‘Configuration change’ behind global Instagram outage: Meta

0

Meta has announced that ‘Configuration change’ was the reason behind the global Instagram outage.

The company said that it has fixed the issue that briefly made Instagram and Facebook inaccessible for some users, reports The Verge.

When trying to load either site on a desktop browser or display, affected users encountered errors such as “page not available” or “feed not refreshing”.

But there were some users that were not impacted and were able to load all of Meta’s services without any problems.

Thousands of users from many parts of India and the world reported problems with the application.

On Downdetector, an online platform that provides users with real-time information about the status of various websites and services, over 900 users in India reported issues in accessing Instagram.

Many users took to the microblogging platform Twitter to report the issue.

“Instagram freezes using Google Chrome browser. Cannot see stories or open users’ pages. It keeps loading,” an Instagram user said in a tweet.

“Everything quit working. Force closed and cleared cache. Even restarted my phone. Can’t see notifications. Can’t reply to comments,” another user commented.

During the last Instagram outage which occurred in September, nearly 34,000 users reported having trouble accessing the platform.

PKL 9: Puneri Paltan, Haryana Steelers play out thrilling 27-27 tie

0

In front of their home fans for the first time this season, the Puneri Paltan threatened to win big against the Haryana Steelers. But the Haryana side fought back and eventually tied the match 27-27 in the Pro Kabaddi League Season 9 at the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex, here on Friday.

The Paltan made an explosive start with Mohit Goyat starting off with a Super Raid. A close review by the Paltan also worked out in their favor, as they had the momentum in their corner, playing at home for the first time this season. Midway through the first half, the Paltans were in control and had a slender 1-point lead, with both sides being watchful in their approach.

Cheered on by the home support, the Paltan raged on as Fazel Atrachali and co tackled emphatically, giving themselves a 3-point lead at 13-10 at the end of the first half.

The Pune team started off the second half on the front foot, attaining an 8-point lead with an All Out. Soon after though, the Steelers went through the gears, with Manjeet taking charge and Mohit chipping in too, cutting down the lead significantly midway through the second half.

The Steelers stayed in the hunt with Manjeet getting an Out, bringing the difference in points down to 2 in the 36th minute. Soon after Manjeet and Amirhossein Bastami brought the Steelers to level pegging, with just over a minute to go.

The final minutes of the game was riveting as both teams threw the kitchen sink at each other, but eventually, the sides had to share the spoils with the score 27-27 at the final whistle.

Flipkart losses widens to Rs 4,362 cr in FY22, up 51%

0

Walmart-owned Flipkart’s losses widened to Rs 4,362 crore in FY22, a 51 percent increase from the last financial year.

The e-commerce platform reported Rs 10,659 crore as revenues in FY22, an increase of 31 percent (-on-year), according to data accessed by business intelligence platform Tofler.

The company’s total expenses for FY22 were Rs 15,020 crore.

Flipkart recently achieved more than 1 billion customer visits on its platform during The Big Billion Days (TBBD) festive sales.

According to Walmart’s filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Flipkart spent $1.1 billion from February 1 to July 31.

In comparison, Amazon India posted a 32.5 percent growth (YoY) by reporting Rs 21,462 crore in revenue for its marketplace vertical called Amazon Seller Services. The e-commerce giant also narrowed its losses by 23 percent to Rs 3,649 crore in FY22.

Meanwhile, retail giant Walmart is reportedly raising up to $3 billion for its e-commerce giant Flipkart to further expand its operations in the country.

With new funds, Flipkart’s valuation is set to soar to more than $40 billion, giving a fillip to the Indian funding scene which is going through a harsh winter.

Flipkart Group in July last year raised $3.6 billion to grow and advance the digital commerce ecosystem in India. The investment valued the group at $37.6 billion post the money then.

According to media reports, Walmart may bring strategic investors into Flipkart via this fundraising.

Twitter to be delisted from New York Stock Exchange on Nov 8

0

Twitter’s new owner Elon Musk has taken the micro-blogging website private and the company’s stock will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange on November 8, a new filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has revealed.

This came after Musk completed Twitter’s $44 billion takeover and fired its Indian-origin CEO Parag Agrawal, Chief Financial Officer Ned Segal, and the company’s policy chief Vijaya Gadde.

Twitter delisting will take place on the same day as the US midterm elections.

“The New York Stock Exchange hereby notifies the SEC of its intention to remove the entire class of the stated securities from listing and registration on the Exchange at the opening of business on November 08, 2022,” read the SEC filing.

The filing further said that “the merger between Twitter and X Holdings II, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of X Holdings I, Inc., wholly owned by Elon R. Musk became effective on October 27, 2022”.

Each share of Twitter was exchanged for $54.20 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes.

