Sony PlayStation 5’s new software update allows games to be stored on external USB drives: Here are the advantages

Sony recently announced a new software update for the PlayStation 5 console that will enable the users to keep their video games on external storage drives. Considering the large volumes of modern video games, this update is perceived not only beneficial but also essential.

How will the secondary storage option benefit PlayStation 5 users?

The new feature of secondary storage comes under the April update of the PlayStation 5. The console offers total internal storage of 825GB SSD. However, some storage is utilised by the system files and the operating system. As a result, the effective memory available for video games is only 667.2GB. On the other hand, PC gamers have the flexibility to store their games on as many external devices as they want to allow them to play unlimited games. According to Hideaki Nishino, PlayStation’s Senior Vice President of Platform Planning and Management, “It is faster to reinstall PS5 games from USB extended storage than to re-download or copy them from a disc. Because PS5 games are designed to take advantage of the console’s ultra-high-speed SSD, PS5 titles can’t be played from USB extended storage.” The new feature in PlayStation 5 will allow the gamers to keep their large-sized games on external USB storage devices like external hard drives or external SSDs. Some high-volume video games include GTA V (68GB), Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (77GB), Hitman 2 (149GB), Red Dead Redemption 2 (150GB), and Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare (231 GB).

What is the limitation of the new software update in PlayStation 5?

Although the PlayStation 5 users will get the flexibility to keep their games on multiple storage options, they can’t play the video games directly from the external drives. To run a video game, the users will have to copy the game files to the console’s internal storage. According to Hideaki Nishino, PlayStation’s Senior Vice President of Platform Planning and Management, “PS5 titles also cannot be directly downloaded to USB extended storage” the “games that you transfer or copy back to internal storage will automatically update when applicable.”

What other features will the new software update offer?

The April update of the PlayStation 5 software will come with the ability to automatically download the video game updates. It will also have a cross-generation Share Play feature that will enable the PlayStation 5 users to share their screen with PlayStation 4 users. As a result, PlayStation 4 users can enjoy the PlayStation 5 games via Share Play.

  • Connect the external USB storage to your PlayStation 5 console.
  • Go to Settings > Storage > External Storage > Games and Apps.

Apple has officially confirmed its next event is to be held on April 20, which is Tuesday. But before the announcement about the event could be made official, the company’s voice assistant Siri revealed the details about the upcoming event which is next week. A lot of speculations and leaks are suggesting that soon the company will take the wraps off its latest iPad Pro models. Also, the company has a tradition of keeping its event on Tuesdays if we look at its past events. The Apple voice assistant has been telling people that Apple’s next event is to be held on April 20 at Apple Park in Cupertino.  If you ask Apple’s voice assistant Siri when Apple’s next event is, it has spilled the beans by answering that its next event is to be held on April 20. It further responds by suggesting that all the details about the upcoming event can be found on Apple.com. The company’s reliable voice assistant is providing the users with the same answer on various devices such as iPhone, iPad, HomePod and Mac. The company has further confirmed the upcoming event by listing it on its website where you can add it to your calendar. The company has also set out invitations for its April 20 event.

Recently, it was claimed that the Apple iPad Pro models could be announced at the Apple upcoming event. The new model of iPad Pro is expected to feature a mini-LED screen but that will be available on its top variant of the 12.9-inch model, the lower versions are tipped to come with an 11-inch LCD screen.  The Mini-LED display, which is tipped to come integrated into the upper-end models, is said to offer a better contrast ratio. The report also suggests that the shipping of the most premium model could be delayed due to few glitches in the production of the mini-LED display and would lead to a short initial supply. This means its shipping may commence a bit later.  Taiwan-based suppliers Ennostar, General Interface Solution, and Taiwan Surface Mounting Technology are the key supplier of the mini-LED technology out of which one supplier is said to be dealing with poor manufacturing. On the other hand rumours about the AirPods have also been doing the rounds, however, Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that the launch is not expected soon as it is tipped to happen in the third quarter of 2021.

