China’s Gen Z investors are turning fund managers into social media stars

On a fan community page on Chinese social media platform Weibo, hundreds of users have posted comments and pictures, some covered in little red hearts, to express their admiration for a star they affectionately call Kun Kun. “Kun Kun flies bravely, iKun will always follow him; Kun Kun never gets old, and will remain a blue-chip till the end,” some users wrote alongside the picture. “Kun Kun,” whose full name is Zhang Kun, is neither a pop star nor actor. Instead, he is one of China’s most prominent fund managers who oversees around 120 billion yuan ($18.6 billion) in assets at E Fund Management, an established Chinese asset management firm. Zhang’s followers, who label themselves “iKun,” (“i” is a homophone for the Chinese word love), have also created accounts on Weibo posing as his “global fan clubs.” “Kun Kun, I would like to accompany you for many, many years,” a follower wrote. “Let’s witness both the bull and bear markets, but still return with young hearts.” ...

Google’s New Recorder App Has an Unofficial Workaround, No Pixel Required


null

When Google announced the Pixel 4, one of the things we were most excited for was the new Google Recorder app. It could transcribe your recordings live and offline! Around the world, journalists, students, and anyone who might need meeting transcripts raised their eyes heavenward and whispered a quiet “Thank you, Jesus.” The only hitch? The new app was exclusive to Pixel phones, starting with the Pixel 2. But now, there’s an unofficial workaround that should benefit most Android users.

The devs at XDA have modified the Google Recorder app so Android users with non-Google phones can take advantage of real-time, offline transcriptions. There are a few caveats and requirements. For starters, your Android phone has to run Android 9 Pie or Android 10. It also might not work as intended on some phones. According to XDA, the modified app should fully work on phones from Huawei, Honor, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, LG, and Sony Xperia so long as they meet the operating system requirements. The app partially works on ASUS, Oppo, and OnePlus phones in that you can get recordings but can’t view transcripts after saving. Xiaomi users are out of luck for now.

The devs do note, however, that in the case of the app only partially working—as with OnePlus phones—you can transfer the recordings to a Pixel phone to access transcripts. That said, if you have a Pixel on hand... you’d probably just use that instead.

Having used the Google Recorder app’s live transcription feature myself, I can say it’s a game-changer. It isn’t perfect and can struggle if you’re recording a conversation with a lot of technical terms or slang, but it’s a hell of a lot better than having to manually do it yourself

Vivo X30 Pro 5G camera samples showcase vivid zoom photos including 60X zoom

Vivo  finally took the wraps off the X30 models earlier this month with both models having spectacular features that distinguish it from the pack. The  Vivo X30 Pro  5G is the high-end variant and even though the 5G connectivity may be the biggest feature onboard, the device comes with an impressive camera setup including a periscope lens. We have now laid our hands on a couple of camera samples which showcases the prowess of the zoom levels on the periscope camera on the device. "> "> Vivo X30 Pro 5X zoom The first picture highlights a building at some distance which is barely visible without zooming. The camera sample at 5X zoom, 10X zoom, 20X zoom and 60X zoom. What makes this amazing is the lack of photographic noise on the samples as the object is zoom closer. Even though the 60X zoom sample is a little blurry, the text on the wall of the building can be seen clearly. "> Vivo X30 Pro 10X zoom

From Energy To Transport To Healthcare, Here Are 8 Industries Being Disrupted By Elon Musk And His Companies

Elon Musk is CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has plans to colonize Mars, and thinks AI may turn humans into its pets.

Elon Musk thinks and acts on a larger, more cosmic scale than we’re accustomed to from entrepreneurs. Elon Musk has become a household name synonymous with the future. Whether he’s working on electric vehicles (Tesla) or sending rockets into space (SpaceX), his larger-than-life reputation attracts its fair share of attention — and scrutiny.
