Reverse-Engineering the Mi Band 10’s Bestechnic SoC to Run Doom

A Hackaday post details reverse-engineering the Mi Band 10, whose BES2700iMP/BEST1503 SoC lacks a public SDK. By using a leaked SDK from the similar BEST1306 BES2700 variant found with audio-focused development kits, the author assembles a BEST1503-compatible SDK and ports Doom to the band via the GBADoom project. The build reveals limitations: the display runs in single-bit SPI instead of quad-SPI and has limited color depth; the approach is likely to extend to Mi Band 9 as well.

Google shuts down 9-million-device residential proxy network tied to IPIDEA

Google's Threat Analysis Group dismantled a massive IPIDEA-linked residential proxy network that covertly turned up to 9 million Android devices into data exit nodes via bundled SDKs; with a federal court order, Google shut down the backend infrastructure, marking the largest such takedown. IPIDEA claimed legitimate purposes, but the system exploited Android permissions and wasn't traditional malware, highlighting the risk of SDK-based data flows and the dangers of downloading apps from sketchy sources.

"Apple's Vision Pro: Flight Restrictions and Gaming Limitations"

Apple Vision Pro, set to release in 2024, may have limitations when used at high speeds or in tight environments, with alerts warning users of unsafe speeds or proximity to objects. However, a "Travel Mode" will allow users to interact with the device on airplanes, albeit with limited inputs and the requirement to remain stationary. The visionOS SDK also revealed a Guest Mode and limited language support for the device. Developers can now download the SDK and apply for a developer kit, with labs opening in select cities for app testing.

Developers Can Now Build for Apple's Vision Pro with VisionOS Access.

Apple has released the software development kit (SDK) for its upcoming Vision Pro headset, allowing developers to create their own "spatial experiences" for the device. The company will open development labs in several countries for testing apps on the hardware, and teams can apply for dev kits to test their apps next month. The headset will come with a macOS-like Control Center and Spotlight Search, as well as a virtual keyboard and emoji keyboard. Apple hopes to have a wide suite of third-party apps available at launch in 2024.

Apple Launches Vision Pro SDK for Developers with Exciting Features

Apple has released its visionOS software development kit (SDK) for the Vision Pro headset, which is set to launch in early 2022. The SDK is built on top of the same basic framework as Apple's other operating systems, utilizing familiar dev tools, including Xcode, SwiftUI, RealityKit, ARKit and TestFlight. The company is hoping to lower the barrier of entry for existing developers and is introducing Reality Composer Pro to make it easier to preview 3D models, images, sounds and animation on the headset. Apple will also open developer labs in various cities next month to allow teams to test their apps on the hardware.

NVIDIA's AI and Path Tracing Technologies Enhance Gaming Experience.

NVIDIA has released a new DLSS Super Resolution SDK update with performance, optimization, and stability improvements. The update also includes the Frame Generation plugin, which could open up to user-made integration by modders. NVIDIA has shared informative videos on its YouTube channel dedicated to fellow game developers. The company has also developed Shader Execution Reordering (SER) to optimize the GPU's workload by grouping threads that accomplish similar tasks. The implementation of SER in Cyberpunk 2077's RT Overdrive mode has shown a 42% improvement in GPU time.
