Sony’s Xperia 1 VIII is still a phone for the fans

✇The Verge - All Posts
By: Dominic Preston

The 1 VIII doesn’t look much like any Xperia that’s come before.

The Xperia 1 VIII marks an attempt at a step change for Sony's flagship phone line. Not only has it had an aesthetic overhaul, but Sony has also revamped the camera system, dropping the continuous optical zoom telephoto that's defined the last four generations of Xperia phone.

It's not all different. Sony staples like a 3.5mm headphone jack and microSD card slot remain, and a few specific design touches, like a thick front bezel that fits stereo speakers, have stayed intact. Sony's ambitious pricing hasn't changed either: The Xperia 1 VIII isn't launching in the US, but in the UK and Europe, it starts from £1,399 / €1,499 (about $1,850), r …

AI europea, a realizzare il progetto sarà un consorzio guidato da un'azienda italiana

✇HDblog.it
By: HDblog.it

La Commissione europea ha selezionato il consorzio EUROPA come vincitore del Frontier AI Grand Challenge, un progetto volto a sviluppare un modello di intelligenza artificiale europeo avanzato, open source e capace di operare in tutte le 24 lingue ufficiali dell'UE. Ma l'obiettivo remoto è quello di rafforzare la sovranità tecnologica dell'UE, e quindi colmare il divario con i grandi attori globali dell'IA.

Il modello sarà progettato per essere competitivo a livello internazionale, accessibile a ricercatori, imprese e istituzioni pubbliche. Henna Virkkunen, Vicepresidente esecutiva "per la sovranità tecnologica, la sicurezza e la democrazia", ha dichiarato:

L'Europa può essere leader nell'IA avanzata alle proprie condizioni. EUROPA creerà un modello europeo all'avanguardia per l'IA in tutte le 24 lingue dell'UE, dimostrando che possiamo competere con i migliori rimanendo fedeli ai nostri valori. Si tratta di rafforzare la capacità dell'Europa di plasmare il futuro dell'IA con apertura, fiducia e autonomia strategica al centro.

Suzuki Bike Day: non solo motori per il brand giapponese

✇HDblog.it
By: HDblog.it
Per Suzuki la passione non è fatta solo di motori e prestazioni. Da anni il marchio nipponico affianca la propria attività nel settore delle auto, delle moto e dei motori marini, offrendo un impegno concreto anche nel mondo dello sport e nella beneficenza.Il frutto di questi impegni è raccolto nel Suzuki Bike Day, un evento capace di riunire migliaia di appassionati in una giornata dedicata al ciclismo, alla condivisione di valori comuni e alla beneficenza.Organizzato e promosso da Suzuki Italia – dopo il grande successo delle passate edizioni – il Suzuki Bike Day si è replicato anche quest’anno senza deludere, chiudendo questa sesta edizione con circa duemila partecipanti pronti a mettersi in gioco per una causa forte come la raccolta fondi per i bambini malati.<h2>Suzuki Bike Day 2026: tra mare e colline partendo dal Misano World Circuit</h2>Dalla prima manifestazione, datata giugno 2021, l’evento si è evoluto in maniera itinerante, trovando casa dopo le ultime edizioni proprio nella regione dei motori, la Romagna. Ad impreziosire negli ultimi tre anni, il Bike Day, sono state le partenze all’interno di circuiti leggendari del calibro di Monza, Imola e Misano e la partecipazione di atleti e personaggi dello sport come il dirigente sportivo ed ex ciclista professionista Davide Cassani.Il Suzuki Bike Day 2026 è stato ideato su un circuito di lunghezza variabile, dai 50 km della versione breve, agli oltre 65 di quella lunga, consentendo di fatto anche ai partecipanti non agonisti di questo sport, di poter lasciare il proprio segno.<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-275563" src="https://www.hdmotori.it/app/uploads/2026/06/sbd2026-3.jpg" alt="" width="1179" height="765" />Il percorso, che si è sviluppato tra mare e colline – ricco di paesaggi mozzafiato - è stato interdetto alla circolazione del traffico cittadino – per quasi la totalità dei chilometri – al fine di garantire maggiore sicurezza ai partecipanti; ad affiancare i quasi duemila partecipanti durante la pedalata vi erano i membri del Team Suzuki che a bordo delle loro vetture ammiraglie, come Suzuki Vitara Hybrid, si assicuravano della salute dei partecipanti; il servizio d’ordine e i fotografi di gara, gestiti sempre dal Team, si sono mossi durante tutto il tragitto su una flotta di moto Suzuki, arricchita dalla presenza di modelli come Suzuki V-Strom e Suzuki SV-7GX.<h2>L’impegno per la Dynamo Camp</h2>Da anni, Suzuki Italia sposa il progetto della Dynamo Camp, un’associazione che da tempo si impegna sul nostro territorio, al fine di offrire programmi di terapia ricreativa a minori affetti da patologie gravi o croniche. La beneficenza devoluta con l’evento è figlia di ogni partecipante, in quanto conseguendo la quota d’iscrizione alla gara, l’intera somma viene devoluta direttamente alla Dynamo Camp; grazie al numeroso consenso raccolto dall’evento nelle ultime tre edizioni, si è raggiunta una somma di circa centomila euro, che ha permesso ad oltre ottanta ragazzi affetti da malattia di ricevere le cure promesse.Le dichiarazioni di Massimo Nalli, presidente e amministratore delegato Suzuki Italia: "una multinazionale come Suzuki - che costruisce auto, moto e motori marini - ha il dovere, oltre che il piacere, di restituire qualcosa ( esperienze come il Bike Day ndr) ai propri clienti e ai potenziali clienti. Noi lo facciamo supportando la passione per lo sport.”<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-275564" src="https://www.hdmotori.it/app/uploads/2026/06/sbd2026-2.jpg" alt="" width="1179" height="670" />

Cibo in frigo: è ancora buono o da buttare? Ce lo dice Schnoz, il naso smart

✇HDblog.it
By: HDblog.it

Fidarsi del proprio olfatto per determinare se la bistecca lasciata in frigo o la bottiglia di latte aperta chissà quando sono ancora buoni non è sempre molto sicuro. E bisogna fare molta attenzione in questi casi, perché gli agenti patogeni negli alimenti avariati possono essere molto pericolosi per la nostra salute. Un naso elettronico potrebbe tuttavia fare al caso nostro.

