The Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 are embroiled in an ongoing ITC situation, which briefly barred the devices from being sold in the United States.
This comes after the ITC ruled that the Apple Watch’s blood oxygen sensor infringes on two patents held by medical device company Masimo.
On Christmas Day, President Biden declined to veto the ITC’s decision, officially barring Apple from selling its flagship Apple Watch models via its retail stores or its online store. Apple’s appeal of the case, however, put the ban on hold for the time being. Here’s everything we know.
Two more stories have emerged this week, praising the Apple Watch’s ability to detect potentially life-saving health problems. This time around, both Apple Watch users sent an email to Apple CEO Tim Cook to thank him for the Apple Watch – and both received a response just a few hours later.
The iKier K1 Pro Max is a top-of-the-line laser engraver that will etch your creations into wood. Unfortunately, the machine is complicated to set up and the software let me down.
許多人會在 Word 裡插入圖片，讓版面可以更加豐富，常見會以文繞圖的方式，不管是文字在前、文字在後、穿透…等，在文與圖的搭配下，將文件內容呈現的更活潑。
許多人會在 Word 裡插入圖片，讓版面可以更加豐富，常見會以文繞圖的方式，不管是文字在前、文字在後、穿透…等，在文與圖的搭配下，將文件內容呈現的更活潑。
不過，還有一種在文件加入大量圖片的需求，是希望載入的圖片可以呈現固定的尺寸，而不用手動一張張調整大小，常見的呈現方式是伴隨表格出現，透過在 Word 裡的表格功能，可設定將圖片載入表格時，自動符合表格的寬度，如此不僅可以維持表格的美觀，在將圖片載入 Word 之前或之後，都不用一張張調整圖片尺寸。此外，如果覺得格線會影響美觀，也可以透過編輯的功能，將格線取消，讓版面可以更加乾淨。
目前並沒有對 AI PC 嚴格的定義，主要指的是具備可以執行生成式 AI 功能的電腦，都可以叫做AI PC。不過，目前我們在電腦上使用 ChatGPT 來生成文字、或是利用 Midjourney 來文生圖，都還是要透過雲端來透過大語言模型運算生成我們要的結果，但是 AI PC 的概念是，不要透過雲端，可以在本地端運行語言模型得到結果。
至於針對未來需求增加的 AI 運算需求部分，透過 Qualcomm Hexagon NPU，最高可提供45 TOP（每秒兆次運算）算力，支援在終端側運行超過 130 億參數的生成式 AI 模型，處理速度是競品的 4.5 倍，面向 70 億參數大模型時每秒可生成 30 個 token。據高通表示，這款行動運算 CPU 的性能是競品的兩倍，在達到相同峰值性能時，功耗僅為競品的三分之一。
高通預計搭載Snapdragon X Elite晶片的筆電將在2024年中期上市，首發廠商包括微軟、聯想、戴爾和惠普。高通也承認，Elite系列只是該公司計畫在未來幾年發佈的諸多版本之一，從而以不同的價位衝擊不同的PC細分市場，以便更好地與英特爾和AMD競爭。此外，高通也表示，Oryon不僅僅適用於Windows筆電，還將「在未來進入智慧型手機、汽車、XR 裝置等領域」。
AMD 2023年初發佈的 Ryzen 7040系列處理器，第一次為x86處理器加入了獨立的 NPU AI 引擎硬體單元，AMD提出了AMD Ryzen AI 引擎技術，可讓用戶在 AI PC上更易於使用個人運算的強大功能，為工作、共同作業和創新開啟全新等級的效率，使您能與周圍的世界保持更緊密的連結。
目前AMD Ryzen 7040 系列處理器以及下一代Ryzen 8040系列的處理器均支援AMD Ryzen AI 引擎技術。

Game Description
Empires and Tribes is a unique hybrid of a medieval city builder and a role-playing game.
You will undertake the duties of a mayor in the 13th century and manage the expansion of your city, ensure the production of resources, develop innovative technologies, negotiate new laws with the city council and raise a powerful army to protect yourself from rival principalities.
In Empires and Tribes you will find the classic game principles of a real-time strategy game combined with the possibilities of a role-playing game in first person perspective. In addition to city planning and economic decisions, you can expect political power struggles in the city council, an indecisive priest, a strike-hungry population, bandits, begging monks, thieves and four hostile principalities in the immediate vicinity.
Demonstrate leadership, economic and diplomatic talent to maintain your place in the challenging world of Empires and Tribes. Plan and expand your settlement wisely and with skill, and you will lead it from a small fishing village to a thriving hub of trade. Tap natural resources, create residential areas and build public buildings such as chapels and taverns to meet the growing needs of your inhabitants. Protect your settlement by building castles at strategically important points and expanding them with towers, gates, courtyards and various expansions. Recruit units and construct siege weapons to finally bring your opponents to their knees in tactically demanding sieges.
Game Features
3 population levels -peasants, craftsmen and townsmen- with different needs
Complex economic cycle with over 20 different goods and 35 different buildings, most of them upgradeable one to three levels
Large battles and sieges with more than one hundred units involved
6 different combat unit types such as swordsmen, archers, knights or trebuchets
Individual design and layout of castles and defensive fortifications with a variety of extension buildings
AI, which develops its city depending on the given conditions and attacks the player if necessary
Simulated daily routine of the NPC’s and 19 different professions for the city population
Simulated day-night cycle and variable weather
Disasters such as fires and lightning and events such as bandits, sale of indulgences or mendicant monks
Crafting of tools, weapons and all resources and trade goods used in the game
Skills system, equipment and inventory for the player
Earlier today, the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 ban was put on pause thanks to a US appeals court. In a new statement to 9to5Mac, Apple has confirmed that its flagship Apple Watch models are available today from retail stores and will return to Apple.com by tomorrow at 12 p.m. PT.
Between 2019 and December 2022, an extremely advanced iMessage vulnerability was in the wild that was eventually named “Operation Triangulation” by security researchers at Kasperksy who discovered it. Now, they’ve shared everything they know about the “most sophisticated attack chain” they’ve “ever seen.”
A few months ago, Apple prototype collector Kosutami shared the first images of a prototype HomePod with an LCD display on top. The images have since been corroborated as we heard from independent sources that the prototype is likely for an upcoming generation of the HomePod. Kosutami is now back with more images of the HomePod prototype with an LCD.
Seasonic introduces a suitable connector with the new 12V-2x6 connector standard with reinforcements soldered connections. The company is also running a contest in China for users to test this new cable with their own compatible SeaSonic PSU and Nvidia GPUs.
AMD's Power Management Controller drivers for SoC power management have received patches that support unreleased AMD processors, presumably Zen 5 CPUs, since they're slated for 2024.
Apple has won a temporary pause on the Apple Watch ban, thanks to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Apple has been unable to sell or import with blood oxygen sensors due to an ongoing patent infringement battle with Masimo.
