Netflix revives political thriller 'Designated Survivor'

Image
Netflix has saved President Tom Kirkman's re-election bid from failure by snapping up Designated Survivor after ABC canceled the show. According to Deadline , the third season of Kiefer Sutherland's political thriller will be a global Netflix original -- yup, even in the US and Canada, where it's streaming on Hulu. Its creator's deal with Hulu reportedly made the transition to Netflix tougher than it should be. In the end, though, they were able to hammer out a deal that involves giving Netflix exclusive streaming rights to the show's first two seasons in the US and Canada starting this fall. The title is already available on the platform in other countries. Netflix VP of Content Bela Bajaria said in a statement: "Timely and gripping, Designated Survivor has quickened the pulses of our Netflix members outside the US and Canada in its

Sharing GPU for Machine Learning/Deep Learning on VMware vSphere with NVIDIA GRID: Why is it needed? And How to share GPU?

Image
By Lan Vu, Uday Kurkure, and Hari Sivaraman  VMware vSphere supports NVIDIA GRID technology for multiple types of workloads. This technology virtualizes GPUs via a mediated passthrough mechanism. Initially, NVIDIA GRID supported GPU virtualization for graphics workloads only. But, since the introduction of Pascal GPU, NVIDIA GRID has supported GPU virtualization for both graphics and CUDA/machine learning workloads. With this support, multiple VMs running GPU-accelerated workloads like machine learning/deep learning (ML/DL) based on TensorFlow, Keras, Caffe, Theano, […] The post Sharing GPU for Machine Learning/Deep Learning on VMware vSphere with NVIDIA GRID: Why is it needed?

In a recent survey by research firm IDC, IT managers ranked the skill of the project team as the top influencer on project success [footnote 1]. But finding efficient and cost-effective methods to build and maintain the skills valued by IT leadership isn't always easy, and has led to a growing skills gap.

My thoughts and observations on VMworld 2018

One thing that never changes is that there is … Continue reading » [[ This is a content summary only.

iRobot’s latest Roomba remembers your home’s layout and empties itself

Image
iRobot hasn't changed the basic formula of its Roomba robot vacuums since the product line was first launched in 2002, but each new generation brings small improvements that make using the bots a little bit easier. The newest Roomba i7+, unveiled today, has two key changes: the robot now remembers your home's floor plan, and it empties itself. The auto-emptying feature is probably the most useful. The i7+ doesn't actually fling dirt into your garbage after each clean; instead, it uses a hopper attached to its charging station as an intermediary. Each time it returns to the base, dirt in the robot is sucked up into the hopper, which stores up to 30 bins. Other robot vacuum makers have offered this option for years, but it's good to see...

Astronomy Picture of the Day: Along the Western Veil

Image
Along the Western Veil Delicate in appearance, these filaments of shocked, glowing gas, are draped across planet Earth's sky toward the constellation of Cygnus. They form the western part of the Veil Nebula . The Veil Nebula itself is a large supernova remnant , an expanding cloud born of the death explosion of a massive star. Light from the original supernova explosion likely reached Earth over 5,000 years ago. Blasted out in the cataclysmic event, the interstellar shock wave plows through space sweeping up and exciting interstellar material. The glowing filaments are really more like long ripples in a sheet seen almost edge on, remarkably well separated into atomic hydrogen (red) and oxygen (blue-green) gas. Also known as the Cygnus Loop, the Veil Nebula now spans nearly 3 degrees or about 6 times the diameter of the full Moon. While that translates to over 70 light-years at its

There’s finally a Roomba that can empty itself

Image
Since 2002, iRobot's Roomba has been something of a status symbol: a robot vacuum that can clean your floors while you sit back and relax. It's steadily become better and more efficient at cleaning since it debuted -- the last flagship model, the Roomba 980 , added floor mapping three years ago. But once your Roomba finishes up, you still have to unload the dustbin manually. It's a stark reminder that we haven't reached the automated cleaning utopia of The Jetsons. That changes with the $949 Roomba i7+ -- it's smarter than ever before, and it can unload up to 30 dirty bins on its own without any help. Rosie the Robot, here we come. In true Pimp My Ride fashion, iRobot basically added a vacuum to its vacuum to suck the dirt out. The Roomba i7+ Clean Base doubles as both a charger and a dirt bin. After a cleaning job, it automatically sucks the debris

Garmin adds Deezer to its music-playing fitness watches

Image
To date, Garmin's music-capable fitness watches have had access to iHeartRadio and... that's about it. You're about to get some much-needed variety, though, as Deezer's music service has finally arrived on Garmin fitness wearables after months of promises. You can store more than 100 tunes on your wrist and sync playlists (including curated workout playlists) like you might with other services on smartwatches, but the ace up Garmin's sleeve may be Deezer's Flow feature. While the mix of favorites and recommendations isn't that special on your phone or PC, it gives you a fresh mix every day -- important when you'd rather not repeat your gym soundtrack. The feature is available through a Deezer app in Garmin's Connect IQ store, although you'll need both a music-ready device (the Fenix 5 Plus series , Forerunner 645 Music or Vi

Paul McCartney will play a YouTube concert on September 7th

Image
Paul McCartney is no stranger to embracing technology , and you're about to get further proof of it. The iconic musician is performing an "intimate" YouTube concert on September 7th at 8PM Eastern as part of a YouTube Original production. It's a plug for his new album Egypt Station , as you might have guessed, but he'll also play tunes from his Beatles and Wings days. This certainly isn't the first YouTube concert, but it's certainly one of the higher-profile examples. It also shows how much has changed in the past several years. It wasn't that long ago when legal Beatles downloads were a novelty , and now you can watch McCartney live on just about any screen in your home.

Toyota recalls over a million hybrid vehicles due to fire risk

Image
Toyota is recalling more than a million Prius and C-HR hybrids worldwide due to a fire risk. Around 192,000 Prius vehicles in the US and more than 550,000 cars in Japan are involved in the recall, which is related to wiring connected to the power control unit. Insulation may wear down over time, potentially leading to a short circuit that could ultimately cause a fire. The recall affects cars built in Japan between June 2015 and May 2018, including the Prius plug-in variant and the hybrid version of the C-HR. Dealers will inspect the wire harness assembly and if a wire core is exposed, repairs will be handled at no cost to vehicle owners. Otherwise, protective tape will be applied to the wire harness assembly. Toyota is contacting all known owners of the affected vehicles starting later this month. Meanwhile, you can enter your vehicle identification or licenc
