Tech News | Upcoming MacBook Pro May Come with Display Notch

by

Washington [US], October 17 (ANI): Certain Apple leaks have been hinting at the possibility of a display notch on Apple’s upcoming MacBook Pro models just like iPhone 13.

Apple is likely to release a redesigned MacBook Pro line shortly consisting of a new 14-inch and a new 16-inch model, and as per GSM Arena, it may come with a notch on its display.

Going by the rumours, the new gadgets will come with rocking mini-LED displays, with much finer backlight zones and allegedly capable of hitting 1000 nits of brightness. Few reports claiming to be familiar with the actual panel production are also alleging that at least one of the two Pro models will also have a 120Hz refresh rate, and a display notch.

The notch could be allegedly in place to accommodate a new, nearly borderless display design, with squared-off corners, reminiscent of the current iPad and iPhone aesthetic.

As per GSM Arena, the notch will house a 1080p camera, a TrueTone sensor, and a microphone, but ‘Face ID’, which was also rumoured for the said notch, is apparently not happening.

Speculations regarding the display also say that Apple will pull an iOS-style move and sort of designate those 74-pixels (allegedly the exact height of the notch) as a “special area”, with the ability to treat the rest of the display as a standard 16:10 panel, effectively “hiding” the notch. There are even reports of some strategically crafted laptop wallpapers floating around.

The MacBook Pro 14 and 16 will also be running on an M1X chip.

GSM Arena reported a beefier variant of the current Apple M1, with a 10-core CPU with 8 big and 2 efficient cores and a doubled or ever quadrupled GPU core count. All of it, fabbed by TSMC on a 5NP node. Apparently, we can expect a slightly bigger and heavier chassis on the new MacBook Pro models, to accommodate two big fans for cooling.

Reportedly, the two laptops will be ditching the Touch Bar and going back to a more traditional keyboard, despite being redesigned. The gadget might have an entirely black colour scheme – including the buttons and the backplate. Touch ID could be available with a backlight.

The upcoming MacBook Pro models are also rumoured to be rich in ports, with an HDMI, Thunderbolt, and SD card reader on the right side and another two Thunderbolt ports, plus a 3.5mm audio jack and a new MagSafe connector on the left side. (ANI)

Show photos saved on your phone on your TV

by

When our TVs were smaller, seeing that black screen wasn’t a big deal. In the age of cheap big screens, they’re an eyesore.

That’s especially true if your TV is dusty and smudged. There’s a right way and a wrong way to clean your screen. Tap or click here for the steps pros know to get your screen clean without scratches and streaks.

When the TV is switched on, your settings play a role in how good what you’re watching looks. Tap or click for six quick steps to better picture quality.

And if you’re not watching anything, why not display your favorite photos? Here are a few easy ways to get the job done, straight from your phone.

1. Roku screen mirroring

If you own an Android or Windows phone and a Roku device, you can display photos on your TV using the Roku app. Note: This feature is not available for iPhone users.

Tech news that matters to you, daily

Privacy, security, the latest trends and the info you need to live your best digital life.

Play on Roku is an app feature that allows you to select what photos you want to see and loads them directly onto your TV. You can even share songs. Be sure your app is updated to the latest version, and ensure your phone is on the same wireless network as your Roku device.

  • Open the Roku mobile app, and choose the Devices app.
  • Choose the Roku Device you want to display photos to.
  • Tap the Media icon to launch Play on Roku.
  • Choose Music, Photos, or Videos to select what you want to display.
  • Select your options, and your choices will appear on your TV.

You can also use screen mirroring. This replicates everything on your phone onto your TV. If you have a device that supports screen mirroring, be sure you are running Roku OS 7.7 or later. It will be enabled by default. When you’re ready, choose the Screen Mirroring option on your device. Tap or click here to see what models qualify and get in-depth instructions.

2. Amazon Fire TV

If you prefer Fire TV over Roku, you can display photos with this app, too. It’s straightforward as long as you have the Alexa app. Unlike with Roku, you can do this on Android and iOS devices. Here’s how:

  • Open the Alexa app and tap More.
  • Choose Settings > Photos > Devices.
  • Select your TV from the list.
  • Upload your photos of choice to display on your television.

Alexa is handy, but she can drive you up the wall. Tap or click to stop some of Alexa’s most annoying behaviors.

