ロシアがウクライナへの軍事侵攻を開始してから 今月で1年９か月。 いまだ東部や南部で激しい攻防が繰り返され、 兵士の犠牲も増え続けています。 また、パレスチナのガザ地区では、 イスラエル軍が激しい空爆や戦車による 軍事行動を拡大しており、 現在進行形で争いが起きています …

一方、日本では太平洋戦争の終結から 78年が経ち、戦争を直に知る人が 減り続けています。 忘れてはいけない戦争の記憶を、 次の世代にどう伝え、考えていくのか。 最新技術をいかして「体感」してもらおうという 新たな取り組みを取材しました。 （写真・文： ニュースLIVE！ゆう5時　溪 美智ディレクター）

The second-gen CZ Smart is a nice-looking smartwatch but so far has been plagued with laggy screens, poor battery life, and inaccurate health tracking.

Citizen is temporarily suspending sales of its second-gen CZ Smart watch due to a “technical issue.” The Wear OS watch, which launched in May, had a feature based on tech from IBM’s Watson and NASA to track a person’s alertness.

It appears the decision stems from negative experiences from reviewers. Michael Fisher — better known as MrMobile on YouTube — noted that Citizen said it would suspend sales after he had reached out to the company about the watch’s many issues. That was corroborated by a Wired story, in which reviewer Julian Chokkattu also detailed several bugs, like laggy screens, bad battery life, inaccurate tracking, and watchfaces that can’t even tell the correct time.

It finally happened, at least according to a new metric Nielsen began using two years ago: linear TV now accounts for less than 50 percent of all TV usage. This probably isn’t a surprise unless you’re reading this on the couch while watching the NBC Nightly News. Between YouTube, TikTok, and streaming channels, people have a lot of ways to occupy their video-viewing time.

Approximately two years ago, Nielsen started using a new metric for measuring how people spend their TV-watching time. It built in buckets for broadcast TV, cable TV, streaming, and a catchall called “Other” that accounted for people using gaming consoles and media players. The latest report shows broadcast and cable TV each dropping about one percent from June 2023 to July 2023. Streaming and the “Other” category each gained that one percent in the same time period.

After a six hour hearing, the California Public Utilities Commission voted to open the floodgate to autonomous vehicles. Public comment was sharply divided over the expansion of self-driving cars in San Francisco.

Waymo and Cruise were approved to operate their paid robotaxi services 24/7 in San Francisco after a contentious six-hour public hearing in which residents voiced their support and opposition to the vehicles. It’s a big win for autonomous vehicle operators, who have spent tens of billions on the technology with very little return.

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) voted 3-to-1 in favor of allowing the two companies to operate their vehicles at any hour of the day throughout the city of San Francisco while charging for rides.

“Today is the first of many steps in bringing AV transportation services to Californians,” CPUC Commissioner John Reynolds said at the end of the hearing. (Reynolds, a former general counsel at GM-backed Cruise, had recused himself from previous votes, but said “the passage of time” allowed him to vote on today’s resolution.)

Google’s Pixel phones have slowly but surely been gaining traction in the smartphone market, and, according to a new report, much of that sales growth is now coming from Japan in 2023.

Counterpoint Research reports that Google Pixel shipments jumped 67% globally year-over-year coming into Q1 2023. That was driven largely by sales of Pixel 6a, Pixel 7, and Pixel 7 Pro. That alone is a solid figure, especially as the overall smartphone market continues to shrink.

For the first time ever, Pepsi has created a condiment that literally no one ever asked for: Introducing Colachup. If you were wondering what the ingredients are, well, it’s exactly as its spelt — cola and ketchup.

Now why in the world would someone eat ketchup and cola in one? Truth be told, we already do. The experts have spoken, \ including the Culinary Institute of America and legendary competitive eater Joey Chestnut, who said the best way to eat a hot dog is with a refreshing ice cold Pepsi.

JR East announced on Saturday that the system failure earlier the day that had prevented Mobile Suica app users from charging electric train fare money to their smartphones and the use of credit cards at JR East ticket offices had been restored around 1pm.

East Japan Railway Co. (JR East) said a system failure meant commuters were unable to pay for journeys with the Mobile Suica app or digital wallets and people planning trips were unable to reserve tickets online on Saturday.

The outage also affected credit card transactions at JR ticket offices and machines.

　東京大学国際ミュオグラフィ連携研究機構、同大学生産技術研究所、日本電気（NEC）、テクノランドコーポレーション、カターニア大学、ダラム大学、北京大学の7者は6月16日、世界初の「ミュー粒子」を使った地下ナビゲーション技術「muPS」の開発に成功したと発表した。

　ミュー粒子は、超新星爆発など宇宙空間での高エネルギーイベントによって加速される宇宙線と地球の大気が反応してできる素粒子。透過性が強く、人工物をほぼ真空中の光速度で通過可能という特徴をもっている。

　今回発表されたのは、地下空間のナビゲーション（位置情報検出）にミュー粒子を活用する取り組み。地下空間では電波が届かず利用できないGPSの代わりに、土や地下の構造物を透過できるミュー粒子を使い、ユーザーの正確な位置を特定するというものだ。

　システムは地上局とユーザー側の端末の2つで構成。精度は目標の1mには及ばなかったものの、都市内におけるGPS単独測位精度よりも高い精度を実現できたという。

Intel’s embarking on a massive branding simplification ahead of Meteor Lake.

The rumors were true: Intel is officially killing off the “i” in “Core i9,” “Core i7,” “Core i5,” and “Core i3” — and it won’t broadly refer to its next series of processors as “14th Gen,” either.

The chipmaker is now planning to sell three tiers of consumer chips: Intel, Intel Core, and Intel Core Ultra.

Why? Intel branding experts tell me the all-important word “Intel” was getting lost, and the radically different Meteor Lake chips coming in the second half of 2023 offered an opportunity to change things up.

Federal Trade Commission secures delay of $69bn deal which it argues would be anti-competitive

A US district judge has granted the Federal Trade Commission’s request to temporarily block Microsoft’s $69bn buyout of video game maker Activision Blizzard and set a hearing next week.

Microsoft’s bid to acquire the Call of Duty video game maker has been approved by the EU but blocked by British competition authorities, while the FTC, a US authority, has argued the transaction would give Microsoft’s video game console Xbox exclusive access to Activision games, leaving Nintendo consoles and Sony’s PlayStation out in the cold.
