Couple of Semiconductor Engineers from Bengaluru, wanted to do something different, build a processor chip that wouldn't use
- "ARM Architecture Chips" (used by Apple, Qualcomm, Samsung) &
- "x86 Architecture Chips" (used by Intel, AMD, Meta, Google) in computer processing.
The reason why our personal computers are so costly are because both the ARM & x86 Chips are highly licenced and involves massive royalties to be used by any small scale player.
For their EdgeAI Processing they start to build a small form factor device that used
- "RISC-V Architecture Chip" (developed by University of Berkley & open sourced for the good of mankind)
Priyank Kharge, the IT Minister who always has an open eye for any new technology that solves real-life problem, is immediately impressed by the efforts of these engineers, his vision then takes it a step above, gets involved in design & real-life form factor of the device.
& that was how the "World's Most Affordable AI PC & Made in Karnataka - KEO" was born.
For Context, Govt of Karnataka pays 300+ Crores an year as licensing fees to Microsoft, because they run only on x86 Arch Chips.
KEO
- built on Free & Open Source RISC-V Chip, (instead of high cost x86/ARM Chips)
- runs on Free & Open Source Linux Ubuntu, (instead of high license cost of Windows)
- features Free & Open Source Libre Office (instead of high licence cost of MS Office)
KEO was subjected to rigorous testing by Scientists at IISC, IIIT, who passed it with flying colours.
This single device, revolutionises the access to computing, acting as a game changer in providing access to AI Computing to Rural & Poor Kids.
Priyank didn't really stop there, he ensured the production price of the product is kept below INR 18,999. Despite the global increase in RAM Costs. Gets an NGO to purchase 2,000+ Devices & get them distributed to thousands of government schools across the state. And all of this happened under past one year.
Those 2 engineers, who wanted to challenge the monopoly, may have actually broken it today.
These are the success stories that are born when you elect good & intelligent people to power.
No minister in India can say that they have taken a step towards democratising access to computing at grassroots. But, only @PriyankKharge can.
Because, he did & has delivered.

Forest Department Submits Arms, Deer Meat as Evidence in Chamarajanagar Shootout
Chamarajanagar, Karnataka
In a major development in the probe into the controversial forest shootout in #Chamarajanagar district that left three alleged #poachers dead, the #Forest Department has submitted arms and #wildlife meat as evidence to investigators.
Officials confirmed that two rifles and two bags containing #deer meat, reportedly seized from the site of the encounter, have been handed over. Photographs also depict seized items including a head torch, pellets, a knife and suspected drug powder.
The incident, which has already triggered widespread protests in Hanur taluk, remains under close scrutiny as forensic and medical examinations are expected to determine whether the department’s claims of illegal hunting hold ground.
#TamilNadu Chief Minister #Vijay condemned the killings, urging a free and fair enquiry. The #Karnataka government has ordered a magisterial probe to establish the truth.
While forest officials maintain the deceased were poachers, families allege they had gone into the forest on the evening of August 14 to search for missing cattle and were killed in a “fake encounter”on August 15.The case continues to stir political and public debate, with demands for accountability and justice intensifying across the region.

Chamarajanagar
Amidst the continuous protests by villagers against the killing of three residents in #Chamarajanagar whom the Karnataka #Forest Department has branded as poachers, #TamilNadu Chief Minister #Vijay has stepped in to support the deceased and strongly condemned the incident.
Expressing deep distress over the deaths of three #Tamils
Anthony Samy, John Rose Peter and Kumar, all hailing from villages in Hanur taluk of Chamarajanagar district ,CM Vijay described the shootout as a “brutal killing” and categorically rejected the Forest Department’s justification as “completely unacceptable.”
In a sharply worded statement, the Chief Minister demanded swift justice through a fair and impartial probe. He called for the immediate constitution of a high-level inquiry committee and insisted that personnel found guilty must face strict punishment. CM Vijay also urged the #Karnataka Government to extend financial assistance and support to the bereaved families, while pressing for concrete measures to ensure such tragedies are never repeated.

Kannadigas must stand by Kannadiga forest officials
The dumeel sob story doesn't deserve any traction it is getting.
We shouldn't let our own forest rangers be disgraced for carrying out their duty

The govt has a well-established playbook for dealing with popular anger.
First, black out the protest while it is happening (it helps to have the visual media under its thumb). Then broadcast carefully selected clips: any violence by protesters is isolated and endlessly replayed while violence by the state disappears from the frame.
Next, bring in “influencers” to muddy the waters. Follow up with ad hominem attacks and straw men: the protesters are anti-national, externally funded, agents of chaos determined to obstruct the nation’s progress.
If the Opposition remains silent, ask why. If it joins the protest, accuse it of exploiting the movement for political ends.
The purpose is to shift the discourse, step by deliberate step, away from the grievance that brought people onto the streets. Soon, no one is asking why students are protesting. Everyone is arguing about Rahul Gandhi, security protocols and the motivations of the protestors.
We watched this playbook unfold during the anti-CAA/NRC protests. We are watching the rerun now.

What went wrong for England?
You score a goal at the 55th minute and decide to park the bus for the next 40 minutes against this Argentine attack and Lionel Messi? Who made this brain-dead call?
Argentina attacked relentlessly and could have easily scored 3 more goals on another night in those last 15 minutes.
Talk about chickening out when sh!t got serious. Those were embarrassing tactics from England.

Kannadiga Justice M. Nagaprasanna is one of the most humane and intelligent judges currently in India.
Hope he makes up to higher echelons of the judiciary in India.
India badly needs such judges.
🚨 Brutal Reality Check: Breakup = Entire Family Destroyed by False Case?
Justice M. Nagaprasanna just dropped a nuke on the Karnataka High Court.
A 20-year-old engineering student in a consensual relationship (chats, travels, the whole mutual history documented) breaks up with the girl. (himself not even 21 and legally consent to promise for marriage)
What does girl do?
Slaps Section 69 BNS — “sex by deceit/false promise of marriage” — and drags the entire family into the FIR like it’s a mafia raid:
• Parents
• Sisters
• Uncles
• Cousins
• Even random outsiders
No rhyme. No reason. Just pure revenge using the criminal justice system as a personal vendetta tool.
The judge didn’t hold back: This isn’t justice.
This is weaponizing a private adult relationship gone sour to destroy an entire household. A consensual affair doesn’t magically become “rape by promise” the moment feelings get hurt.
This is the modern Indian marriage trap in full display — one breakup, one complaint, and multiple innocent lives ruined.
Young men are walking into relationships with a loaded gun pointed at their entire bloodline.
The system doesn’t just allow false cases. It rewards them.
When will we stop pretending this is “women’s safety” and call it what it is — legal terrorism?

Look at the data for the countries with the highest average lifespan, look at their average height, and look at the average meat/protein consumption. Look China and Korea’s data and how they increased their national average height recently.
