The browser wars could be set for a new battle in the enterprise space following a raft of new updates from Microsoft Edge. The browser has unveiled a host of new additions at the company's Microsoft Build event, including a new "experience" that is targeted purely at workplace users. The new Microsoft Edge for Business experience comes with a whole new look and feel to the browser itself, as well as boosted security protections and even some useful productivity apps to help you get the most out of your working day. Microsoft Edge for Business "To more fully realize our mission to deliver the best browser for business, we’re evolving Microsoft Edge to have a dedicated work experience," the company noted in a blog post. "With the rich set of enterprise controls, security, and productivity features that you’re already familiar with, Edge for Business is designed to help meet the evolving security landscape while empowering users to work effectively." Microsoft says its new approach also looks to solve problems created by hybrid work, where people may use the same device for personal and business use, raising potential security issues for IT teams. This can often lead to the need for supporting multiple browsers on such devices, increasing the risk of cyberattacks and also causing a drop in performance. Microsoft Edge for Business automatically separates work and personal browsing into dedicated browser windows, each with their own separate caches and storage locations, so information stays separate. This means that work-related services such as Microsoft 365 apps or sites requiring your work login will automatically open in the work browser window, whereas other po[CENSORED]rly-used sites will open in the personal window. Users can switch between the two windows thanks to a button on the taskbar, meaning a change is just a click away. These options can be changed at any time, and admins can also enforce certain restrictions if need be. Microsoft Edge for Business is launching in preview for managed devices now, and will be coming to unmanaged devices soon. Elsewhere, the company also revealed the general launch of Microsoft Edge Workspaces, which allow teams of co-workers to collaborate on projects or content in a specially-defined location. The service allows Edge users to share multiple groups of tabs and favorites with colleagues that can be built to accommodate numerous projects and teams. Microsoft Edge Workspaces has only been in preview for some business users up til now, but the company says it will be generally available to all users within the next few months.

AMD and Intel are both seeking to position their processors as the best choice for powering all the new AI frills coming to Windows 11. The dueling tech titans have shared news and press releases about AI acceleration just hours before Microsoft is expected to drop the Windows 11 ‘Moment 3’ update (check our coverage later today). AMD AI Processing Hardware for Consumers AMD reckons that AI is one of the most exciting computing innovations since 3D-accelerated graphics arrived around four decades ago. Like back then, established processing power can attempt to run the newest boundary pushing applications, but a specially designed accelerator will allow people to take fuller advantage of the new features and the experiences enabled. With the above in mind, AMD has already debuted a dedicated on-die Ryzen AI processing block in select new Ryzen 7040 series (Phoenix) processors, which are also notable for being its most advanced mobile APUs, melding Zen 4 and RDNA 3 architectures. Coinciding with the new Moment 3 update for Windows 11, AMD wanted to say that Ryzen AI is designed to support all the new Ai innovations, such as Windows Studio Effects. It explains that the dedicated AI processor enables features like eye contact, automatic framing, and advanced background blur in this camera software. AMD is working closely with Microsoft on providing early access to Ryzen AI developer tools “to bring to life a future of amazing AI experiences on Windows 11.” This is just the beginning of AI innovation in Windows 11, it says. Intel AI Processing Hardware for Consumers Intel admits it doesn’t currently have an AI co-processor in its consumer CPU lineup. However, it says that it is working with Microsoft and others to preview AI-enabled Meteor Lake processors. Meteor Lake, with its chiplet SoC design, will include a built-in neural VPU, which Intel further describes as “a dedicated AI engine integrated directly on the SoC to power efficiently run AI models.” In Meteor Lake’s SoC, the VPU will thus take some of the CPU and GPU AI-accelerator load to deliver a better and more efficient processing balance, or even new capabilities. Interestingly, Intel added that it hopes to ship “millions of units of Meteor Lake with its dedicated AI engine” over the next year. A lot of people have been asking whether Meteor Lake will be mobile-only, and this isn’t cleared up in Intel’s blog post, but it is looking more likely. While Intel also mentioned collaboration with Microsoft for Windows 11 AI enhancements, it has obviously got a little further to go – the hardware is not yet available to consumers. However, like AMD, Intel is enabling developers to “use ONNX Runtime and related toolchains to run their AI models optimally on the Windows platform,” explained Pavan Davuluri, CVP of Windows Silicon & System Integration, at Microsoft. Microsoft’s Windows 11 ‘Moment 3’ update, and other updates due later this year, will leverage AI to deliver improved productivity and a better user experience. One of the biggest new integrations into the OS will be Windows Copilot, arriving in preview from June, offering centralized OS assistance (see video above). Moreover, a new section of the Microsoft Store will be dedicated to AI apps.

