According to rumors, Apple is reorganizing its AirPods lineup, with the current entry-level Apple earphones being replaced by fourth-generation models. According to reports, the new models will be the largest AirPods release to date and will include a number of enhancements, including a redesigned charging case. Active noise cancellation (ANC), which was previously exclusive to AirPods Pro models, is also apparently coming to one of the two fourth-generation AirPods models. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman confirmed in his most recent Power On newsletter that Apple was preparing two new entry-level AirPods, the fourth generation, to replace the current models, which are the second and third generations. The new models will have a new design, better fit, and USB Type-C charging cases. They are codenamed B768(E) and B768(M), where the E is supposed to stand for "entry" and the M for "mid-tier." Gurman also mentioned that the Find My Speakers feature and ANC will be included in the case of the mid-tier AirPods to assist users in finding their misplaced earphones. Gurman added that foreign vendors are about to begin producing the new line of truly wireless stereo (TWS) earphones, and that Apple suppliers were preparing for the "biggest AirPods launch to date." He stated in the newsletter that "the company is planning to produce 20 million to 25 million units of the earbuds, an increase over prior new models." According to reports, GoerTek and Luxshare will start production in May, and an official release is scheduled for September or October. As previously reported, Apple is expected to release a new AirPods Pro model in 2025 as a follow-up to the fourth-generation AirPods. It is anticipated that the third generation AirPods Pro will feature an upgraded H3 chip, a new earbud design, and enhanced Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). With the release of iOS 18, the Cupertino, California-based company also plans to update its lineup of wireless earphones.

Long-term evaluation of the Apple Watch Ultra 2: large, striking, and black
I don't get along with adventure. Heights give me the creeps, and I don't dive or swim, for that matter. The Apple Watch Ultra 2 is a smartwatch made for the outdoors, yet I'm not the ideal customer. That is what I believed, at least, until I managed to obtain one—the stylish new Black Titanium model, no less. Additionally, it has joined me on two separate mountain hikes in the short time I've owned it. It turns out that its feature set is really useful to have on hand and on your wrist, whether or not you enjoy being outside. Given how well the two gadgets function together, the Apple Watch is an obvious choice for iPhone users who are also interested in smartwatches. If you're an iPhone user looking to get a smartwatch, I think the smart features like notifications mirroring, replying to messages, and the app ecosystem make it an all-around package that's hard to ignore. The Apple Watch is well known for its health and safety features (like ECG and crash detection). All of that sweetness is included in the Watch Ultra 2, but it goes a step further with features like a large, bright display, a customizable Action button, a loud emergency siren, a sturdy design, a respectable battery life, and more.Watch Ultra 2 vs. Watch Series 10 Now Although I haven't used the new Apple Watch Series 10, a closer examination of its features and specifications shows that it is very similar to its ostensibly more capable Ultra 2 sister, particularly the 46mm model. Similar health and fitness capabilities, including as cycle tracking, sleep monitoring, crash warning, irregular heart rate detection, etc., are available on the Ultra 2 and the Series 10. But in addition to being lighter, the Series 10 is also substantially less expensive and available in a variety of colors, sizes, and finishes (titanium and aluminum), as well as the GPS and cellular choices. Even the 46mm model has a bigger screen than the

