Bundesliga is the first major football league to resume the Coronavirus hit 2019-20 season. The season will resume on 16th May. The games will be played with a gap of 2-3 days.
The DFL have announced that they will introduce the rule that was set by the International Football Association Board (IFAB) last week which allows teams to make more changes during a game. They will permit up to 5 substitutions per game.
This new rule will help in protecting players from the increased injury rate due to playing every 2-3 days. The clubs can rotate the players more often thus decreasing workload.
The DFL said in a statement posted on their official website: “With a view to the game operations in the current 2019/20 season, the clubs have decided that the replacement contingent will be increased to five players per team in one match.”
“From now on, each club will have a total of three opportunities to exchange players during a game, including the half-time break. The DFL ‘Football Commission’ recommends that a maximum of two players being substituted at the same time.”
There’s a huge hype around the world regarding the Bundesliga as it is the first and only league to resume after dealing with the Coronavirus pandemic. Hopefully, the glory days are back for the football fans.

When AMD launched the 7 nm Renoir APUs for laptops in CES 2020, we expected it to launch the APUs for desktop as well but it did not. Now, as the launch of Ryzen 4000 desktop processors approaches mostly likely we will witnessing next-gen Renoir desktop APUs.
Back in December 2019, a Ryzen 3 4200G APU was spotted on SiSoft Sandra OpenCL listing, now again @_rogame has discovered an 8 core APU named AMD Ryzen 7 4700G. It seems surprising but 8 core can be true because the die size has shrunk considerably with 7 nm process.
This time AMD will most likely have all the Ryzen 3, 5 and 7 offerings on the APU front, the aforementioned Ryzen 7 4700G has 8 cores and 16 threads. It was seen paired with Radeon RX 5700 XT on Ashes of the Singularity benchmark where it scored 6,400 points on low 1080p settings.
The test benchmark also had 16 GB RAM which helped it to attain an average framerate of 65.6 FPS. A Zen 2-based APU will boost high performance on both CPU and GPU front which might feature 8 compute units (CUs) but the clock speeds remain unknown but might be similar to that of the Ryzen 9 4900HS with 1,750 MHz GPU clock speed.
Most users will use the APUs independently without any discrete GPU and if 3 GB VRAM is allocated from the 16 GB RAM then we might expect smooth 1080p gaming performance overall. Well, the TDP seems unclear but can remain the same as 65 W because of its efficiency.
The Red team’s Ryzen 4000U mobile processor series is quite impressive with its amazing efficiency as well as performance both on the CPU and GPU front. Last month we had a leak of the alleged Ryzen 9 4900U featuring 8-cores and 16-threads on UserBenchmark.
It then had a base clock speed of 1.8 GHz and a boost of up to 2.35 GHz, now a new leak uncovered by @TUM_APISAK states that the APU is real and does have a base clock of 1.8 GHz along with 4.3 GHz which is 100 MHz higher than the Ryzen 7 4800U.
The APU runs on an “AMD Majolica-RN” motherboard insipte of running on an “AMD Ted3-RN” motherboard. There’s no solid details about the number GPU cores and the TDP which is expected to be 15 W.
As AMD has Ryzen 9 H-series and HS-series processors, it is very likely to see a Ryzen 9 4900U as well for higher-end slim notebooks. It might be in works for AMD and as now not many notebooks with Ryzen 4000U APUs are there in market, with days eventually, we could see the Ryzen 9 as well to counter Intel.
The report of April this year says Spotify leads the online music streaming market globally. Though area or country wise it can’t compete with the local platforms. Because the locals know the local interest more. But Spotify continuously trying to get into it. At least in India.
The global leader is taking the Old is Gold policy and brings the 70s and 80s Indian Oldies for you. Spotify signed a licensing deal with Saregama to make this move possible. Now, Spotify can add the retro playlists which cover songs of over 25 languages and from almost all fields.
More than 100,000 Indian retro songs are added to Spotify. The team is already engaged to categorize those songs as per almost all possible parameters link singers, actors, and more. This is to serve customers with quick access to their interests.
Mr. Paul Smith, the Director of Global Licensing of Spotify mentioned in an official statement, “Now, with the full Saregama catalogue available on Spotify India, our users will not only find their favorite retro music across local languages, but also be able to discover more old-school songs through Spotify’s locally curated playlists – both editorial and algorithmic,”
In short, Spotify is preparing itself to give a hard competition to our local online music streaming platforms like Gaana. Hope, the race will bring more benefits to the users.
Computer processors have become much faster these days and with huge demand in high performance CPUs, players like Intel and AMD are stepping up the competition with fast CPUs.
Recently, AMD’s Ryzen 3000 has shaken the CPU market totally both in 2019 and 2020, it now has more shares in the desktop CPU market than Intel, much due its advanced 7nm processors and their pricing.
