Cats, Vivo X300 Ultra, and the serenity of a pocket camera  | Technology News

It’s peak summer in Delhi, and the sun already feels like fire in the morning. I water the plants in a small terrace garden I have made for myself, and there comes Faraday, gleaming and looking at me. Faraday is a seven-month-old male cat who was born on my terrace. While his mother is gone, Faraday spends a lot of time here. I spend a lot of time with Faraday, which means I often end up as his photographer. And let me tell you, when he’s in a good mood, he’s a total poser. A few days ago, I posted a photo of Faraday on LinkedIn, and many people asked what camera I used to capture it. I have been using the Vivo X300 Ultra (and not a traditional camera) for some time now, and it has quickly become my go-to pocket camera. It’s easily one of the best cameras I have ever used for everyday photography. It’s an exceptional camera system with versatile lenses and optional zoom accessories. At the same time, it’s a reminder …

How Pooja Krishnamoorthy conquered the challenging Brazil 135 ultra marathon

How Pooja Krishnamoorthy conquered the challenging Brazil 135 ultra marathon

For most, the Caminho da Fé (Path of Faith) in Brazil is a sacred pilgrimage to a holy cathedral. But for Mumbai-based advertising producer Pooja Krishnamoorthy, it was the backdrop for 200 kilometers of physical and mental challenge. Last month, Krishnamoorthy completed the Brazil 135 Ultramarathon, an elite race through the grueling Serra da Mantiqueira mountains, often cited as one of the toughest in the world. The 135 here stands for 135 miles or roughly 217 kilometers. Krishnamoorthy completed the distance in 48 hours and 5 minutes and 26 seconds, well within the 60-hour cutoff. Despite the extreme fatigue associated with 200-plus kilometers of mountain running, she maintained a remarkably positive headspace. “I didn’t feel like giving up even at one moment,” said Krishnamoorthy in a conversation with The Bridge. “There was never a feeling of giving up because I was enjoying the run so much and the route was beautiful, it was super scenic. I wanted it so bad that I don’t think it ever occurred to me that this is something I want …

Behold, the black Apple Watch Ultra 2 is 0 off during Black Friday

Behold, the black Apple Watch Ultra 2 is $200 off during Black Friday

Last year, I wrote that you do not need a black Apple Watch Ultra 2. It was simply a color refresh, I said. The original Apple Watch Ultra on your wrist was still perfectly fine. The landfills of the world were better off without Apple’s first-gen ruggedized smartwatch filling it. Also, suggesting that you spend another $800 just because it looked sick as hell (I mean, looketh at these photos) isn’t great advice. I still stand by that statement. But, but, but!!! If, you have been good and resisted for this long, I feel both guilty and obligated to let you know the black Ultra 2 is $200 off, listed for $600 at Amazon and Best Buy during Black Friday. And that’s a better value proposition now compared to back then for a few reasons. For starters — the Ultra 3 is very nice but also the upgrades are extremely minor. You get satellite messaging for emergencies (only helpful if you frequently go off-grid or have crap connectivity where you live) and slightly better battery. …
