Intel has officially taken the wraps off Thunderbolt 5, the next generation of its renowned Thunderbolt connectivity technology. In a demonstration that showcased a prototype laptop and dock, Intel highlighted the remarkable improvements in speed and bandwidth that Thunderbolt 5 promises to bring to the world of computing.

With content creators, gamers, and professionals demanding ever-increasing bandwidth, Thunderbolt 5 is ready to meet these high demands. Whether it’s high-resolution displays, low-latency visuals, or handling larger video and data files, Thunderbolt 5 is engineered to provide the performance and bandwidth needed for these modern computing needs.

The new standard is poised to deliver an impressive 80 gigabits per second (Gbps) of bi-directional bandwidth, and with its Bandwidth Boost feature, it can provide a whopping 120 Gbps, offering an unparalleled display and data experience. This substantial leap provides up to three times more bandwidth than existing connectivity solutions, ensuring that users enjoy superior display quality and lightning-fast data connections.

Thunderbolt 5 builds upon Thunderbolt 4 and is designed to be fully compatible with previous Thunderbolt versions and USB4 V2 standards. This ensures users can seamlessly integrate Thunderbolt 5 into their existing setups without compatibility concerns.

Intel isn’t the only one behind Thunderbolt 5. Industry leaders like Microsoft and Apple are also collaborators in developing this new technology. This also means that it’s compatible with Windows-based systems as well as Macs. Both Windows and Mac users can also benefit from the lightning-fast speeds and connectivity Thunderbolt 5 offers.

Intel’s Thunderbolt 5 controllers, codenamed Barlow Ridge, are expected to power computers and accessories starting in 2024. However, Thunderbolt 4 will continue to serve users who don’t require the extreme bandwidth that 5 delivers.

Stay tuned for the arrival of Thunderbolt 5 in 2024, and get ready to experience a new era of lightning-fast, high-bandwidth connectivity.

In a world where remote and office work coexist, Atomicwork deploys artificial intelligence (AI) to streamline employee interactions with various daily tools. The platform seamlessly integrates with platforms like Slack and Microsoft Teams. It also utilise conversational intelligence to automate support, service delivery, and operations on a large scale.

Atomicwork’s AI assistant, Atom, uses company processes and shared knowledge to help employees without human intervention. It aims to make things smoother for both employees and companies.

During their stealth phase, the Atomicwork team conducted a survey of leaders from mid-market businesses and large corporations. They found that 80% of the bosses were dissatisfied with their company’s worker experience. This has negatively impacting employee morale and productivity.

According to Atomicwork, this aligns with the 2022 industry studies from Willis Towers Watson (also known as WTW). The WTW study reveals that 92% of employers across sectors expressed intentions to invest in their employee experience over the next 3 years.

Bose Unleashes New QuietComfort Lineup with new Bose Immersive Audio Technology

Leave a comment

Bose has unveiled a trio of new audio products set to redefine the listening experience: the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones, QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds, and QuietComfort Headphones. These devices maintain Bose’s signature sound quality, noise cancellation, and comfort while introducing a significant innovation—Bose Immersive Audio.

Bose Immersive Audio

Bose’s Immersive Audio is the company’s take on directional audio. Unlike its competitors, the technology doesn’t use AI to approximate audio direction – particularly when it comes to headphones. Instead, it generates a wider, more spacious soundstage that allows for layered, multidimensional sound. The best part? It’s platform agnostic – meaning that it’s done on the headphones itself. The onboard IMU and Bose’s proprietary digital signal processing software allows for a live concert-like experience, even with audio sources that don’t natively support spatial audio.

Bose QuietComfort Headphones 19

It comes with two modes: Still and Motion. “Still” mode keeps audio stationery for a consistent experience, while “Motion” mode, adapts sound according to your position and movements.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones

These headphones replace the Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 as Bose’s top-tier over-ear headphones. They address a common concern by folding it down for easy storage. The headphones introduce Bose’s Immersive Audio technology, along with CustomTune audio calibration. They provide clear calls, accurate voice assistant responses, and up to 24 hours of battery life.

  • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones 06
  • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones 05
  • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones 04
  • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones 03
  • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones 08
  • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones 07

The new QuietComfort Ultra headphones feature a completely re-engineered system with proprietary signal processing, advanced microphones and a robust chipset. These technologies enable improved noise cancellation and CustomTune while supporting Bose’s Aware mode with ActiveSense and improved voice pickup.

Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds

Building on the success of the QC Earbuds II, the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds offer noise cancellation, CustomTune calibration, responsive touch controls, and now Immersive Audio. Improved call quality is achieved through adaptive filters and dynamic microphone mixing. It also comes with an IPX4 water and dust resistance rating. They provide up to six hours of battery life, with an optional case for wireless charging.

  • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 05
  • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 06
  • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 04
  • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 03
  • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 02
  • Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds 01

Bose QuietComfort Headphones

Replacing the QuietComfort 45 Headphones, these offer high-fidelity audio and noise cancellation. Users can customize noise cancellation levels and modes. They provide up to 24 hours of battery life, support multipoint Bluetooth 5.1, and include a Spotify Tap button for convenience.

Bose QuietComfort Headphones 01

Compatibility and Connectivity

All three products support Snapdragon Sound Technology Suite, including Qualcomm’s aptX Adaptive codec for audio streaming. They are Bluetooth 5.3 compatible and feature Google Fast Pair for Android devices. They are also compatible with Bose SimpleSync technology, allowing personalized pairing with select soundbars and speakers.

Pricing & Availability

Pre-orders for these products are now open.

The QuietComfort Ultra Headphones are priced at GBP£449 (MYR2,610.17) while the Earbuds will cost GBP£299 (MYR1,738.21). Both will be available starting in early October in Black and White Smoke.

