Yann Sommer to join Bayern Munich – Done deal for €8 million

0

Yann Sommer is set to join Bayern Munich on a permanent transfer. Borussia Monchengladbach rejected four offers from the Bundesliga champions, and forced them to double their offer to sign the star goalkeeper. 

And now, a deal worth €8.5 million, which could go up to €10 million if Bayern win the Champions League – has been agreed between the two clubs. The transfer has been given the here we go signal by Fabrizio Romano, which means it is as good as done. 

Yann Sommer to join Bayern Munich on a permanent transfer 

Manuel Neuer, the Bayern Munich captain, is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering a broken leg in a skiing accident. As a result, it was necessary for the German side to invest in a suitable replacement. 

And after being linked with a switch to Bavaria for years on end, Yann Sommer is finally set to play for Bayern Munich once play resumes following their winter break

Personal terms for the transfer have been agreed and it seems only a matter of time before the move is made official. Borussia Monchengladbach have already confirmed that Sommer has missed training due to his transfer. And soon, we should be receiving an official confirmation from both clubs about the move. 

Recalling Alexander Nubel from Monaco was one of the other options that Bayern were exploring. But, they were unable to do so and have now acquired the target that they wanted for so long. 

Sommer has earned a reputation for being excellent between the sticks and has been very important for Gladbach in big games. He has also performed very well for the Swiss national team, and it will be interesting to see how he fares for an elite team like Bayern. 

Improved Laptops Display will make a big impact in 2023!

New CPUs and new graphics will be offered for laptops in 2023. Many people will receive brand-new touchpads, while a select few will also receive new fans and unique styluses. Some of the craziest, most fascinating, and most interesting upgrades are about to hit screens. Priorities have to be established before purchasing a high-end laptop display, especially for gaming. Either a high refresh rate or high resolution are options. OLED technology or a more reasonably priced gadget were both options.

This year, more laptops than ever before will have high refresh rates and high-resolution displays. These components will be integrated with functions that, in the past, were exclusive and specialized to laptops, like Mini LED. The price of many of these “jack of all trades” displays will be on the high side, but additional features in expensive devices frequently indicate that everyone will eventually see those features in less expensive products.

Improved Laptops Display in 2023!

This year, screens will be prominent in both physical and figurative senses. All laptops now have a 16:10 aspect ratio, which results in a taller device with more vertical screen space. It was then a move toward devices with larger screens. 15-inchers grow to be 16-inchers, and 17-inchers develop into very massive 18-inchers.

Several of the largest computers ever manufactured are anticipated in 2023, especially in the gaming market. The Blade 18, which is Razer’s largest Blade yet, was just unveiled. This year, 18-inch tablets are being offered by a number of companies besides Razer. Top-of-the-line 18-inch models from Alienware, Acer, and Asus will be available. Many well-known 15-inch laptops have been upgraded to 16:10 16-inch variants this year, notably the Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 and the Razer Blade 15.

lap2 Improved Laptops Display will make a big impact in 2023!

Since a few years ago, mini LED has been slowly making its way into laptops. However, it’s projected to take off into the elevated mainstream in 2023 because it’s making its debut in a number of well-known forthcoming gaming machines. Among the most anticipated arrivals in the 14-inch gaming market is Asus’ ROG Zephyrus G14, one of the big names.

lap3 Improved Laptops Display will make a big impact in 2023!

Mini LED displays use numerous groups of tiny diodes that can individually brighten or dim, as opposed to normal LCD panels, which use a single set of lights to show a picture. While Mini LED displays don’t nearly offer the same power savings and contrast as OLED displays, they can typically achieve a greater peak brightness and don’t frequently have the same burn-in and picture retention issues.

Since a few years ago, the laptop industry has been moving toward cost-effective OLED. In 2022, a few of the cheapest OLED machines ever released, including HP’s $819 Pavilion Plus and Asus’ $649 Vivobook Slate, were visible. This tendency is likely to persist in 2019. At CES this year, Asus, which has been all-in on OLED for a few years now, unveiled an almost bewildering assortment of OLED devices spanning categories and price points. It is anticipated to announce more at subsequent events.

lap4 Improved Laptops Display will make a big impact in 2023!

Other big manufacturers including Lenovo and Acer will continue to provide products that use the technology throughout. There will be a total of two OLED screens on Lenovo’s foldable Yoga Book. Choosing between a higher-resolution panel with a 1080p screen and a high 60Hz refresh rate has historically been a typical dilemma for gamers. In the top-end market, QHD panels with respectably high refresh rates will proliferate.

Uncoupled (Season 2): Netflix has Canceled the Renewal of the Series

Nell Patrick Harris comes with a new comedy show on Netflix was debuted in 2022 and got huge reviews, after several controversies, the show has not been renewed for the second season. The show reveals the actors returning to the format that just had made their career what it is today.  

