From the silver screen to your pocket, the $267 Nebra AnyBeam HAT brings a Raspberry Pi compatible projector into a convenient HAT form factor. Designed for use with all 40 pin GPIO models of Raspberry Pi, Nebra AnyBeam HAT can project a 720P 150 inch image at upto 3 meters away using lasers instead of a typical bulb. The lasers provide image clarity and require no special means to focus the image, we just point and shoot, so to speak. The Nebra AnyBeam HAT is both an expensive piece of kit and an interesting idea. A projector HAT sounds like a dream come true for home cinema and artists. The reality is that there is little benefit over purchasing a much cheaper 720P projector.The Nebra AnyBeam HAT, as the name suggests, is designed for use with the Raspberry Pi GPIO. It connects to all 40 GPIO pins and is compatible with all models of Raspberry Pi with a 40 pin GPIO. The Nebra AnyBeam HAT comes as a series of parts, the largest of which is the mainboard onto which the projector unit is secured using three screws via an aluminum plate used as a crude but effective heatsink. A small control board connected to the mainboard provides a limited means to control the projectors many settings. We did note that once entering the OSD config menu, we could not get out despite what the instructions advised. Assembly is straightforward and the included instructions are simple to follow and, within a few minutes, we had our test unit built. We tested the Nebra AnyBeam HAT on a Raspberry Pi 4 running the latest version of Raspberry Pi OS. The first obstacle that we faced was the lack of installation instructions. There was nothing to inform of us on how to install the software, nor the location of scripts to automate this. We had to look to the questions section of the product page to learn where a GitHub repository was located. In the Software folder there are instructions on how to run an installation script using curl, which downloads the script and automatically runs it. This is not the ideal means to deploy an installation script, and if you are deploying this into a working environment, check the script before launching. With the script installed, we removed our micro HDMI lead and rebooted the Raspberry Pi 4. On boot, the Raspberry Pi OS desktop was clear and visible at a resolution of 1280 x 720 and we pointed the projector at a blank section of wall approximately 1 meter away and the image was clear, if a little washed out. For this projector to be used best, it needs a dark room. We tested the projector by watching Marvel’s Black Widow trailer and we found that the nearer the projector is to a screen / wall, the brighter the image was. The shorter distance meant that we lost image size, but gained clarity and brightness. We moved the projector farther away from the screen and the image clarity was decent but not razor sharp. There was a slight “fuzziness” to the image but It wasn’t terrible. Text was fuzzy, but legible and fast moving images had no blur. The operating temperature is 38 Celsius with a static image, left idle for 10 minutes. When watching the Black Widow trailer we saw the temperature rise to 47.2 Celsius, nothing to worry about but do take into account that the Raspberry Pi 4 has no cooling when used with the Nebra AnyBeam HAT and the idle temperature of the Pi was 54.5 Celsius. The onboard menu system is functional, if a little cumbersome to use. Accessed by pressing the Enter key for five seconds, a config menu appears, and from there, we can configure our projector. We noticed a bug when changing the brightness of the unit, sometimes the unit froze and then tried to catch up with our input. Projectors are typically used in home cinemas and for presentations. Only one of these places is where we can sometimes find a Raspberry Pi. For home cinema use, Nebra AnyBeam HAT is a neat solution, but the price is a big negative against this projector. If you depend on a Raspberry Pi for a project, then Nebra AnyBeam HAT provides a slick means to project video / images in a small package. Nebra AnyBeam HAT is a great idea, let down by a hard-to-swallow price tag and a rather warm running temperature. For $267 we could purchase a decent projector and a Raspberry Pi 4 and still have change in our pocket. A basic 720P projector can be bought for $89, and a Raspberry Pi 4 4GB kit can be had for $99. This would save us nearly $80! Sure we would lose the small form factor, and there would be more wires, but we would have flexibility to connect to other devices. The Nebra AnyBeam HAT has great picture quality, and the technology used is remarkable. Careful consideration is required before parting with your cash.

