  1. New Mastercard service will assist business owners in identifying evolving security threats Mastercard is launching Cyber Secure, an innovative suite of tools powered by Artificial Intelligence (AI) that will let banks tackle the growing risk of cybercrime. According to the credit card giant, at least 1 in 4 organisations have experienced a cyber attack in the last 12 months. Attacks are being further exacerbated by the coronavirus pandemic, as criminals have been quick to capitalize on the chaotic situation caused the health crisis, with many banks suffering from stolen assets or compromises in security in recent months. Mastercard says it hopes Cyber Secure will enable banks to better monitor their internal systems, while hopefully preventing attacks by identifying potential threats, and weaknesses, within their operations. Best ransomware protection: free, paid and decryption tools We've built a list of the best antivirus services on the market Check out our list of the best malware removal software out there Mastercard is also setting its sights on Internet of Things (IoT) technology as part of the security initiative. It says IoT is responsible for the generation of 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every day, with 90% of this data having been accumulated in the last two years. Ransomware attacks Increasing cases of ransomware attacks are another priority for Mastercard. It estimates that by next year a business will become the victim of a ransomware attack every 11 seconds. The suite of new tools inside Cyber Secure will help businesses fend off threats following Mastercard’s acquisition of RiskRecon this year. This specialist company uses AI to evaluate data against 40 security and infrastructure criteria, which flags up potential threats to businesses based on its own cyber risk rating system. “The world today faces a $5.2 trillion cyber breach problem. This is one of the biggest threats to consumer trust. At Mastercard, we aim to stay ahead of fraudsters and to continually evolve and enhance our protection of cyber environments for our bank and merchant customers,” said Ajay Bhalla, president, Cyber & Intelligence, Mastercard.“With Cyber Secure, we have a suite of AI-powered cyber capabilities that allows us to do just that, ensuring trust across every experience, for businesses and consumers,”
  2. ARCTIC has just announced the release of its flagship AIO liquid cooler, the Liquid Freezer II 420. ARCTIC states that the Liquid Freezer II 420 is its biggest and powerful water cooler to date & has been designed on the same principles as the rest of its Liquid Freezer II lineup. ARCTIC Unveils Liquid Freezer II 420 AIO Liquid Cooler, Its Biggest & Most Powerful Liquid Cooler To Date The ARCTIC Liquid Freezer II 420 comes with a 420mm AIO cooling design which is quickly getting traction from various cooler manufacturers. AlphaCool who is regarded as one of the prominent liquid coolers was one of the first to offer a 420mm AIO liquid cooling solution in its Eisbaer lineup almost two years ago and released an Aurora variant with RGB support last year. Now ARCTIC has brought forward its own cooling solution.The Liquid Freezer II 420 features support for all modern sockets including Intel's LGA 1200, LGA 1151, LGA 2011-3, LGA 2066, and AMD's AM4 & AM3+. Surprisingly, a cooler of this size should be great for the AMD Ryzen Threadripper CPUs too but TR4 or TRX40 support has not been listed yet. The cooler weighs in at 1977g and features dimensions of 148mm x 149.5mm x 166mm (L/W/H). The pump features a copper cole plate with a Micro Skived fin array to channel coolant through. It operates at 800-2000 RPM (PWM). The 420mm radiator is all aluminum and features three 140mm fans (P14 PWM-Fan). ARCTIC will include its MX-4 thermal paste with the package. Tubing for the cooler is made out of fiber-sleeved rubber and features Y-splitter for radiator fans. The fans on the cooler are rated at 200-1700 RPM (PWM) and have a noise output of 0.3 sones while featuring fluid dynamic ball bearings. The static pressure is maintained at 2.4mm H2O and airflow is rated at 72.8 CFM. The cooler also comes with an active VRM cooler over the pump which allows for lower VRM temps. The mounting mechanism is all stated to be very easy and anyone tech-savvy can install the cooler with relative ease. The cooler is available now through ARCTIC's main webpage for a price of €119.99. The cooler will be a perfect fit for higher TDP CPUs, especially Intel's existing 10th Gen lineup and if you plan on building yourself an AMD Ryzen 5000 PC, the extra cooling performance that a cooler like this has to offer definitely won't hurt if you plan to run at overclocked speeds.
