Post-Diwali Delhi wakes to toxic firecracker smog

Description

New Delhi wakes up to toxic smog after Diwali revellers defied a firecracker ban and risked jail to celebrate the annual Hindu festival. According to international monitoring company IQAir, harmful PM 2.5 particles surged to 350 on the air quality index -- more than three times the reading a day earlier. The reading for the particulates -- so tiny they can penetrate deep into the lungs and enter the bloodstream -- is more than 23 times the recommended daily maximum set by the World Health Organization.

Qui peut accéder à votre TÉLÉPHONE après votre MORT ?

Organiser sa mort numérique devient essentiel : suppression de comptes, gestion des données sensibles, contrôle des photos, choix de ce qui survit après vous. Les plateformes conservent souvent vos données si rien n’est prévu. Intégrer ces décisions dans un testament limite les conflits, les accès non souhaités et l’usage post-mortem de vos informations. Entre effacement complet ou formes d’immortalité numérique rendues possibles par l’IA, votre héritage numérique dépend de ce que vous anticipez.
