From 1979 ideas to 2026 execution Back in 1979, computer scientists were experimenting with pointing at screens and speaking basic voice commands to get computers to draw shapes on a wall. It was the dream of spatial computing and intuitive interaction, but for decades the technology simply was not there. You still had to sit…

Electric vehicles are awesome, their ongoing costs are dramatically cheaper than ICE vehicles, but there's one maintenance cost you can't avoid.. tyres which are rarely cheap. Typically EVs weigh more than comparable-sized vehicles thanks to their high capacity battery packs, and combined with instantaneous torque from the electric motor(s), and the need for acoustic foam…

We have all seen it happen on our local streets. A car suddenly appears parked on the nature strip, sits untouched for days or weeks, and leaves the neighbourhood guessing whether someone has visitors over or if an offender dumped a stolen vehicle after a joyride. Until now, finding out what was actually going on…

Australia’s electric-vehicle market just had its most important month on record and next week, the country’s biggest EV show arrives in Sydney with an vehicle lineup to match the adoption curve. Organisers expect more than 40,000 visitors, who will have the chance to see more than 100 different electric vehicle models at the event. Everything…

Australia has had no shortage of data centre announcements recently and today, is another massive one from Nvidia. Nvidia says it is working with eight Australian Nvidia Cloud Partners and infrastructure operators to expand land, power, and powered-shell capacity for what it calls DSX AI factories, targeting a buildout of up to 2 gigawatts by…

NSW now has 150,000 registered electric vehicles, according to the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water. The figure dropped this week as part of World EV Day, following a renewable energy milestone the week before as Australia passed 500,000 total EVs nationally and with battery EVs taking about a quarter of new-car…

In an industry full of identical black slabs, Nothing continues to be one of the few brands actually having fun with smartphone design. With the new Phone (4b), they are expanding their lineup to introduce a dedicated b-series, built specifically to lower the barrier of entry for younger buyers, students, or anyone who wants a…

If you spend any time behind a sim racing wheel, you know how dominant GT3 and prototype racing have become across modern platforms. While European GT categories offer close racing, they rely heavily on driver aids to keep everything tidy. For Australian sim racers, nothing quite matches the raw, sideways, arm-wrestling nature of modern V8…

Microsoft has announced that Copilot is expanding again. What started as an exclusive relationship with OpenAI, has since expanded to include Anthropic models and now a third LLM, Grok is entering the chat. Microsoft has officially welcomed SpaceXAI's Grok to Copilot. This integration represents a practical win for enterprise users. Putting Elon Musk’s AI models…

AI training and inference for large language models requires a staggering amount of physical infrastructure. Finding an appropriate location that has ready access to power, internet and a bit of water, would be a challenge with steady growth, but the rate of growth in AI is unlike anything we've ever seen. Even as the frontier…
