Google has ended support for yet another of its products. Chromecast first generation will no longer receive updates
Google has ended support for another of its products. Updates for the first generation Chromecast Media Adapter will no longer be available.
The device came out 10 years ago, so here we are, of course, primarily about security updates. It’s entirely possible to use a Chromecast without them, although Google warns that users may experience performance degradation, and it’s not clear why.
The last update for this media adapter came out in November, but it was the only update in three years.

Is everything new – well forgotten old? The latest SoC Qualcomm Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 turns out to be renamed Snapdragon 6 Gen 1

About a week ago, Qualcomm introduced the Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 single-chip system, and even then we noted that the platform turned out to be strange: it turned out to be slower even than the Snapdragon 7 Gen 1. Now the situation has become a little clearer: Qualcomm went along the beaten path more expensive than MediaTek and simply renamed one SoC to another . To be fair, we note that the matter was not limited to just renaming: the new single-chip system received an increase in CPU frequencies of 150-200 MHz.
The table clearly shows that Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 is a slightly overclocked Snapdragon 6 Gen 1: the frequency of the ARM Cortex-A55 cores increased by 150 MHz, the ARM Cortex A78 cores increased by 200 MHz. And that is all. There are no other differences between these single-chip systems: Qualcomm didn’t even change the modem. Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 scores about 30 thousand more points in AnTuTu, but this is precisely due to the increase in frequencies.
Let us remind you that the first serial smartphone based on Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 was Redmi Note 13 Pro.

The Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 tablet computer appeared in the Geekbench benchmark database ahead of its official premiere tomorrow. The device runs AOSP 12, which is how HarmonyOS 4.0 is defined.
The RAM capacity is 12 GB; the hardware platform is Kirin 9000s. That is, in terms of hardware platform components, the tablet is unified with Huawei Mate 60 Pro.
According to preliminary data, Huawei MatePad Pro 13.2 will receive five versions, and the version with 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of flash memory is the basic one. At the top of the range will be the 16 GB/1 TB version with a built-in LTE modem, as well as a stylus and keyboard included.

Hyundai Tucson 2024 appeared on the road for the first time

Hyundai cannot be stopped: the company releases new products one after another. The next one should be the updated Tucson crossover. The car is already being tested on public roads in Europe.
The car is tightly wrapped in camouflage – the company does not want to “shine” innovations in the exterior ahead of time. However, we can say that both the front and rear parts will change. At the front, there will likely be new headlights and a new grille design. There may also be some innovations in the design of the front panel. Interestingly, they are testing the Tucson with a trailer, and quite a heavy one, judging by the number of axles.
It is difficult to say whether there will be any innovations in terms of units. Most likely, if any changes occur, they will be minor ones – like new engine control firmware. The current Tuscon is offered with both internal combustion engines and hybrid versions – conventional and plug-in hybrid. All these options will remain in the updated car.