In addition to this Google Photos will also bring more photo editing features which were available to Pixel devices and iOS devices.Animated GIF showing a phone with a video of a dog on the screen. The phone scrolls through granular edits to apply to the video. By using the video editing tool, the users can easily edit their video by using tools such as trimming, stabilizing and rotating their videos. It will also let you crop, change perspective, add filters, apply granular edits (including brightness, contrast, saturation and warmth) and more.  Google photos will now also offer over 30 controls, however, it won’t allow putting two clips together just like it offers in Apple’s iMovie video editor. The video editing tools will let you improve a poorly exposed video by adjusting the brightness to make your video shine. Each of the options will provide more adjustment to edit your videos.

Microsoft acquired Siri’s AI developer, Nuance, for $19.7 billion: The reason behind the move?

Microsoft has acquired Nuance Communications, Siri’s AI developer, in an all-cash deal priced at $19.7 billion. Nuance is an American multinational computer software technology company that provides AI-based programs to tech firms including Apple.

Why did Microsoft decide to acquire Nuance Communications?

Nuance Communications has been a significant provider of programs based on conversational AI including Apple’s Siri. However, this is not the sole reason that encouraged Microsoft to overtake the company. In fact, Microsoft’s interest in Nuance communications is related to health and clinical intelligence. Nuance is an important provider of health and clinical intelligence solutions throughout the world. The technologies offered by the company are as follows.
  • Documentation capture solutions
  • Clinical and revenue integrity and quality management solution
  • Patient engagement solutions
  • Optimization and consulting services
  • Diagnostic solutions
  • Care settings and specialities
Microsoft is already a giant firm working in the field of Artificial Intelligence. Microsoft’s Azure is a cloud computing service providing an AI platform. The Azure AI is extensively used by Data Scientists, Machine Learning Engineers, and App Developers across the globe. Having acquired Nuance, Microsoft will further stretch the horizon of AI capabilities and cloud computing in the health and clinical sector. This will help them get ahead of the competition by leads and bounds.

What are other acquisitions sought by Microsoft? 

Microsoft is not planning to get settled after having acquired Nuance Communications. The company is planning to take over Discord, an instant messaging and digital distribution platform, too. The acquisition of Discord is expected to surpass the value of $10 billion. Discord is widely used by the gaming community due to its low-latency communication. Discord enables gamers to chat during gameplay and watch live streams by their friends. Moreover, the users can conduct a meet session by sharing their screens. Discord’s acquisition shall help Xbox and Windows PC gamers enhance live streaming and communication among gamers.

What is the Nuance Communications acquisition deal worth? What will happen to the current employees?

Microsoft recently revealed that an acquisition deal will cost $56 per share. Although the deal was speculated to be priced at $16 billion, the final transaction cost will be more. Considering the net debt of Nuance Communications, the final all-cash transaction may reach a value of $19.7 billion. The acquisition process is expected to complete by the end of 2021. The current CEO of Nuance Communications, Mark Benjamin, will continue to remain in the role. Once the process is complete, Nuance’s acquisition will turn out to be the second-largest acquisition by the Microsoft Corporation. In 2016, Microsoft had bought Linked In for $24 billion making it the largest acquisition deal by the Microsoft Corporation.  There is no word on the employee reshuffle as of now.

Acer Gateway GAHR012 earbuds review: Ticks all the boxes

Since wireless earphones have become mainstream, very few people want to bother themselves with cables. Naturally, all the major technology companies have come up with their own wireless earbuds in the last few years, and you can also find the product in all price ranges. Recently, Acer launched its Gateway GAHR012 TWS earbuds in India at a price of Rs 3,499. If you have been considering buying these, check out our review of Acer Gateway GAHR012 earbuds:

Acer Gateway GAHR012 design

The design of Acer Gateway GAHR012 earbuds is one among its pros. The earbuds as well as their case are White in colour and have a very premium look and feel. The charging case of the earbuds is rectangular in shape but has rounded corners. On the front, there is a button and LED indicators, while on the back, information like the model number is mentioned in a very tiny font in Silver colour. The bottom has the USB Type-C charging port. Acer Gateway GAHR012 earbuds’ case has a magnetic closure, and obviously this is a good thing as it stops the earphones from falling out of the case. Coming to the earbuds, as we mentioned earlier, they are also White in colour. But they also have some Black coloured accents. Even the ‘R’ and ‘L’ written on the right and the left earbud respectively are Black. Besides this, there are three ear tips that the company has given in the box, so you can choose the one that fits you the best. Another good aspect of the earbuds is that they are very light in weight, and hence, you wouldn’t feel uncomfortable with them even if you wear them for hours at a stretch. Acer Gateway GAHR012 comes with IPX4 rating, which makes them water resistant. The earbuds also come with touch controls, so with a single tap on the earbuds (while they are in use) will play or pause the music or can answer incoming phone calls. Acer Gateway GAHR012 earbuds 3 Volume can be increased and decreased by pressing and holding the right and the left earbud respectively. Music tracks can also be changed by double-tapping on the earbuds. Double tap the left one to go on a previous track and double tap the right one for the next track. In a nutshell, we would say that Acer Gateway GAHR012 earbuds are comfortable to wear and premium in looks. We don’t have any complains as far as the design goes.

Acer Gateway GAHR012 performance

Before going on to the performance, we would talk about pairing the earbuds with a smartphone. It was fairly easy to pair the Acer Gateway GAHR012 earbuds to our device. The Bluetooth of the earbuds turns on the moment you take them out of the case. Then, you can just go to the Bluetooth section of your smartphone and look for ‘GAHR012’. Click on it to pair. However, if you want TWS enabled, then first pair the earbuds together and then pair them with your device. The connection between our smartphone and earbuds remained strong and clear at all times. After pairing the earbuds, even if our smartphone was kept in a different room, the performance wasn’t affected due to the range. Acer Gateway GAHR012 earbuds 2 The earbuds from Acer come with a 9mm audio driver and support a frequency range of 20Hz to 20KHz. The earbuds also have a latency of 220ms. The sound quality that Gateway GAHR012 earbuds produce is extremely good and the clarity of sound is maintained even at very high volumes. Noise cancellation is another aspect that the earbuds excelled in. Even when we used the earbuds at a rather busy airport, we weren’t disturbed much by the outside noise (besides the loud announcements, of course). Last but not the least, the quality of bass produced by the earbuds was really impressive. Coming to the battery life of the earbuds, they easily last around 4-5 hours on a single charge. Then, you can put them back again in the charging case, and they’ll be fully charged again in 1.5-2 hours. You can do this thrice before charging the case again.

Verdict

At a price of Rs 3,499, Acer Gateway GAHR012 TWS earbuds are a good buy. The earbuds are premium to look at and the performance is great too. The sound clarity is really good and the bass and noise cancellation are pros too. We faced a slight problem because of the touch controls of the earbuds because there were times when we inadvertently paused the music, but then, we’re sure with time users would get more accustomed to it. We see no reason to not recommend it. For the latest gadget and tech news, and gadget reviews, follow us on TwitterFacebook and Instagram.

Sony is planning to introduce PlayStation Now in India: Features and comparison with Xbox Game Pass

Sony Interactive Entertainment, a multinational video game and digital entertainment company, is planning to release PlayStation Now in India soon. The company had earlier decided to introduce the service in India in 2020. However, it could not be implemented due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

What Is PlayStation Now?

PlayStation Now is a subscription-based game streaming service developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It was initially released in limited in North America in 2014 and gradually reached other regions of the world. The platform offers more than 800 games and new games are added every month. The PlayStation Now comes with a 7-day free trial after the expiry of which you can subscribe to any of the three available pricing options. Regardless of the plan you choose, you get access to single-player as well as multiplayer modes without paying any additional fee for the online multiplayer component.

What is the benefit of PlayStation Now?

The PlayStation Now provides a platform to stream PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3 games to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.

PlayStation Now subscription plans

What is the difference between the PlayStation Now and the Xbox Game Pass?

The PlayStation Now and the Xbox Game Pass are quite similar as both are subscription-based services offering you a plethora of games. Although PlayStation Now was launched before the Xbox Game Pass, the latter has managed to gain much popularity among gamers due to its robust service and reach. The reason for the success of the Xbox Game Pass is its high-quality library and frequent addition of exclusive games. However, PlayStation is also working on the addition of powerful game titles, cost reduction and the introduction of downloads to complement the streaming component.