3. Chromecast

Like Fire TV, you can cast your photos in a few simple steps with the Google Photos app. First, make sure your Google Photos app and Chromecast are fully updated. You also need to connect both to the same wireless network.

On Android:

  • Open Google Photos.
  • Choose the photo or album you want to display.
  • At the top right corner, choose Cast.
  • Choose the correct Chromecast.
  • Open the photo to display it on your TV.

On iPhone:

  • Open Google Photos, and sign in to your Google Account.
  • Choose the photo or album you want to cast.
  • At the top right corner, choose Cast and choose the correct Chromecast.
  • Open the photo to display it on your TV.

This option is similar to screen mirroring on Roku as it casts the content from your phone directly to your TV.

You can also set up Ambient Mode. When your Chromecast is not in use, it will display photos from your Google account if you choose. Tap or click for settings and instructions to get it up and running.

Don’t have any of these devices? Use your TV’s settings

If you have a smart TV, third-party extras like the Roku and Fire TV aren’t strictly necessary. So, if you own a smart TV and don’t have one of these devices, can you still display photos on your TV? Most likely, yes!

Depending on your TV brand and compatibility, there’s a good chance you have access to a built-in option to display photos. If you own a Vizio or Samsung smart TV, along with many others, you can show pictures in seconds. Tap or click here for directions for your smart TV.

Tech News | Clubhouse is Launching New Music Mode

by

Washington [US], October 15 (ANI): The audio social networking app Clubhouse is launching a new Music Mode that could make it a better place to play and listen to live music.

As per The Verge, the new Music Mode “optimises Clubhouse to broadcast your music with high quality and great stereo sound”.

Clubhouse doesn’t say what it means by high quality, but it does also mention that you can now hook up professional equipment, like a USB mic or mixing board, and use it during your broadcast.

Clubhouse already added spatial audio in late August, which makes conversations sound more like a room full of people than a flat audio call. You can easily turn on Music Mode by tapping the three dots in the top right corner of a room, selecting Audio Quality, and then choosing Music. If you just want to listen to the performance, however, you won’t have to do any of this — just sit back and enjoy stereo audio from your headphones, speakers, or your phone itself.

Clubhouse also noted that its recently introduced Clips feature — which lets you capture a 30-second recording — will support stereo sound as well, so if you decide to save a snippet of performance in Music Mode, the audio quality will stay the same.

Music Mode will initially only be available on iOS, but Clubhouse says that the rollout to Android will follow shortly behind.

Aside from Music Mode, Clubhouse has also updated its search feature. The platform will now display the search bar in a more convenient location at the top of your hallway. And as an added plus, you’ll also be able to Wave to friends right from the search bar, a feature that lets you quickly invite friends to a live audio room.

Amazon is far from Clubhouse’s only competition for live audio. Clubhouse likely learned its lesson this past year, when Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and even Spotify made their own versions of audio-only chatrooms.

All of this came at a time when Clubhouse was still in an invite-only state, making it harder for the app to grow. But now that the app is thriving, Clubhouse wants to keep as many advantages as possible. (ANI)

Tech News: uncomplicated learning

by

All over the world Covid-19 has crudely interrupted centuries-old teaching and learning practices resulting in about 1.3 billion children and students studying at home. As a result, education has changed radically, with online and remote learning on digital platforms becoming the norm during the Covid-19 pandemic.

This largely unplanned and rapid move to online learning with only emergency training of lecturers and teachers, little preparation, and often insufficient access to the internet, data, and bandwidth, resulted in several growing pains. But many schools, universities and educational businesses were able to pivot quickly and adapt to the new circumstances.

Unfortunately, institutions in developing countries experienced some serious challenges. Students without reliable and affordable internet access and/or technology struggled to participate in digital learning. Therefore, certain universities launched massive drives to provide laptops and data to students in need.

An innovative online solution

However, a Brazilian EdTech company, Descomplica (Portuguese for “uncomplicate”) made studying incredibly easy and affordable and their 100 percent online model currently services about 30 million students. As Brazil’s go-to online learning platform, Descomplica supports students along their entire learning journey, from the university entrance exam to their graduation and post-graduation, as well as support with free courses, school reinforcement, preparation for competitions and Bar exams.

Access to universities

Standardised test grades are the only criterion in Brazil for access to higher education institutions. However, there is a high correlation between income and grades in these standardised entrance exams and very few low-income students would get access to higher education. The lack of access to undergraduate education has therefore become a major hurdle for employability in Brazil.

