YouTube Music rolls out 2021 Recap feature to rival Spotify Wrapped


YouTube Music rolls out 2021 Recap feature to rival Spotify Wrapped

Spotify Wrapped season is admittedly a lonely time of year for people like me who use other music streaming services like YouTube Music. While everyone else is sharing fun stats about their top artists and songs of the year, I can't help but feel a slight sense of envy. I like to console myself by saying, "Hey, you already know your number one artist is Taylor Swift and that the most listened to song is probably the 10-minute version of All Too Well." But it's still not the same as being able to share listening habits no one asked about on every social platform.

Our time has finally come, though. YouTube Music on Monday launched a feature called 2021 Recap, which shows users their top artists, songs, music videos and playlists from this year. 

The Recap landing page appears on the YouTube Music app, where users can scroll to see personalized stats. You'll also see your recent music discoveries and have the option to listen to your favorite picks of the year in a personalized playlist. And yes, you'll be able to share that playlist and those stats by tapping the arrow at the bottom of the stats card.

In previous years, YouTube Music has rolled out a Year in Review playlist highlighting users' most-streamed songs and artists, but it wasn't available to everyone. This year, the company has also created playlists featuring the year's overall biggest hits and the top tracks from genres including rock, country, hip-hop and Latin. 

Last week, YouTube shared its list of the top 10 music videos of the year, which includes The Weeknd's Save Your Tears and Olivia Rodrigo's Drivers License.

So, fellow YouTube Music fans, now's your chance to bombard other people's social media feeds for once. That is, if you dare to admit to using anything other than Spotify. (Being different is cool, right?)

Apple, AMD launch Mac Pro GPU modules for RX 6000 Pro series


Apple, AMD launch Mac Pro GPU modules for RX 6000 Pro series

As of Tuesday, Apple has begun to replace the top-end Vega 2 Pro MPX Module GPU options with the newer-generation RDNA2-based Radeon Pro RX W6000X series for Mac Pros, which now lets you configure a system with up to four GPUs. Existing customers will still be able to buy Radeon Pro Vega 2 and Radeon Pro Vega 2 Duo modules, and new configuration options still include the creaky Radeon Pro 580X and the last-gen W5000X Pro series.

The RX 6800 and 6900 architectures are optimized for working with high-resolution assets and promise a solid speed boost for the Mac Pro in real-time rendering, interactive 3D responsiveness, video editing and more. Apple says there's a performance bump of up to 84% in Octane X, up to a 26% higher frame rate in 3D interaction in Cinema 4D and up to 23% speedier performance in DaVinci Resolve. Presumably, those are increases over the old Pro Vega 2 modules, and make sense given the generational speed increases we typically see in GPUs.

The modules are based around a similar (but not identical) GPU to the W6000 Pro series designed for PCs and have the same basic silicon -- the same 80 or 60 compute units (with 64 stream cores each), 128GB Infinity cache per GPU, same 256-bit memory interface and so on. They also use the same veteran Infinity Fabric that bypasses the PCI bus for GPU-to-GPU communication, a big deal for the Duo, and have substantial on-chip cache, which is necessary for managing the bulkier data associated with pro creative workflows. 

Radeon Pro 6000 series module specs


AMD Radeon Pro W6900X AMD Radeon Pro W6800X AMD Radeon Pro W6800X Duo
Compute units 80 60 120 (total)
Stream processors 5,120 3,840 7,680 (total)
Memory interface 256-bit 256-bit 256-bit (per GPU)
FP32 TFLOPS Up to 22 Up to 16 Up to 30.2
Infinity cache 128MB 128MB 256MB (total)
Total graphics power 300W 300W 400W
GDDR6 memory 32GB 32GB 64GB (total)
Price $5,600 for single, $11,600 for duo $2,400 $5,200 for Duo, $9,600 for dual Duos

They've got twice the memory of the consumer products, though, which makes a big performance difference. It also accounts for a chunk of the high price: GDDR6 is expensive and likely to get more so thanks to ongoing chip shortages. (Apple says its systems are "assembled in the US," though that doesn't insulate it from component shortages.) Plus the special sauce Apple mixes in. But they cost the same as the modules they replace, so no price shocks there.

The modules still include four Thunderbolt 3 ports and an HDMI 2 connection from the GPU. The latter is odd, since you'd have expected Apple to switch to HDMI 2.1, especially since other cards using the GPU already support it.

Kia starts 2023 Sportage production in Georgia


Kia starts 2023 Sportage production in Georgia

Kia is kicking off production of the 2023 Sportage at its factory in West Point, Georgia, the company announced Tuesday. This is the same facility that manufactures the totally awesome Telluride, the Sorento and the K5 sedan.

The 2023 Sportage received several updates over its outgoing model, including growing in nearly every direction. The vehicle is a whopping 7.1 inches longer than the 2022 model, with 3.4 of those inches coming from an extended wheelbase.

