ZTE Corporation recently held a showcase during the MWC event in Shanghai. During this conference, the company showcased cutting-edge technology and computing infrastructure that will back the growing computing demands for complex machine learning-based models like ChatGPT.

ZTE unveils new intelligent computing infrastructure at MWC

The Chinese telecommunications giant announced a new type of intelligent computing infrastructure at the 10th MWC event in Shanghai. This system was built specifically to meet the growing demands for complex computing models. These are typically large-scale models and also aim at generative AI-based businesses as well. With the explosive roll out of ChatGPT, there has been a massive digital transformation and advancement in AI technology.

ZTE’s infrastructure will seek to meet the requirements for these complex deep learning models that deal with massive data volumes and consume vast resources. Due to the vast growth of AI-based businesses, there has been a surge in demand for capable servers and the even storage market, which require high standards of stability, reliability, and performance. For this, ZTE has unveiled a new series of server solutions that support GPUs and liquid cooling.

Meaning, it supports large-scale applications despite running on exceptionally low power consumption. One of these new servers includes the R6500G5 GPU series that can house up to 20 GPUs. The company even plans to release a new R6900G5 GPU training server as well by the end of this year. Alongside these, ZTE will even offer options in the field of storage and networking to basically become an integrated solution provider of intelligent computing infrastructure.

[Update: Also bricking phones] PUBG New State is here, but its unplayable right now

Sean — Thu, 11 Nov 2021 10:29:01 +0000

Earlier today (11th November 2021), PUBG: New State had finally launched after being teased months prior. However, while the launch was highly anticipated, it might have been a bit rushed by Krafton as the game seems unplayable at the moment.

A number of mobile gamers keen on getting in early on the fast paced and modern setting of the title were disappointed to find that they are unable to play the game. While the issue isn’t universal, various users have complained about the new game. During launch, many games see day one patch updates that fix server issues or other problems and it seems that the New State isn’t any different. Being unable to connect to the server is one of the most common issue as of right now.

Notably, the issue was even acknowledged by the game’s official Twitter account that assured that it is “looking into resolving this issue swiftly.” We can expect the server issue to be fixed by the end of the day but there are also other problems that seems more complicated. As per the official “Known Issues” list shared on PUBG New State’s official website, some Xiaomi smartphones are unable to run the game entirely.

In other words, some Xiaomi users cannot boot the game and are even shown an error that redirects them to a webpage. This site answers some FAQs related to the game crashing. It even adds that “You have been disconnected from the game due to abnormal behavior.” The issues don’t end there as those that managed to get into the game are facing unresponsive controls, random server lags, unresponsive UI, and much more. Keep in mind, its still day 1, and we can expect fixes to be one their way.

Alright.#PUBGNEWSTATE has bricked my device already.
Those on Android 12, be a bit careful I'd say.

— Mukul Sharma (@stufflistings) November 11, 2021

Update: We advise that you stay clear of the game for now since reports have surfaced of the game bricking smartphones. Mukul Sharma (@stufflistings) has just tweeted that the game bricked his Android 12 device, while other gamers also took to Twitter to share a similar incident. 91Mobiles downloaded the game on a couple of smartphones as well, with varying degrees of damage. One handset was soft bricked with possibility for recovery while another has been hard bricked.

Huawei in talks to sell its server business due to US trade restrictions: Report

Sean — Wed, 03 Nov 2021 10:04:20 +0000

Huawei Technologies is reportedly seeking to sell its key server business. The company is trying to sell its server division as it fails to acquire chips for the unit due to the US trade restrictions.

According to a Bloomberg report, sources close to the matter revealed that the Chinese tech giant is in advanced talks to sell its server business based on the x86 architecture. The company had sourced its chips from Intel, but due to the trade restrictions, it is now unable to receive chip supply from the chipmaker. For those unaware, Huawei was placed on the US Entity List and was also labelled as a national security threat back in 2019.

Since then, the brand had faced further crackdowns by the US government and even had further restrictions placed on it that cut off its chip supply from TSMC. This caused its smartphone business to decline significantly since it couldn’t build its own chips or source them from other chipmakers. The Chinese telecommunications equipment maker is now apparently planning on selling its server unit to a consortium that includes “at least one government backed buyer,” as per the sources.

Unfortunately, the exact details of this deal like its valuation is currently unknown. But it is likely to be worth billions of Yuan. Furthermore, sources said that several new buyers have surfaced in the recent months, including buyers from the government and the private sectors. Although, Huawei has declined to comment on the matter, while the potential buyers have yet to respond for any comments.

UPDATE:

Whatsapp, Instagram, and Facebook services are back online after nearly 6 hours of outage. An exact reason for the outage is yet to be revealed.

Original story as follows..

If you noticed that your last sent Whatsapp message is still not seen by anyone, or if your thinking that your Instagram or Facebook isn’t loading. Well, do not run towards your Wi-Fi or go over your ISP. Apparently, Facebook-owned Whatsapp, Instagram, and even Facebook itself have gone down.

The servers for these apps are down globally for hours leaving no space for social nesting. That said, netizens took Twitter by storm, as it was the only major social media app working. The entire Twitter trends across the world are nothing but hashtags and memes about Facebook, Whatsapp, and servers being down.

We’re aware that some people are experiencing issues with WhatsApp at the moment. We’re working to get things back to normal and will send an update here as soon as possible.

Thanks for your patience!

— WhatsApp (@WhatsApp) October 4, 2021

Taking it into consideration, Facebook-owned Whatsapp finally gave a clarification by stating, “We’re aware that some people are experiencing issues with Whatsapp at the moment. We’re working to get things back to normal and will send an update here as soon as possible.”

Similarly, the company shared such tweets from all of its accounts considering the global server crash of these social media apps.

Facebook’s Workplace and internal site are also having DNS issues

Notably, Instagram showed a 5xx server error message, while other apps aren’t simply loading. According to @wongmjane, Facebook’s internal sites are also affected by this outage. However, logins via game applications are still working.

As of now, there’s no clarification on what’s causing the problem. But, we expect Facebook to reveal the exact issue and make the app operational soon.
