Huawei Mate Xs 2 details

It’s noteworthy that this would be the first foldable phone to support satellite short message communication.

By enabling users to share their location with friends or local authorities when there is no network service, the capability will be used in emergency scenarios. And it will only function in China, similar to the Huawei Mate Xs 2 50 series. You won’t be able to receive messages; you can only send outbound communications.

However, Huawei is aiming to deliver two-way satellite communication via SMS and voice conversations in the future.

I-League 2022-23 season starts 12th November 2022; Home-Away format returns

The 2022-23 I-League season will kick off on November 12 at Malappuram, Kerala, the All India Football Federation (AIFF) said on Tuesday. In the opening match, defending champions Gokulam Kerala FC will face last season’s runners-up Mohammedan Sporting.

I-League 2022-23 fixtures released eleven days ahead of first match

With the COVID restrictions lifted, all the 12 clubs are set to play in as many as 13 venues across the country. The last two seasons saw the league being played from within the confines of the bio bubble, as all the matches were played in Kolkata, Kalyani and Naihati in West Bengal. 

The return to the traditional format means each team will play the other twice, once at home and once away. There will be no bio-bubbles and teams will be free to move around. After all the league matches are over, the table topper will be declared the winner while the bottom two teams will be relegated to the 2nd tier of the I-League.

“There’s a lot of excitement around this season’s I-League, with the league set to be held in the home and away format once again. We have taken great care to ensure that around 80 per cent of the matches will be played under floodlights, and that goes to show how much development most of these venues have gone through,” said AIFF Secretary General Dr. Shaji Prabhakaran.

Gokulam Kerala will play six of their home matches at the Payannad Stadium while the other five will be played at the EMS Stadium in Kozhikode, where they have already been playing in previous campaigns. The Bakshi Stadium in Srinagar, will also make its I-League debut, with Real Kashmir FC shifting to the venue from February onwards. The Deccan Arena in Hyderabad and the Chhatrasal Stadium in New Delhi will be the other two debuting venues in the league this season for Sreenidi Deccan FC and Sudeva Delhi FC, respectively. Over in Delhi, the historic Ambedkar Stadium will play host to Rajasthan United FC.

Amongst the other clubs, Mohammedan Sporting will operate from the Kishore Bharati Krirangan, Kolkata, Churchill Brothers FC Goa from the Bambolim Stadium, Goa, Aizawl FC from the Rajiv Gandhi Stadium, Aizawl, RoundGlass Punjab from the Tau Devi Lal Stadium, in Panchkhula, while Imphal clubs NEROCA FC and TRAU FC will operate out of the Khuman Lampak Stadium.

Gokulam Kerala FC will enter the season as two-time reigning champions and are chasing a historic hattrick. No team in Indian football history has won the I-League thrice in-a-row. Kolkata giants East Bengal are the only other club to win back-to-back domestic titles, then known as the National Football League (NFL), in 2002-03 and 2003-04.

Apple iPhone SE 2023 Display Is Yet To Be Confirmed, Could Have 5.7-Inch Or 6.1-Inch Display

0

Apple is yet to finalise the display size of its upcoming fourth generation iPhone SE 4, according to analyst Ross Young. The tech giant is considering a number of options regarding the display’s size and material, reports MacRumors.

The iPhone maker is mulling 5.7 to 6.1-inch LCDs, as well as, 6.1-inch OLED displays from two suppliers. It is still unclear if the company will choose a 5.7-inch or 6.1-inch display, and whether that display would employ OLED technology or LCD technology.

Apple iPhone SE 2023 Display Is Yet To Be Confirmed, Could Have 5.7-Inch Or 6.1-Inch Display

Apple undecided on iPhone SE 4 display ahead of 2024 launch

Apple is still umming and ahhing over the display it’s going to use in its next affordable smartphone, the iPhone SE 4, which will launch in 2024. Adopting the former for the iPhone SE 4 would be a major display upgrade for a series that has thus far used sub-5-inch LCD panels. It would also run counter to the general consensus that has built up around the iPhone SE 4, suggesting that it’ll see the iPhone XR used as its base.

The iPhone XR employed a 6.1-inch LCD when it was launched back in 2018. Switching up to a 6.1-inch OLED would essentially see Apple’s affordable phone range matching the mainstream iPhone 14, at least in terms of screen technology.

Apple iPhone SE 2023 Display Is Yet To Be Confirmed, Could Have 5.7-Inch Or 6.1-Inch Display

Keeping the screen closer to the 5.7-inch mark is more likely to appease old school iPhone users who prefer a compact screen, too. Assuming those iPhone XR rumours are correct, the iPhone SE 4 will be the first in the series to ditch the Home button in favour of a Face ID notch.