  3. Passenger vehicle sales in India accelerated in October for the third straight month this fiscal year, buoyed by demand during the festivals of Navratri and Dussehra, as well as a steady recovery in economic activity since lockdown curbs were eased. Wholesales, or factory dispatches, reported by carmakers, including Maruti Suzuki India Ltd, Hyundai Motor India Ltd, Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd (M&M), Toyota Kirloskar Motor Pvt. Ltd (TKM) and Honda Cars India Ltd, suggest the industry has recorded a 14% year-on-year (y-o-y) growth in October. Sales increased by 26.5% in September and 14.1% in August, according to the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (Siam). Maruti Suzuki, the country’s top carmaker, posted an 18% rise in domestic wholesales at 163,656 vehicles. This was driven by a 27% jump in sales of hatchbacks at 95,067 units comprising its po[CENSORED]r models such as the WagonR, Swift and Baleno. Sales of Maruti’s utility vehicle models grew 10% last month to 25,396 units. At its quarterly earnings call last week, the Maruti management said retail deliveries during Navratri grew 27% year-on-year to 96,700 units. With the largest portfolio of affordable, small cars among local automakers, Maruti has been a key beneficiary of the growing preference for personal mobility during the pandemic. This trend has led to the share of first-time car buyers for Maruti growing to 48% from 43% a year ago. The resurgence in sales has also been helped by a low year-earlier base as well as buoyant rural markets this year. The share of rural markets to Maruti’s total sales has risen to 41% during Q2 from 38% a year earlier. Second-ranked Hyundai said its total domestic sales in October increased 13% y-o-y to 56,605 vehicles. This was the highest-ever monthly sales for Hyundai since it commenced operations in India, according to the company, topping the previous record of 52,001 units in October 2018. The Korean carmaker plans to launch the third generation of its premium hatchback i20 on Thursday in a bid to exploit potential demand around Diwali slated for 14 November. Puneet Gupta, associate director, IHS Markit said the October sales numbers are very encouraging despite the price increase to comply with Bharat Stage VI emission norms and comparatively lower level of discounts. “While aggressive financing schemes are helping buyers, covid-19 fear factor is clearly working in India, as we see an increased preference for personal mobility," he said. M&M’s passenger vehicle wholesales grew a marginal 1% to 18,622 units. A 3% increase in sales of utility vehicles (UVs) helped offset a sharp 55% plunge in sales of cars and vans at M&M. Veejay Nakra, chief executive, automotive division, M&M said SUV brands such as Scorpio, Bolero and XUV300 continue to do well, while it has received robust orders for the Thar SUV model within a month of launch. Recording its best month since March, Toyota Kirloskar reported wholesales of 12,373 units in October, rising from 11,866 units a year earlier. “That our wholesales have been registering an average growth of close to 50% every month gives us confidence that the demand for bigger vehicles is rising too," said Naveen Soni, senior vice-president, sales and service, Toyota Kirloskar.
  4. An essential parameter of good health is a sound body and mind. And that is achieved when one feels relaxed and rested. However, given the pandemic coupled with everyday concerns, one may not always be able to stay calm and composed. So, if you have been finding it difficult to channelise your inner energy, here are some simple relaxation methods that can be practised whenever you feel low on energy, recommends certified nutritionist Rashi Chowdhary.Our physical and emotional healing happens when we are in the rest and relax mode, not in fight or flight (mode). If we’re always wired thinking about what we need to do next with an undercurrent of stress rather than ease, healing becomes harder,” she said, while sharing some simple ways in which one can feel relaxed through the day.*Start your day with morning rituals, anything that makes you feel good. Doesn’t have to be productive. *Practice water memory. Every-time you remember something, say a little prayer or put the best possible intention for yourself into the water/coffee/green tea that you’re drinking. *Focus on your breath from start to finish and let it bring you to the present moment. *Hear something that lights you up from the inside, say music. “It’s always these small things that have a big impact on us,” she mentioned
  5. Dr. Scott Atlas, pictured at a White House news conference in September, said on Sunday that he regrets doing an interview with RT, and extended an apology to the national security community. The Russian state-controlled media outlet has been registered as a foreign agent in the U.S. since 2017. Alex Wong/Getty Images White House coronavirus adviser Dr. Scott Atlas apologized on Sunday for doing an interview with Russia's state-backed RT network, saying he "was unaware they are a registered foreign agent." RT, formerly known as Russia Today, is an international television and digital news network financed by the Russian government. The production company behind its U.S. arm, RT America, registered as a foreign agent under the Foreign Agents Registration Act in 2017, meaning its content is labeled as propaganda attempting to influence U.S. public opinion, policy and laws. RT is one of more than a dozen media outlets that Facebook began labeling in June as under state control. RT's Twitter page is also labeled as "Russian state-affiliated media." "I regret doing the interview and apologize for allowing myself to be taken advantage of," Atlas said in a tweet. "I especially apologize to the national security community who is working hard to defend us." A 2017 report by national intelligence agencies said that RT, as part of Russia's "state-run propaganda machine," contributed to the campaign to interfere in the 2016 presidential election by "serving as a platform for Kremlin messaging to Russian and international audiences." National security experts have raised similar concerns in the 2020 election. In the interview published Saturday, Atlas downplayed the severity of the U.S. coronavirus surge and said that lockdowns aimed at curbing the spread of COVID-19 are "not impactful" and "killing people." "The lockdowns will go down as an epic failure of public policy by people who ... were wrong, refused to accept they were wrong, didn't know the data, didn't care, and became a frenzy of stopping COVID-19 cases at all costs and those costs are massive," Atlas said. He also said protective measures like mask wearing and social distancing are "creating a generation of neurotic children," and said one in four Americans ages 18-24 thought of taking their lives in June because of lockdowns. (The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that young adults reported "considerably elevated adverse mental health conditions" associated with COVID-19 in general.) As the country climbs towards a third coronavirus peak, with cases and hospitalizations on the rise, public health officials are urging Americans to take precautions like wearing masks, social distancing and avoiding being indoors with people outside your household whenever possible. And in recent days, countries including Spain, Italy, Germany and England have reimposed lockdowns and other restrictions in an effort to get the virus under control. Atlas, a radiologist, joined the White House as a coronavirus adviser in August and has since drawn scrutiny for circulating misinformation and reportedly promoting the controversial theory of "herd immunity." Last month, Twitter removed a post by Atlas in which he falsely stated that masks do not offer protection from the virus. The incident comes a day after Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation's top infectious disease expert, criticized Atlas in an interview with The Washington Post. "I have real problems with that guy," Fauci said. "He's a smart guy who's talking about things that I believe he doesn't have any real insight or knowledge or experience in. He keeps talking about things that when you dissect it out and parse it out, it doesn't make any sense." In September, Fauci suggested Atlas was an "outlier" on the White House Coronavirus Task Force, a characterization that Atlas responded to in Saturday's interview. "I'm proud to be an outlier, especially when the in-liers are completely wrong," Atlas said. The U.S. recorded its highest single-day increase in COVID-19 cases to date on Friday, with 99,321 cases and 1,030 deaths.

