The 37 best Christmas gifts in the UK for tweens – chosen by 10- to 12-year-olds

We asked 20 tweenagers what they already own, love and think would make great gifts. Turns out it’s Lego, dance mats and plenty of lotions and potions • The best Christmas gifts for teenagers Buying for someone in the tweenage years can be a balancing act: while some kids are still crafting, enjoying board games and deep into Lego, others have moved on to skincare and guitars. So, in an effort to cover the whole range, I spoke to 20 tweens (from 10 to 12 years old) from across the country. But instead of asking what they want, I quizzed them on the things they already have, truly love and use

Healthcare Tech Firm Agrees To Pay Up to $10,000,000 After Breach Exposes Medical Records of 13,300,000 Patients

A healthcare technology company has agreed to a settlement worth up to $10 million after hackers exposed the sensitive medical records of 13.3 million patients. New York Attorney General Letitia James and officials from Connecticut, Michigan and New Jersey say Perry Johnson & Associates (PJ&A) and its affiliated companies have agreed to strengthen their data security […] The post Healthcare Tech Firm Agrees To Pay Up to $10,000,000 After Breach Exposes Medical Records of 13,300,000 Patients appeared first on The Daily Hodl.

AI datacentres plan on-site power stations on huge scale despite climate risks, research reveals

181GW of gas-fired capacity proposed for sites in US and Europe because of delays in connecting to national grids, says report Developers of AI datacentres plan to build on-site climate-destroying gas power stations on a huge scale to meet their energy demands, research reveals. Datacentres planned across the US, the UK and mainland Europe have proposals to build fossil fuel plants on-site to create 181GW of gas-fired capacity because of delays to connect to national grids, according to the findings. This is almost four times the total peak electricity demand of Great Britain. Continue reading

Competing with DJI, this company has built a desktop photography robot

A food creator wants to slowly push the camera from the panoramic view of the dining table to a bowl of noodles. This action is not difficult, but the difficulty is that he does not have a second person to help him push it, and there is no space to set up a slide rail on the table. Finally, he cut a fixed camera position. The picture was clear, but it lacked the sense of breathing. This table is the real scene for many content creations today. Product reviews, food, beauty, live streaming, product delivery, a large number of shootings all take place within a few square meters. In fact, the equipment is not bad: the mobile phone can shoot 4K, the pocket gimbal can stabilize the picture, and the picture quality of the camera has already exceeded the needs of most people. But once the lens needs to "move" and needs to be pushed, pulled, circled, raised and lowered, the set of things in ordinary people's hands cannot be connected. Cameras are good enough, but moving a lens is still a craft that requires years of training. What Yueqian Chuangxin does is to turn it into an action that a machine can perform. The founder, Zeng Cheng, worked on a film crew and studied robot trajectory optimization during his master's degree. The company was established in 2023. It first made large-scale photography robots for film crews. Later, it lost weight along the way and switched its technical route to a five-kilogram desktop product. What supports this switch is the precise understanding of constant loads in dedicated scenarios: the weight of the camera as an end load is constant. After leveling, the gravity is balanced. The motor's job is not to lift the camera, but to move the camera. From this, zero-gravity direct drive technology is derived, which is also the basis for lightweight products. The combination of full freedom and AI director decision-making forms the product path of Yueqian Innovation - the first generation serves professional creators, and the second generation moves towards the consumer level, and may enter the price range of DJI and Shadowstone. The imaging industry is reaching a point where new answers are needed. The ceiling of parameter competition has appeared, and the portable experience has reached its limit. The next stage of competition is no longer about "shooting clearly", but about helping users truly complete the content they want to shoot. A startup company of thirty people
