Microsoft planning a new ML/AI based approach for testing its update features

0

Windows is the dominating OS of home and office desktop. With Windows 10 being Microsofts preferred OS as of now, the Redmond-based giant is pushing its updates for the latest OS build to improve the user experience of its platform.

But there is one problem with every major update of Windows 10 since its initial release. The problem is that Windows 10 updates are as buggy as they come with every build introducing a new type of problem never faced before.

Though Microsoft is determined to fix these bugs with every other release, it just is a messy process to encounter and report bugs in the first place. Even the company itself thinks that its method to track and fix bugs is becoming a problem and is slowing being ineffective.

So, Microsoft is now developing a new AI/ML strategy that could reduce disruption for fixing updates.

The tech giant earlier relied on a wide group of testers to test Windows 10 feature updates on their real hardware.

But now, it seems, that the tech giant is shifting to testing based on machine learning.

According to sources, the Windows creator is now considering a new AI/ML model to test its popular windows drivers on hardware, software, and other driver combinations.

The new machine learning approach will allow Microsoft to identify problems with its drivers before rolling out updates. The company aims to add more hardware combinations to its machine learning and artificial intelligence-based test matrix.

Microsoft is already using its new machine learning approach to determine the release quality of its updates. But the company is now planning to add more hardware, driver, software combinations.

Based on the results from its ML/AI model along with increased hardware combinations, the company aims at solving potential problems with Windows 10 drivers before the updates hit our system and bug them.

CredR brings On Demand bike servicing facility to India

0

India’s largest used two-wheeler brand, CredR, launches its proprietary on-demand bike servicing app, CredR Care, in 4 cities. The app is available for all Android smartphone users in the cities of Delhi NCR, Jaipur, Pune, and Bangalore.

CredR is India’s leading used 2W brand and recently forayed into the on-demand doorstep servicing space. With the launch of the mobile application, users can book an appointment, pay online, view servicing history of their 2W, and also schedule future servicing for their 2Ws.

“CredR has sold over 3 lakh used two-wheelers in the last 5 years and is especially adept at refurbishing two-wheelers before selling them through our showrooms. Our inherent refurbishment capabilities made on-demand servicing a natural extension for the business,” said Sasidhar Nandigam, Chief Strategy Officer, CredR.

The automobile industry in India has come a long way. According to an Indian Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF) report, the two-wheeler segment, comprising scooters and bikes, holds 81% of the overall Indian automobile share. This segment is also reportedly growing at a CAGR of 9.48%. Though the numbers speak for themselves, the industry still lags behind when it comes to organised, online bike maintenance services. Bike owners still prefer using roadside garages to get their vehicles serviced – spending INR 200-400 in one go, wasting man hours and exposing themselves to contamination, especially in the context of the coronavirus pandemic. Additionally, consumers also complain of being cheated by unorganised players by using fake spare-parts and spurious oils in the servicing process.

CredR Care App allows users to book a two-wheeler servicing package from the comfort of their homes or offices, as per their bike make model and select from a range of convenient dates and time slots to schedule the doorstep servicing. It also solves the problem of two-wheeler consumers by providing total transparency in spares, accessories, consumables, and pricing. The servicing is done by trained auto experts while following all social distancing norms and sanitization protocols.

Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva thinks this Premier League season could be tighter and more competitive

0

Bernardo Silva believes that this season of the Premier League is set to be the most competitive ever, with many teams strengthening their squads to garner positive results,

Speaking in an interview, he is quoted as saying, “In the last few seasons, we saw that to become champions you needed to reach close to 100 points, I think the situation this season is going to be different. Because a lot of players didn’t have any rest during the summer, I think the competition is going to be more balanced, all the game.”

Bernardo Silva - Player profile 20/21 | Transfermarkt

Bernardo Silva does make a good point. After Matchday 5, it is not any of the Big Six sides that leads the competition but Everton who lead the way. Aston Villa are also closely following them and after so many years, could potentially have a great season ahead.

Considering how the lack of pre-season has seen clubs like United, City and Liverpool slip up, the extra streak of competitiveness has entered into the other good teams eyeing multiple objectives.

