Adnan Januzaj joins Istanbul Basaksehir on loan until June 2023

0

Adnan Januzaj has joined Turkish club Istanbul Basaksehir on a loan move until the end of the season. The transfer window in Turkey is open until February 8, with players across Europe still able to seal a move. 

He made only six appearances for Sevilla this season, and following the arrival of Bryan Gil from Tottenham, he has fallen further down the pecking order. As a result, Januzaj has moved on in search of more playing time which he wouldn’t have had under Jorge Sampaoli. 

Adnan Januzaj signs for Istanbul Basaksehir 

Januzaj played for Manchester United a decade ago under David Moyes. However, he wasn’t able to reach his full potential and went on to leave the club. He was able to revive his career playing for Real Sociedad a couple of seasons ago, before eventually making the move to Sevilla. 

But with the departure of Julen Lopetegui, things have not worked out for the Belgian at his new club. And now, the hope is that Adnan Januzaj will be able to perform better in Turkey. However, with three years still left on his contract with Sevilla, he could be set for a permanent departure in the summer. 

The Basque side have had a very poor season so far, and they are only a couple of points away from the relegation zone. From being regulars in Europe to fighting to stay up, things have taken a dramatic turn for the club.

Outer Banks (Season 3): Expectations 

It has been confirmed that if this series has been continued then there are plenty of twists and turns as they have now come to accustomed to the first 20 episodes. Now we will like to recap season 2. In the second season, we have seen the war between the Camerons and the Pogues just likely to continue with the Pope likely desiring to retrieve the now-stolen golden cross. 

The second season is based on the Pogues which is a tight-knit group of local youngers on the beach of the titular North Carolina vacation spot. In the first season, it depicts that they had just escaped from near death, and Sarah and John B are on the run and also in over their heads in the Bahamas. As they are turned and looking for the gold when the skates of the three means Kiara, Pope, and JJ have to escalate at home. It would be informed that the $400 million is still in this game and also would be the uncovering of a secret reunion of the group for the fresh mission or not.  

In the context of the second season, the creators and executive producers Joans Pate, Josh Pate, and also Shanon Burke told in their joint statement that they have turned up the dial on everything that fans have appreciated for the first season. In this, it is contained with more mystery, more romance, and also higher stakes. There is no doubt that it is a full action-packed adventure and all the images have offered a glimpse of the next chapter for the Pogues. We can say that it is now just buckled up and going to be a wild ride. Netflix also has dropped several images of the first look. 

John Big said, “ John B’s relationship with his dad is a huge theme, and having his dad back around and eventually they are going to meet back up and John B has to reconcile his idealized version of the dead with the reality of his alive dad. It gives us a lot of thematic father-son stuff to work with.” 

It seems that Jonas Pate and Shanon Burke also have said that when the Pogues are down they are certainly not out suggesting they will be straight back on to the hunt for gold. 

In terms of the romantic situation in the third season, Madelyn  Cline  told top ET that we will   hopefully get to learn about their marriage more and tell: 

“It’d be really fun in Season 3 if we get one to see them actually start to truly get to know each other in a very real sense. They are married, but they actually kind of do not know a whole lot about each other. I feel like that would be really fun. They are obviously been through a lot together.” 

Now Chase Stokes also teased to Elite daily that the latest season also would have a “vibe shift” in season 3 by saying,” The writers really like to keep us on our toes, and also I think that creates performances that catch you ui9n the moment…I’ve no idea what’s going on past what we have shot on Barbados” and also added,” I think a lot of loose ends are going to get tied up. A lot of questions will be answered. And per usual, these kids are going to get out rough the wringer.” 

Outer Banks (Season 3): Release Date 

After several rumors, Outer Banks Season 3 has confirmed the release date of the gorgeous third season on 23rd February 2023. 

Outer Banks (Season 3): Episode Count 

According to Entertainment Weekly: 

“Ever since we started, we always viewed it as something that was probably like a four-season, maybe five-season show, but definitely four seasons. We’ve sort of long-arced oy out pretty far. I’m just hoping that we get a chance to actually tell those stories.” 

Jonas Pate said, “My answer is, as long as we can keep making it good and we’re still excited. That’s the number. Definitely more than three.”

AMD working on new Radeon drivers for RDNA2 & older GPUs

0

The Red team has recently confirmed via Frank Azor, their Chief Architect of Gaming Solutions, that AMD will be releasing Radeon drivers for their old RX 6000 series GPUs and even older ones. They also aim to launch new drivers within the next 2 weeks and they are trying to post as soon as possible.

Radeon drivers for RDNA2 & older GPUs are incoming!

Frank even went on to reply that their new driver updates will be targeted for all its entire portfolios of GPUs, however, the specific focus is on the older GPUs. As both the new RX 7900 models have already received four consecutive drivers but it’s been months since AMD launched any driver for the older cards.

The last AMD Radeon 22.11.2 driver for pre-RX 7000 series cards has been a WHQL release and we personally have faced a lot of crashes and bugs in various games. While AMD has always been particular about its updates, this kind of behaviour is not natural, however, speaking out publicly about a new driver is on the way is very kind of AMD though.

Mason Greenwood to continue to be left out of FIFA 23

0

Charges against Mason Greenwood for attempted rape, assault and coercive behaviour were dropped recently. But, the player will continue to be excluded from FIFA 23. 

