Feb 15, 2023

Microsoft has announced that it plans to activate its Unified Update Platform (UUP) for organizations that use on-premises tools to update Windows 11 clients as early as next month. This update will be available for organizations with Windows 11 version 22H2 clients managed using Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or Microsoft Configuration Manager. Here are the details…

Microsoft To Activate On-Premises UUP for Windows 11 Cumulative Updates Next Month

Microsoft has indicated that UUP on-premises distribution points will get subsequent downloads that will be “similar to what you’ve seen in the past.” The UUP on-premises update will bring several benefits to organizations, including up to 30% smaller client downloads for quality updates, cumulative update integration with feature updates, seamless retention of installed language packs and optional features (FOD) during feature updates, reduced client downloads for feature updates, automatic OS healing during the update process, and end-user acquisition of language packs and FOD.

However, organizations should be prepared for an initial hefty 10GB download to their server distribution points that will be coming with the March 28 update. This 10GB update, called a “foundation” by Microsoft, appears to be a one-time bandwidth hit for organizations. UUP on-premises distribution points will be the default and only way to download quality updates. Organizations that update Windows clients will want to prepare for UUP on premises to take advantage of the benefits mentioned above.

Feb 15, 2023

In the upcoming months, Sony will launch the WH-CH720N, its newest model of wireless headphones. These headphones are a brand-new addition to Sony’s already remarkable line of headphones and are ready to provide consumers with a superb audio experience and a variety of cutting-edge capabilities. The device will replace the current Sony WH-CH520N and make several upgrades in terms of specifications over the forerunner. The design of the latest model is lighter and comfier.

It has been previously rumoured that it will succeed the Sony WH-XB910N, but now it has been claimed untrue. The gadget will succeed the WH-CH520N. With extra padding around its earcups and under its headband than its predecessor, the WH-CH720N should be more pleasant to use. Additionally, the WH-CH720N weighs less than the WH-CH710N, which does, at 223 g. The WH-CH720N will weigh in just 192 g, or about a 16% weight reduction, according to MediaMarkt. But even with noise cancellation turned on, battery life is still 35 hours.

Additionally, Sony has improved the Bluetooth 5.0 connectivity of the headphones to Bluetooth 5.2, which integrates DSEE upscaling and Bluetooth Multipoint. For comparison, the latter enables you to concurrently connect the WH-CH720N to two devices. A release date was not provided by MediaMarkt, but given that the headphones appeared on a retailer’s website with official photographs and specifications, we believe Sony will soon announce them. According to MediaMarkt’s listings, the WH-CH520 and the WH-CH720N will be differentiated by €89, with the latter costing €149.

So that was all we had to cover up regarding the upcoming Sony WH-CH710N headphones. What are your thoughts on this? Do let us know by dropping a comment in your words down below. Thanks a lot for reading the post till the end.

According to the leaked images, the Xiaomi Pad 6 will come in a silver color that is commonly used in notebooks. The tablet’s rear camera module is similar to the Xiaomi 12, which suggests that it could be equipped with three cameras. The top camera is the largest, while the other two are smaller and almost the same size. These leaked images seem to be credible, and they provide a good idea of the tablet’s appearance.

In terms of specifications, the Pad 6 is rumored to feature an 11-12 inch full-screen display with a resolution of 2880×1800p and a 120Hz/144Hz refresh rate. The display will support Dolby Vision and HDR10+, providing an excellent visual experience for users.

ChatGPT’s Popularity May Lead to Another GPU Shortage

Feb 15, 2023

ChatGPT is taking the internet by storm. The artificial intelligence developed by OpenAI is currently the most advanced chatbot in the world. While many people are enjoying this marvel of technology for free, its unexpected side effects are already starting to appear. According to the latest reports, ChatGPT might bring about another GPU shortage. Here are the details…

ChatGPT might bring about another GPU shortage – sooner than you might expect

OpenA reportedly uses 10,000 Nvidia GPUs to train the ChatGPT to produce interesting and quirky responses. With tech giants like Microsoft and Google eager to integrate AI into their own services, it is estimated that Google alone would need 4,102,568 Nvidia A100 GPUs, which could cost the company a whopping $100 billion.

This high demand for GPUs to train AI models could lead to a shortage of graphics cards. Th last one caused by high demand from crypto-mining. The GPU shortage will probably only affect Nvidia card sales since they have the most advanced AI cores on the market. However, other companies like AMD and Intel see the high demand and potential profit. They may push harder to match Nvidia in the AI arena.

