HUAWEI Watch Ultmate

Huawei is venturing into the higher-end smartwatches with the launch of the Huawei WATCH Ultimate in Europe and the United Kingdom.

Available in the Voyage Blue and Expedition Black colorways, the Huawei WATCH Ultimate will retail starting on April 3, with discounts of up to £100 off when customers subscribe to the Huawei Store newsletter.

League of its own

The ultra-flagship wearable is exquisitely crafted to be 4.5 times stronger and 2.5 times harder than stainless steel. It is masterfully designed and packed with state-of-the-art features.

The exclusive watch faces showcase the time from 24 major cities across 24 time zones, respectively. The Huawei WATCH Ultimate features an LTPO AMOLED display with 1,000nits of peak brightness and a sapphire glass cover.

Both models have three buttons that resemble the style of a traditional high-end watch. The buttons are: a 3D Rotating Crown, Function Button, and Assist Button.

Diving mode: Deeper into capabilities

The watch pushes the standard of water resistance performance. It’s designed to withstand deep-sea pressure. The WATCH Ultimate supports up to 100 meters of dive level water resistance for up to 24 hours. What’s more, audio capabilities work in these conditions.

Diving Mode brings four different modes to choose from: recreational scuba dive, technical scuba dive, free-dive, and gauge. The watch uses the Bühlmann decompression algorithm to monitor diving data constantly and provide suggestions in real-time.

Expedition mode: Face the unknowns

Taking the device outdoors to meet the demands of adventures is also a breeze. With a specially-designed Expedition Mode feature, users can be assured of assistance for off-roading, camping, and hiking, to name a few.

With Precision Dual-Frequency Five-System GNSS positioning capabilities, the watch accurately records the user’s exercise trajectory with marking points and supports precise navigation of marked points.

Healthcare, connectivity on your wrist

As expected, the WATCH Ultimate brings all-day heartrate monitoring via Huawei TruSeen 5.0+, ECG analysis, all-day SpO2 monitoring, and sleep tracking via Huawei TruSleep 3.0.

Smart features, including Bluetooth calls, quick replies, music playback, reminders, and a wide compatibility across Android and iOS devices are also guaranteed.

On a single charge, the WATCH Ultimate can be used for up to two weeks. A fast-charging system also allows it to be replenished fully within an hour, and to 25% in just 10 minutes.

Logitech introduces a dedicated shortcut for ChatGPT

Compatible with most keyboards and mice

Artificial intelligence is already meant to simplify a workflow. However, despite the ease, there are still a few ways to optimize the process. Today, Logitech has launched a new shortcut to launch ChatGPT straight from your mouse or keyboard.

Minus programmable hotkeys or buttons, there are hardly any built-in way to easily access an AI model. For a typical workflow, it still consists of manually opening the model on a separate window and keeping it within cursor’s reach throughout the day.

Logitech is simplifying the process by adding a dedicated shortcut for its devices. With a Logitech keyboard or mouse supported by the Logi Options+ app, users can program a keyboard or mouse button for the new Logi AI Prompt Builder.

Once activated, the AI Prompt Builder automatically accesses easy options for highlighted text. For example, users can easily rephrase or summarize the text. Likewise, they can input their own custom queries. By eliminating a few clicks and some typing throughout the day, the new tool hopes to save you time.

While most Logitech keyboards and mice are compatible with the new tool, it is also more easily accessible with the new Logitech Signature AI Edition Mouse. The new mouse has a dedicated button just for AI prompts. If you’re an AI power user, this one is perfect for you.

X’s AI accused Klay Thompson of vandalizing houses with bricks

AI thought joke posts were real

Despite the ease that the technology promises, artificial intelligence still isn’t the most reliable thing you can depend on. Today’s models can still flub answers. Now, the pitfalls of AI are abundantly clear with a few mishaps on X. Golden State Warrior Klay Thompson was just “accused” of a vandalism spree involving bricks.

Late Tuesday night, X presented an AI-generated news snippet. The article, posted soon after the Warriors’ play-in loss to the Sacramento Kings, reads: “Klay Thompson Accused in Bizarre Brick-Vandalism Spree.”

The snippet hilariously described an incident where Thompson supposedly vandalized houses in Sacramento with bricks. Thankfully, according to the snippet, no one was hurt. It even had a few sources for its claims below the news summary.

The sources, however, are just joke posts stemming from the recently concluded game. In that do-or-die game, Thompson put up a staggering 0 points on ten shot attempts, the most misses without a make by a Warrior since the ’68 season. Naturally, everyone joked that the Warriors guard just threw bricks all over Sacramento.

Now, X is currently experimenting with a new AI feature called Grok. The model collates trending topics and creates snippets of what’s happening for X users. However, it’s not exactly the smartest in determining real news from satiric ones. The feature notes as much, carrying a fine-print caveat warning users to “verify its outputs” because it’s an early feature and can make mistakes.

New X users must pay a dollar per year to post and reply

Rolling out globally now

Published

New users on X might soon face a tough time on the platform. The social media website will likely start charging new accounts a small fee for the right to post on the platform.

Now, the fee isn’t a new one. Almost six months ago, the company tested the paid system in New Zealand and the Philippines. New users in those countries had to pay a dollar per year for the ability to post and reply to content.

As spotted by X Daily News on the same platform, the company might be ready to take the experiment to a larger market. New text strings have shown that the policy is rolling out worldwide.

The policy is designed to combat a wave of bots appearing on the platform. By preventing new accounts from creating posts, X hopes to stave off the standard behavior of bots these days. You might have noticed them as OnlyFans creators in unrelated posts, peddling NSFW content on their bio.

Though the global rollout was only just spotted, owner Elon Musk has seemingly confirmed the change. Replying to X Daily News, Musk says that it is “the only way to curb the relentless onslaught of bots.” He says that the current breed of bots can easily bypass simple checks these days.
