  4. https://www.gadgets360.com/games/news/call-of-duty-warzone-ios-android-day-zero-event-cod-details-5284056 Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile was not scheduled to go live for a couple more hours at the time of writing this. However, many users reported that the battle royale game was available to download almost 12 hours ahead of its schedule. The information was also officially confirmed by the developers. As the game is now available, users can play regular battle royale matches. However, they will still have to wait till March 22 for the first campaign of the game called Operation Day Zero. After several users posted about the game being available in the early hours of March 21, the official account of Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile posted on X (formerly known as Twitter), confirming that the game was made available ahead of its scheduled launch time. Notably, the game was slated to be available at 9:00am PT (9:30pm IST). However, due to a heavy inflow of players joining, the game servers went down temporarily. A separate post addressed the issue and said, “For players where Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile is already available, you may experience some delays with matchmaking and connectivity as our servers come online.” The servers went online after a few hours and the game is now working normally. Players can enjoy the different maps and game modes, as well as participate in the battle royale featuring 120 people. However, there are no campaigns live at the moment. The game will introduce its first event called Operation Day Zero on March 22, which will allow users to win rewards by completing challenges. Operation Day Zero requires players to play in different maps and complete in-game challenges across six zones to earn individual as well as community rewards. The Verdask and Rebirth Island maps will have these zones where players will have to enter and complete Event Action to accrue Event Points (EP). A zone will be considered cleared once players have cumulatively collected the required EP displayed in-game. The EP collected by a player will go towards both the individual reward as well as community reward. A large number of rewards can be won by clearing these zones. Some of the individual rewards include the Crimson Blaze emblem, the Nightmare Rift calling card, the Demon's Claw combat knife weapon blueprint, the Nightmare Inferno large decal, and the Bloody Reaper Ghost Operator. Some of the community rewards include the Gilded Devil King large decal, the Heavy Thunder M4 weapon blueprint, and the Golden Phantom Ghost Operator Skin.
  5. https://techxplore.com/news/2024-03-floorlocator-indoor.html Indoor positioning is transforming with applications demanding precise location tracking. Traditional methods, including fingerprinting and sensor-based techniques, though widely used, face significant drawbacks, such as the need for extensive training data, poor scalability, and reliance on additional sensor information. Recent advancements have sought to leverage deep learning, yet issues such as low scalability and high computational costs remain unaddressed. In a recent study published in Satellite Navigation, researchers from Chongqing University have unveiled "FloorLocator," a system that revolutionizes indoor navigation with unprecedented accuracy and efficiency. FloorLocator sets a new benchmark in indoor navigation, significantly outshining traditional technologies with superior accuracy, scalability, and computational efficiency. This innovative system integrates Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs) with Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), marrying SNNs' computational efficiency with GNNs' advanced pattern recognition. SNNs bring unparalleled computational efficiency to the table, while GNNs excel in sophisticated pattern recognition. This blend not only boosts floor localization performance but also deviates from the data-intensive, inflexible approaches of the past. FloorLocator reimagines floor localization as a graph-based learning challenge, mapping Access Points (APs) to a dynamic graph for effortless adaptation to new settings, a feat unmatched by current technologies. Achieving at least 10% higher accuracy in complex, multi-floor buildings than the latest methods, FloorLocator's success is attributed to the strategic integration of SNNs for efficient computation and GNNs for adaptive learning, revolutionizing indoor navigation. Dr. Xianlei Long, the lead researcher, emphasized, "FloorLocator is not just an advancement in technology; it's a leap towards creating more resilient, efficient, and accurate indoor navigation systems. By utilizing a graph-based learning approach, it can easily scale to new environments without the burden of high computational costs and extensive data collection." FloorLocator surpasses current technologies in accuracy, scalability, and efficiency. This approach enables dynamic adaptation to new environments and sets a new standard in the field, offering vast applications from enhancing emergency responses to improving indoor positioning and personalized recommendations, establishing it as a key solution for future indoor.
