ICQ Won’t be Seeking You Anymore Come June 26, 2024

Remember those iconic bouncing notification bubbles and the frantic race to type “uh-oh” before someone else did? For many of us, ICQ was our gateway into the world of instant messaging. Now, after nearly 28 years of service, ICQ is officially shutting down on June 26, 2024.

ICQ, short for “I Seek You,” rose to prominence in the late 90s and early 2000s. Back then, it was a revelation. Gone were the days of dial-up connections and clunky chat rooms. ICQ offered a more personal and convenient way to connect with friends and family online.

The user interface was simple and intuitive. Those expressive buddy icons, the ability to send “away messages,” and the ever-so-satisfying sound of a message popping up – ICQ delivered a unique and engaging user experience.

Beyond basic chat functionalities, ICQ offered features like file transfers, chat rooms, and even rudimentary online games. It was a one-stop shop for online communication and entertainment, fostering a vibrant online community.

However, the tech world is a fast-paced one. New and more feature-rich platforms like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger emerged, offering a wider range of functionalities and seamless integration with social media. ICQ, while still holding a nostalgic charm for many, struggled to keep pace.

The official announcement from ICQ is brief, simply stating the shutdown date and directing users towards their other chat solutions, VK Messenger and VK Workplace. While this marks the end of an era for ICQ, it serves as a reminder of the ever-changing nature of technology.

For many, ICQ will remain more than just a piece of software. It was a platform that fostered friendships, facilitated communication across borders, and introduced a generation to the wonders of online interaction. While ICQ may be saying goodbye, the memories and connections forged through its platform will undoubtedly live on.

Making Digital Safe for Kids – The Big Challenge of Marrying Features and Safety

There’s no denying that our world is becoming increasingly digital. We have graduated from writing letters and licking envelopes to writing short messages and video calls. What’s more, we have TV shows that we can watch on demand rather than wait for a scheduled time of day. But, we’ve never thought of how our children will redefine what it means to be digital natives.

Once upon a time, it was cool to be that generation who grew up with iPads, iPhones, laptops and more. However, now, after years of academic fear-mongering and negativity, we find ourselves at a crossroads of understanding how these gadgets can be more than just causes for concern, but also tools for learning and channelling the creative curiosity that is so innate in children. We are now looking for ways to make sure our children are ahead of the curve with an inherent curiosity and understanding of technology and gadgets.

However, with all the options available from iPads to Samsung tablets, parents are either at a loss on how to cater for children with gadgets or they are simply overwhelmed by the choices. Then, you have emerging companies like myFirst that are looking at creating gadgets specifically for children with inherent features and guard rails so parents. It’s an emerging niche in tech that we love to call kiddie tech.

Feature-rich Gadgets that are Inherently Safe for Kids

Kiddie tech isn’t as childish as the moniker may allude to. Instead, companies like myFirst are looking to create child-safe devices that address both the child’s needs and parental concerns. However, they are not in the business of dumbing down tech for kids either. Instead, the products being developed for children are very much up-to-date devices with all the bells and whistles we’d expect to see in a regular tablet or smartwatch.

myFirst new product collection

Take, for instance, the myFirst Camera lineup. This lineup of cameras allows kids to explore and express themselves through the camera lens. What’s more, it’s not a make-believe camera – no – it’s a fully functional digital camera that children can use with an SD card to capture what they see. Yes, it’s a digital camera, something we adults have left in the past. However, with devices like the myFirst Camera, parents are allowed a small window into their children’s point of view as they capture what is most important to them. Paired with items like the myFirst Frame Live, these perspectives can be shared with loved ones beyond just the nuclear family.

“Kids also just want to have fun. For our wearable smartphones (WatchPhones), it would have been too easy to include games to keep the kids entertained, but we don’t have games in our watches because we want kids to be able to focus on the fun element of being social with communication, not glued to a screen on games all day.”

G-Jay Yong, Founder of MyFirst


These fully functional devices not only allow us to interact more meaningfully with kids, it also allow the children to become familiar with technology in a more guided manner. Things are sandboxed to an experience that is very specific and enriching for the children. When was the last time you went to the beach or a family dinner and set your child off on a photo journey? Did you learn anything from their unique perspective?

Addressing Parental Concerns Both Digitally and In Real Life

It’s not just about perspective when it comes to gadgets, parents are concerned. We are constantly bombarded by the media about kidnappings, dangerous online interactions and more. These situations not only strike fear in parents but also create a sense of dread when devices are passed to our kids. But, what if there was a way to alleviate your fears with a device?

