Electronics repair website iFixit this weekend shared an iPad mini 7 teardown video, and it adds some mystery to the device’s “jelly scrolling” improvements.
“Jelly scrolling” refers to screen tearing, which can cause text or images on one side of the screen to appear to be tilted downwards because of a mismatch in refresh rates. It can cause one side of the display to look as if it is responding faster than the other side, resulting in a visual disturbance that is hard to ignore once noticed. Some customers noticed the effect on the iPad mini 6 when the device was used in portrait orientation, leading to complaints over the past three years, but not everyone noticed it or was bothered by the effect.
Despite an Apple spokesperson once stating that “jelly scrolling” was “normal” behavior for iPads with LCD displays, it appears the company still felt inclined to reduce the effect on the iPad mini 7. Many reviewers said that “jelly scrolling” was less noticeable or not noticeable at all..
A federal jury Friday ruled that Masimo’s smartwatches infringed on Apple Watch patents, but awarded Apple just $250 in damages, which is the statuary minimum amount Apple could seek while it pursues a jury trial rather than a court trial over Masimo’s alleged infringements.
Masimo’s discontinued W1 Freedom smartwatch
According to Bloomberg Law, jurors found that the original design for Masimo’s W1 Freedom and health module, plus its charger, willfully infringed on Apple design patents. However, Masimo said that the ruling only applied to a discontinued module and charger. The distinction undermines Apple’s claim of irreparable harm, so while the company won damages, the decision essentially removed Apple’s chance to block Masimo’s current products.
“Apple primarily sought an injunction against Masimo’s current products, and the jury’s verdict is a victory for Masimo on that issue,” a Masimo spokesperson said in a statement.
The trial came about due to Apple’s countersuit in its on..
Anyone who’s ever vacuumed their home will have experienced frustration with vacuum cleaner cords. They’re either too short, which means you yank the plug out of the socket the moment you stray too far from it. Or they’re too long, which means you spend endless minutes spooling them up every time you move from room to room.
And even if your cord is somehow magically the right length, that’s not the end of your problems. Because somehow, it seems impossible to avoid getting the cord tangled around itself, your furniture or yourself, making the task of vacuuming your floor all the more time-consuming and exhausting. Not least if you end up tripping over the darned thing and taking an undignified tumble.
In this light, the best cordless vacuum cleaners have a lot going for them. Running on rechargeable batteries, these clever devices cut out all the problems mentioned above, and you can easily use them anywhere, including places where there’s no socket to be found at all, like a car par..
From the now-infamous Mother’s Day photo from Kensington Palace to faked audio of Tom Cruise disparaging the Olympic Committee, AI-generated content has made headlines recently for all the wrong reasons. These instances are sparking widespread controversy and paranoia, leaving people questioning the authenticity and origin of content they see online.
It’s impacting every corner of society, not only public figures and everyday internet users, but also the world’s largest companies. Chase Bank, for instance, reported being fooled by a deepfake during an internal experiment. Meanwhile, a report revealed that in just one year, deepfake incidents skyrocketed in the fintech sector by 700%.
Today, there’s a critical lack of transparency around AI, including whether an image, video, or voice was AI-generated or not. Efficient methods of auditing AI, which unlock a greater level of accountability and incentivizes companies to more aggressively root out misleading content, are still developing. ..
Engineers at StorageReview have shattered their own world record by calculating pi to an astounding 202,112,290,000,000 digits, smashing its previous record of 105 trillion digits set earlier this year in time for World Pi Day (March 14 – 3/14).
The previous record, the team’s second attempt, was achieved using a dual processor 128-core AMD EPYC 9754 Bergamo system, equipped with 1.5TB of DRAM and nearly a petabyte of Solidigm QLC SSDs. For this attempt, the team opted for dual Intel Xeon 8592+ CPUs and 28 Solidigm P5336 61.44TB NVMe SSDs.
Key to the challenge was a Dell PowerEdge R760 with a 24-bay NVMe Direct Drives backplane and an internal PCIe switch to enable simultaneous communication among all NVMe drives without the need for extra hardware or RAID devices. The setup was further customized by integrating a PCIe riser from multiple R760s for additional NVMe SSDs and enhancing it with larger heatsinks from another R760 to maximize turbo-boost capability.