Intel has also struck back with 10th Gen Intel desktop CPUs off late but it will be interesting to see if people go for Intel or remain loyal towards AMD. So, here are the top 10 best selling CPUs on Amazon as of 2020:
1. AMD Ryzen 7 3700X
Price: $294.14
The world’s most advanced processor in the desktop PC gaming segment
Can deliver ultra-fast 100+ FPS performance in the world’s most popular games
8 Cores and 16 processing threads bundled with the AMD Wraith Prism cooler with colour controlled LED support
4 4 GHz Max Boost unlocked for overclocking 36 MB of game Cache DDR4 3200 MHz system memory specification
For the advanced socket AM4 platform can support PCIe 4 0 on x570 motherboards
So these were the top 10 best selling CPUs on Amazon currently and you can get hold of them easily and build a new system or upgrade your existing one. Note that if you use an AM4 platform motherboard you can use AMD CPUs quite some time because of their prelonged commitement to this socket.
Intel CPUs here requires a new motherboard and soon 10th Gen Intel Comet Lake desktop processors will make its way into the market, so going for them will be a better idea for their increased performance at lower costs. Tell us which CPU you want
Back on December 28, Indian prime minister Mr. Narendra Modi met the top executives of Apple, Samsung, and Lava. Besides, on the first day of April this year, a scheme called Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) was notified. This scheme is to gear up our domestic activities over the electronic products as well as to attract tech giants towards our country.
As a result, expected, Apple probably is trying to shift its a fifth of production from China to India. As per Economictimes, several meetings between top-ranking government officials and senior executives of Apple are going on from the past few months. Because of the shift, the local manufacturing revenue may go up to around $40 billion in the next five years. And If everything goes fine, Apple will be the largest exporter in our country.
A senior government official said, “We expectApple to produce up to $40 billion worth of smartphones, mostly for exports through its contract manufacturers Wistron and Foxconn, availing the benefits under the production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme.”
Sad to inform, it seems the authority is facing some problem to take their steps. And that problem needs to be sorted out early. A person to ET said, “There are some problems with some of the clauses. For instance,valuing the entire plant and machineryalready in use in its plants across China and other places at 40% of that value and the extent of the business information sought under the scheme are some of the irritants.”
As per the PLI scheme I mentioned earlier, a company needs to manufacture phones worth $10 billion at least in phases between 2020 to 2025 to get the benefits. The Indian government expects to take the mobile export from $3 billion (2019-20) to $100 billion with the help of this PLI scheme.
Like other few countries, India also launched a contact tracing app called Aarogya Setu last month. This app launched on the 6th of April for both the Android and iOS platforms. It took only 13 days to cross 50 million downloads and in another 28 days, it crossed 100 million or 10 crore individual users.
The Indian government made this app available in eleven languages so that maximum Indians can use it and safety gets the priority, not the language. The Setu app contains a specially prepared set of questions. The analysis of the answers will help users to identify if his/her symptoms are of corona or not. Besides it also can warn if the user has any chance to get affected or not.
Rather than providing a set of questions, this app also tracks your location through Bluetooth and GPS. The intention is to notify the presence of any corona patient near you. Though some experts have enough doubt about the security of the stored location related data. The government doesn’t make this app as open-source for the same reason.
Last of all, the plan for this Aarogya Setu app was taken for the public safety and seems it is working well. So, obey the instructions given by the Health Ministry, get all the information from authorized sources in the Aarogya Setu app. Stay Home and Stay Safe.
Frenkie De Jong joined Barcelona for a reported €75million last year. He impressed in his last season as Ajax. He was a key member of the Ajax team which made a dream run to the Champions League semi-finals, beating the likes of Real Madrid and Barcelona.
De Jong didn’t have the same amount of influence on games at Barcelona as he did at Ajax. He has faced many criticisms at Camp Nou.
Former Barcelona player Ronald De Boer, who won the LaLiga title with Barcelona in 1998-99, believes De Jong has adapted well to life at Camp Nou. He insisted it is better comparing him to Busquets, who is regarded as arguably the finest holding midfielder of his generation. De Jong would be ‘a great successor to Busquets’.
De Boer told BarcaBlog: “People said he didn’t reach the level he reached with Ajax last season in Europe or with the national team. But not everyone can say that they play so many minutes with such a strong team, so I think he’s doing well.”
“You see how another young player like De Ligt had a harder time, while everyone thought he would play regularly from the start. He is doing very well when you consider that this is his first season.”
“If he’s going to play as a central midfielder, I’m sure he’ll be successful. He is a controller, you should not ask him to score 20 goals, he is not such a player.”
“I am sure he will be a great successor to Busquets in the future.”
De Jong has scored two goals in 37 games till now this season. It’s not about the number of goals he scores but it is about the influence he has on the midfield for Barcelona.