To produce the less expensive iPhone SE model, Apple liked to modify the hardware from previous models slightly. The original model from 2016 modified the hardware from the iPhone 5S from 2013. Another possibility is that the company will embed Touch ID in the Power button, similar to the iPad Air and iPad mini 6. However, it is too early to draw final conclusions since the iPhone SE 4 is slated to release in 2024.

Norton Report Reveals: 40% of Indians surveyed have been targeted by a scam when shopping online during the festive season

  • Over 4 in 5 Indian adults surveyed (85%) admit to risking their personal information or privacy in several ways during the festive season
  • 74% of Indian adults surveyed say that spending time online via their connected devices helps their mental well-being during the holiday season

Norton, a global leader in consumer Cyber Safety, today published Indian findings from a global study conducted online in August 2022 among 1,001 Indian adults aged 18+ by The Harris Poll on behalf of NortonLifeLock that explored attitudes towards Cyber Safety and online shopping during the festive season. The report highlights the importance of taking precautions with your personal information online. The findings reveal that all (100%) of those planning to shop during the 2022 festive season expect to do so online, with 61% saying that they expect to do more than half of their festive season shopping online.

The festive season is often a time when many people buy gifts for their family and friends. This holiday season, Indian adults surveyed expect tech-based gifts including smartphones (64%), smart watches (55%), and smart home devices (47%) to be the most sought out gifts. Though only a small minority of adults in India surveyed(8%) plan to buy fewer technology gifts this festive season compared to years past, over 4 in 5 of those planning to buy less tech gifts (84%) say this is due to concerns of rising costs of living and inflation. To help with inflation/the rising cost of living, most Indians surveyed (91%) are likely to take cost cutting measures of some kind this festive season,  which for some includes clicking on a questionable link offering them a good deal on technology products (36%) or a reduced energy bill (29%).

Norton Report Reveals: 40% of Indians surveyed have been targeted by a scam when shopping online during the festive season

 “Festivals bring friends and family together. Recently, there has been an increase in the number of online shoppers, and with that the rise in online shopping scams, gift card frauds, postal delivery frauds. Our Norton report also suggests that many Indian adults surveyed  who have fallen victim and been defrauded while online shopping have been impacted financially and have lost money as a result, their average loss of those surveyed being INR 6216. While some consumers are not strangers to threats and are taking preventative measures to protect themselves online, there is always room for improvement.,” said Ritesh Chopra, Norton Director India and SAARC Countries at NortonLifeLock. He adds, “We at Norton are dedicated to protecting people’s data and devices and understanding their concern when online shopping.”

• Unintentionally receiving a counterfeit version of a gift (76%)

• A device they buy for someone else being digitally unsafe (75%)

• Their holiday travel arrangements or accommodations being ruined by a scammer (73%)

• Buying or receiving a refurbished device as a gift (72%)

• A device they receive as a gift being hacked (69%)

Spending time online offers an escape for many Indian adults during the festive season. Most Indian adults surveyed (78%) agree that spending time online via their connected devices helps them feel more connected during the festive season, and 74% say that it helps their mental well-being.

Footballers that are expected to miss the 2022 Qatar World Cup due to injuries

0

With only one month until the FIFA World Cup 2022, injuries are a major concern for each of the competing countries. While clubs make it a point to avoid overusing their players during this time, injuries are scarcely something that can be controlled by humans. Any injury is regrettable, but it’s even more regrettable when it causes a player to miss a major competition like the World Cup.

Here is the list of footballers that are expected to miss the 2022 Qatar World Cup due to injuries is listed below:

Reece James

The England fullback footballer suffered an injury during his team Chelsea’s Uefa Champions League match against AC Milan, making him a serious doubt for the competition.

The quick full-back is a crucial component of Gareth Southgate’s team, so it would be a setback for the Three Lions if he were to miss the World Cup flight. James cannot be completely ruled out for now, but his odds of making it to Qatar are slim.

Kalvin Phillips

An English footballer who will almost certainly miss the World Cup flight The Manchester City midfielder missed the significant occasion last month due to a damaged shoulder.

Paul Pogba

Pogba’s ineligibility for the French team is undoubtedly a setback for the defending champions. Pogba, who scored in the World Cup final of 2018, hasn’t played since joining Juventus again this summer after knee surgery.

N’Golo Kante

Kante, a defensive midfielder for Les Blues, will unquestionably miss the World Cup, dealing another severe blow to the team. The Chelsea footballer’s absence could go up to two months due to the recurrence of a hamstring injury. The French team as a whole will undoubtedly feel discouraged without Pogba and Kante.

