Have you ever felt a creeping sensation that someone’s watching you? Then you turn around and you don’t see anything out of the ordinary. Depending on where you were, though, you might not have been completely imagining it. There are billions of things sensing you every day. They are everywhere, hidden in plain sight – inside your TV, fridge, car and office. These things know more about you than you... Read more ›

It’s been almost a week and I’m still thinking about Apple’s Studio Display. This isn’t because I adore it (although I do), it’s because I’ve seen the light and I know what the company needs to do: release a $500 monitor called the Apple Display. I can feel you salivating at the thought of that. Before we get into the specifics, let’s backtrack and talk about Apple’s just-released Studio Display... Read more ›

As the EU is moving towards the world’s first legislation on connected cars, the fight over access to vehicle data is intensifying. Should automakers hold all the power or should data be democratized amongst various stakeholders? In an intriguing piece, Reuters’ Nick Carey details how the EU’s future rulings are setting car makers against a coalition of insurers, leasing companies, and repair shops in the battle to own data generated...

Imagine a cup of tea. Wrap a piece of string around the circumference of the cup, and measure the length of the string. Then, lay your spoon on top of the cup, making sure it lies across the center of the cup, and measure the length from side to side – the diameter. Finally, divide the circumference by the diameter, and record the result. Next time you eat soup, repeat... Read more ›

Covid-19 has opened the world’s eyes to the benefits of remote and flexible work, and many aren’t looking back — according to a survey by workplace platform Envoy, 71% of employees would choose a hybrid work model, only 12% want to work remotely every day, and just 16% want to work full-time in the office. Until now, technology hasn’t quite been able to keep up with this change of attitude... Read more ›

It’s hard to take a few breaths on the internet without hearing about Web3 lately. However, it’s not as accessible or ubiquitous as it might sound. Some Web3 properties and services require you to understand the moving parts involved, such as your cryptocurrency wallet, dApps (decentralized apps like the OpenSea NFT marketplace), and the blockchain they operate on. While this may sound complex (and some of it is), large chunks... Read more ›

This article is part of our coverage of the latest in AI research. What is the next step toward bridging the gap between natural and artificial intelligence? Scientists and researchers are divided on the answer. Yann LeCun, Chief AI Scientist at Meta and the recipient of the 2018 Turing Award, is betting on self-supervised learning, machine learning models that can be trained without the need for human-labeled examples. LeCun has... Read more ›

By: Alfred Ng and Jon Keegan There is an estimated $12 billion market of companies that buy and sell location data collected from your cellphone. And the trade is entirely legal in the U.S. Without legislation limiting the location data trade, Apple and Google have become the de facto regulators for keeping your whereabouts private—through shifts in transparency requirements and crackdowns on certain data brokers. Specifically, the app stores have... Read more ›

We’re now years into this great experiment in remote work. It started off as a Zoom, but now it feels more like a plod. Our work lives are lived on camera all day, every day—and it’s time to let people take a break. Face-muting is ok Communicating remotely isn’t new. For ages, we corresponded by mail. Then we added telegraphs, which increased the speed of communication. Then came telephones, which... Read more ›

Today, we conduct more activities online than ever before: paying bills, buying... Read more ›

Baseball’s back and I couldn’t care less. What I’m excited about is the world champion Atlanta Braves’ new virtual stadium. A company called Surreal Events is working with the champs to bring a virtual representation of Truist Park to life via a virtual platform-as-a-service model built in the Unreal engine. As boring as that sounds, the emergence of an interface-agnostic portal to bespoke metaverses might be what finally convinces the... Read more ›

“Orwellian” references are invoked to the point of cliche, but big tech sure makes them hard to resist. The latest temptress is Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta. In a move redolent of 1984’s Two Minutes Hate, the company has temporarily permitted calls for violence and deaths. The social media behemoth has provisionally permitted hate speech in certain Facebook and Instagram posts. There’s no need to worry, however; the malice can only target... Read more ›

The electric transformation of Volkswagen’s iconic T1 microbus has been in the making for five years — a decade if we count the various Bulli concepts VW has consistently teased us with. Now, the VW ID Buzz has finally made its debut as an all-electric, multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) and cargo van. Was it worth the wait? ABSOLUTELY. Feast your eyes! On the left, the ID Buzz. On the right, the... Read more ›

One year ago, an artwork was sold for US$69 million (£52.6 million) by the prestigious auction house Christie’s. This was no lost Matisse or rarely seen Van Gogh. Instead, it was a composite collection of digital art by the then relatively unknown artist Beeple. What makes this piece, Everydays: the First 5000 Days, truly remarkable, is that it was sold as a non-fungible token (NFT). In the year since that... Read more ›

The Andean highlands of South America — where Chile, Argentina, and Bolivia meet — is also known as the “Lithium Triangle,” as the region contains more than half of the world’s supply of the valuable metal. This has attracted numerous mining companies, with their focus especially on one lake in northeastern Chile called Salar de Atacama. This is estimated to contain almost 30% of the globe’s known lithium. The so-called... Read more ›

On March 1, the Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine, Mykhailo Fedorov, made an appeal to eight commercial satellite operators. “Russia is bombarding our cities every day and night and so many civilians are in danger,” Fedorov wrote in a letter shared on Twitter. “We badly need the opportunity to watch the movement of Russian troops, especially at night when our technologies are blind in fact!” Fedorov urged the companies to...

It isn’t every day you stumble across the weirdest robot ever. But if you can guess this little machine’s function just by looking at it, you’ve officially won the internet for today: My, what an interesting shape for a hand-held robot. No, it doesn’t vibrate. But you’re close. The researchers call it “OMOY: A Handheld Robotic Gadget that Shifts its Weight to Express Emotions and Intentions.” Apparently, its purpose is... Read more ›

The invasion of Ukraine has triggered a significant digital shift for Russia. Sanctions imposed by governments around the world – together with company closures or mothballing – have significantly impacted the country. A plethora of events have escalated the invasion into the digital world, with cyberattacks, cybercriminals taking sides, and even an IT army of civilians being mobilized by Ukraine. The sanctions imposed on Russia have not only directly hit... Read more ›

With rising fuel prices in many countries, owning an EV probably feels like a smart move lately. But buying a new car isn’t cheap, and the delay in mass EV production means even second-hand EVs are retailing at massively inflated prices. So, if you’re still driving an ICE vehicle, here are some tips and resources for preserving your fuel intake through the practice of hypermiling. What is hypermiling? Hypermiling (also... Read more ›
