An unusual hybrid Called the Scenic Vision, the vehicle is a hybrid, but not in the usual sense. Its 215hp electric motor and 40kW battery are coupled with a 16kW hydrogen fuel cell. The car maker explains that by combining electric and hydrogen power, it can run a battery that’s twice as light, while offering the same range. And speaking of range, “once the network of hydrogen stations is large enough,” Renault says the Scenic Vision will manage up to 800km on a single charge....

That’s according to Startup Genome’s ‘Governments, Don’t Let your Startups and Scaleups Die’ report, which states that the recent drop in venture investments in China will help predict what will happen in Europe and the US. “While it took four quarters for the US Series A and B venture investments to drop from their peak by 30 to 48%, a few weeks ago we had already documented a drop of 50% of Chinese Series A investments....

According to the report, which covers the period from January 9 to 15: “Conversations about election fraud dropped from 2.5 million mentions to 688,000.” The use of hashtags related to the Capitol riot dipped considerably. #FightforTrump dropped by 95 percent. #HoldTheLine and “March for Trump” fell by 95 percent. Popular QAnon hashtags and phrases declined, but mentions of the conspiracy theory and its leader dubbed ‘Q’ increased by 15 percent....

Many of these whistleblowers are women – far more, it appears, than the proportion of women working in the tech industry. This raises the question of whether women are more likely to be whistleblowers in the tech field. The short answer is: “It’s complicated.” For many, whistleblowing is a last resort to get society to address problems that can’t be resolved within an organization, or at least by the whistleblower....

It has what you’d want from a good air purifier, including HEPA and activated-carbon odor layers as part of its 3-stage filtration process. It’s not too big — a perfect size for most apartments, and it features a relatively clean design that doesn’t stand out too much (though it could stand to be less glossy). The version I tested comes with Wi-Fi connectivity for a retail price of $299, but at the time of writing it is discounted to $239 on Coway’s website....

The game’s called Demeo and it was developed and published by Resolution Games. It’s a dungeon crawler that’s played from a first-person perspective. The player oversees the movement of miniatures (think: 3D models made to look like the physical figurines people use to play tabletop roleplaying games) in digital dungeon that sits on top of a virtual table. That might sound complex, but the best thing about Demeo is that the only thing you need to know how to do to dive right in is how to pick up a toy with your hands and play with it....

Look around you, all you see are… well, quite a lot, actually The brainchild of Cornell University Physicist William Edwin Gordon, construction of the 305-meter (1,000-foot) dish began in a natural karst sinkhole in Puerto Rico in 1960. Development of the revolutionary telescope continued for three years before work was completed. The Arecibo Telescope was constructed with a spherical dish, as opposed to the parabolic shape employed by most radio (and many optical) telescopes....

In 2015, an article in The Lancet medical journal pointed out that “Japan will be at the forefront of devising ways to tackle the social, economic, and medical challenges posed by a super-ageing society.” A high-tech innovator, the country is producing robots for people with dementia – to provide companionship, improve safety in the home, and help with therapy. Other countries are jumping on board with initiatives to incorporate service robots into dementia care....

It’s far from the first light-up keyboard around – I’ve already reviewed two of them on this very site – but it might just be the cleverest iteration of the concept yet. The Lumi came as a surprise when I sat down to chat with Roli a few weeks ago. The company had focused on its futuristic Seaboard concept – an innovative keyboard made of a continuous pressure-sensitive surface – that a more traditional keyboard seemed out of the question....

Also, when it comes to motorcars in the freezing and remote parts of the country, they favor reliability, repairability, and familiarity. Take the Lada Niva for example. It’s a super compact utilitarian vehicle, mostly used by hardy types on unforgiving terrain that don’t appreciate excess. It’s simple, it’s basic, and it’s remained largely unchanged over its 42-year-long life. Just in case you needed proof that Lada couldn’t give a monkeys about hyper-modernization, in December last year it updated the Niva and the most notable improvements was that it added a second cup holder and made the glovebox slightly larger....

Funds generated by Hydra’s initial coin offering (ICO), which is reportedly scheduled to begin December 16, will supposedly be used to expand operations to a global scale. According to CoinDesk, which cites an investment document hosted by the site, Hydra says it will issue 1,470,000 tokens sold for $100 worth of Bitcoin each, offering 49 percent of that supply to the general public. If purchased in bundles of 100, Hydra says it will provide buyers with 0....

Starting today, you can purchase the 120″ LSP7t for $3,499.99, or the 130″ LSP9T for $6,499.99. Those few extra inches will really cost you, it seems, but really that’s a function of other specs. In order to achieve a larger display while maintaining adequate brightness for the HDR10+ specification, the LSP9T needs a more powerful light source; the LSP7T is rated for 2,200 ANSI Lumens compared to the 2,800 of the more expensive model — the latter being the first HDR10+ certified projector on the market....

For those not familiar, Google recently teamed up with Samsung to rebuild Wear OS from the ground up, incorporating some of the efficiency features from Tizen (Samsung’s previous Watch OS) with the power and flexibility of Wear OS. For Samsung, the benefit of moving to Wear OS is obvious: there are just way more apps available, as no one wants to develop for a platform hardly anybody uses. The Galaxy Watch 4 is the more affordable option, at $250 for the Bluetooth-only version and $300 for LTE....

That means you probably can go around and unlock anyone’s Galaxy S10 phone. The device uses an ultrasonic 3D sensor to register your fingerprint and unlock the phone — or at least it’s supposed to. Samsung said it’s aware of the issue and will soon fix it through a software update. Till then, if you own a Galaxy S10, you should turn off the fingerprint unlock functionality, and use any alternative methods such as face unlock, or password to unlock your phone....

Instead of one large satellite, groups of small satellites can provide coverage of the entire planet at once. Civil, military, and private operators are increasingly using constellations to create global and continuous coverage of the Earth. Constellations can provide a variety of functions, including climate monitoring, disaster management, or digital connectivity, like satellite broadband. But to provide coverage of the entire planet with small satellites requires a lot of them....