  6. https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/cpus/great-cpu-deals-for-budget-builds-intel-core-i7-12700kf-is-now-just-dollar199-core-i5-12600kf-a-mere-dollar150 One great way to save money on your PC build or upgrade is to use some last-generation parts. In the world of AMD, it has long been much cheaper to get a Ryzen 5000 series chip over newer, Ryzen 7000 models. In the Intel ecosystem, it hasn't made as much sense to buy older processors, because they weren't much cheaper. But right now, as part of its spring sale, Amazon has great deals on two speedy Intel 12th Gen Core chips: the Core i7-12700KF and Core i5-12600KF. Both are at all-time lows — $199 and $149, respectively — which makes them significantly cheaper than their successors, the Core i7-13700KF / Core i7-14700KF ($334 / $379) and the Core i7-13600KF / Core i7-14600KF ($254 / $279). Intel Core i7-12700KF: now $199 at Amazon Intel Core i7-12700KF: now $199 at Amazon (was $247) This Alder Lake processor has 12 cores (8 performance, 4 efficiency). It has a base clock speed of 3.6 GHz and a max turbo speed of 5 GHz. These processors are pretty fast. The Core i7-12700KF (also known as the 12700K, if you get it with a built-in GPU), sits just below the Core i5-13600K in our CPU hierarchy's list of multi-threaded benchmarks and above AMD Ryzen 9 5900X. The 12600KF is just a tad below the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D and above the Ryzen 7 7600X. Both processors handily surpass the Core i5-13400F, our most recommended processor. By the way, we recommend the 12700KF and 12600KF instead of the 12700K and 12600K, because the non-F CPUs cost a little bit more ($224 and $169, respectively) and what you get for the extra $19 - $25 is integrated graphics. If you're building a gaming PC, you are going to buy a graphics card — perhaps one of the best graphics cards — and don't need to pay extra for an iGPU you won't use. These CPUS are part of Intel's Alder Lake series, which debuted back in November 2021. However, they use the same LGA 1700 motherboard socket as their two successors, Intel 13th Gen "Raptor Lake" and Intel 14th Gen "Raptor Lake Refresh." So if you buy a current-generation Intel motherboard, you can use it with an Alder Lake CPU. And if you buy an older motherboard that supports Alder Lake, you can later upgrade to a 13th or 14th Gen processor if you want. All of the LGA 1700 CPUs can run on a motherboard that is either built for DDR4 or DDR5 RAM. While the difference in motherboard prices between a board that takes the faster RAM and one that requires the slower RAM is small, you'll save a fair amount on RAM by going with DDR4. If you look on Newegg, LGA 1700 boards start at just $79, though you probably should spend a few dollars more for a board with built-in Wi-Fi and support for M.2 SSDs. A 32GB kit of DDR4 RAM is as low as $53 these days, though you'll probably want to spend around $65 to get DIMMs with decent timing. Of course, if you have DDR4 RAM from a previous build that you want to carry over, that makes opting for a DDR4 motherboard an even sweeter deal.

  10. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-wales-politics-68500807 Vaughan Gething is set to be Wales' next first minister after narrowly winning the Welsh Labour leadership election with 51.7% of the vote. Mr Gething, who will become the first black person to lead Wales, beat his rival Jeremy Miles, who took 48.3%. He was congratulated by UK Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer and Prime Minister Rishi Sunak. But Plaid Cymru expressed "deep concerns" over donations from a controversial waste company in Cardiff. Mr Gething's campaign was marred by headlines about £200,000 of cash from Dauson Environmental Group, owned by a man that had twice prosecuted for environmental offences Welsh government minister and Miles supporter, Julie James called for a review of how leadership campaigns would be run in the future. Mark Drakeford is expected to resign on Tuesday after his final First Minister's Questions in the Senedd. Mr Gething will replace him the following day. Born to a Welsh father and a Zambian mother, Mr Gething pursued a legal career before being elected to the Welsh Parliament in 2011. The Cardiff South and Penarth Member of the Senedd (MS) is currently economy minister in Mr Drakeford's cabinet, and celebrated his 50th birthday on Friday. Mr Starmer said Mr Gething would "lead a hopeful, ambitious Welsh Labour government, in the face of a tired and failed Tory government in Westminster". The prime minister said on X, formerly known as Twitter, Mr Gething's election was "a chance for a new Welsh administration to focus on what matters to people in Wales". As it happened: Vaughan Gething wins Welsh Labour leadership Listen: Who is next Welsh First Minister, Vaughan Gething? Vaughan Gething: From Zambia to Wales' next first minister As soon as the announcement had been made, Mr Gething received a huge hug from his young son. Mr Miles left the Cardiff University building where the result was announced without speaking to the media. He