iPhone 18e Won’t Get ProMotion Display, Says Leaker

iPhone 18e Won’t Get ProMotion Display, Says Leaker

Published by skeptic

Apple’s upcoming iPhone 18e will have the same display refresh rate as the existing iPhone 17e, according to a prominent Chinese leaker. Discussing Apple’s product plans for 2027 in a Weibo post, Digital Chat Station claimed that the next generation of Apple’s low-cost iPhone will feature the same 60Hz low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (LTPS) TFT panel as the current model. It means the device will lack the ProMotion 120Hz refresh rate and Always-On display technology that is expected to feature across the rest of the iPhone 18 lineup, similar to the iPhone 17 series. That’s despite the fact that you can find 120Hz screens on competing Android phones at similar price points as the iPhone 17e. The claim is substantiated by a report out of Korea earlier this year that said Apple would not use a low-temperature polycrystalline oxide (LTPO) panel until the fourth-generation model, which is expected to arrive in early 2028. Adoption of LPTO would make the display technically capable of dynamically adjusting its refresh rate between 1Hz and 120Hz. The shift in 2028 …

Art Directors Guild Claps Back at Martin Scorsese’s AI Tool Promotion

Art Directors Guild Claps Back at Martin Scorsese’s AI Tool Promotion

Published by Daniella Wilson

The Art Directors Guild is not happy with Martin Scorsese’s promotion of an AI tool for storyboarding. The Studio City-based crew union clapped back at the Killers of the Flower Moon director on Tuesday for a recent ad he filmed with startup Black Forest Labs. In the video spot, Scorsese — an advisor to the company — creates a storyboard featuring a medieval street with the use of the company’s FLUX technology and lauds the model’s display of “cinematic intelligence.” The ADG called this an example of the director “turning his back on the human artists who throughout his career have helped him create his most memorable works.” In its remarks, the labor group quoted a recent statement from Scorsese about his partnership with the AI company. “There’s always been this problem of how do you communicate what you see in your head to your cast and crew,” he said. “There are some things you have to see and feel. I’m interested in the intersection of technology and storytelling, and seeing how that can push the …

Lee Anderson issues Labour blistering warning after big promotion: ‘Smash to smithereens!’ | Politics | News

Published by Sam Flores

Reform MP Lee Anderson has issued Labour with a stark warning after being promoted to party chairman. The 59-year-old, who was the party’s first MP after joining when he was kicked out of the Conservative Party, takes over from David Bull. The Ashfield MP hailed his party’s recent local election results, in which it gained more than 1,600 seats, and plunged Labour into a full-blown leadership crisis. Speaking to the Daily Express, he said: “Today is a proud moment for me, I’m delighted to be the chairman of Reform UK and to take on this role at such an important moment for our country. Reform UK is giving a voice to millions of hardworking people who feel ignored by the political establishment, and I look forward to working alongside Nigel Farage and our dedicated team.” He pledged to “continue fighting for common-sense policies, secure borders, lower taxes and a government that puts the British people first”. But in a warning shot to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, he said he would also “do everything I …

Promotion Pays Off Old Phone Balance

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, The Hollywood Reporter may receive an affiliate commission. For many people, switching phone carriers isn’t a question of interest — it’s a question of follow-through. The research gets done, the options get compared and then it stalls out somewhere between timing, cost and what to do with the phone already in hand. That’s the space T-Mobile is addressing with its current offer, which brings together its 15-minute online switching process and its “Keep & Switch” program. The latter will give you up to $800 per line (max of 4 per account) to help pay off an eligible device when you switch to T-Mobile. Both offers have existed on their own, but together they tighten up the process in a way that feels more workable. You can start the switch online in 15 minutes, rather than carving out time for a store visit, and you don’t have to part with your current phone to do it. Instead, you keep using your …

GELSENKIRCHEN, Germany, May 2 : Schalke 04 battled past Fortuna Duesseldorf 1-0 on Saturday to secure promotion to the Bundesliga after a three-year absence. The Ruhr valley club, whose average attendance per match in the second division this season was more than 60,000 – bigger than most Bundesliga clubs – will return to top-flight football following their relegation in 2023. Tens of thousands of fans had marched from the city centre to the stadium earlier in the day, ready to celebrate the team’s imminent promotion, with club bosses urging spectators not to charge the pitch at the final whistle in the event of a win. The team did not let them down, with Schalke captain Kenan Karaman bagging the winner in the 15th minute for his 14th goal of the season, making sure of automatic promotion to the Bundesliga with two matches remaining. Fans lit flares and chanted in the stands on the final whistle but they stayed clear of the pitch, allowing players to soak in the celebrations. Schalke are now in top spot …

German regulator targets Capital Bra over alleged illegal gambling promotion case

Published by skeptic

Germany’s gambling regulator says it has intensified action against rapper Capital Bra after what it describes as repeated promotion of illegal online gambling across his social media accounts. The Joint Gambling Authority of the Länder, or GGL, said on Monday (April 20) that an ongoing case centers on videos and livestreams in which the artist allegedly showed himself using unauthorized gambling services while encouraging followers to engage with them.

HBO Max’s award-winning medical drama The Pitt is shuffling its pack ahead of Season 3 – with two key cast changes revealed.

Want a better job and a pay rise? Eleven ways to progress at work – and avoid a ‘dry promotion’ | Life and style

Published by Sam Flores

There is nothing worse than feeling stuck in a job. What are the best ways to progress without having to resort to shameless self-promotion? Here, career coaches explain how to make sure you are first in line for a promotion – and a pay rise. Position yourself as a winner “One of the major secrets to getting any sort of promotion is that you must sow the seeds early on and build up to the point where the promotion feels like the natural next step,” says John Brown, a career coach in Nottingham. “First, you have to nail the current job. Make sure you meet your deadlines, hit all your targets and fall firmly into the ‘delivering’ category. Be brave enough to push back if your targets are unachievable. Don’t set yourself up to fail by simply agreeing to everything.” Tessa Grint, a career coach based in Bangkok who describes herself as a “leadership architect”, agrees: “You need to become the leader before you get the promotion. A promotion is the reward and recognition of …

Employee Called Unambitious After Turning Down A Promotion

Employee Called Unambitious After Turning Down A Promotion

Published by Jenni Sidey

An employee questioned if he was being “lazy” and not jumping at a new opportunity at work after turning down a promotion his boss had offered him because of what it would entail. He couldn’t justify the extra work that would take him away from his family and outside life for such a small salary bump. Posting about his dilemma on Reddit, the senior analyst explained that he’s been with the company for three years and was recently offered a new position, but quickly turned it down when he realized just how grueling the role would be. Unfortunately, his boss didn’t appreciate the fact that he was prioritizing his life outside of work and called him “unambitious.” An employee was called ‘unambitious’ after turning down a promotion that would be 30% more work for only a 5% raise. “I make $68K, work pretty standard 40-45 hour weeks and honestly I’m good at my job. I have a life outside of work I coach my kid’s soccer team, I actually see my friends, I don’t check …