Oppo Reno 10 series — comprising the Oppo Reno 10, Reno 10 Pro, and Reno 10 Pro+ 5G — is set to make its debut in China later this week. Ahead of the launch of the three phones, a tipster has leaked renders of the upcoming Reno 10 series of smartphones, giving enthusiasts and customers an idea of what to expect from the handsets. Alongside the renders, live images of the handsets were also leaked, showing the contents of the retail units — these phones will ship with chargers in the box. Meanwhile, the company has also confirmed the camera specifications of the Oppo Reno 10 ahead of its debut. Tipster Evan Blass (Twitter: @evleaks) has leaked live images of the Oppo Reno 10 series in a gold coloured option, along with the retail packaging that includes a charging brick, a USB cable, and a transparent phone cover. Unlike the live images, the leaked design renders show the Oppo Reno 10, Reno 10 Pro, in black, blue and gold colour options, while the Reno 10 Pro+ 5G is shown in black, gold, and purple colour options. In addition to these leaked images, Blass has also shared what appears to be leaked marketing materials that hint at the specifications of the handset. The Oppo Reno 10 Pro series could be equipped with MediaTek's Dimensity 8200 SoC and what appears to the company's MariSilicon NPU. Meanwhile, the high-end Reno 10 Pro+ 5G is said to feature a periscope camera. Meanwhile, the company has also teased the camera specifications of the Oppo Reno 10 series ahead of its debut in China. Oppo says that the Oppo Reno 10 will be equipped with a telephoto camera, while the image shows the phone will also feature a 64-megapixel camera. The company previously teased the camera specifications of the top-of-the-line Oppo Reno 10 Pro+, which will feature a 64-megapixel main sensor equipped with a periscope lens and f/2.5 aperture. The company is yet to reveal the specifications of the handset. Oppo has also confirmed that the Reno 10 series of smartphones will sport 120Hz OLED displays. The vanilla model will be powered by a Snapdragon 778 SoC and support 80W fast charging, while the Reno 10 Pro and Reno 10 Pro+ may feature Dimensity 8200 and Snapdragon 8+ Gen 1 processors, respectively. Both Reno 10 Pro models are tipped to support 100W fast charging.

Windows 11 might be getting the ability to pin widgets to the desktop, and maybe sooner rather than later, as we’ve heard another nugget from the rumor mill to this effect. Windows Latest tells us that it has seen documents that indicate Windows 11 will ‘soon’ introduce this feature, and that the ability will be present for third-party widgets (as well as Microsoft’s own efforts). At the moment, Windows 11’s widgets are confined to their own panel (off the taskbar). With this feature, you’ll be able to stick your favorite widgets on the desktop, enabling you to see them and get at-a-glance info all the time, rather than having to dive into the widget panel. This change has been rumored in the past via Zac Bowden, a respected source of Microsoft-related leaks, who has been claiming widgets will get a new home on the desktop – if you want to put them there – for quite some time now. The most recent rumor from Bowden held that his sources within Microsoft have confirmed that it’s the software giant’s intention, at least currently, to eventually allow Windows 11 users to be able to pin widgets to the desktop. Analysis: This isn’t invasion of the widgets When the topic of widgets on the desktop comes up, you’ll likely be reminded of the gadgets that Windows 7 had – and indeed Windows Vista, going back much further in time. That gives the impression that Microsoft is really turning back the clock with this change, and that’s true to some extent – just remember that having widgets on the desktop isn’t compulsory. The widget panel will remain in Windows 11, and if you want to use widgets only with that, just don’t move any of them onto the desktop. It’s as simple as that, so it’s not like with this change – if it happens – widgets will suddenly be invading the desktop. Whether or not the functionality to pin widgets to the desktop is actually inbound is another question. However, it does seem more likely now we’re getting something of a rush of rumors from different sources. That indicates this is a change that might be in the pipeline soon, as Windows Latest asserts. It also seems more likely to be a move in the cards because Microsoft has been doing a lot of work with widgets recently, making various tweaks, and expanding the size of the panel (in testing). Furthermore, Microsoft has been giving a lot of encouragement to software developers to make their own third-party widgets and bolster the overall ecosystem. So, it appears to be an area the company is focusing on, trying to make it something bigger that plays more of a part in Windows 11 – a goal that would be furthered by the ability to have widgets on the desktop. With the puzzle pieces fitting together fairly neatly in this respect, we’d be surprised at this point if this wasn’t something that turns up in Windows 11 preview builds in the near future.