  10. As part of its second-quarter earnings call earlier today, Ubisoft delayed a number of its upcoming PlayStation 5 titles due to the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Far Cry 6, originally scheduled to launch in February 2021, will now release between April and September of next year. The same goes for Rainbow Six: Quarantine, which has never had a firm release date up until now outside of a vague launch window. Meanwhile, the Avatar game in development at Massive Entertainment has been delayed to the French publisher's next fiscal year, starting April 2022. Work on Skull & Bones is said to be "progressing very well", says chief financial officer Frédérick Duguet. It too is currently scheduled for release by the end of September 2021. Are you disappointed by these Ubisoft delays? Or are you happy they'll receive more development time? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

  12. Yesterday, Intel officially lifted the curtains of its 11th Gen Rocket Lake Desktop CPU which will be launching in Q1 2021. Intel provided a high-level overview of the features and some specifications that its lineup would feature which definitely are their way of saying to consumers that we've also got something coming for the mainstream desktop segment. Now the latest benchmarks of Intel's Rocket Lake CPUs have leaked within UserBenchmark database (via TUM_APISAK) that show some huge gains in single-core performance on early engineering samples. Intel's 11th Gen Rocket Lake "Core i9-11900K" ES Desktop CPU With 4.2 GHz Max Clocks Tested on MSI's Z590-A PRO Motherboard, Huge Single-Threaded Lead Over Skylake With Cypress Cove CoresThe benchmarks show an unreleased 11th Gen Intel Rocket Lake Desktop CPU. The CPU comes with 8 cores and 16 threads which should be the maximum core and thread count on the Rocket Lake lineup. The CPU also has its clock speeds listed at 3.4 GHz base and 4.2 GHz boost which are lower than what Intel has hinted us. According to Intel themselves, the Intel Rocket Lake Desktop CPUs will come in Core i9, Core i7, Core i5 flavors and rock frequencies beyond 5 GHz so 4.2 GHz max clocks are not even close to the final retail variants which launch early next year.Another surprising thing about this benchmark is that it was ran on a Z590 motherboard. The board in question is the MSI Z590-A PRO-12VO (MS-7D10) which will rock the LGA 1200 socket, supporting both 10th Gen Comet Lake and 11th Gen Rocket Lake CPUs before the company is planned to transition to yet another socket in Q3 2021 which is LGA 1700. Other notable specs about the test setup include 32 GB of DDR4-2667 memory and a 160 GB WD Blue HD. The test benchmark was carried out by a Taiwanese company so we most definitely know who is behind this leak (leaving on readers to figure this out). We don't officially know what the CPU is going to be called but considering the 8 core & 16 thread chips is where Rocket Lake maxes out, we are either looking at the Core i9-11900K or the Core i7-11700K. The CPU scores 179 points in 1 core, 368 points in 2 core, 682 points in 4 core, 1115 points in 8 core and 1623 points in 64-core tests. The table below shows how these results fare against Intel's existing 10th Gen lineup.As you can see in the benchmark table above, the Intel Rocket Lake Desktop CPU is up to 21% faster than its predecessor, the Core i7-10700K which has the same amount of cores & threads within single-core benchmarks. At the same time, the Core i7-10700K has a clock advantage of 5.1GHz which is 21% faster than the 4.2 GHz. Given these numbers, a 5 GHz+ Rocket Lake CPU is going to destroy the Core i7-10700K in single-threaded workloads. The CPU was also 18% faster than the Core i9-10900K which has a clock speed advantage of 26% at 5.3 GHz.The things quickly change in multi-core tests since the ES has much lower all-core boost rates than the 5 GHz+ rates of the 10th Gen Core i7 and Core i9 CPUs. Despite that, the Intel Rocket Lake CPU does