When designing his new gaming mouse, Mad Catz claims to have used very different sources of inspiration. The BAT 6+ gaming mouse is intended to show elements of spaceships, super sports cars and Batmobile.
For readers who do not recognize the design references directly, Mad Catz also provides a more detailed explanation. According to the manufacturer, the side vents are based on the air intake optics of super sports cars. The interchangeable side wings are said to have been reminiscent of aggressive space fighters and the palm rest was ultimately inspired by the roof of a Batmobile. Functionally, the BAT 6+ was designed as a two-handed mouse, so it should appeal to both right and left-handers. Finger and palm rests are interchangeable and come in different sizes. The mouse can be easily adapted to individual preferences and grip styles. Mad Catz is confident that the BAT 6+ can be used in palm, claw and finger-tip grip.

The heart of the BAT 6+ is a proven PixArt PWM – 3389 – Sensor with up to 16 . 000 DPI. The total of ten keys can be freely assigned. As with the wireless RAT DWS, the new mechanical DAKOTA switches from Mad Catz are also used with the BAT 6+. A new signal acquisition technology should reduce the response time of the switches to less than 2 ms. According to Mad Catz, their own switches are 60% faster than other mechanical switches. The lifespan is specified as 60 million clicks. The internal memory of the BAT 6+ offers enough space for five different profiles. A new software called Mad Catz Cyborg Engine is used to set up the mouse. It was developed as a centralized solution for all compatible Mad Catz products.
The spaceship / super sports car / Batmobile mouse should be available at the end of February, but Mad Catz is still naming for the BAT 6+ no price.
While the economy has recently picked up again in many places after the sometimes catastrophic pandemic year 2020, a chip shortage is now slowing down several industries. The chip manufacturers AMD and Nvidia do not assume that this will be resolved in the first half of the year. In Germany, for example, the automotive industry has recently been particularly hard hit, with the first manufacturers having to send employees on short-time work because delivery bottlenecks are slowing down production. The problem has persisted for a long time with graphics cards. We’ll talk about the reasons and further expectations in a new edition of our #heiseshow.
What exactly is missing at the moment? What do we know, what are the rumors? Who is affected and how much and when is improvement in sight? Is it just the pandemic to blame or are there other reasons as well? Does the lack of graphics cards, for example, only make them more expensive, or are the affected components simply not available at all? What is being done about the deficiency and how quickly can it also bear fruit?
These and many other questions – including the audience – discuss Jürgen Kuri (@jkuri) and Martin Holland (@fingolas) with c ‘t editor Christof Windeck and Mark Mantel from heise online in a new episode of #heiseshow, live from 12 Clock.

