The $3,499 Vision Pro from Apple Has A Release Date At Last

January 10, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News

According to Apple, the much-anticipated Vision Pro headset will be available for purchase in the US on February 2.

Although a debut date for the UK has not been announced, US buyers may pre-order the $3,499 (£2,749) mixed-reality device starting in mid-January.

It is the company’s first significant new product introduction since the 2015 debut of the Apple Watch.

In June 2023, the headgear was unveiled by the corporation following years of speculation throughout development.

However, problems have arisen since then. The Financial Times reports that Apple has cut its manufacturing estimates in half, from an expected one million devices in 2024 to only 400,000 units.

In addition to the release date, Apple said that the gadget would have 256GB of storage and made it clear that, in the case of an individual who is not able to utilize both eyes equally, the eye-tracking technology in the headset will be able to monitor one dominant eye.

Interestingly, though, the company is attempting to distinguish the headset from competing products by instructing developers to refer to their applications as “spatial computing” rather than “headgear.”

It stated in a blog post aimed at developers, “Don’t label your app experience as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), extended reality (XR), or mixed reality (MR).

Additionally, Apple has posted an online clip that appears to be an effort to replicate the excitement around the 2007 arrival of the iPhone and has characters from movies wearing helmets and goggles.

If it is effective, Apple may be able to generate new multibillion-dollar revenue streams. However, given that so many people worldwide struggle to pay for necessities, the expensive cost will probably confine this to the status of a toy for the wealthy.

The “mixed-reality” experience consists of digital stuff that is projected into your environment.

A single button on the upper right section of the headset has to be physically pressed in order for you to see the familiar app icons for iMessage, Photos, and Apple TV (more will appear as developers create them).

From that point on, everything revolves around gesture control. The headset detects your gaze, so when you look at an app, pinching your thumb and fingers together causes it to open.

A physical dial allows you to adjust the degree of immersion by increasing or decreasing the size of the object you’re viewing. It might take up the whole space or have the appearance of a TV screen pressed up against your wall.

However, regardless of your level of immersion, you may see someone walking in front of you in real life.

Nevertheless, if there was a problem during the demo, a representative from Apple would always warn us that it was still in its early stages and that any footage captured during the session could not be uploaded to the internet.

A First Step Toward Ultra-Fast Computers The First Functional Graphene Semiconductor

January 5, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News

Scientists have demonstrated the first semiconductor made of graphene that functions. The finding may permanently alter electronics and computers.

Researchers have achieved a significant advancement in the field of electronics by producing the first functional semiconductor ever using graphene, a substance renowned for its strength, flexibility, light weight, and high resistance.

Their finding coincides with the limiting of silicon, the raw material used to make almost all contemporary devices.

Due to the fact that graphene semiconductors are faster and more energy-efficient than silicon, scientists have been working feverishly to produce them.

According to the authors, the finding opens up new possibilities for the development of electronics and may represent a significant advancement towards the next generation of computers.

The limits of silicon semiconductors are being reached.
Bits, or ones and zeros, are represented by electricity passing through silicon switches in classical computers, such as the chip in your laptop or phone.

“All computers require semiconductors in order to operate. They enable us to design little switches that can be used to turn on and off energy. Computers are able to conduct computations because of the energy that flows through electrical circuits,” said Sarah Haigh, a materials professor at the National Graphene Institute at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom.

A possibility was graphene. The strongest known chemical bonds hold graphene, a 2D substance made up of a single sheet of carbon atoms, together. Similar to honeycomb, these carbons are organized in tessellated hexagons.

About 200 times stronger than steel, it is an extraordinarily strong substance. With just one atomic layer of graphene, it is strong enough to hold up a football.

Additionally, because graphene is so flexible, it may be printed on glass, plastic, or textiles in addition to being used in batteries and electrical equipment.

Scientists are especially excited about its potential application as a quicker and more energy-efficient semiconductor.

According to experts, the breakthrough has enormous promise for the electronics sector. One potential benefit is that it may enable the development of novel graphene semiconductors that are far more potent than silicon equivalents while consuming less energy.

**Semiconductors made of graphene may play a significant role in the development of quantum computers, such as the Chinese prototype.**

Because graphene electronics can turn on and off with less energy, they are more energy-efficient. Additionally, they let electrons to move freely without producing a lot of extra heat that needs to be cooled using fans, which uses energy, according to Haigh.

“This would mean phones could last for weeks without running out of battery, reduce energy consumption in all parts of our lives, reducing costs and the pollution from fossil fuels

According to De Heer, his finding could alter electronics in the future.

The development of quantum computer technology might be expedited, to start with, by the new graphene superconductors.

Though still in the early stages of research, quantum computers can tackle problems that would take conventional supercomputers millennia to solve in a matter of seconds.

According to experts, graphene semiconductors might aid in overcoming the numerous difficulties involved in developing quantum computers.

January 3, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News

After a complete set of specifications leaked, NVIDIA teases the
GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Series, which includes the GeForce
RTX 4080 SUPER with a 2,550 MHz boost clock and 23 Gbps of memory.

