AR Glasses Will Replace Your Phone

Facebook parent company Meta has announced a pair of battery-powered glasses that use futuristic holograms to overlay digital content — like WhatsApp chats, a web browser and a calculator — on your surroundings.

Unlike rival gadgets, like the Apple Vision Pro, which uses advanced cameras and high-resolution screens to show a live feed of the world around you, the new Meta glasses enable you to still see the world around you.

The Orion specs were the result of breakthrough inventions in virtually every field of modern computing and come packed with entirely new technologies around display and computer chips in order to run the same experiences currently found in headsets on a pair of glasses not much bulkier than many standard frames.

These spectacles can be controlled using voice commands, eye movements, and hand gestures tracked by a small bracelet. Orion wearers can play virtual games — single and multiplayer with another person with the specs, reply to WhatsApp chats, follow recipes, and check calendar appointments without the need to pull your smartphone from your pocket.

According to astronomer Jonathan McDowell, there are currently 6,426 Starlink satellites orbiting the Earth, of which 6,371 are operational. However, considering the rate at which SpaceX is launching the spacecraft, that figure will soon need revising upwards. The last set of 20 was launched on September 25, and the next batch is expected to go into orbit on October 2.

But while Starlink's numbers are impressive, there is competition in the satellite broadband marketplace.

US Justice Department Probes Super Micro Computer

The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating Super Micro Computer, the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, nearly a month after short-seller Hindenburg Research alleged "accounting manipulation" at the AI server maker.

The prosecutor has asked for information that appeared to be connected to a former employee who accused the company of accounting violations, the report added.

Super Micro had late last month delayed filing its annual report, citing a need to assess "its internal controls over financial reporting," a day after Hindenburg disclosed a short position and made claims of "accounting manipulation".

China’s Tech Stimulus Package

Chinese tech stocks, including beaten-down names like Alibaba, rallied this week, hitting highs not seen in more than a year after China’s central bank announced measures to stimulate the world’s second-largest economy.

The People’s Bank of China this week announced a cut to the amount of cash that banks need to have on hand. The central bank outlined plans to further support the struggling property market, including extending measures for two years and cutting the interest rates on existing mortgages.

These measures have been declared in the hope of boosting the Chinese economy. Prior to the cuts, investors had been cautious on Chinese tech stocks like Alibaba and Meituan which are sensitive to the economy and consumers in China.
