System-on-Chip Design

In Brief

International Business Machines (IBM) Corporation is a name that everyone is familiar with, which is one of the biggest multinational tech corporation not just in America but throughout the globe, with its operations in more than 170 countries, which is enough to speak of its stature.

It has come out with many creative and innovative discoveries in the tech field for many years and continues to grow in terms of relevance with each passing day, apart from providing many employment opportunities to youngsters.

Software engineers and tech savvy individuals that have a flare for electronic gadgets and their learning constantly aspire to work in IBM as many of them consider it a privilege of working in such a massive tech giant and earn rich dividends, aside from learning new things every now and then.

People that aspire to showcase their software skills find IBM to be one of the best platforms where they can show their creativity and innovation in the field of technology and electronics in more ways than one.

The latest news going about is that IBM Research has introduced an Artificial Intelligence Unit (AIU), which is being termed as a system-on-chip that is designed to work in a more efficient manner than a General- Purpose Compact Processing Unit (CPU).

The era of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is just around the corner, while some academicians feel it is upon us and the full credit goes to the constant toil that researchers went through for more than a decade that played a key role in developing contemporary AI that we know of today.

The researchers that have been working on AI for quite some time now have concluded that it is important to train a deep learning model so that humans, animals, and inanimate objects can be recognized in new images, which requires days and weeks of brute-force computing over millions of such images.

Deep learning has now expanded from being a mere model for image recognition to now doing hundreds of other necessary activities, some of which include language translation, finding X-Ray malignancies, among others, whereas earlier it was confined to identify images of animals and objects.

There have been certain breakthroughs in the AI field since the past few years although they all have their own problems like computational power, which is one of the prominent ones that requires looking into.

This is why IBM Research AI Hardware Center is toiling hard for creating a strong and dedicated computer AI chip for which its research has been groundbreaking. The tech giant has named the chip Artificial Intelligence Unit (AIU).

CPU has been a mainstay when it comes to traditional computing even though there have been significant transformations in deep learning models that have given rise to computing in its present state, while applications for general-purpose software suits well to the flexibility of CPUs.

It needs to be mentioned that deep learning models have been used for rendering video game graphics on GPUs and CPUs for more than a decade even though the processor is used for various purposes like optimization of the numerous vector and matrix multiplication operations required in deep learning.

IBM has also revealed that the AI Chip was not created from the scratch and is simply a scaled down version of an AI accelerator like Telum processor from IBM, while there is are 32 cores in the AIU that resemble AI core in the latest z16 system chip from Telum.

Conclusion

It is well known that IBM has been working on this chip for a considerable amount of time, which can sometimes lead to an increase in costs and labour for developing and maintaining the deep learning models so to manage things smoothly, IBM had established the AI Hardware Center in 2019.

Now with the creation of AIU, IBM is very close to accomplishing its goal and hopes to create AI models that are thousand times quicker by 2029 for which it has created a blueprint so that it is completed on time.

Team My Mobile

November 9, 2022

The latest tip on iQoo 11 and 11 Pro claims that both smartphones will have fast charging support, a feature different from the detailed specifications revealed previously. iQoo is expected to launch the iQoo 11 and iQoo 11 Pro smartphones in China by the end of this year. If market speculations are to be believed, both smartphone variants may also witness an India launch very soon. However, the brand has not made any details of the launch public and the specifications revealed are also based on multiple leaks of these smartphones. iQoo previously did not have an official launch of the iQoo 10 series in India and rather choose to rename and release the primary iQoo 10 various as iQoo 9T 5G instead.

Popular tech blogging website 91Mobiles in its recent reporting based on input from tipster Digital Chat Station said that the vanilla iQoo 11 could come with a 5,000 mAh battery complemented with a 120 W fast charging. On the other hand, the iQoo 11 Pro battery would most likely have a little smaller 4,700 mAh capacity paired with 200W fast charging support. For those who are unaware of the last iQoo launch, both the iQoo 10 and iQoo 10 Pro launched previously this year also came with fast charging support of 200W and 120W, respectively.