later issued a written statement congratulating Mr Gething but, in what might be an allusion to the row over donations, said Welsh Labour leaders must continuously earn the trust of the public. In his acceptance speech, Mr Gething praised his predecessor, describing Mr Drakeford as the "right leader at the right time in the pandemic". He also praised his rival, Mr Miles, who would have been Wales' first gay leader if he had been the victor. Mr Gething said the education minister had given a "new hope" to Welsh boys and girls "who might have otherwise thought very differently about public life here". Turning to his victory, he said: "Today, we turn a page in the book of our nation's history. "Not just because I have the honour of becoming the first black leader in any European country - but because the generational dial has jumped too." Getty Images Vaughan Gething giving his victory speechGetty Images Vaughan Gething said a page was being turned "in the book of our nation's history" He also emphasised his commitment to devolution, calling it "not something I have had to get used to or adapt to or apologise for". "Devolution - Welsh solutions to Welsh problems - that's in my blood. It's what I've always known." 'Trust that must be continually earned' In his statement, Mr Miles said: "I congratulate Vaughan on his election. I wish him every success for Wales' future." He said he was proud he secured support "from a clear majority of Welsh Labour Senedd members, council leaders and deputies, CLPs [Constituency Labour Parties], and across our trades unions, MPs, peers and the all member vote of the Co-operative Party". In what might be a reference to the controversy over donations to the new Welsh Labour leader's campaign, Mr Miles said serving the people of Wales was "an honour and responsibility underpinned by trust that must be continually earned". Getty Images Jeremy MilesGetty Images Jeremy Miles said he was "incredibly proud" of his campaign Mr Gething accepted £200,000 for his campaign from a company, Dauson Environmental Group, owned by David John Neal. Mr Neal was given a suspended prison sentence in 2013 for illegally dumping waste on a conservation site. Four years later he was given another suspended sentence for not removing it. It emerged earlier this week Mr Gething had, in 2016 and in 2018, lobbied an environmental regulator on behalf of one of Mr Neal's companies. One of Mr Neal's businesses, that also donated to Mr Gething's 2018 leadership campaign, is currently embroiled in a row in Pembrokeshire where residents have complained about the smell of a landfill site. Atlantic Recycling - part of Mr Neal's group Dauson Environmental - also admitted a fresh waste offence in January, and was fined £300,000 over the death of a worker. The £200,000 donation is thought to be at least one of the largest seen in modern Welsh politics. 'Doing my job' Mr Gething defended the donations in an interview with BBC Radio Wales, and said he "scrupulously" followed the rules. Letters sent to Wales' environmental agency Natural Resources Wales, that he lobbied on behalf of Atlantic Recycling, showed him "doing my job as a constituency member", he argued. "This is a significant employer within the constituency [with] dozens of jobs there," he said. "I'm really clear that nothing changes my commitment to having a firmer environmental regulation." But Plaid Cymru leader Rhun ap Iorwerth called on him to return the cash. PA Media Vaughan with his sonPA Media Vaughan Gething won 51.7% of the vote Mr ap Iorwerth said it was a "matter of deep concern that we now have an incoming first minister who, before even taking up the highest public office, is facing serious allegations and questions about his judgement". "At the very least, Vaughan Gething should surely return the £200,000 campaign donation which has rightly drawn so much criticism from within his own party and beyond." Plaid is in the final year of a three-year agreement with Labour Welsh ministers on a series of policies, including increasing the number of Senedd members. There is no indication the co-operation deal will end, and Mr ap Iorwerth told BBC Radio Wales politicians in the Senedd have to "co-operate". Julie James, who is currently climate change minister, told BBC Wales there needs to be a "full-scale" review of the rules for running elections, in light of the Dauson money. Asked if Mr Gething had made a mistake in accepting the money, she said: "I'm not going to comment on that, but what I will say is that it's quite clear that with the rules the way they are we will continue to have this kind of problem until they are sorted out." The leader of the biggest opposition party in the Welsh Parliament, Conservative Andrew RT Davies, congratulated him on his win but warned "Wales can expect more of the same with Vaughan Gething as first minister". "Gething has been part of a Labour Welsh government that has presided over record NHS waiting lists, the steepest decline in educational standards in the UK, the highest business rates in Britain and is committed to the 20mph speed limit."
  11. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-68554001 A woman from Bourne wants the law changing after her two kittens were killed by cars. Amber French, 24, was left "heartbroken" after Shadow and Oddball both died within a week of each other. Under current law, if drivers hit a cat, they are not required to stop and report it. Ms French said "there has to be" a law to protect cats the same as dogs. Amber French Two catsAmber French Shadow (left) and Oddball (right) died at 11 months old after they were hit on Mill Drove in Bourne The single mum of a four-year-old found out through Facebook on 28 February that the first kitten, Shadow, had been hit by a car and found him on the grass by the side of the road. She then received a call days later from a local vets that Oddball had also been hit and died on 7 March. "My heart just went, it broke me because it was another cat we'd lost in a week, that can't be right", she said. 'Traumatic situation' Under Section 170 of the 1988 Road Traffic Act, it is the "duty of the driver to stop, report the accident and give information or documents" if damage is caused to an animal. The legislation, last updated on 11 March, covers horse, cattle, ass, mule, sheep, pigs, goats or dogs, but not cats. Several campaigners are calling for more legislation on road traffic collisions involving cats, and a petition that received 102,437 signatures led to a debate in Westminster Hall on 9 January 2023. Ms French said: "If the same rules apply to a dog, why does it not apply to a cat? They're a pet, they're in someone's house, I just don't understand it. "There has to be a law in place. I think people are heartless if they don't stop. It's been a very traumatic and heartbreaking situation and I don't want anyone else to deal with that." Ms French still has five cats including Trixie who gave birth to Shadow and Oddball. An RSPCA spokesperson said: "Our sympathies go to the owner of the two kittens who were killed in such upsetting circumstances. "We would firmly support a change in the law which would mean drivers would legally have to stop and report the incident to police if they hit a cat, the same way they currently do for dogs, pigs, horses, cattle and goats."
  12. https://www.bbc.com/sport/cricket/68580140 Harry Tector hit a superb 56 and Ben White claimed four wickets as Ireland defeated Afghanistan by 38 runs in the first of three Twenty20 matches. Tector's fifth T20 half-century helped Ireland to 149-6 in the United Arab Emirates. White took four wickets and Josh Little a hat-trick as Afghanistan fell 38 runs short. "It was a fantastic performance, a real team performance," said Ireland captain Paul Stirling. After losing the one-day international series 2-0, Stirling added: "It's no mean feat beating Afghanistan. I know it's not necessarily their home soil, but they play a huge amount of cricket here. "We've got to put this behind us again and see if we can win a series because it will probably only get tougher, and we'll expect Afghanistan to keep improving as well." Afghans defeat tourists in third ODI to secure 2-0 series win Ireland took to the crease first in Sharjah as Andrew Balbirnie and Stirling built up an opening partnership. Balbirnie was first to be dismissed when he was caught by Rahmanullah Gurbaz on 22, and Lorcan Tucker was next to fall on four in the seventh over. Returning captain Rashid Khan inflicted a quick-fire double when Stirling was caught by Ibrahim Zadran, and the spinner bowled Curtis Campher first ball. However, Tector's stand was crucial and that allowed Ireland to end their 20 overs at 149-6. Ireland landed an early blow when Mark Adair removed Gurbaz with the very first ball of the innings and Little struck twice in the second over to remove Sediqullah Atal and then Azmatullah Omarzai, to leave Afghanistan struggling at 4-3. Wickets for White and Barry McCarthy restricted Afghanistan to 50-5 inside nine overs, before the former dismissed Ijaz Ahmadzai and Kharote with back-to-back balls and then got rid of Mohammad Nabi. Little returned to claim his hat-trick when he got the better of the talismanic Rashid, who was making his return from a back injury. That wicket put Ireland in control and McCarthy struck the final blow to leave Afghanistan all out for 111 with eight balls to spare. The second T20 takes place at the same venue on Sunday before Monday's third and final match.
  13. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-68586062 Shops and schools have been closed in the Russian city of Belgorod after bombardments that authorities there have blamed on Ukraine. Belgorod governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said two people were killed - as voting continues in a general election Vladimir Putin is certain to win. Air defence systems downed eight Ukrainian missiles, Mr Gladkov said. Mr Putin accused Ukraine of trying to disrupt his bid for another six-year term. Students in Belgorod - which is near the border with Ukraine - will not attend school on Monday and Tuesday, the governor said. While shopping centres in Belgorod will be closed on Sunday and Monday, Mr Gladkov added. Mr Gladkov said one woman was killed in a car park while with her son, as they walked a dog. "Medics are fighting for her son's life," the governor added. Images circulating on social media show a car park billowing with smoke and fire. Belgorod has been the target of several retaliatory strikes from Kyiv. The Russian defence ministry confirmed that it had "inflicted losses" in the border areas of Ukraine and the Belgorod and Kursk regions. Also on Saturday, the governor of the Samara region - some 850km (530 miles) southeast of Moscow - said Ukrainian drones targeted two oil refineries. In a post on Telegram, Dmitry Azarov said one of the refineries, in Syzran, had been set alight but there were no casualties. A Ukrainian source told Reuters Kyiv's SBU intelligence agency struck three Samara region Rosneft refineries - in Syzran, Novokuibyshevsk and Kuibyshevsk. Kyiv has not commented about the attacks in Belgorod. Rosenberg: Russia's stage-managed election Putin: From Russia's KGB to a presidency defined by war Russian arrests as ballot boxes targeted in Putin vote The elections, which are described as neither free nor fair by critics, are set to see Mr Putin win six more years in office. The result is not in doubt as Mr Putin has no credible opponent. Potential candidates who opposed Russia's invasion of Ukraine were barred from running. While Mr Putin's most vocal critic, Alexei Navalny, died suddenly in an Arctic prison last month. Mr Navalny's spokespeople have accused the Kremlin of killing the politician. These suggestions have been vehemently denied by the Russian government. His widow, Yulia Navalnaya, called on Kremlin opponents to go to polling stations en masse at noon on Sunday to protest against the election. Despite these elections being skewed in Mr Putin's favour, voting on Friday was filled with acts of vandalism at polling stations. Reuters A woman pours a liquid into a ballot box, during the Russian presidential election in Moscow, Russia, in this screen grab taken from a video recording of a screen showing CCTV footage, March 15, 2024Reuters Officials said that there had been five incidents across Russia of dye being dropped into ballot boxes Incidents of vandalism involved green dye being poured into ballot boxes, the boxes being set alight and fireworks being set off inside polling stations, state media reported. "They try to scare us, but this is not a nation that can be intimidated," 68-year-old Elena Kirsanova told AFP. On Saturday, the ruling United Russia party said it had endured a large-scale hacking attack on its website, as reported by AFP. Voting is taking place in Russia over three days until Sunday, spanning several time zones. Polling stations opened in the Kamchatka Peninsula, Russia's easternmost region, at 08:00 local time on Friday (20:00 GMT on Thursday) and will finally close in the westernmost Kaliningrad exclave at 20:00 on Sunday.
  14. https://www.gadgets360.com/mobiles/news/motorola-edge-50-fusion-specifications-india-launch-expected-5251272 Motorola has announced that it will launch a new smartphone in India soon. The Lenovo-owned smartphone maker has begun to tease some of the specifications of its next smartphone, with a few days to go before the phone makes its debut in the country. While Motorola is yet to officially reveal the name of the upcoming smartphone or a launch date, the specifications revealed by the company suggest that it will be a mid-range smartphone — like the purported Motorola Edge 50 Fusion. In the series of posts on X (formerly known as Twitter) Motorola has revealed that its next smartphone will be equipped with a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 chip. This is a mobile processor that is found on mid-range handsets, which means the upcoming Motorola phone could be launched in the same segment. The company has also included an image of a rectangular object with a quick charging animation — this suggests that Motorola's yet-to-be-announced handset could offer support for fast wired charging or wireless charging. The third object shown in the teaser appears to be a smartphone camera lens, but it is currently unclear which camera the company is referring to. The company previously teased a smartphone with a curved display in a short video posted to X. The handset is shown with round edges on left and right sides of the screen. The rear panel is also briefly shown, with the Motorola "batwing" logo shown in a small depression on the back of the phone. The video also confirms that a Motorola Edge series phone will be launched soon. Earlier this week, Motorola announced via a press release that it would hold a launch event on April 3 and teased the "fusion of art and intelligence". While the company hasn't announced any details of the smartphone(s) that will be launched at the event, the teaser contains the same words (intelligence and art) as the teasers being shared on X. With its next launch event fast approaching, we can speculate that Motorola plans to launch the Moto Edge 50 series in India, and the smartphone being teased by the firm could be the Motorola Edge 50 Fusion or the Edge 50 Pro. Considering the mid-range Snapdragon chipset teased by the company, the former could make its debut in the coming days — we can expect to hear more details about Motorola's next handset in the coming days.
  15. https://techxplore.com/news/2024-03-cozy-game-players.html The COVID pandemic transformed our lives in ways many of us are still experiencing, four years later. One of these changes was the significant uptake in gaming as a hobby, chief among them being "cozy games" like Animal Crossing: New Horizons (2020). Players sought comfort in these wholesome virtual worlds, many of which allowed them to socialize from the safety of their homes. Cozy games, with their comforting atmospheres, absence of winning or losing, simple gameplay, and often heartwarming storylines provided a perfect entry point for a new hobby. They also offered predictability and certainty at a time when there wasn't much to go around. Cozy games are often made by small, independent developers. "Indie games" have long been evangelized as the purest form of game development—something anyone can do, given enough perseverance. This means they can provide an entry point for creators who hadn't made games before, but were nevertheless interested in it, enabling a new array of diverse voices and stories to be heard. In May 2020, near the start of the pandemic, the small poetry game A Solitary Spacecraft, which was about its developer's experience of their first few months in lockdown, was lauded as particularly poignant. Such games showcase a potential angle for effective cozy game development: a personal one. Personal themes are often explored through cozy games. For instance, Chicory and Venba (both released in 2023) tackle difficult topics like depression and immigration, despite their gorgeous aesthetics. This showcases the diversity of experiences on display within the medium. However, as the world emerges from the pandemic's shadow, the games industry is facing significant challenges. Economic downturns and acquisitions have caused large layoffs across the sector. Historically, restructurings like these, or discontent with working conditions, have led talented laid-off developers to create their own companies and explore indie development. In the wake of the pandemic and the cozy game boom, these developers may have more personal stories to tell. Making my own cozy game I developed my own cozy and personal game during the pandemic and quickly discovered that creating these games in a post-lockdown landscape is no mean feat. What We Take With Us (2023) merges reality and gameplay across various digital formats: a website, a Discord server that housed an online alternate reality game and a physical escape room. I created the game during the pandemic as a way to reflect on my journey through it, told through the videos of game character Ana Kirlitz. Players would follow in Ana's footsteps by completing a series of 10 tasks in their real-world space, all centered on improving well-being—something I and many others desperately needed during the pandemic. The trailer for my game, What We Take With Us. But creating What We Take With Us was far from straightforward. There were pandemic hurdles like creating a physical space for an escape room amid social distancing guidelines. And, of course, the emotional difficulties of wrestling with my pandemic journey