Counting down to Beijing 2022: Lighting up hope for a shared future

Leave a comment

BEIJING, Oct. 29, 2021 — A news report by China.org.cn on 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics:

The Shougang Park was once a steel plant, but now it is one of the venues for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. Just over there, young freestyle skier Gu Ailing will be competing in the big air event in her first Winter Olympics.

 

"Something I’m dreaming about right now is to be able to compete in each (Alpine skiing) event (at the Beijing Winter Olympics) in China," said America’s two-time Olympic gold medalist Mikaela Shiffrin. After suffering from the death of her father and serious injuries in 2020, Shiffrin is finding her way back, hoping to rise to the challenge and surpass herself at the 2022 Beijing Olympics. Polish ski jumper Kamil Stoch, also an Olympic champion at the Sochi and Pyeongchang Winter Games, said he can’t wait for Beijing 2022, which will be his fifth Games. To this end, the 34-year-old has been training and competing strictly as planned. The British Olympic Association also recently announced their first batch of athletes for the Games. Team GB curler Bruce Mouat said that being able to participate in Beijing 2022 is the best evidence of all the hard work during the past four years.

Just like these athletes, many more are expecting the Beijing Winter Olympics. According to reports, the Australian Olympic Committee will take 41 athletes to Beijing, and Paralympics Australia will take nine athletes and two guides. Countries including the United States, Australia, Britain and Japan have all expressed their high expectations for the Games. Enabling the world’s best athletes to compete at the largest arena and carrying forward the Olympic spirit — these have become a global consensus.

With athletes from all over the world participating in the Games, the host city Beijing has been making all-out efforts to ensure everyone’s safety amid the pandemic. Regarding athletes’ needs for pre-contest training, a bio-secure bubble will be established for the Games. This means that all participants and staff members — from athletes and coaches, to drivers and chefs — will form a closed-loop, or to say, a moving and invisible "bubble" in all Olympic venues from Beijing to Zhangjiakou. Before entering the bio-secure bubble, overseas participants will either be fully vaccinated, or undergo a 21-day quarantine upon arrival in China, so as to prevent possible infections. Meanwhile, those inside the bubble can train and compete normally and receive medical tests, but without making contact with the world outside. In this way, the health of participants would receive maximum guarantee, at the same time, the expectations of athletes and spectators for the Games can be fulfilled as much as possible.

The world has long been under the shadow of the pandemic. As winter falls, the world needs dreams and passion to help ignite hope and light up the way forward. In February, let’s meet at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games, "Together for a Shared Future."

In the 5G era, Parallel NAND Flash came into being

Leave a comment

SHENZHEN, China, Oct. 29, 2021 — The Information Age has changed our way of life; people are constantly surrounded by information and data, whether at work or in their daily life. Due to the influence of the Information Age, big data is currently the hottest IT industry keyword. Together with data analysis, data warehousing, data security, and other elements related to the commercial value of big data are gradually becoming the focus of profitability in the electronic information technology industry. The security and stability of data are also becoming important indicators by which to judge an enterprise’s overall strength. As a result, developments in the era of big data have placed stringent requirements on storage products, which are no longer limited to basic features such as capacity and performance. Error correction, compatibility, and data protection capabilities have gradually transformed the core competitiveness of storage products.

As the country with the fastest rate of 5G network construction, China has built more than 993,000 5G base stations, covering all prefecture-level cities and more than 95% of counties and 35% of townships nationwide, with more than 392 million cell phone connections to 5G terminals. Due to the extensive applications of 5G, its high degree of reliability and low latency. this technology will launch the rapid development of IoT, IoV, AR/VR, Ultra HD video and other related fields.

Longsys is keeping close watch on the development of 5G, so as to meet new demands for storage products in a variety of industries. For this reason, FORESEE, the storage brand under Longsys, has developed an industrial-grade storage product, Parallel NAND Flash. FORESEE’s testing team has conducted comprehensive chip-level testing for nearly 50 major and 80 minor categories, and has passed the stringent reliability verification requirements of JEDEC standards, allowing for an operational temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, which is sufficient to withstand the harsh environment of industrial environments. FORESEE Parallel NAND Flash has a flash memory lifetime of up to 100,000 program-erase cycles, a data retention period of up to 10 years, and an actual DPPM of less than 100. In addition to ensuring the durability and reliability of the product, the FORESEE R&D team has invested a lot of energy into improving the product’s stability. The product uses a 16nm manufacturing process, with 4 bit ECC verification, and a higher density, which is applicable to big data storage. The Unique ID (UID) and One Time Programable (OTP) functions enable the product to provide customers with more areas for storing security information, which greatly protects user data security. In addition, UID and OTP can effectively prevent the risk of information leakage.

The product also uses a 1.8V power supply, which reduces power consumption by about 40% compared to mainstream products using a 3.3V power supply, while remaining compatible with products on the market that use a 3.3V power supply.

The exceptional stability and compact size of FORESEE Parallel NAND Flash is a perfect fit for the need for superior reliability and low power consumption of electronic products in the 5G Era, and is essential for data storage applications in mobile devices, industrial markets, automotive systems, IoT, AI and other fields.

HUAWEI MateBook 14s Launches in Malaysia from MYR 4,999 – HUAWEI Says It Is the New Way to Work

Leave a comment

We live in a weird time. We live in a time where buying a laptop from a smartphone manufacturer is normal. If you think about it, it was not so long ago too that HUAWEI decided that they want a slice of the mobile computing market.

