The joint service, announced before this week’s event, fills a gap with HPE GreenLake’s database services, while providing Nutanix a partner that goes the last mile in delivering the company’s software-defined Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS), Era. The Era service will run on HPE ProLiant servers and delivered as a service through HPE GreenLake. At first glance, it might appear that HPE and Nutanix offer similar capabilities. Both offer software-defined as-a-service platforms sharing similar roots with hyperconverged systems and virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI)....

The new Dongguang facility is amongst seven transparency centres Huawei operates worldwide, including in Belgium, Germany, Canada, and the UK, where its first was launched in 2010. These sites have hosted 700 customer exchange over the past decade. According to Huawei, the centres offer a platform on which its products and software can be tested and security verified by customers and governments. The facilities provide technical documents, testing tools and environments, as well as technical support....

There is only one size for each watch edition; the Titanium has a 46.6 mm body, and the Ceramic has a smaller 42.9 mm. Choosing between the two is not as simple as size preference, though. The higher-grade Ceramic watch sells for £429.99, compared to the Titanium version, which costs £299.99. Both watches can be preordered today. That said, while Huawei will not be selling the watches in the US, I’ve been testing both variants of the GT 3 Pro....

Although I have been impressed with the AI’s advanced skills and its human-like conversation capabilities, I have had a couple of recurring issues. After getting early access to the updated version of Microsoft’s new Bing chatbot, which is powered by the same tech behind ChatGPT, I think this tool might be the answer to all of my ChatGPT prayers. OpenAI’s ChatGPT has proven to be proficient in writing stories, essays, emails, lists, code, songs, and more....

While the influencer is open about using TikTok’s beauty filter, she admitted her secret to glowing, top-tier videos is actually the $36 Newmowa 60 LED clip-on phone light. Unsurprisingly, the light, now known as the “Alix Earle light,” has been sold out for months. Last week, however, I was finally able to get my hands on it to see if it’s truly worth the hype. I have to say, despite the millions of TikTok reviews of users praising the light, I still had low expectations....

I have a habit of doing this in all the wrong places, but I tried to divert my worse instincts when I heard Apple had a new “Why Mac?” page. I think I know why I choose to use MacBooks – and why I can barely make my wife’s Dell Latitude do much at all – but I wondered what Apple’s logicians were saying these days. I also wondered whether Microsoft, which has caught up in so many ways when it comes to marketing and communications, would now match Apple in selling me a PC....

In a way, that puts focus on those that do take the first leap, braving the halls of bezel-less TVs, concept cars that will never be anything more, and other flashy vaporware, with new handsets to replace our current ones. That’s exactly what Motorola (owned by Lenovo) is doing this CES. Also: CES 2023 tech you can actually buy now My ZDNET colleague Charles McLellan did a fantastic job covering Lenovo’s onslaught of new laptops and PCs this week, so I spent most of my time going hands-on with the Motorola ThinkPhone, which the company is pushing as the premiere smartphone for businesses....

Next in line to carry the torch is the Insta360 X3, the successor to last year’s One X2. Insta360 says it’s doing away with the ‘One’ branding now which, in a market full of complicated names like GoPro Hero 11 Black and DJI Osmo Action 3, is a very welcome change. While the X3’s naming scheme has gotten smaller, everything else with this year’s model is all about being bigger....

The HX lineup consists of a pair of Core i9s, a trio of i7s, and a pair of i5 chips, all of which have base power of 55 watts and maximum turbo power of 157 watts. Intel said the design of the lineup is based on its desktop Alder Lake chips, and optimised for laptops. The gaming-focused i9-12900HX has eight performance and eight efficient cores, 30MB of L3 cache, and a base p-core frequency of 2....

When the Aurora supercomputer comes online in 2023, it’s expected to be the first supercomputer to exceed two exaflops of peak double-precision compute performance. It will also be the first system to showcase the power of pairing Max Series GPUs and CPUs together – the supercomputer will house more than 10,000 blades, each containing six Max Series GPUs and two Xeon Max CPUs. While the Max Series will make a splashy debut at Argonne, the product family is really designed to bring HPC and AI to a broader market, Intel said....

The first Apprenticeship Pathway Program saw 11 women take part in a six-month software development program where they learned specific tech skills, received mentorship from developers within Intuit and supported each other as they transitioned into a new field. The program was built to help those without programming experience. It was tailored specifically toward those who may have a general interest in tech but have not previously worked in tech-focused roles before....

The company said that its next-generation 32 qubit system will be available on Google Cloud later this year. IonQ is the first third-party quantum computer available on Google Cloud’s marketplace. A buyer’s guide to quantum as a service: Qubits for hire For IonQ, the Google Cloud availability means its quantum systems will be available on all three hyperscale cloud providers. IonQ, which is planning to become publicly traded via a special purpose acquisition company deal, is already available on AWS and Microsoft Azure....

Since its release in 2011, this dystopian series has shaped our imagination about the not-so-near future. From virtual reality that gets a little bit too real to the horror of artificial intelligence and memory implants, Black Mirror is often eerily realistic. More than a decade after its first season, the show is more relevant than ever. In this blog post, I’m looking at Black Mirror’s “Nosedive” episode, which makes us confront the power of social media and the risks of (social) credit systems....

But there are a few clues and preventative actions you can take to ensure your identity doesn’t get stolen in your job search....

Such is the case with KaOS 2022.06, which takes the KDE desktop environment and gives it an out-of-the-box twist to give it just enough unique flavor, without adding an extra layer of complexity for users. Before I get into this subtle twist, let’s find out what exactly KaOS 2022.06 is. Essentially, KaOS is an open-source operating system that uses the KDE desktop environment to create a user-friendly Linux distribution that anyone can use....

You want an all-in-one e-reader and writing tablet Many people, myself included, love to both read and write and would prefer to carry around one tablet instead of two separate devices. The Kindle Scribe promises the integration of a Kindle e-reader and a writing tablet with note-taking capabilities. The note-taking tablet will offer organizational tools that allow you to take notes inside the ebooks and organize them....

“[Prime Minister Scott] Morrison needs to be clear about what the federal government is paying for, how much it is paying, when it will be delivered, and who will own the capability,” Shadow Minister for Multicultural Affairs Andrew Giles said. “This project is already six months late – the contract was supposed to be awarded and successful provider announced in March 2021,” he claimed. The DPD is a digital vaccination declaration for people who are travelling to and from Australia that was announced by Home Affairs Minister Karen Andrews yesterday afternoon....

Crypto.com is just one week out from a devastating hack that saw more than $31 million stolen from about 500 users. The company faced significant backlash from its users over how it responded to the incident. But on Friday, the LeBron James Family Foundation (LJFF) said it would be working with Crypto.com to provide students and families connected to the I PROMISE program with “access to the tools and educational resources needed to participate and succeed in building Web3....
