even on this the first day after the christmas weekend we went in search of
tech news because i know there are some crumbs out there to bring to you
somewhere around here
if you're wondering what to do with a transparent OLED panel don't worry
because lg has some ideas their subround
lg display announced some concepts they will be showing at ces that use their
55-inch 1080p OLED panels with 40
transparency the most interesting applications for transparent oleds
appear to be in retail lg's shopping management showcase places retail items
behind the transparent screen which can play animations to highlight the
products similarly their show window concept uses four panels as a sort of
advanced store window decal for window shopping in the future these make sense
and versions of them can already be found in luxury stores around the world
but stranger still is their concept for homes dubbed the lg shelf this concept
features two panels above one another suspended under a shelf with some space
in between it and the wall it appears that you can mount it in front of a
piece of wall art and perhaps when you get sick of that you can cover it with
digital art like the nft you just bought with the always on display mode
obviously you might want to use this as a tv or something so the lg shelf also
features a motorized roller blind of opaque material that comes down to
improve image quality i want to make fun of it but i am the
one person here who has been banging on about tv as furniture so
this is what i get isn't it yup the transistor doesn't have to be dumb
anymore researchers at the vienna institute of technology have developed
an adaptive transistor design that can change its configuration on the fly
using germanium yes that is an element to create an additional programming gate
across the transistor the researchers claim that processors using this
technology could use 85 percent less transistors compared to current
approaches this means more efficient computing and therefore more scalable
processors going forward this discovery could lead to a pretty big change the
way we think about computer processor progress and perhaps correct the slowing
of our honorable moore's law we must all become faster
faster it's not dead it's not dead
yet the dutch are putting the hammer down on
apple's in-app payment system for dating apps the netherlands authority for
consumers and markets or acm ordered on
christmas eve that apple must allow dating app developers to use alternate
payment systems or point users to payments outside of the app if the
company fails to do so by january 15th it faces a 5 million euro fine up to
only 50 million euros apple of course is appealing the
decision saying in a statement to the verge that it has the right under the eu
and dutch law to charge developers of these apps a fee for all the services
and technologies apple provides them if you're wondering why it's only dating
apps i don't know acm started their investigation in 2019
and included a complaint from match group i'd like to think that it's because the
investigators are all single and therefore would like to pay less for the
dating apps you all got swiped laughing the object swipe left on

the iphone might be without a sim card tray as soon as next year the device has
supported the nascent e-sim technology for a number of years now but according
to mac rumors the company has advised us carriers to prepare for the launch of an
e-sim only smartphone in september 2022
a tipster shared with them a seemingly legitimate document though without
specific mention to apple and the iphone so i'm guessing it just says guys it's e
sim time now what are they going to get rid of next the lightning port
no no no parts
it must be impenetrable also with apple they have poached facebook
meta's ar pr lead andrea schubert
revealed in his bloomberg power on newsletter mark german wrote meta with
oculus has been the market leader in headsets so such a higher makes sense as
apple nears its launch rumors over apple's ar headset
development has been swirling for years so this hire appears to show that apple
is still taking the project seriously how such a device will work in the real
world is still a question mark for me
what are we going to do with it i don't know the metaverse the medic will bring
the metaverse into the real world and nothing will mean anything anymore
