Taiwan official accuses China of copying chip technology
2024-02-08 14:11:12
On January 9, Bloomberg Economics analysts estimated that the cost of a potential conflict over Taiwan could be about $10 trillion, which is equal to about 10% of global GDP. In particular, missing microcircuits will cause the greatest blow to the economy. Factory production lines for equipment, where high-end Taiwanese chips are the indispensable “golden cog,” will stop. Automotive and other industries that use lower-grade chips will also be significantly affected.

OM System presents 9-18mm and 150-600mm
OM System introduces two new Micro Four Thirds lenses, the 9-18mm f/4-5.6 ED II and the 150-600mm f/5-6.3 ED IS.
OM System not only presented the new OM-1 Mark II today, the company also presented two new lenses – although we have to be a little careful with the term “new” here.
OM System 9-18mm f/4-5.6 ED II
The OM System 9-18mm f/4-5.6 ED II inherits the old Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 9-18mm f/4-5.6 ED. There doesn’t seem to be any notable innovations here; the weight remains at around 150 grams, 12 elements in 8 groups, a close focusing distance of 25 cm and a 52 mm filter thread. The only things that are new are the OM System lettering, the changed texture of the zoom ring and the fact that the LH-55D lens hood is now included in the scope of delivery. The price of the lens is 700 euros.
OM System 150-600mm f/5-6.3 ED IS
The OM System 150-600mm f/5-6.3 ED IS seems much newer at first glance, at least we have not seen such a lens from OM System itself. But if you look into the area of full-frame lenses, you will discover the Sigma 150-600 mm F5-6.3 DG DN OS Sports.

Health Risks of Apple Vision Pro: Strobing Lights and Potential Issues
Virtual reality headsets have become increasingly popular in recent years, offering users an immersive and interactive experience. One such headset is the Apple Vision Pro, which boasts cutting-edge technology and promises to revolutionize the way we perceive virtual reality. However, there are potential health risks associated with this device that users need to be aware of.
The Apple Vision Pro utilizes a common technology known as Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), which is crucial to the functioning of the headset. PWM is used to regulate the brightness and color mix of the eye displays in the device. While this technology has been used in OLED iPhones since the iPhone X, its impact is more pronounced in the Apple Vision Pro due to the nature of the device.
One of the primary health concerns associated with the Apple Vision Pro is motion sickness. To mitigate this issue, Apple has incorporated various technologies into the headset. However, there is another, rarer, and more severe health issue that users should be aware of – strobing lights.

The Everlasting Impact of Online Presence
In the digital age, the internet serves as an eternal archive of information, showcasing the permanence of online actions. This reality remains relevant even in 2024, as demonstrated by a recent incident involving a Microsoft employee inadvertently hinting at a potential shift in Xbox’s gaming strategy.
Recently, Cary Chen, Microsoft’s director of game content in Asia, made adjustments to his LinkedIn profile following a role transition. However, his updated job description hinted at a potential expansion beyond Xbox exclusivity, mentioning a wide array of gaming studios and platforms, including PC, Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, and Mobile.
Although the specific platform references have since been removed, screenshots of the original statement have circulated online, sparking speculation and discussion within the gaming community.
A Glimpse into Xbox’s Future
Amidst these developments, Phil Spencer, head of Xbox, has teased an upcoming business update that is expected to shed light on the company’s multi-platform strategy.

Super Bowl, what the 60 seconds of the Microsoft commercial tell us about the future
Microsoft has just published the commercial that it will broadcast during the next one Super Bowl, the most anticipated sporting event of the year in America. It’s a thought-provoking 60 seconds.
Not only because for the first time the Redmond company is not focusing on a physical product, such as a computer or an Xbox console for video games, but on a service: generative artificial intelligence.
But above all because, in this deliberately emotional minutethe stories of redemption of the protagonists of advertising are not marked by effort and human sweat but by the use of what can be defined as a magical “shortcut”: CopilotMocrosoft’s AI that can write and produce images like a human would.
In the clip there are alternating boys who seem destined for failure:
“They say I will never open my own business“
“They say I’ll never graduate”
“They say I will never make my own film”
“They say I’m too old to learn anything”
These are all statements that, in theory, can be completely overturned thanks to the use of generative AI,
