TechNews - Frameless Monitor with Swarovski - tech|
| (hx) 10:42 PM CET - Feb,02 2017 |
My dear readers, I'm having heart surgery tomorrow. So I won't be able to update Gameguru until Monday/Tuesday (6th/7th Feb) next week. So please be patient with me :-)
- NVIDIA Game Bundle Activation Clarification - First and
foremost is that you will have to have GeForce Experience
running on the PC you are wanting to activate the game on. Of course
for GeForce Experience to work, it will require you have an NVIDIA GPU
installed. If your free game came with a GTX 1070, it will require that
a GTX 1070 (or better) be installed during activation. Game
coupon
codes that are bundled with a qualifying GPU or PC purchase are
intended for use by the purchaser. Repurposing the code is a violation
of the bundle’s terms and conditions. As part of the coupon redemption
process, NVIDIA uses GeForce Experience to perform a hardware
verification step to ensure the coupon code is redeemed on the system
with the qualifying GPU. Terms and conditions state that a valid
bundle redemption must be tied to a qualifying GPU purchase. If the
game is separated from the GPU purchase, this becomes a violation of
the terms and conditions and NVIDIA wouldn't be able to offer the game.
- AOC Announces Frameless Monitor with Swarovski Crystals - The
more expensive of the two monitors comes with a rose gold base as well
as a rear embedded with Swarovski crystals. When it comes to stylish
computer hardware in general and displays in particular, it is not
always easy to get something that is both aesthetically attractive and
technologically advanced. High-quality backlighting requires space, and
full-size connectors make devices thicker too, so sleek designs usually
have certain compromises. AOC
attempted to combine style and technology in its Q2781-series
monitors, if having crystals on your monitor is your thing. The
displays are based on AH-IPS panels featuring a 2560×1440 resolution
suitable up to 350 nits brightness, a 1000:1 contrast ratio, 178°/178°
viewing angles, a 5 ms response time and a 60 Hz refresh rate. The
manufacturer claims that the Q2718PQ and the Q2718PS displays can
reproduce 16.77 million colors, and also claims "full sRGB" (but we
would cautiously call it 99%).
- LG 34UC79G 34-inch Ultra-Wide FreeSync Monitor Review - The
great thing about this new LG is that no corners have been cut. We don't consider its 2560x1080 resolution to be a
negative. While we wouldn’t complain if the same performance were
available at 3440x1440, the fact is you'd be hard pressed to replicate
the gaming experience we had on a screen with that higher pixel count.
To us, gaming performance has to start with proper motion processing.
While some may cry for greater resolution, we think the 34UC79G goes
far beyond ''just fine'' the way it is. A lower pixel count means
higher framerates which translates to smoother motion and better
gaming. Coupled with the best contrast we’ve yet seen from an IPS panel
and you’ve got a near-perfect gaming monitor. The 21:9 aspect ratio and
gentle curve just seals the deal in our book. If you’ve been waiting
for a price drop in this category, it's here. First the AOC C3583FQ and
now the 34UC79G; more choices and better monitors, sounds like a
win/win.
- Intel Shipping Optane Memory Modules to Partners for Testing -
Intel
Optane and 3D NAND SSDs, coupled with Intel DIMMs based on 3D
XPointTM technology will enable outstanding, cost-effective data center
performance, completely transforming today's storage media pyramid. The
hot and warm tiers will be greatly expanded, unleashing new levels of
performance and responsiveness for apps and services.
- Microsoft Tells Computer Makers How to Make PCs Cool Again - Microsoft
officials told these vendors that while there are more than
400 million Windows 10 devices in the market (as of September 2016),
its goal remains to have "one billion people loving Windows 10 every
single day." Microsoft acknowledged last year it's behind its own
self-imposed goal of reaching 1 billion by mid-2018, but it's not clear
by how much. The way Microsoft believes it can get to this goal is to
encourage partners to make a "few big bets" together with the Redmond
company. These bets are familiar ones: The Universal Windows Platform,
which enables developers to write apps, drivers, and services that can
scale across Microsoft's complete Windows portfolio (PC, tablet,
phones, Xbox, embedded devices); a constantly updated version of
Windows; and "incredible modern devices" that will replace the more
than 600 million Windows devices currently in market that are more than
four years old.
