OnePlus 6T Launch Noticed by Apple – Competitors Have Their Eye On OnePlus

According to past rumors, OnePlus 6T was supposed to be launched on October 17th, but this turned out to be incorrect and it was later officially announced that the newest OnePlus’ device will make its debut on October 30th in New York City. However, it looks like the launch event might be ruined, as Apple plans to unveil its new devices, iPad Pro 2018 and Macs, in the same place and at the same time.

Apple will take OnePlus’ spotlight

OnePlus 6T is expected to be an improvement over OnePlus 6, which itself makes this smartphone quite exciting. Unfortunately for the Chinese company, the media attention on the day of its launch will surely be focused on Apple and its new devices, even though OnePlus 6T, a smartphone, is not a direct competitor of iPad Pro and iMac.

Huawei and Google already launched their smartphones

But this is not the only worry for OnePlus. The fact that they will hold the event at the end of October gives a huge advantage to Huawei and Google, who already unveiled their smartphones, Mate 20 Pro and Pixel 3, earlier this month. Moreover, both devices, although they are more expensive, are more interesting than OnePlus 6T.

No company can beat Apple’s press conferences

Apple is known for its entertaining press conferences, which always gather the attention of the whole world. OnePlus cannot match the American company, as no matter what they will present on stage, the coverage they will get is going to be limited.

The launch event of OnePlus 6T is set to start at 11:00 AM EST at Pier 36 in New York City, exactly one hour later than Apple’s event, which, surprisingly, will take place in the same city at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

Will Quantum Computers Revolutionize the Conventional Computers?

The development of quantum technology is one of the main occupations in researcher’s plans. David Gosset from the Institute for Quantum Computing, Robert Konig, professor for the theory of complex quantum systems at the TUM and Sergey Bravyi from IBM are working together to develop more in this field.

So what is the difference between a conventional computer and a quantum computer?

Well, the computers we know run on the binary numbers 0 and 1, which have the role in mathematical operations. A microscopic point on a microchip is the conventional memory of a conventional computer and it can determine if the smallest unit of information is 0 or 1. It usually performs operations slower and separately.

On the other hand, a quantum computer’s bit can be simultaneously 0 and 1 because it follows the laws of quantum physics which say that electrons can be present in multiple places at the same time.  A quantum bit is also called qubits. A quantum computer runs and has the ability to solve bugs at a faster rate.

David Gosset, Robert Konig and Sergey Bravyi have built up a quantum circuit to prove furthermore the advantages of a quantum computer. The circuit is able to solve algebraic that are pretty hard to and performs a limited number of tasks in each qubit.

Why the quantum algorithm is better than any classical circuit?

The quantum algorithm achieves the nonlocality of quantum physics. The advantages of these quantum computers have not been totally proved but the evidence point in the right way. But it is fair to say that there is a possibility that the solution to solve these problems has just been found for conventional computers.

‘Our result shows that quantum information processing really dies to provide benefits, without having to rely on unproven complexity theoretic conjectures’ Robert Konig said about the new results of their research.

The quantum circuit has a simple structure and is showing characteristics of being a candidate for a future experimental realization of quantum algorithms.

Microsoft To Release A Patch To Tackle the Spectre V2 Vulnerability

Earlier this year, two vulnerabilities were discovered that affected the performance of Windows 10 and had risen many debates online. We’re talking about Spectre and Meltdown, which as everyone knows, affected the performance of computers with Intel processors and Windows 10. Following the discovery of Spectre and Meltdown, both companies rushed to put the problem to an end and, although they managed to solve some of the vulnerabilities of Spectre and Meltdown, Microsoft has now reported that it will tackle the more recent Spectre V2 vulnerability.

Intel’s new processors are already immune to these hardware failures, and although Microsoft had solved some software problems, now the software company will release a new patch to tackle the Spectre V2 vulnerability to address the performance issues it causes in Windows 10.

Remember that Spectre V2 is one of the vulnerabilities that affected the most the performance of computers, as it could even reduce the performance of a processor by up to 20%, but Microsoft is going to prevent this from happening by enabling the next major update of Windows 10, Retpoline.

Spectre V2 vulnerability will no longer be a performance problem in Windows 10

With Retpoline enabled in Windows 10, Microsoft expects that they will tackle Spectre V2 vulnerability lowering its incidence to 2%. However, Retpoline will only be available to users who upgrade their computers to Windows 10 1903 or Redstone 6, which will arrive for everyone in the spring of next year.

So, the patch to address Spectre V2 can’t be launched for previous versions, so those using older computers that can’t upgrade to this version could still be affected by the vulnerability. However, all those who update their computers will be protected from the vulnerability that most affects system performance.

To have the confirmation of the real improvement in performance the patch would bring, it will be necessary to wait for the first tests, something that users of the Windows 10 Insiders program will be able to commence very soon since the Retpoline function would be about to reach these users.

However, the rest will have to wait until April, when Microsoft is expected to release the new significant Windows 10 update that will also pack this new feature to tackle Spectre V2.
