Since the turn of the century, the vinyl, which most thought was a dead audio format, has seen a surprising resurgence. Tens of millions of copies have sold across both sides of the Atlantic, bucking the trend that saw physical, tangible objects being replaced by digital formats.
Like we did for the venerable tape cassette a few weeks ago, we let our minds wonder and had a think about what a 2020 vinyl upgrade might look like.
It turns out there was indeed an update to the LP, the 12-inch version of the vinyl medium, but it was used for video, not audio. The Laserdisc was all the rage in South East Asia in the 1980’s and 1990’s, where the ability to access any track on a disc within seconds made it a favourite in thousands of Karaoke bars before the internet era.
The technology used in the Laserdisc was improved over two decades to give rise first to the DVD and then to the Blu-ray.
The Laserdisc's official successor, the Archival Disc, was first announced in 2013. However, it is used primarily - as the name implies - for data archiving purposes (popular in cloud storage setups as cold storage).
A single disc can store 300GB, with triple layer Blu-ray discs reaching 200GB. The data is recorded on both sides for both media and the Archival Disc roadmap introduces 500GB and 1TB models in a near future.
They are stored in cases (known as magazines) to mitigate the risk of physical damage (scratches etc.), similar to floppy discs (or ZIP/Syquest).
Laserdisc updated to 2020
Even using the technology of a 200GB Blu-ray disc, a dual-sided 2020 version of the vinyl would be a formidable rival to other archival media. A Blu-Ray disc has a diameter of 4.7 inches, while a Laserdisc is 12 inches in diameter. Without accounting for the non-usable areas (near the edge and in the middle), the “laservinyl” offers a far larger real estate, by about 6x.
So here you have it, if someone (Panasonic, Sony, Verbatim or Hitachi) decided to take a punt and create a 2020 version of the Laserdisc, complete with a portable turntable/record players/mange disque, the media would have a capacity of about 1.2TB - and up to a staggering 6TB if they used the latest technology deployed on the Archival Disc.
That is still a far cry from the 100TB SSD(the world’s biggest solid state drive) or the forthcoming 20TB hard disk drive, but it is likely that the cost of production would be far cheaper.
A wardrobe-sized cabinet with 200 or so discs would be able to store 1.2PB of data. Plus, optical discs are a contactless media, impervious to magnetic fields and have a lifetime of about 100 years when stored safely.

It is a thin and light laptop which will take on the Mi NoteBook 14 here in India. The major difference comes with the SoC. The Honor MagicBook 15 is powered by AMD Ryzen 5 3500 CPU coupled with Vega 8 graphics. You get 8GB of DDR4 dual-channel RAM and 256GB of SSD. Port options onboard include a Type-C port, HDMI, USB 2.0, and a USB 3.0.
One of the unique features of the laptop is the camera. The MagicBook 15 comes with a pop-up HD camera which is placed under the keyboard and comes out only when in use. You get a 15.6-inch FullView Full HD display with 16:9 aspect ratio with 5.3mm thin bezels on all the sides. On the battery front, there is a 65Whr battery with quick charge support for a quick charge which can charge up to 53% in just 35 minutes. It charges via Type-C port. On a single charge, the laptop is claimed last up to 6.6 hours.
For security, there is a fingerprint scanner that’s integrated with the power button. Other features include Magic link 2.0 which makes sharing between laptop and phones seamless(only select Honor devices). To keep the thermals under check, there is an S-shaped fan under the hood. The laptop weighs 1.53Kgs and is thick at 16.9mm.
Xiaomi’s Mi Band series has been India’s go-to budget fitness trackers for the past few years. The Mi Band 4 is soon expected to get a successor with the Mi Band 5, which is already available in China. However, along with the fitness tracker, the company is also expected to bring a new smartwatch this time.
According to a report from 91mobiles, the Mi Band 5 and Mi Watch Revolve smartwatch are expected to land on Indian shores soon. The Mi Band 5 will be the successor to the Mi Band 4 budget fitness tracker and the Mi Watch Revolve will be the company’s first smartwatch in the country.
