ReMarkable tablet review
ReMarkable tablet Score Details “The ReMarkable tablet’s next-gen screen feels suprisingly like paper, but the tablet’s bugs, missing features, and price tag make it a little less remarkable.” Screen feels like paper Lightweight body Missing features Middling battery life Underwhelming performance High price tag MSRP $600.00 A low-power, no-frills tablet that mimics the look and feel of real paper sounds almost too good to be true, but that’s startup ReMarkable’s sales pitch. The eponymous ReMarkable tablet’s custom-designed screen lets you doodle, sketch, and write just like the Microsoft Surface Pro or Apple iPad Pro . But unlike most other stylus-touting tablets on the market, the ReMarkable doesn’t suffer from screen glare, lasts days without needing to recharge, and syncs seamlessly with your PC and phone — in theory, that is.

The Future of Vision: Augmented reality contact lenses will make you bionic
Technology is reshaping every aspect of our lives. Once a week in The Future of series, we examine innovations in important fields, from farming to transportation, and what they will mean in the years and decades to come. A decade ago, Google’s ambitions seemed unchecked: The company would design self-piloting cars through Waymo, sponsor moonbases , and even conquer death . One of the company’s plans: Smart contact lenses to measure the glucose level of your tears — and perhaps help reduce the damage caused by diabetes. “It’s still early days for this technology, but we’ve completed multiple clinical research studies, which are helping to refine our prototype,” wrote Google’s Brian Otis and Babak Parviz back in 2014. Seven years later, the company’s ego remains just as inflated, but Verily’s smart contact lenses are nowhere to be seen; the side project of Google parent Alphabet was officially abandoned in 2018. Yet smart lenses are finally becoming a reality, thanks to … [Read more...] about The Future of Vision: Augmented reality contact lenses will make you bionic

Samsung repeated that it will start selling these MicroLED TVs “for the … [Read more...] about Samsung reveals 76-inch MicroLED, adds TikTok to all of its 2021 TVs
911 hotlines are outdated, so Ginny Katz is building something better
In the grip of an emergency, the first move for many Americans is to call 911. The emergency response system has been around for decades, but like many institutions, it has struggled to keep up with technology. Call centers are easily overwhelmed in big emergencies, they often can’t track the locations of people calling from cell phones, and they’re vulnerable to hacking. An egregious example of this came in 2017, when a hacker used a malicious link on Twitter to hijack thousands of phones, forcing them to call 911 repeatedly, flooding call centers with false alarms. “I’ve been studying and working in disasters, diseases, and emergency management for over 10 years,” says Ginny Katz, founder and CEO of HazAdapt. “At the end of my master’s degree, I really began to dive into the tech because I thought we really need some better technology here, and it just seems like what’s on the market today is not cutting it.” This article is part of our continuing series, Women With Byte … [Read more...] about 911 hotlines are outdated, so Ginny Katz is building something better