However, despite Everton and Villa currently in the lead, the season is long and so consistency factor will come into play as it elaborates. From that perspective, Bernardo Silva’s teammates at Man City will be eyeing a set of results and the belief that they can do it over and over again to claim back the PL title. 

Dominic Calvert-Lewin channels inner Cristiano Ronaldo to match incredible  Everton record set in 1938 against Liverpool

The last three seasons have seen teams achieve 90+ points in order to win the title. Particularly in the 2018/19 season, Man City needed 99 points to just about edge Liverpool with 98 to win the league.

But with the diversified results and quality of teams increasing, it seems like just about any club can beat any club on a particular given day. That only goes to show why the Premier League is the most physically gruelling but engaging league in the world. Players have to give no less than 100% if they are to celebrate successes and titles at the end of the season.

KL Rahul becomes the first Indian player in IPL history to score 500 runs in three consecutive seasons

Match 36 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) probably witnessed one of the best games of cricket in the history of the sport as Kings XI Punjab defeated the Mumbai Indians in the second super over of the game.

Mumbai Indians put up a challenging score of 176 runs on board. Kings XI Punjab paced it’s chase properly to score an exact 176 runs. Both the teams had a tie in the super over as well which lead to another super over. Finally, KXIP was able to get the better of it by winning the second super over.

Amidst such historical events, one impressive accomplishment was made which went a bit under the radar. KXIP skipper and current orange cap holder KL Rahul became the first Indian batsman to score 500 runs in three consecutive IPL seasons. He became the third overall to join the elite company of David Warner and Chris Gayle.

KL Rahul becomes the first Indian player in IPL history to score 500 runs in three consecutive seasons

The timeline of Mr. Consistent KL Rahul!

KL Rahul has been consistently performing and has been the lone warrior for KXIP. We take a look at his stats.

IPL 2018 – This was Rahul’s debut season for the KXIP. He scored 659 runs in 14 matches at an average of 54.91 with six half-centuries.

IPL 2019 – He pushed it a notch higher by scoring a century to go along with his six fifties as well. He scored 593 runs in 14 matches with an average of 53.90.

IPL 2020 – Rahul saved the best for last as he has already scored 525 runs in only nine innings at an average of 75. He has already scored one century and five half-centuries.

Interestingly, the afternoon match between the Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad ended in a super over as well. Kolkata Knight Riders were able to defeat the Sunrisers to take home two valuable points. Therefore, the Super Sunday featured 3 super overs in one day making it probably the best day of cricket in the history of the sport.

Google-Fitbit deal receives clearance from EU for now

1

Google is the world’s largest search engine and a leader in smartphone OS. It has expanded its business not just to search optimization but also to various other fields. Earlier, we discussed how Google is currently working on making YouTube, the world’s largest online video platform, into an e-commerce hub.

Today, we bring to you yet another update on the Android maker’s latest tech market venture.

We already know that Google has successfully taken over the leading fitness-monitor maker Fitbit Inc, with a whopping $2.1 billion takeover deal. This completes the successful footing of the search giant in the market of health and data devices.

However, this move of google has been met with several criticisms from other market leaders of health monitoring devices.

The competitors are not ready to allow such a tech giant to enter ad disrupt their business. But I mean, come on, it’s Google we are talking about. Do you think the people at Google are afraid of a few protests?

Well, it seems that Google’s entry into the health monitoring device market is on track for European Union approval despite protests from consumer groups and rivals about the search giant’s move into health data and devices.

The merger of Fitbit with google will most likely earn the Android maker global scrutiny from big tech giants worldwide.

On the other hand, Google might be facing a monopoly-abuse lawsuit from the U.S Justice Department real soon. This comes amidst congress preparing legislation to address the antitrust violations done by Google, Facebook, Apple, and Amazon.

The EU, however, had earlier announced that it would conduct a longer probe of the Fitbit-Google deal. This is to have a deeper look at how this deal might bolster Google’s “data advantage” in terms of online advertising. It also wants to verify how this deal would affect digital health care, and it would make third-party devices work with Google’s Android phone software more difficult.