The Mi Watch Revolve is renamed Xiaomi Mi Watch Color for markets outside of China. It features a circular 1.39-inch AMOLED screen with two crowns for navigating. It comes with a heart-rate monitor, GPS, sleep tracker, and connects via Bluetooth 5.0. It is also water-resistant up to 5ATM and offers up to 14 days of battery life on a single with the in-built 420mAh battery. It runs on Xiaomi’s own software and not Google’s Wear OS. In China its priced at CNY 800 (~Rs 8,521 ).
The Mi Band 5, on the other hand, is more affordable and is priced at CNY 189 (~Rs 2,000). It features a 1.1-inch AMOLED screen, 6-axis sensor, and offers up to 14 days battery. The Mi Band 5 comes with a magnetic charger which is one of the major upgrades in the Mi Band lineup. Apart from that, there is 11 sports mode, 24x7 heart rate monitor, 5ATM water resistance. It also comes with NFC and Xiao AIvoice assistant. However, that feature might be limited to China.
There is no timeline or launch date from Xiaomi regarding these two wearable devices yet. However, mid-September is usually the time when Xiaomi generally announces a bunch of new devices at the annual Mi Smarter Living event. We can expect the launch of the two wearables in the mid-September as well.
The Redmi 9 which is the fifth device in the Redmi 9 series will go on sale in India today. The device will be available on Amazon and Mi.com.
This is the first sale of the device since it was launched in India last week. This is Xiaomi’s first device in India to run on MIUI 12 out of the box. The device will be available in two variants. The 4+64GB variant is priced at Rs 8,999 and the 4+128GB variant is priced at Rs 9,999. It will go on sale at 12 noon via Amazon.
It packs in a 6.53-inch HD+ display with a resolution of 1,600 x 720 pixels and a dot-drop notch. The display is certified by TUV Rheinland for low Blue light and has a max brightness of 400 nits. On the inside, the handset is powered by Mediatek’s Helio G35 SoC which is an octa-core chipset clocked at 2.3GHz. It comes with 4GB of RAM and up to 128GB internal storage. There is also a dedicated microSD card slot which supports memory expansion up to 512GB.
The Redmi 9 comes with MediaTek’s HyperEngine technology which is said to enhance the gaming experience. On to the camera department, the Redmi 9 features a dual-camera setup with a bunch of AI shooting modes. You are looking at a 13MP primary camera tagged along with a secondary 2MP depth sensor along with LED flash. To the front, there is a 5MP selfie camera with AI selfie mode. The camera app comes with a new UI on the device with support for portrait mode and pro mode.
Furthermore, to the phone up and running, the device is packed with a 5,000mAh battery. However, it misses out on fast charging and you will have to settle with 10W charging via micro USB port. This is also Xiaomi’s first phone India to run on the latest MIUI 12 skin which is based on Android 10.
Other features include a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, Bluetooth 5.0, Dual SIM 4G LTE, VoLTE, Vo-WiFi, 3.5mm audio jack, water-resistant P2i rating.
Notches and selfie cameras continue to be the last hurdle on the way to truly full-screen displays. While we’ve seen numerous creative workarounds for them, in the future, they would be concealed under the display itself. With its new breakthrough, Xiaomi is hoping to jump on to this bandwagon, and do it fast.
Xiaomi today shared its success in creating a display which can perfectly disguise the front camera under the screen, creating a truly full-screen form factor without any obtrusions. When implemented, smartphones will be able to offer the usual selfie experience without the need for a notch, punch-hole or moving mechanisms. The company also confirmed that the mass production of phones with this tech will begin next year. Even though a specific timeline wasn’t mentioned, we expect it to debut on a premium product first.
We’re proud to present the latest masterpiece from our Xiaomi engineers: 3rd Generation Under-Display Camera Technology! True full-screen displays are just around the corner! We're planning on putting this into mass production next year. Stay tuned! #InnovationForEveryone pic.twitter.com/DrKeL8wZUgAugust 28, 2020
Xiaomi aims to bring this technology to the mass market next year.
Xiaomi also shared some background information on how the third-generation under-display camera technology was developed. The first implementation was silently worked on and wasn’t showcased to the public. The second model was showcased as a working prototype a year ago, but it wasn’t perfect and had light transmission issues.
