To understand Tremont, it’s useful to know that the 10nm Lakefield will use a hybrid CPU architecture. It will house 4 Tremont cores with a single scalable Sunny Cove core and the Foveros 3D packaging technology. The technique could significantly alter the desirability of Intel when it comes to devices like tablets, phones, and IoT. The chipmaker is promising significant instructions per cycle (IPC) gains compared to its previous efforts....

Bloomberg’s K Oanh Ha describes how these packages are each marked for being recyclable, even plastic packages. So, how does packaging that enters the recycling ecosystem in North America end up on the floor in India? Recycling Failure Bloomberg Green explains how the trail leads from waste companies in the US who sell their lowest-value recycling. Interestingly, the trach directly comes from consumers, but it isn’t their fault. Consumers put their faith in the recycling system and believe the trach they throw out is being recycled....

While some Microsoft patents shed a little light on the Surface Duo, we really know little about it. Today, a video leaked online shows a new feature that Microsoft is introducing on the Duo. Reported by WalkingCat, the feature called “Peek” allows users to see notifications without unfolding the Duo. As you probably know, the Surface Duo is a twin-screen smartphone. Both screens are located on the inside of a book-like shell form factor....

So, users who were accustomed to clean inboxes now have cluttered messages, most of which are useless. To combat this, LinkedIn is bringing the Focused Inbox feature to global customers. If you are unfamiliar with Focused Inbox, it makes email management easier. This is achieved by two separate folders that separate emails. The main folder is called ‘Primary’ and holds the most common and important contacts. The second folder will be for non-important emails....

This has been evident recently in China, where Microsoft has fallen foul of censorship in the country. China is noted as, well, having a less than stellar human rights record. Freedom of information is patchy in the country at best. Microsoft and indeed other companies have to go through significant censorship before their products can be used in China. It is the same for movies, music, TV, games, and all other forms of media....

Consequently, LinkedIn is likely to remain banned in Russia. The company informed the communications watchdog with a letter. “The company has refused to carry out the requirement to move its storage sites holding the personal data of Russian citizens onto the territory of the Russian Federation, thus confirming its lack of interest in working on the Russian market,” regulator Roskomnadzor said in a statement. We reported last November on Roskomnadzor’s decision to block the network in Russia....

The aim of the patches is to further enhance how Linux performs on systems running Intel hybrid CPUs like Alder Lake, Raptor Lake, and the soon-to-launch Meteor Lake. In the release are IPC classes to help balance workloads. Furthermore, there are also enhancements to the Intel Threat Director. This is important because users should see noticeable performance improvements. Neri explains: “On hybrid processors, the microarchitectural properties of the different types of CPUs cause them to have different instruction-per-cycle (IPC) capabilities....

Alongside an appeal from Epic Games, 35 states, Microsoft, and the Department of Justice (DoJ) have filed disputes about the ruling. All focus on a misinterpretation of the Sherman Act, a law that helps to prevent monopolies. “The district court’s holding creates a paralyzing paradox: Once a firm acquires market power and unilaterally imposes a contract, then it is no longer subject to Section 1. Affirming this paradox would gut the Sherman Act and prevent the Amici States from enforcing antitrust violations by large firms that harm their citizens,” claims the filing by the attorneys general representing the 35 states....

I previously wrote that understanding whether this means the consoles are on course to be monster sellers is hard to say. A lot depends on how many units Sony and Microsoft made available at launch. Microsoft has given the first indication that there may be fewer Xbox Series consoles on the market than PS5 consoles. Speaking with The Verge, Microsoft’s gaming chief Phil Spence admits Xbox Series manufacturing was behind Sony’s PS5 manufacturing....

This shift in focus means Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter, and YouTube will no longer govern GIFCT. Instead, the independent organization will work towards boosting cooperation between governments, industry experts, and tech companies. Under the restructuring, the Global Internet Forum to Counter Terrorism will name a new executive director and new staff. Furthermore, a new committee will be formed and work independently to oversee how the organization functions. This independent committee will be comprised of representatives from the United States, France, United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, and the United Nations Counter-Terrorism Committee Executive Directorate, and the European Commission....

The JP.IK Turn T101 has a terrible name, but it starts at just $299. The Wise N1212S, meanwhile, will be $575. Microsoft says they will have 25% better battery life than alternatives while having 4G. Further, thanks to a partnership with T-Mobile, UK pilot schools will receive free SIM cards and coverage plans. Meanwhile, an agreement with Vodafone will provide subscriptions to customers in other regions. Unfortunately, little is known about the specs of either device at this time....

Erin Dormier, release manager for Azure DevOps Server 2019, revealed in a blog post the platform is now reaching Release to Web (RTW). “Azure DevOps captures over 15 years of investment and learnings in providing tools to support software development teams. In the last month, over 80,000 internal Microsoft users and thousands of our customers, in teams both small and large, used these services to ship products to you.” Microsoft details the modules available in Azure DevOps:...

Microsoft also says it will also bring a new enhanced portal to the service, which makes it easier to manage and select service tiers and performance levels.

The company’s corporate VP of Xbox and Windows gaming, Mike Ybarra, added some exciting Project Scorpio information for developers. Specifically, he took to Twitter to say that dev’s now have an extra 1GB of RAM for games running on the console. This gives the beastliest gaming console ever 9GB of RAM for developers. If you are wondering, this is GDDR5 RAM we are talking about. Ybarra also added that Microsoft will “keep tuning” the device....

If you’re unfamiliar with the tray, it is the area on the Windows taskbar usually found on the bottom left. It is the place where you can see icons and information for internet connection, the time/calendar, language, battery, and other resources. You may remember a new tray area for Windows 11 was initially rolled out in preview earlier this year. That new tray featured a new tooltips setup with additional buttons, the ability to disable icons, an “overflow” menu, and better spacing....

The victory continued Microsoft’s success in the category, after the Surface Pro 3 won the same award during the 2015 MWC event. Redmond’s flagship hardware product beat out significant competition, including the market leading iPad Mini 4 and iPad Pro, while also overcoming the Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 9.7 and Sony Xperia Z4. Those are all fantastic slates in their own right, but the Surface Pro 4 with its high end appeal, near laptop like experience, and full Windows 10 PC software was enough to sway judges....

The update follows a significant update last week, which detailed Flight Simulator’s roadmap and followed details of aircraft companies it has collaborated with. One of those partners was Cubcrafters, and a team member visited them to tune the XCub’s mass distribution, power curve, control surface limits, and the prop wash effect. All of this should mean more realistic handling, with the team able to fly a real-world Carbon Cub and Cubcrafter’s test pilot able to fly the XCub in Flight Simulator....
