Being able to configure hardware options from the system tray using an applet is much easier than searching numerous hardware settings from the Unity Dash or the Classic start menu in Ubuntu. There are a number of applets which provide the functionality to manage one or two kinds of hardware related settings from the system tray, however, their functionality is quite limited. Jupiter
is an app-indicator applet for controlling power and hardware options of portable Linux computers. It provides quick access to common power and hardware options so that you can toggle settings to keep your laptop resource consumption to the minimum. The available options include settings for power, screen output, resolution, Wi-Fi , and Bluetooth. What makes Jupiter useful is the fact that it allows the utility to manage multiple hardware settings from a single system tray menu.
brings extra memory power management options to Windows Power Plan Advanced Settings which is accessible from Power Options. These options provide the utility to monitor short memory history, channel power history, backoff channel heat break tolerance, backoff idle utility threshold, and so on. It can help you specify power management settings for your computer’s memory.
Looking for a laptop battery power manager that can efficiently manage the power plans and allows you to tweak the power profiles? Meet Power Plan Assistant
. It is a free Power Management tool developed for Windows 7. Instead of changing the basic power management feature, it adds additional features which enhances the overall power of your laptop/netbook running Windows 7. So is it a Battery booster? No, but it helps increase the overall life of the battery. With this tool you can automatically switch between Windows default power plans – High Performance, Balanced, and Power Saver.
We have previously covered PC battery power management tools that allow you to keep a check on your laptop battery. Among them so far our favorite has been Battery Bar
, but now a new contender has come that aims to be totally flexible and fully configurable, and yes it also supports Windows 7 / Windows 8 Aero Glass. BattCursor
is a free battery management utility that aims to replace the default Power functionality that comes with Windows 8 and Windows 7. The application is highly customizable in terms of changing battery level indicator, system tray symbol, battery icon colors, power profiles, and battery level notifications. Read past the jump for details.
Battery Bar is a free tool for Windows that sits on your taskbar and monitors your laptop battery in real time using a unique algorithm. Many battery monitoring tools are not accurate, but what makes Battery bar different is that it takes a whole new approach. It constantly monitors your laptop battery and keeps it’s historical data. Using this historical data, it can provide you with a very accurate estimate of how much time is remaining on your battery.
Once you have installed this tool, right-click your taskbar, select Toolbars and select Battery Bar from the list. Read More
The build-in power meter in Windows is totally crap, after fully recharging your laptop it will tell you that battery is full, but after a few minutes it will say only 75% is left. What the heck? Can’t there be a simple and reliable way to monitor laptop battery? There are many apps that help you in determining the accurate amount of power left, but the problem with these apps is that they themselves take a good amount of resources to run, which makes them basically useless.
is a free tool for laptop users who wants to monitor their battery level accurately all the time. The battery bar becomes more visible as the power level reduces, when the battery is full the visibility is at it’s minimum, you can choose to hide the bar when battery is full.
To help conserve battery power and save your documents while you away from the laptop for an extended period of time you should use the automatic hibernate capabilities of your laptop. Once you have made these changes your laptop will always go into hibernate after a set time.The secret behind hibernation is that before you turn off the laptop, everything you are doing with the computer is saved. When the computer is turned on again, it recovers from hibernating by reloading all the saved information and restoring your laptop to exactly the same condition it was in before it went into hibernation.

By default, when you click the Power button in the Start menu, it goes into Sleep mode.
To turn off your Windows Vista system, you’ll have to click the arrow (next to the Power button), and select Shut Down
in the drop-down list. If you find it tedious, you can change the Power button action in the Start menu to Shut down the system or place into Hibernate mode.
This guide was originally written for Windows Vista, but the same steps are applicable for Windows 7 as well.

These days innovation plays a very vital role in every field and the adoption of digital technologies also plays a significant role in the way farmers treat crops and manage their entire activities in the field. There are several challenges in the agriculture field from the cost of the raw materials used to the shortage of labor. There is an increase in the need for solutions that would help people gain good output. Major new agriculture technologies in the field of agriculture are focussing on areas such as vertical farming, precision agriculture, livestock farming technology, modern greenhouse, blockchain, and artificial intelligence.
Livestock farming is the concept of using a set of electronic tools to manage livestock. This indulges automatic monitoring of animals so that their reproduction, production, and health can be improved. This includes new technology concepts such as signal analysis and statistical analysis. With the help of information technology, farmers can record numerous parameters such as age, production, feed conversion, health, growth, etc.
Vertical farming is something that is very commonly known and a great output-yielding technique. This technique is the practice of growing crops on vertically stacked shelves or layered plates. It is predominantly known as controlled environment agriculture which aims to increase plant growth and produce great output. Techniques such as hydroponics, aquaponics, and aeroponics are involved. Vertical farming is done commonly in buildings, shipping containers, tunnels, and abandoned mine shafts. Vertical farming combined with other technologies like specialized LED lights has proved that the results are 10 times the crop yield of traditional farming.
Precision agriculture is a concept of observing, measuring appropriately, and responding to inter and intra-field crops. Precision agriculture aims to define a decision support system for the entire farm management and organization. The main motive behind this was to optimize returns and preserve resources. Precision agriculture is said to be a key component of modern agriculture in the third wave.
The greenhouse is not very new, but yea adding a few modern touches as a topping has given great results for sure. As known greenhouse plays a very important role in global food production. Technologies such as intelligent automation, self-sufficient water system, optimized lightning levels, cooling technology, and strategic shading. Automation in the irrigation system, sensors to understand the pH levels, and software to understand the climate help farmers in a great way. When it comes to saving water and reusing it there are several instant automatic irrigation systems used. As known light is a very important part of farming, the modern light spectrum can again help farmers to the maximum extent.
There are numerous automation happening even in the field of agriculture. There are technologies used along with rapidly increasing applications of robots or drones in the field. Few other automation namely weed control, cloud seeding, seed harvesting, environment analysis, and analysis of soil. According to researchers the use of robots in agriculture may rapidly increase and reach the billion-dollar mark by 2025.
Blockchain in agriculture predominantly enables traceability of information in the food supply chain. A great ability to store and manage data traceability plays a key role in agriculture. It can be used to track all the details of the plants. The details include the quality of the seeds, how can crops grow, and yield results. This data can be used to bring transparency to the entire supply chain and help the farmer to understand the end-to-end process and to decrease the issues concerning unethical production.
In the journey of farming, everyday farmers produce thousands of data points concerning plants, temperature, usage of soil, water, fertilizer, etc. Artificial Intelligence and machine learning in place can greatly help them to get the real-time data to obtain useful insights with the help of which they can choose the right crop during the right season and so on. AI helps farmers to increase the overall crop yield, harvest quality, and accuracy as well. It also helps in identifying health issues in plants, pests, and insufficient nutrients to plants. This helps save costs and reduces the usage of herbicides. Sensors combined with artificial intelligence can help detect weeds as well.
As discussed previously many companies have developed robots that can identify weeds and can precisely spray on them to reduce the weeds and improve plant health. It is proved that usage of robots has decreased expenditure on herbicide by 90 percent and has eliminated 80 percent of weeds as the required chemicals are being sprayed at the right time post detection.
So these are a few modern technologies used in the field of farming to boost the growth of plants and rapidly increase the output.


