Leica, at the IFA show in Germany, announced its latest technological innovation with its first ultra-short throw (UST) laser projector that is capable of producing a 4K image of up to 100 inches with Dolby Atmos sound.

For consumer electronics and home appliances, IFA being one of the most inspiring trade shows has always been on the forefront of latest innovations and advancements. The show is currently taking place in Berlin, Germany from 2 September to 6 September, 2022.

This is not the first time Leica’s incursion into digital projectors, which it formerly vended under the Pradovit brand. It’s also banded with other projector makers such as the popular obscure UST model from last time.

It was though noted that the advertisement was light on details. Many media experts then chased down a demonstration of an early Cine 1 prototype at the Leica stall. Ross Slavov, the head of product operations at Leica’s recently formed smart protuberance business team revealed to the media experts about the company’s current plans.

The company is for now pondering over certain aspects including other specs, pricing, and delivery dates, all of which Slavov advised could change ahead of release.

What is interesting about the newly announced Leica Cine 1 projector is at the research and development stage actually there are two of them in development. Both the models will be Leica lenses.

While one of them can produce about 2500 lumens to project a 100- inch 4K 60Hz image at a distance of 30 cm( nearly 12 elevations) from the display wall, on the other hand, the second one would be able to produce 2100 lumens to project an 80- inch image from a distance of 15 cm (nearly six elevations).

The company notes that every projector model will be tuned for the very important display size. Both USTs look their best with ambient light rejection (ALR) defences.

It is also worth mentioning that the company also does not recommend moving them closer or further from the wall. Leica, it seems, will also be happy to offer this product for about $,800 for a big screen or around$,600 for an 80- inch screen, though this is just tentative speculations.

According to many experts, It is also being speculated that the 100-inch Cine 1 model is anticipated to be available for $,900, while the 80- inch projector will presumably bring around$,900.

Slavov, while interacting with many experts, also specified that Leica is looking forward to “partnered with Hisense for the triadic RGB ray light machine, which is a commodity of a trend as the originator of the ray television.

It uses a DLP chip from Texas Instruments. quiescence is around 30ms, which is fine for some casual gaming.”

As to the anchorages, the prototype has three HDMI aggregates ( one HDMI2.1 harborage with eARC), one USB2.0 and one USB3.0, an erected-in television tuner, and a Common Interface niche.

The US interpretation will “presumably” run Android television. Leica is hoping the projector vessels with 4.2 Atmos-certified audio.

Jamtara Season 2
Jamtara

Sacred Games was the first ever Indian web-series that was a massive success thereby paving way for OTT platforms like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, and others where they can now show content of different genres without worrying about the Indian censor board chopping adult content out.

Jamtara

Gangsters web-series like Mirzapur has achieved an iconic status and has been favourably compared to ‘The Godfather’ no less with Pankaj Tripathi’s performance in the series exalted him to the status of being the ‘Indian Marlon Brando’.

There is no dearth to excellent actors in the country and due to the massive clout of Bollywood stars, these actors from small-town are left far behind in the rat race as they don’t have PR agencies, godfather, or any, financial support to back them up.

Luckily, OTT platforms have changed things for the better for these actors as they can now finally prove their acting skills and win the hearts of the audience that they otherwise couldn’t due to receiving miniscule roles in movies.

Brief Description

Similarly there is a unique web-series called Jamtara, whose story is based in the eponymous district of Jharkhand. It revolves around a couple of small-towners that are involved in a phishing racket that is a huge success but there is a roadblock in the form of a corrupt politician who wants his share in the business.

Jamtara

Then enters the protagonist in the form of a police superintendent who is waging war against both and wants to clean up the town by ridding it of such unscrupulous elements who he believes a menace to society.

Jamtara Season 2 trailer was announced in the last week of August along with the announcement of the release date that has left the fans quite excited. The lucky day has finally arrived as Netflix has unveiled the second season trailer for Jamtara.

