When I added an Echo Dot to our home to see how it would compare with my HomePod Mini, I was pleasantly surprised right from setup by a feature Alexa had that Siri did not: a multilingual mode for both Spanish and English. This makes it possible for the Echo device to not only understand commands in both English and Spanish, but to also respond in each language accordingly, depending on which one you used to make the command....

The solution is called Nixie, and the company claims it can increase sample rates by 75% while reducing costs by 90%....

At an energy conference in Norway, Musk said he hopes for a wide release in the US and possibly Europe by the end of the year, with the timeline dependent on regulatory approval. This means you might be able to get your hands on a self-driving vehicle by Christmas. “The two technologies I am focused on, trying to ideally get done before the end of the year, are getting our Starship into orbit … and then having Tesla cars to be able to do self-driving,” Musk said, according to the Reuters report....
In a series of tweets Musk said Apple ‘puts a secret 30% tax on everything you buy through their App Store’ and said Apple has threatened to “withhold” Twitter from the App Store. Apple does charge between 15 and 30% for in-app purchases, but this cost is well known and not a secret. Musk also says Apple has “mostly stopped advertising on Twitter”. “Do they hate free speech in America?...
A lot of machines can cost thousands, like the Jura S8 smart coffee maker. While the S8 makes a great cup of Joe, I wanted something within my price point. The Gevi espresso machine allows me to make up to two shots of espresso, and at $119, it’s affordable. It also can foam up milk with a special frothing wand, so if you’re not feeling a cappuccino and want something a little more milky and creamy, you can make a latte for your morning buzz....
In fact, AISG had adopted the country’s Model AI Governance Framework since it was introduced in 2019 into its processes, and provided a simplified version that its apprentices and engineers could follow, said Lawrence Liew, AISG’s director for AI innovation. Launched in 2017 by the National Research Foundation, AISG is a national programme that aims to build AI capabilities and demonstrate how AI technologies can be applied to daily lives and boost efficiencies for businesses....
It’s all very well being bathed in the soothing tones and attitudes of current Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, but there was something so oddly raw about the way Ballmer shrieked his way through the days. Since leaving Redmond, Ballmer has done many things. Perhaps the most elevated is his ownership of a somewhat second-rate NBA team, the Los Angeles Clippers. (Disclosure: Golden State Warriors fan.) Ballmer has tried his very hardest to make the team both relevant and involving....
Construction accounts for 13% of the world’s GDP, but while other traditional industries, like manufacturing, have increased productivity over the years, productivity has remained almost stagnant in the building sector. According to the European Commission, construction productivity has only increased by 1% in the past two decades. And with operational profitability often being only 5%, there is little room for error. That’s led to a boom in technology development in the space to increase efficiency....
The FBI’s Internet Crime Center (IC3) logged a whopping 241,206 complaints in the four-and-a-half-year period, with losses totaling $43 billion, according to a new public service announcement. BEC fraud was the biggest category of cybercrime by financial losses in 2021, according to IC3. BEC cost businesses $2.4 billion in 2021, up from $1.8 billion in 2020. SEE: Google: Multiple hacking groups are using the war in Ukraine as a lure in phishing attempts US losses recorded by the FBI are much larger than losses reported by victims in non-US jurisdictions....
An increase in such incidents has led to FBI warnings aimed at “parents and caregivers” of young boys, particularly. An increasing number of reports received by the FBI include information that suggests that adults are posing as young girls to coerce young boys not only for personal pleasure but for monetary gains. This activity is defined as a sextortion scheme. Increasing Reports of Sextortion Targeting Young Boys Increasing reports are cropping up of adults posing as young girls online to attract young boys “to produce sexual images and videos,” otherwise known as CSAM abuse material, as well as later extorting money from them, the FBI said....
The survey, which gauged nearly 10,000 consumers across Mexico, Singapore, UK and US, suggests that the force behind the shift toward crypto as a form of payment is a frustration with the current financial system for transacting money between developed and emerging countries. More than half of the people surveyed – 53% – said they felt they paid too much in fees for international remittances via traditional financial means, such as wiring fiat currencies, while 37% said they didn’t know what they paid in fees....

Also: My 5 travel must-have devices for work travel To be clear, I don’t mind flying. It’s fine. But I do not enjoy the process of traveling to the airport, figuring out which gate my flight is at, and worrying about whether or not my flight is on time. It’s a miserable experience. For years I’d used TripIt as a way to organize my travel plans. And with a TripIt Pro subscription, I received timely alerts about gate changes or delays....
Today, Jabra is back with the new Elite 4, a successor that continues to carry out its more-for-less mission, but now for $99. It’s more expensive than its predecessor, but with the addition of ANC, Qualcomm aptX support for lossless audio, multipoint connection, and up to 28 hours of battery life, the new buds are arguably just as disruptive to the premium audio market as the last. The Jabra Elite 4 keeps the same ergonomic design as the Elite 3, requiring a twist-and-lock mechanism to ensure a snug fit....
In the case of Yoga 9i, reviewed above in the video, there is a decent excuse for it due to the device needing to make room to house its pen, but in the case of a 8th generation X1 or second generation E15, there is no excuse. In both of the latter cases, it almost feels like Lenovo is setting out to keep laptop design stuck in the past with the inclusion of a standard USB-A port as the only USB port on the right hand side – clearly the wiring is able to handle it, just hook us up with a newer port....
Review: Garmin’s Enduro 2 is the ultra sports watch to beat Garmin just announced the Index BPM smart blood pressure monitor and as soon as I received the announcement email I placed an order for one of the monitors. I’ve been using an excellent Withings BP monitor, but since I am so embedded into the Garmin ecosystem I wanted to either include my Withings readings or have Garmin launch its own so I almost feel like this was made to answer my request....
