Microsoft discontinues underwater data centers

As of 2024, Microsoft no longer has active data centers underwater. If you recall, the tech giant had its experimental research and development called Project Natick . It was first proposed in 2013 to determine how an underwater farm server could help reduce cooling costs while promoting environmental sustainability. The first prototype was deployed during the initial phase in 2015, followed by a second phase in which hundreds of servers were submerged 117 feet below. By 2020, Microsoft declared that underwater data centers were reliable and practical. But it seems Microsoft is already ready to move on. Noelle Walsh, the corporate vice president at Microsoft’s Cloud Operations + Innovation division, confirmed that there are no plans to build more underwater data centers. She said her team worked on the project, yielded results, and gained knowledge about operating servers below sea level. The company will leverage the knowledge gained from the experiment and apply it elsewhere.

GCash to Maya: How to transfer money

GCash and Maya (formerly known as PayMaya) are two of the biggest e-wallet services in the country. So, it’s no surprise that a lot of Filipinos have an account on either one of them or even both.

This is why GCash has made it easier for its users to transfer funds to one of its biggest rivals, Maya. This is useful if you want to transfer money to a friend or family that’s using the other service. Or, you have an account on both platforms and want to distribute your funds for safety or when paying specific bills.

Using both services with one another has been hassle-free with QR Ph Codes, as users can scan a GCash QR code using Maya (and vice versa) for easy merchant payments.

Another similar but refined feature is the cameras. It still has four 50-megapixel shooters, however, the main one gets an upgraded 1-inch Sony LYT-900 sensor.