Jamtara: Sabka Number Ayega is coming back in a better phase with much more dangerous scams that would make phishing look like child’s play. The series is based on true events and this only increases the level of excitement for people fond of thrillers.

The Jamtara Season 2 will feature new characters with rivalries renewed in the backdrop of the Jamtara local elections approaching at a faster phase and all the candidates determined to win it by hook or crook.

The protagonist is Gudiya Mondal, played by Monika Panwar, who will be the main contender, facing off against Brajesh Bhaan, played by Amit Sial, who reprises the role of the corrupt politician.

Trailer Breakdown

The Jamtara Season 2 releases on September 23, 2022 exclusively on Netflix and has left an air of suspense and anticipation amongst viewers as to what they can expect in the new season given many of the characters.

The trailer begins with a voiceover where the age-old crimes will be compared with the new ones. It involves dacoits, a band of armed robbers riding horses and terrorizing innocent locals in the valleys of Chambal, Madhya Pradesh.

The narrator begins with the line ‘Gone are the days of dacoits’, dropping a subtle hint of the digital scams prevailing in the society but as with the last season, this one too will focus on phone scams that have become synonymous with Jamtara, Jharkhand, and the trend continues in the new season where it left off.

Then it shifts to the citizens who are portrayed as simple and gullible that easily fall for the lucky draw scams, which is made easier as the fraudsters have prepared fake Aadhaar cards in advance.

Once the stakes get high, Rocky, played by Anshuman Puskar, orders 5,000 SIM cards, as his aim is to mould school going children in the fine art of phishing and create a new generation of scamsters in the town.

A fine addition to the cast is veteran actress Seema Pahwa from Ramprasad Ki Tehrvi fame who watches over the election process and who feels that relations hold no value in the world of politics and in order to rise up, one has to leave kith and kin far behind.

A lot of old actors are going to reprise their roles from the previous season like Biswa Pathak, Dibyendu Bhattacharya, Aksha Pardasany, and many others so one can expect sparks to fly when the series starts streaming on Netflix.

Google Chrome Extensions Are Tracking User Activity: McAfee report

By

The global computer security software company, McAfee in their recently released report has confirmed what many industry experts have always feared. The handy extensions that we add to our Chrome browsers to add certain features or functionalities are trying everything they can to infringe on our privacy.

It has been found that these browser extensions are not simply tracking user activity, a fact that most internet users have already made peace with, but now have moved one step ahead and are carefully adding affiliate IDs into cookies of eCommerce sites to earn affiliate commission whenever the user is making a purchase.

Google, taking in consideration the latest findings in the report, has removed the extensions that were found guilty.

The McAfee report details how their internal team of researchers has found at least five Google Chrome extensions, collectively downloaded over 1.4 million times in recent times, indulging in unfair means.

Most of these extensions offer various features to the browser users including permitting multiple users to share and watch Netflix on a single subscription, full-page screenshots capabilities, and e-commerce website price tracking.

The Chrome users who were using these extensions were apparently oblivious of this privacy breach and the risk of every internet activity site being visited being sent to the servers of the extension authors.

“We discovered an interesting trick in a few of the extensions that would prevent malicious activity from being identified in automated analysis environments.

They contained a time check before they would perform any malicious activity. This was done by checking if the current date is > 15 days from the time of installation,” McAfee added in an official blog post.

 

The extensions being used to track user’s activity and insert code are –

Extension Downloads

Netflix Party – 800,000

Netflix Party 2 – 300,000

FlipShope – Price Tracker Extension – 80,000

Full Page Screenshot Capture – Screenshotting – 200,000

AutoBuy Flash Sales – 20,000

McAfee, in its official blog post, has also advised users to be cautious while installing extensions on their devices and asked users to verify the permissions being requested by the extensions.

These Chrome extensions usually include referral URLs encoded in Base64, users’ names encoded in Base64, and device location (country, city, county, zip code). According to McAfee post, extension authors were primarily targeting financial gains from the users purchase activity on the browser.

