Improvements in Alexa’s speech science

Improving Alexa’s understanding of customer requests in English, Hindi and a mixed language such as Hinglish in various Indian dialects and accents is very complex and requires deep science and invention by the Alexa science team.

The team also drove numerous initiatives towards algorithmic improvement of Alexa’s understanding of English and Hindi, leading to 27% improvement in Alexa’s Natural Language Understanding. They equipped Alexa with hundreds of new words from the Hindi vocabulary, used machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques to help Alexa understand different ways in which customers can ask for the same information. These improvements have made interactions with Alexa more natural.

Google has launched a new version of Chrome OS bringing the benefits of Chrome OS to PCs and Macs. A USB drive and compatible PC or Mac is all needed to get started.

What is Chrome OS Flex

Chrome OS Flex is the cloud-first, fast, easy-to manage, and secure operating system for PCs and Macs. Chrome OS Flex is a new, free-to-download operating system from Google. Built for businesses and schools, it’s fully compatible with Google’s powerful cloud-based management. Chrome OS Flex modernizes devices you already own, allowing you to experience the benefits of Chrome OS on PCs and Macs:

A fast, modern work experience

In a blog post, it says that Chrome OS Flex provides fast access to web apps and virtualization, all within an intuitive, clutter-free experience for users. Chrome OS Flex boots up in seconds and doesn’t slow down over time. And with system updates that happen in the background, there’s less downtime for users.

Chrome OS

Proactive security against the latest threats

With Chrome OS Flex, there’s no need for antivirus software. With regular security updates, Chrome OS Flex has built in protection against threats including viruses, ransomware, and phishing. Sandboxing technology keeps threats contained to a specific tab or application, the read-only OS blocks executables where threats often hide, and Google Safe Browsing proactively warns users before navigating to malicious sites. IT can even prevent data loss on lost or stolen devices with remote wipe.

Easy deployment and management

Within minutes, IT can install Chrome OS Flex on devices through USB or network deployment. After login, a user’s cloud profile gets downloaded and automatically syncs their settings, bookmarks, and policies. And with the cloud-based Google Admin console, IT has a powerful and simple management experience. Even with 500+ policies and controls, it’s still easy to get started with pre-set policies recommended by Google.

A sustainable solution making the most of existing hardware

Google informs that Chrome OS Flex maximizes the life of your existing device fleet. Rather than disposing of aging PCs and Macs, refresh them with a modern and fast operating system to reduce e-waste.

Chrome OS Flex has the same code base and release cadence as Chrome OS which ensures a consistent end user and IT experience. Chrome OS Flex delivers the official Chrome Browser, Google Assistant, and cross-device features in the same user interface as Chrome OS. And with Chrome Enterprise for Education Upgrade, IT can manage Chrome OS Flex devices and Chrome OS devices like Chromebooks side by side in the Google Admin console.1

With such similar end user and IT experiences, it’s also easy to transition from Chrome OS Flex to Chrome OS devices when you’re ready to purchase new hardware: With Chromebooks, Chromeboxes, and Chromebases, you’ll experience end-to-end optimization across hardware and software with the strongest security and largest app ecosystem through the Google Play Store.

The most unexpected happened today as Facebook dropped News from its News Feed. The feature was there on the app for more than 15 years, but with Meta improving the user experience for better, renamed it to Feed only. Reportedly, it was found that the name News Feed created a picture of news-restricted content in users’ minds and apparently was confusing for some. “Starting today, our News Feed will now be known as ‘Feed’,” announced the company on Twitter. “Happy scrolling!”

 

Maybe they, too, want to give the user some diverse content they’ve been looking for!

Intel to acquire Tower Semiconductor for $5.4 billion

Intel Corporation and Tower Semiconductor, a leading foundry for analog semiconductor solutions, announced a definitive agreement under which Intel will acquire Tower for $53 per share in cash, representing a total enterprise value of approximately $5.4 billion. The acquisition significantly advances Intel’s IDM 2.0 strategy as the company further expands its manufacturing capacity, global footprint and technology portfolio to address unprecedented industry demand.

“Tower’s specialty technology portfolio, geographic reach, deep customer relationships and services-first operations will help scale Intel’s foundry services and advance our goal of becoming a major provider of foundry capacity globally,” said Pat Gelsinger, Intel CEO. “This deal will enable Intel to offer a compelling breadth of leading-edge nodes and differentiated specialty technologies on mature nodes – unlocking new opportunities for existing and future customers in an era of unprecedented demand for semiconductors.”

As a key part of its IDM 2.0 strategy, Intel established Intel Foundry Services (IFS) in March 2021 to help meet the growing global demand for semiconductor manufacturing capacity and to become a major provider of US- and Europe-based foundry capacity to serve customers globally. IFS currently offers leading-edge process and packaging technology, committed capacity in the U.S. and Europe and other geographies in the future, and a broad intellectual property (IP) portfolio.