Hey! Listen! This post is part of a series on the DeskMini H470 as a hypervisor. Check them all out!

|2022-09-02||Adding data center SSDs to the DeskMini H470||Add 2x Intel D3-S4510 to the DeskMini H470|
|2021-06-23||ASRock DeskMini H470 as a compact hypervisor||Initial post about DeskMini H470|
My hypervisor since 2017 has been an Intel NUC7i3BNH. It has a 2c/4t 15W laptop CPU (Core i3-7100U), with 2x 16GB Crucial DDR4, and a 512GB Samsung 860 Pro. While it served me well over these years, I’ve outgrown the CPU and cooling solution.
The search for a new hypervisor
Size, noise, and power
As outlined in my homelab mini-rack post, my homelab devices (router, switch, AP, NAS, and hypervisor) all sit on the bottom shelf of the entertainment center in my living room. Because of this, everything needs to be small, quiet, power efficient, and have a high WAF.
When searching for a new hypervisor, my first requirements were size, noise, and power draw. Luckily for me, ServeTheHome has an excellent series called TinyMiniMicro where they review Lenovo Tiny, HP Mini, and Dell Micro PCs as servers. The ServeTheHome series gave me a great insight into the differences between manufacturers and models, as well as a starting point when looking for ultra-small form-factor (USFF) PCs.
AMD vs Intel
Normally, I would recommend AMD for almost any application, since the cores-per-dollar ratio is so good. However, in this case, one of the applications I will be running is Jellyfin, which can greatly benefit from hardware-enabled video transcoding. While AMD has its own hardware transcoding engine, it is nowhere near as efficient or as supported as Intel’s QuickSync. Because of that, I specifically looked for an Intel CPU with an integrated GPU.
This Reddit post convinced me to go with the ASRock DeskMini H470, as it was almost exactly the same build as what I was looking for.
Below is a comparison of my current NUC and the new hypervisor (it’s obviously not a like-for-like comparison because of the CPU, cooler, and RAM differences).
|Component||Current (2017 prices)||New (2021 pandemic prices)|
|Base kit||Intel NUC NUC7i3BNH - $282.99||ASRock DeskMini H470 - $200.99|
|CPU||Intel Core i3-7100U (2c/4t @ 2.40GHz)||Intel Core i5-10400 (6c/12t @ 2.90GHz) - $164.99|
|Memory||Crucial 32GB Kit (2x 16GB) DDR4-2400 SODIMM - $173.00||Corsair 64GB Kit (2x 32GB) DDR4-2666 SODIMM - $358.99|
|Storage||Samsung 860 Pro 2.5" 512GB SATA SSD - $138.07||Samsung 970 Pro 512GB M.2 NVMe SSD - $149.99|
|Accessories||N/A||Noctua NH-L9i - $44.95|
Other devices that didn’t make the cut
- 11th Generation Intel NUC
- This was an upgrade of the problems I had to begin with: U-Series processors (laptop chip) with poor cooling.
- Lenovo Tiny, HP Mini, and Dell Micro
- These were all basically the same devices, with different physical layouts: T-Series processors (low-power chip), a poor CPU heatsink, a blower fan, and limited expansion options.
- Dell Precision 3240 Compact
- I really wanted to like this. It offered Intel Core or Xeon processors, the latter of which could use ECC memory, in a super-small form-factor.
- It had different heatsinks for the Core vs Xeon models, but both the Core (one, two, three) and Xeon (one) models suffered from poor thermals and loud fans.
- HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen10 Plus
- The included Xeon processor (Xeon E-2224) was only 4c/4t and it didn’t support QuickSync. Although you could physically replace the CPU, there was a BIOS limitation by HP that prevented QuickSync from working.
- The included cooler and external PSU (180W) probably couldn’t handle processors rated for more than 71W, which really limited my options for CPUs with more cores.
- There was a single PCIe slot which I could use to install a small GPU (e.g., Nvidia Quadro P400), or run a PCIe-to-NVMe card for a boot drive, but not both.
11th Generation CPUs
According to this post, there may be some problems with 11th Generation CPUs on the DeskMini H470. I purchased a 10th Generation CPU, so I can’t confirm this. Just something to be aware of.
The DeskMini H470 BIOS was recently updated to version v2.00 to support Intel 11th Generation CPUs. However, as confirmed by this post, if your BIOS is v1.x, you can’t update it to v2.x with an 11th Generation CPU installed. You would need a 10th Generation CPU to perform the update (unless you got lucky and your DeskMini H470 shipped with the v2.x BIOS already installed).
My device shipped with BIOS v2.10 (see the red circle below), so it should support Intel 11th Generation CPUs out of the box.
The DeskMini H470 has four storage connections:
- 2x 2.5" HDD/SSD (proprietary SATA connector)
- 1x 2280 PCIe Gen3 NVMe SSD (M.2 connector)
- 1x 2280 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD (M.2 connector)
- This only works when using 11th Generation CPUs.
Right now, I’m running Proxmox and the VM storage on the same NVMe SSD. However, I will probably end up purchasing 2x SATA SSDs to run in RAID1 for VM storage.
There is a little bit of motherboard flex from the cooler because this cooler does not have a backplate. Not sure if that will be a problem, I guess we’ll see.
If you zoom in, the red line is drawn between the two motherboard screws, and you can see a tiny gap between the red line and the motherboard.
Sensors and VRM temperatures
According to this post, the temperature sensor kernel driver (nct6683) is not loaded by default. I confirmed this was the case and loaded it manually.
Both KitGuru and AnandTech commented about the high VRM temperatures on the DeskMini H470. However, ASRock is known to produce motherboards with fake sensors, so I’m not sure if this is related. I’m also not sure which of these (if any) are the VRM sensors.