With the celebratory season back– we are all kind of running out of cues for what to wear for the coming New Year’s Eve. If you are facing the same issues, your search ends her. Because Mouni Roy’s latest fashionable outing has given us enough inspiration to make a smashing entry for the last day of 2020. If you too don’t want to settle for anything less when it comes to turning heads at the NYE party, then read on to know more. We aren’t surprised that the actor went for a sequined ensemble. Here she is seen in a sheer dress with sequin detailing throughout the dress. It also features puffy sleeves and was paired with a biege-toned long camisole underneath. We like how she kept it minimal — allowing the dress to speak for itself. The dress was cinched to her waist with a basic velvet black waistbelt and the look was brought together with spikey pencil heels. For the makeup — she went for a monochromatic pink look which consisted of slightly pink smokey eyes paired with bronzer which went well with Roy’s classic muted pink lip.

What is it? The past seven years have been kind to the BMW 4 Series. Introduced with a good deal of fanfare in 2013, it has now recorded more than 800,000 sales worldwide, with nearly 150,000 of those in the UK, its second-biggest market behind the US. Its success is spread across three models – Coupé, Cabriolet and four-door Gran Coupé – and a range of four- and six-cylinder petrol and diesel engines, which have given it a broad appeal. But the talk surrounding this new, second-generation 4 Series is not of the task it faces in living up to the sales performance of its predecessor or its new engines, which include the 369bhp 3.0-litre turbocharged petrol unit of the range-topping M440i xDrive Coupé driven here, but of – yes, what else? – that grille. The 4 Series’ design has widely divided opinions but, like it or loathe it, there is more to the second-generation model than its controversial styling. BMW says it has conceived the new 4 Series, known internally as the G22 in coupé guise, to be a more distinctive, stand-alone model with greater exclusivity than before and this is reflected in its controversial appearance and improved quality. In dimensions, too, the new model shifts further away from the model it replaces. It’s 128mm longer (at 4768mm), 27mm wider (1852mm) and 6mm taller (1383mm), giving it greater presence and a more sporting form than the car it replaces. As with its predecessor, the new line-up starts with the Coupé, which has traditionally accounted for 33% of 4 Series sales in the UK. It will be followed next year by the new Cabriolet (17% of sales last time round) and Gran Coupé (50%). The new 4 Series shares its CLAR platform and electric architecture, including 48V capability, with the latest 3 Series. Its wheelbase has grown by 41mm to 2851mm and, as part of efforts to provide it with a more sporting feel, its tracks are wider than the previous 4 Series’, at 1575mm (28mm wider) at the front and 1611mm (18mm wider) at the rear. Crucially, for keen drivers, the new model’s centre of gravity is also 21mm lower than the first-generation 4 Series’, model for model. This has been achieved partly through a new material mix, with aluminium now used for the bonnet, front wings, doors and front suspension. Further changes are centred on making the body structure stiffer than that of the 3 Series. To achieve this, BMW has fitted the 4 Series with a new shear panel within the front bulkhead, a newly designed strut across the front suspension towers and an extra A-frame support at the front of the engine bay. Inside, the layout is familiar, with a layered dashboard from the 3 Series, complete with standard 12.3in digital instrument and 10.3in infotainment displays – the latter of which can be operated via a rotary controller or touch commands as well as optional speech and gesture controls – in the M440i xDrive. Overall, the cabin features much higher perceived standards of material and finish than the previous 4 Series. The driving position is quite different from that of the 3 Series, courtesy of a more heavily angled windscreen and lower mounting of the front seats, which in combination with the multi-function steering wheel offer generous adjustment. While you’re never going to buy the new 4 Series for its accommodation, it now offers greater space up front than the old model. There’s also claimed to be more room in the rear, although head room is quite limited in the back, even though the individual rear seats are set fairly low. Boot space, meanwhile, has been reduced by five litres to 440 litres. Overall, there are six second-gen 4 Series Coupé models, with a choice of four engines. These include a base turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol unit with 184bhp in the 420i and 258bhp in the 430i – both of which come as standard with rear-wheel drive. The diesels, all featuring 48V mild-hybrid tech and standard four-wheel drive, start with a turbo 2.0-litre four-cylinder delivering 190bhp in the 420d xDrive. Next year, a turbocharged 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder diesel with 286bhp in the 430d xDrive and 340bhp in the M440d xDrive will also join the line-up in the UK. The M440i xDrive heads the new range – and it has 43bhp more than the earlier 440i it effectively replaces, at 369bhp. Its turbo 3.0-litre six-cylinder is certainly no