According to Purple’s conduct of a nationwide survey of more than a thousand businesses, around 22{d13d12ce37c72f421914414063ef9fd972be275d1020909a7046326096876d95} of hiring managers had confessed that they were worried about interviewing people with disabilities because they were not sure what to ask or saying something that would offend these people. In contrast, around 45{d13d12ce37c72f421914414063ef9fd972be275d1020909a7046326096876d95} of the others had stated that they were apprehensive about the idea of hiring people with disabilities out of the fear that they will not be able to do the job expected from them.

People with disabilities have always faced prejudice when it comes to anything in their life – but it really gets harsh when it is time to get job interviews. Despite how far we have come in our social progress, disabled people still continue to face prejudices everywhere.

But what we miss out on not hiring these people could be the key that can amplify the progress of our business endeavors. Many people do not realize this but recruiting and hiring people with disabilities does not have to be such a challenging task. Plus, the following benefits might just be able to change your mind when it comes to hiring people with disabilities.

Improving the Bottom Line of a Company

Since the beginning, people with disabilities have spent their whole life trying to solve problems – and this can become a very useful tool within the IT industry. As such, they tend to bring a sense of loyalty and technical innovation to their work environment. Many large corporations such as Microsoft have told their stories about how their companies have benefited thanks to the determined services of their employees with disabilities.

Untapped Potential

Finding the ideal talent for your organization can be hard to find and on top of that if you are not hiring people with disabilities then you are clearly missing out on a talent pool of untapped potential. There are times when people with disabilities can offer you a wide and unique range of skill sets that can give you a competitive edge in the industry.

And this is just scratching the service. So if you are trying to hire people with disabilities, you need to get creative and make them feel welcome in your space while giving them an equal chance at a job opportunity.

As an example to show you what others have done, consider looking into the Whiteboard Challenge – a highly satirical reality game show that is based on the tech industry’s job interview practices.

Created by Michael Raymond Kureth, the Whiteboard Challenge is a three-paneled judge show where legitimate software engineers solve code tests until a contestant gets withdrawn for the time-restricted challenge phase to commerce.

One of the most interesting things about the show is that it does not discriminate against an individual’s race, gender, ethnicity, and disability. Everyone is treated the same way by professionals and provided equal opportunities so that everyone can bring out their best potential to the show.

By the end of the show, each candidate is evaluated and is told how they are qualified for certain roles. This way, professional IT experts are able to get a closer look at the best talent and with no judgments, they can bring out the best in people. Whiteboard Challenge voices the societal challenges to transition into the constructive dynamics of empathy, support, and humanity with the local Los Angeles and global tech startup community.

The post What is Currently Known About the New Play Station 5 first appeared on Tech News Here.]]>
It is well known that PlayStation is a brand of video gaming system by Sony that has:

  • Media center;
  • 4 home video game consoles;
  • Online service;
  • Two handhelds;
  • Controllers lines;
  • A phone.

It was created and launched in 1994 in Japan and has been owned by Sony ever since.

Earlier 2019

Earlier this year, it was rumored that Sony is currently working on the successor to the PS4 Pro and PS4 Slim. While no one has shared the official name or release date, for some time all we had were a rumor that shed some light on a few choice details about what we could expect from its hardware. Here is everything that we currently know about the PS5 so far and what we hope will be revealed the closer that Sony gets to launch.

CEO Jim Ryan

The CEO Sony PlayStation has also said that Sony’s next flagship console will be named the PlayStation 5 and referred to as PS5. He let it be known that PS5 will hit the market in time for the next holiday season, sometime before November through December 2020.

What’s been heard

From everything that has been heard up to now, the PlayStation 5 is going to blow gamers away with its top-level specs and eye-catching design, though nothing is certain until Sony makes the console official. We now know that it’ll be at the end of 2020.

Mark Cerny – PS5 boss

Since PS5 boss Mark Cerny has been so open about Sony’s next-generation console plans; now gamers have a strong understanding of what this next PlayStation 5 will be bringing to the market. Going on what gamers have heard, loyalists to Xbox who are waiting for the official Xbox Scarlett dispatch might need to be worried. These are just a few of the officially confirmed PS5 features that will match – or beat – the Xbox One successor, and it can be seen that Sony is reaching for another conclusive victory in the console generation war.

Gaming hardware

Talking about the gaming hardware, the PlayStation 5 will not disillusion anyone, due to the system confirmed to be loaded with a CPU that is constructed on the 3rd generation of AMD’s Ryzen processors line having eight cores and the new 7nm Zen 2 so-called “micro-architecture”.

Custom Radeon GPU

Additionally, the PS5 comes with a custom Radeon GPU which not only branches from the innovative Navi family but is also proficient in ray tracing. Ray tracing is the next-gen lighting technique modeled on the travel of light in-game worlds and is currently only being used in the blockbuster hit Hollywood movies. This is something that will mean PS5 games will look unlike anything ever before delivered on PlayStation 4.

PS5 comes with a 3D audio chip

News that has excited gamers is that this new PS5 will have installed a custom 3D audio unit in its AMD processor.  Cerny explained that this was done due to the fact that many gamers were quite frustrated when the audio did not change much between PlayStation 3 and 4. So, this new generation console will be a dream that shows how intensively different the audio experience can be by adding a substantial amount of hardware horsepower to it.

Gamers on better sound

Many gamers always say that a sound experience with better quality is vital to enjoying a game even more, so the idea that this sound will be able to take a game to a whole new level with this dynamic 3D audio, especially one that does not need any additional hardware; sounds truly fantastic.

Streaming of games

It has also been leaked that the PS5 while still being able to play discs, it will also be able to link up with Sony as well as Microsoft’s plans for streaming of games – but much is still not known about how this is going to be done.

But there have been leaks that have been surprising, and one that a patent that Sony has registered for an all-new general shape of the PS5 plus cooling vents and button inputs. But even a design outline can always change between now and when the PlayStation 5 late 2020 launch.

The biggest surprise is coming

While there are quite a few new things to drool over especially after Sony’s PlayStation 5 announcement, there is more excitement to come one being the excitement over the controller, that avoids the name of DualShock for a new “as-yet-unannounced label”. PS5 is full of features that are new, but another patent filed by Sony points to other surprises.

Techtastic

Techtastic is the Dutch blog reporting on another patent application that was filed a few weeks ago, entitled “Network Connected Controller for Direct to Cloud Gaming”. This points to Sony contemplating gaming that is cloud-based; hooking a controller up to the net to play games hosted on a server online, rather than downloaded onto the console.

It is official

The PS5 is official with the release date expected for the Christmas shopping season next year. And the big hint is that the price will be $399 but many find that hard to believe that a new system will sell for that low. It is “common knowledge” that the makers of console sell systems at a loss at the start recoupling any losses later when gamers buy games, memberships or other accessories.

Microsoft rumors

Microsoft is rumored to be releasing two consoles at their launch Lockhart and Anaconda, then it could be possible that Sony would release this new PS5 for a low price as a marketing ploy to combat Microsoft’s plans.

So, this is all that is known about the new PS5 – but there are probably going to be other surprises as the new year goes by.

Guide to New Spartan from Microsoft https://technewshere.com/guide-to-new-spartan-from-microsoft/ https://technewshere.com/guide-to-new-spartan-from-microsoft/#respond Mon, 22 Jan 2018 12:25:07 +0000 https://technewshere.com/?p=63 Spartan, the latest browser from Microsoft which is planned to roll out along with the Windows 10 is going to be the next sensation in the history of browsers, particularly because of the fresh features it encapsulates.

Spartan, the latest browser from Microsoft which is planned to roll out along with the Windows 10 is going to be the next sensation in the history of browsers, particularly because of the fresh features it encapsulates. Internet Explorer, the years old, tried and tested, popular browser from Microsoft was due of an up gradation; but Microsoft decided to roll out with a completely fresh browser instead, to offer the users a feel of the most advanced browsing experience.

During Microsoft’s press conference in January, details about Spartan were first disclosed; and now an early version of the browser has been packed into the Windows 10 preview build. This article will take you through vital information about this browser that can work as your guide to Spartan.

  • The look:

    The latest browser is noticeably slimmer than IE. It does not include the plethora of menus and the settings are pretty simple. Instead, it includes some totally fresh features and is noticeably fast. The look is clean and the navigation bar at the right disappears when not using the mouse.

  • Take notes right on the webpages:

    This feature of Spartan is surely going to make the browser a preferred one for online readers and researchers. By simply clicking on the pen and paper button user can annotate any website, and with a touchscreen PC the feature can have the maximum potential to the users.

  • Cortana:

    Cortana is known as the Siri of Microsoft and it is embedded into the new Spartan. Cortana will enable the browser to help with the maps and also other features that are yet to be disclosed.

  • Offline reading:

    Offline reading is fully supported in Spartan. Once you find something interesting on the web you can simply save it for later reading by clicking a single button.

  • Reading mode:

    Increasing number of advertisements on every website is surely becoming a problem for serious readers; but with Spartan, they can now easily shift to the Reading mode of any website to read an ad-free version.

Microsoft claims that Spartan runs a fresh engine built from scratch which has enabled the browser to load complex websites and videos practically without delay.  There are still a few bugs in the browser, but we can expect Microsoft to sort them all out before they actually launch the browser commercially. Eventually, the browser will support different extensions as well, however, IE is not going away from Windows 10, rather it will be present there as the primary browser to ensure that all the websites and apps function properly.
