Sony finally revealed the cost of the DualSense Edge, and the high price point is a bit shocking.

The Dual Sense Edge wireless controller for PS5 I’ll run you heavy $199.99 / £209.99 (Australian prices will be announced). For your money, you’ll get interchangeable units like thumb stick covers and rear paddles, textured grips, a black and white aesthetic, and assortment including a carrying case and a lockable USB-C connector cover.

This is slightly more than the cost of the standard double sensation controller, which is sold as retail $69.99 / £59.99 / AU$109.95. It’s also outside a football field Xbox Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller‘s $179.99 / £159.99 / $249.95. It’s not a million miles off the cost Xbox Swhich is usually priced at $299.99 / £249.99 / $499.

As Sony’s first foray into the “Pro” controller market, the DualSense Edge will seriously need to impress at this high price point. But given everything we know so far, I’m not too confident that it’s up to the task.

More than a few double cents

Yes, professional or premium consoles are usually quite expensive. And in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis, buyers are often left wondering if this is even possible Expensive Pro controllers are worth it. When it comes to Xbox Elite Series 2, or third-party platforms like Tenth RevolutionI would say I personally got my money’s worth.

But this will not be a sufficient reason for the average buyer. Pro controllers are a luxury buy, but even on those grounds, I think the DualSense Edge clearly isn’t worth its higher price tag when its competition offers more for less.

At face value, the Edge appears to at least match the Elite Series 2 from a feature perspective. Format knobs, mutable units, dead zone switch operation, and profile settings are all standard, current, and computed.

However, the Edge only has two rear paddles instead of the Elite Series 2’s four. Its new function buttons don’t appear to be reusable, and sit directly under the analog sticks where they can be accidentally pressed quite easily. At least when it comes to klutzes like me.

We also didn’t hear about improvements to DualSense’s more prominent haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. That, and the lack of detail about battery life, is troubling given that this is the only area where Sony’s excellent panel could use some serious improvement.

Now, the DualSense Edge is likely to be just as excellent as its default counterpart. Professional features are always welcome, and the included USB-C connector casing is a great addition. But when you can buy a file Xbox Design Lab Elite Series 2 For a similar price (or cheaper in the UK), I think Sony may have overestimated how much PS5 owners are willing to spend on a Pro pad.

Passwords are declining in popularity as people switch to more secure passwordless authentication methods.

This is according to the latest online authentication metric from FIDO Alliance Reportwhich collects insights into the state of online authentication globally.

Based on a survey of more than 10,000 consumers in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the United States, Australia, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, India and China, FIDO estimates that The password (Opens in a new tab) Internet usage is down 5-9% year over year.

Passwords are still common

The study found that when logging into financial services, work computers and accounts, social media, streaming services, or smart home devices, people are more likely to use biometrics, or other convenient forms of authentication.

However, despite the decline, passwords are still the number one method in Online authentication (Opens in a new tab)despite the headache it causes.

Seven out of ten (70%) individuals have had to recover at least one password in any given month.

Service providers and retailers have also been affected, with more than half (59%) of people simply giving up access to online services.

Furthermore, 43% of people reported abandoning a purchase they intended to make online because they couldn’t remember their password.

As a result, the number of people who decided to keep their accounts logged in increased by 5%-11%.

But it’s not all bad news. FIDO reports that multi-factor authentication (MFA) through the use of one-time passcodes via SMS (OTP) has increased by 1%-4%. While the use of MFA text messaging presents its own problems, the rise may indicate that awareness of alternative security solutions for online accounts and data is beginning to enter the mainstream.

Passkeys, a new authentication method Apple introduced last summer, appears to have a high level of awareness among users, FIDO says. According to her data, 39% of people are familiar with the concept (it reaches 48% among people aged 18-34).

“People see entering passwords as a pain and they avoid it whenever they can,” said Andrew Shekiar, CEO and Marketing Director of the FIDO Alliance.

“Providers are aware of the inconvenience and security issues with passwords and offer more methods of authentication such as stay-logged cookies and/or legacy MFAs such as SMS OTPs.”

While staying away from passwords is a good thing, Shikiar noted that there is still work to be done before everyone is guaranteed more security online.