If tipsters’ words are to be considered, both these iQoo smartphones are all set to witness an India launch anytime now. Eager users can expect to have the India launch around the same time as the smartphones will be launched in the Chinese market. Leaks also claim that the primary iQoo 11 will carry the model number I2209 and the iQoo 11 Pro variant will have I2212 as its official model number. As per some Chinese tech blog reports, the China models of the iQoo 11 series have been awarded a 3C certification.

Moreover, the vanilla iQoo 11 may also be packed with a 6.78 inch E6 AMOLED panel display. The smartphone can have Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC and also a triple rear camera setup with 50 megapixel rear camera along with a 16 megapixel selfie camera. The handset will also be supported with up to 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of onboard storage.

As for the iQoo 11 Pro variant, the leaked iQoo 11 Pro specifications detail that it could adorn a 6.78 inch Samsung E6 2K LTPO display and also have a 144Hz refresh rate for better performance. Tech experts believe this smartphone would pack a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC. It should be noted that all these iQoo 11 Pro and iQoo 11 specifications are based on the recent leaks and report roaming in the media. The 11 Pro variant will also feature a 50 megapixel Sony IMX866 main camera, a 50 megapixel ultra-wide camera sensor along with a complimentary 14.6 megapixel camera telephoto sensor on the back.

A MySmartPrice report about the leak also states that both smartphone are likely to sport the new V2 ISP chip. This could very well improve the lowlight camera performance as well as portrait shots for the users. Both devices that are being launched in the Chinese market are supposedly will be running on Android 13-based Origin OS Ocean. In India, on the other hand, both smartphone variants will come with Funtouch OS 13 out of the box.

Apple Keeps Track

Apple is one of the biggest tech giants in the world that has acquired a stature that is difficult to match and it is due to the likes of the late Steve Jobs that the company is one that many of its consumers place their implicit trust on, which is not an easy feat.

Apple has rolled out many interesting features in the past few years that have been well received by the general public, which is a necessary prerequisite for any tech giant that they have to constantly look out for their consumers’ interest so as to know what they want.

However, the problem is that sometimes tech giants also earn some notoriety due to certain features and the latest news doing the rounds has proven that. Cyber experts have found out that Apple is keeping a track of customers’ data while they’re browsing their app store.

It appears that Apple is collecting app data of its users and sending a detailed log of how they interact with apps on the App store, which is what cyber researchers have clarified in a recent news report, while they’ve also added that Apple is tracking the app store since iOS 14.6 was launched in May 2021.

It has not yet been specified as to why Apple is collecting data analytics for iOS 16 as the app store is apparently sending data even when the personalized ads option has been turned off.

Signal App Comes Out with New Feature

It is a well-known fact that WhatsApp is the most popular messaging app we have in this day and age that has held on to the position for more than a decade despite receiving stiff competition from the likes of Telegram and Signal.

Nonetheless, the latter two have their own relevance when it comes to messaging applications that are quite popular among its users and a big reason for it is because they, like their erstwhile counterpart, rolls out upgraded features at regular intervals for the users to enjoy.

Signal App too has come out with a new Stories feature for both Android and iOS devices, which is expected of the encrypted instant messaging service. Although the Stories feature is more associated with WhatsApp and Instagram, Signal has decided to add it on to their features as well as many users have been requesting for it for a long time.

Signal users will now be able to share their stories to anyone in their contact list, provided they’ve had a 1:1 conversation with a Signal user even if he isn’t added to the contact list, aside from those whose message request has been accepted by Signal.

Users will also get the liberty to manually hide their stories from specific people and share stories with a small subset group of people, apart from getting an opportunity for creating their own custom format so as to keep track on users that have viewed their stories.

