Levels 1 and 2 indicate a vehicle has some driver assistance technologies, which may warn drivers of danger like blind spot warnings, control braking or accelerating or centre a vehicle in a lane. These vehicles are currently available in Canada, according to the Ontario government’s website….
“This is the 33rd fatality of the year in Ottawa involving a driver and a vulnerable road user. And I do not know any of the circumstances to presume blame. However, it’s not lost on me that I’ve been pushing for safety improvements to Viewmount Drive, but all of these projects always take so long to get done,” he said….
These days, almost every smartphone brand out there loves parading the cinema-grade capture chops of their hardware. From concerts to live events, we’re increasingly seeing rigs with a smartphone leading the charge. Every flagship promises Hollywood-worthy videos, film-like colours, and enough AI magic to make a director do a double take. In the hands of an average person, however, it’s a whole different story. My tech-savvy teenage brother, for example, wants his phone to shoot great videos without forcing……
There’s a specific mantra drilled into government workers, military officers, and intelligence personnel during counterintelligence briefings: “If she’s a 10 and you’re a 5, she’s a spy!” Or, as the US Army’s Counterintelligence Command posted on Valentine’s Day: “It doesn’t take a mathematician to figure out ‘10 + 5 = honeytrap.’” The very beautiful woman who is suddenly interested in your very ordinary existence probably has ulterior motives, is the message. Jensen Huang surely doesn’t live a typical life—he’s……

I’ve cracked exactly one laptop screen in my life. It was in 2020, when I broke the IPS screen on my Lenovo laptop, and boy do I remember the repair bill. It looks like Apple’s touchscreen MacBook Pro could be just as painful to repair, especially if you need to get past that gorgeous new OLED display. iFixit has just published its teardown of Apple’s new 14-inch touchscreen MacBook Pro. Among the many things it covers (including how the……
Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech An international team of astronomers were puzzled when an entire gas giant appeared to vanish from the sky. The disappearing exoplanet, dubbed TOI-2535 b, is located roughly 1,000 light-years from Earth. Since it orbits its host star at an extremely close distance, completing a full rotation in just over eight days, its surface is extremely hot, making it a “hot Jupiter.” NASA’s……
Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech The incoming Democratic majority in Congress appears to be eager to reel in an AI industry that’s been allowed free rein under Donald Trump’s second administration. On top of a slew of regulations meant to address data center electricity use and AI product liability, Democrats are reportedly eying additional preventative regulations aimed at curbing the tech industry’s excesses before they cause harm…….

A pair of California-based engineers have built what they say may be the largest Game Boy Color ever. Standing more than nine feet and weighing around 300 pounds, the Pokémon-yellow goliath requires a U-Haul to transport and took over 1,500 collective hours in a makerspace to create. And it isn’t just for show. The giant handheld plays real Game Boy games, thanks to a pixel-perfect display scaled up from the original and software written from scratch. The designers even……
On screen, a woman runs toward a cliff and peers anxiously over the edge, teetering as she looks down at a perilous mountain dotted with boulders, her hair flying in the wind. She’s not, though. I can see her from where I’m standing in the middle of a Disney sound stage in Los Angeles. She’s standing in a “gray box,” a small, walled-off space on the studio floor, neutral-colored walls speckled with small cross marks for positioning. She’s next……
The European Commission announced a sweeping set of updates to consumer law on Wednesday to protect European Union citizens from “harmful digital practices”—whether while online shopping, browsing social media, or doing their Duolingo lesson. Within the package, the Commission unveiled its Digital Fairness Act to address harmful practices online. Proposed rules include banning dark patterns—practices that manipulate consumers into making decisions they would not otherwise make, such as falsely claiming a product is running low. They will also curb……
Finding a job is hard enough without having to deal with rejection, financial uncertainty, and the emotional drain of unemployment. A new study led by Northwestern University suggests a smartphone-based program that combines mental health exercises with practical job-search guidance could help people get back to work. After six weeks of the trial, 68.3% of people using the program had found jobs, compared with 50.8% of those receiving standard job-search advice. The program, called DRIVEN (Distress-Informed Return-to-Work Intervention), addresses……
The collapse of Paraguay’s digital lender Ueno Bank last week left nearly three million customers — roughly 60% of Paraguay’s adults — unable to access their accounts. Paraguay’s Central Bank placed Ueno into resolution on Nov. 3 after its solvency ratio fell below half the legally required minimum. An investigation uncovered questionable lending practices and deficiencies in credit documentation and accounting. The collapse also triggered a political crisis, with thousands taking to the streets to protest and President Santiago……
