The Snapdragon X Plus and Snapdragon X Elite have been announced for a little while now, and to make the process of applications play nice with these chipsets a little easier, Qualcomm has introduced its Snapdragon Dev Kit, which is specifically made for developers. The San Diego firm’s developer hardware is outfitted with its latest and greatest silicon, with all the innards packed inside a portable enclosure that measures just eight inches. Naturally, the Dev Kit is equipped with other impressive specifications to make the app development process faster, as you will soon find out. The Snapdragon Dev Kit is priced […]
SpaceX's Starship rocket will launch in June, according to its head of Starbase operations, Kathy Leuders. Leuders shared the latest updates for the Starship program earlier this week in Texas, soon after which SpaceX stacked the ship on the booster at the launch tower in Starbase. Starship's fourth test flight comes right as SpaceX demolishes a ship test pad close to the launch pad, in what appears to be an attempt to fully utilize the hardware rich aspect of its rocket development program. According to Leuders, SpaceX is yet to receive the FAA's launch license for Starship IFT-4, and the […]
In the wake of the massive geomagnetic storm that stunned global observers, a SpaceX executive shared on X earlier today that the batch of Starlink direct to cell satellites launched just before the storm are now raising their orbits. The latest launch came immediately after a Falcon 9 rocket sent another batch of these satellites to space, and after SpaceX shared that all satellites in orbit had managed to survive the storm. The direct to cell (D2C) satellites have been launched with T-Mobile as part of Starlink and the carrier's partnership to make cellular coverage available in far flung and […]
After SpaceX shipped its IFT-4 booster to the launch pad and static fired a new Starship for the first time earlier this week, Elon Musk has confirmed the fourth Starship test flight's delay on X. After the previous Starship test took place in March, SpaceX was quick to give a launch date, which would have meant a rapid drop in the turnaround time for the world's largest rocket since IFT-2 flew after a considerable delay. IFT-2 was followed by the third test four months later, and a May launch would have cut this time in half. Starship IFT-4 Can Take […]
After the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) warned the public yesterday that one of the severest geomagnetic storms in the past two decades would start manifesting itself in the form of an aurora over the northern region of the United States last night, Elon Musk confirmed that SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet constellation was facing the heat as well. Starlink, made of thousands of small satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) has battled such storms before, but according to Musk, this appears to be one of the strongest such crises that the network has faced. SpaceX Faces The Heat From […]
With rapid Falcon 9 launches and Starship development in Texas taking place in the background, SpaceX shared fresh details for its upcoming record-setting private astronaut mission under the Polaris program yesterday. The Polaris Dawn mission, which is a four-crew complement led by billionaire Jared Issacman, is currently due to fly to space in the summer, and Isaacman, along with SpaceX representatives, shared details of the flight and mission profile during a chat on social media yesterday. At the event, SpaceX's Ana Menon outlined that her firm aims to test human performance for Mars missions as part of a journey that […]
The Kirin 9000S launch last year, followed by the Kirin 9010 that powers Huawei’s newest Pura 70 series, has helped the company reach a new high as far as smartphone chipset shipments and revenue go. The latest data reveals that the former Chinese giant’s HiSilicon division, which is responsible for mass producing Kirin SoCs, shipped 8 million units in the first quarter of 2024 and generated $6 billion in revenue. However, compared to the competition, Huawei has a long road ahead of it as it slowly takes back its lost market share. MediaTek holds first place for the highest smartphone chipset […]
When the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S launched, it took some live service games a while to release official next-gen updates, with some games relying on backward compatibility for a while. Crytek’s Hunt: Showdown has held out longer than most, as the game is still technically only playable via backward compatibility on current-gen consoles, but that’s finally going to change this summer. According to Crytek, they’re going to be upgrading Hunt: Showdown to Cryengine 5.11 and releasing official PS5 and Xbox Series X/S updates in August. The flip side, is that support for Xbox One and PS4 is coming to […]