In the early 2000s top-tier universities in Brazil tried to address this shortcoming of the admissions model due to low-quality public basic education. Affirmative action and social quotas were widely implemented, and enrolment increased tremendously. Unfortunately, many years of exposure to poor education left a lifelong consequence and drop-out rates among the quota students were unusually high.

Descomplica, however, believed that technology was the only way to make learning accessible to all people. They leveraged technology to provide quality education to anyone with an internet connection at about 1 percent of the normal cost.

The online platform

They created a platform with more than 40 000video courses presented by engaging lecturers, daily live classes, tutoring sessions by senior students, an exercise platform, essay grading, micro-tests, and an incredible library of resources and study guides. The multiple-choice exercises provide comments on all wrong answers and are linked to extra lectures. The exercises also have a social architecture by allowing students to invite friends for a challenge.

The platform offers two weekly schedules to the 30 million students: The first is pre-recorded to introduce concepts that can be viewed at any time. The programme is composed of video lectures that are broken into three-to-five-minute modules, a complete set of reading material, relevant exercises, and essay assignments. Currently there are more than 30 million video views per month.

The second is 40-minute interactive classes live streamed seven days a week from the Descomplica studios at set times to reinforce concepts, solve exercises, and clarify doubts. The biggest live session entailed 1.2 million students!

Unique requirements

Descomplica realised the challenges of studying alone and therefore designed the content much more entertaining than in traditional courses. To keep students engaged, classes are fun and provocative. Teachers are trained not only to master online teaching but also to develop “TV presenter skills”.

Students can further add their reactions to specific moments in real-time while watching the videos. Eventually the lecturers receive a map of students’ reactions to assist them in improving the lectures.

Personalisation of the learning experience

In January this year, Descomplica fully personalised content for each student by implementing algorithms that recommend the best materials according to an individual student’s profile and level of content mastery. This increased engagement had a positive effect on learning results. Students who used the platform scored much higher across all subjects and scored 38% better than the national average in the university entrance exam.

Descomplica’s model blends technology with charismatic and entertaining lecturers, compelling content, and a tone of voice that breaks with traditions and speaks the language of today’s students. By making education accessible, affordable, and enjoyable, Descomplica is making lifelong learning more attractive and tangible for all.

Renewing the education system

It thus seems that the pandemic interrupted an education system that has for quite some time lost its relevance and needed transformation and improvement. Perhaps the forced move to online learning could be the catalyst to create a new, more effective, and more relevant educational system in South Africa. Just think how games have changed. Pac-Man from the nineties is not fun anymore. Neither is teaching and learning from centuries ago. It is time to adapt the kind of classes, content, and pedagogy to make it fun and captivating.

The intersection of technology, education and media can make innovative and relevant high-quality education accessible to everyone in South Africa at a much lower cost and thus increase employment.

Personio secures £200M, has aggressive growth plans for the UK

by

All-in-one HR software for small- and medium-sized companies, Personio, based in Munich works with the mission to make HR processes transparent and efficient. Now, the fast-growing HR tech company has secured $270 million (nearly £200 million) in a Series E funding round, which takes its valuation to $6.3 billion.

UK growth plans

The investment round was led by Greenoaks Capital Partners alongside participation from Altimeter Capital and Alkeon. The portfolios of these investors include many notable software companies such as UiPath, Hubspot, Stripe and Snowflake. Also, Index Ventures, Accel, Meritech, Lightspeed, Northzone and Global Founders Capital among existing investors of Personio took part in the round.

The Series E funding follows the funding round it raised in January 2021, bringing the total capital raised to over $500M. The investment allows Personio to evolve its product to lead the People Workflow Automation category and continue to execute its long-term-oriented strategy, focused on the needs of its customers.

Notably, the UK is the second most important and largest market for Personio, which is experiencing an exciting 4x growth year on year. Eventually, Personio is increasing its headcount in the UK and has plans to hire over 100 people in the next year. Some of its recent senior hires include Ross Seychell, Chief People Officer, Nick Peart, VP of Marketing, and Sam Richards, UK Country Manager. There are over 200k organisations in Personio’s target market in the UK.

Hanno Renner, Co-founder and CEO Personio, said: “This investment highlights the continued fast growth of the business and the immense market potential, but also the belief in our vision for the future of HR tech. While I consider this funding a major milestone, we are still at the very beginning of our journey. Now we want to help HR teams go beyond HR. Launching the People Workflow Automation category is a big step forward along this path, serving.”