Linux e1000e driver
There is a known issue where the Intel NIC e1000e kernel driver can crash/hang when under heavy load. In my case, this happened when my VM for backups was pushing data up to the cloud. Below is what I saw in
dmesg on the Proxmox host.
Jun 22 21:40:32 proxmox02 kernel: [37615.515931] e1000e 0000:00:1f.6 eno1: Detected Hardware Unit Hang: Jun 22 21:40:32 proxmox02 kernel: [37615.515931] TDH <a5> Jun 22 21:40:32 proxmox02 kernel: [37615.515931] TDT <40> Jun 22 21:40:32 proxmox02 kernel: [37615.515931] next_to_use <40> Jun 22 21:40:32 proxmox02 kernel: [37615.515931] next_to_clean <a4> Jun 22 21:40:32 proxmox02 kernel: [37615.515931] buffer_info[next_to_clean]: Jun 22 21:40:32 proxmox02 kernel: [37615.515931] time_stamp <1008e50da> Jun 22 21:40:32 proxmox02 kernel: [37615.515931] next_to_watch <a5> Jun 22 21:40:32 proxmox02 kernel: [37615.515931] jiffies <1008e5848> Jun 22 21:40:32 proxmox02 kernel: [37615.515931] next_to_watch.status <0> Jun 22 21:40:32 proxmox02 kernel: [37615.515931] MAC Status <40080083> Jun 22 21:40:32 proxmox02 kernel: [37615.515931] PHY Status <796d> Jun 22 21:40:32 proxmox02 kernel: [37615.515931] PHY 1000BASE-T Status <3c00> Jun 22 21:40:32 proxmox02 kernel: [37615.515931] PHY Extended Status <3000> Jun 22 21:40:32 proxmox02 kernel: [37615.515931] PCI Status <10>
Below is the output from
lspci -v on the Proxmox host. You can see I’m using the
00:1f.6 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Device 0d4d Subsystem: ASRock Incorporation Device 0d4d Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 137 Memory at b1200000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] Capabilities: [c8] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [d0] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Kernel driver in use: e1000e Kernel modules: e1000e
This crash/hang happens because the NIC has hardware offload capabilities, but it can’t keep up with the amount of data being pushed through. The fix (as documented in this large Proxmox-specific thread) is to disable offloading and let everything be handled by the CPU. In my case, I only disabled tcp-segmentation-offload, generic-segmentation-offload, and generic-receive-offload.
The following snippet is from my /etc/network/interfaces file on the Proxmox host.
auto eno1 iface eno1 inet manual offload-tso off offload-gso off offload-gro off
After a reboot of the host, you can verify the settings using
ethtool -k eno1. Again, this is not specific to ASRock or Proxmox, it seems to be any Linux distribution using the e1000e driver.
So far, I’m only a few days into this new hypervisor, but it’s already leaps and bounds better than the NUC, especially under any sort of load.


Edifice watches range from basic chronographs to more advanced models with more computerized movements. Many Edifice watches utilize Tough Solar, Casio's brand name for solar-powered batteries. More advanced models are "Waveceptors" which can calibrate themselves with atomic clocks via radio wave signals. Some models have Bluetooth connectivity which enables them to be monitored via a smartphone and to share chronograph data. The display of the watches in the Edifice range is variable from a purely analog display to a display combining analog and digital displays (also called Ana-Digi).
Edifice has been an official sponsor of Scuderia Toro Rosso since 2016, and remained with the team as they renamed themselves to Scuderia AlphaTauri in 2020. The Edifice logo is displayed on the front of the team's 2021 Formula 1 car, the AT02.
Edifice also sponsors Honda's motorsport division Honda Racing, Nissan's motorsport division Nismo, TOM's Racing Team and the Japanese Inter Proto Series.
The partnership with STR, SAT and Honda Racing has resulted in the release of special edition watches.


When it comes to electric work, there’s no room for cutting corners.

A magnetic field is a vector field which can exert a magnetic force on moving electric charges and onmagnetic dipoles (such as permanent magnets). When placed in a magnetic field, magnetic dipoles tend to align their axes parallel to the magnetic field. Magnetic fields surround and are created by electric currents, magnetic dipoles, and changing electric fields. Magnetic fields also have their own energy, with an energy density proportional to the square of the field intensity.
There are some notable specific instances of the magnetic field. For the physics of magnetic materials, see magnetism and magnet, and more specifically ferromagnetism, paramagnetism, and diamagnetism. For constant magnetic fields, such as are generated by stationary dipoles and steady currents, seemagnetostatics. A changing electric field (which is mathematically identical to a moving electric field) also results in a magnetic field (see electromagnetism).
The magnetic field forms one aspect of electromagnetism. (See also relativistic electromagnetism.) In a simplified form the magnetic field can be thought of as the relativistic part of an electric field. More precisely, magnetic fields are a necessary consequence of the existence of electric fields and special relativity. A pure electric field in one reference frame will be viewed as a combination of both an electric field and a magnetic field in a moving reference frame. Together, the electric and magnetic fields make up the electromagnetic field, which is best known for underlying light and other electromagnetic waves.