That has been addressed with the new development via a self-developed pixel arrangement which allows light to pass through the gap between sub-pixels, allowing individual pixels to retain the complete RGB layout. This was achieved by increasing the horizontal and vertical pixel density of the area above the camera sensor, so as to maintain visual parity with the rest of the display. The circuitry for the module was also redesigned to hide the components under the sub-pixels and further increase light transmission to the camera. It is being supplied by TCL’s Huaxing subsidiary.
A similar implementation was also referred to in a recent patent by Xiaomi which showed a smartphone where a part of the display would become transparent when the front camera is activated, returning to a normal display at other times.
If that seems like a long wait, the ZTE Axon 20 launching next week will be the first smartphone with a functional under-display camera to become available for purchase. We can expect more manufacturers to unveil their hidden selfie camera solutions in the future, with wider availability next year.
Redmi 9 is set to go on sale in India today. The latest Redmi phone that was launched in the country last week will be available for purchase for the first time through Amazon and Mi.com at 12pm (noon).
Neuralink, Elon Musk’s neurotechnology startup that is developing interfaces to connect human minds to computers, held a big event yesterday to announce what progress they had made over the last one year.
For the uninitiated, Neuralink aims to help people with severe neurological disabilities via devices that can be implanted in the brain. Neurons, which are the basic working units of the nervous system, transmit signals to other parts of the body. All of that information exchange happens over minuscule electrical signals. With the Neuralink device in place, patients should be able to regain or improve upon the effects of neurological injuries. Since every action in the human mind and body works over the same electrical impulse principle, theoretically, it can be used to achieve a lot more things. All of our senses are basically signals sent by the brain, and are thus, alterable.
Using external readers to record neural activities is not a new concept. It is currently being used for medical purposes to achieve the aforementioned results. However, in its current state, the implementations are bulky, need constant expert attention and can function over 100 channels per array. As inconvenient as that may sound, it has proven to be successful. Current implants are done as a part of a Deep Brain Stimulation surgery which can zap your brain with currents to correct certain disorders. However, it can have unwanted effects as limits to how much can be ascertained.
In a lot of ways, it’s like a Fitbit in your skull with tiny wires.
That is the space Neuralink hopes to redefine. Last year, the device was about the size of a hearing aid that would sit behind your ear and would have wires extending to the head. The newer version, which was shown off at the event, is about the size of a coin that sits flush within the head.
Intrigued? Confused? Here are the biggest announcements and takeaways from Neuralink’s Progress Update, Summer 2020.
Event objective
Right off the bat, Musk made it clear that the purpose of the event was not to raise money or look for investors. It was to solely show how much progress Nueralink had made and share that with the world, in order to attract talent to join the team and help the product reach the market faster.
Through the event, multiple references to hiring were also made, ranging from engineers and developers to surgeons and animal handlers — “basically everything that a company would need to run”. He further urged people who had experience in shipped electronics, be it smartphones or wearables, to consider this opportunity. “No prior brain experience needed”, he chimed in.
The company currently employs around a hundred people and hopes to have a strength of around 10,000 in the future. “There’s a super-linear relationship between the number of people at Neuralink and the number of neurons we can interact with”, added Musk.
How do the implants work?

A lot of people would be scared at the prospect of having machines drilled into their head. Through the event, these fears and doubts were addressed in a way to make it digestible to common people.
The latest iteration of the Neuralink device is the size of a coin that replaces a part of the top-most cortical layer of the skull. The entire procedure is said to take less than an hour with no need for intensive care afterwards. The surgery will be done by robots for extreme accuracy, resulting in a safer and painless procedure. Patients will also not have to be administered general anaesthesia to perform the implantation.
The device has wires which will be inserted into various areas around the device to read and write information. Eventually, it will be controlled via a smartphone app.
What is the need for this?
(Image credit: Neuralink)
If you’ve followed Musk, you’ll know how important expanding human capabilities is for him. With age, many people fall prey to brain and spinal cord problems, which hampers their abilities. With Neuralink, these people can get a second lease at life. Since all senses are just electrical signals, if you can correct them you can theoretically fix them.
The current list includes the following neurological disorders: memory loss, hearing loss, blindness, paralysis, depression, insomnia, extreme pain, seizures, anxiety addiction, strokes, brain damage. It can also monitor the vital signs of a person even if it is not directly related to the brain, such as a heart attack.
