Recently there was a fun story about how John Deere used their tractor kill switch to turn $5 million tractors stolen by the Russians into junk. I'm good with what they did to those thieves, but the fact that a "kill switch" exists and how John Deere and others use technology like this isn't good news ...

I was at Dell Technologies World 2022 last week. Often, I'm not very excited about anything on the showcase floor at events like this, but DTW has been the exception ...

With last week's announcement that the Varjo Reality Cloud had exited beta and is now in full release, we basically have two metaverse camps: Meta's, which is focused on the consumer and revenue and is defined by performance limitations associated with its wireless Oculus headset; and the Varjo-Nvidia approach where performance is king, business is the primary focus, and the result is far closer to the Star Trek Holodeck goal that is anticipated to be the eventual metaverse photorealistic experience the market has been primed to want...

I've been working with home automation offerings since the 1970s when I first installed X-10 switches in my apartment -- which I'm sure my landlord really appreciated when I moved out.

Up until last week, discrete graphics, the high-end parts you would use if you were into gaming, CAD/CAM, AI development, metaverse creation, picture and movie editing, architecture, animation, or any other field (like engineering) that required high-performance graphics, you had a choice of two vendors: AMD which was the leader in value and more bang for the buck, and Nvidia which tended to lead in absolute performance...

Nvidia's GTC conference last week was amazing. What Nvidia does that no other vendor seems to get is use their technology to craft the keynote. Instead of watching a boring talking head, you get to see the benefits of their latest technology used and demonstrated virtually ...

Rob Enderle, president and principal analyst at the Enderle Group, an advisory services firm in Bend, Ore. agreed that retailers could be hurt by Equifax's decision. "It may make buy now, pay later less attractive because its inclusion will degrade credit ratings," he told the E-Commerce Times. "So there may be an adverse impact on sales...

If you are like me, it's hard to focus on work given what is going on in Ukraine. I'm afraid doom scrolling has become far too addictive for many of us. But while the pain and suffering we are seeing is clearly tragic, the result could be a far more powerful Ukraine funded by captured Russian funds ...

When it comes to self-driving cars, those that make them and those that drive them seem to be living on different planets. The industry seems to think consumers want horizontal elevators that take them where they want to go, while consumers do not want to give up driving nor do they currently trust a computer to motor them around ...

I grew up with stories like Robert A. Heinlein's "Have Spacesuit—Will Travel" and the idea that we will someday get on a space liner to view the stars. But these stories were written long before we understood the time it would take to make these trips possible, the adverse impact of space travel on humans, and the unbelievable costs that would be incurred...
