The launch of new PCs and laptops may be affected by the spread of Corona in China.
Due to the rapid spread of Corona again in China during the last few weeks, there may be a labor shortage in many industries. This is also likely to affect the launch of new PCs and laptops. In China, the government had given some relaxation in the restrictions related to Corona. Since then the number of people infected with this virus is increasing. The problems of suppliers of companies manufacturing personal computers and laptops in China have also increased due to Corona. Many workers of some of these firms have been infected with the virus and due to this production has had to be temporarily stopped. This will cause delays in shipments, which will impact the availability of products like new laptops. Contract manufacturing firms like Compal, Inventec, Quanta and Wistron have not yet faced shortages of components or workers. Due to the inventory already available with them and the demand not being expected to be very high in the first quarter, they have not asked their suppliers to increase production. However, big companies manufacturing personal computers may face difficulties and this is likely to impact the supply of PCs. The situation in China is worsening due to increasing Corona cases. A large number of people are getting infected by the new variant of this epidemic called BF.7. The reports coming from China have shocked the whole world. The videos coming from Chinese hospitals are scary. One such video has been shared on social media, in which it can be seen that a doctor became so tired due to the workload that he collapsed on his chair. This video has been shared by ‘The Telegraph’. It can be seen that a doctor is looking at the patients present in the hospital. After this he suddenly falls on his chair and other doctors come to help him. This indicates that China’s hospitals are full of patients and the systems there have completely collapsed. Experts say that 60 percent of China’s population may get infected with Corona in the next 90 days. -

Twitter fined Rs 50 lakh for not obeying central government’s order, know the whole matter
The Karnataka High Court on Friday rejected Twitter’s petition against the central government’s order. The Center had asked Twitter to block some accounts, tweets and URLs, which the company did not agree to. The order was challenged in court. The court said that the company’s petition has no basis. While hearing the case, Justice Krishna S. Dixit’s single bench imposed a fine of Rs 50 lakh on Twitter and directed to deposit the fine amount within 45 days. According to PTI report, Justice Dixit, while rejecting Twitter’s plea, said that he agreed with the Centre’s argument that the government has the power to block tweets and ban accounts. Between 10 different orders issued by the Central Government were challenged. Twitter had earlier claimed that the government had directed it to block 1474 Twitter accounts, 175 tweets, 256 URLs and one hashtag, but only the orders related to 39 URLs were challenged in the court. The court had reserved its decision in this case on April 21, which was pronounced today. Twitter had described the government orders as arbitrary and against freedom of expression. Despite knowing that there is a provision of 7 years imprisonment and fine for not following the Centre’s order, Twitter did not follow the orders. In its decision, the court told Twitter that you are a company worth billions of dollars, not a farmer or a common man who is not aware of the law. The Central Government Minister has also reacted to this decision. Minister of State for Electronics and IT Rajeev Chandrashekhar has said that Twitter’s decision to challenge the government notice in court to block some accounts was actually part of the ‘fictitious story’ put forward by the company’s former CEO Jack Dorsey.All platforms hv to be in compliance with Indian law n @Twitter under @jack repeatedly refused to do so. In response to @GoI_MeitY ‘s notice for non-compliance they approached Karnataka High Court n judgment ✅Karnataka High Court has dismissed the petition filed by…— Rajeev Chandrasekhar (@Rajeev_GoI) June 30, 2023It is noteworthy that former Twitter CEO Dorsey had recently claimed that the Indian government had warned of shutting down the company in the country and raiding its employees if Twitter posts were not removed and Twitter accounts were not banned. Dorsey had claimed that the posts and accounts that were pressured to be removed were related to protests against agricultural laws and criticism of the government. The minister said that the court order makes it clear that all platforms should be banned in India. The law has to be followed.