To reduce water consumption, it is essential to base all final users’ water bills on actual water consumption, whether they are a household, industrial plant, commercial building, public building and so on, as knowing how much they use and the related cost leads users to consume water more consciously.
Monitoring water consumption can only be done if conventional or smart water meters are installed for each residential unit and other users. Thanks to smart water meters in particular, it is possible to obtain real-time information on how, when and where water is being consumed.
Smart meters allow water use to be monitored remotely and in a timely manner. It also allows, for example, consumption patterns of different customers to be analysed or weaknesses of the water distribution network to be identified. This sort of device can even enable the identification of abnormal water usage that may be linked to leakages in the system.
Smart meters not only increase the accuracy of measuring how much water is consumed, it also reduces costs thanks to the remote reading and collection of data.
Smart metering consists of an assortment of components and procedures, including the following key processes in water use data:
- measurement and storage of data in data loggers
- transfer (also called automatic meter reading) (e.g. Mohassel et al., 2014)
- processing and analysis
- feedback to consumers.
The lifetime of smart meters is significantly longer than conventional meters – usually 15 years compared to about six.
The better understanding of water consumption achieved through the smart meter system also helps city and urban planners to exploit opportunities to make the supply system more efficient.

This work presents a real-time multi-person or multi-object tracking algorithm that uses multiple hypothesis reasoning in time to enforce multi-person match constraints. The algorithm is intended to augment, not replace, existing multiperson tracking methods. We demonstrate how tracking systems that use inter-frame feature matching can be improved by enforcing contextual matching constraints throughout a 1-5 second temporal window. Robust and efficient multiple hypothesis reasoning in time is achieved for a useful class of tracking problems using a dynamic programming framework. Results are described for a dataset of 40 minutes of test video taken from a static, top-down camera and with two to four people moving about a small room.
Multi-person visual tracking, computer vision, temporal, dynamic programming.

Top 10 AI Virtual Assistant Tools for Creators & Entrepreneurs8 minute read
Ever wished you had a personal assistant to help you in your business?
Many creators and entrepreneurs hire virtual assistants to delegate manual tasks in their business and save time to focus on doing what they love most.
However, hiring a VA (virtual assistant) might not be easy for everyone. First of all, there is the added cost of paying a salary to the assistant.
It can also be challenging to find the right person for the job who share the same value and work ethic as you. Once you find such a person, you also have to take into consideration the time it takes to train the new hire, which can take weeks or months depending on the difficulty of the tasks they are asked to perform.
So what if you could have an AI virtual assistant? No added cost, time-consuming interview process and no training period.
Artificial intelligence has made it possible to create tools that can automate specific tasks and act as your personal assistant.
In today's article, we will talk about AI virtual assistants, how you can get one, and which AI tools you can use to build your own AI team.
What is an AI Virtual Assistant?
An AI virtual assistant is a software program or application that uses artificial intelligence (AI) and natural language processing (NLP) technologies to provide various services and perform tasks for users.
These virtual assistants are designed to interact with humans in a conversational way, often through text or even speech, and can be integrated into various devices and platforms, such as smartphones, computers, smart speakers, and more.
These AI virtual assistants use natural language processing technologies to understand and interpret human language, allowing users to communicate with them and have conversations with the AI.
Generally, AI virtual assistants can perform a wide range of tasks, such as setting reminders, answering questions, providing recommendations, editing digital products, sending messages and providing updates, and even controlling smart home devices.
The benefits of AI virtual assistants are numerous. First of all, most of these AI VAs are free to use, or free in combination with a product subscription or purchase. Even if they are a paid product, they are much more affordable compared to a person's salary.
Another benefit is that they are available around the clock, providing users with instant assistance and information 24/7.
AI virtual assistants continually evolve and become more sophisticated as technology advances, offering a wide range of applications in both personal and business contexts.
That said, there are a few general concerns related to AI assistant tools: many people who use AI assistants in their home (such as Google Assistant, Alexa or Siri) have privacy concerns - since the AI assistant works through voice commands, therefore is actively "listening" to pick up related inputs.
However, these devices are only supposed to record once a command is being given to them. Virtual assistant companies also have rules to protect your privacy. They explain how they use your personal information, and usually, they won't share your personal details without your permission.
Another concern about AI virtual assistants is that they cannot outperform humans. While AI assistants might be cheaper and provide instant support, they can only perform a limited range of tasks.
Top 10 AI Virtual Assistant Tools
Now that you know what AI virtual assistants are and how they operate let's see a list of the best AI tools and AI virtual assistant apps that can perform specific tasks as virtual assistants.
ChatGPT has recently released a new app for Android and iOS devices, where users can chat with the AI through vocal commands.
Through the app, users can also send pictures to ChatGPT and ask relevant questions.
These capabilities make ChatGPT a useful AI that can be used as an intelligent virtual assistant and can answer questions, generate text, analyze data and more for you.
This is the perfect AI virtual assistant for creators, coaches and solopreneurs who run an online knowledge business. If you sell online courses, this AI virtual assistant can help you save hours and hours of manual work!
Heights AI appears as a chat where you can talk to the AI like it's a team member. You can ask it questions to get info on creating courses, marketing, or using Heights Platform (the all-in-one online course creation software).
And you can give commands to the AI!
For instance, you can instruct the AI to do things like:
- "Set the price of my online course to $200 and make it live."
- "Publish the landing page for my photography course."
- "Write a description for my Yoga course and use it as its description."
- "Change my membership title to 'Intro to Playing the Piano'."
Once you give the command, the AI will ask for your confirmation. If it looks good to you, you can proceed and let it do the task.
This AI can quickly make these changes in your account, saving you a lot of time compared to doing it manually or learning how to use the platform.
So, instead of hiring a virtual assistant, AI can now handle tasks for you!Try the Heights AI
This AI is a bit different from the other ones discussed in this article. It is also part of Heights Platform (like the Heights AI Chat that can edit products for you), but it serves a very different purpose: this AI is your business coach!
Imagine if you could have a knowledgeable mentor available around the clock, someone who understands your business really well and can guide you through every step?
That's precisely what Heights Platform offers with the AI Coach!
The Heights AI Coach is like your personal business mentor. It studies your specific situation and gives you personalized tasks to help you succeed.
After a brief conversation to understand your objectives and challenges, the AI evaluates your unique situation and devises a tailored plan to meet your specific requirements.
You can share your concerns, what's working well for you, what isn't, and your aspirations. The AI Coach takes all this information into account and regularly sends you tasks, tips, and advice on how to advance your business.

