Chip shortage begins to strike the Automotive industry, likely to spread with time

Due to this sudden shortage of chips over the past few months, the gaming and computer industries and automobile industries are also highly suffering, and soon the home appliance manufacturing will be facing the same problem in just a matter of time.

At the beginning of 2021, we expect a consistent supply to ensure that enough supply is produced to satisfy the demand during the summer high, but it’s June now. Still, companies struggle to get their hands on a sufficient supply of chips which makes them unable to manufacture at full stretch to meet the supply demands.

Also with the upcoming big tech features set to release in the coming months along with the shopping season, it seems this is just the beginning of their troubles.

On-Chip Wizardry To Optimize Performance At Scale

Jahmy Hindman, chief technology officer at John Deere, stated on The Verge’s Decoder podcast “We had thought probably six or seven months ago, like everybody else, that it would be relatively short-term, but I think we’re into this for the next 12 to 18 months.”

Other than automobile manufacturing companies, tech companies such as Intel are also facing the same, and Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger also stated regarding the matter, saying, “This will take a while until people can put more capacity in the ground.”

Sony faces the same problem regarding their latest release of PS5, which is also America’s highest-selling gaming console; Sony CFO Hiroki Totoki also stated, “Even if we secure a lot more devices and produce many more units of the PlayStation 5 next year, our supply wouldn’t be able to catch up with demand.”

While chip manufacturing semiconductor industries such as Intel, TSMC and Samsung are heavily investing in expanding and improving their manufacturing processes, the problem still lies that it’ll take at least a year before any of that investment begin to bear fruits.

Yesterday, Microsoft finally unveiled the long-awaited Windows 11 and shown all the features of the new OS, that was fully leaked days ago. Nevertheless, the Store looks completely revamped from top to bottom to compete against the even more popular Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

The Redmond giant’s new Windows 11 will be a free upgrade for Windows 10 users, so you can expect a completely new look to the Store you have generally seen until now. So, the upgrade exhibits a new, lighter, as well as a potentially more navigable UI, looking far modern and intuitive.

Microsoft's new Store on Windows 11 looks visually intuitive

The store could eventually remind the design of the Apple App Store or even the Chrome Web Store; however, Microsoft has kept the Store’s theme in line with the whole UI. Also, the new version of the Store has been designed to cater to the app developers.

Not only that, Microsoft is even pushing developers to make apps for the new Store by introducing a new system by which developers who contribute apps to this renewed Store may get more attractive revenue shares using Microsoft’s commerce engine.

Microsoft even said the new Store was designed to deal with ‘technical and policy constraints built into the original foundations of the Store.’ In addition, the Redmond giant has taken some inspiration from various TV OSes out there because there will be a new form of content aggregation from the entertainment apps found on the platform.

Interestingly, users could install apps and even get special offers like movie discounts for Xbox Game Pass members, much like Google Play Rewards. In addition, there will be a bunch of new apps coming to the Microsoft Store, including Adobe Creative Cloud, Disney+, TikTok, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Visual Studio.

Even the app page of the Store has completely been revamped with a new look and helps focus on what are the main things associated with the app. You can also get information about top apps, games, and other curated stories, while there will also be a ‘pop up’ store that will help you install apps from the web.

John McAfee commits suicide in Barcelona prison: Reports

According to reports from ReutersEl MundoEl País, McAfee founder, John McAfee, was found dead in a Barcelona prison. The Spanish Department of Justice has stated that his death was most probably caused due to suicide.

Even McAfee’s lawyers have confirmed his death to The New York Times. One of his lawyers has even gone as far as to state that his demise was “the result of a cruel system that had no reason to keep this man in jail for so long.”

McAfee, who was being held in a Spanish prison since October 2020, was pending extradition to the US. He was facing several charges of tax evasion, and securities fraud related to his alleged cryptocurrency scheme. His extradition was approved by the Spanish courts this morning, with an opportunity for appeal.

McAfee’s life over the years!

McAfee’s life was always in the limelight! He’s released in which he un-installs McAfee Antivirus under the influence of drugs. He has claimed to have engineered a device that can block NSA surveillance. McAfee also ran for president of the United States twice, in 2016 and 2020! He also used $105,000 for a promotional tweet to boost cryptocurrency or initial coin offering.

McAfee also got into a feud with Intel when Intel renamed the McAfee antivirus as Intel Security. He sued them for trademark infringement. But this was later resolved in a settlement with Intel. McAfee has been always in the eyes of law enforcement for something or the other. In 2012, he was also arrested for drug and firearm charges. McAfee somehow managed to escape and was o the run later that year. He was also wanted by the Belize police for questioning in relation to his neighbor’s murder.