Call of Duty to Join Xbox Game Pass, says Microsoft’s Official Blog

A piece of exciting news for all gaming enthusiasts – according to the latest official Microsoft blog post, Call of Duty will soon be a part of the Xbox Game Pass. While it would not be an Xbox-exclusive title, Call of Duty from now onwards will launch on Xbox Game Pass. It will at the same time also maintain a same-day PlayStation release.

Phil Spencer, the Microsoft Gaming CEO, revealed in the blog post that after the acquisition deal is sealed, the Xbox game subscription service will include Activision Blizzard’s library of games. It will also include quality titles like Diablo and Overwatch.

In the statement, Spencer also specified how Xbox was “committed to making the same version of Call of Duty available on PlayStation on the same day the game launches elsewhere”.

“We will continue to enable people to play with each other across platforms and devices. The gaming industry today is robust and dynamic. Industry leaders, including Tencent and Sony, continue to expand their deep and extensive libraries of games as well as other entertainment brands and franchises, which are enjoyed by players everywhere.

We believe that a thorough review will show that the combination of Microsoft and Activision Blizzard will benefit the industry and players,” Spencer continues.

In the same blog post, Spenser also details how the company “intends to make Activision Blizzard’s much-loved library of games – including Overwatch, Diablo, and Call of Duty – available in Game Pass and to grow those gaming communities.”

The idea is to deliver more value to players with the sheer hope to continue and grow the popularity and subscription base of the Game Pass. The recent additions extend their appeal to not just mobile phones but all other inter-connected devices.

That being said, Activision Blizzard’s games will take some more time to arrive on the Game Pass. The Microsoft blog post did not provide any specific date or details for the same.

The blog post has arrived in line with the CMA (Competition and Markets Authority) — UK’s regulatory body — rounding up its investigation of the headline-grabbing $68 billion (about Rs. 5,41,800 crore) buyout of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft.

The approval process after the initial investigation of this deal has now entered phase 2, which will take an “in-depth investigation.”

After the Activision Blizzard acquisition news was made public, several players across the world were apprehensive about the Call of Duty being locked to Xbox. To counter those claims, in this new official blog post, Spencer has reconfirmed that Microsoft as a company is “committed” to making Call of Duty’s same version accessible on PlayStation in the same way it will launch otherwise.

“We know players benefit from this approach because we’ve done it with Minecraft, which continues to be available on multiple platforms and has expanded to even more since Mojang joined Microsoft in 2014,” he added in the blog post.

As Xbox extends its gaming storefront across more devices, it will continue respecting the developers’ choice on how they distribute games. In a tweet earlier this year, Spencer noted that Sony was an important part of the gaming industry and they wanted to maintain that relationship.

On one hand, the Microsoft blog didn’t confirm the official date on when the entire lineup of Call of Duty will be added to Xbox, whereas studio Infinity has already confirmed an open beta event for the announcement of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 remake.

In any case, all future releases and updates of the Call of Duty future lineup will have the same-day launch on both consoles. Having said that, gaming enthusiasts would be excited to know that after the acquisition is approved, Xbox can enable minor bonuses like “early access” advertised exclusively.

US Strictly Forbids Chip Sales to China

us forbids chip sales to china
nvidia amd

US and China are arguably two of the most powerful economies in the world although the former is a superpower while the latter is a developing one that is on the cusp of becoming an economic power in the future.

nvidia

Both countries haven’t exactly been in the best of terms for a long time and the news that has come out will only make their relationship sourer. US Federal Government has placed an order for chip companies.

Nvidia and AMD, a massive tech giant and semiconductor manufacturer, respectively have been advised by the government not to sell their Artificial Intelligence (AI) chips to China citing national security issue.

Brief Summary

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has a filed report regarding the aforementioned matter where it has been claimed that US government does not want to take any chances because of China’s sneaky reputation.

us forbids chip sales to china

The Biden government has held talks with Nvidia regarding the requirement of a new license for future exports to China and Hong Kong, because it has a gut feeling that the products will be used by the People’s Liberation Army for nefarious reasons.

