Nintendo Switch 2: Fans May Have to Wait Longer Than They Think

Sep 12, 2023

Nintendo Switch 2 is undoubtedly one of the products we’ve heard the most about lately. As the release date for the Japanese gaming giant’s eagerly anticipated second-generation handheld approaches, the number of leaks about it is also increasing. For example, we recently told you that Switch 2 could be more powerful than the Xbox Series S and would have DLSS technology. Now, the latest Nintendo Switch 2 rumors suggest a possible March 2024 event, sparking speculation about whether it’s a teaser, announcement, reveal, or release date. Here are the details…

Nintendo Switch 2 Release Date Could Be March 2024, But Is It a Teaser or a Reveal?

First of all, it is important to note that there is no official information about the release date of the Nintendo Switch 2. However, there have been some rumors and leaks. For example, it has been said that the console will be released in the first six months of 2024. However, there has been no concrete date. Fortunately, the latest leaks have changed that. According to the Nate the Hate podcast, which also features ModernVintageGamer, the handheld could be released as early as March 2024.

However, a report from Notebookcheck suggests that this may not be good news. The original Nintendo Switch was first teased under the codename “NX” in the spring of 2016. The official announcement followed in October of the same year, with additional details like price and specs landing in January 2017. Finally, the console saw its global release in March 2017. This suggests that what we might see in March 2024 could be a teaser for a console that won’t be released until months later. In fact, it could even launch in March 2025.

So, if we want to see the Switch 2 in March 2024, Nintendo will need to show something soon. Fortunately, there is a chance of this happening. One of the biggest gaming events in the world, Tokyo Game Show, will be held in September. Nintendo’s participation in the event is very important for one of the announcements mentioned above.

If the company shows the Switch 2 here, March 2024 could really be the release date. Of course, what I am saying now is just a guess based on the past. However, let us not forget that Nintendo is a Japanese company that is very attached to its traditions. This gives our guesses a very good chance. Still, we have no choice but to wait for now to learn all the truths.

Ant Group launches AntGuard, China’s first large model security solution

By

Sep 12, 2023

Ant Group has launched “AntGuard,” a significant development in addressing the security concerns tied to large AI models. This solution consists of two main parts: “AntScan 2.0” and “TianGuard,” with the aim of enhancing the trustworthiness and dependability of large AI models employed across different industries.

AntGuard: Enhancing Security for Large AI Models

The primary goal of AntGuard is to tackle security issues related to problematic training data, uncontrollable inference processes, and external malicious influences. It focuses on three essential areas: measuring large model security, intelligent risk management, and cleaning up data-related issues.

AntScan 2.0 acts as a security expert for large models. Before these models are put into action, it thoroughly checks them, identifying vulnerabilities across various aspects like data security, content security, and ethical considerations.

TianGuard, on the other hand, acts like a protective shield for large models. It uses smart risk control technology to protect models from harmful external queries and filters out potentially risky responses generated by these models. This approach ensures security throughout the entire process, from user inputs to the model’s outputs after deployment.

Moreover, Ant Group and TianGuard are dedicated to maintaining model security during both the training and application phases. They achieve this by implementing strategies like cleaning up problematic data sources, aligning training processes, and conducting research to improve model transparency.

Both AntScan 2.0 and TianGuard are now accessible to the public, providing a robust security framework for large-scale AI applications.

Apple renews 5G modem deal with Qualcomm

Sep 12, 2023

Apple has apparently extended its agreement with Qualcomm for modems. The renewed deal will have the latter continue to supply the former for another three years. This news is in contrast to our previous report that the brand will be shifting to its own 5G modems soon.

Apple 5G Modem Delayed

For those unaware, known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo had previously revealed that the Cupertino based giant is planning on shifting to its self developed 5G modems by 2025. However, the latest report from Bloomberg reveals that the proprietary modem isn’t ready for iPhones yet. Apple had acquired Intel’s modem unit in the past and has been working on its own 5G modem to move away from Qualcomm’s hardware.

The analyst added that the iPhone SE 4th Gen will be the first to feature the new modem, with its launch expected in the first quarter of 2025. But now, it seems like Apple will still be with Qualcomm till 2026 and rely on its modem. Since the iPhone 12, Qualcomm has been the sole supplier of Apple’s 5G modems. Apple is currently the chipmaking giant’s largest client, accounting for 22.3 percent of the orders.

In recent years, the iPhone maker has been working on becoming more self reliant. It is developing technology and components, which would have it reduce its dependency on third-party suppliers. At the moment, Qualcomm basically holds a monopoly for 5G modems, offering the most advanced modems for mobile devices. Top smartphone brands like Samsung also employ its modems for wireless networking.

Realme Buds T300 price & availability

The Realme Buds T300 is now available for a special price of ₹2,199 on Amazon India. The earbuds are also available on the Realme website for the same price.

Realme Buds T300 specs

The Realme Buds T300 earbuds come with 12.4mm speaker drivers and connect easily via Bluetooth 5.3. They are tough and can handle dust and water with their IP55 rating. Plus, you can control them by tapping on them.

These earbuds support different types of audio, including SBC and AAC. They also have Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) that can reduce unwanted sounds by up to 30 dB. They give you a 360° audio experience and have a low delay when you use them for things like games or videos.

In terms of battery life, these earbuds are quite impressive. Without using ANC, they can play music for up to 8 hours on one charge. If you use the charging case, they can last for a total of 40 hours. When you turn on ANC, the battery life is a bit shorter, with 6 hours of music and 30 hours with the case, which is still pretty good.

Huawei has recently launched the Huawei Mate X5 foldable phone and the Mate 60 series of flagship phones. What’s interesting about these models is that they are the first 5G-enabled Huawei phones after the US sanctions. Going forward, the brand is expected to launch more 5G-enabled smartphones across different price points in the market. Rumors are rife that the brand is now working on the Nova 12 series of smartphones. It is also being said that the Nova 12 could be equipped with a new Kirin chip.

The Nova 11 lineup, which was announced earlier this year, includes multiple models, such as the Nova 11i, Nova 11, Nova 11 Pro, and Nova 11 Ultra. While the Nova 11i features the Snapdragon 680 4G, the other models have the Snapdragon 778G 4G chip. It appears that the brand may switch to its in-house Kirin chips for the upcoming Nova 12 lineup.

Huawei Nova 12 to feature Kirin 830

According to a Chinese tipster, the upcoming Nova model (which is the Nova 12 series) will be equipped with the Kirin 830 chipset. The tipster claims that it will be similar to the Kirin 9000s chip but with fewer cores. He further said that the price of the Nova 12 series will be similar to the Nova 1 series. It will inherit some distinctive features that are available on the Mate 60 series flagship phones, which will be distributed across this new device. At present, there is no information available about the specifications of the Nova 12 lineup.

It is speculated that apart from the Nova 12 lineup, Huawei may also announce other devices, such as new MatePad tablets and a Pocket-series clamshell phone. These devices are also expected to feature Kirin chipsets.
