The Fnatic Jet mousepad immediately stands out from the crowd with its holographic design, but it’s the low-friction texture that has impressed me in the month that I’ve been using it alongside the Fnatic Bolt wireless mouse. As someone who usually opts for a more control-oriented pad, the speed of the Jet has been a challenge to get used to. Ultimately, however, I’ve been convinced that I prefer the speed boost for more effortless gaming. Smooth from the start A cylindrical tube houses the Jet mousepad, keeping it free from any bends. It’s a premium solution, but the extra protection…

Nio, the Chinese EV car manufacturer, announced that it’s working on a smartphone last year and rumors suggested it will feature a flagship chip and 100W fast charging. Now a benchmark scorecard confirms the premium SoC and suggest the phone itself is just around the corner. Nio’s upcoming phone stopped by AnTuTu giving Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip a chance to flex its computational muscle. The chip was paired with 12GB of RAM and 1TB of internal storage in the tested device. Interestingly enough, the handset’s performance is below the average SD 8 Gen 2 in our database,…
The jellyfish robot developed by the researchers. Credit: Muralidharan et al In recent decades, roboticists have been developing increasingly sophisticated robots inspired by nature and living organisms. By realistically emulating biological processes and animal behaviors, these robots can often navigate different environments and tackle real-world problems in highly effective ways. A research team at the Indian Institute of Technology Indore and the Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur recently developed a new bio-inspired robot that looks and moves like a jellyfish. This robot, presented in the International Journal of Intelligent Robots and Applications, could be used to remotely monitor marine life…
Keeping up with an industry as fast-moving as AI is a tall order. So until an AI can do it for you, here’s a handy roundup of the last week’s stories in the world of machine learning, along with notable research and experiments we didn’t cover on their own. YouTube has begun experimenting with AI-generated summaries for videos on the watch and search pages, though only for a limited number of English-language videos and viewers. Certainly, the summaries could be useful for discovery — and accessibility. Not every video creator can be bothered to write a description. But I worry about the…
647 Is there anything worse than being underprepared for a big work meeting? The reality is that there is a lot of money at stake if a client success manager or an enterprise account manager walks into a meeting with a client unprepared. If that client isn’t fully happy with the software — or they aren’t getting enough value out of it – it is likely they will churn and go looking for a better solution. But in the past, it has been nearly impossible for enterprise software companies to really know how a client is feeling about their product.…
Why it matters: The crypto boom caused a severe spike in PC graphics card prices throughout 2020 and 2021, and prices still aren’t where many users would like them. The current AI craze could have a similar effect as some companies report shortages, but Nvidia says the supply chain is more complex than many assume. Recent statements from AI companies indicate that the AI boom is increasing the demand for GPUs to the point where some report shortages. Nvidia claims its supply chains haven’t totally failed to meet demand but are encountering minor snags, somewhat allaying fears. Microsoft, OpenAI, and…

Oppo introduced the Reno10 trio in May, followed by an international unveiling several weeks later. We recently finished our Oppo Reno10 Pro review, and now it is time for the vanilla Reno10 to get the same treatment. Luckily, we got the Ice Blue variant, which has a nice overlay glow in all the colors of the rainbow, depending on how the light hits the back panel. The retail box features a 67W SuperVOOC adapter and a proprietary charging cable. The Oppo Reno10 is supposed to be an affordable midranger, but we are getting some premium vibes from the handset. Its…

A long time ago Sony joined forces with Ericsson to tackle the mobile market. They found great success with feature phones that focused on camera or music, the time with Symbian was interesting but less successful and eventually the pair settled on Android for their future devices. In addition to the devices it made with Ericsson, Sony released some devices under its own name in 2011 – a pair of tablets. This is shortly before Sony bought out Ericsson’s 50% share in the joint venture. The Sony Tablet S ran Android Honeycomb, the OS branch that was specifically designed for…
