The company recently raised an additional $750 million during its second round of funding, bringing its total so far to $1.75 billion just one month before its official launch on April 6. On the surface, Quibi looks ready to compete with the likes of Netflix, Disney, and Hulu. More realistically, it’ll be up against YouTube and TikTok, with 175 original shows made up of 8,500 episodes that will each last 10 minutes or less....
I’ve seen some masks that play on style and some on function — like this one with a Bluetooth headset. Last night, Razer showed off a new ‘smart mask’ called Project Hazel. The N95 mask has an active ventilation component for breathing fresh air. Plus, it’s transparent so others can see your mouth. The mask has an in-built mic and amplifier to convey what you speak clearly. And it’s a Razer product, so of course, it has RBG LED lights....
Insiders apparently leaked the details to both Eurogamer and VGC. The games won’t just be released on the Switch — they’ll evidently be remastered as well. The games in question include not only the aforementioned Sunshine — which I can’t wait to play, as I never played the original — but Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy. Nintendo was reportedly going to reveal this in a splashy E3 event, but now that E3’s gone the way of so many events in the time of coronavirus, we don’t know when it’ll release the details....
Vitaly Vanchurin, a professor of physics at the University of Minnesota Duluth, published an incredible paper last August entitled “The World as a Neural Network” on the arXiv pre-print server. It managed to slide past our notice until today when Futurism’s Victor Tangermann published an interview with Vanchurin discussing the paper. The big idea According to the paper: At its most basic, Vanchurin’s work here attempts to explain away the gap between quantum and classical physics....
But if I’m being honest, I never really loved them. They were definitely good speakers, and I did love the wireless version which used built-in digital signal processing to refine the sound, but the original LS50 always struck me as a little harsh and bright. The new LS50 Meta fixes all that. It is a remarkable little speaker that delivers some of the best performance I’ve seen for a speaker in this price range without DSP....
Ebikes are often the fastest and most versatile way of getting around cities, but their typically heavy and bulky frames often make them inconvenient to own in the very same neighborhoods. Most city dwellers don’t live on ground floors, nor do they have ground-level storage or indoor parking space. The weight and size of ebikes often mean you can’t use typical storage solutions like wall mounting. And the financial appeal for thieves means long-term outdoor storage is a no-no....
But did you know that the soaring gas prices in the US aren’t the result of the Ukraine war and the sanctions against Russia? Well, now you do thanks to our fellow conspiracy theorists, who believe that the Biden administration is using the war as a pretext to intentionally drive gas prices up. Why, you ask? To make you buy an EV, of course. Let’s take a look at what’s swirling around in social media....
Marcel Vos, the creator of the coaster from hell just one-upped himself, building a ride he’s appropriately calling “45 Years in Hell.” As you may have guessed from the name, Vos has now created a coaster nearly four times as long as his original — which he assumed was the longest ride possible within the game. This one would take 45 years to complete, if riding in real time. That’s a helluva long ride, and a boring one to boot....
The solution to this is surprisingly simple: you need a network switch. Without getting bogged down in too much detail, a network switch is a box that you connect to your router. On that box are a range of ethernet ports. And you can plug more things into those ethernet ports. It looks like this: And it’s utter magic. The other week I ran out of ethernet ports and had a couple of days where I was seriously scratching my head at what to do....
Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 3 and Z Flip 3, announced today at the company’s Unpacked event, might finally cross over into the mainstream. That’s in no small part due to a reduced price tag — a rarity in the phone market — of $1,799 and $999, respectively. For reference, last year’s models cost $2,000 and $1,450 at launch, so the Z Fold, in particular, has become a lot more affordable....

Wow! This is either the most advanced AI system in the entire known universe or it’s a total sham. Unsurprisingly, it’s a sham: There’s little reason for excitement. You don’t even have to read the researcher’s paper to debunk their work. All you need is the phrase “politics change,” and we’re done here. But, just for fun, let’s actually get into the paper and explain how prediction models work....
“The attackers exfiltrate specialized file types used by geographic information systems (GIS) software,” said ESET researcher Matias Porolli. “The group is specifically interested in files that describe navigation routes and positioning using military grids.” About 75 percent of the malware infections —all operated by Machete — were located in Venezuela, with other victims spread out across Ecuador, Colombia, and Nicaragua. First documented by Kaspersky in 2014, the Machete group has been active at least since 2010, focusing on a variety of targets across Latin America....
Slack, the group messaging tool has undoubtedly revolutionized the workplace, defining itself as a collaborative tool that encourages openness within teams regardless of the company size. It’s now easier than ever to stay in touch with colleagues, whether you want to or not. Earlier this year, Caroline Sinders, an internet researcher, received a message from a friend asking whether it was possible to block someone on Slack. She had been sent multiple “creepy” messages from a co-worker who had also made her feel uncomfortable offline in the office — and this wasn’t the first time Sinders had been asked this....