come out ahead of the 10700K by 7% in 8-core and 4% in 64-core tests. This goes off to show that Intel claims about Rocket Lake Cypress cove cores offering double digit gains over the existing Skylake offerings might be true after all but we still need to wait for more results to evaluate how good Rocket Lake performs. If these gains are carried over in the final retail samples, than Intel's 11th Gen CPUs can quickly retake the single-core performance crown from AMD's Ryzen 5000 Zen 3 family which are looking to be insanely fast single-threaded chips themselves with a massive 19% IPC gain over its predecessorsHere's Everything We Know About The 11th Generation Rocket Lake Desktop CPUs Intel's Rocket Lake-S desktop CPU platform is expected to feature support on LGA 1200 socket which will make its debut with Comet Lake-S CPUs although on 400-series motherboards. The Intel Rocket Lake-S processors will be launching alongside the 500-series motherboards but it has since been confirmed that LGA 1200 motherboards will offer support for Rocket Lake-S CPUs, especially given the fact that PCIe Gen 4.0 is a prominent feature of Z490 motherboards which would only be enabled with the use of Rocket Lake-S desktop CPUs. Main features of Intel's Rocket Lake Desktop CPUs include: Increased Performance with new processor core architecture New Xe graphics architecture Increased DDR4 speeds CPU PCIe 4.0 Lanes Enhanced Display (Integrated HDMI 2.0, HBR3) Added x4 CPU PCIe Lanes = 20 Total CPU PCIe 4.0 Lanes Enhanced Media (12 bit AV1/HVEC, E2E compression) CPU Attached Storage or Intel Optane Memory New Overclocking Features and Capabilities USB Audio offload Integrated CNVi & Wireless-AX Integrated USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 (20G) 2.5Gb Ethernet Discrete LAN DIscrete Intel Thunderbolt 4 (USB4 Compliant)The architecture for Rocket Lake CPUs is said to be a hybrid between the Sunny Cove and Willow Cove design but will feature Xe Gen 12 GPU architecture. We have also been told that the Z590 motherboard series with Thunderbolt 4.0 support will be announced later this year so expect more information on Rocket Lake CPUs once Intel has released its 11th Gen Tiger Lake, mobility family.
  13. RM Sotheby's izsolē ASV par 912 500 ASV dolāriem (780 tūkstoši eiro) pārdota viena no retākajām japāņu ielas sporta mašīnām Toyota 2000GT.Modelis 2000GT tika ražots periodā no 1967. līdz 1970. gadam. Tas bija kompakta izmēra modelis, kas četru gadu laikā tika samontēts tikai 351 eksemplārā. No tiem tikai 62 bija ar stūri kreisajā pusē un paredzēti ASV tirgum. Mašīnas ekskluzivitāti pastiprināja tās cena, jo, kā norāda RM Sotheby's, 2000GT maksāja par 1000 dolāriem vairāk nekā tā laika Jaguar E-Type un Porsche 911 un pat par 2500 dolāriem vairāk nekā Chevrolet CorvetteAutomašīnai uzstādīts rindas 6 cilindru 2,0 litru motors ar 150 ZS. Rādītājs mūsdienu sporta automobiļiem raksturīgās veiktspējas kontekstā nav augsts, tomēr jāņem vērā, ka 2000GT svēra tikai nedaudz vairāk par 1000 kg. Ar 5 pakāpju manuālo pārnesumkārbu aprīkotā kupeja, kas būtībā bija japāņu ekvivalents Ferrari, tādējādi jau 60. gadu beigās spēja paātrināties līdz pieklājīgiem 220 km/h. Turklāt, tā kā mašīnas izsvarojums ir tuvu ideālam, 49:51, arī vadāmības ziņā automobilis bija tīrākā bauda. Ziemeļamerikas 2000GT modifikācija tiek uzskatīta par īpaši retu. Kas attiecas uz veiksmīgi izsolīto eksemplāru, pirmajam īpašniekam - amerikāņu sacīkšu braucējam Oto Lintonam tas piederēja vairāk nekā 30 gadus. 1998.gadā reto sporta auto nopirka viens no Toyota dīleriem Skrentonā, Pensilvānijas štatā. 2006.gadā Toyota 2000GT nonāca Maine Laine Exotics rokās, kas veica spēkrata atjaunošanu un sagatavoja to izstādei Toyota Motorsports 50 gadu jubilejā 2007.gadā. Pēc tam mašīnu iegādājās kolekcionārs Brauns Melounijs no Sekvimas Vašingtonas štatā, un galu beigās Starp citu, 2020.gada vasarā Toyota sāka ražot rezerves daļas, tai skaitā transmisijas komponentes, kas nepieciešamas 2000GT.

