This week, DJI and Insta360 had a freaky Friday situation when they announced a 360 camera and one drone, the other is the other usually known for.
We also heard that Openai is afraid of his next AI, and the United Kingdom was facing the online Saftey Act.
You can get these stories and more in this week’s catching up of the seven largest tech news stories.
7. We found my Skechers
This week, Skechers debuted the new Find My Skechers. They look like your run-of-the-mill sneakers on the outside, but hidden in each heel is a cut that is perfect for an Apple Airtag.
This Bluetooth -Tracker can then be used to help you keep track of your child if you are out in an unknown place, or help you find any lost shoes, whether they were wrong while out and about or while ready in the wrong rush to get to school.
Even though we reconciled parents, the reactions were mixed. Mostly because the target age – toddlers and young children – grow out of their shoes every six months to one year. On their cheapest, my sketchers cost $ 52 per day. Pop, which is a lot to regularly postpone.
6. The UK was facing the online security law
This week, the UK was affected by the latest provisions of the Online Security Act and introduced age verification measures designed to help prevent young people from accessing age inappropriate content. However, the new requirements have frustrated many adults.
A petition to cancel the British online security law collected over 450,000 signatures in just a few days, and some have tried all sorts of solutions, including attempts to play the system with Death Stranding’s photo mode.
Most people are on board with the idea behind the rules, but are not eager to share their ID with sites – especially foreign sites – as they are concerned that their data may fail. Despite the concerns, the government has said it will not abolish the measures.
5. Google Homes crisis got worse
Last week, we reported a growing number of complaints about Google Home devices where Smart Home gadgets failed to handle commands properly or throw up other bugs.
This week it seems that the problem was getting worse, with many reporting their voice checks for smart lights were now completely destroyed and did not work at all.
The situation has become so bad that the US law firm Kaplan Gore has announced that it has “began to investigate a possible class” against Google because so many users are now reporting broken functionality, despite the fact that most of these devices have worked fine in the past.
4. DJI OSMO 360 landed
The 360 Camera Square has been dominated by Insta360 for years, but it finally has some proper competition after the arrival of DJI Osmo 360. What’s more they could soon be joined by GoPro Max 2, which was recently teased by GoPro.
Given that it is DJI’s first step in the market, the OSMO 360 impresses from bats and delivers what DJI says are several industries, the most notable are its twin 1-inch sensors with 8K video recording up to 50 FPS. These sensors are effectively twice as large as the Insta360 X5s, our current favorite 360 camera, and should provide DJI’s model with image quality, especially with richer 10-bit color depth.
Based on specifications, the OSMO 360 has the edge over the X5, but it is the real world use that matters the most and the X5 is our favorite model for a reason. It has Stellar battery life and its lenses can be replaced in case of damage. We are currently leading our practicalities against the two models and it creates a titanic match.
3. Insta360 revealed the world’s first 360 drone
DJI is not used to having competition in heaven, but this week its first serious rival flew into the city. The undisputed king of 360 cameras, Insta360, has announced its new Antigravity platform, which will soon give us the first drone with a 360-degree camera.
Okay, but what is the benefit of a flying, all-sighted camera? The most important thing is that in theory you do not have to worry about perfectly recording air videos while flying because you will be able to refresh them later. We look forward to experiencing it personally when the Antravity drone starts fully later this month.
2. Chatgpt helped us study
Chatgpt has added a new feature called Study Mode to its paid and free accounts that transform the famous chatbot into an unpaid study guide to your children. Parents often panic over the fact that chatgpt is used by their children to avoid actually learning something, but study state is different. It’s pretty safe for children to use because it teaches them how to arrive at the answer, rather than just giving them the answer. It is more of an interactive back and forth chat about the question asked, which encourages them to learn as they go.
Of course, you don’t have to let your kids have fun with it. You can use study mode yourself to learn any new topic. Having the ability to transform chatgpt into a proper tutor is pretty handy, so whatever it is, you will learn – whether it is a new language or how to cod – now you have the perfect excuse to get started.
1. Openai was afraid of its AI
Openai CEO Sam Altman revealed details of his company’s testing of GPT-5 (the next general brain for Chatgpt) by saying he was afraid of AI and compared it to the Manhattan project.
The over-the-top analogy may indicate a level of eager scientific minds coming to a major breakthrough, but his other comments made Openai seem either reckless or incompetent.
Even if he exaggerates, we do not know if any of these descriptions should be linked to the kind of company that may decide how the next generation of AI-Strøm is implemented.