Delhi Govt Launches Updated ‘one Delhi’ App For Frequent Travellers

Team My Mobile

November 9, 2022

As it was rightly estimated by the analyst that after successfully overcoming and managing the sudden outbreak of The Covid-19 disease, services around the world will increase by ‘n’ numbers and that is exactly what is happening. The working population has again started working from the office and the students are again travelling incessantly to attend their offline lectures. This coming back of conventional normal norms with some obvious precautions pushed the Delhi government to revamp their ‘One Delhi’ app. What would be better for the regular bus travellers to exhaust a little less to track their bus and to know the authenticity of their preferred route? To cut down this exasperated art of navigating the bus across Delhi the idea of the ‘One Delhi’ mobile app was established in 2019 by the Delhi government with the support of the Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Delhi., this prototype however needed some obvious updates and rectifications. x The Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal states that this initiative is also a practice to escalate the country’s transportation system to international standards.

It was reported on November 2nd, that the Delhi government has launched the revamped rendition of the app, where Transport Minister of Delhi Kailash Gahlot, led from the front. This all-in-one app was conceived practically two years ago to resolve all the basic challenges faced by the Delhi population daily while navigating the track for their route-associated public vehicle that is hindering their ‘can be possible!’ reliable, easy, and timely commute system. The ‘One App’ Delhi entails all the details significant or maybe trivial to frequent travellers in Delhi about the bus route and its payment method. This app confirms the easy availability of installation on both Android and iOS devices as the majority of the population residing across this metropolitan city has access and literacy to operate a smartphone.

The unlikeliness between the metro system and the other public transportation system in Delhi is nearly unmissable. How the slightly unorganised manner of commuting details frustrates frequent travellers made this app and its added updated features the need of the hour, before the other public transportation systems become unreliable for the regular commuters. If your next bugging question is, What extraordinary to expect from this app? Then it can be answered quite positively as this app will help on many tangents, including to aid in providing reliable assistance to bus travellers in organising their journey. Additionally, this mobile app has a feature that involves live tracking of around 7,000 buses and discovering the exact waiting time of the buses before arriving at a particular bus stop.

Conclusion

The Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal and his team perceived and worked on the idea of providing a one-stop platform to their people a convenient way of booking any public transport, excluding Metro with an ease of a single click, with the rise in digitization and understandability rate among the public regarding the basic app for regular use.

Elon Musk Blames Activist Groups Pressurising Advertisers for “Massive” Drop in Twitter’s Revenue

Team My Mobile

November 8, 2022

It is becoming quite a task to keep up with the news about ‘Twitter’ and ‘Elon Musk’. Last we checked, Twitter is now owned by Elon Musk, followed by the next headlines addressing that the new CEO has just fired most of the now ex-employees of twitter. When we were only wondering, what can be the next development hitting the news from Twitter and its owner, it was known that advertisers are withdrawing their contracts with Twitter which eventually resulted in a halt in the advertising campaigns, for which Elon Musk tweeted and accused the activist groups to pressurise the advertisers for the ‘massive’ drop in twitter’s revenue. He also added that the company had done everything in their power ‘to appease the activists’, he further without mincing his opinion regarding the current diminishing situation stated that it was “extremely messed up, they’re trying to destroy free speech in America.”

Before jumping the gun and forming our opinion let’s just see the scenario by stepping two steps away. In the scheme of things, Twitter laid off half of its staff which made the valuable advertisers sceptical of their standing in the market. The advertisers are unsure of the restructuring of this social media platform, and they find putting a hold on the campaign’s activities would be a safe step for them. Already flabbergasted by the number of layoffs precisely from emails overnight is certainly compelling the advertisers to judge the scenario according to their profitability potential. It can be said maybe this hot to trot treatment of laying off employees inching to 37 thousand is making big advertising agencies, including Audi, GM, Volkswagen, pulling back and pausing the advertisement bits for a while. How can this impact the twitter company? The impact is assumed to be adverse in this case and why wouldn’t it be, with content moderation practice, by this practice of monitoring the content and application of numerous sets of rules. Moreover, the scenario can put the company into a tight spot with a decline in the revenue rate in the past quarters of the year. Now the actions of the current owner, Elon Musk while operating this private company and advertisers pulling back will surely not generate any revenue that they might as well need for propelling the company in future.