  14. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can be both hard and expensive as, unfortunately, the healthiest things are, most of the time, pricy. Then there is the challenge of having to endure the struggle of turning down mouthwatering dishes like chicken nuggets and french fries. With all the temptations around us, maintaining a healthy lifestyle becomes a fulltime job. Imagine being surrounded by delectable meals and you have to make the hard choice of going with a vegetable salad. Due to how cheap and readily available junk food is, our bodies are prone to nutrient deficiencies and falling into poor shape. Studies have shown that most non-communicable diseases (NCD's) are caused by poor lifestyle choices. Other than eating healthy foods and hydrating, we also need to incorporate exercising as it is also an important element to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Living a healthy lifestyle may be demanding but all worth it in the long run. Here are some tips to help you maintain a healthy lifestyle Cravings are our greatest enemy when it comes to maintaining a healthy lifestyle especially when you are just starting on a new diet and a fitness journey. You need to learn how to curb your cravings, this could mean replacing your unhealthy snacks with healthier ones so as keep you safe from temptation. You could also avoid eating out where you can easily relapse and order junks like fries. Steer clear of temptation As mentioned before, you can replace your snacks with healthier options like fruits, salads and low-fat dairy products. Junk food may be enticing and readily available, but unfortunately your brain doesn’t register them as real food. You might end up eating throughout without reaching your fill. When you start to feel hungry, drink some water or take a banana. A banana has enough energy to last you all day when you are on a diet. A strict diet without a fitness plan is almost futile work. To achieve a healthy lifestyle you have to incorporate some form of exercise to burn fats and strengthen your muscles. This doesn’t mean you turn yourself into a gym rat and work your body endlessly, you could have a walk, a run, skip rope a couple of days a week and you are good to go. Consistency You need consistency to achieve your goals. Make sure you are consistent with what you eat, drink and how you exercise. This is a great way to help ensure that you keep up with the healthy lifestyle and also achieve your dream body. As much as staying healthy is important we also need to fulfill our guilty pleasures once in a while. Schedule a cheat meal once a week or month depending on your tolerance and discipline. Living a healthy lifestyle doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have a little fun. Also, it’s a good way to curb your cravings since you will have a cheat day to look forward to, call it delayed gratification. Watch how much you eat and drink What you eat and drink is very important and this does not only apply to what you eat but also how much calories and sugars you are consuming per day. You need to eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and proteins. Ensure all your meals are balanced with all the nutrients your body needs and don’t forget your eight glasses of water. Preparing your daily meals is hard enough as it is, now imagine planning a balanced diet plan. You can’t just call your favorite restaurant for takeaways, you need to be particular with what you eat and be sure you are eating what is healthy. You can consider planning your meals in advance so as to avoid relapsing to your unhealthy ways or caving takeouts. If you hack this, it becomes easier to stick to a diet since you won’t be struggling to decide meals or end up eating what is available.
  15. Longtime TV news reporter and anchor Lee Nelson, who grew up in TV studios as the son of a news anchor, will end a long career in the news business on Friday when he retires from News Center Maine. “It’s a little surreal, having spent my entire adult life doing one thing to now be doing something else,” Nelson, 58, said in a phone interview on Thursday. “But at the same time, I feel fine. I am not rethinking it. My father was 52 when he died, and he had some unfulfilled goals and plans, and I hear that so often. People wait to retire and then they are not healthy enough to do what they want to do. I am healthy and I want to do something else. I have accomplished everything I can (in TV news), and now I would like to accomplish some other things.” His new career is in fitness. Nelson, a self-described gym rat since his teens and certified personal trainer since 2010, will work with clients at Foley’s Fitness Center in Scarborough. Nelson’s father was a news anchor in Maine, Boston and New York. TV news was an unlikely career for Nelson, despite his father’s success in the business. He grew up with what he calls “quite a substantial stammer” and had to learn to conquer it before he flourished in front of a camera. “I don’t know that I have fully conquered it yet, but I certainly have conquered it on the air. When I am really tired and really stressed, it comes out,” he said. Nelson started his career in broadcasting in 1985 when he got a job as a page at NBC in New York giving studio tours and seating audiences for “Saturday Night Live” and other shows. He has been with WCSH since 1990, when he began hosting the News Center Maine “Morning Report.” He remained on the morning show for one month shy of 30 years, before switching to the evening news in 2019. Friday night’s broadcast will be his last. Nelson is married to his co-anchor, Cindy Williams. They met while working together in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, his first on-air job. This week on WCSH’s news magazine show “207,” he said he had few regrets, other than waiting so long to join his wife side-by-side on the evening news. “Should have done that earlier,” Nelson said. They live in Biddeford, where they recently relocated from Falmouth in an effort to downsize, and have two sons in their 20s. They worked together at the NBC affiliate in Hattiesburg for 14 months, before moving to New England. “I wanted to stick around with her, but I didn’t want to stick around Hattiesburg,” said Nelson, a Lewiston native. She got a job in New Hampshire and he picked up freelance work in Boston, before they both ended up in Portland. Writing on the News Center Maine website, “207” co-host Rob Caldwell said he would miss his longtime colleague. “Lee has been a friend of mine for more than 30 years, and I’ll miss seeing him in the newsroom, talking about what’s happening across the street or around the world, swapping gossip, cracking jokes,” Caldwell wrote. “But I admire his enthusiasm as he leaves behind the only professional life he’s known as an adult and heads down new roads. As I’ve had to say too many times over the years when colleagues depart: Good for him … bad for us.” Nelson began his career in TV after his father died, so his father never saw him on the air or knew of his interest in broadcasting. He said his father would be “flabbergasted” to know that his son spent more than 30 years delivering the news to audiences in Maine. “My life has been kind of written by him in a lot of ways. I have tried to do the things he had done and enjoyed and tried to avoid the things that didn’t work out for him,” he said. His mother, who lived in Maine, died three years ago. Nelson’s father jumped around in his career, from Maine to Boston to New York, in pursuit of better jobs in bigger markets. That movement created stress for the family and was something that Nelson wanted to avoid when he committed to a career in broadcasting. Once they found something they liked in Maine, Nelson and Williams decided to settle and raise a family. “We were really comfortable at Channel 6. It was a great place to work, and it made sense to stay.” He said he would miss interacting with viewers and co-workers, and said the best part of the job was connecting with people across Maine. He said he made his decision to leave the news business last winter, before the pandemic, and acknowledged that now is a turbulent, tumultuous time for news reporters. In a parting message, he urged viewers to treat the news seriously and dismissed any notion that the news is fake. “It’s really frustrating there are so many people out there who think we make up the news,” Nelson said. “It’s crazy. But it’s there. That didn’t used to be the case, until four or five years ago. Then all of sudden people were thinking we’re not telling the truth.”

