Get Ready for Tesla Robotaxi: Here’s How To Watch
Reading Time: 2 minutes read

Tesla lovers prepare yourself for a bright spectacle. On Thursday, the manufacturer of electric vehicles will present the long-awaited Tesla Robotaxi at Warner Bros. Discovery studio in Burbank, California. Gates are at 5 PM PT with the main event starting at 7 PM PT.

Global Livestream of the Robotaxi Event

As usual, Tesla is going further, with the event to be live-streamed on YouTube and X. This will enable viewers worldwide to get involved in the event and see what new invention Tesla brought to the market. Elon Musk first hinted at the Robotaxi event in April and excitedly announced it at the top of the month. The reveal was set to occur on August 8th. However, it delayed it, claiming important front-end design changes.

The fact that Robotaxi is quite central at the launch event underlines the self-driving agenda for Tesla and margins other developments such as the $25000 electric car. Musk has been an advocate of self-driving and the FSD package is one of its major offerings. However, FSD still needs a human driver to be in control and take action when necessary owing to the name.

Musk’s Vision of Autonomous Robotaxis

Initially, Musk’s vision required cars on the road today to simply update from cars that needed drivers to robotaxis. This would allow owners to make some cash when they are not using the car to drive. Nonetheless, we are still not there with millions of robotaxis still waiting to be deployed on the roads. He also said that if required, Tesla might offer a dedicated fleet too.

Robotaxi

This reveal appears more like the car because of the Hollywood studio backdrop. Musk unveiled the Isovat hinting at a Robotaxi design that would not have a steering wheel or pedals. Some of the images below are from Elon Musk’s biography 2023, depicting a small two-door and two-seater looking like the Cybertruck.

Google Drive and Gmail Roll Out New Productivity Features
Reading Time: 2 minutes read

Google Drive has recently released new smart filters as features to the search tool. With the help of the new functional search, users can sort files by type or modification date right in the search line. This update on the Workspace Updates Blog where it said that these filters offer auto-suggestions as individuals type. For instance, typing “pdf.” or “doc” automatically sets filters to appear and therefore helps in sorting out the files quicker.

Enhanced Search Tool for Google Drive

Next to the search bar, which already offers Type, People, and Modified filters, these will be easy to find. Google says that those changes make it easier to search for files, though some may consider them confusing. Users may be asked from the list if they improve speed because some of the options were already stated before.

Google Drive search filters

The changes are being deployed progressively on a two-week rolling cycle that will conclude on the 22nd of October. Still, I see that Google Drive continues to innovate and ascend to the better user experience of its services. However, it should be noted that the practical applicability of these filters is highly subjective. Some may like having more choices, others may think that choice is unnecessary.

Gemini-Powered Smart Reply in Gmail

There are also new summary cards in addition to Drive updates. Such cards are displayed above the emails and give a brief on the packages, trips, or bills. These features have already been seen in Android, with iOS devices following this up closely, within weeks.

With these new changes, Google would like to solve the problem of task management while increasing efficiency. Smart Reply suggestions in emails powered by Gemini also show that Google wants to make the interactions easier for users. These changes are in line with Google’s attempts to change the direction of Drive and Gmail as products and services received from users.

Reading Time: 2 minutes read

The Apple MacBook Pro M4 unveiling was shown online, before it hit the market, through a YouTube video from Russia. Looking at the video it can be seen that there has been design continuity with changes that are slightly different than MacBook Pro M3.

First, the variant of MacBook Pro M4 they released this year now comes with the new Apple M4 chip. Initially seen only in the new iPad Pro. This M4 chip incorporates a 10-core CPU, providing as much as 25% improvement in performance over the M3 chip.

Further, the base model has increased RAM to 16GB from the previous 8GB. In response to criticism that the iPhone X’s 3GB RAM is insufficient for current computing.

These are for the support of Apple Intelligence enabling the MacBook to perform more tasks on the device itself. There are other enhancements in this regard. The availability of three Thunderbolt 4 ports instead of two Thunderbolt 3 ports in previous versions.

With this, the users can extend the connection to more devices in addition to benefiting from faster data transfer rates. The MacBook Pro M4 looks like its previous models, including the boxy frame and the Apple logo on the cover.

Apple is widely rumored to release the new MacBook, Mac Mini, and iPad Mini in early November. That is why the enhancements presented in the MacBook Pro M4, create a great opportunity for users who need a reliable and highly productive laptop.

Oppo Find X8 : What Makes It a Game-Changer in 2024?
Reading Time: 2 minutes read

The Oppo Find X8 series is set to become the latest flagship device for the Oppo manufacturing company. That’s why, it is easy to stumble upon the alleged design details of the standard model on the web, which reveal principal components.

This may be the work of BOE which is expected to be a 6.5-inch OLED 1.5K panel on the Find X8. This will probably have a sleek flat panel with thin frames in order to afford it an aura of modernity.

Oppo Find X8

The gadget could be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 9400 chip which has a high capacity. This is a not officially introduced processor and, as stated, it demonstrates good performance for those users who need it.

Cameras are also not lacking, with a 50MP tri(Camera) system. The Sony LYT-600 should include telephoto sensors for taking shots from far away. Also 3x optical zoom for quality pictures from distant areas.

Oppo Find X8

The Oppo Find X8 could be equipped with a 5,700mAh battery with 80W charging via the cable. And also equipped with 50W charging with the help of a magnetic connector. This setup seeks to ensure the users are charged fully and comfortably all day through readily accessible options.

For instance, the Find X8 may, or may not, sport a physical alert slider. I love it when there’s a flexibly assignable button, the idea of which could work like Apple’s Action Button is useful.

Still, now there is no schedule available, and comes officially for its release. However, the device has been spotted on certification sites and we might see it released around the world soon.