There's another AI assistant tool like Heights AI, but it's not available yet to the public. It's called Sidekick, and it's being developed by the e-commerce company Shopify.
According to Tobi Lütke, Shopify's CEO, Sidekick is a highly skilled "person" who's always ready to assist. It knows a lot about business and is fully dedicated to helping you achieve success.
Similar to Heights AI, entrepreneurs using Shopify will have the ability to ask Sidekick questions about their business and make changes to their products and store directly through the AI chat.
This feature can be a huge time-saver for e-commerce entrepreneurs. They can offload repetitive tasks to Sidekick, gain valuable insights into their business, and gain knowledge about marketing and future strategies.
You are probably already familiar with the AI voice assistant from Apple (Siri) and its counterpart from Google (Google Assistant).
These AI assistants can answer questions, set reminders, send messages, and control device settings.
Siri is available on iOS devices, and Apple defines this AI as "the most private digital assistant" that learns your preferences while maintaining your privacy.
Google Assistant is available on Android devices and through various Google services, and it can perform searches, control smart devices, and provide information.
Even though these AI tools seem to be less qualitative compared to the newest AI tools described in the article, you can still use Siri and Google Assistant to plan your day, speed up manual tasks, ask it to search the internet for you and more.
Copilot X is an upgraded version of the existing Copilot app, developed by GitHub.
It's an AI-powered coding assistant that now includes chat and voice features. These new features enhance the coding experience by understanding the context and offering relevant suggestions to the user.
The most significant enhancement in Copilot X is its integration with OpenAI's GPT-4, the latest version of their language model. This integration makes Copilot X even better at suggesting code and providing answers with increased efficiency and accuracy.
Currently, Copilot X is in the preview stage and is accessible by invitation only. If you're interested in trying it out, you can sign up and wait for access.
The primary idea behind GitHub Copilot is to leverage the advanced OpenAI algorithm to understand the context of your code.
Once it grasps the context, it provides suggestions that you can choose to accept or ignore. Copilot also helps in generating basic code snippets and can assist in writing unit tests, a feature introduced in Copilot X.
Amazon Alexa is an AI virtual assistant and voice-controlled smart assistant developed by Amazon.
It is part of the Amazon Echo line of smart speakers and devices. Alexa uses natural language processing and artificial intelligence to interact with users through voice commands.
Users can activate Alexa by using a "wake word," which is typically "Alexa," but can also be changed to other options like "Echo" or "Computer."
Alexa can play music, control smart home devices, and answer questions.
However, many users believe that compared to the newest AI technologies available today, Alexa does not offer the same level of experience and functionality.
Microsoft has introduced Windows Copilot, an AI chat tool built into Windows.
It can do many things like summarizing documents, offering tech support, and answering questions.
Through the Copilot icon on the taskbar, you can access a chat interface where you can type questions or ask the AI to perform certain actions.
One example of its power is in Excel, where it uses natural language processing to help you analyze and visualize data.
It's useful for business data analysis and has the potential to save users a lot of time. Microsoft started testing it in June 2023, but it's not available to everyone just yet.
IBM Watsonx is a sophisticated AI assistant solution designed to enhance operational efficiency. It is mainly designed for large businesses and corporations.
It streamlines workflow by automating tasks and simplifying complex processes, saving time and resources. It promotes improved collaboration within teams, facilitating effective communication to ensure tasks are completed in a timely and high-quality manner.
Used for business applications, Watsonx provides AI-powered insights, recommendations, and data analysis.
This tool is great for larger businesses, and it comes with a hefty price tag.

j5 – Augmented Reality Robot
The goal of this project was to create an immersive robotic tele-presence experience. J5 uses a combination of systems to achieve this. The robot streams stereoscopic video over the wireless network into a Google Cardboard iOS app. The robot can be driven via socket.io communication over a web server. The camera also pans and tilts using the device orientation angles sent via a socket.io client to the web server. To control the robot, the user opens the iOS app and accompanying web app. The iOS app is placed inside a Google Cardboard unit with the stereoscopic video stream playing in each eye. The user can now visualize the robot’s perspective. By looking up, the robot cameras look up. By looking to the left and/or right, the robot cameras pan to the left and right. Using the web app, the user can control the robot driving controls by holding down the ‘Forward’, ‘Backward’, ‘Left’ and ‘Right’ buttons.
Two raspberry pi’s host video servers while only one also acts as control server for the device orientation and driving commands. The control server is a node.js server that uses socket.io to listen for socket messages. Once the messages are received, commands are issues over serial to the Arduino or command line. The Arduino handles incoming integers over serial and outputs commands to the physical outputs that control DC motors. Command line commands control the pan/tilt servos directly from the Raspberry Pi.

