The Sphere , a music and entertainment arena east of the Las Vegas Strip, is a staggering technological achievement, standing approximately 366 feet tall and 516 feet wide, making it the largest spherical building in the world.  If you've seen any photos of it, you'll know the exterior is coated in 1.2 million fully-programmable puck-sized LEDs that allow for the creation of stunning, dynamic 360-degree image displays. The interior is just as cutting edge however. With a seating capacity for up to 18,000 people, it hosts various events such as concerts and performances and features a 160,000-square-foot, 16K wraparound LED canvas, making it the world's largest and highest resolution LED screen with 256 million rendered pixels. Enter Matrox To manage this, multimedia system designer and integrator Fuse Technical Group, developed a system capable of handling 16K resolution, running on a complete SMPTE ST 2110 backbone, a standard they were not accustomed to. "It to...

The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 could come with a flatter and square-aspect-ratio inner display, potentially making for a phone with a wider inner screen and cover display.  That’s according to reliable smartphone tipster Ice Universe , who claimed on X that the next Galaxy Fold could be wider and have screen edges that are closer to a true right angle. If this turns out to be the case, as noted by SamMobile , the Galaxy Z Fold 6 could have a screen design that’s not unlike the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra .  A wider cover display would translate to a wider overall design, which would likely see the cover screen expand, perhaps offering a similar amount of screen real estate to the  OnePlus Open . While Samsung has made improvements to the cover display of its Fold phones, they're arguably still too narrow to be used easily, especially if you have larger hands. In the post, Ice Universe compares this to the screen design and middle frame of the rectangular Nubia Z60 Ultra, w...

If you’ve ever wanted to take a peek inside a supercomputer, Nvidia has an absolute treat for you.  The AI tech behemoth, which recently overtook both Amazon and Google’s parent company Alphabet to become the third most valuable US company , has pulled back the curtain on Eos, its data-center-scale supercomputer - ranked one of the fastest in the world.

Optimized for AI workloads Named after the Greek goddess who opens the gates of dawn each day, Eos is an expansive Nvidia DGX SuperPOD, that serves as Nvidia's development hub for AI breakthroughs, leveraging accelerated computing infrastructure and fully optimized software. The Eos supercomputer is built with 576 Nvidia DGX H100 systems, Nvidia Quantum-2 InfiniBand networking, plus software, and is capable of delivering a whopping 18.4 exaflops of FP8 AI performance. Each DGX...

Notorious Israeli commercial spyware company NSO Group was reportedly offering a way to exfiltrate sensitive mobile phone data unlike anything ever seen before, experts have revealed.  A new report from telecom security specialists Enea discovered the method while recently sifting through the documents filed during the court case between WhatsApp and NSO Group. According to ENEA, in late 2019, WhatsApp committed into evidence a copy of a contract between an NSO Group reseller, and the telecom regulator of Ghana. In the contract, one of the features and capabilities NSO Group offered was called “MMS Fingerprint”. Blocking malicious MMS messages This feature, as it later turned out, was exploiting a vulnerability in both Android and iOS (but also in BlackBerry devices, apparently) to exfiltrate some sensitive data from the device.  After a bit of digging, ENEA managed to recreate the flaw, and then explained how it worked. Allegedly, the attacker could create a unique, ma...

Nvidia has unveiled the RTX 2000 ADA Generation , a powerful yet energy-efficient addition to its workstation GPU lineup. As you can guess from the name, it’s built around Nvidia’s cutting-edge Ada Lovelace architecture, meaning users benefit from third-generation RT Cores, fourth-generation Tensor Cores, CUDA cores, and AV1 encoders. The seventh SKU in Nvidia's workstation GPU series is centered around the AD107 GPU, and reportedly delivers up to 1.5x the performance of its predecessor, the RTX A2000, in professional workflows. It’s particularly well suited for fields like 3D modeling, rendering, data visualization, and video streaming. Nvidia says the RTX 2000 ADA also has potential in embedded applications and edge computing, where it can power real-time data processing for medical devices, optimize manufacturing processes, and enable AI-driven intelligence in retail environments. 70 watts RTX 2000 ADA Generation’s low-profile, small form factor means it doesn’t need exter...

Japanese tech giant Rakuten Symphony has announced the full-scale commercial launch of its own cloud storage service in Japan. While the free 10GB storage it offers is reasonable, the real game-changer here is its unlimited file transfer service. Aimed at both individual and enterprise customers, Rakuten Drive allows users to send large files quickly and offers secure, intuitive file storage and sharing on the cloud. The service has integrated Microsoft 365 productivity apps, enabling real-time viewing and editing of documents, decks, and spreadsheets. Rakuten Drive began life as Sendy in 2019, but was brought into Rakuten Symphony in 2021 when the company acquired its South Korean developer, Estmob. Since then, Rakuten Drive has seen substantial growth, both in Japan and worldwide, but it's never been made commercially available until now. Rakuten Drive PRO “Our file storage cloud service enables users to safely and efficiently manage their valuable personal and business fi...