Conclusion

Twitter is counted among the leading social media platforms that is lately owned by Tesla’s owner Elon Musk. That followed by some news, amidst this entire fiasco, the thing that is suffering is the dropping revenue of Twitter. As it is earlier discussed here, this situation will leave a bitter revenue generating experience for the company. As the pulling back of dubious advertisers with the idea of possibly less surplus primary interest in their mind perhaps be an element to worry and Elon Musk is blaming the activists in compelling them to pause the campaign.

Elon Musk Twitter Takeover: Users Quit Platform

Team My Mobile

November 8, 2022

Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover is a story for the history books. Since the day the man showed interest in the company for the first time, the twist and turns in the chain of events will put the most talented screenwriters in Hollywood to shame. Every chapter of this saga is dramatic. Otherwise, who would have thought that we will get to see the world’s richest man storming into the headquarter of the world’s most popular microblogging service with a kitchen sink in his hand? The visuals were newsworthy and rightfully grabbed headlines across the world. But how has the takeover been shaping since then? The first noticeable change, something that many Twitter users claimed right from the day Musk expressed interest in the platform, was that many users are quitting Twitter.

Like every other discussion in society nowadays, Musk’s Twitter takeover is also an extremely polarising subject. Many Twitter users strongly feel that this regime change will eventually lead to the death of the platform as the man at the helm is adamant to destroy the platform’s utility. The number of people who are standing behind Musk and supporting his self-proclaimed quest of promoting absolute free speech. Musk, who was quick to write in his bio “Chief Twit,” on the other hand has answers to everything in the form of a meme.

Musk’s radical plan of revamping the platform has some interesting changes lined up to keep Tweeples engaged, if not anything else. Right from charging a monthly fee for a Twitter blue tick to coming up with ways for Twitter users to directly earn for content creation from the platform, Musk has plans. However, these plans till now haven’t been able to work as an incentive for people who are leaving Twitter to stay on.

In over a week since Elon Musk’s ownership of Twitter was finalised, the social media platform reportedly lost more than a million followers. Christopher Bouzy, the founder of the bot tracker and anti-disinformation platform – Bot Sentinel, said, “We have observed an uptick in people deactivating their accounts and also Twitter suspending accounts.” According to an MIT Technology Review report, analysed by the researchers of Bot Sentinel, “around 877,000 accounts were deactivated and a further 497,000 were suspended between Oct. 27 and Nov. 1. That’s more than double the usual number.”

Those leaving Twitter include many celebrities as well such as Actor Mick Foley, Model Gigi Hadid, Singer Sara Bareilles, and show-creator Shonda Rhimes. These people are joining other social media platforms such as Reddit, LinkedIn, Tumblr, CounterSocial, and Discord. Some of the users claim that these other platforms can work as a perfect alternative to Twitter. However, one platform that is gaining more traction compared to others during this mass social media migration is – Mastodon.

In the past four days, Mastodon has gained over one lakh followers. Founded by German-born Eugene Rochko, Mastodon is not one single platform but a collection of many independently run servers under one roof. This means Mastodon allows its users to create their own independent servers for communication and they cannot be forced to follow any pre-defined content moderation. According to Rochko, he started coding for Mastadon in 2016 after he turned “disillusioned with Twitter.” Rochko has been quoted in the international media saying that his sole intention behind building Mastodon was to have a short blogging platform not controlled by one corporation.

EU Telcos Suggest Big Companies Pay Network Costs; Details Inside

November 8, 2022

Highlights

GSMA is coordinating a proposal that speaks to Big Tech contribution
A letter will be sent to EU industry chief Thierry Breton in coming weeks
Australia’s recent laws have emerged as favoured weapon for telcos

Brief Summary

How many times do you use Google, Facebook, Instagram, and other social media platforms every day? They have become a necessary and inseparable part of our life, which is why we have become totally dependent on them.

The social media revolution happened in the mid-2000s where the likes of Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube quickly took the world by storm, while Google was an old player in the game and continues to hold fort.

