However, it’s not the first time anyone has tried to stimulate humans in the form of robots. The story goes long back to ancient history where it’s believed that Hephaestus, the Greek god of blacksmiths created several different humanoids. So let us dig deeper into the topic to understand actually what are humanoids. A History of Humanoids The history of humanoids has a dozen of stories to offer but it all begins when Hephaestus, the Greek god of metalworks used a ton of copper sculpture, which could move from place to place on golden wheels as if they were automated machines....

After capriciously disappearing from YouTube in May 2018, Lia suddenly reappeared in May 2019, with a series of surreal and concerning Instagram live videos that clearly depicted her in an altered state of mind. While this instantly led her fans to speculate about her potential mental health and substance abuse issues, no real interventions were carried out until early January of this year when she self-recorded a particularly incoherent video featuring an older man....

In the recent past, I began to feel like I was getting second hand information while perusing my favorite news websites. Most of the articles contained several links to Twitter posts made by someone other than the author. So if all the hottest news leads were coming through Twitter first, I thought maybe I should give it a try. I have never really understood the platform, but I assumed it must be pretty great since I was seeing so many links in news stories....

Tuesday was the launch date for Taylor Swift’s upcoming 2023 tour. She’s playing almost exclusively weekends, stopping at different NFL stadiums across the country for two or more shows at a time.

TikTok user @rod didn’t quite see that at his workplace. The commenters went through some things yesterday and all deserve commendations and hugs....

Shillington Speakerphones are often utilized during virtual meetings. These devices ensure everyone seated around a conference table can be clearly heard by those not physically present. While this method enables information sharing, it is difficult to fully express and comprehend concepts by voice alone. Devices that combine a speakerphone with a webcam are now becoming popular. The addition of video adds value. Unfortunately, in order to present a view of everyone present, this equipment must be placed at the far end of the conference table....

W Shillington When I go for my morning walk, I like to listen to music. While Bluetooth earbuds provide excellent sound, their insulative qualities filter away outside noise. That can be dangerous when jogging during rush hour traffic. I also worry that the earpieces will slip from my ear and fall into the street. Today I am taking a close look at a Bluetooth speaker that, among its other uses, can be fastened to the same belt that holds my elderly jeans in place....

I spent a few days alternating between the ZIOCOM 30 Pin Bluetooth Adapter Receiver and the CoolStream Duo Bluetooth Adapter Receiver.

CoolStream claims to have a range of up to 30 feet while the ZIOCOM specs list a range of up to 33 feet. The ZIOCOM adapter fits many 30-pin Music Docking Stations like Sony, JBL, Yamaha, and Philips....