The Omnidirectional Holonomic Platform more commonly known as the Killough Platform was invented by Stephen Killough and Francois Pin at the Oak Ridge National Laboratories. It uses three specially designed wheel assemblies that can provide force along only one axis (with the rotation of the axle). It moves freely along the direction of the axle.
I have wanted to play with a Killough platform for about 3 years so I jumped at a chance to try one out. Many people have developed Killough platform designs using Legos. I was mainly interested in playing with the software. I used the physical design of Rama created by Philippe Hurbain. This was one of the most elegant designs that I came across (plus I couldn't find the big balloon tires used by other designs).
(these are about 2M each)
I wasn't up to attempting this with graphical programming. I wrote the control code in NQC. The most critical part of the software design is to find a way to accurately control the motor speed. To get a full range of motion, you need to be able to drive the motors independently at a wide range of speeds. I have had limited success with this, but really need some rotation sensors so that I can use a closed loop control algorithm to better control motor speed.
The best I could do on my first attempt was to use Pulse Width Modulation for speed control. I have three NQC motor control tasks, one for each motor. Each task monitors a global variable specifying a target speed index (from 0-10). This is used to control the relative time on and off for the motor. A main task sets target speeds for the three motors, then waits while they run. Various combinations of motor speeds are used to drive the platform: around a square without changing orientation, around a circle while turning, turning about 1 wheel, and turning about the center.
With my first attempt at PWM control, I stopped the motor with braking (Off command) during the off part of each control period. This was the only way I could get the motor to actually move at a slow speed and maintain a fairly linear relationship between the speed index and actual speed. The downside is that it made for very jerky motion. If you watch the video, the jerkiness of the motion is due more to the PWM speed control, than the wheel design.
My second attempt floated the motor during the off part of each control period. I found that I couldn't do this for very low speeds or the wheels wouldn't turn at all, they just rocked back and forth. I added a transition point, so that above a certain speed setting, the motor would use the floating stop. This smoothed out the faster speeds, but gave quite a non-linear result. The momentum of the wheel really added to the speed and I had to stretch out the off periods by a factor of three to get a linear response. This worked OK, but was very sensitive to the environment the wheel was in. It worked OK on the carpet in my home office, but not on the deeper carpet in another part of the house, or the hard wood floor.
My next attempt will be to use rotation sensors to accurately measure the true speed for much more accurate control under changing conditions.
I'm hoping that the servo motors in the NXT kit will make this type of motor control much easier. It also has quite a bit more processing horsepower and I hope enough memory to implement trigonometric functions using a lookup table. This would make it possible to drive the system with separate targets for the x, y, and angular velocities. I can't currently calculate the motor speeds necessary to do complex motion on the fly, I have to calculate them offline and program fixed motor speed and timings in the demo code.
Feel free to send comments to me (Steve Appling).


Want to discuss about this project ? Go here !
I had been looking to connect my SE/30 to the internet but I struggled to find PDS boards that would fit in it. It is particularly difficult as such boards are rare, but there is also very little space available in the SE/30, so most cards won’t fit in. Apart from the internal PDS port the SE/30 has another expansion port : SCSI, which is an improved parallel port. It is available at the back of the computer as a DB25 port. But all SCSI to Ethernet devices from back in the days that I found were missing floppies with drivers. Moreover most of this stuff was in the US so shipping would be really expensive. Then I found about scuznet, a modern design by @saybur. It was really interesting because it was made to work with an unpatched Nuvotech driver. But there was a few things I did want to change/improve to the design, including the fact that it would be really cool to be able to upgrade the firmware by USB so that the community could easily develop and upgrade the firmware.
The goals of this project is to make a cheap, open source, community driven, and reliable board.
This is the original design by @saybur :
So I decided to create a new design based on this. Here are the main things I changed/added to the original design :
- The microcontroller is replaced by a STM32 (ARM chip) that will be upgradable by USB. In the future it also means a firmware could handle Ethernet over USB, and you could share files between your modern computer just by connecting to you vintage mac by USB;
- The board is self powered by the SCSI
- In case external power is needed (such as on the Macintosh Plus I guess) it can be provided by USB (instead of a power jack on the original design)
- I added mouting holes to the PCB so that we can design an acrylic case later;
- I removed the SD Card slot because I like things that does a simple task but does it well (Good design is as little design as possible)
- Designed in Kicad 5 (instead of Kicad 4)
On my design, power can be provided by the SCSI bus or/and the USB port. The board has some circuitry that automatically switches between these two sources, so for the end user it is really convenient. On a Mac that has a stable SCSI 5V you just have to plug the board, on other Macs plug the board and connect the USB port to a USB wall charger and that’s it. It also means the board can be connected to the turned on Mac while updating the firmware, which will also be super convenient while developing a new firmware.
SCSI Termination is for the moment always enabled, I do not see this as an issue. If I discover that it should be software controlled I will tweak the design in the future.
Here is what the final board could look like :
That design is available on my GitHub.
- Wait for some feedbacks and eventually tweak a bit the current design (~1 week)
- Manufacture some boards and assemble them (~1 month as boards will get manufactured in China)
- Write an initial firmware and make sure design works as expected (~1 week to get basic stuff running)
- Port the Nuvotech protocol to the board (and find a way to make it work with A/UX if time is found) (timing depends on so much things)
- Try to distribute the board as a kit or pre-assembled (timing depends on so much things)
On The Technical Side
The design is based around an STM32F072R8, for three main reasons :
- it’s an ARM chip, so development tools are open source and powerful (and I have experience with STM32 as well)
- it has an USB DFU bootloader, so any end-user will be able to upgrade the board without expensive hardware flashing tool
- it has a lot of GPIOs that is necessary to talk using SCSI
The signals between the STM32 and the SCSI are divided into three main categories :
- SCSI -> STM32 (ATN, ACK, …) : these are unidirectional signals from initiator, I use a 74LVC14 chip to do the level conversion. Indeed the SCSI bus communicates at 2.85V but some peripherals can talk at 5.5V, so we need to protect the STM32 which does not have a lot of 5V tolerant GPIOS.
- STM32 -> SCSI (CD, IO, …) : these are unidirectional signals from target, I use multiple 74LVTH126 to drive these control pins in Open Drain, this make sure no device on the bus can be damaged in case of multiple devices talking at the same time. This also make sure the board talks at the 2.85V SCSI voltage.
- STM32 <-> SCSI : bidirectional signals that will use the 74LVTH126 and the 74LVC14. One particularity is the data lines. You may have noticed that the 74LVC14 inverts the signal logic. This is not an issue for control lines, as software can handle inverted signal with simple
not. The problem for the data lines is that you often want to transfer the data received as quickly as possible to your peripheral (here the Ethernet chip). If you want to be fast you don’t want to
notall received data before transfering, that’s why you’ll see the 74LVC245 chip handling the received data line that does the level convert without inverting the data.
You may now wonder where does the 2.85V comes from. I use a simple adjustable LM1117 to generate it, but you may notice that it produces something more like 2.63V. It is due to the fact that termination resistors (
RN2) are supposed to be 110ohms, but 110ohms resistor networks are not available at the time of writing on DigiKey. So I chose the nearest available value which is 100ohms, and for that value the voltage should be 2.63V. (and yes SCSI devices need a termination to avoid reflection).
The rest is relatively classical design, the STM32 is connected to the Ethernet chip
ENC28J60 by SPI. You can also notice the two schottky diodes managing the input voltage (USB and SCSI TRMPWRP) with a low lost voltage.
Don’t hesitate to give some feedback here !


