The headset covers your eyes and contains either two displays or a single display that’s split in half and shows two different images. Each image is shown to one of your eyes in a manner that prevents your eye from seeing the other image. Since the image shown to each eye is from a slightly different angle, your brain interprets the images as three-dimensional....

Colorado State University researchers recently published a paper on an artificial intelligence (AI) system to train dogs. The researchers used AI to train the software on thousands of canine images. The hope is that computers could one day be used for an automated dog training system. “One of the ways that AI excels is in the ability to perform repetitive tasks uninterruptedly,” Cady Bocum, co-founder and CEO of AI solutions provider GBSN Research, who was not involved in the research, said in an email interview....
Apple’s AirPods and Apple’s new AirTags are the most obvious hookup since sofa-cushion-gaps and TV remotes. It would be extraordinary if Apple didn’t offer the pairing in the next version of its wireless earbuds. But it shouldn’t stop there. AirTag tech could be built into all kinds of gear. “I personally would have loved AirTag functionality for my AirPods Pro case when I misplaced it,” technology review analyzer Tavis Lochhead told Lifewire via email....

For most of us, as long as the display is bright enough, sharp and contrasty enough, and makes our photos look good, we’re happy. But some users want more. They might need super-accurate colors for editing photos or color-grading movies. They might need the extra brightness that HDR requires. Or they might just love watching movies in a technically critical manner, yet also on a curiously small screen. These new MacBooks offer some crazy customizations to make all these folks happy....
In 2016, Apple added the Touch Bar to the MacBook Pro, a touch-screen strip that replaced the regular F-keys row at the top of the keyboard. From day one, people didn’t like it.

That said, this isn’t a lightning-fast computer, and there are a few corners Asus had to cut to bring it down to this price point....

Pay particular attention to addresses and, more importantly, ZIP codes. You should also ensure that the greeting lines or other areas where you have inserted several fields in succession are all filled out correctly. Accuracy While this may seem like common sense, you would be surprised at how many people mess up their mail merges because they didn’t check for accuracy....
Germany-based Behringer has been making audio products since the 80s, but recently it has become known for its attractive knockoffs of well-known synthesizers. It seems to happily skirt copyrights, selling versions of classics from Moog, Oberheim, Sequential, and more, at prices that rival the software plugin versions. And often, Behringer’s versions offer features unavailable in the originals, like MIDI, or preset saving. But is this kind of copying ethical? And can these ultra-cheap devices help create a new wave of young musicians?...