stranger, having already appeared in various new BMW models in recent times, including the M340i xDrive, with which the headlining 4 Series also shares its eight-speed torque-converter automatic gearbox, four-wheel drive system and electronically controlled rear M differential. What's it like? It is the inherent smoothness and willingness to rev that mark out the M440i’s engine. However, its low-speed pick-up in taller gears and strapping mid-range flexibility are equally as impressive. The new junior M car may not deliver the same pin-your-shoulders-back accelerative intent as a full-blown six-cylinder M car, but with 369lb ft at 1900- 5000rpm, it is both wonderfully rounded and engaging, delivering strong in-gear urge together with truly relaxed part-throttle cruising. The praise continues with the gearbox. Whether casually swapping ratios at low revs or performing shifts close to the 6800rpm ignition cut-out in manual Steptronic mode via the steering wheel paddles, it is always smooth and fast. There are three main driving modes: Eco-Pro, Comfort and Sport. A fourth Adaptive mode that combines all three depending on the driving conditions can also be called on. New to the 4 Series is an additional Sprint mode, which switches the car into the Sport setting using one of the shift paddles. The six-cylinder’s muscular growl and enthusiastic exhaust note, which are enhanced synthetically over the cabin speakers, are never quite as dominating or melodious as those of the petrol units used in full-fat M cars. Nevertheless, its subtle purposefulness at part-throttle and more meaningful acoustic intent under full load help to underline the M440i’s performance capabilities. The suspension retains the same design as the 3 Series’, with an aluminium-intensive MacPherson strut layout up front and a five-link arrangement at the rear, although it has its own unique kinematic properties, and the 4 Series also gets greater camber on the front wheels. Another key development is the adoption of BMW’s lift-related dampers, which feature main and auxiliary springs as well as hydraulic bump stops to progressively increase pressure within the damper under compression while progressively adjusting the rebound properties. However, the M440i receives uniquely tuned M Sport suspension with electronically controlled adaptive dampers. The standard wheels start at 17in in diameter and increase to 19in in combination with an optional M Sport Package Pro, which also brings the 225/40- and 255/35-profile Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres fitted to our test car. Despite its larger dimensions, the 4 Series is easy to place on the road. Fully befitting its sporting brief, it is engagingly fleet-footed and quite incisive in its actions. The variable-rate sport steering of the M440i is direct off centre, too, giving the new BMW urgent turn-in. It’s also more feelsome than that of the old model. The way the weighting and overall responsiveness increase with lock are key to delivering a sense of all-round confidence in the well-balanced chassis as you thread the 4 Series down a challenging back road in Sport mode. Body control, meanwhile, is excellent. BMW’s efforts to lower the centre of gravity can be felt in the way the 4 Series scythes through corners with greater enthusiasm and a higher degree of calmness than its predecessor. There’s a heightened sense of overall dynamic prowess that’s not only rooted in its firmer damping, but also its inherent balance, which is quite outstanding. Back to top Although the M440i is four-wheel drive, its variable apportioning of drive is such that it feels distinctively rear-wheel biased in dry conditions. With the electronically controlled M Sport differential also working to vary the drive between each individual rear wheel, it delivers outstanding grip and traction, and the additional security and confidence it instils in the driver on wet roads makes it well worth consideration, even if it lacks the overall fluidity and engagement of the traditional rear-wheel-drive set-up available on other models. BMW’s efforts to provide the 4 Series with a more sporting character haven’t come at the expense of ride, though. With the adaptive dampers set to Comfort mode, there’s mild restlessness and the odd thump on less than smooth road surfaces around town. However, the action of the springs and adaptive dampers is exceptionally well controlled. Together, they quickly eliminate all but the most extreme of impact shock before it has a chance to unsettle progress. At higher speeds on the open road, the ride is even more resolved, providing the new 4 Series with a fittingly purposeful but highly comfortable character that, in combination with low levels of wind noise and road roar, makes it a formidable long-distance proposition. Should I buy one? The new 4 Series Coupé has clearly taken on a more sporting role in the BMW line-up. It is now further differentiated from the 3 Series, on which it is largely based, in terms of its driving experience, being more incisive and generally more alert in its actions. The M440i sets a high standard of performance, although ultimately it will be the milder versions on which the 4 Series’ sales success will hinge. It’s not the prettiest car BMW has ever produced, but it is one whose clear purpose and heightened dynamic abilities make it a very convincing and entertaining contender.