In the new series just helmed by Jeffrey Richman and Darren Star, lately, we will see another behind Netflix juggernaut just like Emily in Paris.  Before everything, Star had become a popular face for making Sex and the city, Melrose Place, and Younger. 

We have the eight episodes included on Netflix on 29th July 2022 that followed a man who is just living in NYC for finding life after continuing a long-term relationship that has concluded suddenly.

 

Uncouples (Season 2): Renewal Status 

This January, all three major Hollywood trades declared that the show had been canceled. It makes Uncoupled the fifth major Netflix Original set to be canceled in 2023. On the cancelation coverage, Deadline has noted a plan to move the series to Showtime or another Paramount Global network, but those plans ultimately fell through. 

On the review side, the show had mostly favored by audiences and critics. The show currently holds a 77% critical rate on Rotten Tomatoes as there are 74% audience scores on RT, and IMDb gas 7.0/10. 

Week PeriodHours Viewed(M)RankWeek in Top 10
July 31st, 2022 to August 7th, 202226,520,00061

By providing a lukewarm performance of the series, we are assuming there is a 50% chance of the show’s future. The series holds one of the best opportunities for any of the recent crop of fledging comedy shows to get renewed which has given Netflix’s track record in the space. 

Uncouples (Season 2): Performance 

The series is unable to manage the chart in Netflix’s global top 10 hourly charts in the first three days on that platform. It’s true necessarily it will not be the end of the world, but demonstrating it would not hit the running ground. We think Uncoupled has required more than 20.17 million hours to chat between 25th July and 31st of July and beat up the second season of Stranger Things. 

The series will come to feature in the Netflix global top 10s just for a single week between the 31st of July and the 7th of August. The show picked up 26.52M hours and got the sixth position that week. In the next week, the show dropped out where it needed 18.07M hours for the rank. 

Uncoupled

The main feature of a show like this will undoubtedly have a completion stat as a reason Netflix measures the percentage of people who begin the show and continue to finish. The new show sating that many have been recognized as one of the most critical for the renewals 

The top 10 raw data provided by FlixPatrol looking to suggest that the series has such a familiar start buy had been dropped out from the top 10s after 2-3 weeks. We have a heart map that exposes where the show gets featured the most in the top 10s. We are expecting that the show did well in the anglosphere embedded for dew weeks in such places as the US, Canada, Ireland, the UK, and Australia. 

The latest TelevisionStars. Com grew to be the 6th most famous show in this world on 3rd August, and now partially gets declined since then. After a month, it dropped to #214 and suggesting that the show may not have the strength to stay. 

un3 Uncoupled (Season 2): Netflix has Canceled the Renewal of the Series

According to the British SVOD analytics company Digital I, they have suggested that Uncoupled has declared a 59% completion rate by using the data from their European panels. 

They have noted previously about the series under 50% typically not getting renewed. 

Uncouples (Season 2): Expectations 

At the end of the season, we have seen Michael head home to listen that Colin has actually become reconsidered getting split and arise all of such problems in the first place. Now, Will Michael has considered providing their 17-year-old relationship another shot. 

Stanley was recently diagnosed with stage one breast cancer, and continuing the treatment. The father of Kai is still keeping the big question mark as kay just ducked out of the meeting at the last minute. 

Darren Star told the outlet “That he anticipates plenty of friction in the writers’ room over how to proceed.”

Samsung to focus on ‘Ultra’ in 2023!

In a blog post that was just published by Samsung, TM Roh set the stage for the company’s first live launch event ever since the pandemic’s beginning on February 1. Roh doesn’t provide many specifics, but he does indicate that the smartphone camera system has been improved and that everyone should anticipate two new products that set the new premium benchmark for innovation.

Samsung to focus on 'Ultra' in 2023!

Looking between the lines, it appears that this refers to two new Ultra devices, similar to last year when enthusiasts received the huge Tab S8 Ultra tablet and Note-like S22 Ultra. It appears very likely that Samsung’s brand new 200-megapixel sensor will be used in the S23 Ultra based on this blog article, past leaks, and the company hint. A second periscope telephoto lens, a brighter display, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 processor are all suggested by leaks and rumors at least in the US.

2 55 Samsung to focus on 'Ultra' in 2023!

It is already considered that the mobile camera on the S22 Ultra is among the best of the previous year, so fans are eager to see how these camera enhancements turn out. The Galaxy Book is quite likely to be the other Ultra; Samsung’s online reservation site offers both Galaxy Smartphone and Galaxy Book options, or both if you’re a super-achiever.

3 47 Samsung to focus on 'Ultra' in 2023!