- Samsung Galaxy S8 To Have "Infinity" Display - The two
smartphones are codenamed
Dream and Dream 2, representing the smaller and larger Galaxy S8
respectively, according to two sources. Both versions will have screens
that curve down at the left and right sides of the device similar to
the Galaxy S7 Edge, two sources have said. The so-called "infinity
display" will cover the majority of the front of the device, with very
little body on the top and bottom of the screen not dedicated to the
display. Two sources said there wasn't even room to put a logo or brand
name on the front of the device. Samsung has moved the fingerprint
scanner to the back of the device, multiple sources said. The Galaxy S8
will have a traditional 3.5mm headphone socket, according to several
sources.
- Apple Releases iOS 10.2.1 to Fix Bugs - Apple has made
available the public build of iOS 10.2.1 to the iPhone and iPad.
According to Apple, iOS 10.2.1 fixes bugs and improves the security of
its smartphones and tablets. Apple recommends all users install the
update. Apple also released watchOS 3.1.3, tvOS 10.1.1, and macOS
Sierra 10.12.3. These releases all resolve small problems and improve
performance
- iOS 10.3 Beta 1 Adds 'Find My AirPods' Tool - Apple
has released a slew of new beta builds for its various operating
systems. iOS 10.3 beta 1 for the iPhone and iPad adds one significant
new feature called Find My AirPods. With it, people can locate their
AirPod headphones by forcing the ear buds to emit a loud, high-pitched
sound. Apple didn't call out any other new features within iOS 10.3
other than a few minor tools for developers. Apple also released first
beta builds of macOS Sierra 10.12.4, tvOS 10.2, and Xcode 8.3. These
builds are for developers and not public testers. Apple typically makes
public betas available a day or two after releasing the developer
builds.
- iCloud Drops iPhone Activation Lock Search Tool - Apple
has removed a tool within iCloud that allowed people to easily
check the Activation Lock status of iPhones, iPods, and iPads.
Activation Lock was introduced as a part of iOS 7's Find My iPhone
feature in 2014. Any iPhone owner who activates Find My iPhone
automatically locks the device to their Apple ID. The idea behind
Activation Lock is to make it so stolen iPhones can't be activated on
new accounts without first disassociating them from the original
owner's account. iPhones with Activation Lock still in place are
unusable with new Apple IDs, and thus not worth stealing in the first
place. Until recently, iCloud provided an easy tool that allowed
potential iPhone purchasers to check the Activation Lock status of a
device by entering the IMEI or serial number. The tool is no longer
available within iCloud, and the former web site returns a 404 error.
Moreover, Apple has removed the language associated with the Activation
Lock search tool from its support documents. Instead, Apple suggests
potential buyers and sellers work together to ensure iPhones, iPads,
and iPods are properly unlocked and erased before any sale or transfer
takes place. This approach may work between legitimate transactions,
but doesn't help people who've purchased stolen devices.
- Google Open Sources Chrome for iOS - Google
has said it has made an open source version of its Chrome browser
for iOS available to developers. Google says today's news is the result
of year's worth of work. "Due to constraints of the iOS platform, all
browsers must be built on top of the WebKit rendering engine,"
explained Google in a blog post. "For Chromium, this means supporting
both WebKit as well as Blink, Chrome's rendering engine for other
platforms. That created some extra complexities which we wanted to
avoid placing in the Chromium code base." Google has pulled apart the
code for iOS and carefully refactored it into the open-source
repository. Google says developers can take the core code and use it to
compile the iOS version of Chromium just as they already do for Android
and other platforms. Google hopes developers will use the open source
version of Chrome to improve web-based features for Apple's iPhone and
iPad.
- Gigabit LTE - The Path to 5G - The newly introduced Gigabit
LTE standard implemented by Ericsson, Qualcomm, and Telstra, as
well as the Gigabit LTE device embodied in Netgear's Nighthawk M1
Mobile Router, offer a glimpse into the performance we can expect from
future cellular networks. All four companies are dedicated to this
standard and expect wide-spread adoption of Gigabit LTE by the end of
2017 and into 2018. As the infrastructure grows, Qualcomm has an
impressive opportunity with 4GX-capable devices based on its Snapdragon
835 SoC chipset as well as its Snapdragon X16 Gigabit LTE modem chipset.
- Razer Buys Nextbit - Razer, the gaming hardware company,
has announced it
has purchased Nexbit, the cloud-focused smartphone company.