The U.S. Department of Commerce (DOC) on Friday blacklisted Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp. (SMIC) along with 60 other companies from China citing belief that these entities have ties with the Chinese People Liberation Army. The additions to the DOC's Entity List greatly limits the abilities of these businesses, which also includes drone company DJI, to obtain almost all advanced technologies developed in the U.S. The addition of SMIC to the U.S. Entity List means that from now on any high-tech U.S. company planning to sell certain domestically developed technology to the Chinese contract maker of semiconductors will have to apply for a special export license. Specifically, the DOC wants producers of tools and other technologies required to make chips using 10nm nodes or finer to apply for the license, which will be subject to a presumption of denial. The inclusion of SMIC into the Entity List restricts the company's access to equipment, parts, materials and software designed in the U.S. Without these technologies, SMIC not only loses ability to procure new equipment or develop new fabrication technologies, but will also eventually have problems keeping its fabs running as they require spare parts and various materials. "We will not allow advanced U.S. technology to help build the military of an increasingly belligerent adversary," said Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross. "Between SMIC's relationships of concern with the military industrial complex, China's aggressive application of military civil fusion mandates and state-directed subsidies, SMIC perfectly illustrates the risks of China’s leverage of U.S. technology to support its military modernization." Previously, export of advanced technologies to China also required a license, but there were no presumption of denial. Earlier this year, the DOC restricted exports of advanced technologies to China, Russia and Venezuela to combat military circumvention efforts. In addition, the U.S. government restricted exports of equipment produced by U.S. companies to Hong Kong, which served as a path for Chinese companies to obtain advanced tools without needing to get a license from the U.S. government. "Entity List restrictions are a necessary measure to ensure that China, through its national champion SMIC, is not able to leverage U.S. technologies to enable indigenous advanced technology levels to support its destabilizing military activities," said Ross. Despite new sanctions from the U.S., SMIC has reportedly renewed talks with Netherlands-based ASML, the world's largest producer of lithography tools, about access to its extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography scanner. As reported by DigiTimes, this tech is expected to be critical in SMIC's development of sub-7nm processes.

In recent years, the quantity of digital text data has grown exponentially and continues to grow at 55-65% each year (IDC). From social media posts to customer transactions, online communities, surveys, reviews, chats, emails, and more, businesses across industries face the challenge of monitoring various sources and extracting the most relevant data. Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) help businesses sort through unstructured data more accurately. However, implementing traditional AI and ML require additional manpower and subject matter expertise and can be time consuming and costly. With the advent of new technologies and growth in data, businesses that can extract information and create actionable insights quickly and at scale will have the most leverage in a competitive landscape. Check out our list of the best mobile workstations on the market Here's our list of the best cloud computing services right now We've built a list of the best laptops for developers available Traditional AI and automation The terms Artificial Intelligence and Automation are often used interchangeably. They allow businesses and teams to operate more efficiently and effectively. However, both are extremely complex on two different levels. Automation is the application of technology, programs, robotics, or processes to produce goods or services and achieve outcomes with minimal human assistance. On the other hand, AI is a science and engineering process that makes it possible for machines to learn from experience, adjust to new inputs and real-time data, and perform tasks at a human level or higher. Traditional implementation of AI requires heavy technical skills and programming. Java, Python, Lisp, Prolog, and C++ are major AI programming languages used for AI to satisfy different needs and to develop and design different applications for business processes. For a typical business end user, implementing AI is impossible with the technical expertise and knowledge required to build out AI processes. The no-code movement is making it possible to see broader movement towards AI implementation now. What is no-code AI? The rise of the no-code movement has enabled businesses across all industries to reevaluate their technical processes and needs. Organizations can easily implement agile development strategies using no-code tools, while achieving similar and sometimes even better results and increasing productivity. No code tools are most commonly known for web and app development but can also develop and build AI and