HMD Global Charts a New Path with Independent Smartphone Brand

Leave a comment

HMD Global, the Finnish company renowned for resurrecting the Nokia brand, is embarking on a transformative journey. It intends to introduce smartphones under its very own HMD brand, diversifying its portfolio while continuing to develop Nokia phones.

The announcement comes directly from Jean-Francois Baril, Co-founder, Chairman, and CEO of HMD Global. According to his LinkedIn post, both HMD and Nokia phones will coexist, ensuring that consumers can still expect new Nokia devices. However, this bold move shows that HMD Global is ready to establish itself as an independent player in the telecommunications market.

HMD logo

The decision to venture into smartphones under its own brand might be attributed to several factors. Firstly, it’s indicative of the changing dynamics in the smartphone industry, where competition is fierce, and market trends are ever-evolving. By introducing its own brand, HMD Global aims to carve out a distinct identity and cater to the evolving needs of consumers.

Moreover, this strategic shift could be related to the forthcoming expiration of HMD’s licensing agreement with Nokia, which was initially inked in 2016. The agreement allowed HMD Global to reintroduce Nokia-branded devices to the market. With the expiration date approaching in 2026, HMD Global may be preparing for a future beyond Nokia-branded devices.

The move to establish its own brand is not a sudden decision. HMD Global has been diligently building its brand for years with consistent filings with the EUIPO office. However, recent global challenges, including those posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, seem to have accelerated its quest to establish a unique identity in the industry.

Jean-Francois Baril emphasized the company’s commitment to sustainability and affordability, reflecting the company’s vision to offer high-quality yet affordable mobile devices to consumers worldwide. HMD Global takes pride in its position as one of the fastest-growing 5G smartphone manufacturers, showcasing its resilience in adapting to changing market dynamics.

With an extensive global distribution network, operational capabilities, and a robust in-house software development team, HMD Global appears well-prepared to make a significant impact in the consumer smartphone market. The company’s growth trajectory and sustainability efforts are key indicators of its readiness for this transformation.

The news of HMD Global’s independent smartphone brand has sparked various discussions among internet commentators. Speculation has arisen regarding the future of the Nokia brand, particularly amid rumours of its potential licensing to other companies, including Huawei. However, these discussions remain speculative.

Bye Bye iPhone 13 mini – Officially Discontinued by Apple

Leave a comment

In the wake of Apple’s grand unveiling of the iPhone 15 family, a familiar but bittersweet ritual has taken place – the discontinuation of older iPhone models to make way for the new. While this is an expected part of the annual iPhone event, there was one unexpected twist: the demise of the beloved iPhone 13 mini, marking the end of an era for compact smartphones.

The iPhone 13 mini joins the ranks of discontinued models, alongside the iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max, and the aging iPhone 12. However, the absence of a compact iPhone in Apple’s current lineup is a poignant shift. The 5.4-inch iPhone category, once represented by the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini, has now vanished.

The decision is a testament to market dynamics, as these compact models struggled to find widespread appeal compared to their larger counterparts. With the iPhone 13 mini’s departure, users favouring more petite smartphones will face a dwindling selection.

While Apple’s official sales channels may cease offering the iPhone 13 mini, it’s possible that some retailers may continue to carry limited stock. Additionally, online marketplaces like eBay might provide a lifeline for those determined to secure one of the last 5.4-inch iPhones.

This poses a poignant change in Apple’s mobile strategy. However, on the other side of the fence, we’ve seen Android phones like the ASUS Zenfone lineup do particularly well despite its compact size. Do you believe there is still a place for compact smartphones in today’s world dominated by larger screens? Share your thoughts on this farewell to the iPhone 13 mini and the compact phone era.

Unity Offices Close Amidst ‘Credible Threats’ After Pricing Change

Leave a comment

Unity Technologies has temporarily closed two of its offices in response to what it describes as “credible threats” to employee safety. This decision follows the recent announcement of a highly contentious fee structure for the Unity Engine, a move that has sparked outrage within the game development community.

Reports about the office closures began circulating on social media, with Unity employees sharing concerns about “safety threats” directed at the company’s San Francisco and Austin, Texas, offices. Unity Product Manager Utsav Jamwal expressed his shock, noting, “Surprising how far people are willing to go in today’s age.”

Unity swiftly responded by closing the at-risk offices and collaborating closely with law enforcement to investigate the threats. A spokesperson for Unity stated, “We have taken immediate and proactive measures to ensure the safety of our employees, which is our top priority. We are closing our offices today and tomorrow that could be potential targets for this threat.”

Bloomberg reported that these closures resulted in the cancellation of a scheduled employee town hall meeting led by Unity’s CEO, John Riccitiello.

The cause of these threats appears to be Unity’s recent controversial pricing changes. The company announced a new fee structure that will take effect on January 1, 2024. Under this model, developers will be charged fees, sometimes as high as $0.20 per install, after certain revenue and install thresholds are reached. This change has incited widespread anger within the gaming industry, as Unity had long prided itself on being a royalty-free game engine option.

Many developers, including Mega Crit Games, the creators of “Slay the Spire,” have expressed their frustration, with some pledging to migrate their projects to alternative engines unless Unity reverses its decision and establishes safeguards in its terms of service.

Garry Newman, the developer behind “Garry’s Mod” and Unity-based “Rust,” also declared that “Rust 2 definitely won’t be a Unity game” due to the erosion of trust caused by the recent pricing changes.

These developments underscore the seismic impact that Unity’s decision has had on the industry, sparking not only outrage but also genuine concerns for the safety of its employees. Unity, a publicly traded company since 2020, has faced significant challenges in recent years including stock price fluctuations and layoffs.