With two exaflops of performance, the Intel-powered Aurora supercomputer is expected to beat the AMD-powered Frontier supercomputer, currently the fastest in the world, and take the lead on the Top 500 list of the fastest supercomputers. However, due to Intel's continued delays in delivering the hardware, Aurora has not yet submitted a benchmark to the Top 500 committee, so it didn't make the list announced today. Intel shared new details about the system today and announced at the ISC conference that it has delivered 'over' 10,000 operational blades for the Aurora supercomputer — but with the caveat that these aren't the actual blades needed for full deployment. We'll cover the details below. However, Intel says the system will be fully operational later this year and shared benchmarks with Aurora going head-to-head against AMD and Nvidia-powered supercomputers, claiming a 2X performance advantage over AMD's MI250X GPUs, and a 20% gain over Nvidia's H100 GPUs. Intel says it has delivered the silicon for 'over' 10,000 blades — both the fourth-gen Sapphire Rapids Xeon chips and Ponte Vecchio GPUs — to the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF). However, Aurora is designed to operate with Intel's HBM-equipped Sapphire Rapids "Xeon Max" chips, which have been perpetually delayed. Due to those delays, Intel initially began shipping ALCF the non-HBM Sapphire Rapids chips, and the facility began po[CENSORED]ting Aurora with the standard non-HBM Sapphire Rapids as a stop-gap measure. Intel is now providing the faster HBM-equipped Xeon Max chips to ALCF, but not all of the 10,000 blades it promotes as being delivered have the Max chips under the hood. We inquired with Intel, and company representatives confirmed that not all of the blades are equipped with the final Xeon Max silicon. The company tells us that approximately 75% of the blades contain the final Xeon Max revision of the silicon. Presumably, that is the bottleneck that is holding the system back from submitting a benchmark for the Top500 list. The system consists of 166 racks with 64 blades per rack, for a total of 10,624 blades, so the 'over' 10,000 delivered blades are likely enough for the system to be operational — just not at full performance. Intel also shared more specs for the Aurora supercomputer, including detailed specs that you can see in the slide above. With 21,248 CPUs and 63,744 Ponte Vecchio GPUs, Aurora will either meet or exceed two exaflops of performance when it comes fully online before the end of the year. The system also features 10.9 petabytes (PB) of DDR5 memory, 1.36 PB of HBM attached to the CPUs, 8.16 PB of GPU memory, and 230 PB of storage capacity that delivers 31 TB/s of bandwidth (other interesting details are included in the slide above). Intel also revealed that Aurora would begin executing generative AI workloads on a host of workloads. The 'Aurora GPT' large language model will be science-oriented and have 1 trillion parameters with Megatron and DeepSpeed underpinnings. Intel provided the following summation of the project: "These generative AI models for science will be trained on general text, code, scientific texts and structured scientific data from biology, chemistry, materials science, physics, medicine and other sources. The resulting models (with as many as 1 trillion parameters) will be used in a variety of scientific applications, from the design of molecules and materials to the synthesis of knowledge across millions of sources to suggest new and interesting experiments in systems biology, polymer chemistry and energy materials, climate science and cosmology. The model will also be used to accelerate the identification of biological processes related to cancer and other diseases and suggest targets for drug design." Intel also teased a few benchmarks from the Sunspot system, a smaller two-rack version of Aurora with 128 total nodes. Intel compared Sunspot's performance against extrapolated numbers that represent 'similarly-sized' Polaris supercomputer with Nvidia A100 GPUs, and the Crusher supercomputer that's powered by AMD's MI250X GPUs. Unfortunately, Intel did not provide test notes or details of these configurations, so take the results with more than the usual grain of salt. In a test of a single node in a reactor prediction workload, Intel claims its system is 45% faster than the Nvidia contender and 12% faster than the AMD system. Turning to scalability metrics, Intel claims that by normalizing the number of total GPUs used in the test systems to 96 GPUs (the AMD and Nvidia nodes have four GPUs apiece, whereas the Intel system has six per node), Sunspot delivers more than twice the performance of both the AMD and Nvidia systems in the Monte Carlo workload. For 90 nodes in the NWChemEx workload, Intel claims it is 72% faster than a 90-node Nvidia-powered Solaris system. The Aurora supercomputer was first announced in 2015, with a predicted finish date in 2018. Back then, the system was designed to use the Knights Hill processors that were later canceled. The system has seen numerous redesigns and reschedules in the years since, with the new Aurora being announced in 2019 with one exaflop of performance to be delivered in 2021. Yet another rescheduling in late 2021 claimed the system would deliver two exaflops upon completion, which is now slated for later this year. The long and winding road continues, but it does finally appear that the end is at least in sight. Intel tells us it will deliver all of the Xeon Max processors to finish the system soon, and that the system will be complete and submit its first Top 500 benchmark before the end of the year.

Vivo V29 Lite is reportedly in the works. The handset is speculated to debut soon in the global market as well as in India. While the company is yet to reveal anything about the purported smartphone, a tipster has leaked some of the key details of the smartphone, including the display and the camera specifications. The upcoming handset is said to house with a 5,000mAh battery and could run on Android 13 out-of-the-box. The phone is tipped to be powered by a Snapdragon 695 SoC. Tipster Sudhanshu Ambhore (Twitter: @Sudhanshu1414) via 91Mobiles Hindi, has leaked the specifications and features of the purported Vivo V29 Lite. The smartphone could sport a 6.78-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display with 1080x2400 pixels resolution, 20:9 screen ratio, and a 120Hz refresh rate. The phone is tipped to be powered by a Snapdragon 695 SoC coupled with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of onboard storage. The smartphone could be equipped with a 5,000mAh battery with support for 44W charging. The report also suggests that the phone will pack an OIS-supported 64-megapixel primary camera sensor accompanied by a dual 2-megapixel camera sensor. On the front, it could house a 16-megapixel selfie sensor. Additionally, the phone's dimensions and weight have also been leaked. It is likely to measure 7.89x74.79x164.24mm and weighs 177g. Other leaked details are dual SIM connectivity, hybrid SD card slot, Bluetooth 5.1 and WiFi compatibility, and USB Type-C charging port. Recently, specifications and features of Vivo V29e, another member from the purported Vivo V29 series, surfaced online. The phone is speculated to be powered by a Dimensity 7000 Series SoC and a 4,600mAh battery along with support for 80W fast charging. The phone is leaked to pack up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The phone is speculated to debut in Gold, Blue, and Black colour options.

