, although having this ID will allow the user to access the iMessage service via the Pepper Mini and Apple devices such as Macs and iPads.
Pepper says it supports several key features of iMessage using methods such as end-to-end message encryption, typing indicators, replying to posts and group chats.

Pepper was developed independently of Apple, and it is impossible to continue to offer all the features that Apple offers to iMessage users on iPhone smartphones and other devices manufactured by the American company.
Meanwhile, the original Pepper app has a waiting list of users who want to access it.

Original Pepper allows you to access the iMessage service using any Mac device while connected to another messaging app, such as WhatsApp.

Pepper Mini can be downloaded from Google’s Play Store without waiting, but the developer gets a $2 monthly subscription after a 7-day free trial period.

Faces Windows 10 Windows 11 is a new problem because operating systems rename printers to HP LaserJet printers, and the technology company notes that the issue affects devices running Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating systems running the 22H2 update.

How does this issue affect users?

Because of this issue, printers connected to Windows devices automatically install the HP Smart app and are renamed even if they are not HP devices, and the tech company confirmed that it has already started investigating the issue.

Microsoft has suggested that this issue is not caused by an HP update, but instead is a Windows problem. However, this issue does not stop printers from printing, and Windows 10/11 users can continue printing, but users try to double-click on the printer and get a “no jobs for this page” error. Get the message.

In a support note, Microsoft says: “Some issues have been observed with printer configurations on Windows devices that access the Microsoft Store. Microsoft will investigate this issue and work with partners to resolve it. Manufacturer.” Most are named after the HP LaserJet M101-M106 model, and the printer icons can also be changed.

Unaffected printers

There are some workarounds to prevent printers from being automatically renamed and settings can be enabled. For example, if your IT administrator blocks the use of the Microsoft Store, printers will not be renamed. In such cases, the HP Smart app will not be installed automatically.

However, it’s important to note that this isn’t the first time Windows and printers have had problems with each other. In March 2021, a blue screen appeared on some printers on computers due to a Windows update, and Microsoft was able to act quickly. Fix the problem.

A few months later, a serious, unpatched flaw appeared in the Windows Print Spooler service. Fixing this security issue caused some printers to stop working completely. The latest renaming fix is expected to be much less problematic.
