Last Note (mplusplus)

mplusplus Co., Ltd. has just released this promotion movie ‘Last Note’. This is to showcase our new product ‘Robotic Choreographer’, jointly developed with MUSCLE Corp. It is the world’s first robot arm exclusively for dance performance. As you see you can present highly innovative performance with using the Robotic Choreographer. The dancer Chi$ato’s sophisticated and emotional performance along with the Robotic Choreographer is exactly what mplusplus is pursuing for the future. The dance was created by an internationally renowned choreographer Ueno Chihiro. The song ‘Last Note’ was composed by SunaoSystem from mplusplus and K-over, a vocalist from City Your City. The electronic sound and lyrical voice further boost this futuristic performance.

Pokémon Go PvP battles teased by Niantic

It looks like one of the most anticipated Pokémon Go features is finally on its way. In a series of tweets, developer Niantic teased player-versus-player battles. It’s a feature the developer has promised for some time, and it’s an integral part of the traditional Pokémon experience. In fact, battles were part of the initial pitch when Pokémon Go was first announced back in 2015. But, much like trading, battles took longer than anticipated to actually implement in the game. Unfortunately, right now, we don’t know anything about how the feature will work, but Niantic does say that trainer battles will be coming “soon.”

The new supercomputer behind the US nuclear arsenal

“Sierra” was just crowned the second-most powerful supercomputer on the planet. And while most of its peers use their power for climate simulations, astrophysics, and other civilian work, Sierra is purpose-built for an entirely different mission: nuclear weapons. We took a tour of this massive system, and found out why the US builds supercomputers to support its nuclear arsenal.

Office, too? Microsoft pulls Office patches

Nintendo Switch firmware update 6.2.0 released, allegedly changes key generation mechanism

Nintendo dropped firmware update 6.2.0 for its Switch console. As often, the only official changelog states this update improves stability.
On the scene side, however, Word on the street is that this update breaks Custom Firmware compatibility, for all known CFWs. (That is, of course, for people who are running a CFW and choose to update, a very strange move in my book but who am I to judge.)

Niantic updates Ingress to Ingress Prime, and fans aren't happy

Now, the biggest change with this update is that it contains an entirely new user interface. The graphics are indeed more flashy, but that also means the game uses more data and battery power to render them. It also doesn't help that many find the new UI confusing and extremely laggy to navigate.