Microsoft has just made a pretty remarkable admission, essentially conceding that it doesn’t have a solution for some Windows 11 problems. As Neowin reports, some people using Windows 11 and Windows 10 have found a bug which prevents the Start menu, Windows search bar and some Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps from starting or working correctly. It appears that the bugs coincide with damaged registry keys and data related to Microsoft Office apps, and apps that are integrated with Office software, as well as Windows and Outlook. The bugs don’t affect everyone, but those who are encountering them first noticed something wasn’t right back in January of this year. If you were hoping that during that time Microsoft had figured out how to fix the problem, then I have some bad news for you. Giving up? On Microsoft’s ‘Health’ webpage regarding the issue, Microsoft notes that the “Windows search, and Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps might not work as expected or might have issues opening,” and in a recent update it has provided a workaround for the problem. Not only is the lack of a definitive fix disappointing, but the workaround isn’t great, with Microsoft stating that to “mitigate this issue, you can uninstall apps which integrate with Windows, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Calendar.” Essentially, it seems like Microsoft is admitting that it’s as baffled as us by the problem, and that the only way to avoid the issue is to start uninstalling apps. That’s pretty poor, especially as Microsoft doesn’t list the apps that are causing the issue, just that they integrate with “Windows, Microsoft Office, Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Calendar,” which doesn’t narrow it down at all. It’s also not a great solution for people who depend on any of the apps causing the issue, as uninstalling them may not be a viable option. Microsoft claims that it is working on a resolution, and I hope it's able to roll one out that fixes the issue without making users uninstall certain apps. It's concerning, though, that there seem to be areas where Windows 11 (and Windows 10, which is also suffering from this problem) is so broken that Microsoft simply can’t fix it. Operating systems like Windows 11 are complicated pieces of software that have to work with myriad combinations of hardware and software, but this still doesn’t make it any less embarrassing for Microsoft. It also doesn’t give me a huge amount of confidence about Windows 12, which the company is rumored to be working on – I’d rather Microsoft concentrated on fixing the current versions of Windows first.

Chip detective @FritzchensFritz has posted an excellent image comparison between the Ryzen 5 7600 and a Ryzen 7 7800X3D featuring shots taken with an infrared camera. The infrared images show us the inner layers of AMD's Ryzen 7000 and 7000X3D processors, revealing the subtle architectural differences between the different chips. The differences between both CPUs can be difficult to detect at first glance, but once you know what to look for, the differences are obvious. The left CPU in the image represents the Ryzen 5 7600 (and Ryzen 7 7700), while the right represents the Ryzen 7 7800X3D. Looking closer at the Core Complex Die (CCD) of each CPU (the bottom right die), you can see how AMD lays out the core and cache layout in its Ryzen 7000 processors. The four "squares" located on the left and right edges of the CCD represent the eight physical Zen 4 cores located on the chip, while the middle section holds the CPU cache. Even though the Ryzen 5 7600 is a six-core part, you can tell the chip physically has eight cores according to the infrared image. This is because AMD only uses eight-core clusters in its Ryzen chips (for now), and disables cores when needed to make additional SKUs. The middle portion of the CCD represents the CPU cache area, where the L1, L2, and L3 caches are located. This is where obvious changes can be seen between the 7600 and 7800X3D. The 7600 features a normal L3 cache configuration consisting of two 16MB caches unified into one 32MB cluster, while the 7800X3D looks completely different due to the "giant" 64MB slab of cache stacked on top of the bottom 32MB cluster (making it impossible to see the bottom 32MB cluster). You can learn the deep-dive details of this setup in our AMD Shares New Second-Gen 3D V-Cache Chiplet Details, up to 2.5 TB/s article. You can also tell from the infrared image that the stacked 64MB cache partially covers the Zen 4 cores as well, due to the lithography differences between the 7nm SRAM 3D-VCache and the 5nm Zen 4 CPU cores. This is different from AMD's first-generation 3D-VCache CPU, the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, which had an even layer of stacked cache that only covered the bottom 32MB L3 cache cluster, and did not cover the cores, because both the stacked cache and Zen 3 cores featured the same 7nm lithography. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D's uneven 3D-VCache does not affect performance as far as we know, but it did introduce additional engineering challenges for AMD, since it had to move the TSV connectors (powering the 3D cache), from the L3 cache die area on older Zen 3 designs to the L2 cache area on its Zen 4 chips. Ironically the 7800X3D's 3D-VCache chip is actually smaller and denser than the 5800X3D's, however, the 7800X3D's CCD is still too small for its newer 3D-VCache chip to fit within the die constraints afforded to the L3 cache only. For a refresher on AMD's latest 3D-VCache technology, be sure to check out our previous coverage here. But essentially, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, Ryzen 9 7900X3D, and 7950X3D feature AMD's 2nd generation 3D-VCache technology, offering significantly faster and denser vertically stacked cache compared to its predecessor. AMD's 3D cache design helps improve gaming performance and other cache-sensitive workloads by tripling the amount of cache the CPU has access to. This reduces the amount of time the CPU needs to access slower system RAM and keeps more data confined to the faster L3 cache, which improves performance and reduces latency.

OnePlus, at MWC 2023, confirmed that it is working on a foldable smartphone and the first foldable offering from the Pete Lau-led company is confirmed to go official sometime in the third quarter. While the Chinese smartphone brand remains tight-lipped about the specifications of its first foldable handset, a new report suggests that OnePlus Fold and Oppo's upcoming Find N3 smartphone will have a similar design language. Further, the camera unit of the OnePlus Fold could be similar to what we have seen on the Oppo Find X6 which was launched in China in March. The Oppo Find X6 has a 50-megapixel triple rear camera setup. The newly launched Pixel Fold also has a similar book-style form factor. As per a report by 91mobiles, citing known tipster Yogesh Brar (@heyitsyogesh), the upcoming OnePlus Fold will have a book-style folding design and it will look like the Oppo Find N3. The upcoming foldable smartphone will have an identical camera unit to the Oppo Find X6. The camera setup of the outgoing Oppo Find X6 includes a 50-megapixel Sony IMX890 sensor, a 48-megapixel Sony IMX581 lens, and a 32-megapixel sensor. The Oppo Find N3 is reportedly in the works as well, as a successor to the Oppo Find N and Find N2. It is said to come with an 8-inch inner display with a resolution of 2,268 x 2,440 pixels and 120Hz screen refresh rate. Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 SoC is expected to power the Oppo Find N3. It could feature a 20-megapixel selfie camera on the cover display and a 32-megapixel sensor on the inner screen. It is expected to house a 4,805mAh battery as well. At MWC 2023, OnePlus confirmed that it is working on a foldable handset. The Chinese smartphone brand hasn't revealed any information about the foldable since then, but recent leaks are pointing to an August launch.

