Qatar Airways Elevates Wi-Fi With Starlink

A Russian student was imprisoned for 10 days in Moscow after he used a pro-Kyiv slogan as the name of his wi-fi network.

The network was named by the Moscow State University student as "Slava Ukraini!" which means "Glory to Ukraine!".

He was found guilty by a Moscow court of displaying "symbols of extremist organisations" on Thursday (Mar 7).

Since the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine war, thousands of people have been given prison sentences or imposed fines for either supporting Ukraine or criticising Russia's invasion.&nbsp;

The police arrested the student on Wednesday morning (Mar 7) in Moscow after a police officer had reported the name of the network to the authorities.&nbsp;

As per the court documents, his room - which was inside the university's student accommodation - was inspected by the police officers after which they found his personal computer and a wi-fi router.

According to the court, he had used the network to "promote the slogan 'Slava Ukraini!' to an unlimited number of users within wi-fi range." The police confiscated the router.

The supporters of Ukraine have been using "Slava Ukraini" as a rallying cry and are regularly chanted in protests against the full-scale invasion of Russia which was launched on&nbsp;February 24,&nbsp;2022.

<h2>Court finds student guilty of 'public demonstration of Nazi symbolism'&nbsp;</h2>

The court also found the student guilty of "public demonstration of Nazi symbolism... or symbols of extremist organisations".&nbsp;

Russian President Vladimir Putin has always claimed that a "neo-Nazi regime" is present in Ukraine and has used this excuse to justify his invasion.

The student has joined the long list of Russian citizens who have faced punishment for making comments or carrying out some action opposing the war.&nbsp;

In February, hundreds of people were detained in Russia after they laid flowers in memory of opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who died in suspicious circumstances while staying in an Arctic Circle prison.

In Russia, the conflict is not allowed to be called a "war" and should be referred to as a "special military operation".

As per Amnesty International, more than 21,000 people last year were targeted by "repressive laws" of Russia which were used to "crack down on anti-war activists".

The human rights group claimed that "deeply unfair trials" were used to "dish out prison sentences and hefty fines to silence critics in response to the slightest dissent."

Russia jails student for 10 days over pro-Ukraine wi-fi name

This is the day and age of&nbsp;convenience economy. Everything is available at the tap of a finger. Press a button and your room's lights can be turned on and off. Press another button and your drapes can be opened. However, what about that toaster, serving your staple breakfast in the morning?&nbsp;

Well, a certain company named Tineco is taking care of it as well. Reportedly, the company's new product, a $340 toaster that connects to your home's Wi-Fi can be used to toast bread from afar and most importantly, according to your liking and preference. It is expected to be rolled out in the markets from next month.&nbsp;

“Two slices don’t have to be the same, meaning that you can individually adjust the toast for each slot. Crucially, this means you no longer need to worry about “who goes first” – two people can have their ideal toast cooking away, simultaneously,” the company's description of the product reads.&nbsp;

For a product that is easily available for under $50 and works like a charm for most consumers, Tineco has certainly grabbed the eyeballs of the curious ones and the self-proclaimed 'early adaptors' of the technology.&nbsp;After all, one expects miraculous things from a product when it is priced as costly as $340.

However, the truth is, the toaster, with its patented technology, apart from storing up to 10 toasting preferences, doesn't do a lot more than its conventional counterparts.&nbsp;

It is a gimmick that grabs eyeballs but beyond that, it is not a practical product that can run uninterrupted for more than 10 years, which most toasters seem to do without breaking a sweat.

Adding unnecessary smart innovations only adds to the complexity of the product. One doesn't need to operate an app after waking up to have their breakfast served. However, we might be leaning towards the pessimism of things, the internet of things, to be precise. There might be individuals who may like their breakfast served in a certain way.

Can't wait for a plate that is connected to Wi-Fi and automatically arranges the items on it in a certain way that an individual likes. That will be perhaps be the pinnacle of modern-day technology.&nbsp;

Who needs it anyway? A $340 Wi-Fi toaster that toasts bread to your preference

Google, a unit of Alphabet Inc, said on Tuesday it launched Google Station in India, a service that aims to deepen its reach across the country, as the search giant seeks to bring more people&nbsp;to its Google platform.

Under the service, Google will roll-out Wi-Fi hot spots in places frequented by a large number of people, such as malls and transit stations, and in social hangout locations such as cafes and universities, the company said on Tuesday.

Google currently offers free Wi-Fi access at 53 railway stations across India and plans to scale up the service to 100 by year-end, the company said.
