Twitter has been working on some really interesting features, which will be added to the microblogging sites in the future. We have already heard a lot about the premium subscription plan that the company is working on and might provide the subscribers with a lot of premium features. Another feature that has been found to be a part of the platform in the future is the brief description of trending topics. The feature will be able to help users know about the trending hashtags and topics on Twitter, which will help to spread any kind of misinformation about the topic. 

The description for the topics will be developed by the Twitter curation team and follow guidelines. The description of trends will be available on twitter.com and Twitter for iOS and Android. The description will be very helpful for the users to understand why a hashtag or a topic is trending on the platform so that the right reason behind it is known. It will have a straightforward and soured context, which has been verified and only then provided to the readers. The feature has been activated by the company and will be available on some of the trending topics for now. 

Slowly and steadily the feature will be used across the platform. The company will be using a combination of algorithms to understand the topics which are trending and the curation team will determine if a Tweet represents a trend by evaluating if the Tweet is very reflective of the trend and popular.

The leader in the graphic industry, Nvidia, announced a new series of powerful gaming chips yesterday. The series is GeForce RTX 3090, 3080, and 3070 chipsets, which has been designed using the new memory tech from Micron, being manufactured by Samsung. Nvidia is claiming that the new series of graphics cards will provide twice the performance and twice the power efficiency over the previous generation of graphics cards. It’s not the first time Nvidia has been relying on chip manufacturers. Before Samsung that they are currently relying on, the company used to work with Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing for its most advanced chips. 

Now Samsung will make all the new GeForce chips for Nvidia, using their 8nm chip-making process, which might not be the latest from Samsung, as they have already been working on their latest 5nm chipsets. However, Nvidia claims that they have given certain requirements to Samsung which will make their 8nm chips 10% faster than the 8nm chips Samsung is using. The new chipset will also be using Micron memory technology, also called the GDDR6X which can double the data that can be processed by an Nvidia chip. 

The new Graphic card has undoubtedly crossed the previous benchmarks of Nvidia Graphic card and will definitely be a major upgrade for users. The new series can be used in all kinds of devices and will have much better performance and would also increase the realism of graphics expected in the game. Apart from that, the company will also be using its popular AI-based technology to improve on graphics.

During Pandemic, many companies rolled out apps on both iOS and Android that helped people to trace any contact nearby, which has been tested positive for CoronaVirus. Similar functionality was also offered by both Google and Apple in the past as well. These apps use GPS and Bluetooth to figure out if anyone close by is tested positive or having similar symptoms. In such cases, the app will either tell you to quarantine yourself or will help you with the details of the nearest testing station, where you can get tested for the virus. These apps have helped people by tracking a lot of cases around them and making them aware of their surroundings and the precautions they should take.

However, the only problem with the feature is that you need to install the app on your phone, and without it, there is no way of tracking people around you with the virus. Now Apple has made an announcement that they will be providing an update that would help use contact tracing without an app that will roll out to iPhones. The update will be rolled out globally on Tuesday after which the feature would not require the users to install any specific app. 

Google has also announced that a similar feature will also be added to Android smartphones in a limited manner in the coming months. The apps will still remain active in places where it is required by the public health agencies and departments for tracking, but they will also be able to use the feature without the app after the update. The feature is called Exposure Notifications Express, which will also be available in the coming months on Android. The feature does not require any installation, but Android users will be prompted to install a public health app generated by Google with the information provided by local health authorities