Nextbit's primary product is the Robin smartphone, which relies on a
constantly-syncing cloud connection to manage device storage. The phone
was launched through a Kickstarter campaign in 2015 and reached end
users in early 2016. Nextbit has updated the core platform consistently
over the last 12 months, but has not introduced new hardware. "Nextbit
will operate as an independent division inside Razer, focused on unique
mobile design and experiences," said the company in a statement. "To
put it simply, we'll be doing exactly what we've been doing all along,
only bigger and better." Nextbit says it has ceased selling Robin
smartphones and accessories, but the company remains committed to its
existing customer base. Warranties will be honored for the next 6
months, and Nextbit promises to push out security releases through
February 2018. "Joining up with Razer will allow us to reach much
further," said Nextbit cofounder Tom Moss. Moss will continue to serve
as Nextbit CEO and report to Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan. Terms of the deal
were not disclosed.
- T-Mobile Promo to Refund Smartphone Sales Tax - T-Mobile
has announced
it will refund the sales tax of smartphone purchases. The limited
promotion is available for new devices purchased on a T-Mobile
equipment installment plan and associated with either a T-Mobile One or
Simple Choice Unlimited 4G LTE service plan. After the sale, customers
can fill out a form online and receive a MasterCard gift card for 11.2%
of the purchase price of the device, which exceeds the cost of sales
tax in most cases. T-Mobile says the sales tax refund promotion can be
applied to every phone it sells, and can be used with up to 12 lines.
T-Mobile didn't say how long this promo will be available. Earlier this
year, T-Mobile rolled the cost of monthly service taxes and fees into
its plan pricing in order to simplify billing
- Oculus Sensors are Technically Hackable Webcams - Is
Facebook using your Oculus Rift to spy on you? That's the question
UploadVR is asking after a University of California, Davis
researcher has come forward demonstrating how easy it is to pull image
data off of an Oculus. Oculus is adamant that this is not the case, and
image data is only used for motion tracking and then quickly disgarded,
but who knows? And, in a world where even
Mark Zuckerberg puts tape on his webcam (take a closer look at his
notebook), maybe Oculus or Facebook are not who we should be worrying
about?
- T-Mobile to Give AT&T Switchers Free Year of Hulu - T-Mobile
today further sweetened the pie for former AT&T customers by
offering a free year of Hulu. The
offer is a consolation prize of sorts. In December, AT&T kicked
off a promotion wherein it gave AT&T customers a free year of
DirecTV Now when they switched to T-Mobile. DirecTV Now has experienced
a bumpy launch, collecting numerous complaints from customers who say
the service doesn't work as advertised. T-Mobile said it wants to
protect customers who took advantage of the initial offer. "To make
things right for those new T-Mobile customers, the Un-carrier is giving
everyone who participated in this deal a free year of Hulu — an awesome
streaming service that actually works — on top of their free year of
DirecTV Now," said the company in a statement. T-Mobile says all former
AT&T customers who signed up for a free year of DirecTV will be
eligible for the free year of Hulu Limited Commercials service. The
switchers will be notified with a promo code in the weeks ahead.
- Verizon Rolls Out 1 GB Plan for Non-Phones - Verizon
Wireless today made available a new service plan for connected
devices other than smartphones. The plan costs $15 per month ($10 with
auto-pay) and provides 1 GB of LTE date in addition to unlimited talk
and text for select devices. Verizon envisions the plan will be ideal
for hardware such as tablets, smartwatches, mobile hotspots, connected
security cameras, and gear such as the kid-focused GizmoGadget. The
service plan can stand on its own and doesn't need to be associated
with another line. There is no line-based access charge, but taxes and
fees are not included.
- Verizon Claims You Don't Need An Unlimited Data Plan - If
you think you know your own data habits better than anyone, think
again. Verizon
has gone on record with its new ad, which insists that nobody needs
unlimited data. The revered cellular provider thinks it is being
generous by recommending its 5GB plan, which offers "tons of data" and
costs a modest $55. Funny enough, T-Mobile's CEO took to Twitter and
suggested that Verizon was going through some kind of mid-life crisis,
tweeting that their Miata needed an oil change. (I'm not sure how I'm
supposed to feel about that, since an MX-5 RF is on my radar.)