Diogo Jota

Jota has been declared ineligible for the World Cup. The Liverpool forward was examined by the team’s medical staff after suffering an injury during Liverpool and Man City’s Premier League match last week. According to official sources, the Portuguese striker will require a lengthy recovery period and won’t travel to Qatar next month.

Marco Reus

Marco Reus suffered a heartbreaking injury in yet another World Cup. The stalwart of Dortmund injured his ankle ligament last month and is not likely to travel with Germany’s World Cup team.

Georginio Wijnaldum

When Wijnaldum was playing for AS Roma in the Serie A, his right leg sustained a fractured tibia. The Dutch footballer, who plays a crucial role for his country, is currently expected to miss the World Cup. A severe setback for Oranje.

Paulo Dybala

During a Serie A match between Roma and Lecce, Argentine forward Paulo Dybala was substituted due to what appeared to be a muscular injury.

The serious injury, according to Roma manager Jose Mourinho, would make it challenging for Dybala to make a comeback before 2023. The 28-year-old footballer is in a race against time to be ready for Qatar after reports that he tore his quadriceps muscle quickly surfaced.

Ronald Araujo

Ronald Arajo, a defender for Uruguay, suffered thigh tendon injuries in September during his team’s 1-0 loss to Iran. The Barcelona footballer had surgery in Finland and is now starting to recover. However, it appears improbable that he will start for his nation in this World Cup.

Angel di Maria

Another star footballer who is hindered by a thigh ailment is Argentine winger Angel Di Maria. The Juventus player suffered a setback during a defeat to Maccabi Haifa in the Champions League, but he is anticipated to return in early November and may even make it to the World Cup.

Kyle Walker

British right-back In Manchester City’s 6-3 thrashing of Manchester United, Kyle Walker sustained a groin injury. However, the 32-year-old has stated that he is optimistic about his ability to regain his fitness in time to travel with England to Qatar.

Raul Jimenez

Raul Jimenez of Mexico has not competed for club or country since August 31 due to a groin injury. Gerardo Martino, head coach of the national team, stated during the most recent international break that the Wolves forward, who had recently recovered from a head injury, would not be used until the very last second.

Alexander Isak

Alexander Isak, a 23-year-old striker from Sweden, is the most recent athlete whose participation in Qatar has been called into question.

It was discovered that the Newcastle attacker had aggravated a thigh issue that he had developed when working out with his national squad during the September international break. Isak won’t play for Newcastle this season again, according to Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, because of the setback.

Twitter might attract more Gen-Z users after Elon Musk takes the helm

0

Elon Musk, the co-founder of Tesla Inc, is expected to add a new group of users to Twitter as a result of his $44 billion acquisition of the microblogging service, according to brand marketers.

Musk is essentially the face of Web3.0 and the new decentralized world, which appeals to GenZ, or those born between the middle of the 1990s and the beginning of 2010. After stagnating for years, the company’s user base will get a boost, and more marketers will swarm to the platform, they claimed.

Twitter

“This change in ownership will attract a whole new set of users – mainly people who look up to Musk – who were earlier not on the platform, making it more attractive for advertisers,” said Mitesh Kothari, co-founder of White Rivers Media, a brand and digital agency.

In a poll of chief marketing officers from GenZ-focused firms done by its research lab, WRM GenZ lab, Kothari discovered that these brands were now more inclined to view Twitter as a more serious competitor for their ad spending.

Brands from the banking and financial services, retail, and consumer goods industries made up the majority of this. A midlife facelift for the company, Twitter is one of the more established social media sites whose growth in new users has been progressively declining.

According to brand strategist Harish Bijoor, the microblogging platform might experience a comeback as a result of Musk’s takeover. According to Musk, he plans to reinstate the accounts that the previous management had blocked for propagating false information.

“Twitter has been around for a very long time – it is many generations old in social media terms,” he said. “Social media gets excited by Musk, and this will rub off on the platform in terms of renewed interest and new users.”

Musk has frequently claimed that Twitter may serve as the internet’s equivalent of a public plaza where everyone can speak. This does not imply that there would be no rules. While the prior management’s tactic of removing contentious accounts will be gone, some kind of content moderation is likely to continue.

In comparison to Meta, Facebook, and Instagram, Twitter has thus far had difficulty monetizing the platform. Marketers claim that while advertisers currently appear to be waiting to see what changes Musk would do, they now appear to be more interested in Twitter than in the past.

NVIDIA 150V cables are a fire hazard for GeForce RTX 4090 GPU

0

There have been numerous findings since the first instance of an NVIDIA 16-pin connector melting on a GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card was reported. It appears that GamersNexus and Igor’s Lab have resolved the problems some days after they were initially brought to their attention.

