Home Batteries 101: Power, Costs, and Setup
3d ago00:02:03Tap to summarizeHome batteries are exploding in popularity as electricity prices climb—store solar or cheap night power to dodge high rates. Think of them as giant, smart power banks using safe lithium tech (or cheaper, colder-friendly sodium-ion, which trades off size and lifespan). Most are modular and need an inverter. Key specs: capacity (kWh), power output (kW), depth of discharge, and efficiency. Check for electrical upgrades and utility permits early—costs and delays can sneak up. Hire certified installers, get quotes, and pick a sheltered spot like a garage. Costs run into thousands, with payback taking 5–12 years, but solar + off-peak charging slashes that time.

Transcribe →Green Powders Decoded
3d ago00:01:39Tap to summarizeGreen powders are booming—but don’t treat them like magic pills. Thanks to a 1994 FDA ruling, they’re classified as food, meaning companies don’t have to prove claims or even guarantee ingredient accuracy. While not harmful, they can’t replace real fruits and veggies. Experts say they’re best as supplements for dietary gaps—always consult your doctor first. After personal testing with medical approval, I noticed smoother digestion, better energy, and overall balance. The market’s evolving fast, with new brands like AG1 and Daily Elements entering, and older ones getting updated. Bottom line: they might help, but eat your greens the old-fashioned way.

Transcribe →Siri Gets a Brain Upgrade
3d ago00:01:46Tap to summarizeApple’s reimagined Siri in iOS 27 is a game-changer—powered by Gemini, deeply personal, and context-aware. It doesn’t just answer questions; it remembers your chats, emails, and photos to proactively suggest actions, even choosing between Apple Messages and Meta Messenger. Think of it as your hyper-personal assistant, not just a voice tool. Early tests show promise, though some quirks remain. Advanced features roll out gradually, prioritizing newer iPhones. Siri’s evolution aims to become your central, intelligent hub—changing how you interact with your digital life. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Transcribe →Tech Surveillance Everywhere
3d ago00:01:36Tap to summarizeMeta’s smart glasses are quietly packing military-grade facial recognition, sparking privacy alarms after hidden face ID code was found. In the UK, asylum seekers face age-scanning tech with known errors that could alter lives. Hackers dumped millions of Madison Square Garden records—right after the Knicks’ win. San Francisco’s Castro gay bars are now scanning patrons, building a surveillance network for behavior tracking. Meanwhile, France’s spy agency swaps out Palantir for homegrown tools, part of Europe’s push for tech sovereignty. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Transcribe →Espresso Without Heat Using Sound
3d ago00:01:38Tap to summarizeScientists have cracked the code on making espresso without heat—using sound waves instead. A team in Australia, led by a Colombian researcher, developed “ultrasonic espresso” that extracts flavor, oils, and caffeine at room temperature using high-frequency sound and acoustic cavitation. Though slower (3 minutes vs. 30 seconds), it slashes energy use by 75%, making it ideal for cafes and large-scale coffee production. After tweaking grind size and power levels, they matched the Specialty Coffee Association’s ideal espresso profile—and blind taste tests proved listeners couldn’t tell the difference. In fact, filtered coffee drinkers even preferred the ultrasonic version. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

4d ago00:01:43Tap to summarizeJean-Baptiste Kempf, creator of VLC Media Player with over six billion downloads, is now revolutionizing robotics with Kyber—an ultra-low-latency SDK for real-time control of remote devices. Inspired by Star Wars lightsabers, Kyber syncs video, audio, and sensors with near-zero delay, making it ideal for physical AI. Just secured $5M from Lightspeed (also behind Anthropic and Mistral), Kyber is built for millions of devices at scale—far beyond current systems—and supports AI-driven fleets. Open-source by design, it also offers commercial tiers with dedicated engineering support. Already deployed in defense, telecom, robotics, and AI, Kyber is poised to make robots as ubiquitous as VLC.

Transcribe →U.S. Bans Anthropic AI Exports
4d ago00:02:20Tap to summarizeThe White House has slapped a national security ban on Anthropic’s cutting-edge AI models Fable and Mythos, cutting off access globally — including to foreign nationals in the U.S. — in what’s the first major test of America’s ability to control AI exports. The move follows two triggering incidents: granting access to a South Korean telecom with alleged Chinese ties, and Amazon CEO concerns about bypassing Fable’s safety guardrails. This echoes past tech export failures — like the Crypto Wars over encryption or the Wassenaar Arrangement’s shaky enforcement against spyware — where controls often backfired or created compliance burdens. History suggests U.S. export bans may not stop powerful AI from spreading, forcing a choice: either lift restrictions to stay competitive or saddle companies with global compliance hurdles — neither likely to fully contain the next wave of digital disruption.

Transcribe →Go Japan's Robotaxi Bet
4d ago00:01:38Tap to summarizeGo, Japan’s largest ride-hailing app and once a taxi company, just went public with the biggest IPO of the year, raising $553 million to fuel its robotaxi ambitions amid a critical driver shortage. With taxi drivers down 20% and Japan’s population aging, Go sees autonomous vehicles as the future—even without a firm launch date. Partnering with Waymo and a major Japanese taxi operator, Go won’t build self-driving tech itself but will coordinate the rollout, waiting for regulatory approval. Meanwhile, they’re boosting global access for tourists and joining a growing race with Uber and Nissan to dominate Tokyo’s ride-hailing future.
