Prior to the start of the World Cup in Qatar, the Frenchman sustained an injury in training which ruled him out for the entirety of the tournament. He is currently recovering, and is expected to be fit in time for his move to London next summer.
Chelsea are currently in a very difficult position upfront, having lost Armando Broja for the rest of the season due to an ACL injury. They have agreed the signing of Datro Fofana during the January transfer window, but will only be getting Christopher Nkunku at the end of the campaign.
Which means a change in their attacking fortunes will need to wait for at least six more months. And it now remains to be seen when the move is announced, and whether they will sign another striker during the January window.
The smartphone giant has recently announced that it will be investing around 10 billion (yuan or dollars) into its subsidiary OnePlus alone in the next three years. This news comes just after Oppo INNO Day when a lot of new products, including the new Oppo foldable were unveiled by OnePlus’s founder and OPPO’s current chief product officer Pete Lau.
Why is OPPO investing up to 10 billion in OnePlus?
Now, to increase its faith in OnePlus, which is steadily growing, even after the big controversy of OPPOfying OnePlus, the parent brand will be investing close to 10 billion in OnePlus in the next three years. the major chunk of this investment will be going into the brand’s product development, as OnePlus is looking to diversify its portfolio both in terms of IoT products and smartphones.
Not only this, the recent statement from Oppo goes on to say that OPPO’s next resources will be greatly tilted towards OnePlus, this includes OPPO’s basic research and development, supply chain, and channels. So, the parent brand will help make OnePlus, which was known to be a more online player, will also be investing in offline channels and will be using OPPO’s resources including its R&D.
Well, if this is the case, we look forward to in the coming years while Oppo and OnePlus share their resources, they should be making more unique products individually which doesn’t look like sisters only. Developing OnePlus’s brand image and improving it with more products makes sense, now, how much this investment affects India will be a matter to keep a close eye on in the next few years.

Apple has collaborated with Google and Mozilla to create Speedometer 3, a browser speed benchmark. The partnership was revealed on Twitter by Apple’s WebKit team.
“We’re excited to work with @googlechrome and @firefox on the next Speedometer benchmark, which measures real-world browser performance on the Web. Working together will help us further improve the benchmark and improve browser performance for our users,” it tweeted.

Speedometer 3 is now in active development, and more details will be released shortly.
“Speedometer 3 is in active development and is unstable. You can follow along with development in this repository, but see Speedometer 2.1 for the latest stable version,” reads WebKit’s Github page.
Speedometer is a web browser benchmark that analyses the responsiveness of Web applications by measuring simulated user interactions on various workloads.
According to the firm, its primary goal is to make it as close to the real-world Web as feasible. When a browser improves its score on the benchmark, actual users should benefit, according to the business, and to do so, it should evaluate end-to-end user journeys rather than specific features in a tight loop.

Furthermore, it should change over time, regularly adapting to the current Web, and be accessible to the general public as well as beneficial to browser engineers.
Netflix has dropped the new trailer of the heist drama Kaleidoscope show. The new trailer has introduced the team along with the daunting job ahead of them. The unparallel show is based on a group of master thieves and their attempts to crack a seemingly unbreakable vault for an unprecedented payday.
Each episode contributes something different to the story, adding more background as viewers watch. The film reveals a web of corruption, greed, vengeance, scheming, loyalties, and betrayals slowly form as viewers piece together the plan, how the thieves executed it, and who among the group is acting in good faith.
The new trailer starts with a display of the thieves’ prowess as they set off a number of small explosives in trash cans in the city and rob a jewellery store. We can set a look at their aim for the most secure vault in the world that’s seemingly everything-proofed. Apart from the unfathomable score of around $7 billion, it’s stuck behind biometric scanners, an unassailable power supply, and a small army of armed guards with permission to employ lethal force.
Despite everything, these thieves are up to the task, but it’s more than just a simple heist for some of them. Having few glimpses of their pasts are shown, including that of the mastermind Leo Pap. He was part of a job with the vault’s owner, corporate security mogul Robert Salas when Salas left him for dead, made off with the cash, and “reformed” himself into a publicly trustworthy, manipulative corporate titan. Now, Leo wants to get revenge, and he has faith that this new crew, even with their own ambitions, will lead him straight to that payday.
Kaleidoscope is a bit of an experimental series for Netflix considering episodes can be watched in any order leading up to the epic conclusion with the heist itself. The story spans 25 years with individual episodes covering different periods within the thieves’ lives ranging from 24 years before the heist goes down to six months after. The trailer provides some indications as to how certain episodes play out like how the pasts of Salas and Pap connect, but the experience will be different depending on what order viewers watch them in.
“When you watch Kaleidoscope, all the information is there to be able to connect the dots and know the story,” executive producer Russell Fine said of the series to Tudum. Series creator Eric Garcia also emphasized how the viewing order can alter how characters are perceived, adding “Being able to enter into at different times, move around and watch in different orders gives you a different viewpoint on the characters.”
Kaleidoscope: Cast
Esposito plays a protagonist for once, leading a cast that features Tati Gabrielle, Paz Vega, Rosaline Elbay, Niousha Noor, John Hans Tester, Stacey Oristano, Jordan Mendoza, Soojeong Son, and Hemky Madera among others. Garcia also wrote, and executive produced Kaleidoscope. As incredible a concept as the series is, Garcia, based it on a real occurrence, though not necessarily a heist. He told Tudum:
It’s loosely based on something that might have happened. After Hurricane Sandy, 70 billion dollars worth of bonds got flooded in the basement of the DTCC, which is a large clearing effort that’s owned by a bunch of big banks. To my mind, I was like, ‘Well, that’s a perfect coverup for a heist!’
Kaleidoscope: Release Date
Netflix has confirmed that the Kaleidoscope will hit on 1st January 2022.
Croatia have earned third place in the 2022 World Cup, defeating Morocco 2-1 in the Third Place Playoffs. The 2018 runners-up were unable to make it to the finals, being eliminated by Argentina, but have finished in the top three for the second consecutive year.
Morocco, on the other hand, were hopeful of ending their campaign on a positive note following their miraculous run. But, missed opportunities prevented that from happening.
Croatia earn third place at 2022 World Cup
37-year-old Luka Modric led Croatia to a third place finish at the World Cup playing 656 out of a possible 690 minutes.
Croatia has three top-3 finishes since making their World Cup debut in 1998.
Remarkable for a country with a population of around 4 million.
Josko Gvardiol opened the scoring early in the game, after heading in a long ball from Ivan Perisic following a set-piece. However, their early lead did not last long, with Achraf Dari equalising only two minutes later.
Mislav Orsic proved to be the difference maker for Croatia, with a curling effort that beat Bono.
Morocco were able to create two great chances in the second half, but were unable to get the equaliser. En-Nesyri was first denied by Bono before hitting the ball over the post very late in the game.
The Atlas Lions have earned the best finish for themselves, and for an African team in the World Cup. On the other hand, Luka Modric earned a rather happy send off even though they were unable to reach the final.
According to Bleeping Computer, Microsoft this week removed a compatibility precaution that prevented the Windows 11 22H2 update from being installed on Nvidia GeForce-powered devices that were experiencing performance degradation concerns.
Microsoft began rolling out its Windows 11 22H2 update in early October, however, it was revealed in November that it caused sluggish and unsteady frame rates in games, lag, and significant CPU underutilization on Nvidia GeForce-based devices. As a result, the corporation put a stop to the upgrade.