He was removed from FIFA 22 following his arrest, and has also been unavailable in Ultimate Team (FUT) packs and Ultimate Draft. Greenwood was also removed from active squads, and he will continue to be removed until EA Sports can confirm otherwise. The developers have not commented on the situation as of yet, suggesting no change in their stance. 

Mason Greenwood will still excluded from FIFA after criminal charges dropped 

One of the main reasons behind the charges being dropped against the Manchester United forward was the withdrawal of key witnesses. He has gone on to release a statement on the situation which is as follows: 

“I am relieved that this matter is now over and I would like to thank my family, loved ones and friends for their support”

“There will be no further comment at this time.”

Although the criminal proceedings against him have ended, Manchester United have not allowed him to return to training. They have released a statement, and have confirmed that they will conduct their own investigation on the matter before making any other comment. 

Erik Ten Hag was asked about the matter at a press conference as well, and deferred all questions to the statement of the club. He refrained from commenting on any questions, including about whether he had ever spoken to Mason Greenwood at all.

0

OnePlus is going to host its biggest-ever event on 7th February i.e. the Cloud 11 event in Delhi where they will launch their first-ever tablet by the brand. This is the new OnePlus Pad or referred to as the OPPO Pad 2 and prior to the launch, the detailed specifications of the same have been leaked.

OnePlus Pad specifications dissected

Prominent tipster Yogesh Brar says the new OnePlus Pad will sport an 11.6-inch 2K LCD panel, not OLED, quite strange but with a high 144Hz refresh rate. The interesting thing about this OnePlus Pad is that OnePlus is going in direct competition against the iPad Air, thanks to the flagship Dimensity 9000 SoC it is estimated to sport.

This is accompanied by 8GB/12GB RAM alongside various 128GB/256GB/512GB storage options, as confirmed in the teasers, there will be a single 13MP rear camera and 8MP front shooter. Obviously, being an Android tablet, this new OnePlus Pad will feature the latest Android 13 aka OxygenOS 13, which could be tweaked a bit for the tablet.

On top of this, this tablet will sport a huge 9,500mAh battery which should be enough to power through the day and can be fast-charged with a 67W adapter. Apart from all this, OnePlus seems to provide a new experience to its fans and launch a premium tablet in the form of this OnePlus Pad.

So, OnePlus also confirmed that this premium Android tablet will also feature a Magnetic Keyboard and Stylus in-the-box which is a big deal. Why? Because most players like Samsung or Apple do not bundle their keyboards inside the box while Samsung does provide S-pen but OnePlus seems to take this even further.

It looks like the new OnePlus Pad is seeking to provide an overall experience with its brand-new tablet and you should be excited as well. Visit the OnePlus India website: https://lite.bz/fW7KNu

Google employees are complaining about poor work conditions and on getting Job Cuts

0

A week after their coworkers were laid off, Google employees staged a protest on both coasts of the United States of America, according to Bloomberg news. Protests were held on Wednesday at its headquarters in Mountain View, California, and again on Thursday near Google’s corporate offices in New York City to draw attention to subcontracted workers’ working conditions at Google and to show solidarity with the 12,000 workers who were laid off.

The protest, which drew about 50 employees outside a Google store on Ninth Avenue, began just minutes after parent company Alphabet Inc. reported fourth-quarter results, which included a $13.6 billion profit, according to the report.

Their responsibilities, according to the report, include reviewing content to help train the company’s AI-powered algorithms, as well as screening YouTube clips and searching ads for offensive or sensitive material. However, the workers claim that their pay and benefits are far below Google’s minimum standards and benefits for direct contract workers.

“Today shows that some of the issues we’re talking about affect all workers regardless of what their actual job title or job status is,” Devor, who has worked at the Mountain giant for more than three years and is an AWU member, told Bloomberg in an interview.

The Alphabet Workers Union, a labour organisation, organised both demonstrations. It is a minority union with no rights to collective bargaining. The workers also claimed that their pay and benefits are significantly lower than Google’s own minimum standards and benefits for direct contract workers.

LG releases its Meta tech based OLED TV Panel inspired by dragonfly eye Structure

0

This year, LG debuted its first third-generation OLED product at CES 2023. This is the first television to feature Zero Connect technology, which enables wireless transmission of 4K@120Hz real-time video and audio. Peak brightness has always been OLED’s main disadvantage when compared to QLED and mini LED, so LG introduced META technology in third-generation OLED products.

LG’s META technology, which uses a “Micro Lens Array (MLA)” similar to a compound eye structure, was inspired by dragonfly glasses, according to TomsHardware. This is a micron-level convex lens layer that improves energy efficiency by approximately 22% and realises the technology that OLED brightness and viewing angle surpass once more.

LG also employs its proprietary “META Booster” brightness enhancement algorithm to improve screen brightness and colour expression by analysing and adjusting the brightness of each scene in real time, all while enhancing the HDR effect.

According to LG, the third-generation 77-inch 4K OLED TV panel based on META technology has 42.4 billion microlenses in total, with approximately 5117 microlenses in each pixel, achieving a peak brightness of 2100 nits.

The new product has a 60% higher screen brightness and a 30% higher viewing angle with halved brightness than the traditional OLED display, achieving a wide viewing angle of 160°, brighter light, and deeper blacks, the most accurate colour expression, and the most vivid images to date.

LG will initially use META technology on 55-inch, 65-inch, 77-inch, and 88-inch OLED TVs, with the 88-inch being 8K resolution. LG will also use META technology on gaming monitors, according to OLED-Info, with the LG UltraGear 27GR95QE-B and ASUS ROG Swift PG27AQDM being the first products.
