When Intel Extreme Masters came back to Sydney for the first time since 2019, it came back hard. Over 20,000 fans attended the Counter-Strike 2 tournament in the Aware Super Theatre, making it both the largest and fastest-selling Australian esports tournament in history. That was just for the in-person attendance — online, the tournament saw a peak of over 460,000 viewers and a combined 6.6 million hours watched according to Esports Charts.
iPad mini 7 to Launch Soon With Upgraded Internals And a Solution For a Long-Standing Issue
15.10.2023 - 22:09 / wccftech.com
Apple's iPad mini 6 launched in 2021 with a new design featuring slimmer bezels and a bigger display. The changes were well received by the tech community as well as the customers. However, shortly after the release of the new mini iPad, users complained of an issue called 'jelly scrolling'. Jelly scrolling is a condition where one side of the display refreshes slightly faster than the other, giving users the illusion of a faulty panel. It appears that the company is planning to cater to the jelly scrolling condition of the device with the launch of its forthcoming iPad mini 7.
It was recently reported that Apple could launch the new iPad models this week. We are expecting the company to upgrade the iPad Air and iPad mini lineup with the latest internals. The iPad Air could launch with an M2 chip while the iPad mini 7 could feature Apple's new A17 Pro or last year's A16 Bionic chip for enhanced computational and graphical performance. However, one of the biggest changes potentially coming with the iPad mini 7 is the new rotated screen assembly which could reduce the jelly scrolling condition.
It was reported earlier this year that Apple could host another event after the iPhone 15 announcement to debut new Macs and iPad models. However, the M3 Macs and iPad Pro models were pushed until next year. It seems that the company will launch the iPad mini 7 and iPad Air 6 sooner rather than later with upgraded chips. Jelly scrolling is not an entirely new condition but a by-product of using LCD panels. Apple states that the condition is normal for an LCD screen but the condition is very prominent on the iPad mini 6.
While there is no fix to the condition, the company is working to reduce jelly scrolling via rotated screen assembly, according to Instant Digital. Users have reported the issue when the iPad mini 6 is in a portrait orientation. This means that the refresh rate gap between the two sides of the display is not visible or noticeable in the landscape mode. Henceforth, the company will rotate the screen assembly to fix the condition.
However, if the company is only working to rotate the screen assembly, the condition could persist in landscape mode. It remains to be seen how the company will tackle the condition. Apple is rumored to release iOS 17.1 on October 24 and it could announce the new iPad Air 6 and iPad mini 7 alongside it. Since the company is only upgrading the internals, we suspect that the new iPad Air 6 and iPad mini 7 will be announced via a press release. We will keep you guys updated on the latest, so be sure to stick around.

Space sim Squadron 42 is "feature-complete" and gunning for Starfield's lunch with massive new video
It's been 11 long years since the unveiling of Squadron 42, Star Citizen's singleplayer campaign, seven years since developer Cloud Imperium Games broke Squadron 42 off into a standalone purchase, five years since Crytek took them to court for allegedly breaching their CryEngine license, three years since Crytek and Cloud Imperium settled that lawsuit, and three years since director Chris Roberts sought to justify the game's long development time to Kickstarter backers, declaring that "it would be doing a huge disservice to everyone working really hard on the project and all of you that are looking forward to it to deliver something that isn't great." Well, all that waiting has finally paid off, as Squadron 42 is now officially... "feature-complete" and "into the polishing phase", meaning that the Wing Commander-inspired space sim is almost guaranteed to release before the death of our sun.