“However, these attempts at convenience and security still rely on outdated and deceptive authentication techniques that everyone needs to steer clear of if we ever want to stop the ongoing attack of data breaches.”

“All organizations must implement modern, anti-phishing authentication to their roadmaps, whether it be via on-device biometrics, FIDO security keys, or passkeys.”

“We have turned the page and are looking to the future,” said Dipangan Saha. The Globe in his first interview since taking the top position in July. He said hiring has resumed modestly and the company has enough resources to break out of the weak economy.

Saha, a CTO with work experience at Google, Amazon and IBM, said he emphasizes transparency with his employees and improving products for customers.

“I think the future is bright,” Saha said. “I don’t know how long it will take for the market to recover, but we have a long run and we will remain focused on pleasing our customers. That is my focus.”

Former CEO Dan Wright’s top priority was to go public with the company, but a stock market plunge halted the flow of initial public offerings.

“If your focus changes to ‘I have to do an IPO by this time’ or ‘I have to get to the value of the stock by this time,’ that often gets us off track,” Saha said, without naming Wright.

Eighteen months ago, DataRobot was worth $6 billion. But with the tech bubble popping up and venture capitalists slowing their investments in startups, DataRobot’s value is now much lower, analysts said. Among similar public companies, C3.ai shares are down more than 90 percent from their peak and Snowflake is down more than 60 percent.

“I am optimistic and excited to see what [Saha] said Peter Krinsky, analyst at Gartner. “But they are their third CEO in two years…we have to see how well the new leadership team puts out the internal cultural fires and retains the best talent.”

Saha’s professional experience has positioned him well to guide the AI ​​startup through the recovery period.

After receiving his Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Maryland, IBM lured him away from becoming a professor. I’ve spent more than a dozen years at the company, interrupted by a brief stint at an optical networking startup, as I watched firsthand the vagaries of the Internet bubble.

In 2014, I joined Amazon’s Web Services unit and oversaw the development of a database application called Aurora. In 2019, I joined Google to work on data analytics applications. In February, I joined DataRobot as President and CEO, while remaining in the Bay Area.

“Why did you join? If you ask my wife, she will tell you that I have always been a robot and eventually found the right place.”

But the real reason, he said, is all about artificial intelligence and machine learning. It’s not a raster technology, it’s more like software, it’s more like the Internet,” Saha said. “You’ll see AI and machine learning at scale in pretty much everything we do – it’s just a matter of time.”

DataRobot was founded in 2012 by data scientists Jeremy Ashin and Tom de Godoy with the goal of helping customers use artificial intelligence and machine learning to create predictive business models. The rapid growth attracted Silicon Valley investors who clashed with the founders and eventually drove them out. Wright, an attorney who worked for software firm Abdynamics in California, took over as CEO in March 2021.

Wright’s rocky tenure lasted less than 17 months and ended shortly after The Information announced in June that he and four other CEOs Selling allowed DataRobot’s inventory is worth $32 million at the height of valuation and at a time when other employees couldn’t. When the funding sources dried up this year, I saw Continuing spending In declining sales of luxury and racing car sponsorship even when it was laying off 7 per cent of the workforce. In July, when the company’s top talent began to resign, the board of directors replacing Wright with Saha.

Saha is trying to be more inclusive. In all companies’ weekly emails, he breaks down activities and client meetings along with what he’s learned. He held an innovation day a few weeks ago, where he encouraged employees to come up with their best ideas for new products and features.

He also made major changes to the senior executive ranks at DataRobot. Eight people who had the title of “Chief” under Wright left, including Chief Financial Officer Damon Fletcher and Chief Human Resources Officer Elise Cole. All those who replace them hold the titles of Senior Vice Presidents.

He traveled from the Bay Area to the Boston office once or twice a month. (Wright from California made a few visits, citing the pandemic.)

“I hope it will move forward more often,” Saha said. “I want to avoid winter, if I can. I like driving on ice, and I don’t like snow hitting my doorstep.”

Plus: AI’s visible radar aids in drone searches, and a drone is launched into Hurricane Ian

Just when you imagine that there can be no more twists and turns of the war in Ukraine does another one appear. Some may remember that the Estonian security forces Estonian/Russian man arrested Trying to send drones to Russia. The Estonian government has confiscated a shipment of DJI drones.

