Sony, a powerhouse in the electronics industry, recently disclosed a 29% decline in operating profit during the fiscal second quarter, attributing the downturn to challenges in its imaging sensor business. Let’s dissect the key figures and projections that unfolded during this period.

Fiscal Q2 Overview:

In the September quarter, Sony reported a revenue of 2.8 trillion yen ($18.5 billion), showcasing an 8% YoY increase. However, the operating profit fell short at 263 billion Japanese yen compared to the expected 304.4 billion yen, marking a significant 29% drop.

Imaging Sensor Woes:

The crux of Sony’s profit decline lies in its imaging sensor business, with the chip division witnessing a staggering 28% decrease in profit. Sony, a major supplier of camera chips to tech giants like Apple, faced challenges as demand for its semiconductors, used in iPhones, experienced a downturn.

Sales Forecast Upsurge:

Despite the profit setback, Sony adjusted its sales forecast for the full year, anticipating total sales of 12.4 trillion yen, up from the initial 12.2 trillion yen. This optimistic outlook is fueled by positive foreign exchange rates, with the Japanese yen weakening significantly against the dollar.

Gaming Redemption:

The silver lining in Sony’s narrative emerges from its gaming and network services business. The PlayStation 5 console, games studios, and gaming networks are expected to outperform projections, buoyed by the success of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2. Exclusive to PS5, the game surpassed expectations by selling over 2.5 million copies in its first 24 hours, setting a record as the fastest-selling PlayStation Studios game.

PlayStation 5 Projections:

Sony reported selling 4.9 million PlayStation 5 units in the fiscal second quarter, a notable increase from the 3.3 million units in the fiscal first quarter. The company boldly projects the shipment of 25 million PlayStation 5 units in 2023, a crucial milestone drawing close scrutiny from analysts and investors.

Supply Chain Challenges:

Addressing past challenges, Eric Lempel from Sony acknowledged the supply chain constraints that impacted the availability of PlayStation 5 in 2020 and 2021. He expressed confidence that 2023 would mark the first year the console is “fully stocked,” overcoming previous shortages.

Financial Landscape:

Sony’s results follow a fiscal first quarter with a 33% rise in revenue YoY to 3 trillion Japanese yen. However, a 31% YoY drop in profit to 253 billion yen was attributed to weakness in the financial services and pictures division. Strikes by the Writers Guild of America and other unions, protesting the use of artificial intelligence in movie script generation, added to the challenges.

Future Strategies:

Sony anticipates the strike’s impact on the next financial year but is implementing cost control measures to mitigate it. The company looks towards the positive trajectory of its video game, music, and imaging and sensing solutions businesses for continued growth.

Sony’s fiscal journey unfolds as a tale of challenges and triumphs, with the PlayStation 5 emerging as a beacon of hope amidst profit woes. As the company navigates through industry shifts, it remains poised for growth and adaptation in the ever-evolving landscape of technology and entertainment.

The launch of the Himalayan 452 has cast doubts on the future of the Himalayan 411, which has garnered much praise from adventure riders all over the world. Reports suggest that the Himalayan 411 may be phased out after the Himalayan 452’s launch.

In 2016, the Himalayan 411 was introduced for the first time, gaining popularity for its excellent touring and off-road capabilities. It seems that with the arrival of the new Himalayan 452, the old Himalayan might be retired. However, the Himalayan 411 did have some shortcomings that affected the riding experience, but the company had introduced several updates to make it better.

The highly anticipated new Renault Duster is set to debut in the global market on November 29, 2023. To get a glimpse of what this new SUV offers, let’s delve into the details revealed in patent images.

New Renault Duster Design Insights

Patent images unveil that the new Duster is based on the bigger sibling, the Concept 4.6 meters long and a 3-row SUV. However, it exudes a more compact appearance, with a sleeker profile. The production model SUV features a high bonnet line, distinctive Y-shaped headlamps, and a slim grille that seamlessly integrates both headlamps into one unit. Below, a pronounced bull-bar-shaped bumper with dual vertical air vents on both sides adds to its appeal.

The new Duster shares a profile with the bigger model, showcasing square wheel arches, roof rails, and a rear spoiler. Notably, the company has added a tapering rear quarter glass design, complementing the original Duster’s look. In a stylish touch, the ‘B’ and ‘C’ pillars are highlighted in black color, creating a striking shadow line beneath the mirrors. The patent images also reveal the presence of stylish ten-spoke alloy wheels, which might be offered in the top variant. Furthermore, the rear door cladding may sport a unique design element. The V-shaped taillights at the back add an exceptional and distinctive look, removing the previous rear hunches.

Three Engine Options to Choose From

The 3rd-generation Duster’s global models will offer three new engine choices. These include an entry-level 120hp 1.0-liter turbo-petrol engine, a 140hp 1.2-liter petrol hybrid, and a 170hp 1.3-liter turbo-petrol engine. With the 170hp engine, the Duster is expected to be the most powerful version to date.

Additionally, the interior includes a single-pane sunroof, a rear parking camera, a new front armrest, and a redesigned center console.

Powertrain

The new 5-door Thar is likely to offer two engine options: a 2.0-liter turbo petrol and a 2.2-liter turbo diesel.

1. Google’s Inactivity Policy Update

Google’s revised inactivity policy, implemented in May this year, has significant implications for dormant Gmail accounts.

2. Account Deletion Process

Under the updated policy, any Gmail account left untouched for the past two years will face deletion, starting in December 2023. This includes all associated content like Docs, Drive, Meet, Calendar, and Google Photos.

3. Personal Accounts Only

It’s important to note that this policy is exclusively applicable to personal accounts. Accounts associated with organizations will remain unaffected.

4. Why is Google Deleting Accounts?

The primary reason behind this policy change is security. Accounts left dormant for extended periods are more vulnerable to compromise, especially if they don’t have Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) enabled. These accounts are still using outdated password protection methods.

5. Pre-Deletion Reminders

Google is taking steps to notify users with inactive accounts before they are deleted. Users will receive multiple reminders, including recovery emails, explaining the inactivity policy and highlighting steps to prevent their accounts from deletion.

6. How to Protect Your Account

To prevent your Google account from being deleted, engage with it regularly by:

• Reading or sending emails
• Using Google Drive
• Watching YouTube videos or sharing photos
• Downloading apps from the Play Store or conducting Google searches
• Logging into third-party apps or websites using your Google account

7. Exceptions to Deletion

Certain accounts are exempt from deletion, such as accounts linked to product or service subscriptions, accounts used for YouTube video uploads, accounts with monetary gift cards, or those associated with children’s accounts. Additionally, accounts used for app publishing remain safe.

By following these guidelines, you can safeguard your Google account and maintain access to your valuable content. Don’t let your account become a victim of Google’s inactivity policy.
