Scientists Achieve Major Breakthrough in Quantum Computing with 72-Qubit Processor

Image
In a significant leap forward for quantum computing, a team of researchers has successfully developed and tested a 72-qubit quantum processor. This achievement marks a substantial increase in the number of qubits compared to previous quantum systems and brings us closer to the realization of practical and scalable quantum computers. The development of this 72-qubit processor involved overcoming numerous technical challenges related to qubit stability, coherence, and control. By employing advanced error correction techniques and implementing sophisticated control mechanisms, the researchers were able to enhance the reliability and computational power of the quantum processor. Quantum computers have the potential to revolutionize various fields by solving complex computational problems exponentially faster than classical computers. With this latest breakthrough, researchers can explore new applications in areas such as cryptography, optimization, material science, drug discovery, and art...

Researchers Develop Mind-Reading AI System for Prosthetic Limbs

Image
Scientists at a leading research institution have made significant progress in the development of a mind-reading artificial intelligence (AI) system that could revolutionize the functionality of prosthetic limbs. The team has successfully created an AI algorithm that can interpret a person's neural signals and translate them into precise movements of robotic limbs. The breakthrough technology relies on advanced brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) that are capable of capturing and decoding electrical signals from the brain. These signals are then processed by the AI system, which can interpret the user's intentions and translate them into real-time movements of a prosthetic arm or leg. The researchers conducted trials with volunteers who had implanted electrodes in their brains as part of their medical treatment. By using the mind-reading AI system, participants were able to control the prosthetic limbs with remarkable precision and fluidity, mimicking natural movements. The potent...

Windows 11 KB5012643 released - here's everything new and improved

Image
  KB5012643 is now available for Windows 11 with a few noteworthy changes and a range of additional bug fixes. The update is rolling out via Windows Update and WSUS, but you can also download the offline installers of Windows 11 KB5012643. The offline installers are particularly helpful when users are unable to install the patch via the traditional methods. Windows 11 KB5012643 is an optional cumulative preview update and it is designed to test the changes set to ship with May 2022 Patch Tuesday updates. Like the rest of the optional updates, this cumulative update won’t download and install automatically unless you check for updates and manually start the download. This optional cumulative update is not a huge release unlike the March 2022 optional update, but there are several quality improvements. For example, Microsoft has added a new feature that would display the temperature on top of the weather icon which was added to the taskbar with the April 2022 Update. Microsoft has fi...

Picsart’s Free Photo Editing Tools Are Now Integrated into Google Drive

Image
  Picsart has announced that its entire web-based photo editor is available directly integrated into Google Drive. The app enables users to edit Google Drive images in Picsart’s Web Editor and save them back to Drive in one connected interface. Picsart, which is mostly known for its wildly popular smartphone app, expanded with a web-based photo editor in October of 2020. The company has worked with Google to make those tools available as Drive extension. This enables users to edit images using Picsart’s engine without having to leave the Drive platform. Integration within Drive means direct access to a host of editing capabilities including background removal, templates, filters, effects, stickers, and text. In short, if it’s available in Picsart’s browser editor, it’s available in Google Drive. Picsart says that the integration with Google Drive is part of a wider push to better serve the creator economy at large and comes after Picsart rebranded last year to appeal to this audien...

Smartphone Brands in India Donated Rs 41+ Crores, 160,000+ Masks & 7050+ PPE Suits

Image
  The ongoing Coronavirus pandemic has brought the smartphone production to a grinding halt with lockdown all over. Even smartphone sales became stagnant as the Government is allowing only the sales of essential products to curb the spread of the virus. However, smartphone brands have been actively involved in raising more awareness about the virus. As per the information available on the internet, the majority of the smartphone brands have donated funds along with supplying essential medical equipment like masks and PPE suites. Most of the brands even extended the warranties on their product for 2-3 months. HUAWEI Huawei, the popular Chinese telecommunications company, had actively participated in curbing the Coronavirus when it initially started spreading in China. Recently, the company has donated Rs 7 crore towards the Prime Minister’s Citizen Assistance and Relief in Emergency Situations Fund (PMCares Fund) and six other local state governments. According to Economictimes, the...

Google will kill call recording apps on Android for good starting May 11

Image
A Google Play policy change will effectively render third-party call recording apps useless starting May 11. Google recently made some changes to its Play Store Policy that come into effect starting May 11. One of those changes aims to kill call recording apps on Android for good. As noted by Reddit user NLL Apps, this particular policy change affects the use of the Accessibility API by app developers. Google states, “The Accessibility API is not designed and cannot be requested for remote call audio recording.” Google also clarified the policy in a developer webinar streamed live just a few hours ago. Google has been slowly deprecating and removing APIs that enable call recording over several Android versions. The company does this in the name of privacy and security and also because call recording laws are so varied across different countries. In Android 10, Google blocked call recording by default. So to circumvent the restriction, Play Store apps started using the Accessibility API...

How to enable God Mode on Windows 11, and what is it?

Image
Windows 11 introduced a new Settings app, which is the way Microsoft wants most users to change settings on their PC. The Settings app has a modern UI and it provides a wide range of options for users to tailor their PC experience, but it’s not exactly a perfect replacement for the classic Control Panel. If you want to access those old Control Panel options, there’s a feature often referred to as God Mode in Windows 11, which gives you quick access to over 200 settings in a very intuitive way. God Mode in Windows 11 (as well as previous versions of Windows) is simply a folder that contains shortcuts to most or all of the options available in the Control Panel. It’s useful because it makes all of those shortcuts quickly available without having to navigate the potentially confusing interface of the Control Panel. All the items are sorted and grouped so they’re easy enough to find. If you’re wondering how to enable this feature yourself, we’re here to help. How to enable God Mode in Wind...