Samsung defines Ultra as huge, according to Roh: ‘Ultra implies big to Samsung. Extremely bold is the word ‘ultra’. Ultra refers to the very best in performance. However, perhaps in the upcoming generation, the colloquial meaning of Ultra will change to ‘has a stylus’. Given that the Note as well as its S Pen connection were swallowed by the S22 Ultra, it makes it logical for a Galaxy Book to bear the stylus connection through. Soon enough, all will become clear: on February 1st, pencils will be down as it is learned all there is to know about Samsung’s offerings.

MPL’s recent report says Uttar Pradesh emerges as the no.1 gaming destination

0

●       UP is joined by Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Bihar and West Bengal among the top five gaming states in India, according to a new study titled India Mobile Gaming Report 2022 by gaming platform Mobile Premier League 

●      Odisha, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Himachal Pradesh have seen the highest increase in mobile gamers in 2022 vs 2021

●      Ludo Dice, Snakes & Ladders, Carrom, Fruit Dart, Block Puzzle and Poker were some of the top games enjoyed by gamers across different Indian cities

Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Bihar and West Bengal have emerged as the top five states with the highest number of mobile gamers, according to a report called India Mobile Gaming Report (IMGR) 2022 released today by Mobile Premier League (MPL), a mobile esports and digital gaming platform. 

In Uttar Pradesh, Lucknow, Kanpur, Varanasi, Ghaziabad and Allahabad have the highest share of gamers. 36% of the total gamers in UP hail from these cities. This is the second year in a row that Lucknow has earned recognition for its gaming prowess—last year’s IMGR revealed that growth in Lucknow outpaced all metros.

Maharashtra, in the second spot, counts Pune as the number one gaming city. Pune registered 20% more gamers than Mumbai, which is placed second. Thane, Nagpur and Nashik are also in the top five.

In Rajasthan, capital city Jaipur leads the way, with over 200% more gamers than Jodhpur which is the second highest in the state. They are joined by cities like Udaipur, Alwar and Kota.

Bihar’s massive growth in gamers is fueled by mobile gaming’s popularity in the capital, Patna along with Muzaffarpur, Gaya, Darbhanga and Bhagalpur. The number of gamers in the capital city is more than twice the number of gamers in the rest of the four top cities combined.

The number five spot is West Bengal. Kolkata, Midnapore, Murshidabad, Howrah and Darjeeling are the biggest gaming cities in the state. Altogether they command over 30% of the state’s total mobile gaming population.

Tier 2 and 3 cities see massive growth

The report further highlighted that Odisha (55%), Punjab (53%), Tamil Nadu (42%), Puducherry (38%) and Himachal Pradesh (23%) saw the highest increase in mobile gamers in 2022 vs 2021. 

According to the report, tier 2 and 3 cities, which witnessed explosive growth in mobile gaming, among other internet leisure activities, have rapidly ascended to the top, unseating gaming hubs such as the metros cities like Mumbai and Bangalore. Unlike last year, which saw Delhi take the pole position in terms of user growth, metros don’t occupy any spot in the top 10 gaming cities on the list. This growth is a testament to the extensive popularity of mobile gaming beyond the big cities.

Odisha’s Bhubaneswar (with a growth of 1652%) saw a huge number of players taking to mobile games, along with other places like Cuttack, Dankuni, Bajitpur and Jajpur.

Punjab ranked second among cities that saw the highest increase in gamers, is home to Mohali which is the best-performing city in India, registering a whopping growth of 7130% in 2022 vs 2021 in mobile gamers. The administrative and commercial hub is joined by Malerkotla, Fazilka, Dinanagar, Beas, Shahkot and Samrala joined Mohali to record impressive growth in mobile gamers in 2022, according to the report.

Carrom, Fruit Dart, Ludo Dice, Snakes & Ladders, Block Puzzle and Poker were some of the top games enjoyed by gamers across different Indian cities as per IMGR 2022. 

Commenting on the report, Namratha Swamy, Country Head – India, MPL, said “The findings of the report show the love for online gaming in Indian cities and towns. Players from across the length and breadth of the country are taking to online mobile gaming with gusto. Enhanced internet penetration and the availability of safe esports and gaming platforms have worked wonders to contribute to this rise. As a responsible gaming platform, we will continue to enhance the quality of games that we offer and introduce more player-first initiatives to create a safe community of mobile gamers.”

Last year, India became the largest consumer of mobile games in the world, recording over 15 billion downloads, as per a report by Lumikai, a gaming-focused venture capital fund. India’s gaming market was worth $2.6 billion in FY 2022 and it will reach $8.6 billion by 2027 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27 per cent. The central government recently also proposed draft rules that will help provide further impetus to India’s gaming industry.

Twitter’s Revenue Falls by 40%

Twitter continues to be under pressure from advertisers, with the social media network suffering a 40% loss in revenue when over 500 customers suspended their expenditures, according to sources.