 

Tower’s expertise in specialty technologies, such as radio frequency (RF), power, silicon-germanium (SiGe) and industrial sensors, extensive IP and electronic design automation (EDA) partnerships, and established foundry footprint will provide broad coverage to both Intel and Tower’s customers globally. Tower serves high-growth markets such as mobile, automotive and power. Tower operates a geographically complementary foundry presence with facilities in the U.S. and Asia serving fabless companies as well as IDMs and offers more than 2 million wafer starts per year of capacity – including growth opportunities in Texas, Israel, Italy and Japan. Tower also brings a foundry-first customer approach with an industry-leading customer support portal and IP storefront, as well as design services and capabilities.

“With a rich history, Tower has built an incredible range of specialty analog foundry solutions based upon deep customer partnerships, with worldwide manufacturing capabilities. I could not be prouder of the company and of our talented and dedicated employees,” said Russell Ellwanger, Tower CEO. “Together with Intel, we will drive new and meaningful growth opportunities and offer even greater value to our customers through a full suite of technology solutions and nodes and a greatly expanded global manufacturing footprint. We look forward to being an integral part of Intel’s foundry offering.”

Randhir Thakur, president of Intel Foundry Services, said: “We are building Intel Foundry Services to be a customer-first technology innovator with the broadest range of IP, services and capacity. Tower and IFS together will provide a broad portfolio of foundry solutions at global scale to enable our customers’ ambitions.”

Intel is the only leading-edge player with both research and development and manufacturing in the US, including recently announced capacity expansions in Arizona and New Mexico, as well as plans to build a new mega-site in Ohio. Tower’s technology and manufacturing footprint is highly complementary to Intel’s IFS capabilities in leading-edge processes, allowing the combined company to provide broader offerings to customers at scale. With the addition of Tower, Intel is strongly positioned to bring more value to customers across the nearly $100 billion addressable foundry market.

Ukraine army, defense ministry websites hit by cyberattacks: Reports

As tensions over the threat of a possible invasion by Russia remained high, Ukrainian authorities said a series of cyberattacks knocked down the websites of the Ukrainian army, the defense ministry, and major banks on Tuesday.

Reportedly, the attacks knocked out at least 10 Ukrainian websites, including the defense, foreign, and culture ministries and the country’s two largest banks. In such attacks, websites are bombarded with junk data packets, rendering them unreachable.

“We don’t have any information of other disruptive actions that (could) be hidden by this DDoS attack,” said Victor Zhora, a top Ukrainian cyber defense official. He said emergency response teams were working to cut off the attackers and recover services as reported by the Associated Press.

Among Ukraine’s largest state-owned banks, Privatbank, and state-owned Sberbank, customers complained about problems with online payments and apps.

Russia sent signals Tuesday that it might be pulling back from the brink, easing fears of a Russian invasion of Ukraine, but Western powers demanded proof.

Since 2014, when Russia annexed Crimea and backed separatists in eastern Ukraine, Ukraine has faced relentless cyberattacks by Russia.

As part of a cyberattack on Jan. 14, a malicious “wiper” cloaked as ransomware damaged servers at Ukraine’s State Emergency Service and at the Motor Transport Insurance Bureau. Cybersecurity experts believe it was deliberately designed that way, given Russian state-sponsored hackers’ capacity to do such damage. A message posted simultaneously on dozens of defaced Ukrainian government websites said: “Be afraid and expect the worst.”

Oppo joins Hasselblad for its upcoming next-gen flagship: What to expect?

Finally, the lines between Oppo and OnePlus are going to blur as Oppo announced its exclusive three-year collaboration with Hasselblad.

OppoXHasselblad

For those who don’t know, Hasselblad is a well-known professional camera maker from Sweden. It has patterned up with many smartphone brands like OnePlus in the past, and now, it is working with OPPO for its upcoming premium grade handsets.

In a post on Weibo (a Chinese microblogging site), Oppo dedicated a blog post about this recent three-year commitment with Swedish camera maker Hasselblad to “co-develop industry-leading camera technologies for Oppo’s flagship Find series,” the post said.

If this sounds familiar to you, or you’re wondering why One Plus is in the intro is because One Plus also announced its partnership with Hasselblad before the launch of One Plus 9 and 9 Pro last year.

Oppo also unveiled that it will be working on the cameras of its upcoming next-gen Flagship Find X series with the Swedish imaging professional. Furthermore, the brand also shared its expected innovations and technological improvements with Hassleblad’s tuning and performance support.

Additionally, with OPPO merging with OnePlus, both firms will also share their research and development platform as well as resources, which means that more users will benefit from the Hasselblad cameras. This is definitely a power-packed collab, and with the inclusion of the former’s expertise in camera technology, we can expect the new flagship to offer better optimizations for its sensors, with more natural colors.