  18. There's actually quite a large number of games releasing day and date with PlayStation 5, so it's easy to forget some of them. One game we'd suggest you keep an eye on, though, is The Pathless, the new game from ABZU creators Giant Squid. This open world action adventure has you playing as an archer that can zip across the landscape with ease by shooting various targets, and it looks very promising indeed. If you needed more convincing, publisher Annapurna Interactive has just sweetened the deal. If you buy the game digitally on PS4, you'll get the PS5 version as well at no extra cost. This also works the other way: buying the next-gen version nets you the current-gen one as a freebie. That's great if you don't mind digital games, but what if you want a physical copy? Well, there are two PS5 boxed versions of The Pathless you'll be able to pre-order, too (though it seems the free PS4 version is only for digital purchases). First, there's an iam8bit exclusive edition. This comes with the game on disc, obviously, as well as reversible cover art, a poster, and some art cards. iam8bit is also producing a vinyl soundtrack, if you're interested. Then there's the more widely distributed Day One edition, which just includes the art cards as a bonus. So, you're not short of ways to purchase The Pathless. What option tickles your fancy? Will you nab the digital PS4 version for the free PS5 upgrade? Choose your path in the comments section below.
  19. America's top tech companies are pushing for a software-based approach to building 5G telecom networks that could help the United States and its allies get past the hardware-based leadership position that China's Huawei currently holds "We have a point of view which is now pervasive in the industry that the way you will ultimately build out the 5G and beyond infrastructure is not a legacy telco model," said John Roese, the chief technology officer at Dell Technologies, referring to traditional telecom companies that provide all the equipment needed to operate a network in a proprietary black box. The new idea is to "disaggregate that infrastructure, to open it up, to software define it and run a nonstandardized hardware" to operate the open radio access networks, or RAN, that power cellular technology, Roese told CQ Roll Call in a recent interview. Dell, AT&T, Deutsche Telekom, China Mobile, Microsoft, Cisco, Ericsson, IBM, Intel, Nokia, Qualcomm, Samsung and other top tech companies around the world are part of the O-RAN Alliance to push the United States and other governments to break away from proprietary telecom networks and embrace virtual telecom models. The idea behind virtual telecom models is that you can develop software that takes on the functions currently delivered by proprietary hardware and therefore the new systems can be run on widely available cloud-based servers. A radio access network is an essential element of a mobile telecommunication system that connects user devices such as computers, smartphones and tablets to the core part of a network. In modern telecom systems, the "radio" is typically a silicon chip that resides on both a user device as well as the core network. In a traditional model, the radio chip is part of proprietary hardware that is supplied by telecom providers. But that could change with the arrival of so-called open radio access networks. The push to break the traditional telecom model comes after a yearlong effort by the Trump administration to persuade allies not to adopt Huawei's 5G networks because of fears that Beijing could eavesdrop on network traffic. Loss of leadership After years of inaction, Congress, the White House and federal agencies such as the Pentagon and the Federal Communications Commission also have woken up to the fact that U.S. global telecom leadership had disappeared in a flurry of mergers and acquisitions through the 2000s, leaving it to rely on European companies or China. But the Trump administration hasn't fully embraced the idea of backing virtual telecom networks. While White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow has pushed for the software-based approach, Attorney General William Barr, who once worked for Verizon and was general counsel for GTE, in February dismissed the open radio access network idea as "pie in the sky." In May, Barr issued a statement saying that the technology was not an immediate solution but should be studied. The United States is facing a multipronged problem when it comes to the next-generation telecom network, said Melanie Hart, a China specialist at the Center for American Progress. "We have a Huawei problem, where China is using every lever of state power" to help the company achieve global dominance in 5G, Hart said. The telecom industry's oligopolistic structure poses another problem that discourages interoperability without common standards, she said. "If you want to get in on the network, the radio access network is critical, and it's a cartel." And lastly, the United States "has not made the investments at home to ensure that fundamental areas of technological innovation and global supply chains that lie at the nexus of telecom and national security" are being addressed, Hart said. "Now, we see Congress trying to play catch-up. That's something we have neglected at least since the early 2000s." One of the impediments to experimenting with software-based networks is that