University of Waterloo leads consortium protecting Canada’s national security through 5G

The University of Waterloo is working to develop secure 5G mobile networks that will aid Canada’s security and defence.

A team of computer scientists at the university is leading the project. It includes partners from École de technologie supérieure in Montréal, University of Regina, BlackBerry, NoviFlow, Rockport Networks and Rogers.

The consortium will create AI systems, among other technologies, to detect cyberattacks on 5G slices in real-time and respond to ensure the network stays secure.

“The goal of the consortium is to deploy 5G network slices that not only have high performance, flexibility and reliability but also have increased security levels required for critical applications,” Dr. Raouf Boutaba, the principal investigator for the project, said.

Funding for the $1.5 million project is provided by the Department of National Defence.

Microsoft Teams to lose some features to Teams Premium

Microsoft is migrating some of Microsoft Teams’ features to Microsoft Teams Premium, the company’s more expensive version of Teams with some AI-powered smart features.

As reported by The Verge, Microsoft started offering a 30-day free trial of Teams Premium last month, and the platform will soon have access to exclusive features like live translated captions, custom Together Mode scenes, and virtual appointment options.

The migration of features was found by The Register, reportedly in a licensing guide update from late last month. According to the licensing guide update, “some Teams features will move from Teams licenses to Teams Premium licenses. To allow your users to keep using these features, you’ll need to purchase and assign Teams Premium licenses.”

The features that are moving to Teams Premium are:

  • Live translated captions.
  • Timeline markers in Teams meeting recordings for when a user left or joined meetings.
  • Custom organization Together mode scenes.
  • Virtual Appointments: SMS notifications.
  • Virtual Appointments: Organizational analytics in the Teams admin center.
  • Virtual Appointments: Scheduled queue view.

The company also notes that the features will remain available inside regular Microsoft Teams for 30 days once Premium launches. “After the 30-day grace period, users will lose access to features previously available in Teams without the Teams Premium add-on, unless the admin purchases and assigns Teams Premium licenses for their users,” wrote Microsoft.

Further, Microsoft has indicated that the monthly cost for Teams Premium per user is anticipated to be $10 (roughly $13 CAD); however, the official pricing will only be disclosed once the tool launches widely.

YouTube Music’s Library redesign is rolling out now

YouTube Music is now widely rolling out a significant redesign for the ‘Library’ tab, after it appeared temporarily for some users back in August, first reported by 9to5Google.

Users have been waiting for a major redesign of the Library page since the platform’s relaunch in 2018. Users will first notice that the Library tab now offers more options for accessing and organizing content. The “View my” option at the top of the tab allows users to switch between the ‘Library,’ ‘Downloads,’ ‘Uploads,’ and ‘Device’ files.

The change is a welcome one that will make it much easier to navigate through the different sections of the Library and locate the content you’re looking for. Further, the ‘History’ clock icon has been moved to the top right, next to the cast button, allowing you to see a list of recently-heard tracks without having to go to your account menu. Note, the ‘History’ icon only appears in the library, and not on the app’s Home Screen.

Users can also filter their Library by Playlists, Songs, Albums, and Artists using chips at the top of the screen. Selecting any of the first three options also provides a new Downloaded filter, while a filter accompanies the Artists filter for Subscriptions. Furthermore, a dropdown menu lets users sort their Library by Recently added, Recently played and other options, making it easier to find and play specific songs on the go.

The change is currently rolling out widely. Ensure you’re running the latest YouTube Music application to check out the redesign.

Ubisoft delays Skull and Bones for the sixth time, cancels three more games

Skull and Bones has been delayed for a staggering sixth time, Ubisoft has confirmed.

The open-world pirate game was most recently set to release on March 9th, 2023, but Ubisoft says it’s now simply slated to come sometime between now and early 2024.

The move comes amid a turbulent period for the French publishing giant. In a press release, Ubisoft acknowledged that it’s facing “major challenges,” including the cancellation of three unannounced games on top of the four it had axed last year.

The company also noted that its 2022 games — an unusually soft lineup that lacked new releases from such big franchises as Assassin’s Creed or Far Cry — “have not performed as well as expected.” Specifically, it points to the commercial underperformance of last fall’s otherwise well-received Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope and Just Dance 2023, the latter of which being the latest entry in a historically popular annualized franchise.

As a result, the company is projecting a $537 million USD (about $721 million CAD) loss for the fiscal year ending in March 2023. This has led it to cut around $215 million USD (about $289 million CAD) in costs. According to Kotaku, these cost-cutting efforts include layoffs and renewing fewer contracts at some of the company’s U.S. locations. It’s unclear how this might affect any of the publisher’s many Canadian studios, including Ubisoft Montreal and Ubisoft Toronto.

Ubisoft’s rough patch, in part, stems from its ever-evolving production pipeline. Over the past few years, the company has been pivoting towards live service titles that continue to bring in players over long periods. One of its older games, 2015’s Rainbow Six: Siege, has been one of the most popular multiplayer games on the market, with over 70 million registered players.

While the company has still released some big-budget single-player games in the form of 2018’s Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, 2020’s Watch Dogs: Legion and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and 2021’s Far Cry 6, it’s been putting more of an emphasis on live service titles. This includes Assassin’s Creed Infinity, a future live service platform for multiple Assassin’s Creed games. Ubisoft even says it will be “the single entry point for fans into the Assassin’s Creed franchise in the future.”

Other Ubisoft live service games in the works include the arena shooter XDefiant and The Division Heartland. Meanwhile, it’s cancelled other online titles like Hyperscape and Ghost Recon Frontline. 

For now, though, the company said in an emergency investor call, via Kotaku, that its release plans for the fiscal year beginning in April 2023 include Skull and Bones, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Assassin’s Creed Mirage and at least one more big unannounced title.

iPhone 15 Pro lineup reported to ditch clicky power and volume buttons

In October 2022, we reported that the upcoming iPhone 15 Pro lineup would ditch the physical click-touch and power buttons in favour of new solid-state buttons. Back then, the information was shared by reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, and now he’s doubling down on his prediction.

According to Kuo, if the change in buttons is received well by iPhone users, Apple will implement it in its other high-end devices.

“My latest survey indicates that high-end iPhone 15 models will feature solid-state buttons and will equip with additional Taptic Engines to simulate the feel of physical buttons’ force feedback,” wrote Kuo. “As the exclusive supplier of Taptic Engine’s controller IC for solid-state buttons, Cirrus Logic stands to benefit markedly from this new design. If users respond well to this new design, I think it may be adopted in other high-end models of product lines in the future.”

If the Taptic Engine technology on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max is similar to what Apple implemented on the iPhone 7’s Touch ID button, removing physical volume and power buttons wouldn’t likely be a significant issue for most users.

From what we know, the iPhone 15 line-up will measure as follows: 6.1-inch iPhone 15, 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Plus, 6.1-inch iPhone 15 Pro, and 6.7-inch iPhone 15 Pro Max. Further, the iPhone 15 Pro series will feature a new 3nm A17 Bionic chip, while the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus will include the same A16 chip as the iPhone 14 Pro series.

Rumours also suggest that the iPhone 15 series Pro devices will cost more than the 14 Pro variants did at launch. Read more about it here.

Nokia opens sustainable office in Toronto

February 21, 2019, Brazil. Nokia Corporation logo is displayed on the screen of a mobile device. Nokia is a Finnish telecommunications and technology company.

Nokia is expanding its presence in Canada through the opening of sustainable office space in Toronto, Ontario.

Nestled in downtown’s Harbourfront community, the hybrid workplace serves employees in software development, customer service, and sales. According to a press release, the team is currently working on Nokia 5G, high-speed broadband, mission-critical routing, optical, and private wireless solutions.

“Our growing presence across Canada maps to the increased demand we are seeing from customers and partners and will enable us to deliver secure, high performing, and trusted critical networking solutions,” Jeffrey Maddox, Nokia Canada’s president, said in a statement. 

The office building, part of Sugar Wharf redevelopment, focuses on sustainability, making it a perfect option for Nokia to expand under its commitment to minimizing its environmental footprint.

The Toronto office is in addition to the company’s plan to build a 5G research hub in Ottawa.