McAfee’s last years

McAfee was allegedly involved in multiple crimes other than murder. Even a Showtime documentary was made in 2016 to prove it. McAfee claimed to have over $200 million in judgments against him in other legal cases, which he refused to pay for.

Recently, McAfee claimed that he was on the run from the CIA. He also tweeted a picture of himself on a boat holding a gun. He had tweeted multiple times that he would never kill himself. These tweets have now led to conspiracy theories about his death. The US Department of Justice, however, refused to make any comment on the matter.

“Annette”: Amazon has released the trailer of new strange daughter film

Amazon Studios has dropped the trailer of a strange film named Annette. The story of this film revolves around the daughter of Adam Driver and Marion Cotillard, who is raising the daughter who has a mysterious destiny.

It seems that the French filmmaker Leos Carax has come back with his feature movie from the critically acclaimed 2012 film Holy Motors for this latest musical. The original story and the film’s music was written by Sparks Brothers, who is Ron Mael, and Russell Mael for this movie. It had been chosen as the Opening Night selection at the 2021 Cannas Film festival on 6th July.

Annette Trailer: Adam Driver, Marion Cotillard And Simon Helberg's Musical  Looks Fun But In A Twisted Kind Of A Way (Watch Video)

The trailer begins with Henry and Ann who are frolicking in the field. Henry is stating that the first time he fell in love he woke up next to the girl who escaped fast and far. It has been seen that Ann is eating an apple in bed when Henry is riding his motorcycle across Los Angeles. Ann is a very popular opera singer with Henry who is a stand-up comedian in Los Angeles and he has added that what he saw in her is actually what she sees in him which is a little more puzzling.

Henry, who is performing the role of a stand-up comedian with an incredible sense of humour, is observed to be performing on the stage before the birth of their daughter Annette. The doctor utilizes a large pair of scissors to clip the umbilical cord as the couple welcomes their first child.

The newborn was cradling with one arm by Henry when blowing cigarette smoke away from her in the background. The trailer shows many shots of Driver, Cotillard, and Simon Helberg, who performs the role of musical conductor known as The Conductor.

Then the popularity of Annette starts to rise beyond both Henry and Ann. The couple is literally seen running from a mob of fans. Some fans from the packed building say they love Annette after seeing the couple on a boat, and Ann replied that there is nothing that sacred you.

boAt Rockerz 650 with 60 hours battery life launching on 30th June

It seems boAt-lifestyle has lots of plans over this June and probably the next month as well. The reason is this company already lists so many products already. For example, boAt Airdopes 281 Pro which is currently in the pre-order phase and will launch on 26th June, new gaming headset series – boAt Immortal series with two headsets for now, and a new smartwatch boAt Watch Xtend – scheduled to drop on 1st July.

This product is not listed on boAt’s official website yet, but I hope it will be there as well before launch.

Specifications :-

Just like its other products, the upcoming boAt Rockers 650 also loaded with so many attractive features. The first one is up to 60 hours of battery life. It’s a massive backup you can expect from a wireless headset nowadays. As boAt mainly works in the budget segment, the cost of Rockerz 650 is also expected within reach. So, in the budget segment, 60 hours backup is cool. On top, there is fast charging tech. Just 10 minutes of charging can deliver up to 8 hours of backup. That means you can be with you on a full busy office day in return for just 10 minutes of charging.

Windows 11 Chat app allows to ping any Teams users without joining a Microsoft Account

A huge number of Windows users are excited to experience the newly launched Windows 11. Are you one of them? If yes, your communication process is going to be smoother than earlier. Along with multiple new additions and improvements, Microsoft is providing a pre-installed Windows 11 Chat app.

What you can do?

The Windows 11 Chat app is powered by Microsoft Teams and through it, you can use all the chatting features Teams has. You can directly contact your friends, family, and colleagues; and can send text messages, images, documents, and more. The video calling option is also available there. The most interesting thing is you need not to have a Microsoft account to use it.

Windows 11 Chat App - 2_TechnoSports.co.in
With whom?

You probably know Microsoft Teams is a cross-platform application. The platform could be Android, iOS, or anything else, the users are everywhere. Fortunately, after getting the Windows 11 update, you need no to bother about it. The Windows 11 Chap app will work seamlessly for any Teams users. And obviously, with the other Windows 11 users as well. There is a Meet Now button which is you invite the person you want to communicate with.

The new normal forced us to become more active on our computing devices than earlier. During work, most of us generally use a PC and during this time to communicate with someone else we always need to use some apps like Zoom, Teams itself, Meet, or even WhatsApp. For all these, we must have a prior account there. But new, post-releasing the Windows 11, the Chat app will be handier than all these as per my opinion. What are your thoughts?
