TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwanese chip maker MediaTek was ranked the fifth largest IC designer by revenue in the third quarter by market research firm TrendForce.

MediaTek saw its quarter-on-quarter revenue decline 11.6% to NT$152 billion (US$4.68 billion), according to TrendForce. MediaTek was hampered by weak sales numbers for the Chinese smartphone brand and clients who saw inventory corrections.

MediaTek experienced a decline in revenue from mobile solutions, smart edge platforms and power ICs in the third quarter. TrendForce notes that going forward, inventory reduction will remain MediaTek’s top priority.

Fellow Taiwanese IC designer Realtek, which ranked seventh in Q3, saw revenue decline 5.5% from the previous quarter to US$979 million. Realtek saw networking and automotive application sales remain steady in Q3, but as overall demand for consumer electronics waned, chips for computers, which account for 32% of its product mix, negatively impacted overall

While the world races to build skyscrapers that graze the heavens (we’re looking at you, Dubai), there’s a quiet revolution happening in the corners of society. The tiny house movement has gained an insane following since the early 2000s, pulling an increasing number of people toward a more sustainable and budget-friendly way of life through small living spaces. Why, you ask? Let’s just say that the sight of a tiny home, efficiently packed with every essential you can think of, can successfully make your heart skip a beat. Or two. Possibly a dozen. And we have a particularly soft spot for them.

But it goes deeper than just the feeling of living in cute, small houses. While the concept of simple spaces has a much longer history, the modern movement as we know it today took off in response to a combination of factors, including the financial crisis of 2007-2008,

An Interior Design Expert Clarifies The One Spot You Shouldn’t Put A Laundry Room

Basements are also typically far from the main area, which can make it inconvenient to access the laundry room. You won’t be able to just pop in to check the progress, and laundry becomes more energy-consuming than it needs to be when you have to carry full laundry baskets up and down the house. This inconvenience especially poses problems for people with mobility issues — older family members in the household who want to do laundry may not be able to do it safely.

Space allocation is another thing to consider. Basements often serve as multi-purpose areas, such as storage, recreational spaces, or home offices. Using it as a laundry room may take up valuable space that could be better utilized for other purposes. Another problem you can face when you put your laundry room in the basement is if you ever need to take out or bring in a

House Design

Floor-to-ceiling kitchen storage has become more popular over the last five years, have we all grown taller? No, but you will need steps or a ladder to reach that uppermost shelf! So why, the change in cabinet design?

As modern kitchens began to flourish in the 20th century, the concept of cupboard storage, multi-purpose shelves and units became more popular. Eventually, contemporary kitchen storage evolved to boast fitted cabinets and designer appliances as our kitchens became the central space for living inside the home.
