OnePlus 10 Pro design officially revealed with ceramic camera island

The first look of the OnePlus 10 Pro has officially been revealed ahead of its launch on January 11 in China. OnePlus has revealed the OnePlus 10 Pro in two colours: Volcanic Black and Forest Emerald while CEO Pete Lau has detailed the design separately in a blog post over on OnePlus forums. OnePlus 10 and OnePlus 10 Pro are set to launch on January 11 in China and a global launch will be held after a few months.

The highlighting part of the design of the OnePlus 10 Pro is the camera island which is made from mirrored ceramic. While the design of the camera module itself may have left the fanbase divided, ceramic is, without a doubt a very premium material. The ceramic element also has the Hasselblad logo embedded which reflects light. OnePlus claims that the fracture toughness of ceramic is 13 times that of glass which makes it more durable in the long run.

OnePlus 10 Pro is also confirmed to have three cameras alongside a flash unit. The phone uses a metal frame that effectively merges the ceramic camera module and glass panel on the back.

Apple Products 2022 launch details reveal new Mac Pro, iPhone SE2, and VR headset

Apple is working towards launching a barrage of new products including a brand new Mac Pro, iMac Pro, and a Mac Mini. We will also see the updated MacBook Air and Pro models launching this year. The launch tips come straight from Mark Gurman’s Newsletter. In it, the Bloomberg author describes various highlights of the upcoming Apple products that fans can expect.

On the handheld devices side, Apple will more than likely launch the iPhone SE 3 in March 2022 and the new iPad Pro model with wireless charging sometime later this year. Speculations among other experts also suggest that the new iPhone SE 3 could also launch with a side-mounted fingerprint and could essentially become the first notch-less iPhone as well. 

Apple is rumoured to be working on a scaled-down version of Mac Pro with 40 CPU cores and 128 GPU cores. Apple will more than likely also update the iMac Pro with a larger screen and update the Mac Mini with powerful internals as well. Considering the huge success of the Apple Watch Series 7, the Cupertino giant will launch three brand new smartwatches - a rugged smartwatch, an Apple Watch Series 8, and an Apple Watch SE this year. 

Just like last year, Apple will also launch the iPhone 14 with no notch and possibly without a lighting port, if rumours from other sources are to be believed. Lastly, Apple could officially enter into the Virtual Reality genre by unveiling its first-ever VR headset, Codenamed N301.

Top NASA scientist says that we could terraform Mars using a magnetic shield

Sometimes we tend to forget that we live in an amazing time. Apart from the pandemic and all, but even then, the explosion of technology, ideas and commerce has led to a world where a lot seems possible. It’s one of the few keys to progress, the drive to explore and discover. Well, according to Top retired NASA scientist, Jim Green, we could even begin terraforming planets like Mars and even Venus. As the director of Nasa’s planetary science division. Green has been at the agency since 1980. In fact, he was even one of the people that came up with a scientific proposal on how we could verify and detect alien life. 

Terraforming Mars? Use a magnetic shield says NASA scientist

In a recent interview with the New York Times, Green proposed that we could currently even terraform a dead planet like Mars. He talks about using a magnetic shield to prevent the sun from stripping away the ozone layer of the planet, bathing it in radiation. A magnetic shield would shield the planet and allow it to trap more heat and slowly begin to develop a climate that is habitable to humans. It’s not as simple as it sounds and requires a massive undertaking, but realistically, it could be done, according to Greene. He even goes as far as to say that we could conceivably terraform Venus as well by using the same magnetic shield method. 

This may sound like science-fiction but do remember that we shot billionaires into space just a few months ago. Sending a team to Mars is tough but that could realistically happen in our lifetimes, the way things are progressing. Green is also keen on exploring the Jupiterian moon, Europa. Many researchers have theorized that Europa could be the one place in our solar system where we find life, other than Earth. The moon is said to contain a large amount of water that is located miles beneath the satellite's icy surface. Who knows what the future hold, but it does look like we’ll find out, sooner or later.

With 2022 underway, Krafton has a couple of announcements for PUBG: New State players that should get them quite hyped. In a post on its official website, the developer not only teased the addition of a new map, but gave away an in-game crate as part of its new year celebrations.

PUBG: New State - New map incoming

Krafton has not yet revealed details of the upcoming map, nor the name. However, it did note that the new map will launch sometime in mid-2022. The developers did release some teaser images. Judging by those images, it looks like the new map will feature a mix of urban and rural areas. There also seems to be a mix of mountains and other rock formations, which should add more strategic thought to the game.

PUBG: New State - Free coupon code

As a part of a “surprise gift,” Krafton is also giving away a coupon code. This code can be used to redeem six Chicken Medals and three Royale Chest Tickets. It should be noted that the code is only valid till January 10, 23:59 UTC. 

In order to redeem the code, users will have to click here. Then they have to use the code, HAPPYNEWSTATE along with their account ID. The account ID can be accessed via the Settings option in the game. 

The new free code comes just a couple of weeks after Krafton offered one as a “token of gratitude” for the delayed update. To recall, the game was supposed to be updated quite a while back, but a delay in the App Store review meant that the update could not be pushed out. The code is for the Winter Carnival crate and can be redeemed by any PUBG: New State player.
