One is almost operational in Queensland at the Townsville gas-fired plant, which Siemens Energy is converting into what it calls a “hybrid rotary grid stabilizer”.

Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 review: Is it a real MacBook Pro competitor?

Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16 review: Is it a real MacBook Pro competitor?

✨ Check out this insightful post from WIRED đź“– đź“‚ Category: Gear,Gear / Reviews,Gear / Products / Computers,Product Review 📌 Key idea: We shouldn't expect any Windows laptop with a powerful discrete GPU to replicate what the MacBook Pro does. Yes, there are more powerful systems, but efficiency is not what these systems are about. Even with the improvements Nvidia has made in Advanced Optimus (automatically switching between the discrete GPU when needed), battery life suffers, especially while running heavy apps. In our local video playback test, the Yoga Pro 9i 16 lasted about 12 hours. Despite using the same…

Amazfit T-Rex 3 Pro review: External watch that does not work

🚀 Explore this trending post from WIRED đź“– đź“‚ Category: Gear,Gear / Products,Gear / Products / Outdoor,Gear / Reviews,Product Review âś… Key idea: Offline guidance is supposed to be one of the tagline features of this watch. You should be able to just choose a point in the Maps app on the watch, then choose straight-line navigation or route navigation. Unless you're in a wide-open field, a straight line won't help you much, but the Route Navigation feature should analyze the Watch's ability to read roads and lanes to get you where you want to go.Then you can choose between…

Satellites leak the world’s secrets: calls, texts, military and corporate data

đź’Ą Explore this awesome post from WIRED đź“– đź“‚ Category: Security,Security / Cyberattacks and Hacks,Security / National Security,Security / Privacy,Security / Security News,Don't Look Up 📌 Main takeaway: This suggests that someone could set up similar devices elsewhere in the world and potentially obtain their own set of sensitive information. After all, the researchers limited their experiment to only off-the-shelf satellite hardware: a $185 satellite dish, a $140 ceiling mount with a $195 motor, and a $230 tuner card, for a total of less than $800."These were not NSA-level resources.

Mark Zuckerberg wears one. So does Jack Dorsey. Prince Harry too. But when Oura's chief commercial officer at the Elevate conference in Toronto sat down with this editor last week, she surprised me by saying that the company's fastest-growing user segment isn't tech billionaires or wellness-obsessed CEOs. They are women in their early twenties. It highlighted an interesting moment for Oura. The 13-year-old Finnish health tech company invented the smart…