ML models. No-code allows users to transform business processes by quickly developing new solutions to meet customer needs and has attracted many financial services firms to adopt no-code AI into their workflows. AI is used within the financial services industry to streamline and optimize processes ranging from monitoring credit risk, building quantitative trading algorithms, managing financial risks, providing better client experiences, and more. Before the rise of no-code AI, risk managers, underwriters, lenders, asset managers, and business analysts relied on their data scientists and IT teams to model automated processes for them. However, creating and implementing a single automated solution can take months or even years, due to the time-consuming processes of writing code, cleaning data, categorizing, and structuring data. No-code AI provides financial services teams more efficient solutions to the time-consuming, manual processes of data research, extraction, and analysis. AI-powered tools can now run on a pre-developed backend and flexible front-end user interface, which means that financial firms can become nimbler, make faster and better decisions, and save time and money, while implementing AI solutions that match their business needs. In other words, no-code is democratizing AI so that business analysts and leaders, underwriters, and product and risk managers, can create their own models, quickly and efficiently, bypassing the IT bottleneck. Data scientists are then free to work on highly sophisticated projects, and business users can be far more efficient. No-code AI takes the complex technical and coding skills out of the traditional methods, enabling anyone to build out AI models. Three things to consider with no-code AI While business users are now familiar with the concept of AI and machine learning, they are not technologists who can write code to create new use cases for AI. For financial services to reap the benefits AI can bring to efficiency and ROI, they need to empower business users to take the lead. A no-code, artificial intelligence work process enables users to focus on maximizing results, instead of executing manual processes. Through simple commands and an easy-to-understand user interface, business users can quickly reap the benefits of artificial intelligence and automation without time delays, manpower restrictions, and a huge learning curve. No-code AI changes the game of the financial services industry by improving efficiency and ROI and freeing up technology teams' times. Companies that are quick to adopt this new method will gain a competitive advantage. Not all companies are fit for this new technology though. Organizations interested in no-code solutions must determine whether their company is a good fit. Those that already have many manual processes, a structured team of data scientists, and are looking to scale rapidly may not want to spend time in restructuring to implement no-code AI. Additionally, companies with large teams of advanced technical experts who are used to actual coding and are expecting to reconfigure, and tweak code may feel that migrating to a no-code platform isn’t a good fit for their organization. As AI is increasingly making its impact on our world and businesses it’s important to make it as business and user friendly as other disruptive and innovative technologies today. Like email, Excel spreadsheets, and high-speed internet, AI is poised to change the way the world does business. With no-code AI, business end users can create new solutions without having to code, improving business efficiencies, productivity, ROI, and customer retention.

In a candid conversation on dating and relationships, actors Neena Gupta and Sanya Malhotra recently revealed tidbits of their personal lives. Neena Gupta, 61, who got married to Vivek Mehra in 2008, shared why despite the differences, one needs to keep improving and evolving in a relationship. “We fight, we don’t get along on so many things. Also, I got married very late around 48 years. So, what I realised after a few years of marriage is that you don’t depend on him for your happiness. You do your thing. At least, he is not stopping me from doing my thing,” she revealed while talking to host and actor Rytasha Rathore on Bumble India’s Dating These Days chat show. According to the actor, the best part about being married is “companionship, support, somebody to lean on”. “Pressures are always there. Under pressure, you tend to make more mistakes. You have to be sensible and wise. That’s the sign of you being healthy. You have to decide… I want to make this relationship work. Not give up on people. Otherwise, it is easy to give up,” said Gupta. On being prodded about her relationships, Gupta revealed how she was once slut-shamed. “A boyfriend of mine, when we were fighting, said very nasty things to me, you are still on the shelf. I will never forget that. Nobody is waiting to be picked up,” she remarked. In the past, Gupta has been vocal about abusive relationships and the need to speak up against them. Malhotra, on her part, shared how it is important to make a “wise” decision (regarding marriage) rather than regret later, to which her family has finally started to give in, she said. “It did take a bit of time to make them understand about my thoughts on marriage and relationships,” she said.