- AT&T Simplifies International Roaming with $10 Day Pass - AT&T
today made it less
expensive and less confusing to use your AT&T phone overseas.
The company introduced the AT&T International Day Pass, which
provides travelers with unlimited talk and text in over 100 countries.
Moreover, the International Day Pass doesn't charge extra for data;
travelers will have access to their domestic data plan when overseas.
AT&T will no longer charge by the minute, message, or megabyte. The
International Day Pass costs $10 and unlocks access to roaming for a
24-hour period. AT&T says most popular destinations across Europe,
Asia, and Central/South America are included. Under AT&T's old
Passport-branded plans, travelers were required to buy access in large
chunks that still required per-minute voice fees and placed limits on
data. AT&T's new International Day Pass, which now closely mirrors
Verizon's roaming plan, will be available starting Friday, Jan. 26.
- Google Voice Gains New Lease On Life with Massive Overhaul -
Google
today introduced a wholly new version of Google Voice for Android, iOS,
and the web. The calling, voicemail, and messaging platform has been
overhauled from the ground up with a new design, new features, and a
fresh commitment from Google to keep the service updated. Google Voice
now includes separate tabs to help people manage text messages, calls,
and voicemails. Conversations with individual contacts are threaded to
improve ease-of-use. Google Voice adds support for group messaging and
photo MMS, features long absent from the previous version of Google
Voice. These go a long way toward allowing the service to act as a
primary messaging application. Google says it is working with mobile
network operators to add support for RCS to the service down the road.
People who prefer to use Google Hangouts for their messaging services
will need to choose either Hangouts or Voice, as only one can be used
at a time; moreover, Voice will not migrate conversation threads from
Hangouts into Voice. Existing features, such as voicemail
transcription, remain intact, and Voice gains new spam filtering tools
to keep pesky messages out of your inbox. Google says it is rolling out
the new Google Voice in stages. Android devices will receive it first,
with iOS to follow. Google expects all users to have access to the new
Google Voice within a few weeks.
- Brain-computer interface used in study - Scientists have conducted
a trial where they were able to communicate with patients that
suffered from advanced forms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a
condition where people lose the ability to control their muscles. The
trial employed a brain-computer interface that allowed the patients to
reply to questions with a simple 'yes' or 'no' response.
The condition still allows patients to think but prevents them from
talking or moving, and depending on the severity of the condition, eye
movement may also be restricted. The people involved in this study were
the worst-affected and could not move their eyes.
- Supercomputer Outwits Humans In Poker Rematch - An
artificial intelligence called Libratus has beaten four of the
world's best poker players in a gruelling 20-day tournament that
culminated late on Monday. The Brains vs Artificial Intelligence
competition saw four human players – Dong Kim, Jason Les, Jimmy Chou
and Daniel McAulay – spend 11 hours each day stationed at computer
screens in the Rivers Casino in Pittsburgh battling a piece of software
at no-limit Texas Hold'em, a two-player unlimited form of poker.
Libratus outmanoeuvred them all, winning more than $1.7m in chips.
(Thankfully for the poker pros, they weren't playing with real money)
It's a crushing defeat for humanity, but a major milestone for
artificial intelligence.

- Primitive Technology: Bed Shed - This
structure is quick and easy to build. The bed is 1 m above the
ground and provides plenty of area beneath to store fire wood and tools
out of the rain as well as a place to sit and make things. The bed is
comfortable and keeps the occupant off the ground away from ground
dwelling creatures at night. The smoke coming up from the fire keeps
mosquitoes away while providing heat and light reflected back from the
roof. In fine weather the fire can be placed in front of the shed in
the open while during rain the fire can be kept under the shelter to
keep it dry. If room is needed to stand up the bed can be folded up
against the roof and tied to it using cordage. This shed is literally
one half of the standard rectilinear hut I usually build (2m x2m floor
plan, 2m tall ridge line and 1 m high side walls e.g. from wattle and
daub hut and tiled hut videos) and was built to be upgradeable. Later,
the other side of the roof could be added on and then walls of some
kind built around the frame to form a full hut.
