10+ min ago (825+ words) Researchers have developed a new method for secure computation that allows a limited computer to outsource complex tasks to a more powerful server without sharing its data, crucially achieving this with readily available technology and significantly reduced communication compared to previous approaches. https://quantumzeitgeist.com/wp-content/uploads/Image_fx-28-16.jpg Delegating complex computations to remote servers without revealing sensitive data represents a significant challenge in modern cryptography, and researchers are actively pursuing solutions known as blind computation. Mohit Joshi, Manoj Kumar Mishra, and S. Karthikeyan, from Banaras Hindu University, now present a new protocol that overcomes limitations found in existing methods. Their approach achieves universal blind computation using a recursive decryption of standard rotation gates, crucially avoiding the need for complex, highly entangled quantum states at the server. This advancement substantially reduces the communication demands of the process, paving the way for practical implementation of variational algorithms within…...

Impressively, it beats the AU$488 low we saw during the recent Black Friday sales. We also saw the EA Sports FC26 bundle going for just AU$1 more " AU$489 " and in similar fashion, Amazon also has a Fortnite bundle for AU$479. An extra AU$2 for one of the most popular games in recent memory is a sweet deal if you ask me.

37+ min ago (161+ words) Exynos 2600 application processor / Courtesy of Samsung Electronics The Korean tech giant said in its website post that the Exynos 2600, boasting the industry's first 2-nanometer gate-all-around (GAA) production technology, is currently under "mass production" status. APs, often described as the brains of mobile devices, handle the core computing tasks that run operating systems and applications. "The Exynos 2600 delivers enhanced AI and gaming experiences by integrating powerful CPU, NPU and GPU into a single compact chip," the company said on the website. Compared with its predecessor, the Exynos 2500, the new AP boasts up to 39 percent improved CPU capability and 113 percent higher generative AI performance, according to Samsung. "Thanks to these improvements, you can perform more on-device AI tasks, such as intelligent image editing and AI assistant functions, quicker and more efficiently," the company added. Samsung Electronics plans to hold a launch ceremony…...

38+ min ago (353+ words) iPhone 17 had launched in India for Rs 82,900 but recently it was mentioned that Apple plans to hike the prices of its base model by up to Rs 7,000. In fact, rumours hinted that the company could make the iPhone 17 price change in December 2025 but now those concerns can be more or less put to rest. The chances of Apple increasing the iPhone 17 price in India has been claimed to be fake news and the company has no plans to hike the iPhone 17 price in the country anytime soon." In fact, the company is having a hard time managing the demand for the base iPhone 17 model in the country and is struggling to supply in time. These trends probably suggested Apple could increase the price to handle the situation." The new iPhone 17 has got reasonable upgrades this year, which includes a 120Hz ProMotion…...

49+ min ago (458+ words) The newest member of the OnePlus 15 family, the OnePlus 15R, has been launched with a clear goal in mind. It positions itself right between the full-fledged flagship OnePlus 15 and the more compact OnePlus 13s, bringing the latest Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 processor at a base price of "47,999. This raises a familiar question: if the OnePlus 15 delivers the absolute best and the OnePlus 13s focuses on compact flagship usability, where does the OnePlus 15R fit in? The answer lies in balance. This is a phone designed for users who want near-flagship performance, a large immersive display, and exceptional battery life. It also directly challenges the OnePlus 13s by offering more power and endurance, provided compactness is not a deciding factor. Running on OxygenOS 16 based on Android 16, this model benefits from the same refined software experience as the OnePlus 15. The interface remains clean, fast, and responsive, with Parallel…...
