Zuck has lost it

Nick Clegg from the company Meta was discussing about his company's vision of the Metaverse in the global technology conference arranged by Carnegie India in New Delhi today. 
After listening to his pitch for promotion of Metaverse, he was seen advocating for governments to come up with rules and regulations for the citizen of Metaverse. 
Consider this. If you are playing a three dimensional role playing multiplayer game. The game is real for you as long as you play it. It ceases to exist for you as soon as you log off the game. If you want to do real life transactions like buying or ordering an item online while you are in your online Avatar, you would receive that item delivered to your place as you would get it on Amazon or Flipkart 

The problem with Metaverse, the way it is being promoted seems as if it has a life of its own. It assumes that real life is separate from the activities you perform on internet posing as your 3D Avatar. Mark Zuckerberg is promoting this 3D role playing platform as if it has a separate existence from your physical existence. What is that you would be doing or not be doing in a Metaverse that you can or can't do on the internet today  So why this over emphasis on separate rules and regulations for the Metaverse? 

It is almost like a child believing the game he is playing as a real world and getting obsessed by that game. Not only Mark Zuckerberg has got obsessed by the reality of his own imaginary universe, he is pushing other idiots to promote his idea of a virtual 3 dimensional universe. 
If a person starts pouring investor's money to promote to people to agree to his imagination and to support him, some stupid and greedy individuals may play along for some time. But it may not go far. Real life is not a computer game.

How to find if your phone has any virus that affects your computer.

The simple answer to this question is to have an antivirus software or internet security software suite installed both on your computer as well as on your smartphone. There are some antivirus programs that let you scan your smartphone from your computer. If you have installed antivirus program on your smartphone, that should ensure that there are no virus files on your smartphone. The question of infecting your computer arises when you want to transfer files from your smartphone to your computer, so at that time, the antivirus program on your computer should be auto-scanning those files to check for viruses. If you want to be doubly sure of that, you can run a manual scan on those files, that should keep your mind at ease.

Etymology of word bull

The origin of the bulla seal is a matter of some debate, but it is generally thought to have originated in the ancient Near East. The earliest known bullae date from the 8th millennium BC, and they were made of clay. These early bullae were used to seal documents and containers, and they often bore the impression of a seal ring. In the 4th millennium BC, bullae began to be made of lead. This was because lead was more durable than clay, and it could be easily melted and reused. Lead bullae were often used by the royal courts of the ancient Near East, and they were used to seal official documents. The use of bullae spread to the Mediterranean world in the 1st millennium BC. In the Roman Empire, bullae were used by both the government and private individuals. They were used to seal documents, contracts, and letters. Bullae were also used to decorate clothing and jewelry.
