Amd Supposedly Prepping Noise Suppression Technology

Thanks to the quick hands of some fans online and through the magic and convenience of Reddit, a snippet of that video that “officially” shows off the alleged noise suppression technology. Again, it’s short and last for all but 40 seconds, but for the most part, it’s a sign that AMD is stepping up its game in the area of communication, as well as challenging a similar technology from its direct rival, NVIDIA....

Android Will Soon Remind Users To Keep Their Heads Up While Walking

Twitter user Jay Prakash Kamat shared screenshots of the feature in action on a Google Pixel 4a. And it’s as straightforward as it sounds. With it turned on, your phone will remind you to look up while walking, rather than at it, when you’re walking. Heads Up also comes with a reminder that this “doesn’t replace paying attention”. Or, if it’s telling you. — Jay Prakash Kamat (@jay__kamat) April 11, 2021 According to XDA, the Heads Up feature is rolling out only on the Google Pixel series of devices....

Aperture Desk Job Is A Free Game That S Also A Steam Deck Tutorial

As you’d imagine, Aperture Desk Job is designed specifically for the Steam Deck. As per the game’s official description, it “walks you through the handheld’s controls and features, while not being nearly as boring as that sounds”. You can play Aperture Desk Job on PC, but you’ll need a controller to do that. Which makes sense, if it’s made to work specifically with the Steam Deck. It even says that KBM usage is not supported....

Apple Addresses Critical Security Loopholes Across All Devices Via Latest Firmware Updates

Malware that exploits these vulnerabilities are capable of infecting a device without requiring the victim to do anything, hence the term “zero-click”. One such example of this is the Pegasus hacking platform, a spyware tool developed by an Israeli firm known as the NSO Group. If both of these names sound familiar, this is because they have been associated with several attacks on platforms including Apple’s iMessage, as well as Facebook’s encryption-based private messaging service WhatsApp....

Apple Being Investigated Again By Brazil For Missing Iphone 13 Charger

Apple already got in trouble with Procon-SP when it first decided to exclude the power brick from the iPhone 12, with the regulator fining the tech giant US$2 million (~RM8.3 million) earlier this year, which also included charges of misleading advertising and unfair terms. Even before they had taken action against the company, the regulator already concluded back in November that Apple’s move did not demonstrate environmental gain. Procon-SP’s executive director Fernando Capez told TechTudo that it’s not legal to sell the phone and charger separately as “you can only charge the device with that power brick,” leading to customers being obligated to buy two products....

Apple To Allow Third Party Screen Repairs For Iphone 13

A couple of months ago, YouTube channel Phone Repair Guru revealed that Face ID on the iPhone 13 would be completely bricked if the phone’s display is swapped out, even with another original Apple screen. This was apparently because there is a microcontroller in each display that syncs the serial number between the phone and the screen. iFixit details the workaround for this, which requires transferring the microcontroller from the old display to the new one....

Asus Enters Nvme Gen4 Ssd Market With Rog Strix Sq7

Additional details of the SQ7 are scarce, to say the least, with only a poster showing off ASUS’ upcoming M.2 SSD being one of the few indications of its existence. The model on the poster, particularly, also points to the brand’s first iteration of the PCIe Gen4 storage component shipping out with 1TB as the starting capacity, but it is likely that ASUS will also offer higher capacities as well....

Audacity Owner To Revise Privacy Policy Following Recent Backlash

Following this, Muse Group has recently announced that it will be revising the policy change to clear up any misunderstanding regarding its new data collection implementation. The group claims that it was “unclear” in phrasing the new change, and assured that Audacity will only collect “very limited data” from users. These include operating system version, processor type, opt-in error reports, and IP addresses – where the latter are stored in a readable format for 24 hours before becoming “pseudonymised and irretrievable....

Avengers Endgame Directors Say Doctor Strange Died 14 Million Times

But how exactly did Strange travel through time? In a recent interview with Wired, Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo were asked that exact question. As one might expect, the Russo brothers compared the events of Infinity War with what happened during the climactic scene of Doctor Strange which sees the Sorcerer Supreme go up against Dormammu. Joe Russo: He has to physically review all of these scenarios and die in them and right before he dies, he has to reset it as we saw at the end of Doctor Strange, and do it again, taking copious notes each time he does it....

Boost Holdings contains Axiata Digital’s fintech businesses, including the Boost e-wallet and the Aspirasi micro-financing platform.

Biden Administration Puts New 5G Restrictions On Huawei Suppliers

These suppliers are now explicitly banned from selling Huawei components – semiconductors, antennas, batteries, and more – for use in or with 5G devices. This applies even if the component in question has nothing to do with 5G functioning, Reuters said. The move by the Biden administration is partly aimed at enforcing uniformity among the license holders. Some of them were operating on under looser rules, causing confusion among companies and prompting complaints from them – especially during former President Trump’s administration....