Windows 11 has run into further problems with a security-related bug that’s scaring users and was supposed to have been fixed recently – but Microsoft has admitted that its cure failed to work, and it has been pulled. This one has a bit of a lengthy backstory, as it were, so buckle up and bear with us as we take you through it to give some context as to what’s happened here. Okay, so the bug in question first appeared when Microsoft pushed out the March 2023 cumulative update for Windows 11 22H2, causing Local Security Authority (LSA) protection to tell users that it was turned off. In actual fact, it had stayed on, the glitch being the error message, rather than LSA itself actually going wrong. Still, some Windows 11 users being told that their device ‘may be vulnerable’ due to the lack of LSA protection, complete with a big yellow warning triangle adorned with an exclamation mark, was obviously going to provoke some concerns. What really didn’t help is that the error persisted continually, even after reboots. Microsoft gave us a workaround at the time – if you can call it that, we were simply told to dismiss the (repeated) error messages, and assured everything was fine with LSA. But a welcome sight was an official fix for this problem arriving at the end of April. That cure for the LSA error blues arrived in the form of an update for Microsoft Defender, but sadly, this brought forth some new bugs – yes, argh – namely driver conflicts, hitting some PC games with crashes (due to anti-cheat software). And now, as Neowin(opens in new tab) observes – while pointing out reports from its own readers of the LSA bug still being present – Microsoft has updated its health dashboard for Windows 11 to admit that the Microsoft Defender fix caused these unwanted side effects, and it has now been pulled. Microsoft tells us: “This known issue was previously resolved with an update for Microsoft Defender Antivirus antimalware platform KB5007651 (Version 1.0.2303.27001) but issues were found, and that update is no longer being offered to devices.” Analysis: Fix with one hand, break with the other So what’s the upshot? The LSA problem remains, and Microsoft is working on a new fix, with the old one stuffed firmly in the bin. Those who have already got the old fix applied (KB5007651), mind you, are kind of stuck with it. Microsoft advises those who are already running KB5007651 (Version 1.0.2303.27001) that they will need to disable Kernel-mode Hardware-enforced Stack Protection. The software giant provides instructions as follows(opens in new tab): “To do this, select the Start button, type Windows Security and select it, select Device Security then select Core Isolation then disable Kernel-mode Hardware-enforced Stack Protection.” We’re not exactly sure that’s an ideal situation on the security front, though. But hey, if it’s Microsoft’s official advice, then it should be fine. Meanwhile, for those still affected by the LSA bug, Microsoft instructs them to go back to that fabulous workaround mentioned previously. Yes, just ignore it, and while it will irritate you by continually popping up, there’s actually nothing wrong with LSA (in distinct contrast to the yanked-down fix which definitely did cause driver-related havoc). This has been a very messy episode for Microsoft, and not one that will especially give Windows 11 users faith that the QA department has a particularly good handle on what’s going on with the OS. Hopefully, a solution that doesn’t break a bunch of other stuff will be forthcoming soon.

If you’re ready to race, you should check out Donkey Car. This open-source Python library makes it super easy to get off the ground with setting up your own driveable car project. Because it’s Python-focused, you can use it with a wide variety of boards ranging from Raspberry Pi to even the Nvidia Jetson range of boards. This platform makes it easy to not only to drive cars remotely but also integrate them with AI systems so they can drive themselves. You can interface with it using a separate computer or device (like a smartphone or tablet) and make the RC car as complex as you want. Long gone are the days of building your own tool from scratch, Donkey Car has plenty of ready-to-go features out of the box that you can build off of to customize your project the way you want. What can you do with Donkey Car Build your own toy car that can drive itself. Drive your car with your phone or laptop. Record images, steering angles & throttles. Train neural net pilots to drive your car on different tracks. Not only can you use the SBC of your choice, you can build the RC car of your dreams. It works with plenty of existing car kits you can find online but you can also make one from scratch. The team at Donkey Car recommends using their Donkey2 setup. It costs around $250 to get all of the components and can be assembled in just a couple of hours. The standard Donkey Car kit is available on the Donkey Car website for $92. It includes a camera, servo driver, 3D printed frame components, as well as screws and jumper wires for assembly. You’ll still need an RC car component, an SBC (like the Raspberry Pi), an SD card, and a battery. While it doesn’t have everything you need, it’s a great starting point. There are also a few chassis made by the brand Exceed that work well with Donkey Car. You can read more about the hardware requirements in the build guide. If you want to read more about this project or maybe even make one yourself, check out the official Donkey Car website. If you’ve already got an RC car project lying around, it might be worth tinkering with to see how well it handles the Donkey Car library.