Neil Mehta, Founder and Managing Partner of Greenoaks, said: “While small businesses are the backbone of the European economy, they have been underserved and overlooked by legacy players for too long. Personio democratizes enterprise capabilities and delivers a step-change in productivity, simplifying HR workflows across the full employee lifecycle.

Automates people processes

Founded by Hanno Renner, Roman Schumacher, and Arseniy Vershinin in 2015, Personio, which has offices in London, Dublin, Madrid, and Munich. The fragmentation of processes and applications leads to wasted time, delays and missed opportunities for both employers and employees alike. People Workflow Automation solves issues faced by automating people processes across all applications and teams in an organisation. Changes such as terminations, team changes, promotions, location changes and sick leave requests happen frequently at any organisation.

Each triggers a workflow Personio can help streamline, avoiding those painful delays that lead to missed opportunities, while also freeing up time for HR teams, managers and employees. HR teams can easily manage issues that in the past would have involved manual tasks across multiple departments.

Together with the launch of the category Personio today released several new features that will allow its customers to benefit from workflow automation. This includes the integration of collaboration platforms such as Slack and Microsoft Teams, integrations with identity manager providers such as Okta or MS Azure Active Directory, Workflow Hub where HR teams can oversee status and delays across all their workflows.

Katarina Berg, CHRO at Spotify and Board Member of Personio, said: “HR teams have been constrained by having to work across different tools, departments and stakeholders for too long. At Spotify we have the scale to build our own platforms to mitigate these issues, but HR counterparts in SMEs do not have the resources to do likewise. People Workflow Automation democratizes an important technology trend that will have a significant impact and allow HR to go beyond HR. It’s a fantastic development for the industry.”

Nintendo launches new Switch with upgraded OLED screen | Science & Tech News

by

Nintendo has officially rolled out its new model of Nintendo Switch, the handheld games console that doubles up as a traditional TV plug in.

The Switch OLED, as the name suggests, features a whole new OLED screen, brighter, bigger, and clearer than the original model that launched in 2017.

Since 2017, sales of the Switch have outstripped the GameCube, Wii U and Nintendo 64, totalling nearly 90 million units shipped.

Image:
The handheld gaming device is being launched ahead of Christmas

The OLED Switch is more than just a new screen: the kickstand which was met with much criticism for being too flimsy has been revamped to be stronger and sturdier, the internal storage has been increased, and the TV dock has had an ethernet port added.

Nintendo has also added an extremely welcome Bluetooth audio function, finally allowing gamers on the move to connect their wireless headphones.

For many, this will not be the Switch Pro model which was heavily anticipated following Xbox and PlayStation’s launches of their next-gen consoles.

The Switch OLED is still not capable of 4K graphics and does not rival the computing power of its rivals.

Gamers will not be playing it to enjoy the latest high-intensity graphics games such as Far Cry 6 or Call of Duty Vanguard.

They will instead be playing fan-favourite titles such as the brand-new Metroid Dread, a game franchise originally conceived for the Nintendo DS.

It is a side-scrolling, action-adventure game whose 2D graphics are better suited to the compact technology of the Switch.


Image:
The new Nintendo Switch comes with a redesigned OLED screen

It is a console that many who already own an original Nintendo Switch might refrain from immediately buying.

The graphics and interior are mostly the same, and the JoyCon controllers have, according to industry sources, not been upgraded to alleviate the infamous “drifting” issue.

However, for those who do not already own an original Switch, and for those gamers that want a premium upgrade, the OLED model could turn out to be the obvious favourite.

Nintendo recently dropped the price of the base model down to £260 and will be marketing the OLED version at around £310.

The improved kickstand, more generous memory, and stunning screen could clinch it for many consumers, especially in the run up to Christmas.

Critically, the PS5 and Xbox, are different beasts to the OLED Switch altogether.

Nintendo’s portability offers a powerful unique selling point unavailable from Sony or Microsoft, making it ideal for people who travel or still commute often, while the PS5 and Xbox boast substantial processing and graphics power.

Last Christmas saw a critical shortage of Switches available from most retailers, due to the pandemic and various supply chain issues, which have been exacerbated during the year.

The OLED Switch is a noticeable, premium improvement upon the original model and will certainly be a contender for many stockings this Christmas, if stock levels are maintained.