Looking for a Lego brick? Daniel West’s Raspberry Pi universal Lego sorting machine is just what you need. It’s made of Lego bricks, for Lego bricks, and can recognize any brick shape!
The machine is made with 10,000 individual Lego bricks. To power the main sorting operation, a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ was used. That said, a Raspberry Pi 4 would also do the trick.
(Image credit: Daniel West)
The system uses more than just bricks and Pi—there are a few microelectronic components, including six Lego motors and nine servo motors. These motors operate a series of belts that move bricks one at a time where they are sorted into one of 18 individual bins.
The Lego bricks are scanned using a Pi Camera Module V2. The images are sent wirelessly to a nearby PC, which uses an AI neural network to recognize bricks and predict newly introduced ones. Once the brick has been identified, the information is relayed back to the Raspberry Pi, which then assigns the brick to be moved into the proper bucket.
If you want to see this incredible sorting creation in action, check out West’s official channel on YouTube. Be sure to visit our list of Best Raspberry Pi Projects for more cool creations from the maker community.
About two months ago, Samsung announced a new line of monitors, called Samsung Smart Monitor. It consists of the M5 model, with Full HD resolution, available in two variants – 27 and 32 ″, respectively M7, available in a single variant – 365 ″ / 4K. Of course, being one of the largest manufacturers of monitors and televisions in the world, this announcement was not a surprise or a news of proportions. After all, Samsung is constantly launching new TVs or monitors.
This time, however, the Smart Monitor series really caught my attention, because it is an interesting concept that fits perfectly with consumer habits from the moment face. Why do I say that? Because the Samsung Smart Monitor M5 is, as the name suggests, a monitor. That is, we can connect it to the PC and get to work.
But, at the same time, it is, as its name suggests, a smart monitor. What does a smart monitor mean? Well, almost a Smart TV, without the possibility of connecting to the cable of television operators. In Romanian, the Samsung Smart Monitor M5 can connect to our wireless network and we can use it to access streaming platforms, such as Netflix, Disney +, Prime Video, YouTube or Apple TV, for example.
It’s just that… is a little more than a Smart TV. Because we can connect a mouse and a keyboard to it and we can work in Microsoft Office 365 without needing a PC. Or we can remotely connect to the desktop PC and work on it. Or… we can use the Samsung smartphone as a PC, with the help of the Dex / Tap View / mirroring triplet. Yes, Samsung Smart Monitor M5 has an NFC sensor integrated in the frame, which means that we can connect to it with the phone through a single tap (Tap View).
And in case I haven’t mentioned this so far, the monitor is equipped with two 5W speakers and comes with a remote control, which supports voice commands via Alexa, Google Assistant, respectively Bixby 2.0. We can even share content from Apple devices, quickly and easily, with the help of AirPlay 2.
In other words, a good display at all, which can keep no problem instead of a second TV (basically, most users use at least one streaming platform) or PC for work. All this for… 999 RON.
Roman Hartung alias der8auer has already tried several times to further optimize the cooling of a notebook – but so far without success. The application of liquid metal and the tuning of the fan control have a positive effect, of course, but the project should only show a few percentage points of performance gain.
The preliminary highlight is the printing of a water cooler for the notebook. This is an Acer Predator with an Intel Core i9 – 9980 HK and a GeForce RTX 2020 Max-Q. Acer cools the two components along with the power supply using an elaborate heat pipe construction, in which five heat pipes ensure that the waste heat is conducted to the cooling blocks with their cooling fins, where two radial fans, typical for a gaming notebook, provide the necessary fresh air . But with such a construction, you will of course quickly reach certain thermal limits.
For this reason, Roman turned to the Parare company, which has developed 3D processes that also produce complex components Enable metal. The printers themselves are of course from other manufacturers, but Parare has built up a certain amount of expertise in metal 3D printing, which is used in the automotive industry, among other things. Such a process can be used, among other things, when a destructive process (machining, milling, etc.) is not possible because the complexity of a component simply does not allow such processing.
At Parare, a water cooler was then built that is to be used in the notebook. This was 3D-printed from aluminum and of course has roughly the design of the original air cooler with its heat pipes, since it should also fit into the notebook again. The two fans should still be used, but of course the cooler has the connections necessary for water cooling.
Inside, in the area of the CPU and GPU, there are of course some structures that absorb the waste heat should optimize. With this kind of flat design it would not have been possible to build such a cooler in the classic way. There is simply not enough space for a CNC-milled cooler with cover and O-rings and even assembly would hardly have been possible. In this respect, 3D printing offers the possibility of realizing this.
In another video there will also be the results on the use of water cooling in the gaming notebook. We will update the message accordingly.

1. Update: First results
Roman has meanwhile installed the water cooler in his notebook and is delivering first results. It is also explained in more detail that there is an internal water cooling circuit that is operated by a small pump even without using the external connections. This pump works with 5 V and can be connected internally in the notebook. The two fans cool this internal circuit. In stationary operation there are quick-connect connections via which the cooler is then operated externally. The notebook remains completely independent in mobile use.
2. 500 to 3.00 The 3D-printed cooler cost 0 euros in this form or would cost roughly. It is a prototype, i.e. a initially unique project.
The first measurements show a rather high boost clock in single-threaded operation, which is reflected in the corresponding Cinebench points . Were it so far 454 points are it now 473 points. In the multi-threaded test, the temperatures then rise again 90 ° C, but obviously significantly higher boost clock rates are achieved, so that the Cinebench result by 600 to 700 Points (2nd 889 Points before and now 3. 521 Points ) is higher. The increase in processor performance is already quite decent.
Obviously, however, the cooler still has its problems with cooling the GPU. In the Time Spy test 9. 225 Points achieved for the graphics test, with the 3D printed water cooler there are only 5. 195 Points. The GPU also gets around good 10 ° C warmer than before.
In the next video tests with the external supply of the water cooling will follow.

2. Update: Results with an external circuit
Now Roman has also delivered the results with an external circuit connected. By further optimizing the power limit, the result in the multi-threaded test of Cinebench R 23 on 3.997 points are increased. From 2. 700 points with the standard cooler became 3. 500 Points with the internal circuit with the notebook case open and now almost 4. 00 0 points with the external water cooling.
Now that the temperatures for the GPU were also right (although Roman had to adjust the amount of thermal paste here), was able to also the 3D performance based on 9. 225 Points increased to 9. 551 points
In the end, the performance plus certainly does not justify the effort and certainly not the costs. But that’s always the case with such a project and how much effort you want to invest is ultimately up to you.

(Pocket-lint) – The Microsoft Surface Laptop has, through all three of its release iterations, proven to be our favourite premium Windows laptop time and again – winning the Pocket-lint Awards in its category in both 2019 and 2020.
So when Microsoft decided to bring out a more affordable version, called the Surface Laptop Go, it did make us wonder what would have to give to cut the price without cutting into a premier experience. So here’s how it all stacks up.
Design & Display
12.4-inch PixelSense display, 3:2 aspect ratio, 1536 x 1024 resolution
Dimensions: 278 x 206 x 15.7mm / Weight: 1.1kgs
1x USB-A, 1x USB-C, 1x 3.5mm headphone jack
Proprietary Surface Connect port for power
Finishes: Platinum, Sandstone, Ice Blue
Windows 10 S
Upon pulling the Surface Laptop Go from its box it looks a far cry from its budget status, aping many of the premium design traits that you’ll find in the Surface Laptop proper. The use of cool-to-touch metal on the lid and frame being standout, while the finish options – there’s three, this one in the photos is Ice Blue – look great.
Pocket-lint
The Go is small and lightweight, yet it’s got a fairly large screen on account of the 3:2 aspect ratio – making the 12.4-inch panel more like an A4 sheet of paper than the more elongated screens that are so typical in laptops.
The screen is plenty bright, too, while its resolution – at 1536 by 1024 – is pretty sharp considering it’s less than Full HD in overall pixel count. That’s not a big problem, it just means you’ll find sharper panels elsewhere in the market. It’s befitting of its budget status, really, which is the whole point of the Go model.
Pocket-lint
Ports aren’t especially plentiful: there’s a USB-C and a full-size USB-A port, but other than the 3.5mm headphones jack that’s your lot. Thankfully power is handled by Microsoft’s Surface Connect rather than using up the USB-C port, although we would prefer this proprietary format to be dropped in favour of more ports in the design.
When plugged in we found the Go’s first issue though: it’s noisy. The fan kicks in due to the device heating up when recharging, which is delivered in an irksome whistling fashion. It doesn’t even need to be under load for this to happen, you could have no applications open whatsoever and it’ll whistle away.
Pocket-lint
Another major point to mention is the use of Windows 10 S. This version of Windows utilises the Microsoft Store to obtain and download apps – so you’re shielded from EXE file-types and can’t download and install such a variety of apps.
However, to switch out from S to ‘normal’ Windows 10 is easy enough: you can do it for free and we suspect most will do this straight away. We certainly did. That then means the Go has no limitations in what you can obtain and run on it, whether that’s a different browser such as Chrome, or a full-fat app such as Photoshop (albeit running at Intel Core i5 levels).
Keyboard & Trackpad
Fingerprint reader power button*
Full-size keyboard, no backlight
Large precision trackpad
Although the Go’s keyboard looks fairly squashed into its space, it’s actually a full-size one – and that makes for a decent typing experience.
Pocket-lint
Well, it does when it’s light. Unfortunately the Go’s keyboard lacks a backlight, with only the Caps Lock key having a corner LED for any kind of illumination. It’s pretty rare that a keyboard isn’t backlit these days. But that’s another area where cost-cutting has happened, ultimately, to help keep the Go a little more budget.
The trackpad is a reasonably large scale, too, with a smooth topped finish that’s responsive to touch. It is plastic rather than glass, which gives it a slightly more ‘tacky’ feel to the fingers, but it works well enough. Some competitors are releasing laptops with even larger over-size trackpads, but there’s not much unused space in the Surface Laptop Go’s real-estate anyway, so we think it’s a sound solution as is.
Pocket-lint
Also of note is the fingerprint scanner embedded in the power button, which makes for super-quick Windows 10 sign-in. *Caveat time though: this feature is absent from the entry-level model, so if you’re looking to the Laptop Go for its appealing price point then note that not all models offer the same by feature set.

Performance & Battery
10th Gen Intel Core i5 processor (1035G1), Intel UHD Graphics
As we detailed previously, the Surface Laptop Go ships with Windows 10 S, but you can switch this to Windows 10 instead without incurring a cost. It’s a good job, then, that there’s a proper processor under the hood, capable enough of handling tasks that may typically fall outside of the Windows 10 S remit. Want Photoshop? You got it.
Pocket-lint
Whichever Surface Laptop Go you pick – and there are three levels – it’s the same processor, an Intel Core i5 (1035G1). It’s the storage and RAM that differ rather dramatically though: the entry-level model has 64GB and 4GB respectively, which is rather limited; the two other models up the RAM to 8GB; while the only other difference from mid- to top-level is 128GB versus 256GB storage.
If you opt for the top-end model, however, the price is significantly higher – by almost 40 per cent over the base model, and closing in on the four-figures mark. That’s rather a lot to pay for doubling the RAM and delivering a usable storage amount. The middle spec model is probably the best balanced of the lot, remaining at an attractive price point with just about enough storage on board.
Pocket-lint
In terms of battery life the Surface Laptop Go quotes an up-to-13-hour life per charge, but that’s over-reaching compared to its real-world figure. We were able to stream a Full HD YouTube video (well, the source was Full HD, the screen downscales that given the resolution available) for just under seven hours before it was game-over time. That’s reasonable enough innings, on par with the Surface Laptop 3, and long enough to cater for a varied day of work/study/mucking about on the internet.
Verdict
The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go is a compelling affordable laptop. It pulls on much of the design and quality of Microsoft’s established Surface range, without cutting features to the bone.
There are some quirks – such as a noisy fan, a limited numbers of ports, and limited storage in the entry-level model – but given the balance of features and performance we think Microsoft has got a success on its hands here. The mid-priced model is the one to go for.

It’s got more ports, better battery life, and is well designed – albeit not quite as refined as the Microsoft product. If the mid-spec Surface Laptop Go seems appealing then consider comparing it to this Yoga before making that final decision.
Apple macOS 11 Big Sur: All the key new Mac features explored
There is currently a real gold rush feeling among the streaming providers. Both Netflix and Disney + are seeing record growth in user numbers due to the ongoing corona pandemic. So it is not surprising if other film studios also want something from the streaming cake.
With HBO Max, the film and television company Warner Bros. has already sent its platform into the race. Paramount Pictures is now following suit and will be releasing its own streaming service on March 4th 2021 with Paramount +. For the time being, however, this will only be available in the USA, Canada and Latin America in cooperation with Viacom-CBS. It is still unclear whether and when the said service can also be subscribed to in Germany.
In addition, Paramount Pictures has currently licensed most of the works in this country. In addition to Netflix, the studio’s series and films can also be found on Amazon Prime. How long the contracts will run is currently not known. However, it can be assumed that Paramount intends to play its own content exclusively via Paramount +.

Users in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden can the service from 25. March use. So Paramount definitely seems to have a global marketing strategy for the platform. Viacom-CBS also announced to the public on 24. February 2021 to present further details on the service.
With the introduction of Paramount +, the fragmentation in the streaming market continues to increase. It is currently unclear what effects this will have. At the moment it is rather unlikely that users will opt for several providers at once. It is unlikely that the operators will join forces in the future and offer their customers a combination subscription model. Even a ticket system that would allow only individual series or films to be streamed for a certain period of time would not be very popular with viewers.