iPhone 16 Pro will most likely launch in late 2024. Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 15 series later this year before the iPhone 16 lineup sees the light of day. Both series, however, are expected to include four models. It has previously been reported that the iPhone 15 Pro Max model could also launch with the iPhone 15 Ultra moniker. This upcoming series has also been said to feature a camera upgrade never seen in Apple devices before - a periscope lens. Android competitors like Samsung, Google and Oppo use the periscopic lens in some of their high-end phones. A new report now suggests that the periscopic lens will also come with the iPhone 16 Pro model. According to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the iPhone 16 Pro is expected to sport a 'slightly larger' display than the 6.1-inch panels of the iPhone 14 Pro. The iPhone 15 Pro is expected to launch with an unchanged display size. It was previously reported several times that the iPhone 15 Pro Max could feature periscopic lenses to increase the phone's zooming capacity to five or six times and do so with much clarity. Kuo, in his latest report, says that the iPhone 16 series will see the inclusion of this upgraded camera feature also in the lower Pro model. The periscopic lenses will allow the phones to capture high-quality, more zoomed-in images, further than the usual 2 times zoom most cameras support, without any grains or distortions. The periscope lens, much like its name, uses a prism to reflect light to multiple internal lenses at 90 degrees onto the camera sensor. This makes the lens longer than a telephoto lens, ending up delivering better optical zoom. As per the new report, the bigger display tip adds up with the periscope lens tip, allowing for the Cupertino-based tech giant to use enough space to include the lens in the iPhone 16 Pro model. Earlier reports have also suggested that the Pro models of the iPhone 16 series will feature considerably larger display panels than the iPhone 14 Pro models. As per DSCC analyst Ross Young, iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max models are expected to have 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch display panels, respectively. For comparison, iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max have a 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch display respectively.

Microsoft has just fixed one of Windows 11’s neatest features - one that Chief Product Officer Panos Panay called a ‘game-changer’ when it was first introduced back in 2021. The pre-loaded Clock application in Windows 11 has long included a feature that allows you to link up your Spotify account and set it to play specific productivity-focused playlists while you’re employing the nifty Focus Assist feature. However, as previously noted by Neowin, the functionality had been broken for months (since at least February 2023, potentially longer), and despite Spotify trying to rectify the issue, it turned out to be an expired certificate on Microsoft’s end breaking the feature. Users attempting to link their Spotify account to Windows Clock would be met with a blank screen and an endless “Connecting to a service” message. Thankfully, it looks like the problem is now resolved - in part, it seems, due to Neowin’s diligent reporting. When Spotify confirmed that the bug was Microsoft’s fault, Neowin reached out to the Windows creator to report the issue. Lo and behold, a few weeks later, the problem has been fixed; you can now hook up your Spotify account to the Clock app with no difficulties. Microsoft, please love all your children equally However, it looks like the problem is still lingering in Windows 10 - when I tried to connect my Clock app to Spotify on my personal desktop PC (after checking for system updates), I got the same empty white window. Microsoft has been getting more and more aggressive in its efforts to push users to upgrade to Windows 11, but this feels like a spectacular low point. If the problem is something as simple as an expired certificate for Spotify’s API access, why not fix it for both Windows 10 and 11? Look, I don’t hate Windows 11 (although Microsoft’s recent boo-boo over ads in the Weather app did make me chuckle). I use it on my work laptop and it’s fine - in fact, it’s steadily improving, gradually adding great features and gathering pace among users. It’s been on the rise for a while in terms of adoption - a quick look at the OS section of the Steam Hardware and Software Survey shows that Windows 11 is now eating into its predecessor’s share of the PC gaming space with impressive speed. But as my colleague Darren recently said, Microsoft should be using the carrot, not the stick, to boost Windows 11 adoption. I love Windows 10 - why don’t you, Microsoft? It’s one of the best operating systems ever made, and I don’t want to feel forced to abandon it because you’re not willing to fix simple bugs that can be fixed in its successor. It’s also frankly not a good look that it took more than three months - and a direct complaint from a tech news site - to fix such a simple problem. Come on, Microsoft. Oh, and you can stop with all the Bing AI nonsense. If I wanted an AI on my desktop, I’d just use ChatGPT.

