Whether you own a “Vizio IR remote” or a “Vizio Voice Remote,” you can easily use the volume buttons to turn up the volume on your Vizio TV. However, it can be troublesome if you have lost the remote or don’t have easy access to it. Also, there can be times when these buttons stop working and you need an alternative. Luckily, Vizio TVs have a physical volume button to help you in such cases....
SSD, or Solid State Drive, uses flash memory to store data that you can access digitally. This results in the SSD to have faster read, write and access time, making it much more efficientcompared to its counterpart, theHard Disk Drive(HDD). As access time on an SSD is low, any applications installed inside the SSD will load much faster than the application installed in a slower storage device. This is why most users install their Operating System in SSD....
Hewlett PackardEnterprise(HPE), one of the world’s largest makers of servers, has initiated a legal battle against Inspur Group, China’s largest server maker, and its affiliates, alleging server patent infringements. HPE accuses Inspur of engaging in deceptive practices and renaming its subsidiaries in the U.S. to continue its business with American companies despite being included into the Entity List. HPE: Inspur infringes our patents Thelawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California and discovered byThe Register, accuses Inspur of using, selling, and distributing products that unlawfully incorporate HPE’s patented technologies, seeking damages and an injunction to halt further infringements....
When Hewlett PackardEnterprise(HPE)announced its intentto acquire Juniper Networks for $14 billion back in January of 2024, it sparked the usual buzz around consolidation in enterprise tech. But what looked at first like a classic case of portfolio expansion—HPE growing its edge-to-cloud stack by folding in Juniper’s networking business—may have had far higher strategic stakes behind the scenes. New reporting from Axiosreveals that the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) actually had internal conflict over whether to block the deal, with multiple officials arguing it posed competitive concerns....
China, unable to access leading-edge wafer fab tools from American, European, and Japanese manufacturers, has to develop its own fab equipment. Huawei is building a giant research and development (R&D) center near Shanghai, where it plans to develop chipmaking tools that will have to be competitive with systems designed by ASML, Canon, and Nikon, reportsNikkei. The R&D center will focus on developing lithography machines, which are essential for making chips on leading-edge nodes....
Zhang Ping’an, chief executive of Huawei Cloud, dismissed fears that China’s limited access to the most advanced AI processors, such as Nvidia’s H100/H200 and B100/B200, would hinder its progress in AI. Speaking at the World AI Conference in Shanghai, he emphasized that China should not solely depend on these high-end chips to achieve leadership in AI. “Nobody will deny that we are facing limited computing power in China,” said Zhang Ping’an at the World AI Conference in Shanghai, reportsReuters....
Huawei is reportedly developing a new archival storage system using magnet-electrical disks that will reduce power consumption by 90% compared to standard hard drives (HDDs). As reported byBlocks and Files, this new system will be released in the 2nd half of 2025 overseas (with a China-specific release date being potentially sooner). “Huawei’s MED (magneto-electric disk) brings brand-new innovation against magnetic media. The first generation of MED will be as a big capacity disk....
Hardware leakersJaykihnandHarukaze5719have reportedly leaked the power profiles for Intel’s Arrow Lake and Panther Lake processors. These next-generation chips will arrive to rival thebest CPUson the market. The leak details Intel’s Baseline, Performance, and Extreme power profiles for five distinct variants of Arrow Lake-S processors. The core configurations and TDPs include: 8+16 at 125W, 8+12 at 125W, 6+8 at 125W, 6+8 at 65W, and 6+4 at 65W. The former number depicts the number of P-cores, while the latter depicts the chip’s number of E-cores....
Intel has discontinued itsRS1 Laminarstock cooler, which was previously the lowest-end model among the company’s three stock coolers. Introduced in 2021 alongside 12th Gen Alder Lake CPUs, the RS1 uses an all-aluminum design with a plastic shroud that’s just 47mm tall and weighs around 260 grams. It’s essentially an upgraded version of Intel’s old stock cooler, with a more optimally designed heatsink and a larger, five-blade fan, and is rated to cool 65 watt chips....
Intel CEO Pat Geisinger announced the launch of the company’s Xeon 6 ‘Sierra Forest’ processors during hisComputex2024 keynote here in Taipei, Taiwan. The Xeon 6 lineup is comprised of two families. The E-core-powered Sierra Forest models with up to 144 cores are launching today, but 288-core models will follow next year. Intel’s efficiency-focused 288-core chips will face off with AMD’s looming density-focused 192-coreEPYC Turinmodels when they come to market later this year....
Intel’sfab near Magdeburg, Germany, will not only be the most advanced semiconductor production facility in Europe, but, according to CEO Pat Gelsinger, the most advanced fab in the world when it comes online. The fab will process wafers using post-18A process technologies and will be used to make products both for Intel as well as its Intel Foundry Services customers. “This will be not only the most advanced manufacturing fab in Germany, the most advanced [chip] manufacturing in the world will occur at the Magdeburg site,” Gelsinger said at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, broadcast byCNBC....
Downloading songs on iTunes is pretty straightforward. You browse the song in the iTunes store, click on the price next to it, and finally, pay for it. Although it’s easy, sometimes, iTunes won’t download songs. Often, it displays the songs as purchased but you’re not able to download them. Or, it gets stuck when you’re paying for the songs. When situations like these unfold, your prayers won’t be enough. You’ll need to take matters into your own hands to fix this problem....
JEDEC Solid State Technology Association, the industry group working on building standards, announced that it’s working on building standards for DDR5 MRDIMM and LPDD6 CAMM specifically for high-performance computing and AI applications. DDR5 MRDIMM, or Multiplexed Rank Dual Inline Memory Modules, are system RAM designed for servers and data centers. MRDIMMs add multiplexing capabilities to RDIMMs used in most of today’s systems, which combine multiple data signals and transmit them over a single channel....
