Earlier this year, Perplexity introduced Comet in a beta form, initially available only to Mac users with Apple Silicon chips. The browser integrates AI tools that let users ask questions, find discounts in shopping carts, and manage emails more efficiently. One notable feature is that it allows users to upload a photo and see how selected clothing items would look on them, which shows the browser's interactive AI capabilities.

Although Perplexity has not set an official launch date, the CEO hinted at a wider release soon and continues to accept sign-ups via a waitlist. The browser has attracted attention not only for its AI features but also for privacy concerns. Srinivas previously made a statement suggesting Comet would collect data beyond the app to better understand users, which sparked debate. He later clarified that users will have the option to opt out of personalisation related to targeted advertising.

While this update could increase user interaction, it also raises concerns about misinformation on X, a platform already under scrutiny for content moderation issues. Perplexity stated that it has implemented robust filters to reduce misuse of the video creation tool.

How to build a spider farm in Minecraft
Image via Mojang Minecraft is one of the most creative games, as it features a wide variety of creatures and things. Spider is one of the mobs in Minecraft that only attacks during nighttimeor when you try to attack them. Spiders are not vulnerable to sunlight, unlike other mobs. Building a spider farm helps players to get a steady supply of strings, spider eyes, and, most importantly, experience points. In order to build a spider, players first need to search for a spider spawner, since without a spawner, it won't be possible to build a spider farm in Minecraft. These spider spawners are usually found in dungeons or mineshafts. This article will provide a step-by-step detailed guide on how to build a spider farm in Minecraft. Steps to build a spider farm in Minecraft Minecraft Spider Spawner XP Farm - Easy and Reliable Build Here are the following steps to make a spider farm: Locating the spawner: In order to build a spider farm, first players need to find a spider spawner; cave-spider spawners are often found in mineshafts surrounded in cobwebs. Once you find the spawner, make sure to surround the spawner with torches to stop spawning while clearing the area. Players need to ensure the room is approximately 9×3×9 blocks with a 1-block gap around the spawner. Building the collector system Players need to create a narrow 1.5-block-high spawning floor under a slab ceiling to prevent tall mobs from spawning. Then use water to funnel spiders toward a central channel. Then place water sources on one side of the chamber to push the spiders into a collection stream. Making a grinder Manual grinder : Make a constricted kill chamber allowing safe player access without enabling spiders to climb or escape. Use trapdoors, fences, or doors as barriers. Automatic grinder : Add magma blocks, campfires, or an iron golem to damage or kill spiders. Place hoppers underneath to collect drops. Prevent spider climbing. Add making slabs or trapdoors along the edge, as spiders can climb walls. Activating the farm Once all systems are complete, remove torches to activate the spawner. Players can also build an item sorter beneath hoppers to separate strings from spider eyes. If you want to increase the spawn rate, you can consider stacking up multiple spawners and then channeling all of them to a single grinder, which will improve efficiency. These were the following steps to build a spider farm in Minecraft. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.

Sound of innovation: Mumbai mosques go digital with 'azan app' to overcome loudspeaker curbs
MUMBAI: In the backdrop of curbs over the use of loudspeakers, half-a-dozen mosques in Mumbai have registered on a dedicated mobile phone application which relays the 'azan', or call to prayer, directly to the faithful in real-time. The app, Online Azan, has been developed by a Tamil Nadu-based company. Given the restrictions and sensitivities surrounding the use of loudspeakers for the call to prayer, the dedicated mobile app helps relay the azan directly to worshippers from local mosques, Fahad Khalil Pathan, managing trustee of Mahim Juma Masjid, told PTI. The free app will allow users to listen to the azan at home, especially during Ramzan (the Islamic holy month of fasting) and other times when public announcements are restricted, he explained. "The initiative comes after a police crackdown on the use of loudspeakers, where officers visited the mosque (Juma Masjid) and warned loudspeaker use could result in action. This led to the mosque temporarily disabling its sound system," Pathan stated. To ensure that spiritual experience remains uninterrupted, especially for the elderly and those residing nearby (the mosque), the Juma Masjid in the Mahim area has adopted the app, he said. The app was developed with technical support from a team of IT professionals from Tirunelveli in Tamil Nadu, and is now available on Android devices and iPhones. The app plays a live audio stream of the azan through mobile phones, exactly when it is delivered from the mosque.
