Google is reworking which Gemini models are available on each of its plans.

Bengaluru Tenant Recovers Rs 2.6 Lakh Deposit From Landlord, Story Viral

A tenant in Bengaluru has gone viral on social media after successfully recovering their Rs 2.6 lakh security deposit following a dispute with the landlord. The tenant had rented a 3.5 BHK flat in a prime location for Rs 55,000 per month during the COVID-19 pandemic, but later found themselves in a conflict with the owner.

As employees returned to offices, the landlord decided to increase the tenant's rent to Rs 78,000. The user said the hike was steep but admitted that it was fine, as other landlords had done the same.

"I don't blame him, as the other owners in society did the same. So, I said I will leave with 45 days of notice as per our agreement," the tenant wrote in the r/LegalAdviceIndia subreddit, adding that the landlord's attitude changed in the aftermath.

One week before the last day, the landlord said he would deduct Rs 40,000 for painting, Rs 7,000 for washroom cleaning and the rest of the amount after analysing the damage. Three days before moving out, the deductions mounted as the landlord said he needed to deduct Rs 38,000 for wear and tear.

“At this point, I was sure he didn't want to return the security deposit but was building a document trail to fight a case if needed,” the tenant wrote.

The tenant reached out to the landlord 40 days after leaving the flat for the money, but to no avail. The constant deductions and delay in the payment tipped the tenant over the edge, who decided to take matters into their own hand.

The tenant researched the landlord's military background and approached the higher-ups, informing them that the ex-officer was misusing his position. Within days, the landlord returned the full amount without any deduction.

'Sweet revenge'

As the post went viral, a section of social media users lauded the tenant for getting his revenge, while others pointed out that landlords usurping deposits had become a routine occurrence in the city.

"Whoa, that's a sweet revenge. He will think twice the next time. Congratulations, man," said one user, while another added: "Why is Bangalore like this? People toil so hard for the money and these blokes thing they can get away with stealing."

A third commented: "Your post made my day. So happy for you. Also faced a similar incident and lost 60k security deposit to rental fraud. Your revenge is giving me a different level of satisfaction."

A fourth commented: "Made me happy that someone got justice! Legal route would have been so frustrating and with no guarantee of justice."

Harvard Astrophysicist Says He Found Alien Tech From A Meteor: Report

A Harvard University astrophysicist claims to have made a significant advancement in the quest for extraterrestrial life. Professor Avi Loeb thinks he may have discovered pieces of alien technology from a meteor that crashed in 2014 off the coast of Papua New Guinea. According to CBS News , Loeb and his team just brought the materials back to Harvard for analysis. The U.S. Space Command can confirm with almost near certainty, 99.999%, that it came from another solar system. The government gave Loeb a 10-kilometre (6.2-mile) radius of where it may have landed. "That is where the fireball took place, and the government detected it from the Department of Defence. It's a very big area, the size of Boston, so we wanted to pin it down," said Loeb. "We figured the distance of the fireball based on the time delay between the arrival of the blast wave, the boom of the explosion, and the light that arrived quickly." According to USA Today, the fragments the team uncov...