Aiming at the Natural Equilibrium of Planet Earth Requires to Reinvent Computing
Reiner Hartenstein, IEEE fellow - http://hartenstein.de
Maintaining the natural equilibrium of the planet earth requires increasing compute capacity also to optimize all key issues given by the impact of the growing population of human beings and their activities. Already now the carbon footprint of only the internet is higher than that of the worldwide air traffic. Under the growing oil price at declining production the rapidly growing energy consumption in all areas of computing will become unaffordable, probably within less than a decade.
Growing core counts of manycore architectures are racing ahead of programming paradigms. Most applications had originally been written for a single processor and more than 50% of the applications do not scale beyond eight processor cores. The programmer population qualified for re-writing does not yet exist.
Programming research has stalled and the parallel programming wall forces us to reshape the fundamental nature of system design, programming methods and system usage. However, the evolutionary path is not addressing the key issues. Extrapolations from current methods and practices are simply inadequate. Hetero systems including reconfigurable computing promise to reduce the energy consumption of computing by at least an order of magnitude. However, for a successful transition we have to reinvent computing.
A Glimpse at the Future of Computing
Rico Malvar, Chief Scientist, Microsoft
Computing, information, and entertainment technologies evolve and change at an increasingly rapid pace. In this talk we present an overview of some of the technologies developed at Microsoft Research that push the limits of computing. Those include visualization techniques for petabytes of data, touch interfaces and body computing, speech translation, augmented reality, user sentiment analysis, streaming data processing, new wireless networking interfaces, and new tools for design and test of large-scale software.
Exploring The Sublteties Of The Quantum World: From Einstein And Schrödinger To Quantum Information
Luiz Davidovich, Instituto de Físca - Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro
Quantum information is a discipline that aims to investigate methods to characterize, transmit, store, compress, and computationally utilize the information carried by quantum states. It owes its fast development in the last years to the ability, developed in several labs, of controlling and measuring simple microscopic systems, to the discovery of fast quantum algorithms, and to the recognition that Moore's law will soon lead to the single-atom limit of elementary computing gates. Cryptography and quantum computing are among the main applications. They rely on subtle and fundamental properties of the quantum world: the unavoidable disturbance associated with measurement, the superposition principle, and the counter-intuitive phenomenon of entanglement. Progress in this area is intimately connected to a deep understanding of quantum physics: recent achievements include the proposal and the experimental demonstration of teleportation, and detailed investigations of the role of the environment in the quantum-classical transition, a topic relevant to the assessment of the robustness of quantum computers. This talk will review basic concepts and recent developments in this area, emphasizing the close ties between fundamental research and possible applications.

Contactless payments are seamless, secure, and trusted payment solutions. Contactless payments are enabled by an array of EMV technologies. The major benefit offered by contactless payments is the instant and seamless speed of the transaction. Integrating contactless payments to your offered solutions is a growing trend across the global payments industry, and it take many shapes and forms, especially with the wide availability of mobile and smartphone devices.
Market trends and onboarding practices for issuers
In the MENA region, almost 1 of 9 MasterCard transaction are contactless, which is a 200% increase in contactless payments over the first quarter of 2020 (Wamda, 2020).This growing trend of consumers using contactless payments during the first quarter of 2020 is the result of consumer’s efforts to combat covid19 with hygienic and fast payment, as it limits the human-to-human interactions of using cash, or having to enter your PIN and personal info.
“Tap n’ Go” Contactless Platforms
Tap and Go applications on payment cards and NFC wearables were first enabled with the introduction of EMV contactless chip technology, and they optimized contactless payments with speedy transactions that take seconds while using the same dynamic data security technology of EMV chips. “Tap and Go” technology increased conversion from cash to card-based payment transactions and is now enabling a higher regard for digital wallets on mobile devices, as tokens prove to be highly secure and reliable alteration of EMV chip data. As a key partner in the digital banking transformation of Bank Audi, Infotec Systems successfully implemented Way4 Card Management System and Payment processing platform that allowed for the deployment of dual interface contactless cards powered by PayPass “Tap n’ Go” technology and built a payment acceptance network with co-branded POS terminals that display Tap2Pay stickers and MasterCard logo.
EMV Chip Technology and Tokenization
The EMV chip sits on the face of the card to enable contactless payments, its communication algorithm with the antenna enable it to send encrypted dynamic transactions data to the POS terminal for payment acceptance. Through our EMV card issuing and EMV personalization services, Infotec Systems lead the first EMV chip migration on all Fransabank MasterCard payment cards portfolio, and the deployment of the first Paypass card in the Middle East, further enabling a trusted and secure payment ecosystem.
Contactless for Acquirers