Leya Myfirst R2 1

Devices like the myFirst Fone R2 have been built to alleviate these fears. The 4G-enabled watch allows you to know where your child is even without a smartphone. It also gives them the ability to contact you if anything were to get a little awry. Yes – it is a smartwatch with a camera on it but it does come with guard rails. These guard rails allow the experience to be unique for each child but also safe.

Speaking of, when it comes to data privacy, parents can rest at ease with companies like myFirst. They have a robust system to ensure that data is stored privately and securely. MyFirst clarified, “When a family onboards to myFirst, the KYC is done on the parent. The parent then creates a kids sub-account for each kid. This way, myFirst only has personally identifiable information of the parents, and no personally identifiable information of the kids whatsoever.”  Of course, if it’s our data on the internet, we want it to be safe too. We’ve been assured that myFirst also takes every precaution when it comes to that.

Striking A Balance of Safety and Fun

There is no denying that children want to be engaged in an entertaining way. More often than not, digital experiences trump the experiences we can provide them, especially with the limited time and space we may have. So, it’s not just about making things safe and secure, it’s about striking that balance between safe and fun.

In the words of G-Jay Yong, Founder of myFirst, “myFirst is built from the ground up for kids so we build in the pros, and build out the downsides, so it’s safe and suitable for kids and the family.” He emphasizes that “[myFirst devices] serve as the kids’ first tech devices so they can benefit from all the good that technology can bring to our lives like communication and being sociable, without all the bad stuff usually associated with technology.”

This sentiment on utilizing technology for the benefit of Children is growing in today’s society. Parents are looking to stimulate their children without creating gadget addicts. This comes with a heavy responsibility of keeping an eye on interactions, apps and even websites that your children could interact with. However, devices built for children have created a safe sandbox where parents can rest at ease as their children grow, explore devices and express their curiosity.

Curtains Close on Spotify Car Thing: From Quirky Assistant to Obsolete Hardware

Spotify’s foray into car integration hardware has come to an abrupt end. The Car Thing, a voice-controlled device designed to enhance your in-car listening experience, will cease operation entirely by December 9th, 2024.

Launched in early 2022, the Car Thing received mixed reviews. While some users appreciated its physical buttons and voice controls for Spotify playback, others found its design bulky and its functionality limited compared to existing smartphone integration options.

The official announcement from Spotify cites a shift in gears, focusing on “new, innovative ways to enhance your drives in the future.” This doesn’t offer much solace to users who invested in the Car Thing, which will essentially become a useless brick after December.

Adding insult to injury, Spotify advises users to factory reset their Car Thing devices and dispose of them responsibly. No refunds are being offered.

This decision has sparked frustration among Car Thing owners, who feel left in the lurch with a now-obsolete device. Social media is abuzz with complaints about the lack of transparency and the sudden end-of-life announcement.

While the Spotify Car Thing’s journey has been short-lived, it serves as a reminder of the ever-evolving landscape of in-car technology. With major car manufacturers integrating advanced infotainment systems and seamless smartphone connectivity, standalone hardware solutions may struggle to find a niche in the future.

For those who crave a larger screen and the versatility of a mini PC, the AYANEO Retro Mini PC AM01S is the perfect choice. This compact PC delivers desktop-grade performance while retaining a retro-inspired design.

While the AYANEO Remake series celebrates the past, it doesn’t compromise on performance. All devices are equipped with powerful processors that can effortlessly handle classic and even some modern games.

The AYANEO Remake series doesn’t just cater to retro enthusiasts. All devices come pre-installed with the latest Windows operating system, allowing you to enjoy modern games and applications alongside your favourite classics.

AYANEO has also teased upcoming additions to the Remake lineup, including the AYANEO FLIP DS, a dual-screen handheld reminiscent of the Nintendo DS, and the FLIP KB, a full keyboard-equipped handheld for those who prefer a more traditional console-like experience.

Pricing & Availability

Specific pricing details for the AYANEO Remake series haven’t been announced yet. However, AYANEO devices are known for their premium quality and tend to fall in the high-end price range. The available colour options and official release date will likely be revealed closer to retail availability.

OPPO Reno’s Signature Camera Powered Up

The OPPO Reno 12 series doesn’t disappoint in the camera department. Both phones are equipped with a triple-lens rear camera system housed in a sleek rectangular module. The primary sensor on the Reno 12 is a 50-megapixel Sony LYT600 sensor, capable of capturing crisp and detailed photos in various lighting conditions. It’s accompanied by a 50-megapixel telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom for capturing distant subjects and an 8-megapixel ultra-wide sensor for capturing expansive landscapes and group shots. The Reno 12 Pro takes things a step further with a Sony IMX890 primary sensor, also boasting 50 megapixels but promising even better low-light performance.