Although NVIDIA hasn’t revealed what it will be revealing at its Special Address at CES 2024, a new promotional image that has been posted to the company’s official GeForce social media pages, including the GeForce Brazil account and Facebook, suggests that it may be the GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Series.

Here’s a big, wallpaper-worthy version of the NVIDIA graphic that appears to tease the GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Series as something extraordinary, even if it will share the same shroud as the current standard versions, complete with ARGB lighting effects:

Shortly after the complete specifications for the GeForce RTX 40 SUPER Series leaked online, exposing higher base and/or boost clocks for every model—including a faster memory clock for the GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER—the new promotional picture was released.

According to a source, NVIDIA is improving the SUPER version by giving its 16GB GDDR6X RAM a little performance bump to 23 Gbps. As a result, the bandwidth over the 256-bit memory bus increases by 2.6% to 736 GB/s. The memory speed of the RTX 4070Ti/4070 SUPER will remain at 21 Gbps.

It goes on, “These SKUs are said to retain the same boost clocks as the original versions (2610 MHz and 2475 MHz, respectively), for the RTX 4070 Ti SUPER and RTX 4070 SUPER. The base clocks, which are now at 2340 MHz (+30 MHz) and 1980 MHz (+60 MHz), are just cosmetically altered.

These charts list their enhancements and specifications, including TDPs, however it doesn’t seem like price is yet known:

China’s BYD Is Getting Closer To Capturing The Top Spot For Electric Vehicles

January 2, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

China’s BYD is getting closer to unseating Tesla, the electric vehicle maker owned by Elon Musk, as the largest seller globally.

In the last three months of 2023, the company reported on Monday that it had sold a record 526,000 battery-only vehicles.

A more than 70% increase in sales in December contributed to that.
Before Wall Street starts on Tuesday, US-based Tesla is expected to announce its most recent quarterly vehicle manufacturing and delivery statistics.

The Shenzen, China-based BYD reported that over 3 million “new energy vehicles” (NEVs), which comprise hybrid and battery-only cars, were sold by the company over the whole year.

According to the company, battery-only vehicles accounted for over 1.6 million of its total sales.

According to industry experts, Tesla sold 1.82 million electric vehicles in 2023 overall, including around 483,000 in the final three months of 2023.

Although Mr. Musk had stated in January of last year that Tesla could produce two million vehicles by 2023, he has since issued a warning that the demand for his company’s vehicles was being adversely affected by rising financing rates.

BYD Logo

Wang Chuanfu, the CEO of BYD, and his cousin co-founded the company in Shenzhen in 1995.

The firm gained recognition for producing rechargeable batteries that rivaled more expensive Japanese imports and were utilized in computers, cellphones, and other devices.

In 2002, it began selling shares on the public market and expanded by acquiring Qinchuan Automobile Company, a state-owned automobile manufacturer that was having financial difficulties.

Berkshire Hathaway, the seasoned US investor led by Warren Buffett, has been a stakeholder of BYD since 2008.

As to analysts, BYD’s original business, batteries, is responsible for its rise. Being some of the priciest components of an EV, BYD may save a significant amount of money by producing them internally.

Many of BYD’s rivals get their batteries from other producers.

Tokyo Auto Salon, Suzuki’s New Off-Roader Is The Cutest Concept You Will See

January 2, 2024 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

Japanese manufacturers and tuners have a venue to display their most outrageous creations at the Tokyo Auto Salon. We’re already in love with Suzuki’s Super Carry Mountain Trail, a small, tough off-road idea that it’s bringing to the show.

We’re Already In Love With Suzuki’s Compact, Tough Off-Road Super Carry Mountain Trai Concept, Which Company Is Introducing To The Tokyo Auto Salon.

The Mountain Trail idea, according to a translation of Suzuki’s release, is “a car for active adults to enjoy the mountains in a stoic manner, it expresses a new worldview of commercial vehicles that can be used not only for business but also for fun.”

An expanded cab variant of the ordinary Suzuki Carry is called the Super Carry. Even though the corporation hasn’t listed every change made to the Mountain Trail, a cursory glance reveals most of the changes.

A light bar above the windshield and a front skid plate with recovery hooks are added to the little vehicle. It appears to have a little winch as well.

US Permits Import Restriction On Smart Watches Apple Appeal

December 28, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Tech News

Apple has announced that it would challenge the US government’s decision to prohibit the sale and import of its Series 9 and Ultra 2 timepieces.

The step was taken after the Biden Administration decided on Tuesday not to relax limitations due to a patent dispute in an emergency manner.

Masimo, a manufacturer of medical devices, has charged Apple of stealing its technology and staff.

As a result, the US International Trade Commission banned the import and sale of Apple watches.

Apple “pre-emptively” banned the devices from US retailers and its website earlier this month. There has been no impact on sales elsewhere.