Google is the number one search engine that we have today, while Facebook and Instagram is the proverbial platform for people of different age groups to although the latter more of a millennial bastion.

There is a reason why big tech companies like Google and Facebook are where they are because of their ability to hold sway over billions of people at the same time, whilst their popularity continues to grow with the passage of time.

The latest news doing the rounds is that most of these big tech companies have been asked to pay network costs by European Telecom Operators or EU Telcos, while they’ve asked the European Union to implement new laws to facilitate the same.

It seems that EU Telecom wants to follow the example set by Australia, where US tech firms have to pay adequate network costs, due to which its telecom operators are lobbying hard for the terms to contribute financially as companies like Google, Facebook, Instagram, Netflix, among others, continue to use a major part of the internet traffic of other countries.

The Global System for Mobile Communications Association (GSMA) has asked all the big tech giants to contribute richly to European Infrastructure Investment for which a letter will be sent to the EU industry chief in the coming weeks.

Alphabet and Meta, who own Google and Facebook, respectively, have already been notified about the same and have been asked to take quick action on the matter as EU telcos want them to make their investments in the European infrastructure given the internet traffic they use via their organizations.

Conclusion

The big tech giants have not commented anything as yet on the matter as they’ve been asked to pay for online news content as EU telecom operators feel that it is an attempt to encourage these companies and news publishers to come to an agreement as they will eventually be compelled to go for this last resort procedure.

It will be interesting to see as to how things turn out for these tech giants in the end and whether they will follow through on the demands of the EU telcos, which also has backhand support on the matter.

Review: Apple Watch Series 8

Team My Mobile

November 8, 2022

The Apple Watch has been dominating the smartwatches segment with its feature rich collection since the brand’s arrival on the scene in 2015. Since then many brands, premium or entry level, have entered the smartwatches category but Apple has been able to maintain its niche by combating all the competition. The Apple Watch Series 8, officially out in the market globally since September 2022, has also managed to capture enough market frenzy thanks to its advanced display design, evolved health features, and enhanced metric accuracy. Here’s a quick Apple Watch Series 8 review.

In the Apple Watch box, users get the Apple Watch Series 8, a USB-C Apple Watch charging cable, and all necessary documentation. The watch is designed keeping in mind the aesthetic sensibilities of all customer segments and age groups. Although the company has changed the Apple bands and cases multiple times over the years, interestingly the Series 8 lineup remains traditionally simple. The watch has a glass front, ceramic/sapphire crystal back and aluminium frame (a variant in stainless steel is also available). The Series 8 is available in global markets in two different case materials, one is aluminium and the other is stainless steel. The aluminium material is excellent for everyday smartwatch users by meeting the standards of both professional and casual looks.

The process of setting up the smartwatch for use is standard and similar to the previous generation watches launched by the brand. The setup process needs an iPhone 8 or newer version for setting up. It also required iOS 16 or later software versions installed in the device for setting up the watch. To start with, pair the watch with the iPhone. This can be done by lining up the iPhone’s camera to the watch’s screen. Users can also choose manually pair it.

The Apple Watch Series 8 price in India starts at ₹41,900. And before we move on to some of the standout Apple Watch Series 8 features, let’s take a look at some of the pros and cons.

Pros

Software improvements that provide some cool new features for fitness geeks
Good GPS and heart rate accuracy for better health analysis
Ovulation tracking via the temperature sensing technology is an extremely thoughtful addition to the Apple Watch Series 8 that women should love

Cons

Short battery life, just as was noticeable in the previous generation Apple Watches
Not much change or upgrades from the last year’s launched Apple Watch Series 7
Apple Watch Series 8 price in India is much more than almost all competitive products available in the market

Now let’s move on to the in-depth analysis of some major Apple Watch Series 8 specifications worth talking about.