Meet the HUAWEI MateBook series, premium notebook PCs made with the HUAWEI ecosystem in mind. They were designed to be the perfect companion for HUAWEI’s range of smartphone and tablet products. They were made to be the best type of laptop to work with if you own a HUAWEI device. They were the only products that did not get the axe from American companies in the dram that was the United States trade ban debacle.

Fast forward to 2021, nothing much has changed. There are some changes in the world around HUAWEI though. There is a brand-new Intel processor, an 11th generation wonder of a mobile chip. It also seems like there is going to be a new Microsoft Windows version just around the corner, and the new hardware is primed to take up the new Operating System (OS). HUAWEI needed to get modern to be in the world of workplace laptops. They did with the new HUAWEI MateBook 14s.

The HUAWEI MateBook 14s follows the philosophy of HUAWEI’s premium line-up of laptops. It is an ultra-thin, and ultra-light notebook PC for the working professionals. It is an ultrabook for the road warrior, or the person who has been working from home for the past two years and is continuing to work from home now.

The new MateBook 14s is powered by Intel’s latest 11th Generation Core processor. You get to spec it up with up to the Core i7-11370H processor. The latest processors are considered to be Intel’s most efficient one yet. 

Intel did not certify the HUAWEI MateBook 14s as an Intel EVO laptop, but it has everything that you could want from an Intel EVO platform, if you are looking for that sort of thing. It has Intel’s Iris Xe Graphics to handle a high-resolution display and any of its requirements. It also has up to 16GB of RAM, ample amount for a work laptop. You even get up to 1TB in SSD storage, if you wish for it. With WiFi 6 in tow, you really wonder with the HUAWEI MateBook 14s does not come packing Intel EVO’s sticker.

You get all sorts of I/O with this Matebook 14s as well to make it the perfect work mate. There are two USB type-C ports that supports charging and Thunderbolt 4 capabilities (only Core i7 version, 2nd USB Type-C port). You also get a full HDMI port alongside a USB 3.2 Gen1 type-A port on the HUAWEI MateBook 14s. It is as versatile as it looks. It even has a fingerprint sensor with Windows Hello for protection. Thankfully as well, the webcam has been shifted up to the top of the display instead of being hidden in one of the keycaps.

The 14-inch display is a stunning one too at 90Hz. It is a 2.5K display instead of a Full HD unit though. That also means that you get vibrant and beautiful looking images on the laptop. You can easily enjoy movies and YouTube videos in high-resolution goodness on this thing. Its 60Wh battery is also large enough that it should carry your laptop the entire day. If that is not enough the HUAWEI MateBook 14s comes with 90W charging capabilities and a charger to match for a quick plug and dash.

Price and Availability

The HUAWEI MateBook 14s is available for pre-order from the 28th of October 2021 onward. Before the 6th of November 2021, you can pre-order your unit from HUAWEI Store Online, HUAWEI’s official stores on Shopee, and Lazada, or even on HUAWEI’s official app, My HUAWEI App. As per the title, the HUAWEI MateBook 14s starts at MYR 4,999.

"Our latest strategy is to unite "Technology, Health and People", as we believe people’s focus on health will continue to be a major trend, and superior product technology will help us build stronger barriers from market competition. These factors will be the focus of our future R&D and incubation of products, as we continue to increase our consumer base by leveraging our omni-channel and vertical content dissemination marketing. The healthcare and beauty industry have been an increasingly popular trend within the younger generation in recent years, hence, we are specifically targeting the opportunities in this blue ocean market. Moving forward, we will continue to expand our partnerships with other leading high-tech brands to accelerate our penetration into the new big healthcare and beauty consumption sector and help overseas brands expand their presence in China."

MOOKLOOK’s product lines are innovated and created by the Science and Technology Research Institute of Skin Care, which is ranked top 3 in Japan for its advanced anti-aging beauty technology.

BlizzCon Not Happening – But There’s a Silver Lining

Leave a comment

Blizzard’s BlizzCon is arguably one of the biggest gaming events of the year. However, in light of the pandemic, the gaming conference has evolved into BlizzConline for its past iteration into an online BlizzConline. In fact, earlier this year, the game developer announced a new approach for BlizzCon which would span both online and offline, in-person experiences. However, it looks like that may not be happening after all.

The company has taken online to announce to the community that the upcoming BlizzCon planned for February 2022 will not be happening. In their statement, the company states that, “we would also like to take the time to reimagine what a BlizzCon event of the future could look like”. That said, it was the same words used earlier this year in their announcement for the 2022 BlizzCon. The event is one of the company’s crowning achievements that have allowed fans of game franchises like Warcraft, Diablo and Starcraft to rally and feel part of the Blizzard experience. The absence of the convention, in any form, could prove to be more a quandry for Blizzard.

However, Blizzard isn’t leaving fans without updates and announcements. In their update, the company states, “One more thing we wanted to make clear: even though we aren’t holding BlizzConline in February, we’ll still be making announcements and updates for our games. We’re proud of our teams and the progress they’ve made across our games. We have a lot of exciting upcoming news and releases to share with you.”. Fans will have lots to look forward to come February 2022 by the sounds of it.

The cancellation of Blizzard’s annual BlizzCon seems to be one of the latest casualties in their unfolding legal saga. Blizzard has recently come under fire for a myriad of reasons including employer misconduct and sexual harassment. BlizzCon was ground zero for some of the most egregious sexual harassment allegations thanks to the “Cosby Suite”. Since then the allegations and issues that have arisen have become a hot topic in the gaming industry which is currently undergoing a renaissance.