The federal government has a strong feeling of a potential risk of the used products being diverted to the Chinese army that will eventually be used by the Communist run country to use to invade into neighbouring countries.

The cost will be around $400 million in potential sales in the first quarter year and the restrictions imposed on Chinese exports will have an adverse impact on Nvidia’s A100 and H100 integrated circuits.

Nvidia is working it out with China as they are in touch with their customers based there regarding their future purchases of alternative products. The company has made it apparent that they might seek licenses in those places where replacements are insufficient.

AMD is facing the same issue as their MI250 integrated circuits to China shipments have now been hampered although their MI100 integrated circuits are not as impacted by the new regulations imposed by the US federal government.

Expert Opinion

Popular analysts and tech experts from China have given their two cents on the ban imposed by US on chip sales by Nvidia and AMD. When it comes to patent filing for Artificial Intelligence, China is miles ahead of other countries while the restrictions on chip sales will secure the lead for US in the AI domain.

Investors are worried that the US federation may increase the restrictions on more and more chips that will have a negative impact on server-concerned products but suppliers like TSMC won’t have to bear that much of a brunt due to sales restrictions.

The major impact of the ban on Chinese exports will be experienced later but as of now Joe Biden has banned Nvidia and AMD from exporting AI chips to the enemy nation because its main concern is national security.

All said and done, only time will tell what the long term impact will be and whether it will be of relevance to China.

Technological advancements are here to make our lives easier every day with new updates and features being added to our favourite gadgets and applications. Another such advancement is Fintech company Paytm’s latest payment mechanism, the Tap to Pay feature that lets you make easy NFC payments through your bank accounts using your smartphones.

Similar to Samsung Pay and Google Pay, this technology allows its users to make easy payments during retail or otherwise purchases at Point of Sale (PoS) machines via NFC. Such payments do not need the physical presence of your debit or credit cards at the time of payment. The Paytm Tap to Pay feature works without an internet connection making it a feasible way of payment in a situation when your mobile network connectivity is weak.

Apart from being a hassle-free payment method, using the NFC payment mechanism also ensures cyber safety. It should be appreciated that because of card-free payment enabling, the users now would not have to share their card details at every outlet, which runs the risk of compromising the privacy of the users.

As for iOS users, Apple has locked the NFC payments for Apple Pay only so anyone using an iPhone would not be able to use this feature on the Paytm app. Apple Pay is yet to be launched in India.

To be able to utilise this card-free payment method, users will have to add their bank cards to the Paytm app. As a next step, the tokenisation of your bank card will be completed online so that it can be used on payment machines. Users can follow the below-mentioned steps to use the NFC enabled Paytm Tap to Pay services on their android smartphones.

Here’s how to make payments using Tap to Pay on your smartphone:

  1. Unlock your smartphone and make sure the NFC is turned on.
  2. Hold your smartphone close to the PoS machine, near the contactless payment logo.
  3. Do not remove your smartphone until the transaction is completed.
  4. For transactions above Rs. 5000, enter your PIN on the PoS machine.
  5. Check your smartphone screen for a message informing you of a successful transaction.

Here’s how to quickly set up Tap to Pay functionality on the Paytm app:

  1. Update your Paytm app by visiting the Google Play store.
  2. Open the Paytm app, then select Tap to Pay.
  3. Tap Add New Card at the bottom if you do not have any cards saved.
  4. Enter your card details on the next screen, and tap Proceed to Verify Card.
  5. Make sure to read and accept the card issuer’s Terms of Service.
  6. Enter the One Time Password (OTP) to complete activation of Tap to Pay.

The Paytm Tap to Pay feature can be used at various locations including retail outlets and grocery stores for purchases and other types of payments. All that is needed is an NFC-enabled card payment machine at these outlets.
