Traditional TV OLED tech, known as Tandem WOLED now, has always struggled with its brightness, measuring significantly dimmer than mini-LED TVs.Enter QD-OLED. Introduced by Samsung in 2022, QD-OLED adds quantum dots into the OLED equation, enabling very high brightness.

That’s paired with quad microphones for hands-free calls, and the ability to record calls and audio in your surroundings. We got hold of the Titanium version, which retails for €199, though Xiaomi is also offering browline and pilot styles, with the latter offering UV400 protection. The…

ChatGPT may be an excellent tool in case your strongly-worded email to your landlord about that ceiling leak needs a second pair of eyes. It also excels at coming up with a rough first draft for non-mission-critical writing, allowing you to carefully pick it apart and refine it. But like all of its competitors, ChatGPT is plagued by plenty of well-documented shortcomings as well, from rampant hallucinations to a sycophantic tone that can easily lull users into gravely mistaken beliefs.

We need to reinvent and rebuild the world’s factories, warehouses, supply chain and systems where AI and automation can integrate, move and track everything. We need to do this from first principles. We will have more than just a future of robotaxi. We will have roboeverything. In a future dominated by drones, Optimus-like humanoid robots, and autonomous vehicles (AVs) like robotaxis, robotrucks, and robobuses, the global supply chain evolves from a linear, human-dependent model to a hyper-dynamic, AI-orchestrated network. This shift leverages 24/7 operations, extreme speeds (100-150 mph for ground AVs via dedicated lanes or platooning), and robotic precision to…

When it comes to EVs, Volvo hasn’t been afraid to experiment. It’s tried repurposing a platform from its internal-combustion cars (for the EX40 and EC40, nee XC40 Recharge and C40 Recharge), a flagship SUV that’s also a technology demonstrator (the EX90) and a radical reinvention of its brand (with the EX30).
