Qualcomm plans a major chip event for September 23 called Snapdragon Summit. The company will show off its newest phone processor called Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 2. This chip will replace the current Snapdragon 8 Elite model. Officials have not mentioned anything about laptop chips at the event. The focus stays on mobile devices for the announcement.
Engineers continue testing a powerful laptop chip behind the scenes. The Snapdragon X2 Elite carries the code name SC8480XP and features 18 processing cores. Test machines run with 64 gigabytes of memory attached to the chip. Current laptop processors only offer 12 cores for comparison. The extra cores target premium computers that need serious power.
The new design puts memory and storage...
Nearly 9,000 families face losing their homes because they cannot pay rent to Harare City Council. The housing manager Edgar Dzehonye shared these numbers with the public. He explained that most people living in council properties have stopped making payments. The city rents out 10,000 homes to local residents. Less than one person out of every ten pays what they owe each month.
Officials worry about the huge number of people who refuse to pay. The council plans to collect money from families who owe rent. They will send final warnings that give tenants two weeks to pay up. After that time runs out, families get eviction papers. The process gives people another two weeks before they must leave their homes.
Dzehonye says the council...
White South Africans touched down on American soil Friday under Trump's refugee plan. The Afrikaner families fled their home country after claiming unfair treatment from their government. President Trump promised to relocate 8,000 people over several months ahead. Jaco Kleynhans works for Solidarity union and confirmed the second group arrived safely. Last month 49 people made the same trip using a chartered aircraft.
Trump created new rules during February to welcome these South African refugees. He pointed to fresh laws that target white farming communities back home. This latest bunch traveled on commercial flights from their homeland to Atlanta airport. Texas and Carolina states will welcome most of the new families. Embassy...
Zimbabwe starts fixing the broken highway between Bulawayo and Victoria Falls. The government picked five companies from eight that wanted the job. The road stretches 435 kilometers and needs major repairs. Workers are moving to their work areas before the official start. Minister Felix Mhona will kick off the project Thursday at Gwayi.
The highway has been falling apart for years. Deep holes and cracked edges make driving dangerous. Tourists and truck drivers have complained about the poor conditions. The road carries thousands of people each year to the famous waterfalls. It also connects Zimbabwe to nearby countries like Zambia and Botswana.
Minister Richard Moyo says the project will take ten months. Companies will work on...
Major tech companies are racing to secure TSMC's newest 2nm chips. Apple, MediaTek, and Qualcomm have placed orders for the advanced processors. Each wafer costs $30,000, and TSMC began accepting orders on April 1. The companies will spend billions to stay competitive. The steep price does not scare away these industry giants.
TSMC plans an even more advanced 1.4nm chip called Angstrom for 2028. This next-generation processor will cost $45,000 per wafer. The price represents a 50 percent jump from current 2nm technology. Companies have not expressed interest in the expensive Angstrom chips. Most firms are focusing their money on 2nm orders instead.
MediaTek leads the charge among TSMC customers. The company will start designing 2nm...
Most people across Uganda cook their meals using charcoal and firewood from trees. Nine out of ten families rely on these older fuel types rather than modern clean energy sources. Cities show this pattern clearly as nearly half of urban homes depend on charcoal for cooking food daily. Very few households have switched to cleaner cooking methods that create less pollution. The traditional wood burning approach remains popular despite health and environmental concerns.
President Museveni stopped all commercial charcoal making across northern Uganda during June 2023. Kenya had already banned similar tree cutting activities back during 2018 for environmental reasons. Environmental scientists worry that complete bans hurt people who need...

Pyramids FC won their first CAF Champions League title on Sunday night. The Egyptian team beat Mamelodi Sundowns 2-1 in the final match. Sundowns made one team change and brought back Jayden Adams for Arthur Sales. Pyramids also switched one player as Ramadan Sobhi joined the starting lineup. Both teams prepared carefully for the championship game.

Sundowns created a late chance through...