Putin directs Russia's leading bank and government to work with China on AI.
Vladimir Putin promised to "ensure further co-operation with the People's Republic of China in technological research and development in the field of artificial intelligence" to the government and Sberbank, which is leading Russia's AI initiatives. According to the UK-based Tortoise Media's Global AI Index, Russia is now ranked 31st out of 83 countries in terms of AI deployment, innovation, and investment. This places it far behind China, the United States, and other BRICS nations like Brazil and India.The Russian government and Sberbank, the nation's largest bank, have been instructed by President Vladimir Putin to expand their artificial intelligence collaboration with China. Three weeks after Putin declared that Russia would collaborate with BRICS partners and other nations to create artificial intelligence, his directives were posted on the Kremlin's website on Wednesday. To "ensure further co-operation with the People's Republic of China in technological research and development in the field of artificial intelligence," he advised the government and Sberbank, which is leading Russia's AI efforts.The world's leading manufacturers of microchips have stopped exporting to Russia as a result of Western sanctions meant to limit Moscow's access to the technologies it needs to continue its war against Ukraine, significantly limiting its aspirations in the field of artificial intelligence. In 2023, German Gref, the CEO of Sberbank, admitted that the most difficult hardware for Russia to replace was graphics processing units (GPUs), which are the microchips that support AI development.
Under the new law, Malaysia authorizes WeChat and TikTok to function.
Under the new law, Malaysia licenses WeChat and TikTok to operate. Social media sites and messaging services with more than 8 million members in Malaysia are required by law to obtain a license or risk legal action, which was created to address the growing problem of cybercrime.KUALA LUMPUR: According to Malaysia's communications regulator, while several other platforms had not registered, Tencent's WeChat and ByteDance's TikTok were granted licenses to operate in the nation under a new social media law.In an effort to combat the growing problem of cybercrime, the law mandates that messaging services and social media platforms with over 8 million users in Malaysia obtain a license or risk legal action. It became operative on January 1. The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission stated in a statement on Wednesday that Meta Platforms, the company that owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, had started the licensing procedure, while messaging app Telegram was nearing the end of the licensing process.Because the platform claimed that its local user base fell short of the 8 million criterion, the regulator stated that X had not filed an application. The regulator stated that it was examining whether X's claim was legitimate. After voicing concerns regarding YouTube's video sharing capabilities and its classification under the licensing rules, Alphabet's Google, the company that runs the video site YouTube, also declined to apply for a license, the regulator said. It stated that YouTube must comply but did not specify the issues or how they relate to the legislation. "Platform providers found to be in violation of licensing requirements may be subject to investigation and regulatory actions," the agency stated. Early in 2024, Malaysia observed a significant rise in hazardous social media content and encouraged

Radio Blackouts in Southern Africa Are Caused by an X-Class Solar Flare From Sunspot 3912
Radio Outages Seen Throughout Southern Africa The powerful flare affected high-frequency radio communications by ionizing Earth's upper atmosphere. The ionization caused the atmospheric density to rise, which weakened long-distance communication by absorbing radio signals, according to NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center. Due of the direct sunshine, there were noticeable interruptions across Southern Africa.Expert View on Solar Impact Dr. Tamitha Skov, a space weather physicist, said on social networking site X that the CME is probably only going to have a little impact on Earth. The solar storm will skim Earth to the west, she clarified in a statement. By midday on December 11, the structure may be deflected even further west by fast solar wind streams, causing minor consequences. Knowing About Solar Flares and Their Impacts Strong explosions of electromagnetic radiation coming from the Sun are known as solar flares. They are categorized according to their strength into five groups: A, B, C, M, and X. The strongest flares, known as X-class flares, have the potential to seriously interfere with communication and satellite operations. This latest eruption highlights a period of activity in the present solar cycle, increasing the probability of similar occurrences in the future.

Odyssey Developing Hollywood-Level AI Text to Video Model to Take on Gen-3 Alpha and Sora
The artificial intelligence (AI) startup Odyssey, which was established last year, unveiled information on its inaugural AI product on Monday. The company disclosed that, similar to OpenAI's Sora tool, which the company has not yet released, it is developing an AI video model that can produce Hollywood-caliber visual effects. According to Odyssey's co-founder, the AI model will enable users to modify and manage the output at a fine level. The company is collaborating with many large language models (LLMs) to produce distinct layers of the output video that can be independently controlled.The Operation of Odyssey's AI Visual Model Odyssey CEO and Co-Founder Oliver Cameron announced in a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter) that the AI startup had raised $9 million (approximately Rs. 75.1 crores) in funding during its seed round, which was headed by Google Ventures. Odyssey was also developing a tool that would provide users with the ability to customize and edit high-quality video. In addition, Cameron provided information regarding Odyssey's AI technology, stating that it was intended to produce "Hollywood-grade" footage. Additionally, the CEO revealed that the business was teaching customers how to take "full control of the core layers of visual storytelling" using four generative models.Cameron drew attention to the issue with current AI text-to-video models, namely the deficiency of controls or editing choices for the output. You can't really control your setting or the behavior of your characters, nor can you refine the finer points of your shot till it's perfect as a storyteller. We need more potent models," he continued. The business is employing several AI models to create a single layer of the composite video in order to fix the issue. Cameron says that each of the four models will produce geometry, materials, lighting, and motion on its own. The final video will be presented by combining these four layers, which will be generated concurrently based on a single text prompt. According to the company, consumers would be able to customize every layer.