Making Twitter a private company gives Musk some advantages.

According to reports, privately held firms do not have to make quarterly public disclosures about their performance and are subject to less regulatory scrutiny.

Musk will also have tighter control over Twitter.

Twitter will likely form a new board after the current members dissolve. Musk is likely to take over as Twitter CEO for the time being.

President Murmu to visit Nagaland Nov 2-3

President Droupadi Murmu would visit Nagaland on November 2 and 3, on her second visit to the northeastern region after assuming office, officials said on Friday.

Officials said that the President would attend a number of events while the state government would accord her a civic reception at Capital Cultural Hall in Kohima on November 2.

The state government has invited Presidents and other leaders of the 22 tribal organizations to attend the civic reception wearing their traditional shawls.

President Murmu earlier this month visited Tripura (October 12-13) and Assam (October 13-14) and laid foundation stones and inaugurated a slew of projects.

T20 World Cup: Australia-England Group 1 clash washed out due to rain in Melbourne

0

The highly-anticipated Group 1 clash between Australia and England in Super 12 of the Men’s T20 World Cup on Friday was washed out due to rain without a ball being bowled at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Friday.

Earlier in the day, another Group 1 match between Ireland and Afghanistan was also abandoned without a ball being bowled due to rain. Now, just like Afghanistan and Ireland split points, England and Australia will now share points from Friday’s washout.

The toss for the clash, which was supposed to be at 6:30 pm Melbourne time, was delayed ahead of an inspection at 7.30 pm local time. There were hopes that a truncated match would happen as covers were taken off, as the fans saw a glimmer of hope.

But, with player safety being a priority and the outfield being visibly damp, umpires Chris Brown, Joel Wilson, and Aleem Dar decided to have another inspection at 8:15 pm. With conditions not changing much, a third inspection was scheduled later on.

But just 20 minutes before the scheduled inspection would happen, the rain returned and eventually led to the match being called off as captains Aaron Finch and Jos Buttler shook hands. Australia and England were awarded one point each and now join table-toppers New Zealand and second-placed Ireland on three points in the Group 1 point table.

“The outfield was drenched, it was as wet as I have ever seen it. I think the run-ups were an issue and the inner circle. It comes down to player safety. If you are trying to run out there, it was going to be a real issue,” said Finch later on.

The next match from Group 1 will be played between New Zealand and Sri Lanka on Saturday at the Sydney Cricket Ground, with the winner of the clash having a chance to be on top of Group 1.

England’s next match in the tournament will be against New Zealand at The Gabba in Brisbane on Tuesday, with Australia facing Ireland on Monday at the same venue.

Rupee touches 82.72 against dollar before closing at 82.63

0

The Indian rupee on Friday closed at 82.63 after touching a high of 82.72 against the US dollar.

The Indian currency gave up its early gains due to higher dollar demand.

Earlier this month, the rupee had touched a record high of 83.18 against the dollar.

The investors’ dim outlook on China and also on the overall global economy has impacted the rupee.

The rupee’s fate will also depend on the crucial Federal Reserve meeting on November 2, market watchers said.

In addition to this, the ECB’s soft comments drove market views that central banks will likely moderate the pace of monetary tightening.

This was more so after the Bank of Canada surprisingly announced a smaller-than-expected rate hike.

Rakul Preet Singh’s vacay pics from Maldives have set mercury soaring

Akshay’s ‘Ram Setu’ makes Rs 35 cr, Ajay’s ‘Thank God’ Rs 18 cr since Oct 25

The ‘Khiladi’ of Bollywood Akshay Kumar’s latest release ‘Ram Setu’ and Hindi film star Ajay Devgn’s ‘Thank God, which clashed at the box office, have raked in Rs 35.40 crore and Rs 18.25 crore respectively since their release on October 25.

Trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to Twitter, where he shared the box-office numbers for both movies.

For ‘Ram Setu’, he shared: “#RamSetu is holding well in mass pockets, which is driving its biz… But biz at multiplexes/urban centers – which contribute a large chunk – is lackluster… Weekend biz [Fri to Sun] will be the decider…Tue 15.25 cr, Wed 11.40 cr, Thu 8.75 cr. Total:? 35.40 cr. #India biz.”

The story of ‘Ram Setu’ revolves around an atheist archaeologist turned believer, Dr. Aryan Kulshrestha (Akshay Kumar), who must race against time to prove the true existence of the legendary Ram Setu before evil forces destroy the pillar of India’s heritage.

For Ajay Devgn, Sidharth Malhotra and Rakul Preet Singh-starrer ‘Thank God’: “#ThankGod is on a declining spree… The 3-day total is shockingly low, more so during # the Diwali period… An upturn on Sat and Sun is very important… Tue 8.10 cr, Wed 6 cr, Thu 4.15 cr. Total:? 18.25 cr. #India biz.”