On the front, both phones boast a remarkable 50-megapixel selfie camera, ensuring you can take high-quality selfies and video calls. OPPO has included a variety of software features to enhance your photography experience, including AI scene recognition, night mode, portrait mode, and various filters.

Beautiful on the Outside, Powerful on the Inside

The innovative quad-curved display isn’t the only design highlight of the series. Both phones are crafted from a lightweight and durable die-cast aluminium alloy frame, giving them a premium feel in the hand. The back panel is covered in Corning Gorilla Glass for added protection against scratches and nicks.

VMware Extends Olive Branch to Personal Users with Free Workstation Pro & Fusion Pro Apps

Following a period of uncertainty and user frustration after its acquisition by Broadcom, VMware has announced a surprising move – making its professional-grade desktop hypervisor applications, VMware Fusion Pro and Workstation Pro, available for free for personal use. This decision comes after a period of backlash surrounding the discontinuation of free player versions and a shift towards a subscription model for commercial users.

Previously, VMware offered free “Player” versions of both Fusion and Workstation, catering to individual users who wanted to run virtual machines on their computers. However, these free options were discontinued as part of Broadcom’s integration plans. The news sparked concern and frustration within the tech community, particularly among students, educators, and hobbyists who relied on the free software for learning and personal projects.

Vmware Workstation Fuision Free

VMware’s latest announcement seems to be a course correction, addressing user concerns and offering a free tier for personal users. Both Fusion Pro and Workstation Pro are now available for download with a “Free Personal Use” license. These full-featured applications offer a significant upgrade compared to the discontinued player versions, providing users with advanced functionalities for managing and running virtual machines.

This move is likely an effort to appease the personal user base that felt left behind by the initial changes. While the free tier doesn’t extend to commercial use cases, it offers a robust solution for individuals seeking a powerful and feature-rich virtualization tool for personal projects or learning purposes. Businesses will still require paid subscriptions to leverage these applications in commercial environments.

While the long-term implications of this decision remain to be seen, it does signal a potential shift in VMware’s approach under Broadcom’s ownership. By offering a free tier for personal users, VMware can potentially retain a strong foothold in the educational and hobbyist communities, fostering brand loyalty and building a pipeline of future professional users.

For individual users, this is a welcome change. The free access to professional-grade virtualization software opens doors for experimentation, learning, and exploring the world of virtual machines. Whether it’s running a specific operating system for testing purposes, creating isolated development environments, or simply experiencing the benefits of virtualization, the free tier of VMware Fusion Pro and Workstation Pro empowers individuals to explore these functionalities without financial barriers.

AMD Another EPYC with a Focus on Power & Efficiency for Everyday Servers

AMD has expanded its EPYC™ CPU portfolio with the introduction of the EPYC 4004 series. This new line of processors is designed to strike a balance between performance and affordability, making it ideal for businesses seeking a powerful yet cost-effective solution for their everyday server needs.

Screenshot 2024 05 24 at 02 14 25 AMD EPYC™ 4004 Processors High performance CPUs designed for easy to use low cost servers

The EPYC 4004 series leverages the powerful “Zen 4” core architecture, offering businesses a cost-competitive option without sacrificing processing muscle. This translates to strong performance for running essential server workloads like file sharing, email services, and web applications. The competitive price point makes the EPYC 4004 series a compelling choice for businesses with budget constraints.

The EPYC 4004 series caters to a variety of server needs by offering a range of core count options, from 4 cores to 16 cores. This allows businesses to select the processing power that best suits their specific workload demands. For instance, a small business with basic file-sharing requirements could opt for a 4-core processor, while a growing company managing a large database might require the additional processing power of a 16-core option. The EPYC 4004 series provides this flexibility, ensuring businesses invest in the optimal processing power for their needs.

AMD EPYC™ 4004 Processors: High-performance CPUs designed for easy-to-use, low-cost servers

Data centres are known for their significant energy consumption. The EPYC 4004 series boasts improved energy efficiency compared to previous generations. This translates to potentially lower electricity costs for businesses, making them a more sustainable server solution. The focus on energy efficiency not only benefits the bottom line but also aligns with growing environmental concerns.

The EPYC 4004 series is designed for easy integration into existing server infrastructure. These processors are compatible with industry-standard server operating systems and software, minimizing setup complexities for businesses and IT teams. This user-friendly approach allows businesses to get their servers up and running quickly and efficiently.

Pricing & Availability

Pricing of the new AMD EPYC 4004 series processors will depend on the number of cores and overall performance. There are a total of 8 SKUs under this series alone. Pricing is as listed below.