A pair of listings on PC-Canada has revealed the price of AMD's upcoming RX 7600 in Canada. One of the listings features a Sapphire Pulse RX 7600 for $451.99 CAD, and the other is $443.99 CAD for an MSI RX 7600 Mech 2x Classic. After converting to USD and factoring in any potential "early adopter tax," we end up with approximate prices of around $299 USD. That's technically less than the launch price of AMD's RX 6600, and well below the RX 6650 XT's $399 MSRP, though these days the various RX 66xx-class GPUs tend to sell far below their launch prices. At first glance, AMD's new RDNA 3 GPU appears to be priced decently. The RX 6600 XT and RX 6650 XT for example launched at $379 and $399, respectively. Looking at the rumored RX 7600 specifications, the 7600 could have the same number of compute units (CUs) as the 6650 XT, and it uses AMD's potentially faster and better RDNA 3 architecture. However, prices have changed drastically since release, with AMD's entire RX 6600-series lineup discounted well below the RX 6600's original MSRP of $330. Current-day prices have the RX 6600 starting at just $200(opens in new tab), while the RX 6600 XT(opens in new tab) and RX 6650 XT(opens in new tab) can be had for around $250-$280. At these highly discounted prices, there's no guarantee the RX 7600 will be a clear upgrade over the RX 6600-series. This is particularly true of the RX 6650 XT, which has the exact same core count as the RX 7600. Clocks, power, and other aspects will certainly factor in, but AMD's RX 7600 has its work cut out for it if it's going to deliver a better value than AMD's existing GPUs. Part of the problem is that, unlike Nvidia's Ada Lovelace architecture, there aren't really any headlining upgrades with RDNA 3 over RDNA 2. Ray tracing performance is a bit better, the number of ALUs per CU has doubled, cache sizes have changed (doubled in some cases, shrunk in the case of the L3). But the biggest news was about AMD moving to GPU chiplets, which as far as we know isn't happening on the Navi 33 GPU that's purported to drive the RX 7600, and chiplets didn't actually do anything to improve performance — they were about saving on cost rather than improving performance, at least for this generation. We'll get a process node shrink, but even that might not mean much, as Navi 33 will likely still be on TSMC N6, based on earlier rumors, and that's just a tuned version of TSMC's N7 node. Of course we have to wait for the launch day reviews before we'll know how good or bad the RX 7600 really is. But there's no denying that the RX 7600 is completely riding on AMD's RDNA 3 architecture to provide a legitimate performance advantage over its predecessors. This isn't confidence-inspiring, considering we have not seen any real innovations with AMD's RDNA3 architecture that makes it substantially better than RDNA 2. By way of our GPU benchmarks hierarchy, the RX 7900 XTX outperforms the RX 6950 XT by up to 40%, which is good, but that's with a 50% wider memory interface, 50% more memory, and 160% more theoretical compute. We can only wonder for now exactly how much more performance (if any) the RX 7600 will offer over the existing RX 6650 XT. The end of the crypto-mining boom has created a lot of problems for the GPU industry in general, coupled with inflation and other challenging macro-economic factors. The fact that AMD appears to be launching RX 7600 ahead of potential RX 7700/7800-series cards says a lot, namely that many unsold RX 6700/6800/6900-class GPUs are still available. Hopefully AMD knows what it's up against and can deliver a compelling reason to choose the RX 7600 over the existing RX 66xx-series GPUs. If not, the RX 7600 could be a hard sell at anywhere close to $300.

Vivo S17 Pro is reportedly in the works. The Vivo S17 series is expected to succeed the Vivo 16 series — which included the Vivo S16, Vivo S16e and Vivo S16 Pro. Similarly, the S17 lineup is likely to include Vivo S17, Vivo S17e and Vivo S17 Pro models. The company has not confirmed any details or even announced the phone officially. Previously, there have been reports surrounding the Vivo S17 Pro which revealed some key specifications. A new leak now suggests camera specifications of the purported handset. A Digital Chat Station post suggested that the Vivo S17 Pro is expected to sport a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766V primary sensor with optical image stabilisation (OIS), an 8-megapixel sensor with an ultra-wide lens and a 12-megapixel Sony IMX663 sensor for portraits, in its triple rear camera unit. The phone was reportedly spotted on the 3C certification website with model number V2284A. A Gizmochina report suggested that the Vivo S17 Pro could launch on June 12. A previous leak suggested that the handset is expected to be powered by an octa-core MediaTek Dimensity 8200 SoC. It is also said to support 80W wired fast charging. The upcoming smartphone is expected to succeed the Vivo S16 Pro, which was released in December 2022. The model is offered in Black and Yan Ruyu (translated) colour options. It is priced at CNY 3,299 (roughly Rs. 39,000) for the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage variant and CNY 3,599 (roughly Rs. 42,600) for the 12GB RAM + 512GB storage variant. The Vivo S16 Pro is powered by an octa-core 4nm MediaTek Dimensity 8200 SoC paired with a Mali G610 GPU and LPDDR5 RAM. The triple rear camera unit of the phone sports a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766V primary sensor with OIS, along with an 8-megapixel wide-angle sensor and a 2-megapixel macro sensor. The phone is backed by a 4,600mAh battery with 66W fast charging support.

Using AI bots to write business letters or generate detailed 4-second videos is so last week. The next frontier is using AI to help you design custom silicon for your projects. That's why Efabless(opens in new tab), a company which makes custom chips to order, is hosting a contest to encourage makers to design their own silicon with the help of AI. Winners of Efabless's AI-Generated Open Silicon Design Challenge (opens in new tab) will have their chips fabricated for free, a process that normally costs just under $10,000 for the company's customers. The contest is open now, with entries needed by June 2nd. How exactly would one use AI to design a chip? Believe it or not ChatGPT and Google Bard are capable of writing Verilog code on command. Verilog an HDL (hardware description language) which can be used in the chip fabrication process as it spells out key details about the digital circuits and registers. When I asked Bard to write me some sample Verilog code, I got this. I don't know enough about Verilog to say whether it's good code or not. Efabless hosts a platform for creating and getting sample sets of open-source chips designed and fabricated. The company has several shuttles a year where customers can have their designs shipped to a fab and returned a few months later. The company's chipIgnite program allows you to use a RISC-V core, an automated design flow and get your choice of 100, 300 or 1,000 engineering samples. After fabrication is complete, you get packaged dies and some of your parts will be put on evaluation boards you can use for testing. You can then use the company's open-source tools to test your design and flash firmware to it. The company charges $9,750 per chipIgnite project. You can also see many of the open-source designs that folks have made with Efabless, on its projects page(opens in new tab). These include a VGA sprite generator, a 10-bit DAC with analog neural network and crypto mining SoC. In order to be eligible for the AI-Generated Open Silicon Challenge, entrants must have at least the Verilog for their chip generated by an AI and must include all of the prompts or auto GPT session logs in the submission. You can, however, do your verification outside of the AI environment. The designs must be open source so anyone can reproduce them and must be implemented using the OpenLane chipIgnite flow. Entries will be judged by a panel of experts with winners announced on June 9, 2023. It's not immediately clear from the rules how many winners there will be. All of the rules and instructions for entry are on the contest's page(opens in new tab).

