The Magic Bridge merges your Apple Keyboard and Trackpad into one ‘super-keyboard’

The Magic Bridge merges your Apple Keyboard and Trackpad into one ‘super-keyboard’

Could it be a coincidence that the Magic Keyboard and Magic Trackpad are exactly the same height? They look, as Twelve South rightfully points out, like they were “separated at birth”, like two siblings longing for each other. The Magic Bridge fulfills that wish, uniting the two long-lost siblings and putting them side by side.

Melodrama aside. The Magic Bridge is a very clever device. It does much more than simply fix your trackpad to the keyboard. It helps to declutter your workspace, by “bridging” the space between your trackpad and keyboard, so that they aren’t cluttering your desk. You can also carry the devices around, place them on your coffee table or your lap, and then switch between Apple devices. Twelve South calls it the ultimate control station.

The Magic Bridge comes with a clever ambidextrous design that lets you mount your trackpad either side of your keyboard, depending on whether you’re right or left-handed. All you really have to do is slide the keyboard and trackpad into the Magic Bridge, and they fit in perfectly like jigsaw puzzle pieces, while the Magic Bridge’s anti-skid base ensures your control station doesn’t slip around while you work. The accessory itself is designed from polycarbonate, making it lightweight yet tough, and ensuring it works seamlessly with your Apple devices, without blocking any Bluetooth signals.

The Magic Bridge comes in black or white, and in two sizes that accommodate both the regular Magic Keyboard as well as the larger Magic Keyboard with the attached numpad. Each Magic Bridge sports cutouts on the back – handy for letting you access the switches on your keyboard or trackpad, or plug charging cables in without needing to remove your gadgets from their outer cover. If you do need to take out your trackpad or keyboard, the holes at the bottom allow you to slide your thumb into the Magic Bridge and pull your peripheral out.

Introducing Samsung’s Game-Changing DDR5 Solution

Introducing Samsung’s Game-Changing DDR5 Solution – Samsung Global Newsroom

The age of DDR5 has arrived. From 5G and artificial intelligence (AI) to metaverse and augmented reality (AR), high-performance computing is pushing the limits of server environments to process massive amounts of data at extremely high speeds. Understanding that tech giants the world over are set to add droves of servers to their data centers, Samsung Electronics has developed its DDR5 memory solutions to play a key role in empowering future-oriented industries to perform at their peak.

Future-First Memory Solutions for Data-Driven Innovation

With the development of their DDR5 solution, Samsung, a company known for changing the landscape of the global dynamic random access memory (DRAM) market, has introduced yet another generational shift in the IT industry. Furthermore, following the release earlier this year of CPUs that support DDR5, tremendous change is expected in the computing landscape, too, with growth expected to encompass gaming and mainstream PCs as well.

Compared to its predecessor which hit the market in 2013, DDR4, DDR5 DRAM boasts twice the speed and four times the capacity, at 4800Mpbs and 512GB respectively. 1 This next-generation high-performance memory allows networks to handle the soaring amounts of data generated by cloud computing, AI and autonomous driving systems. Unlike DDR4, DDR5 directly incorporates a power management integrated circuit (PMIC) into a dual in-line memory module (DIMM), resulting in a 30 percent increase in power efficiency on the module level and a more stable power supply.

Data centers are the main users of DDR5, since, in order to work at their full potential, they require low-power, high-performance memory as they consume large amounts of energy to perform operations and keep servers cool. Starting from the third quarter of this year, existing DRAMs for servers are set to steadily be replaced by DDR5, a shift that could help data centers stay cost-efficient and encourage sustainable, eco-friendly development.

Going beyond the performance limitations of existing DRAMs, DDR5 will be pivotal in leading data-driven innovation in terms of speed, capacity and eco-friendliness. In order to learn more about the new world DDR5 is helping to build, take a look at the video below.

1 These figures concern modules for servers.

Kingdom Hearts fans doxx Sora, find his real-world apartment in Tokyo

Kingdom Hearts fans doxx Sora, find his real-world apartment in Tokyo

Kingdom Hearts fans began picking apart the Kingdom Hearts 4 reveal trailer for clues with a fervor on Sunday, noticing details like the possible inclusion of a Star Wars world and Sora’s new choice of subtle footwear. The real-world apartment where Sora may be living is also located in Tokyo. Quadratum, the “afterworld” of the video game, can effectively recreate the Japanese city.

Based on some crowdsourced sleuthing by Tokyo-based Twitch streamer Audrey, aka aitaikimochi, a self-described “Square Enix fangirl,” Sora appears to have a swank pad in the Aoyoma neighborhood of Tokyo. Aoyoma, a fashionable and wealthy area of Tokyo, is where Sora rents. Audrey and her viewers dug up what appears to be the actual apartment used as a model for Sora’s new digs, and it costs just shy of $2,000 a month to rent — about $1 million if Sora wanted to buy.

How did Audrey and her viewers track down Sora’s location? By using landmarks shown in the Kingdom Hearts 4 trailer and Google Maps’ Street View, of course. The real-world apartment building they found is called the Regno Raffine, and it’s your typical condo-style building. Sora likely has a one- or two-bedroom apartment, but the real draw is the balcony and all the natural sunlight pouring into it. Photos of the building’s model unit provide the nicest peek at where Sora’s probably living post-Kingdom Hearts 3.

Residents of the building might not realize how close Square Enix has recreated their home. Kingdom Hearts fans, please don’t make this luxurious apartment building a pilgrimage spot. Sora is not real, and it’s unlike Donald Duck.

It can be also tilted up, down, left and right to create the ideal angle for the best viewing experience regardless of the location of the viewers. The screen can also be set to auto rotate using the remote control. This allows users to enjoy vertical mobile-style content.

When putting the screen in the middle of the room or placing it without the media console, the Studio Stand ensures a sleek, trendy look. Users can display artworks, photos or NFT artworks in a landscape or portrait orientation even when the TV is turned off so that their TV can also serve as a singular piece of art. The latest three-way MultiView also allows users to display various content such as live broadcasts, YouTube or online reviews, all at once.

At Unbox & Discover 2022, Samsung reiterated how the ever-evolving role of the screen is quickly transforming it into a tool to fulfill all kinds of functions, from ‘game console’ and ‘virtual playground’ to ‘the perfect partner to improve efficiency’ and a ‘Smart Hub to control one’s home’.

Elden Ring lore and story explained by an expert

Elden Ring lore and story explained by an expert

You’ve likely played a few dozen hours of Elden Ring by this point, but do you have any idea what it’s actually about? YouTube creator VaatiVidya’s newest video dives deep into the game’s lore, and at half-an-hour it’s pretty damn efficient at explaining the inner machinations of George R.R. Martin’s side hustle.

The video is also segmented neatly into multiple parts, so you can skip around if you’re specifically looking for information about the House of the Moon or the Night of the Black Knives. It’s great if you want a quick primer on the who, what, and where. Vaati shared an extensive flowchart on Twitter of his lore.

VaatiVidya’s channel is full of deep dives into other FromSoftware games like Dark Souls, Sekiro, and Bloodborne.

Elden Ring was released in late February. This fantasy action-RPG allows players to play at their own pace, and finish the game as they wish. The game features a Turtle Pope, as well as fearsome bosses or cool summons.