telecom providers such as AT&T and Verizon are risk averse and unlikely to invest in new approaches without knowing if they would pay off, she said. Pentagon help The House's fiscal 2021 Pentagon policy bill proposes that the Defense Department demonstrate at military bases the use of a software-based 5G network using a virtualized radio access network—in other words, a network whose core functions are driven by software rather than proprietary hardware. Working with telecom companies, the Pentagon can "ensure that this technology is a viable contender for commercial 5G network deployments," lawmakers wrote in the committee report accompanying the legislation. The next administration could expand such experiments by seeking federal funding to help high schools and universities in rural America try out a software-based approach to 5G connectivity, Hart said. If successful, the United States could then provide international loans to help poor countries in Africa, Latin America and elsewhere adopt similar approaches, she said. Lawmakers also have proposed bills to boost support for domestic manufacturing of semiconductor chips that would be essential to software-based telecom networks. Sens. Mark Warner, D-Va., and John Cornyn, R-Texas, introduced their bill in June, and a companion bill in the House was proposed by Reps. Doris Matsui, D-Calif., and Michael McCaul, R-Texas. The FCC also held a forum last month in which Roese and other tech executives called for the commission and other U.S. agencies to back a software-based approach to 5G. The use of open radio access networks would offer multiple benefits, Sachin Katti, vice president of strategy at VM Ware, said at the FCC event. It would lead to the creation of a virtual radio network, and "I think it'll really open the door for a tremendous amount of hardware innovation to come in" because with a virtual network one can use different hardware configurations and "run the radio network essentially as an app or a software on top of it," Katti said. VM Ware is a unit of Dell. Open radio access networks and virtualized networks already have been proven to be effective and secure, Tareq Amin, the chief technology officer of Rakuten Mobile, an offshoot of Japan's e-commerce giant Rakuten, said at the FCC forum. The company was set to go with Huawei's 5G equipment but changed direction and chose to adopt the open radio approach, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai said. Amin said more than 6,000 5G base stations in Japan already were operating with Rakuten's virtual network model and the company planned to provide 5G coverage to 70 percent of the country's po[CENSORED]tion by March 2021. The open, software-based network provides "full visibility, transparency," into not only the source of the software but also all of the hardware components, Amin said. Although the Trump administration has focused its efforts on stopping Huawei's global reach, that is not enough, FCC Commissioner Jessica Rosenworcel said. "Restrictions on Huawei and ZTE are a minor fix for a much larger problem," Rosenworcel said, citing the two Chinese telecom companies targeted by the Trump administration. "That's because the 5G cybersecurity challenge is much bigger than simply dealing with a few Chinese companies," and the United States must embrace the open radio approach and provide federal funds for American companies, she said.
  20. The Radeon RX 6000 series is much more than a value alternative; AMD plans to go against Nvidia's best and may come out ahead. AMD just dropped the Big Navi bombshell, which you can view above, detailing key specs for the Radeon RX 6800 XT, Radeon RX 6800… oh, and one more thing: Radeon RX 6900 XT. AMD is gunning for the top of the GPU benchmarks hierarchy and best graphics card lists in a big way. The graphics card names aren't surprising, and most of the specs were at least guesstimated as far back as six months ago — our AMD Big Navi hub has been filled with speculation for some time, and we weren't too far off, mostly. But this time, we've got AMD's official full specs, pricing, and even some comparative benchmarks at 4K and 1440p. It looks as though AMD isn't just hoping to come close to Nvidia's Ampere GPUs, it has a very good chance of taking the lead in both GPU performance and efficiency for the first time in over a decade. Could this be AMD's ‘Ryzen moment’ for the GPU sector? Let's cover what AMD revealed and what it means for our next graphics card purchase. AMD RX 6000 Key Points Up to 5120 shader cores in RX 6900 XT, 3840 cores in RX 6800 Maximum boost clocks of 2.1-2.25 GHz 16GB of GDDR6 for the three cards revealed today 128MB Infinity Cache more than doubles effective bandwidth One Ray Accelerator per CU, 10x speedup for RT calculations Prices of $999, $649 and $579 for 6900 XT, 6800 XT and 6800 Upcoming FidelityFX enhancements to offer DLSS alternative We'll dig into all the details below, but early indications are that Big Navi is going to live up to its name. It doesn't have the raw core counts of Nvidia's Ampere architecture, but theoretical TFLOPS don't always match real-world performance. In fact, AMD has previously held an advantage in TFLOPS relative to Nvidia but still ended up trailing in gaming performance. The Infinity Cache and other changes may flip the tables this time, as a large cache can help eliminate many trips to VRAM for framebuffer