The tech blog Platformer reported that the firm’s daily revenue dropped 40% year over year, while the news website the Information claimed that its employees were informed that over 500 of Twitter’s top sponsors had stopped spending after Elon Musk acquired the company in October.

And over 90% of Twitter’s $5.1 billion in revenue in 2021 had come from advertising, but clients like Pfizer and Audi are among the companies who have hesitated after the Tesla CEO’s $44 billion or £35 billion buyout. Following the platform’s acquisition by a self-described ‘free speech absolutist’, worries about a surge in hate speech have led a large number of sponsors to pull out.

2 57 Twitter's Revenue Falls by 40%

They were particularly disturbed by a wave of fake accounts that proliferated on the website following a disastrous rollout of its blue tick program for verified users.

The Information stated that a top Twitter manager had informed colleagues on Tuesday that the earnings for that day were 40% less than they had been on the same day a year prior, providing more information on the 40% number.

The Financial Times stated that Twitter will soon have to start making payments on its over $13 billion in debt, and that Musk was examining options including selling additional Tesla stock or even declaring Twitter bankrupt.

3 48 Twitter's Revenue Falls by 40%

In order to help fund the social media deal, Musk sold stocks of Tesla last year for more than $20 billion. The firm should “roughly” reach cashflow break-even with cost-cutting measures, including the loss of more than 5,000 people, he stated in December, despite Twitter experiencing a “negative cashflow condition of $3bn a year.”

Additionally, he stated last month that Twitter was “no longer on the fast track to bankruptcy,” despite his warnings that it was in the immediate wake of his takeover.

Scotland Seeking Six Nations Consistency

0

A side that has shown they are capable of beating any side in the competition on their day, Scotland are desperately seeking consistency to challenge for a first ever rugby Six Nations title.

The last winners of rugby union’s Five Nations Championship back in 1999, the Scots are looking for the consistent levels of performance that could see them cause an upset in this year’s Six Nations.

Stars Capable Of Something Special

When it comes to individual talent, Scotland boasts a few of the top players in the northern hemisphere. The Scots, who are +2000 in the Six Nations betting to win the tournament this year, have one of the best fly-halves in world rugby in the form of Finn Russell. The Racing 92 star has the creative flair to unlock any defense and if he can find form and stay fit, it will give the Scots’ chances a significant boost. Scotland are +1800 in the Rugby Union betting to beat England, Wales and Ireland to claim the Triple Crown this year but they will need more than Russell to be able to get their hands on the trophy.

Exeter Chiefs full-back Stuart Hogg is another standout player in the Scotland back division. The former Glasgow Warriors star has been a mainstay in the No.15 jersey for Scotland and was previously captain of the side. Head coach Gregor Townsend decided to relieve Hogg of the armband and give it to Edinburgh flanker Jamie Ritchie last year. Without the distraction of the captaincy, Hogg can now fully focus on getting back to his best form. Some impressive performances last autumn could be a strong foundation for a positive Six Nations for the British & Irish Lions full-back.

Serious Competition This Season

The Six Nations is a brutal tournament when a side can go from title contenders to also-rans in the space of an afternoon. With just five games to play for each nation, every result is vital in the makeup of the final table. Without question, France are the deserved firm favorites going into the competition. Les Bleus managed to secure the Grand Slam last season and are also the favorites to win the World Cup which will be hosted in France later this year. With a powerful forward pack and a backline that boasts a world class scrum-half in Antoine Dupont, France will take some stopping to be denied the title.

Ireland will also fancy their chances of getting their hands on the Six Nations trophy for the first time since 2018. The Irish are a team blessed with a wealth of experience and picked up some big results in 2022. Winning a three-match Test series in New Zealand last summer was the highlight, while there were also victories against South Africa and Australia. Ireland certainly can’t be underestimated going into this year’s Six Nations.

Scotland have their work cut out for them if they are to finally get their hands on the Six Nations trophy for the first time in their history this year. However, if their key players find form and the side find that elusive level of consistency, they could be in with a chance.

Well, no one likes to start a new year by getting laid off, however, major tech giants like Twitter, Meta, HP, Amazon, and many more companies have been firing their employees. To make matters worse the software conglomerate Microsoft is also laying off employees and that news has made Twitter go crazy.

A lot of people are commenting on their views, making memes and also sharing about ones who have been sacked recently with #layoffs. Although layoffs have been going since 2022 the rate has suddenly been on a spike since the start of 2023 and reportedly a lot of experienced people are being sent off by their companies, especially by the giant tech companies.

However, Microsoft’s mass layoff (around 5% of the workforce) comes as a reason for the cost of the acquisition of ChatGPT, yes the AI tool that has been always in the headlines of late will be acquired by Microsoft for a huge $10 billion. So, here are some of the best tweets we found on Twitter with #layoffs:
