Link : https://www.google.com/amp/s/gamerant.com/death-stranding-gadgets-character-skill-development-solitary-experience/amp/ Death Stranding is a strange game. One minute players are walking down the side of a mountain, the next they may be floating naked in the afterlife. Despite its strangeness, almost everyone knows that the core gameplay loop of Death Stranding involves delivering packages from place to place. The beginning of the game makes this task simple for players. Equipped with some rope, ladders, and a spare pair of boots, players carry their cargo from point A to point B by walking across a wasteland, encountering unique landmarks and phenomena to look at. Players may run into a river or a mountainside, but can easily cross these obstacles using their aforementioned tools. It's a slow, deliberate process that makes players take in their surroundings and the solitary situation they find themselves in. They'll even be treated to one of Death Standing's rare music tracks upon making it to a new area for the first time. However, this feeling doesn't last forever.Ropes and ladders won't be enough to retain the player's attention for the entirety of the game, so Death Stranding starts adding more gadgetry. By the end of the Eastern Region, the game's starting area, players have access to things like motorcycles, exoskeletons, and weaponry, all of which are craftable by taking materials to the fabricators found anywhere connected to the chiral network. One of the most important tools added to the player's belt is the Portable Chiral Constructor (PCC), a device capable of creating structures in areas covered by the chiral network. With it, they can create bridges to cross gaps, postboxes to store cargo, and generators to power electrical devices such as the aforementioned motorcycles and exoskeletons.This arsenal of gadgets is vastly expanded upon reaching the Central Region, where the bulk of Death Stranding takes place. As players make deliveries and engage in the game's main story, they gain access to buildable structures like ziplines that help with vertical and horizontal traversal, trucks that allow tons of cargo to be transported, and most important of all: roads. These roads require a lot of materials to repair, and players looking to fix their world's highways almost always turn to the donations of others using online functionality. Once fixed these paved pathways make Death Stranding's otherwise slow gameplay trivial. No one would want to waste 10 minutes walking with a limited amount of cargo when they could just load up a truck and take the same trip with more goods in about three minutes.While the overabundance of gadgets makes the game easier, it de-emphasizes Death Standing's feelings of loneliness and isolation. This could tie into the story, as players are slowly bringing America back together again, but from a gameplay perspective it feels wholly different from the beginning of the game. Players who used to enjoy exploring Death Stranding's world are more likely to make a beeline for the next location so that they can connect it to the chiral network. More connections mean more bandwidth, which in-turn makes for more craftable structures and easier deliveries.The players' arsenal is further enhanced in Death Stranding: Director's Cut, where structures like the cargo catapult, delivery bots, and further expanded highways in the mountains are present. The game becomes less about the solitary experience and more about transporting large amounts of cargo as quickly and reliably as possible. While this is Sam Bridges' job, it cuts into the downtime at that he gets when making deliveries. Death Stranding is a game whose themes are best experienced at a slow pace. The game funnels players into slower situations mostly at the start, and during treks to connect other strands to the chiral network. Isolation and loneliness take time to sink in, and players can't experience this as acutely if they're blasting around one of Death Stranding: Directors Cut's racetracks or driving 80 miles per hour down a highway in a motorcycle.Death Stranding is available now on PC, PS4, and PS5. Director's Cut is available on PS5 and will launch for PC on March 30.

The report, from gamified programming outfit Codingame, was culled from its community of two million developers (along with tech recruiters) and showed that the US remained the top-paying country for software engineers, with an average annual salary of $95,879. Furthermore, more than 40 percent of developers working in the US raked in over $100k a year and 5 percent pull in more than $200k per annum, according to the report. Close behind was Switzerland, with a $90,462 average salary, Canada was at $71,193, while UK techies trailed in fourth, with an average salary of $68,664. Still nothing to be sneezed at, but quite some way behind the US. It could be worse. Germany came in at sixth place with $61,390. France was down at ninth with $47,617, and Spain rounded out the top 10 with an average salary of $39,459 for software engineers. Before anyone feels too hard done by, software engineers in India, Morocco, and Tunisia were at the bottom of the table, with averages of $19,553, $18,318, and $16,796 respectively. JavaScript survey: Most use React but satisfaction low Working in Arm's engineering team? You're probably happy with your pay rise £42k for a top-class software engineer? It's no wonder uni research teams can't recruit Stack Overflow survey: Microsoft IDEs dominate, GCP and Azure battle behind AWS The survey did not take into account the cost of living in the countries featured in the league table (comparing the cost of a house in San Francisco with one in Pune would provide more context), nor did it break down the numbers into what languages paid the best. It did, however, tell us that the average it cited was the mean rather than median. A glance at the Stack Overflow survey for 2021 shows that Clojure is a high-paying language, DynamoDB engineers are making the big bucks, while AWS is just beating Azure on salary for cloud experts. Still, while UK coders may not be the highest salaried in the world, the average salary has comfortably broken through the £50k ($66,300) barrier and remains higher than the national average. After Switzerland, Brits also pocket the most cash compared to their European equivalents. Is that enough to stop techies in search of a better deal jumping through the hoops set by certain companies? Well, we are in the midst of the Great Resignation after all... ®

Link : https://www.hpcwire.com/off-the-wire/agnostiq-releases-benchmark-research-on-quantum-computing-hardware/ TORONTO, March 22, 2022 — Agnostiq, Inc., the first-of-its-kind quantum computing SaaS startup, today announced its latest benchmark research which analyzed the state of quantum computing hardware to determine its current and future practicality as a mainstream solution. The findings show that quantum computing hardware has improved over time and that application-specific benchmarks can serve as a more practical yardstick for comparing the capabilities of alternative types of quantum hardware. “This is clear evidence that things are heading in the right direction for quantum optimization,” says Jack Baker, a quantum algorithms researcher at Aqnostiq. “With quantum hardware receiving increasing interest and investment every year, these performance increases are poised to accelerate,” he added. With the steady increase of quantum bits (qubits) made available by hardware providers in recent years, the relative performance and practical value of quantum computers has been difficult to assess. General benchmark studies have been conducted and deemed inconclusive, as they are not predictive of performance. Agnostiq utilized application-specific benchmarks and conducted its research using a portfolio optimization task to determine whether quantum computers have actually improved over time for specific use cases. The team discovered that the performance of gate-model quantum computers has improved in recent years for performing optimization problems, which is further indication the field is on a path towards commercialization. For more complex variations of the algorithm, the team also discovered that solution quality can improve as more quantum resources are added. This was a novel and previously unseen result. These findings should encourage organizations who depend on large scale optimization, simulation, or machine learning for mission critical tasks to invest in quantum computing technologies. Among the findings: High quality portfolios were produced using quantum circuits requiring larger numbers of gates (operations on the qubits) than previously demonstrated. Since increasing the number of gates produces more noise, this shows the quality of hardware has improved for performing combinatorial optimization. The peak solution quality was observed at higher depth (p=4) on 3 qubits on an IonQ trapped ion machine. As a non-trivial effect of studying application dependent performance, an IBM machine with the lowest qubit quality (quantum volume = 😎 performed best of all the IBM machines tested. Quantum computers presently give variable results depending on the time they were accessed. Variability needs to be considered with all benchmarking numbers, as it can be as high as 29 percent. “We are at an interesting point where every hardware paradigm has its own set of performance metrics that they are optimizing against, and each of them is improving across different dimensions” says Agnostiq’s head of R&D, Santosh Kumar Radha. “We recognized a need to better understand how these non-trivial improvements translate to real-world applications.” Fueled by the technology’s rising po[CENSORED]rity, the global market for quantum computing is expected to reach $5 billion by 2028. Quantum computing has the capabilities to speed up computations in the coming years, which is anticipated to accelerate innovations in many industry verticals. But, it remains largely inaccessible to the enterprise, due mainly to the novelty of the technology and the high level of expertise required to build applications. Agnostiq is building a suite of tools to lower the barriers for enterprises to enter into the world of quantum computing.The company recently released Covalent, the first open-source workflow orchestration platform designed specifically for quantum and high performance computing. Covalent aims to make quantum and high performance computing resources more accessible to practitioners, including researchers, machine learning engineers and data scientists. The company has secured $5 million in funding to date. Investors include Differential Ventures, Scout Ventures, Boost VC, Tensility Venture Partners, and Green Egg Ventures. About Agnostiq Inc.

Link : https://www.traveldailynews.com/post/the-best-gadgets-for-the-traveler A compact action camera or an ordinary camera will help to bring pleasant emotions and memories from the trip in the form of photos or videos, and the pre-purchased modern gadgets will allow you to prepare for all possible adventures and protect yourself from a variety of risk factors. So what kind of devices are they claiming to be indispensable companions of the modern traveler? Of course, you can capture the beauty of an unfamiliar city or country with a cell phone. In addition, the phone can be helpful for leisure activities on the plane, for example, to play live baccarat . Fortunately, the characteristics of cameras allow you to create content that is practically as good as the one made with professional equipment. However, battery power consumption and smartphone memory to shoot photos and video is not the most rational decision. It is better to leave the phone for its main functional tasks, or more precisely, for communication. For photography and video recording, it is better to use a camera. The best option for tourists is an inexpensive action camera that allows continuous shooting from the first person. We will tell you what gadgets you can not do without while traveling. Modern travel gadgets - which of them will be helpful? To have a safe and exciting vacation, you should take modern gadgets when you go camping. Devices no winter adventure can do without - this smartphone, quadcopter, action camera. And what else can and should you have in your backpack? So that your camera or camera can be used to take a lot of high-quality photos and videos without obstacles, it's a good idea to find room in your suitcase for an external hard drive or memory card. These gadgets will help you once and for all forget about the need to delete old photos and clips to free up the built-in storage. The versatile high-capacity charger allows you to stay in touch even in places where you can't charge your phone the traditional way. Moreover, the powerful external battery can charge your phone and overhead wireless headphones, smart wristwatch or fitness bracelet (if there is a jack), tablet PC, USB-lantern, and many other gadgets. Therefore, choosing a portable charger with high-security features, connectors of different types, and high-capacity built-in batteries is worth picking for long trips. The best gadgets for the traveler You can choose a compact wind power station mounted on a mobile home or a car trailer among the vast selection of gadgets. An additional inverter, producing current, makes it possible to organize the benefits of civilization at the camping site, not just to charge your phone. Access to Wi-Fi from anywhere in the world. The modern gadget allows you to stay connected no matter where you are! A compact model with a diameter of only 9 cm will not take much space. A mobile hotspot with a global SIM card shares the Internet with ten devices. It comes with an intelligent assistant with a built-in 8-megapixel camera; in addition, the gadget can be used as a power bank. "Security Button ."The new "smart" gadget is a small button; when pressed, the traveler sends an email or text message with the coordinates of his location. It is the best guarantee of safety, not only during travel but also on the walk. Exciting and valuable travel gadgets become more and more every year. Some of them seem unusual and even somewhat fantastic. However, they are beneficial to tourists in difficult hiking situations and while in a foreign country. Clothing with electric heating Such hiking clothing will eliminate frostbite and hypothermia. A person will feel comfortable even in a frost of - 60 degrees. The dress is membrane fabric with special heating cables between the layers. They should be powered from the Porsche Bank via USB. Today you can find on sale jackets, insoles, vests, pants, overalls, mittens, and boots with heating. Handheld coffee maker If mornings start with coffee, you can't break tradition even while camping. However, you can take a handheld espresso machine with you, which is no larger than an eyeglass case. The coffee is delicious, and the gadget does not require electricity to work. All you have to do is pour hot water into the machine and press a button. And voila! Enjoy your espresso! Collapsible cup Reusable and regular cups are inconvenient for their size. Moreover, they take up too much space in a backpack. So now, hikers can take a modern folding tumbler, easily assembled into a small puck. Such a gadget is durable and resilient; in addition, responsible manufacturers make it from environmentally friendly materials.Charging stove What to do if the power bank is out of order? The charging stove is always there for you when you're out of power. It generates electricity from the flame and is suitable for any modern camping utensil. All you need to do is collect dried wood in the form of moss, cones, twigs, fill up the stove, and that's it! Thanks to the built-in fans, the flame is clean and smokeless. While the stove is working, you can have time to charge your devices—an indispensable gadget for hiking in the mountains. Smart bulbs and flashlights with USB output Manufacturers of "camping" gadgets began to supplement power banks with built-in batteries and an additional board for charging via USB. "Smart" tent In addition to its primary purpose, this camping item stores solar energy through photovoltaic cells in the frame. The current is used to light the tent or charge gadgets. The "smart" tent often has a geolocator, which allows you to navigate the area. Solar panels Portable solar panels are functional for long hikes when batteries and rechargeable batteries may not be enough. A photovoltaic panel combines with power banks and collects solar energy well throughout the day. However, keep in mind that the efficiency of solar charging depends on the time of year, the weather, and the climate zone. Hand warmers USB warmer can warm up to a temperature of 35-40 degrees. Stylish design, from a plush toy to the shape of an animal, allows you to choose the best option for a hiking gadget. Gloves with Bluetooth headset The touch screen of modern gadgets is inconsistent during cold weather. If a tourist does not want to make unnecessary gestures, it is worth paying attention to the gloves with Bluetooth headset. They provide comfortable use of mobile communication even in extreme cold, without taking your smartphone out of your pocket. The speaker and earpiece are on the little finger and thumb.Portable water purifier It is not always possible to find clean drinking water when traveling, so you need to filter to the campaign. The modern model is presented in a small tube with a system to purify freshwater from impurities. You need to draw water into any container and pull it through the filter. The purifying capacity of the portable gadget is enough for 100 liters of water.Mini wind generators and hydro turbines Modern manufacturers produce gadgets in the form of a sailor a mini fan-type turbine. Sometimes there are 50-watt devices with a built-in battery.

According to The Guardian, the agency says it followed “alarms sounded by many Italian and European organisations specialised in computer security” over the potential use of Kaspersky software for hacking assaults in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The agency reportedly asked the company to provide details on the number and profiles of Italian users and whether their data was being transferred to Russia or elsewhere. Reuters reported that Germany’s Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) also warned users of the antivirus software, saying the company could be coerced by Russian government agents to hack IT systems abroad. However, Kaspersky said it is a private-owned company and has no ties to the Russian government whatsoever and BSI is politically motivated. “We believe this decision is not based on a technical assessment of Kaspersky products – that we continuously advocated for with the BSI and across Europe – but instead is being made on political grounds. We will continue to assure our partners and customers in the quality and integrity of our products, and we will be working with the BSI for clarification on its decision and for the means to address its and other regulators’ concerns,” Kaspersky said in a statement. The cybersecurity company added that they believe in transparency and that continued implementation of concrete measures to demonstrate their enduring commitment to integrity and trustworthiness to their customers is the most important thing to them. “We believe that peaceful dialogue is the only possible instrument for resolving conflicts. War isn’t good for anyone,” the company said. Kaspersky said statistics provided by users to the company can be processed on the Kaspersky Security Network’s services located in various countries around the world, including Canada and Germany.

Link : https://www.theverge.com/22988775/microsoft-windows-11-desktop-watermark-unsupported-hardware Microsoft is pushing ahead with plans to warn Windows 11 users that have installed the operating system on unsupported hardware. In a new update to Windows 11, a watermark has appeared on the desktop wallpaper for unsupported systems, alongside a similar warning in the landing page of the settings app. Microsoft had been testing these changes last month, but they’re now rolling out to Release Preview just ahead of a full release to all Windows 11 users in the coming days. While Microsoft doesn’t mention the addition of a watermark in its “improvements” list for this update, testers have noticed it’s included.If Windows 11 is running on unsupported hardware, a new desktop watermark will state “System requirements not met. Go to settings to learn more.” It’s similar, but far less prominent, to the semi-transparent watermark that appears in Windows if you haven’t activated the OS.It’s been possible to bypass Microsoft’s minimum hardware requirements for Windows 11 and install the operating system freely. The controversial hardware requirements mean Windows 11 only officially supports Intel 8th Gen Coffee Lake or Zen+ and Zen 2 CPUs and up, leaving millions of PCs behind. Anyone that has used the workaround will now start to see this warning in Windows 11. Microsoft has used similar warnings for unactivated versions of Windows in the past, and restricts features like dark mode, personalization settings, and themes from being modified until a system is activated. Microsoft doesn’t appear to be experimenting with any similar feature restrictions, and the desktop watermark can likely be disabled with some registry changes.

Link : https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.newsweek.com/space-force-ditches-annual-fitness-testing-favor-wearable-gadgets-1689680%3famp=1 The U.S. Space Force isn't just placing cutting-edge technology among the stars: It's also placing it onto the bodies of its own service members, with wearable fitness trackers that will track sleep patterns, exercise habits and more.The fitness trackers are just one of several moves the Space Force has recently taken to modernize the U.S. military, but experts worry that the trackers could create security issues. In an August 16 memo, Space Force official Patricia Mulcahy announced that the force will soon ditch the annual fitness test used by the other military branches.Instead, the force will use "wearable technology and a software solution paired with fitness/workout regimens and preventative health practices to increase self-awareness, provide continuous visibility into overall health and fitness, and motivate members and their leaders to increase performance," the memo said.All members of the Space Force, called Guardians, will serve as beta-testers in a year-long evaluation period for the new technology.The Guardians will be wearing black health monitoring rings that have been seen on the fingers of several branch leaders, the military news website Task and Purpose reported. The rings monitor heart rate and can detect rest and exertion. The wearable devices will be linked with software from FitRankings—a company based in Austin, Texas, which provides data graphics connected to various wearable fitness trackers, like Nike Run Club and Fitbit wrist devices. The company has previously worked with USA Cycling, USA Triathlon, Under Armour and the grocery store chain H-E-B, Air Force Magazine reported.Space Force official Patricia Mulcahy said that the data from the devices won't be used to penalize or promote Guardians. Rather, the devices could categorize individual Guardians into a green-yellow-red light determining their physical "readiness," Space Force Chief Master Sergeant Roger A. Towberman said, according to the aforementioned publication.The devices are also part of a larger program to focus on Guardian's mental and overall wellness. The data could also be used to issue group challenges, allow members of a team to see one another's progress or to ask individual Guardians simply to commit to exercise rather than specific fitness routines. The continuous monitoring would be a change from the other branches' traditional habit of evaluating an individual's strength and endurance in a single test once a year. The change also makes sense considering that space operations mostly involve lots of sitting desk work, like "sitting at a satellite control console or monitoring missile launch data on a computer," Military Times reported.However, the wearable devices could potentially create a security risk if FitRankings stores too much data. In 2018, the Pentagon released a memo telling service members not to wear fitness trackers because they could reveal compromising location data to enemies, Military.com reported. The devices could also make Guardians feel that they're being constantly surveilled, Towberman said. Efforts are being made to reduce such possible risks or uneasiness about the devices, Towberman and FitRankings said. The rings are just one part of the Space Force's recent efforts to modernize the U.S. military.The 2022 defense spending bill also includes $1.3 billion for the Space Force to fund technology development projects that will help it keep ahead of America's two largest adversaries in space: Russia and China. The countries have already tested anti-satellite missiles, devoting high-energy lasers to attack satellites, according to the technology publication Wired. As such, the Space Force wants to develop a national security space architecture that is less vulnerable. Such architecture could involve "redundant systems in multiple orbits," increased protection against cyber attacks and reduced reliance on single-point ground control centers, military news site Breaking Defense reported.

The Greece-based software maker and data, cloud and artificial intelligence specialist for the shipping industry had a stellar 2021 during which it opened two fully owned subsidiaries in Singapore and Vancouver to tap into the Southeast Asia and North America markets. While its focus is the digital transformation of the maritime sector, the company is “thrilled” to leave behind the virtual, online and hybrid events of the recent past and replace all with the “good-old-fashioned” Posidonia exhibition, according to CEO Mike Konstantinidis. “Posidonia is an excellent opportunity for us to meet with clients, strengthen and renew relationships, demonstrate and communicate the latest developments on our platform, meet with partners and investigate potential collaborations. Posidonia is definitely one of the major global fairs in the maritime industry,” he added.

Link : https://www.digitalinformationworld.com/2022/03/a-majority-of-it-spending-still-focuses.html?m=1 Upgrading IT infrastructure has been a major focus for most businesses in 2021, and this sentiment is likely going to continue into 2022 because of the fact that this is the sort of thing that could potentially end up allowing them to stay on par with their competitors. There are a lot of major security risks that can emerge if proper upgrades aren’t made, and this can also have a negative impact on the level of efficiency these companies can end up taking advantage of. It turns out that hardware is still the biggest expense for companies when it comes to IT related costs and expenditures, and according to Spiceworks Ziff Davis it comprises 30% of the total budgets that companies tend to dedicate to such things. Much of this budget might be the byproduct of remote working policies, and with all of that having been said and now out of the way it is important to note that laptops generally comprise a larger portion of the hardware budget than desktops. Around 19% of the hardware budget is going to go towards laptops for remote workers, which makes a lot of sense since they would be more useful in a remote work context. However, 14% of hardware budgets are going to be dedicated to desktops as well which indicates that they are not going to go away anytime soon with all things having been considered and taken into account. Much of the hardware costs that companies are bearing have to do with on premises server upgrades, with 56% of IT departments included in this report stating that they plan to implement faster hard drives on these servers such as replacing SATA SSDs with SAS SSDs as well as the lighting fast NVMe SSDs. 54% of businesses also plan on integrating both cloud based as well as on-prem servers over the next two years, so it’s easy to see why hardware will be such a priority for them in their current budgets. This report highlights a lot of the important IT related financial decisions that businesses will be making in the near future.

Link : https://m.independent.ie/business/technology/future-lacks-wow-factor-with-great-gadgets-in-short-supply-41463680.html What is the new, new thing in tech? Is it NFTs? The Metaverse? What about augmented reality? Well, it’s certainly not in hardware or gadgets. As someone who reviews more tech than perhaps anyone else in Ireland, this is the first period I can recall in a long time where there’s nothing really new or surprising to have come into our lives recently. Unless Apple pulls out a surprise hit in its expected upcoming smart glasses, the signs for the immediate future look a bit bland, too. Take last week’s latest iPhone release. The iPhone SE is – as my in-depth review on independent.ie illustrates – a decent update to the previous model of two years ago. Its senior sibling, the iPhone 13, could also be described as being a bit better than the iPhone 12. But unless you’re a chip enthusiast, the improvements here are largely incremental. The same goes for Samsung. Its latest Galaxy S22 phones, all of which I reviewed, are impressive devices in their own right, but anyone with last year’s S21 isn’t missing out on much – and maybe even the S20 from the year before. What about Moore’s Law? Where’s the equivalent to the big-screen breakthroughs of a few years back, which changed the way all of us use phones and computers, as well as how we access media and news content? Where is the repeat of the staggering camera upgrades we saw during that same 2016 to 2018 period, which not only spawned an entire generation’s social media platform (TikTok), but is also the main reason we see smooth, clear footage from war zones in Ukraine – as opposed to jittery, cloudy videos before that.Sure, we might say a handful of Chinese companies have brought the price of good quality handsets down, but by and large smartphones have settled into something of a conservative upgrade cycle. The result is fewer breakthroughs and more physical sameness than at any time in my 20-plus years evaluating them.Try telling the latest OnePlus apart from the new Samsung, Huawei or Oppo. It’s almost impossible. And it’s even worse in other tech categories. TVs? There honestly hasn’t been anything significant to write about since the mainstream introduction of Oled some five years back. Yes, you can get an amazing, budget-friendly picture on a 55-inch set now, but that’s been the case for four or five years. TVs are now basically commoditised displays with a chip built in to show Netflix and Disney Plus, with a port for a Sky or Virgin set-top box. The advent of decent-quality wireless sound bars has helped, but there’s otherwise no real transformation in how the large screens might otherwise fit into our lives, such as occasional use for high-quality video calls. It’s not just that we’re not interested in those uses – the tech to do it with simply isn’t very good. What about laptops and PCs? Again, there’s not much to get them beyond the tech pages to the front pages. What is different about Dell’s best XPS laptop now compared to three years ago? Or HP’s Spectre X360? Or Lenovo’s top ThinkPad (a brand which prides itself on its familiarity of design and features)? Very, very little. I can only think of one single innovation in the laptop world in the last two years: Apple’s M1 chip. This single engine part has basically given us MacBooks with 20-hour battery life capacities, something that is a genuine breakthrough. But other than that, you’re missing nothing if you haven’t upgraded in the last 18 to 24 months. I could go on and on. Headphones? Nothing much since AirPods and their clones. Smartwatches? You can do very little with a Fitbit, Garmin or Apple Watch that you couldn’t do in 2019. Alexa and smart speakers? There isn’t much that’s new. Home appliances? Dyson is plugging away with hair dryers and handheld vacuums, and there are a handful of coffee-makers and cookers that have added more powerful chips and smartphone controls, but there’s not much else happening. The much-ballyhooed smart fridge never did capture our hearts. Gaming machines? They’ve been essentially the same for years. In one way, this is all fine. Some elements of it are good, as standardisation brings minimum quality expectations across the board. But where’s the wow factor? Where are the jaw-dropping new features? For what it’s worth, the product most people think will get the most attention when launched is Apple’s smart glasses. These are expected to be some flavour of augmented reality (AR), building on its iPad’s AR cameras and the company’s long-term belief in AR games and apps. There’s no guarantee they will have mass appeal, given the niche success (although they are a success) of virtual reality goggles and visors. Then again, they said the same about the Apple Watch, which is now by far the world’s best selling watch of any kind. The truth is that when it comes to gadgets there is very little so far this year – or last year – that has really caught anyone’s imagination. Instead, we’re all caught up in hype cycle around NFTs, crypto and Web 3.0. That’s fine, and there are arguments why each of those could change the world as some new type of smartphone or smart glasses. But unless something sparkles soon, we’re entering a phase of comparatively dull gadgetry.
