The International Space Agency “NASA” announced the discovery of the “mini-Neptune” planet, which was monitored by the “James Webb” space telescope outside the solar system, pointing to the possibility that the extremely hot planet had vast water bodies, as its atmosphere is characterized by massive saturation with water vapor.

A study conducted by researchers from the University of Maryland, USA, and published by the scientific journal “Nature”, stated that astronomers call the discovered planet GJ 1214 b, and it is completely covered with a kind of fog or layer of clouds, indicating that it contained large amounts of water and ice at the time of its formation.

NASA added that the research team was able to create a heat map of the planet as it orbits its star to reveal the composition of its atmosphere, using the MIRI instrument that displays wavelengths of light outside the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that the human eye can see.

At present, almost all traditional computer manufacturers are trying new laptops that combine touch screens and traditional keyboards, and Apple is no exception. According to the latest list published by the United States Trademark and Patent Office (USPTO), Apple has applied for a MacBook with touch. From the description of the patent, this Laptop uses a touch screen, and supports tactile feedback in the palm rest area and the position of the touchpad.

This means that users can operate by touching the screen, such as scrolling, sliding and dragging, etc., can be easily realized, which greatly improves the user experience, and the operation method is more intuitive and convenient. Of course, another highlight of this Laptop is the tactile feedback in the palm rest area and the position of the touchpad. When the user touches the device, it will give some more realistic physical feedback, so that the user can feel his own operation, thereby improving the fluency of the overall operation.

This patent has undoubtedly attracted widespread attention, because this is a major new attempt by Apple in the field of Laptop. Apple has been officially opposed to the integration of touch elements in the MacBook, but this does not prevent the company from applying for related technical patents. It is not clear whether Apple will launch a touch MacBook in the future.

Apple believes that current electronic devices such as laptops, tablets, and smartphones usually use different methods to notify users of different events that occur. This includes playing sounds, providing haptic output such as vibration, showing visual notifications, and more. Haptic output can be provided by actuators using vibration motors or oscillating motors. Moreover, the traditional vibrating motor has a large volume and occupies a large space.

In order to solve this problem, Apple hopes to install small-scale touch modules in areas such as the screen substrate, touchpad, and palm rest to achieve flexible touch.

The wait for the new expansion of the Ring of Elden has always kept us in suspense, on the lookout for anything that might look like an announcement of its release. Although we haven’t heard anything more since its announcement, today we can speculate thanks to the always reliable trading presentations.

And yes, as usual this month, thanks to all the companies that come together in March to make the appropriate business presentations and generate financial reports in which they project their activities until March 2024, we have been able to discover new data on Form Software. According to reports from Bandai Namco, it seems that the Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree DLC is not planned for this year.

Business strategy, Elden Ring DLC ​​pushed back to 2024

According to this report, the intent behind the release of this content expansion, which has been in the works for a year now, appears to be to maximize profits by using the Elden Ring name as leverage. That seems logical, because overshadowing Armored Core VI sales with an expansion to one of the most beloved games of the past decade might be a blow to the company.

On the other hand, From Software will have more time to create and polish this DLC, which will hopefully expand the game’s story and give us new missions as a “prequel”.

For now, we know that Elden Ring continues to break sales records as From Software prepares to release Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon on August 25, 2023.