accesses. AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT Specs and Performance Preview Let's start with the primary contender, the Radeon RX 6800 XT. This will go up against Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3080, which is theoretically priced starting at $700, but in practice, you can't buy the RTX 3080 right now. Well, maybe you can if you get lucky, but supply definitely isn't meeting the current demand, and it may not do so until 2021. AMD might be able to help with that, however, as the RX 6800 XT boasts some impressive-looking specs and initial performance figures (take with a grain of salt, as with any manufacturer-provided benchmarks) — oh, and the 6800 XT will have a starting price of $649. Here's a look at the main specs: The most recent rumors were basically correct, and it makes sense. RX 6800 XT will have 72 CUs (Compute Units), each with 64 shader cores. The game clock sits at just over 2GHz, while the boost clock (which if it's anything like Navi 1x is basically a maximum that you'll rarely see) is 2.25GHz. Combined, that works out to peak compute performance of 20.7 TFLOPS. That's technically a lot less than RTX 3080's 29.8 TFLOPS, but a chunk of the Nvidia potential performance ends up going to INT32 calculations. What's not clear right now is whether AMD has added concurrent FP32 + INT32 data paths to RDNA2 / Navi 2x, or if there are other optimizations that make up for the apparent compute deficit. If it has, real-world performance will probably end up being quite close to the RTX 3080, maybe even surpassing it. Even if it doesn't have concurrent INT+FP, though… Well, let's get to perhaps the most interesting aspect of the new architecture, the 128MB Infinity Cache.Put simply, that's a huge cache. AMD didn't go into all the details, but the basic idea is to reduce the amount of memory traffic and thereby increase effective bandwidth by having an L3 (L4?) cache that's large enough to hold the entire frame buffer — and maybe a bit more. Reducing all of that extra memory traffic can also significantly improve overall efficiency, which is exactly what AMD says RDNA2 does. With the same 256-bit GDDR6 interface, apparently still running at a 'mere' 14 Gbps, AMD says the new Infinity Cache cuts power use by 10 percent while increasing the effective bandwidth by 117 percent. If true, that means RX 6800 XT has the equivalent of about 972 GBps of bandwidth, significantly more than the RTX 3080. It's important to point out the other two pieces of data: The 16GB total GDDR6 memory and the 300W TBP (Total Board Power). That's 60 percent more memory for textures and other data compared to the RTX 3080. We've questioned whether 10GB was enough for Nvidia's RTX 3080, and the answer is that it probably is. Still, having more memory won't hurt performance — it can only help. As for the 300W TBP, AMD and Nvidia don't always measure power in the same way, but AMD says the 300W should be the total amount of power the cards will consume, meaning it will actually be 20W less than the RTX 3080. Except, in our own power testing, the RTX 3080 tended to land closer to 330W. Anyway, let's hit the preliminary benchmarks. Usual caveats applied, grains of salt, etc. How does AMD say the RX 6800 XT performs? Take a look at these 4K and 1440p ultra RX 6800 XT vs. RTX 3080 benchmarks: Based on AMD's numbers, RX 6800 XT isn't just competitive with the RTX 3080; it will be slightly faster. Of course, AMD is probably selecting games that favor its GPU a bit, and it's worth noting that none of these benchmarks enabled ray tracing. Still, if AMD can match RTX 3080 performance on average, with more memory, less power, and a lower price? That looks like a win to us, pending independent testing, of course. AMD Radeon RX 6800 Specs and Performance Preview The RX 6800 XT is the RTX 3080 competitor, at a slightly lower price point, but AMD isn't stopping there. Big Navi, or Navi 21, is the GPU at the heart of the 6800 XT, and it will also feature in a slightly more cut down variant that drops the XT. The Radeon RX 6800 is to Navi 21 what the RX 5700 was to Navi 10: fewer cores, lower clocks, but still a lot of performance. Oh, and it will cost less — $70 less, to be precise. The starting price for the RX 6800 is $579. Most of the core features are similar, only instead of 72 CUs and 4608 shader cores, the RX 6800 will have 60 CUs and 3840 shader cores. It also has advertised clock speeds that are about 150-200 MHz lower, leading to theoretical compute performance of 16.2 TFLOPS. However, it still packs the full 128MB Infinity Cache and 16GB of GDDR6, and the reduced clocks and core counts give it a 250W TBP. In short, RX 6800 is going after the GeForce RTX 3070. It's going to be an interesting matchup. Considering how the RTX 3070 stacks up against the RTX 3080 (it's about 25 percent slower at 4K), AMD looks to be in a very good position for the more modest high-end GPU market. The 6800 XT has about 30 percent less compute than the RTX 3080, but the RX 6800 only has about 20 percent less compute than the RTX 3070. It also has twice as much memory and potentially way more effective memory bandwidth thanks to the Infinity Cache. Again, caveats and disclaimers apply, and AMD didn't have the RTX 3070 for testing. But it did have the RTX 2080 Ti, which in our own testing is a few percent faster than the RTX 3070. Here are AMD's results:
