Coruscate thoughts:

In the time of quarantine, where many businesses spent weeks on managing the work from home scenarios, Coruscate managed to WFH in just a couple of days with the help of ClickUp. 

ClickUp is a great deal for independent workers or small teams and offers enough key features for large enterprises. The prices are also very competitive as the features it offers for free are chargeable at its competitors. 

We believe that ClickUp may be a relatively new company, but it is well worth giving a shot.

As of 23rd march 2020, Covid-19 has crossed infected cases over 250000 across the globe. Apart from thousands of lives, this pandemic costs jobs and livelihood of people, which ultimately affects their life standards.

If you see the statistics of the outbreak, most affected areas (China, Middle East, South East Asia, Western Europe, clusters of the USA) represent nearly 50% of the global economy. Covid-19 is attacking the core of the economy-trade, supply chain, businesses, employment, etc.

According to the World Bank Group, the damage is already conspicuous.  With major public events and conferences getting canceled, travel and tourism industry saw a steep decrease in demand due to travel restrictions, manufacturers connected to global supply chains face disruptions, several companies are facing cash crunch which forcing their operations to scale back and lay off employees, MSMEs have very less capital compared to big companies so they are vulnerable to major economic shocks. So even if the outbreak is contained, the global output will be affected in the first quarter.

As local, state and national governments all over the world are insisting people stay home and maintain social distancing we have started to see the real-life impacts of coronavirus on economic activities.

You can see how traffic in various industries affected by the chart below:

#stayathome affected companies at large. Because business as usual is not possible.  Large scale quarterine and remote working definitely make the working mechanism less effective. Many companies even lack technology infrastructure to promote work from home.  Let us help you to find out how technology can be used in various industries.

How to keep pace with fast-tracking digitalization:

Coronavirus outbreak has forced some industries to go digital such as Healthcare, Education, Conferences, and events.

Remote working is also possible through many software offered by well-known technology companies without hampering the productivity of the firm.

Here are a few of them:

• Google is allowing special access to premium features of Hangout to meet for free to all G-suite and G-suite education customers globally.
• Microsoft offered a free 6 month trial of its top tier of Microsoft Teams to schools, business to be operated in a lockdown situation.
• LogMeIn gives free access to Emergency remote work kits to it’s all existing users and also free quarterly access to healthcare providers, educational institutions, municipal corporations, and NGOs.
• Cisco has expanded its free Webex services in the countries where it is available and provides a 24/7 assistance for businesses.

Do #workfromhome change the business functionality permanently?

Coronavirus outbreak has forced companies of any size to work on half-strength or completely remote working. The sudden increase of working from home has both opportunities and problems of its own.

Corporates are experiencing real quirks as creating large scale virtual infrastructure takes a lot of time and resources and apart from this shifting your entire workforce to VPN can surely hamper the usual business activities. Internet service providers are also facing some pressure to lift the cap on bandwidth so that employers find it easy to work remotely. There is always a chance of employees to get distracted and work might get affected.

Although working from home doesn’t change the regular work, it’s just working from a different environment. Millions of people get a chance to stay with their families and away from all the inflexibility of the traditional culture of work.

It looks like we are slowly moving towards remote working culture. Even if the crisis will get controlled, the working pattern might not get back to where it was. Employees also don’t get back to offices even after the closure is lifted.

But work from home is not equally effective for every industry, e.g. Education, construction, manufacture, etc. And sometimes even the introverts would feel the need for human interaction. Let’s not hope, but if the crisis gets extended for a longer period then there is a possibility of shifting permanently towards work from home.

Summing up:

Certainly, it’s important to note that coronavirus is way much more than digital marketing and business opportunities as the lives of people are at stake. We extend our condolences to those who are affected. The primary goal now is to minimize the spread of this virus. We are also working from home and we insist you guys distance yourself from public exposure and work from home. The sole purpose of writing this blog is to help people to go on with their life without affecting their work and find the business idea that helps people survive in this crisis.

Stay safe!

These newly introduced features are very compelling. But you must know what other things Catalina has in store for you. What purpose does Catalina solve? Well, Catalina is much more than just the average software update. It radically alters the apps you can or can not use on your Mac. So, there will be no headaches about the disturbing users striving to install OS upgrades.

After a long testing period that traversed 11 different developer betas that ran over the announcements of new iOS and iPadOS updates, Apple has officially brought macOS Catalina to the general public. Version 10.15 gets many important changes to the Mac operating system.

However, the developers have uttered pressing concerns regarding the influence it will have on both legacy apps and new app development.

macOS Catalina is the 16th significant update of macOS software. It has caused drastic changes visible in terms of Apple’s subscription services and authorized all to employ the iPads as a widespread art of Mac.

Let’s cover the different features and improvements that have been introduced with Catalina:

➯ No iTunes now:

 
As declared at WWDC 2019 by Apple, iTunes will not be a part of the Apple ecosystem now. The application is replaced by three different applications. They are Apple Music, Apple TV, and Apple Podcasts. The apps are supposed to focus on their particular specialties and present the best user experience.

The TV application will be receiving Apple TV + service. The app is presumed to be released on November 1.But the previous purchases and data for the users will not be removed. The users are still permitted to make iTunes Store shopping and reclaim their music library, watch movies and TV shows their shoppings, and listen to podcasts according to their choices.

➯ Device syncing via Finder

 
iTunes was used for syncing iPhone and iPads with Mac and taking a backup previously. But now since iTunes is removed from the Apple environment, Finder is said to do the job now.

The Finder app is available on the left side of the Finder window with almost the same UI. It will make the iOS app developers and users sync and get backup of their devices.

➯ Improved Security

 
macOS 10.15 Catalina comes packed with new protection to fightback data breaches and hacking movements. This new software update restricts the applications from accessing files, taking screenshots, and keeping track of keyboard usage without seeking users’ permission.

Gatekeeper is improved in order to analyze the applications for security purposes before they are being installed. Likewise, the macOS update also encourages Activation Locks. That means only users can erase and reactivate their Mac. At the same time, the users will be able to use their Apple watch to validate transactions, unlock locked notes, authenticate app installations, and access passwords simply by a double-click on the side button.

The Macs can send Bluetooth signals without being caught by the other Apple devices even if the devices are offline or in sleep mode.

➯ Screen Time

 
This is another very important feature of iOS 12 update which also comes with macOS Catalina.The feature will allow its users to get complete knowledge about their time being spent on any application or website. And
And subsequently, set App Limits and Downtime to reduce the obsession.

➯ SideCar

 
This feature of macOS Catalina allows the users to make use of their iPads as an expansive workspace. So, the users can now use an iPad display for drawing, sketching, or writing. It can be comfortably used in both wired and wireless connections. Thus leading to improved productivity level.

➯ Find My

 
The new macOS update has joined ‘Find My Mac’ and ‘Find My Friends’ apps and combined them into a single app called ‘Find My’.

The app allows users to search for their Mac even when it is switched off or has no internet connection. This is made possible through iPhones and other Apple devices. This has also made it easier and much more convenient to find your lost or stolen devices.

➯ Apple Arcade

 
Apple Arcade is a feature that is introduced to provide a refreshing look to your Mac. The gaming subscription of Apple will simply allow its users to experience games on their Mac. It also has made possible to get the assistance of wireless game controllers like Xbox Wireless Controllers via Bluetooth.

➯ 32-bit Apps dropped

 
As per the new update, Catalina will not support 32-bit applications. So, it is necessary for the iOS developers to upgrade their older 32-bit apps to 64-bit configurations.

If a Mac user is reliant on the 32-bit apps then you might experience loss of support on your device. Apple’s own Reminder app is available in iOS 13 and it is also not compatible with the previous versions in iOS or in macOS. If the reminders are needed to be synced then they all need to run on the latest versions of the app. Also, it is not only about the syncing of data, but user data can also be lost as well. 

Update: I have lived to regret it. I didn’t realize that #Catalina was dropping support for 32-bit apps, which means my Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) is no longer compatible and won’t open ? unless I purchase to the 2019 version of Office which means ??? https://t.co/ycQQzOs1SZ

➯ Catalyst

 
Another signature feature of macOS Catalina is Catalyst. It is Apple’s initiative to draw in iPad and iPhone apps to macs. Mac was previously codenamed as Marzipan. As of now, it is in its second stage out of three. Last year, there was an early version of Catalyst that enabled Apple available to cross-develop numerous iPad and Mac apps.

It is notable that the third-party developers also received access for Catalyst at WWDC.
Catalyst undeniably offers several advantages. It also enables developers to build one code base which is expected to operate across multiple Apple platforms.

Catalyst also helps iOS app developers to port the iPad apps on the Mac very comfortably. Many more tools and apps with Catalyst are anticipated to roll out soon although there are some other choices like GoodNotes 5, HabitMinder, and Carrot Weather are currently available and ready to use.

Thus, there are various ways in which Catalyst is forecasted to make custom iPhone app development much simpler and efficient.

Which Apple devices are eligible for macOS update?

Here is a list of basic requirements provided by Apple to check if the MacBook is eligible for macOS Catalina update.

— OS X 10.9 or later, 4GB of memory and 12.5GB of free storage space.