Another application that was suggested was the ability to communicate without explicit speech. Musk considers words to be a very lossy format of transfer of data, and only those who know how to use it well excel at communicating. With the ability to share thoughts and ideas without needing to convert them to words and back will improve the way humans communicate. From a more practical standpoint, it can be used by people with motor impairments who can not talk or even type but need to “say” something.
Moreover, in the future, Neuralink also aims to achieve symbiosis with artificial intelligence, helping mankind unlock more capabilities which had been unfathomable till now. With technology being a bigger part of our lives each day, creating new and intuitive ways to interact with them becomes essential.
How is Neuralink better than the existing tech?
(Image credit: Neuralink)
For any new technology that hopes to become mainstream one day, it has to be better or cheaper than the existing options. At the event, Musk took us through all the strides made in the device that puts it ahead of the competition.
Link v0.9 is the latest iteration of the Neuralink device, is the size of a coin, significantly smaller than the competition. This makes it more discreet as well as user friendly. In fact, the device won’t even be visible once implanted. Steps were also taken to ensure that it doesn’t come with implications that would lead users to not be able to live a regular life. The devices are designed to be able to withstand stress at levels similar to or better than the existing skull.
While it is currently limited to the cortex (responsible for movement, sight, touch, speech, etc.), they do plan on eventually going to the deeper parts of the brain such as the hypothalamus to access more actions.
How close is it to reality?
(Image credit: Neuralink)
The event also saw the first public working demonstration of the Neuralink in action. Currently, the device is being tested on pigs owing to a similar skull structure and level of intellect. They also have a big part of their brain dedicated to olfactory senses to crunch the information coming from the snout.
Three pigs were present — one with no implant, one which had an implant but was now removed and one which had the implant for two months. The objective was to showcase how indistinguishable users at different stages would be. The last, named Gertrude, was let to sniff around her pan while the device recorded signals from the area of her brain linked to the snout. The readings were represented as an array of thousands of dots which would light up each time a neural spike was detected. It served as a proof of concept that the device can read and translate the data into actionable information.
Another experiment included a pig walking on a treadmill, where a wireless neural network would predict the position of the joints from the readings from the neurons. When compared with the actual positions of the limbs, the inferences had very high accuracy.
Similarly, two-photon microscopy footage of the brain was also shown when information was written in the brain. When the implanted electrodes were fired, the surrounding neuron bodies would light up in response. This will have to be successfully achieved at different power levels as some areas of the brains can be more difficult to activate.
Are the implants removable?
(Image credit: Neuralink)
All Link implants will be surgically removable if a user decides to no longer participate. It is claimed to have no permanent side-effects except a small scar at the designated area.
Beyond reversibility, it also has a much bigger role in the future of Neuralink. When the state of technology improves, users should be able to upgrade to newer versions of the device to gain access to more features and abilities (Think of it as a smartphone).
Will it be able to summon a Tesla?
(Image credit: BGR)
All Teslas (Elon Musk’s other company) have autonomous driving capabilities. A simple action on your phone app can get it to arrive at your doorstep, ready to pick you. During the Q&A session, one user asked on Twitter if Neuralink will be able to do the same without the need of a phone.
Showing his excitement, Musk answered: “Summoning a Tesla via Neuralink? Yes, 100%, that’s easy!”
How good is the current Neuralink device?
(Image credit: Neuralink)
Specifications and abilities of the current system were also shared. Stated to be 100 times better than the other offerings, the current Link v0.9 has a whopping 1,024 channels that can read and write simultaneously at very high bandwidths. Currently, the data is read, converted and compressed on the device itself, but that could later be offloaded to the phone if the throughputs increase. Other sensors include a 6-axis IMU, temperature sensor and pressure monitors.
The coin-like part has a diameter of 23mm and a thickness of 8mm, helping it sit flush with the skull. The “wires” are the tricky bit. They need to be thin and malleable enough to not cause any damage to the brain, yet strong enough to survive in that corrosive environment; anything too thin and it could lose integrity and inductivity over time. Right now, the electrodes are about 5 microns in thickness (20 times thinner than human hair). With advancements and material research, it is estimated to go down to sub-micron levels.
