Porsche’s first Super Bowl ad in 23 years is for the electric Taycan

[ad_1] The ad isn’t terribly complicated. It starts with what appears to be a thief stealing the Taycan from Porsche’s museum in Stuttgart, and quickly evolves into a Hollywood-style chase with several more conventional cars (plus one tractor) in pursuit. While Porsche doesn’t talk much about the Taycan, there’s no question it’s the star. The […]

Microsoft gets the ball rolling on Surface Duo apps

[ad_1] People who want to write apps for the Surface Neo and Windows 10X will have to wait a while longer. Microsoft is planning to offer a pre-release version of the relevant Windows developer kit “in the coming weeks” through its usual Insider previews, with a 10X-ready emulator and programming interfaces appearing on February 11th.

Google helps publish the largest high-res map of brain connectivity

[ad_1] Anyone can see and download the data, and there are papers both available and on the way detailing the work. The brain map won’t accomplish much by itself. However, it could prove to be a treasure trove of data for scientists looking to understand fruit flies in particular or brain functionality at large. With […]

Alexa-powered Lego challenge winners include a game system and waffle iron

[ad_1] The other finalists are more… off the beaten track. Eric and Julie Hartye made Wafflebot, a connected waffle iron that uses Alexa to prepare and even dish out breakfast customized to your tastes.

SpaceX successfully completes Crew Dragon launch escape test

[ad_1] The recovery process is expected to complete two hours after this writing. As such, it could be a while before SpaceX learns whether or not the capsule landed properly, and whether the two humanoid test objects inside remained intact. This was the last big test before SpaceX could put humans aboard Crew Dragon and […]

Behringer clones more well-known synths from Moog and Roland

[ad_1] The RD-6, meanwhile, is a straight riff on Roland’s TR-606 drum machine. Behringer’s spin is familiar to fans of the ’80s gear on the surface and is even meant to pair with the TD-3 (a clone of the TB-303), but throws in a few helpful modern touches. You’ll find a built-in distortion unit, a […]

Björk and Microsoft use AI to create music that changes with the sky

[ad_1] The composition is the second in a larger series of “lobby soundscapes” created with the help of Microsoft and Sister City. The first was a piece from experimental artist Julianna Barwick that launched alongside the hotel itself in April 2019. AI-based generative music isn’t new. Arca (a Björk collaborator, we’d add) has produced an […]

Fujifilm X-Pro3 review: One peculiar camera

[ad_1] These simulations aren’t Instagram gimmicks and are often used by pro photographers. If you’d rather not muck around in Lightroom, they’ll give you a great, consistent look, in-camera. If you’d rather shoot with RAW and apply your own looks or treatments, Fujifilm’s 14-bit RAW files give you plenty of data to work with. Below […]

[ad_1] Gregorini further claimed that Shyamalan simply took her premise and put it through the “male lens,” with men looking down on a woman’s mental health issues and discussing the sex appeal of the nanny. Shyamalan, series creator Tony Basgallop and Apple ‘negated’ the experiences of Gregorini and other women involved in Emanuel (which had […]
