Facebook is undoubtedly the world’s biggest social media company. It owns the world’s most famous chat platform WhatsApp and the world’s biggest image and video sharing social platform. But now it seems that the company is putting its hands into music as well.
According to fresh sources, Facebook is releasing an app that will let users post and share videos of them rapping over beats, which are provided by the app.
The app is called Bars, and it lets you create 60-second rap videos. According to sources, users can then post the video to a TikTok-style feed, where people can watch it and mark it as “fire.”
Facebook also promises an auto-rhyme dictionary with the app, for those who mark themselves as “beginners” in the app’s sign-up. For those closer to the “Advanced” level, it provides a Freestyle mode, which gives you eight random words to work into a 16-bar off-the-cuff rap.
For the rap lovers, the app seems to be a good alternative over TikTok, as it promises to provide professionally made beats for you to rap over. Reports indicate that the App is being developed by Facebook’s New Product Experimentation group.
For now, the App is only in the beta state and available on iOS. For the Android version, it will still take a lot of time. When all said, the app has promised a whole lot of features and it seems that Facebook is quite positive for the Apps success. Let’s wait for the stable release of the App.
The Xbox Game Streaming app for Windows PC has been in development for quite a while, and now finally, it seems that the app is ready to be launched. According to fresh sources, Microsoft is in the finalizing stages of the Streaming app, including access to streaming games from the company’s xCloud service.
According to TheVerge, who managed to get access to the latest version of the Xbox Game Streaming app for Windows, an unannounced and unreleased app. The app will let Windows users stream games from their Xbox Series S / X consoles and xCloud.
However, in the current version, according to sources, you can’t stream games from the new Xbox consoles to Windows PC. But Microsoft stated that it will be resolved once the app is finalized. It will also bring xCloud streaming to Windows PCs for the first time.
The Xbox remote play feature, for connecting to Xbox consoles, is similar to the existing Console Companion does. You can remotely wake an Xbox console, sign in, and play games wherever you are.
scoop: here's a look at Microsoft's unreleased xCloud app for Windows. This app lets you stream Xbox games from an Xbox Series X / S console, or from xCloud. Full details here: https://t.co/ymyjQDmaeHpic.twitter.com/V3U3PXe7LO
According to sources, Microsoft is working on 1080p streams for xCloud, instead of the 720p, which is good news. It will improve the experience on Windows PCs, ahead of higher resolutions once Microsoft has upgraded its xCloud servers to include Xbox Series X hardware.
Microsoft is rumored to be planning a “what’s new for gaming” event for next month, so we may hear a lot more about the company’s xCloud plans.
Google Discover has come a long way from the time it was launched. In August, the service started surfacing “Short videos” to join webpages, regular videos, and later AMP-based Web Stories.
For its next-month beta update, the Android maker will be testing YouTube shorts and other short content for its Discover service. According to sources, the cards will feature the YouTube play logo in the top-left corner, while the video title and “YouTube” appear below.
Tapping on the card immediately opens the YouTube app, and a new fullscreen player where you can like/dislike, see comments, share, and see “More” — Description, Report, or Send feedback, will appear. But there won’t any seek bar to control play and pause.
“YouTube Shorts” are up to 15 seconds long and created using a “Shorts camera” that’s currently only available in India. To access the camera, go to the Create menu in the YouTube app’s bottom bar; this new “short-form video creation tool” lets you select music, adjust speed, and set a hands-free Countdown timer while recording.
Reports indicate that YouTube encourages all creators to upload short vertical videos that are up to 60 seconds and tagged with #Shorts in the title or description. Those videos will be shown in Google Discover.
As for now, Google Discover shows regular YouTube content as full cards, and the addition of Shorts will help boost the beta format. Google said the “the YouTube Shorts player is now receiving more than 3.5 billion daily views globally.”
Google Discover’s Short videos carousel with YouTube is still in testing and not yet widely rolled out.
Jio is continuously expanding its reach to different markets one after another. One of the existing fields, the company is currently nurturing is wireless broadband solutions. The fresh fruit of its work is the new JioExtender6 AX6600 Wi-Fi 6. As per the company’s claims, this extender can back the network to increase the speed by up to four times.
The main plus point of this solution is the support of Wi-Fi 6. Obviously, it’s far better than Wi-Fi 5 and also future proof. On top of that, the JioExtender6 is comfortable with the 1Gbps broadband.
The JioExtender6 AX6600 Wi-Fi 6 is powered by a quad-core processor that resides inside with 128MB NAND and 256MB RAM. Unfortunately, the processor brand is not specified. There will be 3 Wi-Fi 6-enabled radios, two Wi-Fi clients, and one dedicated 5GHz network.
The on-paper markings of the company say the extender is able to boost the output of the 5GHz band by up to 38%, whereas 2.4GHz output can be boosted up by around 90% in maximum cases. There are eight “high performance” internal antennas on the JioExtender6 AX6600 Wi-Fi 6 along with Jio’s high-power amplifiers.
Needless to say, the new machine will reduce the existing latency problem on a higher scale, especially, while video streaming and gaming. The JioExtender6 AX6600 WiFi 6 Mesh is currently available to buy from Jio’s official website, INR 25,999 will be charged for it.
Intel is all set to launch its new Rocket Lake-S desktop CPUs in the coming days, and as we reported recently, Mindfactory is openly admitting the sale of these CPUs and has even admitted that no embargo has been breached in the process.