The PC IT community is working hard to identify the true cause of the 16-pin connector difficulties while NVIDIA and its AIB partners try to fix them. In the previous report, we learned that the melting was unquestionably caused by the adapter and not the card or the card’s connector. When appropriate contact was not made or if the cable was overbent, the 16-pin connector became extremely hot. This resulted in the cable receiving an excessive amount of current, which in turn raised the temperature to the point where melting took place.

While the cables themselves are the problem, Steve Burke of GamersNexus has since revealed that not all cords can result in the scorching or melting of the card. The tech outlet noticed that all of their cables had the label “300V 14AWG,” but the wires that Igor had displayed were only rated for 150V. What a significant difference. Not only that, but the solder used to connect the two cables varied.

Because both outlets tore the connection off, it was discovered that the 300V cables employ high-quality soldering whereas the 150V cables have independent cable lines that are soldered with smaller soldering surfaces, which might cause damage when bent. This must account for the cable coming out of Igor’s casing unfastened. Through a series of endurance and durability testing, the cable utilized by Steve (GamersNexus) and Ronaldo (TecLab) was able to withstand torture. GamersNexus and TecLab ran the wire under strain for hours on end as well.

GamersNexus’ NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 graphics cards ran continuously for more than 48 hours, whereas TecLab’s 16-pin adapter cable was subjected to a constant 1530W load in a load tester. 

As a result, we may infer that the problem is simply being caused by faulty cables, however, the reason why they exist in the first place is a mystery that can only be solved by NVIDIA and its AIBs.

Unless you slightly loosen the sleeve, you have no way of knowing which cable you will receive. If you received a 150V 16-pin cable, you can request a replacement from the manufacturer for a 300V cable if necessary. The fact that the 150V 16-pin cable wasn’t sent to many people is a plus. Even if there have only been 20 complaints of the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card melting, there are still enough of them to raise suspicions. According to surveys by HardwareLuxx and GamersNexus, less than 7% of users appear to have received the 150V adaptor.

Indian government to soon finalize semiconductor fab proposals

0

According to reports, the Centre has formed three subcommittees to assess the multibillion-dollar proposals received as part of its ambitious India Semiconductor Mission (ISM) and hopes to accept the first applications “soon.”

Five consortiums that sought incentives under the ISM’s $10 billion package—including Vedanta-Foxconn, Next Orbit Ventures-Tower Semiconductor (now acquired by Intel), and Rajesh Exports—are seeking official approval to establish semiconductor fabrication plants.

Members of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and the Industrial Finance Corporation of India (IFCI), according to sources familiar with the situation, are a part of one of the subcommittees that will thrash out the ideas.

According to them, three domain experts have been selected for the third subcommittee, which was formed from the ISM’s 21-member expert group and a second committee made up of members of the National Investment and Infrastructure Fund (NIIF).

The committees are rating the proposals based on a variety of factors, such as the partners’ financial capacity, technical proficiency, and viability.

The government is carefully assessing the proposals on all fronts because these are “multi-billion dollar projects and will mean big incentives from the Centre as well as states, the government is very carefully evaluating the proposals on all aspects,” according to the sources. “Ultimately, we have to ensure that the applicants have made all the arrangements. The Cabinet has to be convinced about their viability but before that, it has to be convinced about all aspects,” an official said.

The Center’s push for semiconductor production comes amid supply chain problems on a worldwide scale that are fueling demand for new fab units, as well as for strategic and national security concerns. It had previously stated that applications for ISM incentives will be approved by October.

The third subcommittee’s recommendations and those of the 21-member expert group will subsequently be presented to the government for approval by the cabinet.

The government established a 21-person expert group for the ISM in April, with the MeitY secretary serving as a convener, IT minister Vaishnaw serving as chairman, and Rajeev Chandrasekhar serving as vice-chairperson.

Vinod Dham, the creator of the Intel Pentium and an investor in startups, Ajit Manocha, the head of the US industry group SEMI, and Neelkanth Mishra from Credit Suisse are a few examples of the industry experts on the panel.

For India to become a significant center for semiconductor production, a few issues must be resolved, according to Muthukrishnan Chinnasamy, CEO of Semiconductor Fabless Accelerator Lab (SFAL). Due to the delicate and sophisticated nature of the production process, industrial plants may require regular supplies of electricity and water. Companies must collaborate effectively in terms of technology, strategy, and customer devotion.

To continually innovate in a market that is expanding swiftly, Chinnasamy continued, Indian government organizations and private firms may “need to invest billions of dollars” over an extended period.
