CES = Huge letdown. Tech has just given up. Little gadgets that can me throw away gifts are all that is standing out. Buttons That Help Your Dog Talk with You Have you ever wondered what it would be like if your dog could use human words to communicate with you better? A company called FluentPet just launched its upgraded FluentPet Connect WiFi-connected communication system for pets and the people who love them. Owners record simple words like ‘play,’ ‘walk,’ or ‘outside,’ onto paw-sized pushbuttons. The buttons rest in spongy hexagonal tiles that FluentPet tutorials and its community forum help you learn to use with your furry friend. The new version is WiFi connected and can capture data. Sync it up with the companion app, and you can get a text whenever your dog pushes one of your pre-programmed commands. "When people are in another room, they can get a text message from their dog [saying], 'I really need to go outside right now' you probably want to come to get me," said Leo Trottier, CEO of FluentPet. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I have received an advanced test version and I hooked it up for Bacchus and he only repeats the same words over and over: " FEED ME BITCH! " “This allows them to learn what each word means to us,” explains Ashley Evenson, a pet trainer in charge of FluentPet learner success. “It helps improve relationships all the way around. Communication [with your dog] should be a two-way street, and now it is.” You can pre-order the system now for $160, and ships in February.
This is kind of interesting and I'm sure what we are going to have to use to exist on Mars. Air-Scrubbing Houseplants A budding startup out of France called Neoplants showed us a palm-sized baby houseplant bioengineered to capture and contain the most dangerous indoor air pollutants in our homes. They’re calling it the Neo P1. “We’re working on the first generation of plants that can fight chemicals commonly found where we live,” Neoplant CEO Lionel Mora told me. “This includes formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, and xylene, VOCs that household cleaning products, paint, and a lot of other things constantly put in our air.” “It has pieces of DNA inside of them … that are able to use these pollutants as a carbon source,” added Patrick Torbey, Neoplant CTO. “So it’s a normal plant that adds these functions, these characteristics that totally clean the air. The plants will go on presale in Q1 of 2023 for $180, and the company plans to start shipping them in November.
Deere Jumps Into Electric Excavators in Tech Transformation Thu, January 5, 2023, 1:53 PM EST In this article: (Bloomberg) -- Deere & Co., the world’s largest manufacturer of farm equipment, launched a new electric excavator amid rising demand to reduce emissions in heavy industry. The Moline, Illinois-based company said the battery-powered machine will reduce daily operating costs for construction workers and road builders, while eliminating tailpipe emissions. The company said the electric version won’t sacrifice any power or performance, but did not immediately give details about how often the machine will need to recharge and how long it will take. “We’re not in the business of creating new technology just because it’s cool,” John May, Deere’s chief executive officer, said at an industry presentation in Las Vegas. “Technology is the key to driving sustainability on the farm and construction sites and empowering our customers to become more efficient and profitable in the age of significant challenges.” The announcement comes as large machinery companies like Deere and competitor Caterpillar Inc. begin to improve offerings of fully electric and autonomous equipment that miners, contractors and other heavy industry customers are demanding amid the energy transition. Producing these technologies at scale present some of the biggest challenges for these companies, which could be forced to make costly overhauls of their manufacturing processes. Deere also unveiled its so-called “ExactShot” technology, which uses a sensor to know when an individual seed is planted and immediately sprays the exact amount of fertilizer needed directly on it. The technology could save more than 93 million gallons of starter fertilizer per year, according to a statement.
