Global Waterproof and Rugged Smartphones Market 2018 – SONY, CROSSCALL, Idea Technology Limited, THURAYA, Sonimtech | Handheld Delivery Device

This is also true: Gina and I got approved for that loan last week, meaning that our monthly outlay, while not so minuscule that it can be drowned in Grover Norquist’s figurative bathtub, is now far more manageable, thanks in part to these daily journeys which I consider, in their minor way, heroic.

What it also shows is how people create things that never get shared with others because they will only release it when it’s ‘finished’, while they will never reach that state due to setting too high goals for themselves.

I did run some web-based benchmarks using the Edge web browser. The results weren’t great… and they also deviated pretty significantly from results that I’ve seen posted by other websites. So I’m not sure that web-based bechmarks such as Sunspider, Octane, Speedometer, or Kraken provide an accurate, consistent way to measure performance of Windows 10 on ARM devices.

The Osmo Pocket looks like another compelling product from DJI. The tiny, compact form, camera quality, intelligent features and creative potential make it a steal at $349. The folks at GoPro must be hoping this doesn’t turn into another case of bad karma, particularly as the camera company’s core products are (more expensive) smart action cameras just like this one.

The laptop also supports quick charging: Plug it in for 15 minutes and you should get a few hours of run time.

Industry 4.0 is an expansive concept, but it shouldn’t be intimidating. The solution could be something as simple as a photo eye that can monitor its own dirtiness and request a cleaning. That’s Industry 4.0, Sellars says, because it goes beyond ones and zeroes to the realm of situational awareness. Decentralizing this sort of awareness is another element of Industry 4.0, where logic is distributed instead of burdening the programmable logic controller (PLC) with all the data about whether a camera is dirty. The camera is taking care of that on its own, adjusting its parameters as less overall light is detected, and immediately reverting back to initial settings after a cleaning.

As the benchmarks revealed, the processor in this phone just doesn’t have the performance needed to drive it effectively. Some of the blame for this must be directed towards the PowerVR GE8100 GPU, which lacks punch when compared with the Mali G71 GPU that is paired with eight-core MediaTek processors.

And, aside from managing consultants’ workloads better, Tricorders could potentially make a much more significant contribution to medicine. Imagine an area — be it in rural Europe or rural Africa — where population density is lower, and the provision of medical care is even more sparse. Instead of having to drive for hours or even days to find a doctor the next time you take sick, a Tricorder in the home or local clinic could help you to decide whether you need to get to the nearest A&E or take a couple of aspirin and sleep off the fever.

We wish more video game adaptations were as innovative as Mission: Impossible for Game Boy. Based on the Tom Cruise movie series, the actual game itself is nothing to write home about. But it’s in the bonus features that the game gets really cool. Those features basically turned your Game Boy into a classic spy gadget. You can send texts to other players, save addresses, and calculate numbers. But the coolest feature is programming your handheld to your TV as a remote. It works too, scanning through channels and controlling the volume. That theme song is in your head now.

Rothberg also brought on board MIT alumnus, Kailiang Chen, SM ’09, PhD ’14, who worked to enable the transmitting/receiving circuit to talk to the transducer. Jason Gavris ’10 joined in Butterfly Network in 2016 to help develop the iQ’s infrastructure — specifically to make it easy to control the device with a single thumb.

Enter the the Surface Book 2: A laptop that transforms into a tablet at the touch of a button, and has the added bonus of not breaking all the time. I lay aside 10 years carefully cultivated Mac loyalty to go full-time with the Surface Book for seven days to find out more — and it reminded me that tech can be fun.

I’ll bet an enormous of work went into that GUI–I have a home-built alarm that is using (what I assume is) the same touch panel, and it takes quite a bit of fiddling to get placements and orientations correct when you’re putting your own GUI together, let alone getting it all to mesh to touching certain points on the screen.
