In the patent filing " which is dubbed "Two-Wheeled Vehicle Crash Detection on Mobile Device" " Apple says it relates generally to using a mobile device to detect when a user has been in an accident while riding a two-wheeled vehicle. Apple notes that when a motorcycle rider is injured or otherwise incapacitated in an accident, the rider may be unable to use their mobile phone to call for emergency assistance. This is particularly dire if the accident occurs in a location where there are no bystanders who can assist the rider. The patent filing involves motorcycle crash detection on one or more crash devices (e.g., smartwatch, smartphone etc.). If the Apple Watch…...

8+ min ago (794+ words) One of the biggest tests I put it through was charging my LiveWire Del Mar electric motorcycle. That's not something most smaller portable power stations can even pretend to do, but with 3,600 watts of AC output and a LiFePO4 battery pack big enough to shame some city cars, the VTOMAN didn't blink to Level 1 charge me up. The inverter even seemed to handle the load easily, staying cool and stable the entire time. This is the kind of capability that's genuinely valuable: take it camping, trackside, or to a remote job site, and you actually have a real source of vehicle-level charging, not just a glorified phone bank. If that wasn't enough, I also put it to work on something even more unusual: my NESHER L1400 electric articulating loader. This is an honest-to-goodness electric tractor that I use frequently for work, so…...

This year it was the turn of my son, who wants to be able to play music in his room. I took advantage of a Black Friday offer, but part of me is wishing I had held out a little bit longer. That's because you can now get the Amazon Echo Spot at Amazon for $44.99 (was $79.99). That's a $35 discount and $5 cheaper than it was during Black Friday. The Echo Spot is one of the best Alexa speakers, with particular praise for its audio quality and compact design. There's also a wide range of customization options to make it feel unique to you. There's plenty of time to get this delivered for Christmas, but the deal is…...

SambaNova offers a full-stack AI platform that helps run AI applications both on private clouds and in data centers.Rumors around the deal started in October, but they seem to be getting more credible as time passes, especially with the two companies already having an existing relationship. Intel is a famous CPU maker, with many consumers familiar with the "Intel Inside" sticker on their laptops, referring to the Intel processors that still power the majority of the world's PCs today. The company employs over 88,000 people and is based in Santa Clara, California. INTC stock has nearly doubled over the past year, significantly outperforming the S&P 500 Index's ($SPX) 13.19% returns during the same period. These returns were mainly driven by the interest shown by President…...

20+ min ago (630+ words) Published : Dec. 12, 2025 - 05:30:00 New AI-focused strategy has to address key obstacles: power shortage, 52-hour workweek South Korea has mastered the art of building what the world designs. The question now is whether it can design what the world will need next. But these advantages alone are no longer sufficient in a world where value creation is shifting from hardware performance to algorithmic capability and system-level integration. The new strategy revolves around a bid for "AI semiconductor supremacy," supported by 700 trillion won ($476 billion) in projected private investment through 2047. Much of this capital is tied to physical expansion. Companies plan to build 10 new fabs and raise domestic production capacity to 7.9 million wafers per month. The government plans to spend 1.27 trillion won for AI chip R&D, back next-generation memory optimized for AI workloads and allocate 620 billion won for packaging and compound semiconductors, two…...