through the game's narrative. The release fared poorly, and the game only garnered a small player base—a problem emblematic of the modern games industry. These struggles were starkly contrasted by the feedback I received from players who played the game, however. This is a crucial lesson for indie developers: the creator's journey and the player's experience are often worlds apart. Cozy, personal games, as I discovered, can change the lives of those who play them, no matter how few they reach. They can fundamentally change the way we think about games, allow us to reconnect with old friends, or even inspire us to change careers—all real player stories. Lessons in cozy game development I learned so much about how cozy game development can be made more sustainable for creators navigating the precarious post-lockdown landscape. This is my advice for other creators. First, collaboration is key. Even though many cozy or personal games (like Stardew Valley) are made by solo creators, having a team can help share the often emotional load. Making games can be taxing, so practicing self-care and establishing team-wide support protocols is crucial. Share your successes and failures with other developers and players. Fostering a supportive community is key to success in the indie game landscape. Second, remember that your game, however personal, is a product—not a reflection of you or your team. Making this distinction will help you manage expectations and cope with feedback. Third, while deeply considering your audience may seem antithetical to personal projects, your game will ultimately be played by others. Understanding them will help you make better games. The pandemic reignited the interest in cozy games, but subsequent industry-wide troubles may change games, and the way we make them, forever. Understanding how we make game creation more sustainable in a post-lockdown, post-layoff world is critical for developers and players alike. For developers, it's a reminder that their stories, no matter how harrowing, can still meaningfully connect with people. For players, it's an invitation to embrace the potential for games to tell such stories, fostering empathy and understanding in a world that greatly needs it.
  16. https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/manufacturing/asml-delivers-3rd-generation-euv-chipmaking-tool-for-2nm-and-beyond This week, ASML delivered its 3rd Generation extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography tool, the Twinscan NXE:3800E, with a projection lens featuring a 0.33 numerical aperture. The system significantly increases performance compared to the existing Twinscan NXE:3600D machine. It is designed for fabricating chips at leading-edge technologies, including 3nm, 2nm, and small nodes in the next few years. The ASML Twinscan NXE:3800E represents a leap forward in Low-NA EUV lithography regarding performance (the number of wafers processed per hour) and matched machined overlay. The new system can process over 195 wafers per hour at a 30 mJ/cm^2 dose and promises a further increase in performance to 220 wph with a throughput upgrade. In addition, the new tool offers a less than 1.1 nm-matched machine overlay (wafer alignment accuracy). "Chipmakers have a need for speed," ASML revealed in a statement published on X. "The first Twinscan NXE:3800E is now being installed in a chip fab. With its new wafer stages, the system will deliver leading edge productivity for printing advanced chips. We are pushing lithography to new limits." Increased throughput will increase the economic efficiency of the Twinscan NXE:3800E machine when producing chips on 4nm/5nm and 3nm-class process technologies for logic makers. The improved performance of ASML's Twinscan NXE:3800E is expected to significantly mitigate one of the primary drawbacks of EUV technology, which is its relatively low performance, thereby enabling more efficient and cost-effective chip production. This will make process technologies that rely on EUV more accessible to chip designers with budgets that are not as vast as those of Apple, AMD, Intel, Nvidia, and Qualcomm. Also, the tool will be crucial for memory makers such as Micron, Samsung, and SK Hynix. In addition, the Twinscan NXE:3800E's enhanced performance will be particularly useful for making chips on 2nm and subsequent classes of fabrication technologies that will need EUV double patterning. Improvements in the matched machine overlay will benefit sub-3nm-class production nodes. However, the sophistication and capabilities of machines like the NXE:3800E come at a substantial cost, with a price tag of around $180 million each. Such high costs mean it takes some time to depreciate the costs of these lithography tools. However, for ASML's clientele, which comprises a select group of significant logic and memory fabrication companies, the NXE:3800E offers a path to bolster their production capabilities of cutting-edge chips. This is crucial for these companies as they strive to meet the growing global demand for semiconductors, expand their production capacities, and manage the economics of chip manufacturing. Introducing more advanced and efficient EUV scanners like the NXE:3800E is critical to achieving these objectives. Looking ahead, ASML is not resting on its laurels, with plans for further innovation in the form of the Twinscan NXE:4000F, another generation of Low-NA EUV scanner, slated for release around 2026. This ongoing development underscores ASML's commitment to advancing Low-NA EUV manufacturing technology despite the looming adoption of High-NA litho tools.