Estonia has now donated these drones to Ukraine for use against Russia in the ongoing war.

Some would say this is an example of “what comes goes”. However, everyone respects Russia’s nuclear options …

Make drones smart

It’s nice that we have all shapes and sizes of battery and gas powered UAVs, those that take off and land vertically (eVTOL) or horizontally (in general, fixed wing). But how do we make them smart enough to complete tasks on their own?

Artificial intelligence (AI) could be the answer. Take the Boeing Loyal Wingman drone. It is being developed to fly autonomously alongside advanced fighters, possibly to control other drones flying nearby. These tasks require artificial intelligence, which is being integrated into the capabilities of unmanned aircraft systems.

We also have immediate needs, such as search and rescue, security patrols, inspections (for commercial and military facilities, borders and crowd control), and military intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition and reconnaissance (ISR/ISTAR). Besides, Australian company Sentient Vision Systems comes with a passive software-based “optical radar” solution.

Sentient Vision Systems uses its own digital AI processing with existing visible and infrared sensors. This combination could apparently exceed the ability of human and conventional radar to detect and track small moving objects.

Search and rescue at sea can be a really difficult task for people. Not surprisingly, many lengthy searches end up meaningless. While searching, a plane flies from 20,000 feet to 500 feet above the waves. If you’ve ever watched a cabin video of the air and sea searches in action, with a researcher staring out the plane window for hours, struggling to see a little thing bobbing in the sea below, it seems like a daunting task.

As an alternative, take a long-range (>55 nautical miles) drone, such as the Boeing/Insitu ScanEagle. Connect the scanned search camera and high-resolution nose turret to the vidar (visual detection and range) processing.

As a result, you have an autonomous airborne system that can find a person in the water from a distance of about 1.7 nautical miles, and determine the surface of the ferry from about 30 nautical miles. Insitu claims that conventional radar systems cannot do this. Within 12 hours it can search an area of ​​about 13,400 square nautical miles.

Many of these species may have found an early trace of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 in 2014. A Boeing 777 with 239 people on board disappeared over the South China Sea 38 minutes after take-off on a Beijing-bound flight. Over a three-year period, long-range patrol aircraft covered 46,000 square miles before abandoning the search.

During 2015 and 2016, parts of the aircraft began to fall on the shores of countries located on the western Indian Ocean. The search may not have been easy even for a fleet of ScanEagles, considering the logistics and range of drones available, but major accidents may find success with vidar-equipped drones.

In the eye of the hurricane

The devastation caused by Hurricane Ian in southwest Florida was terrible. A shark swimming in a street in Fort Myers shows the degree of flooding left inland from a category 4-5 hurricane.

Ian was the strongest hurricane to make landfall in the United States in decades, with very strong winds and powerful storms. I sat in the middle of the storm 75 miles to the north, and it was a frightening tornado even there. I can’t sympathize enough with the Lee County residents, who only received an evacuation warning a day before they got infected.

However, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has Hurricane Hunter Orion aircraft to investigate on Sept. 28 when the storm came from the Caribbean. Despite the bad turbulence, the P-3 flew into the upper reaches of the hurricane and launched a 27-pound Altus-600 drone into the eye at 4,500 feet. With a range of 275 miles up to 100 miles per hour, the cabin crew was controlling the tiny drone, using it to collect data about wind speed, pressure, temperature and humidity.

During the two-hour mission, an Altus drone flew into the eyewall, monitoring winds of 187 mph at altitudes between 2,300 and 200 feet. It is not clear exactly whether the drone survived.

This radar image of Hurricane Ian shows Altus’ launch point. (Photo: NOAA)

While the information gathered may have helped in instant prediction of us Floridians on the ground, the real scientific value comes from feeding data into the National Hurricane Center’s models for storm detection and analysis to keep us safer in the future.

is contained

In short, this month we saw Russian-directed drones being sent to Ukrainian forces. Vidar artificial intelligence on Insitu ScanEagle drones promises huge gains for search and rescue. Once again, a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) crew flew right into the eye of the hurricane, this time launching a drone to help collect essential storm data.

DuckDuckGo The privacy-focused web browser is now available for download in an open beta for all Mac users. It’s still all about keeping your personal data private but it’s also mixed with some interesting new features.

