Google’s Nepali: Who is drawing a new map of Nepal

There are plenty of potential places in Nepal. But these places are not able to get global exposure. If these places can be presented to the world, it can be of great help to the country’s economy.

We are reaching such different places due to wandering or work. We share the photos on platforms like Facebook and Instagram. Only a limited number of people on your network can find out about these places when sharing on Instagram and Facebook.

But if you upload such things to the global platforms provided by Wikipedia and Google, its visibility is global. From this, places in Nepal can get global coverage.

On the other hand, the Google translation and voice assistant tools we use at Google do not understand Nepali language well. Some are initially translating English from Hindi to Nepali. When you give a command in English for a task called ‘Hello Google’ in the voice assistant tool, Google immediately responds to it. But in Nepali language this is not possible.

We get to use Google content for free. Google has left the ability, authority and responsibility to improve it further. Google does not collect images of your local language, country, and make them available to you by assigning staff. If users prioritize Google, it will continue to do so. Nowadays, most people rely on Google search to meet their needs.

The credit for starting both these communities in Nepal goes to Niraj Bhusal and others. Niraj is the founder of Google Local Guide Community Nepal, the founder of Google Developer Community Dang and the influencer of Google Crowdsource Nepal.

This community has registered with the Google community and has received official affiliation from Google. Niraj says that they have started this community to introduce the country to the world and to popularize it by feeding the details and information of Nepal on the global platform.

In this age of connectivity, feeding local data to Google means enriching Nepal with the help of global platform assistant tools. He believes that Google Crowdsource will help reduce the communication barriers that result from cultural diversity.

Facebook’s controversial gaming app has been released in the App Store

Facebook has removed its special gaming app Facebook gaming app mini game section and released it in Apple’s App Store. Because of this mini-game section, Apple has rejected this Facebook app from the App Store many times.

What is memorable here is that the Facebook gaming app is a live stream gaming app, in which the user can watch live. The Facebook gaming app will compete with platforms like Twitch. Facebook unveiled its gaming app last April.

Originally launched for Android users, the app was made available for iOS devices four months later. Facebook’s gaming app is seen as a feature gaming app, which is available in the Android app, but not for iOS users.

However, due to the mini games section, this app of Facebook could not get approval in Apple’s App Store. The company has since been forced to remove this section.

Sheryl Sedberg, Facebook’s chief operating officer, told The Verge: “Unfortunately, we had to completely remove the game play feature of the Stand Alone Facebook gaming app in order to get Apple’s approval.”

In this case, Apple has been saying that the Facebook gaming app has not followed the guidelines of the App Store. Facebook has claimed that this app is a gaming app. But 95 percent of it is used for gaming streaming.

A 21-year-old Nepali youth discovered Instagram’s ‘bug’ and won a हजार 6,000 prize

Cyber security researcher Saugat Pokharel has discovered a bug (security vulnerability) on Instagram. The 21-year-old discovered on Instagram that the user’s deleted photo and direct message had been on the company’s server for a long time.

According to Europe’s new data policy, in 2018, Instagram provided users with the facility to download their data. Taking advantage of the facility, Saugat downloaded his data. The downloaded data also included a photo he had deleted a year earlier and a direct message.

According to Instagram’s policy, if a user deletes a photo or direct message, the deleted message and photo must be removed within 90 days. This means that the company’s servers do not have such data.

However, in the data downloaded by Saugat, a photo older than 90 days is still on the server and that photo was also downloaded.

“The data that I deleted a long time ago has not been deleted by Instagram from its servers,” he told TechCrunch. The bug was fixed last month. ‘

“Investigators have long reported that even deleted data stays on the server and that the information is downloaded when the data is downloaded,” an Instagram spokesperson said. “Now the problem has been resolved.” There is no misuse of such data. ‘

For finding the bug, Instagram has given a reward of 6,000 US dollars, or 720,000 Nepali rupees.