A listing of Apple devices that are qualified for macOS Catalina update:

— MacBook (From the year 2015)
— MacBook Air (From mid-2012)
— MacBook Pro (From mid-2012)
— Mac mini (From late-2012)
— iMac (From late-2012)
— iMac Pro (only 2017)
— Mac Pro (From late-2013)

Apart from these major features, Catalina also offers voice control option, revamped reminder app, and more.

It is remarkable that Microsoft announces this event as your primary guide to disruptive technology. They are also going to throw light on the fact about how it will impact people and businesses, today and tomorrow.

So, are you inquisitive about what Microsoft has in store for its diverse product lines? Then you should check out the annual Surface Event this year. We are anticipating quite a few announcements about the latest products Microsoft plans to offer.

The event will highlight presentations from several Microsoft executives. The discussions will be held about features and future technology and applications such as Quantum Computing and HoloLens.

Microsoft has been developing a new dual-screen device which is codenamed as Centaurus. They have been working on it for more than two years. The device is designed to be the master device for a surge of new dual-screen tablet/laptop combinations that will be developed throughout 2020.

Microsoft has demonstrated Centaurus during an internal meeting previously this year, indicating that work on the prototype has advanced to the point where it’s nearing release. But it is not certain that Microsoft will bring out this new hardware in October or even launch it.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has notedly shot off the Surface Mini just before its scheduled unveiling. The idea is not yet planned by Microsoft to show this dual-screen Surface device and so the devices won’t be ready to ship soon. However, with Microsoft’s plans, The Verge describes that the company is now targeting a 2020 release date for its dual-screen Surface.

The surface is Microsoft’s touchscreen personal computer, which is something in between a laptop and a tablet. It is actually something between a tablet and a laptop. The concept images imply that Microsoft is going to unveil a new Surface Pro complete with next-gen Intel CPUs, as well as an ARM CPU-powered “skinny” version.

Beside Centaurus, Microsoft will likely stimulate other Surface devices. The Surface Book is running late for an update. Microsoft’s Surface Laptop and Surface Pro hardware can now see the additions of USB-C ports this year. The Surface Go tablet is more than a year now and can opt for some change.

Microsoft is all ready to deliver the goods in the hardware season. In the past few years, there were a lot of new devices shown in the Big Apple this week.

Last year, Microsoft launched a new version of the Surface Pro. it had Laptop and Studio and added over-ear headphones to the lineup. This time out, we’ve already seen several slips that point to additional refreshes and a couple of big “surprises” in as much as the products in news can truly be a wonder.

What to expect from Microsoft Surface event- 2019?

There will be additions in the Surface Pro and Laptop both. Surface Pro 7 is getting an introduction to a new upgrade. They are possibly the most underwhelming of the event. They are also including a new Intel processor and a USB-C port. The company is making a great effort to bring the device somehow this year with new enthusiasm. The Surface Laptop 3, is going to have two choices in its design: a 13-inch and 15-inch inch model, along with, potentially, a new AMD processor.

Also with the Surface Pro and Laptop are both said to be getting refreshed this year, Microsoft is embracing the ARM for Windows 10 platform with its Surface line. There are expectations that they are planning to launch an ARM-powered two-in-one at the event. Among the advantages are a more modest footprint and far improved battery life — both marked benefits for any portable.

However, the biggest reveal of the show is the long-awaited addition of a dual-screen Surface. It has been a long time since Microsoft abandoned Courier. They are supposed to declare a new form factor for the line. There has been a rumor which includes a bespoke version of Windows 10 also named Windows 10 X. It points to the potential launch for the device later this year.

Lastly, we’re anticipating to see research on Project Centaurus. It is the much-awaited dual-screen, 2-in-1 device. Centaurus is assumed to be having a unique design. It could be either a foldable, tablet-sized device or a clamshell device with two screens and no physical keyboard.

Besides that, they are saying that the Centaurus will also run on a separate operating system known as Windows Core OS. It might not be possible to provide an actual walkthrough of Centaurus during the October Surface event, but people are expecting it to at least make an appearance.

How to watch the Surface event? – Microsoft Surface event live Streaming

The Microsoft Event is taking place in New York, starting at 10 am local time (3 pm London time).

According to a report in Techcrunch and Digital Trends, Microsoft is planning to broadcast the Surface Event. You will be able to catch the Livestream via Microsoft’s website for it. Also, once the broadcast is available, you can get to watch it on Digital Trends as well.

You can also follow the event on Twitter. Editor-in-chief Jeremy Kaplan and Computing Editor Luke Larsen will be present for the event, and the official Surface account will be updated as announcements are made.

We will keep you updated regarding any other official announcement for the Surface event and about the details of keynotes that will be shared in the Microsoft Surface Event.