‘Thank God is a fantasy comedy-drama film directed by Indra Kumar. It is an official remake of the Danish film ‘Sorte Kugler’.

Tamil actress Tanya Hope to perform a dance number in Aayush Sharma’s ‘AS04’

South Indian actress Tanya Hope is set to make her Hindi debut with an appearance in a dance number for the recently announced yet-to-be-titled fourth film of Bollywood actor Aayush Sharma. The action thriller film is tentatively titled ‘AS04’ and was announced by Aayush, with a teaser of the film on his social media.

Talking about the dance number in the Aayush Sharma-starrer, the actress said, “The song we danced to is a banger and I can’t wait for the audience to hear it. The great Jani master has choreographed this track, and we all really enjoyed shooting it and performing it. Without a doubt, this will be the next banger at all the weddings.”

The actress also spoke about the pattern of Bollywood remaking content from South India. She said that it helps reach local stories to a wider set of audience.

She said, “There are some great stories being made in different languages too and they are reaching a bigger audience. I have also done a remake of a Bollywood film in Tamil. It was a remake of ‘Vicky Donor’, which was titled ‘Dharla Prabhu’ where I played the character that was played by Yami Gautam in the Hindi version”.

“I personally believe that if the film is good, why not remake it”, she added.

PKL 9: Feels great to defeat Dabang Delhi, says Bengal Warriors coach Baskaran

0

The Bengal Warriors registered a crucial 35-30 victory over table-toppers Dabang Delhi K.C. in their last match of the Bengaluru leg on Wednesday.

The Warriors are currently in fifth place with 4 wins under their belt. Ahead of the start of the Pune leg, Bengal Warriors’ Head Coach K Baskaran said, “It feels great to defeat Dabang Delhi K.C. before the next leg in Pune. We are really happy and our team has gained confidence as well. Our main target has been to play well and play with unity. Naveen has been performing really well, but our defenders were determined to play well against him.”

Baskaran added that the team will continue their rhythm in Pune, “We were successful in raiding and defending departments in our match against Delhi. We will look to continue our rhythm and the understanding we have on the mat in our upcoming matches in Pune.”

Matches on Saturday:

The Dabang Delhi K.C. will look to get back into winning ways when they face off against Bengaluru Bulls in Pune on Saturday. However, they will receive a strong challenge from Bulls’ raider Bharat, who has been in terrific form this season.

The Telugu Titans and Gujarat Giants will be desperate for a victory after facing heart-breaking losses in their previous matches. While the Titans will hope for their raider Siddharth Desai to take them over the line, the Giants will be banking on their prime raider – Rakesh.

The last match of the day will be a cracker of a contest as Bengal Warriors and U Mumba are high on confidence after recording comprehensive victories in their previous games. While raider Maninder Singh will lead the charge for the Warriors, raider Guman Singh will hope to make an impact for U Mumba.

Shraddha appears in ‘Thumkeshwari’, raises curiosity bar for ‘Bhediya’

The wolves are howling in unison as after ‘Param Sundari’, Kriti Sanon is back to shaking a leg on the first song from her upcoming movie ‘Bhediya’, titled ‘Thumkeshwari’.

The funky dance number sees Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon swaying to Ganesh Acharya’s choreography. But, the major takeaway from the song is Shraddha Kapoor, who also features grooving to the upbeat number.

Sharing his thoughts on the track, Varun Dhawan said in a statement: “Thumkeshwari is a number that’s tailor-made to burn the dance floor. I thoroughly enjoyed performing to its funky tune. The song’s lyrics are a catchy delight, and I am sure fans are going to have a gala time dancing to the track.”

‘Bhediya’ belongs to the horror-comedy universe of producer Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films and Shraddha featuring in the song takes the viewers back to the ‘Stree’ days and piques the interest of the audience behind this appearance of her in the song she will have a cameo in the film as well.

About working on the song, Kriti said: “I had an absolute ball shooting for ‘Thumkeshwari’. I was sharing screen space with Varun after a very long time and we have never worked on this kind of a grand track together. This was quite the memorable experience.”

Composed by Sachin-Jigar and penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya, who also wrote the lyrics for ‘Param Sundari’, Thumkeshwari is a peppy number crooned by the music directors themselves along with Ash King and Rashmeet Kaur.

Presented by Jio Studios and Dinesh Vijan, ‘Bhediya’ is a Maddock Films production, directed by Amar Kaushik, and produced by Dinesh Vijan.

The film, which also stars Deepak Dobriyal and Abhishek Banerjee, will have a pan-India theatrical release in Hindi, Telugu, and Tamil in 2D and 3D on November 25.