If Nvidia shifts more attention toward the AI, it could leave an opening for AMD to fill up the gaming market. A shortage of Nvidia GPUs could push gamers towards AMD. Still, if Nvidia does commit to producing more GPUs for AI training purposes, expect graphics card prices to rise again.

This could lead to frustration for gamers, and could also impact other industries that rely on GPUs, such as research and development, animation, and video editing. Therefore, if you have a graphics card that you are considering buying, if you expect the prices to drop even more, you may want to hurry up.

RoadRunner Pro Electric Scooter With Dual 2,000W Motors, Disc Brakes Unveiled

By

Feb 15, 2023

VoroMotors have unveiled a new version of the RoadRunner electric scooter. The RoadRunner Pro is the culmination of some serious improvements on the initial model. The RoadRunner Pro can reach a speed of 51mph (82km/h).

The RoadRunner was a seated e-scooter that has a top speed of 34mph (~55km/h) but looked almost like a toy. The RoadRunner Pro is an enhanced version of the RoadRunner. Its looks, like its predecessor, belie its capacity. It is a significantly upgraded version of the Emove RoadRunner but retains some features. It still has an all-wheel drive but with dual 2,000W motors. The two motors help to generate the power that yields the top speed of 51mph. The 14-inch wheels, however, seem not to be large enough for a rider to move at such high speed.

The RoadRunner Pro has a pair of dual-piston hydraulic disc brakes and offers solid control when you want to stop. It also has a dual suspension system, with a hydraulic suspension fork at the front and dual coilover shocks at the rear. The rear suspension system is a key upgrade over the Emove RoadRunner.

The RoadRunner Pro comes with a bigger battery than its predecessor. It has a 60V/ 30Ah that offers 1,800Wh of power. The battery uses the 21700-format battery cells and gives the RoadRunner Pro a range of about 80km. The battery capacity of the e-scooter is among the highest in the class of light electric scooters. An updated twist throttle and a new full-color TFT VoroMotors display are also present in the new e-scooter. The rider can view the battery status, speed, temperature, ride mode, and other ride parameters on the 3.5-inch TFT display.

The 14-inch tubeless pneumatic tires of the RoadRunner Pro are more effective than the traditional bicycle or scooter wheels. This means that the RoadRunner Pro e-scooter requires less maintenance and provides an overall improved user experience. The e-scooter has a more comfortable and larger saddle, wrapped in wear-resistant and heat-resistant material. The scooter weighs 52 kg which is not the lightest but still good.

The RoadRunner Pro is now on sale and retails for $2,895. VoroMotors say the affordable price of the RoadRunner Pro was due to the company’s ability to self-develop the scooter. The model is expected to catch the attention of the market quickly due to its impressive parameters and decent price.

Tesla EVs May use ChatGPT in Future says Analyst

By

Joane

-

Feb 15, 2023

Experts say that Tesla may collaborate with OpenAI in the future to integrate ChatGPT into its EV fleet. Tesla founder and CEO, Elon Musk is also the founder and backer of the American AI startup OpenAI which created the bot ChatGPT.

In 2015 Elon Musk along with other famous entrepreneurs and investors like Sam Altman, Redi Hoffman, and Peter Thiel founded the startup OpenAI in San Francisco. The founders collectively pledged $1 billion to OpenAI with the intention of creating and developing advanced Artificial Intelligence that would be useful to mankind.

In 2018, Musk resigned from the board of OpenAI due to disagreements between the founders over the development of the company. However, Musk still remains a donor and backer of the startup and has strong relations and influence within the company.

Tech analysts are predicting a very strong chance of Tesla including ChatGPT in its system of EVs. Edward Sanchez, senior automotive analyst at TechInsights said that it is not inconceivable that Tesla and OpenAI would have some form of collaboration at some point in the foreseeable future as Musk has close ties with OpenAI’s executive team, which will make it easier to strike a potential deal.

He further added that Tesla is way ahead of the industry in over-the-air updates so if they feel there is enough consumer demand for a ChatGPT service in its cars, similar to Apple’s Siri, it may want to push the service in its next update.

How will Tesla integrate ChatGPT in its EVs?