The new Sportage is powered by a 2.5-liter, four-cylinder engine producing around 187 horsepower, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, though there's a hybrid version on the way. Inside, there's a rotary dial to select gears on the aforementioned transmission and a curved instrument and infotainment screen. It's a big bump up over the old model, just in terms of being interesting.

The first Sportage is a Jungle Green X-Pro model driven off the line by Georgia's governor, Brian Kemp, and Kia Georgia Vice President of Production James Watson.

"The Sportage is yet another great product built in Georgia," Kemp said, "and its launch here in West Point is a proud moment for our state."

Look for the 2023 Sportage in US dealers soon.

Samsung Galaxy Watch 4's Long-Awaited Google Assistant Update Is Here


Samsung Galaxy Watch 4's Long-Awaited Google Assistant Update Is Here

The Galaxy Watch 4 debuted the new Wear OS codeveloped by Samsung and Google last year, but the Google Assistant was nowhere to be found. That changes Monday, as the Galaxy Watch 4 is now getting access to the Google Assistant through the Google Play Store.

The update will allow the Google Assistant to live alongside Samsung's Bixby assistant. The Google Assistant's absence was considered a major omission when the watch launched. In my colleague Scott Stein's Galaxy Watch 4 review, he noted the Google Assistant's absence and other tweaks gave the watch a distinctly Samsung feel even though it developed the software in partnership with Google.

The Assistant's arrival on the Galaxy Watch 4 comes after Google announced that its own Pixel Watch will be launching later this year. Even though Google's Pixel Watch may compete with Samsung's Galaxy Watch 4 on the hardware side, the Wear OS operating system will continue to be developed by both companies. 

This newer version of Wear OS is also expected to arrive to watches from Fossil, TicWatch and other smartwatch-makers later in 2022.

'Right to repair' legislation heading to California


'Right to repair' legislation heading to California

Californians may soon have more options for getting their electronic devices repaired beyond sending them back to the manufacturer.

Assemblywoman Susan Talamantes Eggman, a Democrat from Stockton, said Wednesday she plans to introduce legislation that would require manufacturers of electronics to make repair information, diagnostic tools and service parts available to device owners and independent repair shops.

"The Right to Repair Act will provide consumers with the freedom to have their electronic products and appliances fixed by a repair shop or service provider of their choice, a practice that was taken for granted a generation ago but is now becoming increasingly rare in a world of planned obsolescence," Eggman said in a statement.

Several states have introduced similar legislation in recent years to ease the process of repairing broken electronics. But many tech giants have opposed such efforts. To protect against intellectual property theft, they have created rigid rules that forbid fiddling with hardware or software.

Proponents say right to repair laws would benefit consumers and the environment alike by ensuring devices last longer, thus reducing electronic waste.

The high cost of manufacturer-based repair services often force people to prematurely replace devices such phones, TVs and other appliances, she said. The legislation will encourage a more efficient use of the scarce materials but also support local economies, she said.

With the legislation, California will become the 18th state to introduce a "right to repair" bill.

Apple Watch Fitness Tracking Is Good Enough for Olympic Athletes


Apple Watch Fitness Tracking Is Good Enough for Olympic Athletes

Smartwatches can be stylish accessories, and new features are slowly transforming them into smartphones we carry on our wrists. But what they're really good at is cold, hard data. 

The millions of people who use them for everyday fitness tracking know this, but a three-mile jog isn't the half of it. The fitness tracking capabilities of Apple Watch are good enough that even elite athletes say they rely on it.

Australia's Olympic swimming team utilizes both Apple Watch and iPad to fine-tune their training, according to a profile Apple did on Swimming Australia. Australia's swimming team, the Dolphins, is among the best in the world. It won 21 medals in the 2020 Olympics, including nine golds. It came second only to the US. (And one of the Dolphin's coaches briefly went viral for his incredible celebrations.)

Apple Watch has supported swimmer tracking since 2016's Series 2. Updated models, like the most recent Series 7, can not only count laps and lap pace, but also auto-detect stroke types. The ability to track data is one thing, but being able to do it precisely enough for Olympic athletes is another.

"Being able to accurately measure my heart rate in between sets has been a really valuable data point for me and my coach to understand how well I'm responding to training," Zac Stubblety-Cook, who won a gold medal in 200 meter breaststroke at the Tokyo Olympics, said in a statement via Apple.

"Data is the key ingredient when it comes to designing performance outcomes for athletes," said Swimming Australia performance solutions manager Jess Corones. "We have seen increased engagement from athletes wearing Apple Watch, which gives us more data points to inform analysis and make coaching decisions."

Apple isn't the only tech giant Swimming Australia has turned to in pursuit of optimizing the performance of its elite athletes. The Olympic team partnered with Amazon in 2019 to utilize machine learning. The collaboration saw Swimming Australia dump all of its data on its athletes -- and competitors -- into a data lake, which informed performance and training strategies for the 2020 Olympics.

The iPad was also lauded as a helpful tool for Swimming Australia's Olympians, though the Locker app the team uses to analyze race and training footage is only available for "nationally accredited swimming coaches and analysts."
