Robot face with lab-grown living skin could lead to more human-like cyborgs
|
It suggests the robot uprising may now be done with a smile
|
Scientists in Japan have found a way to use living skin on the faces of robots to make them more realistic. While it may sound like the stuff of nightmares for folks fearing a takeover by robot overlords, the BBC notes that the prototype appears "more Haribo than human-like.” The scientists said they made the discovery after copying tissue structures in people, adding that it could lead to “convincingly realistic, moving humanoids with self-healing skin that will not easily rip or tear.” It will, however, take many more years of testing before the technology can be widely used ... |

July 10 is going to be a huge day for Samsung
|
There’s plenty to look forward to at Samsung’s next Galaxy Unpacked event, which has just been officially announced
|
Samsung has finally revealed the date of its next Galaxy Unpacked event: Wednesday, July 10, Digital Trends reported. Last year’s summer Unpacked event was on July 26, so this earlier date is great for fans eagerly awaiting news of the company’s latest gear. The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6 and Galaxy Z Flip 6 will likely be the two smartphone announcements, though some rumors have also hinted at the Galaxy Z Fold 6 Ultra. We’re also expecting to see the Galaxy Watch 7, the Galaxy Watch Ultra, the Galaxy Ring, and possibly a new series of Galaxy S10 tablets, though that one is less certain ... |

Beats Pill (2024) speaker review: the best portable for under $200
|
Beats is back with an all-new Pill speaker costing $150 — and it’s a major improvement on many levels
|
The new Pill “manages to hit a perfect sweet spot, combining sleek design, handy features, great battery life, and sound quality that arguably is the best you can get under $200,” according to Digital Trends’ detailed review of the Bluetooth speaker. The bass has plenty of resonance and oomph, the highs and upper midranges are clear and precise, and the mids — while not as detailed as you’ll get on a bigger speaker — are as good (if not better) as you'll find on any other portable at this size and price. Drawbacks? The rubberized body is a magnet for pet fur, pocket lint, and other similar debris, and the lack of backlighting on the controls makes it hard to see them in darker conditions ... |

Hugh Grant turns evil in creepy trailer for A24’s Heretic |
The British actor swaps out his charming schtick for something rather more sinister in A24's Heretic
|
A24 has just dropped the first trailer for Heretic, starring Hugh Grant, Sophie Thatcher, and Chloe East. Coming this fall, the horror flick tells the tale of two young missionaries (Thatcher and East) who at first appear delighted to speak with Mr. Reed (Grant) — until things turn downright weird as Reed traps the women inside his home. Variety notes that this is the first time for Grant to lead a horror film since 1988 when he starred in Ken Russell’s pagan barnburner The Lair of the White Worm. Heretic is written and directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods, the duo who co-wrote the highly rated A Quiet Place with John Krasinski ... |

Logitech's new gaming keyboard puts it back in the fight |
The company slipped in the last few years with its gaming keyboards, but the new Logitech G515 feels like a properly competitive offering
|
The Logitech G515 is packed with features and comes with a thin build that also made the G915 stand out. The new keyboard offers both a linear and tactile switch, with the former better for long gaming sessions and the latter great for typing. The switches come lubricated from the factory, and Logitech included a layer of sound dampening within the keyboard. “This doesn't feel like an enthusiast-grade keyboard on the level of something like the Keychron Q1 HE, but it is notably better than the G915 out of the box,” Digital Trends commented. At $140, the Logitech G515 is more affordable than what we typically see from the company, making it a compelling option for shoppers ... |
