Samsung will use Nvidia tech to improve its semiconductor chips
Source
Samsung Electronics will pilot apply ‘digital twin’ technology to its semiconductor factories starting next year.
Digital Twin technology helps create virtual versions of real-world objects and uses artificial intelligence (AI) and big data to analyze and predict various situations.
If this is applied to a semiconductor factory, defective products can be greatly reduced, thus improving the semiconductor yield and also making AI process analysis possible.
This digital twin technology is based on NVIDIA's digital twin platform, 'Omniverse'.
If the pilot operation goes ahead as scheduled next year, the digital twin will be introduced to the factory 2 years after development began.
An industry insider said, "TSMC has already applied digital twin technology to its core processes and has been able to stably secure the yield of increasingly finer processes

Green Lines on Smartphone Display
Green line occurs on smartphone displays due to a loose/damaged display connector or a flex cable
But the major reason causing green lines is "heating", especially from gaming
Most issues are reported from India because of extremely hot summers
Micro Solder heats up & the heat dissipation system kicks in, trying to "rapidly cool" it
But the micro solder may crack, introducing green lines
How often it happens strictly depends on how far away the PCB is from the "screen side"
Google Pixels barely have green lines issues because of its design and Pixels opens from the front, thus the frame & back side get hot
Xiaomi smartphones open from the back & basically, it dumps all the heat into the screen
It's mostly during software updates because while rebooting & updating, the SoC gets hot and so does the phone
There's a limit to how much abuse the display can take and there's NO thermal mitigation while it's rebooting or updating in recovery if not AB

Apple Backtracks, Reinstates Epic Games developer account
In 2020, Apple REMOVED Epic’s developer account after Epic began using its own in-app payment option for Fortnite on iOS
The two companies went to court and the court told Epic that Apple did NOT operate a monopoly
However, Apple MUST allow app sales outside the App Store
Fortnite was removed from the iOS App Store but Epic Games brought it back through Xbox Cloud Gaming and GeForce NOW
Then EU's DMA came into force allowing alternative app stores
Epic Games announced that Fortnite app is coming to Europe through 3rd-party App stores
Epic opened a NEW developer account & automated system granted it.
However, Apple BANNED it citing Epic Games as "verifiably untrustworthy”
Apple said that it had NO reason to believe Epic Games would not once again violate App Store policy as it did in 2020
The EU quickly stepped in to investigate Apple
Apple has now reinstated the account in 2 days after having written assurance from Epic

iOS 17.4 Alternative App Stores will stop working if you travel outside the EU
Apple is allowing iPhone users in the EU access to alternative app stores in order to comply with the EU's DMA
To gain access to alternative app marketplaces, the country or region of a user's Apple ID must be set to one of the countries or regions of the EU
Additionally, you must be physically located in the EU.
The geolocation check happens on the device and your exact location is NOT shared with Apple’s servers.
However, Apple notes that iPhone users who travel outside of the EU can expect to be able to update apps installed through alternative app marketplaces for 30 days,
After that, apps will NOT be able to be updated but the apps will still be functional
A Screen Time setting also allows parents to decide whether their children's devices can install apps from alternative app marketplaces.

Xiaomi India Uses a Samsung Smartphone 💀
Xiaomi India's Twitter handle posted a screen recording showcasing their partnership with Swiggy
However, the screen recording that Xiaomi India posted from their own smartphone shows they are using a Samsung smartphone instead of a Xiaomi LMFAO
It is a legit Samsung phone as the battery icon & percentage are different in Xiaomi even if themed.
Also, it's old or maybe a budget Samsung phone 💀 as the screenshot is in a 20:9 ratio & nowadays Samsung uses 19.5:9 even for Galaxy A54
Xiaomi India has now deleted their Swiggy Partnership tweet after being caught in 4K and getting trolled on Twitter for the same
We have seen brands like OnePlus, Samsung, and Google tweeting/posting from their iPhones which is pretty common but Xiaomi uses a Samsung budget phone
Even Xiaomi employees especially of their main Twitter account refrain from using a Xiaomi smartphone.
How embarrassing Xiaomi 😭😂

1x Cortex-X4 @ 2.80GHz
4x A720 @ 2.61GHz
3x A520 @ 1.90GHz
GPU: Adreno 732
GeekBench 6 Scores
Single-core: 1853
Multi-core: 4986
It is slightly less powerful than Snapdragon 8 gen 2 SoC

Meet Carl Pei! An unprofessional CEO
YouTube
To increase the hype for his Phone 2a, Carl Pei is now comparing it with other smartphones like Vivo V29e, Note 13 Pro, Realme 12 Pro and OnePLus Nord CE3 just to brainwash people into thinking Phone 2a is the BEST
Phone like Motorola Edge 40 Neo which even have IP68 rating & 144Hz refresh rate or the Poco X6 Pro which has Dimensity 8300-Ultra SoC, LPDDR5 and UFS 4.0 storage unlike Phone 2a with UFS 2.2 storage were NOT taken into consideration
So he very cleverly chose only those smartphone which are inferior
His comparison was also 'biased' as Redmi Note 13 Pro has 5100mAh battery but it was rejected because the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC was made on Samsung Foundry
Phone 2a is priced pretty well only because Phone 2 has very bad/less sales
Like, If you are confident of you product, there is NO need to compare it with others
Even Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun does NOT practices these 'Twitter tech sentiments' unlike Carl Pei

Indian Government Permission will be Required for Deploying AI models Publicly
India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) issued an advisory noting that AI & LLM models including software using generative AI or any algorithms that are currently being tested, are in the beta stage of development must seek “explicit permission of the government of India” before being deployed for users on the Indian internet
A popup should inform users of potential defects or errors produced by AI, and to inform users by labelling deepfakes with permanent unique metadata or other identifiers.
Platforms must ensure any LLM or other AI model product does not permit bias, discrimination, or threaten the integrity of the "electoral process"
MeitY also notes its an advisory and not a regulation.
But at the same time, MeitY is also asking permission for the same 😂
Additionally, this advisory does NOT apply to startups