ChatGPT (Chat Generative Pre-trained Transformer) is the most famous and fastest-growing app in human history. It is an advanced Chatbot developed by the American AI company OpenAI. It is designed to mimic a human speaker and is currently using both supervised and reinforcement learning techniques. Since its launch in November 2022, the application has been a game changer for the AI and technology industries.

Chat GPT uses a particular technique called Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), which uses human feedback in the training loop to minimize harmful, untruthful, and biased outputs. To successfully carry out human-level conversations and tasks, the app needs to process high volumes of data in seconds. This means it needs a very powerful computer that can process tons of data in seconds. If Tesla wants to integrate ChatGPT in an EV, then it will need a supercomputer that can process, analyze and compute millions of data and provide accurate feedback in seconds to the driver.

For any other automotive company, ChatGPT integration may be difficult unless they can find a supercomputer or alternative solutions for data processing. But Tesla already has the resources and technical know-how to successfully integrate ChatGPT into its EVs.

In 2021, Tesla unveiled its custom-made supercomputer Dojo. Dojo is an AI neural network training supercomputer, specially designed for AI machine learning and video training using the Tesla EV data. The ultimate goal for Dojo is to reach fully autonomous driving capabilities. With the Dojo supercomputer, it is possible that Tesla may collaborate with OpenAI and integrate ChatGPT-related services into its future EVs.

The Samsung Galaxy S23 series was recently unveiled at the Unpacked event. Undoubtedly, the most striking model among them was the Galaxy S23 Ultra. The phone, which stands out with its performance and capabilities, has also earned the right to be the flagship of Android. So, could the S23 Ultra, perhaps the best Android phone in existence, rival the iPhone 14 Pro? Here are the details…

Apple iPhone 14 Pro Takes Lead over Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

The Galaxy S23 Ultra uses a custom overclocked Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC developed in partnership with Qualcomm and Samsung. Additionally, due to the size of the phone, it has more assertive cooling solutions. However, despite being newer and having these features, the S23 Ultra is not able to beat the iPhone 14 Pro. According to CompareDial’s Geekbench test (assuming Geekbench 5), the iPhone 14 Pro outperformed the Galaxy S23 Ultra by 21.02%.

iPhone 14 Pro vs Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra

In the single-core performance test, the iPhone 14 Pro received a score of 1,874, while the Galaxy S23 Ultra received only a score of 1,480. The iPhone 14 Pro outperformed the Galaxy S23 Ultra by 21.02%. However, when it came to multi-core tests, the gap narrowed to 14.86%. The iPhone 14 Pro maintained its lead with a score of 5,384, while the Galaxy S23 Ultra received a score of 4,584. Interestingly, in terms of single-core performance, the older iPhone 14 with the A15 Bionic and a 5-core GPU outperforms the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.

Apple’s success with A-series processors was not a secret anyway. Similar results were obtained in a test conducted last year, and the iPhone 13, which came with the A15, had better scores than the Galaxy S22. In fact, according to the single-core score, the iPhone 13 performs better than the S23 series. However, these tests do not mean that one device is necessarily worse than the other.

Real life use cases are much more important than synthetic testing. Not many of us even manage to push the limits of a mid-range phone. While this shows us how far mobile technologies have come, it reminds us that these tests do not reflect real life. At the end of the day, whether you choose the iPhone 14 Pro or the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, both phones are great options.

Sony has just released a new video in which it tears down the upcoming PlayStation VR 2 system. The VR headset and its Sense controllers can be seen being taken apart revealing their internal layout and functions. So let’s have a look.

In the official teardown video, we can see that the Japanese tech giant’s Sense controllers are equipped with IR LEDs. The orb shaped controller houses a ring of 14 IR LEDs and three that are placed in the other areas for better tracking. According to Takeshi Igarashi, DualSense controller designer, “These infrared lights are used by the VR headset’s tracking camera to detect the controller’s position and orientation”.

He further explained in the video that “The LEDs have been placed in optimal locations to ensure they are accurately detected no matter what direction the controller is facing,” and that the cover on the controllers are also made of material that ” transmits the infrared light emitted internally to track the movement of the controller.” The video also shows the five capacitive touch sensors on the controller.

Breaking down the headset itself, we get a glimpse of the inside of the headset. This also reveals what it looks like when you turn the adjustment dial. Sony also added that one should not try teardown by yourself. The company stated that taking apart the headset or controllers will invalidate the warranty. The PS VR2 is set to launch on 22nd February 2023.