Why the new 13-inch iPad Air M2 is a "pro" in every way
Review of the Apple iPad Air M2 2024: The brand-new iPad Air 13-inch boasts a potent M2 CPU, a large display, and adaptable accessories. Here's why I think it's an almost "Pro" quality device.I opted to purchase an iPad not quite a year into my first full-time position as a tech journalist. My father questioned why I preferred an iPad to a Mac. I was certain that the iPad Air from the first generation was what I needed. I can still picture myself entering a Croma store. I took it everywhere I went as my go-to writing tool and entertainment system for watching movies and playing video games. It is still functional and I own it. Since then, I've tried a variety of Apple and non-Apple accessories and reviewed nearly every iPad. I am an avid user of the iPad and have both strong opinions and criticisms about it.The iPad has undergone substantial change. Apple continues to refer to the new iPad Air 13-inch as the "Air," but in my opinion, it feels more like a "pro" tablet. If you believe this is the right iPad Air, its increased size, large expansive display, potent M2 chip, and compatibility with the new Apple Pencil Pro and Magic Keyboard are all indications that it's about to become a true personal computer. But in my opinion, the iPad Air 13-inch is the most developed model; it does all the functions I'm accustomed to from an iPad, without the bulk that the "iPad Pro" has.
How to make your Android phone connect to a 5G network by force
This method may guarantee 5G connectivity, but it may also shorten your phone's battery life.Nationwide deployments of 5G networks have been made by Airtel and Jio. 5G provides faster upload and download rates as well as reduced latency as compared to 4G. Activities like gaming and live streaming gain from this. In order to save battery life, the majority of smartphones intelligently switch between 4G and 5G. However, this can sometimes degrade network speed, particularly while doing data-intensive tasks.Your device can maintain a 5G connection with a straightforward trick, as long as coverage is available. Here's how to maintain your smartphone on 5G if you use Jio or Airtel 5G:You can force the option to use 5G on your phone by following the instructions listed later in this article, depending on your smartphone. But not every phone or provider lets you force 5G. If your alternatives are different from ours, bear that in mind. For instance, Samsung doesn't make this simple, as you can see below.If you have the option to force 5G, proceed with caution as doing so keeps your device from falling back to 4G even in situations when 5G isn't available. If you are unable to remain on a 5G network, you can still choose the 5G/4G or 4G-only option by following the same procedures. Despite significant advancements, 5G is still not as common as 4G and is still deficient in many places. At the same time, there may be times when a 5G network is so congested with devices (think concerts or athletic events) that switching to 4G will provide faster speeds. Either way, you might want to think about giving up on the network completely.Check out our guidelines below to locate the network settings on your phone; each Android manufacturer has a slightly different technique to control your 5G settings. Control your network mode and select a 5G and LTE option, depending on whether you want to use 4G, 5G, or a combination of the two. Your phone and provider will determine which choice is available. In relation to 4G, assess the strength of the signal on your Android device to identify any network or connectivity issues.It's easy to force Android to stick to one of the two networks, whether you want to force your phone to use 5G solely or to continue on the older LTE network. This is how phones from every big manufacturer should be set up.