It will be invisible and not externally visible. “In fact, I could have a Neuralink right now and you wouldn’t know. Maybe I do!”, giggled Musk.
When publicly available, all the features will be accessible via a phone app. It will have a range of 5-10 metres and will function over Bluetooth Low Energy. The battery life is rated as “all day”, and will have to be charged each night wirelessly (over induction).
What are some of the other use cases of Neuralink?
(Image credit: Neuralink)
With a device that can seemingly expand the capabilities of the human mind, it potentially has a ton of non-medical applications. Elon’s vision includes achieving “symbiosis with artificial intelligence”, allowing humans to exponentially increase their knowledge base and skill set and using it for progress. Imagine being able to download hard skills at the click of a button!
Having an AI extension of yourself, like a tertiary layer over the limbic system and the cortex such that the future of the world is controlled by the combined will of the people of Earth; I think that that’s obviously gonna be the future that we want.
Towards the end of the keynote, the entire core team shared their individual moonshot abilities that would one day be unlocked via Neuralink (we implore you to watch it). Some of the notable ideas included using it as an added form of input for gaming; newer forms of communication and helping humans in more ways possible. For instance, if a person loses their eyesight due to non-neurological reasons, they could be fitted with a camera whose feed can act as vision.
Artists would no longer be restricted by their abilities of tangible portrayal as entire scenes could be projected wirelessly into someone else’s minds; With the advent of IoT and connected devices, users could also interact with other tech in their surroundings without needing to move; Memories could be saved and recalled at will, thus also letting people take control of their moods and emotions; Human sufferings such as pain can be done away with entirely; understanding what the conscience actually is; preventing diseases before they happen from chemical clues in the body; etc.
The path ahead
(Image credit: Neuralink)
Neuralink is yet to begin trials on humans. It has however been granted Breakthrough Device status by the FDA, who will be working closely through the development and provide feedback. The first human implantations will happen “soon”, once the device clears the pending approvals and crosses safety standards. The first clinical trials will be conducted on patients with severe spinal cord injuries.
Considering the extremely sensitive nature of the information that will be dealt with, everything will be encrypted and stored in a way that human intervention will not be possible. As it progresses, it is likely to be governed by further laws and regulations.
Apart from these, there’s also the technological aspect of bringing this product to the market. It will be extremely expensive at launch but is targeting “a few thousand dollars” eventually. Neuralink’s mission of creating a generalized brain device that is reliable and affordable might just change the path of humanity’s future.
Moto G9 will be available for purchase through its first sale in India today at 12pm (noon) through Flipkart. The new Motorola smartphone debuted in the country last week.
We're coming into September – the time of year that GoPro usually reveals its next action camera. And the leaks and rumors have already begun to fly about the GoPro Hero 9 Black.
In July, a leaked image of a GoPro camera's front panel was revealed on Reddit, showing off a large square cutout that could indicate the ninth generation GoPro may come with a front display similar to that of the DJI Osmo Action. That has now seemingly been confirmed by what appear to be leaked official product shots of the upcoming GoPro Hero 9.
German publication Winfuture – with a rather impressive track record of reliable leaks – has shown off what they claim to be "official" product images of the upcoming action camera, with several of them showing off color displays on the front and back.
(Image credit: Roland Quandt/WinFuture)
There's no indication of whether that upgraded front display will be used for video previews or for displaying shooting parameters (like the current monochrome front display on the GoPro Hero 8 Black), but this change is one way for GoPro to attract more customers.
Other than the larger color front screen, the rest of the GoPro Hero 9 seems to be identical to the Hero 8 Black. So what more could GoPro do to attract and keep its customers?
(Image credit: Roland Quandt/WinFuture)
Winfuture claims there's 5K video support coming to the Hero 9 "in the future", as per some "documents" the publication has laid its hands on. There's no other concrete evidence to support this, so we'd suggest taking this news with a pinch of salt. No other technical details about the camera have been revealed as yet.
We also still have no idea how much the camera will cost or when it will start shipping, but if GoPro sticks to its usual timetable of a September reveal, we'll know everything soon enough.