Nubia Z60 Fold is reportedly in the works as the first foldable smartphone by the ZTE-owned smartphone brand. Ahead of any official announcement, specifications of the purported handset have leaked online. The Nubia Z60 Fold is expected to go official later this year. It is said to come with a 7.3-inch AMOLED foldable display. An unannounced Snapdragon 8 series chipset is said to power the smartphone. The Nubia Z60 Fold could pack 512GB of onboard storage and is expected to be backed by a 5,000mAh battery with support for 100W wired and wireless charging. Tipster Paras Guglani (@passionategeekz), in collaboration with Pricebaba, leaked the launch timeline and key specifications of the Nubia Z60 Fold. As per the leak, the first foldable smartphone from the ZTE-owned brand will be launched in the fourth quarter of 2023 and will be available in at least three colour variants. It is said to come with NX801J model number. The purported Nubia Z60 Fold will reportedly feature a 7.3-inch AMOLED foldable display. Under the hood, it is tipped to carry an unannounced Snapdragon 8 series chipset, coupled with 12GB of RAM. The foldable could be offered in 256GB and 512GB storage variants. It is said to feature a 5,000mAh battery with support for 100W wired charging and wireless charging. Nubia is yet to reveal any details regarding the Nubia Z60 Fold. So, these leaks should be taken with a pinch of salt. Samsung pushed the foldable smartphone into the mainstream with the launch of Galaxy Z Fold in 2019. Vivo, Motorola, Oppo, Xiaomi, Huawei, and Tecno launched foldable smartphones in recent years. Most recently, tech giant Google has marked its entry into the foldable market with the release of the Pixel Fold. The Nubia Z60 Fold is expected to take on the Pixel Fold, Moto Razr 2022, Oppo Find N2 Flip, and upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 5 smartphones among others.

Windows 11 just received a new preview update, and rumor has is that this is the next major upgrade for the operating system – known as ‘Moment 3’ – and it’ll be here in just over a week (kind of – we’ll explain more in a, well, moment). The update in question is build 22621.1776 which has arrived in the Release Preview Channel, the final testing channel before release, as the name suggests. There’s certainly lots going on with this build, but most of it is minor stuff, so if you’ve got your hopes up for big changes, you might be a bit disappointed. That said, there are some important advancements here, particularly with accessibility, where Microsoft has implemented a whole bunch of additions, tweaks and smoothing over. That includes live captions being introduced for a raft of new languages: Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), French (France, Canada), German, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese (Brazil, Portugal), Spanish, and Korean. Various English dialects are also now covered, Irish amongst them. Voice Access – controlling the OS via speech, and dictating text – has also received support for different English dialects (Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, UK). The help page listing commands for Voice Access has also been revamped to better explain the various bits of functionality this feature offers (and that’s plenty). Microsoft has also brought in some new text selection and editing commands, such as the ability to select a section of text starting from one specified word and running to a second word. There are also commands for bolding and italicizing text now. Away from the world of accessibility, we now have Content Adaptive Brightness Control (CABC) on tap to help save power with laptops and 2-in-1 devices, even if they’re plugged in (if you choose this option). As we’ve explained in more depth elsewhere, this feature intelligently dims some areas of the screen to save power with no noticeable difference to image quality (or that’s the theory). Another notable but small addition is the presence of a VPN status icon in the system tray (far-right on the taskbar). This displays when you’re connected to a VPN (or rather, a “recognized VPN profile”), meaning you can tell that you’re safe (and anonymous) when online at a glance, rather than having to look in your VPN app’s main menu. (Not every VPN indicates connection status with its system tray icon, as would be the case ideally). Also in the system tray, Windows 11 users now have the choice to display seconds on the clock. In short, there’s an absolute ton of stuff delivered with build 22621.1776, and if you want to peruse the seriously exhaustive list, have a look at Microsoft’s blog post(opens in new tab) announcement. Analysis: Momentous update is imminent, it seems There are some very convenient touches here such as the VPN status icon, and plenty more such minor but useful tweaks. (They also include new key shortcuts for the context menu in File Explorer, and the ability to copy two-factor authentication codes straight from notifications that pop-up in Windows 11). It’s also great to see accessibility beefed up, as we mentioned, with a bunch of new dialects supported for Voice Access, and the changes with live captions to incorporate a lot more languages. Those who need these features will find them crucial, so better support is hugely welcome. We’re very impressed with Voice Access in general – and the integrated dictation in Microsoft Word – all of which is based on Dragon technology (our favorite for voice recognition) that Microsoft acquired. Returning to the matter of ‘Moment 3’ that we mentioned at the outset, you may be wondering: what makes us think that this build is that particular update? Well, a known Twitter leaker on all things Windows, PhantomOfEarth, believes this to be the case. And given the sheer number of changes, we’d be inclined to agree. We also knew this next ‘Moment’ was due to land soon enough, anyway, and so in theory, we will see this move from Release Preview to all Windows 11 PCs later this month, on May 23 if the leaker’s guess is correct. Note, though, that this won’t be the full release, but the optional update – still in preview, in other words – for May. You can grab it early if you wish, with all the usual caveats around features still in preview, or wait for the full and finalized version that’ll roll out in June.
