I enjoyed this car more than any other car I've driven, and I've driven many cars, including exotics. But the death of my I-Pace showcases several ongoing problems with electric vehicles that still exist today.

This week, let's focus on three things we should begin discussing that represent some of the bigger risks of generative AI before substantial damage is done. The three issues are data center loading, security, and relationship damage.

One of the most interesting implementations of generative AI is the video synthesis model by DeepBrain AI, which can create a working digital twin of a human that can increasingly take on tasks that the human it mirrors would typically have to do.

As generative AI and other future forms of AI advance into cybersecurity, we will finally have the opportunity to mitigate the one security problem that continues to bite us in the butt: ourselves.

Let's explore why Nvidia's metaverse effort has been wildly successful while Facebook's became one of the most expensive failures in tech history. We'll close with my Product of the Week, a Chromebook from HP that may be the best Chromebook ever built.

Microsoft Makes Office Smart

Microsoft did last week what we expected it to do next year by putting generative AI called Copilot into Microsoft 365. This technology is potentially as big a game changer for office productivity as Microsoft Office initially was.

Lenovo has launched a new line of workstations co-designed with Aston Martin. They are impressive performers, using up to two of Intel's most powerful CPUs and up to four of Nvidia's most powerful professional graphics cards.

The Era 100 and Era 300 are Sonos' two new "better and best" offerings. Priced at $450, the Era 300 is the first Sonos speaker capable of playing spatial audio. In comparison, the $250 Era 100 is a wholly rebuilt successor to the Sonos One with several upgrades over its predecessor.

Let's look at five areas that will be changed dramatically by the influx of generative AI, some potentially for the worse. Then we'll close with my Product of the Week: the first truly wireless security camera -- with wireless broadcast power -- to hit the market.

Last week, I wrote about my longing for Windows users to have the same robust experience that macOS users have for accessing iMessage on their Mac devices. Intel's Unison app, now available on select Intel Evo-certified laptops from HP, Lenovo, and Acer -- and presumably more Windows laptops in the ...

How Puppy Linux Saved the Day

A work-at-home neighbor, meaning someone with no tech support handy, suffered a seriously malfunctioning computer just hours before a work project was due. Yes, it was Windows!

Along with Nvidia and Google, Mercedes-Benz is about to create a truly smart car that would maintain the relationship with the car owner and potentially be a far more friendly front-end to the company than people currently are. It promises a relationship with your vehicle that is more like a relatio...

Linux isn't any one thing, yet it also is. Its ability to mold itself to its hardware and use case context while maintaining a consistent internal structure is what Linux is.

Otherweb is a fascinating effort to help people get to the truth, not by moderating the fake news, but by helping you fact-check it yourself.