As A Rally Legend, The Suzuki Jimny Looks Even Better

December 28, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

These Two Crossovers Carry On The Spirit Of The Lancia Delta Integrale And Renault 5

The legendary off-roader and cult favorite Suzuki Jimny is about to get a makeover just in time for the 2024 Tokyo Auto Salon, all thanks to the creative efforts of Japanese tuning company DAMD.

Known for producing unique body packages for little Japanese automobiles, the business will present two striking designs that honor classic European models: the Renault 5 and the esteemed Lancia Delta Integrale.

**Suzuki Jimny for 2024 Tokyo Auto Saloon**

First off, the Jimny, as interpreted by DAMD, is a tiny crossover with headlights that are similar to those of the Renault 5 and a radiator grille that matches the small hatchback.

The Jimny’s white OZ wheels give it a rally-ready appearance, and the little spoiler at the back is a nod to the 5’s soft wing. Interestingly, unlike the original Renault 5 Turbo, a sticker on the side indicates that this vehicle is non-turbo.

DAMD also offers a Jimny that is modeled after the Lancia Delta Integrale if you like a more aggressive appearance. The company’s redesign, with its four circular headlights and yellow fog lamps built into the bumper, perfectly embodies the spirit of the Italian rally hatch. A bigger spoiler is located at the back.

**Suzuki Jimny For The 2024 Tokyo Auto Saloon**

Regretfully, the two crossovers’ rally-inspired styling isn’t complemented by any mechanical changes. The little off-road vehicle in Japan is equipped with a tiny 658-cc three-cylinder turbocharged engine that produces 63 horsepower and 71 pound-feet of torque.

A 1.5-liter naturally aspirated mill with 101 horsepower and 102 lb-ft of torque is available in foreign markets. However, those figures don’t alter.

GPX Reveals Exclusive GTM250R Café Racer For Japan Only

December 28, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Automotive News

Retro-style motorcycles will never go out of style. Even companies with few past accomplishments are producing retro-inspired motorcycles that are more about appearance than tradition. Consider the manufacturer GPX, which is situated in Thailand and was established in 2007. The company offers a large range of retro-styled devices that are marketed in several Asian regions under various labels. It introduced the GTM250R, a new model, in Japan.

Only 150 Examples Of This Compact Retro-Inspired Machine Will Be Produced

GTM250R Cafe Racer Color Option — **GTM250R Cafe Racer**

When it comes to technology, the GTM250R at least has some significantGPX’s effort to create a limited-edition vehicle only available in Japan is the GTM250R. It is a replacement for the GPX Gentleman Racer 200, a reasonably priced yet elegant device that gained popularity due to its neo-retro cafe-racer characteristics.

Regarding the new GTM250R, it has a headlamp cowl with a throwback feel, just like its predecessor. The bike seems streamlined because the fuel tank, seat, and tail section all have straight lines that are parallel to the ground. Strangely, behind the saddle, there’s a fake crankcase that’s actually a component of the bike’s bodywork.

**GPX Unveils Limited Japan-Only GTM250R Cafe Racer**

enhancements over the basic version. The 250cc fuel-injected single-cylinder engine of the GTM250R replaces the 197cc carbureted single found in the Gentleman Racer 200.

It produces 20.4 horsepower, which isn’t exactly an exhilarating ride but is plenty for a quick commute around town. The GPX weighs 148 kg, but with a full tank of petrol, we could expect it to be closer to 160 kg (353 pounds).

The bike’s foundation is essentially the same as that of the previous model. The 17-inch wire-spoke wheels of the GTM250R are covered in road-focused rubber, and the suspension system consists of a rear monoshock with preload adjustment and an inverted front fork.

It’s interesting that the bike has two radially mounted front disc brakes. This is a little excessive for a little bike, so it’s clear that the looks were the main consideration.

Regarding cost and accessibility, the GPX GTM250R will only be available in Japan and will have a 150-unit production run. There are three colors available:

Red
Black
Yellow

The price of this limited edition retro-inspired gadget is 566,500 yen, or around $4,007 USD, for those who wish to obtain one.

Winter break In Punjab Schools Is Probably Extend Till January 8

December 27, 2023 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News

In response to parent demands amid the bitter weather and fog, the Punjabi school education department is considering extending the winter break by one week.

A dense, poisonous fog, sometimes referred to as smog, has engulfed the city, making many people sick, particularly the elderly and school-age children.

Amidst the very low temperatures and heavy fog in the morning, the Department of Education is considering extending the winter break by one week.

Parents have demanded that the school break be extended by one week due to their concerns about the severe weather that is predicted to persist in January.

They point out that a number of private institutions have already been granted a vacation of more than a week, with classes starting again on January 8.

Parents are pleading for an extension of the holidays till January 7 in order to guarantee the safety and well-being of pupils during the cold weather, and this appeal also goes to Punjab government schools.

In a day or two, the Education Department will discuss with the government before making a final decision on whether to extend the vacations.

The possible postponement signifies a cooperative endeavor to give students’ well-being first priority within the difficult weather circumstances.

The Punjab government was forced by the dangerously high levels of pollution to declare early winter breaks for universities and schools. As a result, pupils would not be able to take advantage of the holiday until December 18.