The people who bought these CPUs have posted in German tech forums like HardwareLuxx, PC Games Hardware, or ComputerBase. So, we have many early benchmarks of the 8-core Core i7-11700K, which could give us a fair idea of how these new Intel CPUs will perform against AMD’s revolutionary Ryzen 5000 series processors.
Andreas Schilling from hardwareluxx.de, has shared few benchmarks that suggest how Intel Core i7-11700K stacks up against AMD Ryzen 7 5800X:
Take this with a grain of salt, but I wanted to put the numbers in perspective. Core i7-11700K against current Ryzen lineup and in retro perspective with Intel CPUs. pic.twitter.com/adueVdc2wu
In Cinebench R20 single-core, the Intel Core i7-11700K scores 600 points and 5749 points in multi-core. This is close but not enough to beat AMD Ryzen 7 5800X’s 622 points in single-core and 6022 points in multi-core.
This is true because, in our Ryzen 7 5800X review, it also scored 625 points in single-core whereas 5875 points in multi-core. So, indeed the Intel Core i7-11700K fails to beat AMD at early stages, and this is the same case in Cinebench R23 as well:
Here also we see the Ryzen 7 5800X beating Intel by fine margins both in single-core and multi-core tests. Not only this, in CPU-Z too the picture is the same:
Here we see both the CPUs having almost the same single-core scores at the stock, with Intel leading by few points, whereas Intel is far behind AMD in multi-core performance. These early benchmarks only give us some assumptions of the performance we can expect from these Rocket Lake-S CPUs, but the competition is very intense, no doubts!
I know, IPC is just a median and we don't know which models we should compare here, but the Core i7-11700K hits exactly +18 % IPC compared to the Core i7-10700K. Just a coincidence? pic.twitter.com/Zy2en9NKMq
Interestingly, Andreas Schilling also mentions the single-threaded IPC improvement in both the Intel and AMD CPUs, compared to the last-gen Core i7-10700K. In the chart, we see, the Core i7-11700K has an 18.58% IPC uplift while the Ryzen 7 5800X posts a better 22.92% IPC uplift over Core i7-10700K.

Huami has a pretty interesting history in the line of fitness trackers. Earlier it was only known as the ODM for Xiaomi’s Mi Band. But later, it gained recognition with its Amazfit wearables. With the Amazfit line-up, the company made a name for itself; its products ranging from the new and experimental flexible-display X and the famous Bip series, have earned the company a spot in the fitness market.
According to fresh reports, the company has recently announced that it is going for a change in its name and believes that it will keep up its confidence in keep going after the success. It has announced that it has officially (and legally, pending regulatory approval) transformed into Zepp Health Corporation, a rebadging that applies to all of its markets worldwide and every aspect of its business: even its New York stock exchange (NYSE) ID is now ZEPP.
Reports indicate that the transition has been in the works since it bought the Zepp (a company originating in Silicon Valley with an association with health technology) brand recently.
The company states that its new name is an effort to underpin the connection between human welfare and technology. It also indicates that it is no longer merely a wearables-maker home. Sources indicate that Zepp Health (formerly Huami) intends to expand its market to more health tech areas, including connected health products, analytics for insurers, and precision, possibly actually clinical, sensors.
It has also secured “strategic partnerships” with companies such as Hyperfine, Promaxo, and Prudential Asia, to bring these goals to fruition.

According to other sources, the AGESA 1.2.0.1 BIOS Firmware will also address the L3 cache performance issue that users were facing when updating to 1.2.0.0 BIOS Firmware. Reports indicate that a test was made to check the claims, and an AMD Ryzen 9 5950X CPU and an MSI MEG B550 Unify motherboard were used. The comparison was done with both the AGESA 1.2.0.0 and the new AGESA 1.2.0.1 firmware.
The AGESA 1.2.0.1 fixes the L3 cache performance issues and the numbers are back to normal where they should be. Also, MSI has initially rolled out the AMD AGESA 1.2.0.1 Firmware on the following 500-series motherboards:
Recently, SpaceX has been working on the third modification to its Starlink satellite internet constellation. And the modifications are currently facing opposition from a host of companies. Thus, a meeting was held between the FCC’s International Bureau (IB) members and the representatives of Space Exploration Technologies Corp (SpaceX) regarding the modifications.
According to sources, SpaceX has requested the Commission to allow it to reduce the elevation angles of its Earth stations and altitudes of its satellites – citing reduced interference and safety improvements for the changes, respectively.
But the proposal has received severe scrutiny, especially from Amazon’s satellite division, Kuiper, DISH Corporation, and other non-U.S. registered firms, who believe that the changes will hamper their ability to operate without constraints.
In the meeting with the FCC, Starlink’s representatives highlighted the importance of the changes, which are necessary for improving Starlink safety. On the other hand, competitors, including Amazon, have alleged that the modification request makes the constellation more dangerous. It threatens collisions with satellites that propose to operate in these altitudes.
To improve safety, SpaceX offered two corrective changes:
— The first of these is improving its manufacturing process for better satellite testing.
— The second is a software update that seeks to root out problems that cause the spacecraft to stop responding.
During its meeting with the FCC, SpaceX directly targeted Amazon’s claim of Starlink interfering with the Kuiper constellation. According to SpaceX, Amazon “seems to have given up work on its own nascent NGSO system in favor of its efforts to slow down Starlink.”
But it’s not just Amazon, SpaceX went especially hard on DISH. The company states that DISH has, “singled out SpaceX alone for its fishing expedition, even though other NGSO licensees operate with bigger beams, higher transmit power, and lower elevation angles.”
