Sharp combines VR haptics and game controller in one glove
Sharp is working on a VR glove that combines tactile feedback with gamepad inputs. It remains to be seen if and when the devices will come onto the market.

Sharp arbeitet an einem VR-Handschuh, der taktiles Feedback mit Gamepad-Inputs kombiniert. Ob und wann die Geräte auf den Markt kommen, ist noch offen.
Does anyone out there have a #sharp E500s calculator with 256k internal memory?
I‘m just looking for a picture(!) of mainboard to help repairing a broken trace on mine. #followerpower #vintagecomputing #sharp_calculator #retrocomputing

One of the most repair-friendly computers of the 80s. Our #Sharp #MZ80K in the museum. But ultimately, it was also one of the dumbest computers ever launched.

If you want to play with my Pico MZ-80K/A emulator, this weekend is a good time to buy the hardware from Pimoroni as there's 50% of their VGA demo base and 25% off a Pico 2. An MZ-80K and MZ-80A for less than £15!

Lunar 
dust is often angular, sticky and #sharp. “We’ll be looking at how dust adheres to various materials. We’re taking stereo imaging as we descend to the surface to see how the rocket plume is affecting the lunar #regolith.

@muzej I have exactly the same setup and several other #Sharp #Pocket #Computers in my collection and these little machines are wonderful!
They were often used by sales people, engineers and insurance agents when being "out in the field".
I've once written a small text adventure game for the PC 1403 / PC 1248 models, "Pocket Quest" which you can find here:
#Larry #Ellison,
who briefly became the world's second-wealthiest person last week when his net worth surpassed #Jeff #Bezos' for a short time, 
outlined a scenario where AI models would analyze footage from security cameras, police body cams, doorbell cameras, and vehicle dash cams.
"Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that's going on," Ellison said,
describing what he sees as the benefits from automated oversight from AI and automated alerts for when crime takes place.
"We're going to have supervision," he continued.
"...if there's a problem, AI will report the problem and report it to the appropriate person."
Ellison's vision bears more than a passing resemblance to the cautionary world portrayed in #George #Orwell's prescient novel 1984.
In Orwell's fiction, the totalitarian government of Oceania uses ubiquitous "telescreens" to monitor citizens constantly,
creating a society where privacy no longer exists and independent thought becomes nearly impossible.
But Orwell's famous phrase
"Big Brother is watching you"
would take on new meaning in Ellison's tech-driven scenario, where AI systems, rather than human watchers, would serve as the ever-vigilant eyes of authority.
Once considered a sci-fi trope, automated systems are already becoming a reality:
Similar automated CCTV surveillance systems have already been trialed in #London Underground and at the 2024 #Olympics.
#China has been using automated systems (including AI) to surveil its citizens for years.
In 2022, Reuters reported that Chinese firms had developed AI software to sort data collected on residents using a network of surveillance cameras deployed across cities
-- and rural areas as part of China's "#sharp #eyes" campaign from 2015 to 2020.
This "one person, one file" technology reportedly organizes collected data on individual Chinese citizens,
leading to what The Economic Times called a "road to digital totalitarianism."