Aeromine Technologies claims that its new rooftop bladeless wind energy unit provides the same amount of power as up to 16 solar panels.
Could it become a game changer for generating clean energy on commercial buildings?
Aeromine Technologies says its motionless system, which was validated through joint research with Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque and Texas Tech University, easily installs on the edge of a building and can generate up to 50% more energy at the same cost as rooftop solar.
It’s designed to sit on buildings with flat roofs such as warehouses and distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, office buildings, multi-family residential developments, and big box retail.
The company says its patented rooftop wind product is currently being piloted by BASF Corporation – the largest chemical producer in the world – at BASF’s manufacturing plant in Wyandotte, Michigan.
Aeromine explains how its rooftop bladeless wind energy unit works:
Aeromine is motionless. The technology leverages aerodynamics similar to airfoils on a race car to capture and amplify each building’s airflow. Requiring just 10% of the roof space needed by solar panels, the stationary, silent, and durable Aeromine unit generates around-the-clock energy in any weather.
Aeromine systems consist of 20-40 units installed on the edge of a building facing the predominant wind direction. Designed to work seamlessly with a building’s existing electrical system, the combination of Aeromine’s wind solution with rooftop solar can generate up to 100% of a building’s onsite energy needs, while minimizing the need for energy storage.
It can also be paired with existing solar, so it isn’t necessary to disassemble already-installed solar panels to install the wind unit.

Reasons You Need To Buy an Inverter Generator
Each day, new changes are being made when it comes to the generator technology. The features that the new generators have are making the traditional gasoline driven generators lose value with time. The use of the new inverter generators has been on the rise due to the many advantages that people have realized. For instance, even though the inverter generators are a little more expensive than the traditional ones, they have changed the way the generator makes power. Presented below are other benefits that have led to people appreciating the use of inverter generators.
First, you need to understand that the inverter generators are lighter than the traditional one phase generators. It, therefore, means that even for those people who carry generators around, it will be much simpler for them to carry the new inverter generator. You no longer have to worry about the issue of bulkiness that comes with the last generation generators as the new one is much lighter and easy to carry.
With the inverter generator, you are sure that the environment where you use it will be much quieter than when you use the traditional. There was a challenge with the traditional generator as they are known to produce a lot of noise. Regardless of the load, the traditional gasoline generator runs at about 3600 RPM, but when it comes to the inverter technology, it automatically monitors the load and make the adjustments to give the need output. When you do not need much noise in your surroundings, it is important to consider going for the inverter generator.
The amount of fuel spend, and the emission made by the inverter generator is low. As the inverter generator controls its RPM, so it does when it comes to the … Read More..Read More →


In recent months there has been a bevy of reports on whether artificial intelligence (AI) is coming for tech jobs, and there is no denying that AI will affect your software development career. But does fact necessitate an adverse reaction? Or are there positive connotations of incorporating AI into your skillset? This month we will look at three ways AI will impact your tech career and how your perspective can make a difference in the outcome.
AI Will Change the Way You Work
AI is already changing the way software engineers work. One of the most significant impacts of artificial intelligence is on the development process. With AI, software engineers can automate repetitive tasks such as testing, debugging, and code optimization. When engineers do not have to spend time pouring over lines of code, they have more opportunities to focus on more creative and complex tasks, such as designing new features and improving user experiences.
Another way AI will affect your software development career is by the ability to provide insights in real time into code quality and performance. AI-powered tools can analyze code and provide feedback to software developers for improvement in real-time. This can help to identify bugs and security vulnerabilities early on in the development process, saving time and money in the long run.
AI Will Create New Job Opportunities
Artificial intelligence is not just changing how software engineers work but also creating new job opportunities within the industry. As AI becomes more prevalent, the demand for engineers with AI and machine learning expertise will continue to increase. Software engineers with AI experience will be in high demand and can expect to command higher salaries. To stay viable, engineers need to embrace the changes brought by artificial intelligence, even if those changes are intimidating.
In addition to creating opportunities for new jobs, AI is also changing the nature of existing roles within software development. For example, AI-powered tools can automate many tasks traditionally performed by project managers, such as scheduling and resource allocation. This means that project managers must adapt to new roles that leverage their skills in areas such as data analysis and decision-making.
AI Will Require New Skill Sets
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly prevalent in software development, engineers must acquire new skills to stay competitive. One vital skill for software engineers to develop is an understanding of AI and machine learning principles. This includes knowledge of algorithms, statistical models, and data analysis techniques.
In addition to technical skills, engineers will also must develop soft skills such as communication and collaboration. AI-powered tools work in tandem with human engineers (not to replace them), so working effectively in a team will continue to be a critical skill. Software engineers will also need to communicate effectively with stakeholders, such as project managers and business leaders, to ensure that AI is effectively used to achieve business objectives.
AI Will Affect Your Software Development Career – How Will You Respond?
The fact that AI will affect your software development career does not need to fill you with fear and dread. Many of the personality traits that have led you to choose this career path in the first place can help you successfully navigate the changes that AI is bringing to the industry.
The website BeAPython lists a few of these traits as grit and determination, curiosity, an eagerness to learn, and self-confidence.
So, rather than living in fear of artificial intelligence coming for your job, embrace the change. Use the developing technology to foster your natural inquisitiveness and grow your skill sets. The above-referenced article stated, “Fortunately or unfortunately, you will always be subjected to several challenges that will teach you how to believe in yourself. You will mostly develop unwavering confidence in this career after your creations and knowledge have been battle-tested. Therefore, brace up…”
We agree. Develop a growth mindset, and prepare to ride the waves of change.
