Public toilets in Swachh city to get tech tonic for real time hygiene monitoring
Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) has launched a tender process to convert these facilities into smart spaces. The initiative aims to monitor visitor numbers, air quality, odours, water tank levels, complaints and waste management whilst incorporating public feedback.
The sophisticated IoT system will monitor over 12 predetermined parameters, primarily focusing on sanitation, hygiene, and water management.
The system will generate alerts to staff across hierarchical levels if issues remain unresolved within specified time frame.
"We are implementing IoT across public toilets to improve hygiene standards and monitor vital parameters in real-time, enabling efficient problem resolution," said IMC additional commissioner Abhay Rajangaonkar.
He said, "This will reduce water wastage, ensure timely cleaning, and minimise manual oversight.

Following the tender process, implementation should commence within a month. All toilet data will integrate into our portal, generating real-time alerts for relevant officials." The issuance of a work order to contracted party is underway and the work on the IoT platforms for the public toilets is expected to start in a month's time.
The installed sensors will detect water leakages from tanks, unpleasant odours, and cleanliness-related concerns.
According to the contract specifications, the selected party will manage and maintain these IoT-enabled facilities for 60 months. Previously, IMC had equipped 120 city toilets with odour-detecting sensors.
IMC is also considering to include other tech solutions and platforms to improve efficiency and enhance public experiences across sectors. Recently, the corporation sought proposals from IIT Indore and Mumbai to conduct a source apportionment study for Indore to identify the sources of pollution and emission inventory.

Katie Miller resurfaces with both her husband and Elon Musk separately amid divorce rumors
Katie Miller clarifies she is with Stephen Miller in her personal relationship and with Elon Musk in her professional commitment. Katie Miller, the former White House staff, who walked out of the Donald Trump administration to work for Elon Musk amid rumors that she was getting separated from husband Stephen Miller, a key ally of President Donald Trump, resurfaced this week. On July 4, Katie Miller posted a photo with Stephen but before that she emerged as a signature to emails sent to reporters from Elon Musk's xAI. According to reports, the email announced that xAI, the artificial intelligence of Elon Musk's X, received the permit to use gas-powered turbines at a data center. Fortune reported that sending such a mail was not only unusual but also very rare for xAI as it rarely engaged with the media. Katie Miller and Stephen Miller were at the centre of everyone's curiosity as Stephen remained loyal to President Trump as his deputy chief of staff while Katie went to work with Elon Musk full time -- as Trump and Musk fought. There was a temporary lull in their fight as Musk apologized for some comments that he made about Trump, but their relationship was far from getting repaired. With Donald Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill' getting passed ahead of June 4, Elon Musk kept his promise of starting a new political party: America Party. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ford&Go.

As Katie Miller chose to work with Elon Musk, there were rumors that Katie was in a relationship with Musk and would divorce Stephen Miller soon. With her July 4 photo, Katie Miller sent a message to the rumor mills that she is in her marriage with Stephen Miller and her work commitment remains with Elon Musk. To defend Elon Musk, Katie Miller shut down James Fishback on social media after Fishback, who was known to be a former DOGE adviser, expressed disappointment with Elon's new political endeavor. "I respected Elon. I advised DOGE. My firm's largest positions is in Tesla," Fishback who also wrote to Tesla Board posted on X. "You didn't advise DOGE," Katie Miller rebukes him though Fishback officially was a DOGE adviser.

Microsoft suspends 3,000 Outlook and Hotmail accounts with…
Microsoft has suspended approximately 3,000 Outlook and Hotmail accounts linked to North Korean IT workers as part of a coordinated crackdown on a sophisticated global fraud scheme. The tech giant's Threat Intelligence Center identified the operation, dubbed "Jasper Sleet," which has infiltrated hundreds of Fortune 500 companies over recent years. The scheme involves North Korean IT workers using fabricated or stolen identities to secure remote jobs in tech companies worldwide. These workers, trained and dispatched by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), have successfully obtained legitimate employment, with some companies reporting that the remote workers were among their most talented employees. DOJ seizes laptops and shuts down 'laptop farms' across US The Department of Justice announced a coordinated takedown alongside Microsoft's account suspensions, seizing hundreds of laptops, 29 financial accounts, and shutting down nearly two dozen websites. Law enforcement searched 29 "laptop farms" across the United States, where accomplices—including Americans—agreed to maintain laptops shipped by companies that unknowingly hired North Koreans for remote positions. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like De geheime hulp bij urineverlies waar niemand over praat Damesondergoed Meer informatie Undo A notable case involves a Maryland nail salon employee who will be sentenced in August after being found to hold 13 remote jobs handled by North Korean IT workers located in China.

AI tools help workers evade detection in $600 million scheme The North Korean IT worker conspiracy generates up to $600 million annually, according to UN estimates. The revenue funds Kim Jong Un's nuclear weapons program, making cybersecurity a national security issue. Microsoft reports that the workers are increasingly using AI tools to improve their deception tactics—eliminating grammatical errors, enhancing photos, and experimenting with voice-changing software. The company has developed custom machine-learning solutions using "impossible time travel risk detections" to identify suspect accounts logging in from Western nations and China or Russia simultaneously. While Microsoft hasn't observed combined AI voice and video technology yet, the company warns this could allow future threat actors to conduct interviews directly without relying on facilitators.

GitHub CEO to engineers: 'Smartest' companies will hire more software engineers, not less as…
GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke says the companies that best leverage artificial intelligence won't use it to replace human developers, but instead will dramatically increase their engineering hiring to capitalize on AI-enhanced productivity gains. "The companies that are the smartest are going to hire more developers," Dohmke said in a recent podcast interview. "Because if you 10x a single developer, then 10 developers can do 100x." The GitHub chief executive argues that AI serves as a powerful multiplier for engineering talent rather than a replacement, making individual developers significantly more efficient while creating demand for additional skilled professionals. He believes current industry layoffs and hiring freezes represent a temporary market adjustment as companies figure out AI's true potential. AI democratizes coding but doesn't eliminate need for professional developers by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Dohmke emphasized that while AI has made programming more accessible to beginners and streamlined workflows for experienced developers, it hasn't eliminated the need for deep technical expertise in business environments. He dismissed the notion that AI alone can build billion-dollar companies without substantial coding knowledge. "I think the idea that AI without any coding skills lets you just build a billion-dollar business is mistaken," he said. "Because if that would be the case, everyone would do it." Rather than draining development backlogs, Dohmke observed that AI has actually generated more work by enabling teams to tackle previously impossible projects. He hasn't seen any companies completely eliminate developer workloads , even as AI accelerates project completion. The GitHub CEO called this the "most exciting time" to be a developer, noting that AI has brought closer the long-held dream of transforming Sunday morning ideas into functioning mobile apps by evening.