Over the past several months, the company has been steadily working on the desktop version of the DuckDuckGo browser. Originally , The desktop browser was launched as a closed beta in April (Opens in a new tab)And from the looks of it, everything that was there at the time is in this new version. This includes things like “multiple layers of defense against external trackers”, According to the advertisement (Opens in a new tab). The new features are all about improving the user experience by specifically clearing annoying ads on YouTube. The developers also added some basic browser features that were missing in the first beta such as bookmarks bar and pinned tabs.

You can install the browser on your Mac by going to DuckDuckGo موقع (Opens in a new tab) The download should start automatically. Upon installation, you can import your own bookmarks and passwords from other browsers and password managers. The Windows version in development is currently only available for DuckDuckGo “Friends and Family”. The company said it expects a private beta release for PC over the coming months.

Old and new features

Before we get into the new, let’s move briefly to the returned features.

The previously mentioned layers of defense protect users from online bots, preventing companies from putting a unique identifier (known as a fingerprint) on you as a way to follow you online. Cookies are also blocked to ensure complete privacy. Earning Payout is the smartest encryption tool, which encrypts your internet connection, and fire button (Opens in a new tab). The latter is very cool because it completely clears all traces of your browsing session from your open tabs, cache, permissions, and back button history. But you also have the ability to “fight fire” for a website to save its data from mass deletion.

Among the new tools, one of our favorites is Duck Player which specifically stops ads and cookies that track users from YouTube videos. If the ad doesn’t track people, it will run as normal. But as it turns out, the vast majority of ads on YouTube videos track people, so most of them will be gone, according to DuckDuckGo. A company representative told us that Duck Player only works on YouTube and “will not work with other services at this time.”

DuckDuckGo has also modified its ad blocker to erase any whitespace left by ads for a cleaner look. And in the coming weeks, the browser is adding support for Bitwarden, allowing users to integrate a password manager for added protection.

The company requests feedback on how to improve the browser. You can submit your ideas to the developers by clicking the three dots below the fire button. There, you will find the feedback tool.

industry strengthening

In the ad, DuckDuckGo briefly mentions how other browsers have lackluster tracking protection. It also alludes to The recent news regarding incognito mode on Google Chrome is not so special. The developers at Google even joke about it being bad and this raises an interesting question about the safety of online privacy protection. Are browser developers really concerned about privacy?

DuckDuckGo isn’t the only privacy-focused browser. Mozilla Firefox and Opera have, in recent years, brought privacy closer to the center of their development efforts. But According to recent dataPrivacy-focused browsers are having a hard time gaining traction with users. Mozilla goes so far as to accuse tech giants like Apple and Microsoft of “abusing their privileged position” by making it difficult for users to switch browsers.

Until DuckDuckGo launches on Mac, there are other ways to increase online privacy. Make sure you check out List of TechRadar’s Best Privacy Tools for 2022 To find out what they can do to protect you.

South Korean AI chip maker Sapeon plans to manufacture its new AI chipset X330 series using TSMC’s 7-nanometer node next year, according to the company’s CTO.

telco subsidiary SK Telecom has secured several new customers alongside the parent company since the split in April last year, including NHN Data Center, according to Sapeon CTO Chung Moo-kyoung.

The company will start offering 7nm chips next year and aims to secure 2 trillion won in cumulative revenue by 2027.

Sapeon gained notice when in 2020 it launched the AI ​​X220 chip. The chip was shown as 2.3 times faster than Nvidia’s A2 GPU in the MLPerf benchmarking competition.

The X220 is made using 28nm, but it still outperforms other 10nm chips while also being price-competitive and energy efficient, Chung said.

The CTO said the chip has now received verification that it is stable and complete, enough for mass production.

Chung said its successor, the X330, is made of 7 nanometers because it is designed to handle the large-scale inductions of data centers.

The company aims to launch the X500 series in 2027 and will continue to develop new variants of the series, according to the CTO.

Most of these chips will be paired with a high-bandwidth memory chip, opening the doors for cooperation with subsidiary SK Hynix.

This is important because there is a growing demand for chips made specifically for specific applications.

Chung also noted that while many of its peers will have trouble spending more to develop advanced chips at 10nm or smaller, it won’t have that problem thanks to it being part of the SK Group.