Microsoft later stated that the speed degradation was most likely caused by some programs and games inadvertently activating GPU performance debugging options not intended for average customers.
It did not, however, explain why this occurred. It also suggested that games be updated. Meanwhile, in late September, Nvidia published a GeForce Experience upgrade that resolved the issue (albeit by a beta update).
“This issue was resolved in KB5020044 and the safeguard hold has been removed as of December 14, 2022,” a statement by Microsoft reads. “Please note, if there are no other safeguards that affect your device, it can take up to 48 hours before the update to Windows 11, version 22H2 is offered.”
toms hardware
When Microsoft learns that a Windows update is causing a problem on particular systems, it often prevents the update from being installed on impacted (and possibly affected) devices. After the issue is resolved, the software giant lifts the barrier and allows the owners of these PCs to install the Windows update.
According to Bleeping Computer, Microsoft inserted four more update blocks for Windows 11 version 22H2 since its release, but they have already been deleted. The update appears to have caused issues with Xbox Game Bar Capture, blue screens, printing, and Windows Hello.

The Core i9-13980HX, Intel’s fastest laptop CPU to date with 24 cores, will be revealed at CES 2023 as part of the Raptor Lake-HX series. So far, we have information on five Intel 13th Gen Raptor Lake-HX Laptop SKUs that were leaked a long ago.
The lineup was supposed to include up to a Core i9-13900HX with 24 cores, 32 threads, and clock rates of up to 5.4 GHz, but Intel has chosen to develop a ‘Halo’ SKU that will sit a tier above and deliver the highest performance of any laptop CPU on the market.
credit: wccftech
The Intel Core i9-13980HX is a beast of a CPU with 8 P-Cores based on the Raptor Cove architecture and 16 E-Cores based on the Gracemont architecture.
The entire setup features 24 cores and 32 threads, the same as the desktop Core i9-13900K. The CPU features the same 36 MB of L3 cache as the Core i9-12950HX/Core i9-12900HX CPUs and a maximum turbo frequency of up to 5.6 GHz, which is 600 MHz faster than the Core i9-12950HX/Core i9-12900HX CPUs.
In addition to the Raptor Lake-HX range, the normal Intel Raptor Lake-P series will contain the high-end Core i9-13900HK, which will lead the field with 14 cores (6+8 configuration), a total of 24 MB L3 cache, and clock speeds of up to 5.4 GHz. This CPU will also have a 400 MHz frequency increase over its predecessors from the 12th generation, such as the Core i9-12900HK.
credit: wccftech
Both high-end Intel Core i9 Raptor Lake Laptop lineups will feature flagship designs announced at CES 2023, as well as higher-end NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series graphics options. We may also anticipate the usage of premium cooling solutions on laptops, as CPUs with these specifications will run hotter and consume more power than conventional chips. The Raptor Lake-HX CPU family from Intel will compete directly with AMD’s Dragon Range Laptop CPU portfolio, which will likewise reuse desktop technology on laptops with up to 16 cores and 32 threads.