Apple Watch Series 8 has smaller screen borders compared to any other competitive product in the market. Although Apple doesn’t reveal the exact screen size in inches, it can safely be assumed to be somewhere around 1.73 inches. The 45 mm Apple Watch Series 8 is humongous and can almost feel like you are wearing a computer on your screen. This automatically makes the 41 mm version stands out better with its less nerdy size. On the whole, the watch is comfortable as a nearly 24/7 wearable. The Sport Band in fluoroelastomer shades has a much more stylish and comfortable feel than an average silicone strap.

With the Apple Watch Series 8, the tech giant joins the league of smartwatches with temperature sensing technology. For the past few years, temperature sensing technology in smartwatches has been a growing trend with many premium smartwatch manufacturing brands foraying into the territory. The segment is already occupied with options for customers including Amazon’s Halo band, Fitbit Sense, Oura Ring, and Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 5. This is definitely something to look forward to for people waiting to upgrade their Apple Watch with the new launch from the brand collection. Thanks to Covid-19, this technology where your temperature fluctuations can be tracked through your smartwatch isn’t just a check-the-box feature anymore.

If temperature sensing technology is not enough of a pull for you to upgrade from your current Apple Watch, especially if you are already wearing the Apple Watch Series 7 that looks almost the same, the Apple Watch Series 8 have some more upgrades to entice you. The Apple Watch Series 8 comes with improved gyroscope and accelerometer motion sensors. These two combined with the temperature sensing technology is taking steps one step further for anyone wearing the watch. The Apple Watch Series 8, with all its capabilities, is now designed to detect car crashes and also automatically make SOS calls in case of an emergency faced by the wearer. Many seasoned tech bloggers have claimed in their product reviews that the future of these technological sensor upgrades appears extremely bright for Apple Watch users. This could go in various directions in the future with temperature data being used for deeper insights or health assessment.

However, every sensory upgrade and advancement seems less impactful when seen with its combination of not-so-upgraded battery life. The Li-Ion 308 mAh non-removable battery with wireless charging options doesn’t instil much confidence for the user to consider Apple Watch Series 8 to be suitable for long period temperature tracking or even overnight sleep. However, the watch does support a low power mode which when enabled can shut down some of the functions in order to extend the battery life.

One of the most exciting parts of the Apple Watch Series 8 is the software upgrade that features the watch with a number of great applications. The WatchOS 9 adds to the newly launched smartwatch some cool features including a compass app in order to track steps through GPS, medication tracking technology, multistage sleep tracking and much more.

Overall, there is no doubt that this is a great health and fitness watch with some noticeable upgrades. However, if you want to know whether Apple has tackled the old issues of battery then the answer might not please you.

However, over the years, things have not been too smooth for these platforms as they’ve also been embroiled in controversies of many kinds with the latest one involving Cloudtail India, a renowned Amazon Seller, as The Central Consumer Protection Authority (CCPA) has accused it of selling pressure cookers on Amazon in violation of Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).

The Government Body has imposed a fine of Rs.1 Lakh on Cloudtail India where it has demanded the seller to recall 1,033 pressure cookers and to reimburse the money to all its customers.

CCPA has also issued an order against Cloudtail India citing violation of consumer rights and unfair trade practices as it has sold domestic cookers and therefore has violated mandatory standards by doing so.

All the standards have been prescribed under The Domestic Pressure Cooker (Quality Control) Order, 2020, where CCPA has accused most of the aforementioned e-commerce platforms of violating mandatory standards and has issued suo-moto action against them.

Cloudtail India, on its part, has given its reply to the CCPA that it has suspended pressure cooker imports after the Quality Control Order (QCO) came into force, while CCPA countered back that while the import has been suspended, Cloudtail continues to sell pressure cooker to consumers and therefore been fined.

CCPA has ordered Cloudtail to submit a compliance report on the matter within the next 45 days as it feels that violating mandatory standards of QCO, Cloudtail and other platforms have endangered public safety by making consumers vulnerable to injuries that could lead to loss of life.

Conclusion

For its part, CCPA has decided to issue safety notices to consumers so as to caution and alert them against buying goods and products that don’t have a valid ISI mark and also violate BIS standards as mentioned above.