Sviluppato dall'Università di Berkeley, Schnoz è un dispositivo dotato di 16 piccoli sensori di gas in grado di rilevare gli odori degli alimenti con estrema precisione, identificando istantaneamente non solo l'eventuale presenza di patogeni, ma anche di allergeni come noci e arachidi. Carla Bassil, autrice dello studio, ipotizza che in futuro questa tecnologia possa venire integrata nei frigoriferi intelligenti: il dispositivo invia notifiche sullo smartphone per segnalare lo stato di conservazione dei cibi, avvisando ad esempio quando il pollo sta per scadere o lo yogurt non è più commestibile.

Prime Day 2026, le TOP offerte per la casa già attive! | VIDEO

✇HDblog.it
By: HDblog.it

Prime Day 2026 è ormai alle porte, i giorni ufficiali nei quali, su Amazon e non solo, si troveranno una pioggia di offerte sono quelli che vanno da 23 al 26 giugno; tuttavia, molti produttori e la stessa Amazon, hanno già iniziato a scontare alcuni prodotti. Proprio per questo motivo e per evitare di incappare in scam e finti sconti, abbiamo provato a selezionare per voi quelle che potrebbero essere delle offerte davvero molto interessanti, specie se state cercando piccoli elettrodomestici e altre apparecchiature per la casa e la cura della persona.

Qui di seguito li trovate elencati ma ricordatevi che per tutta la durata di questo Prime Day potete trovare la nostra selezione di offerte verificate nella sezione dedicata del sito. E se ancora non lo avete fatto potete anche entrare nel nostro canale Telegram per essere avvisati in tempo reale di tutte le nuove occasioni. Mi raccomando, almeno per questi giorni tenete le notifiche attive; le offerte più succose sono spesso infatti quelle "a tempo" e avere le notifiche attive può fare la differenza tra riuscire ad acquistare un prodotto o trovarlo già esaurito. Detto questo, partiamo!

NARWAL FLOW 2, FLOW E FREO Z10 ULTRA

Iniziamo con un bel trittico di robot lavapavimenti, tutti di Narwal, azienda che conosciamo molto bene e che in questi ultimi anni si è fatta conoscere per saper realizzare dispositivi di qualità, dotati di tecnologie all'avanguardia e, soprattutto, di un design spesso molto curato e sobrio; aspetto da non sottovalutare considerando che, di frequente, questi robottini campeggiano nel salotto di casa, o comunque a vista. Il primo che vi consigliamo è il Narwal Flow 2, sostanzialmente il top di gamma dell'azienda. Si tratta di un robot di fascia alta con sistema a rullo e tecnologia FlowWash che utilizza acqua calda a 60 gradi per l'autopulizia del rullo già durante le fasi di pulizia. C'è poi una potenza di aspirazione di ben 31.000 Pa e una spazzola con sistema anti-groviglio che evita che i capelli lunghi e i peli di animale si attorciglino sulle setole. Ovviamente il sistema di navigazione è completo e sfrutta l'AI per l'evitamento degli ostacoli. La batteria da 7.000 mAh è perfetta per pulire grandi superfici senza tornare di continuo alla base di ricarica. Il prezzo del Flow 2 in offerta è di 999 euro, a fronte di un listino di 1299. Inoltre, con il nostro codice sconto HDBLOGPRIME, valido fino al 5 di luglio, è possibile ottenere un ulteriore 5% di sconto sul prezzo promozionale.

Alibaba lancia Qwen-Robot: l’AI che guida la nuova generazione di robot

✇HDblog.it
By: HDblog.it

Dopo averci lavorato per molto tempo, Alibaba ha infine presentato Qwen-Robot, una nuova famiglia di modelli progettata per consentire ai robot di comprendere l’ambiente circostante e agire in autonomia.

Parliamo in sostanza di intelligenza artificiale, ma strettamente specializzata a questo segmento, diversa quindi da quella che alimenta i chatbot di uso comune. Sviluppata dal Tongyi Lab e attualmente in fase di test con alcuni clienti aziendali di Alibaba Cloud, la suite Qwen-Robot è composta da tre modelli distinti, ognuno specializzato in un aspetto fondamentale dell’intelligenza fisica.

Grazie a essi si vuole permettere ai robot di interpretare istruzioni e comprendere ciò che vedono, ma anche di muoversi, interagire con gli oggetti e prevedere le conseguenze delle proprie azioni. I moderni modelli linguistici e multimodali possono descrivere come completare un’attività, ma trasformare quelle indicazioni in movimenti concreti richiede competenze molto diverse. Le soluzioni di Alibaba sono Qwen-RobotNav, dedicato alla navigazione e agli spostamenti, Qwen-RobotManip, focalizzato sulla manipolazione degli oggetti, e infine Qwen-RobotWorld, che funge da modello del mondo, prevedendo l’evoluzione degli ambienti e gli effetti delle azioni del robot.

FIFA World Cup schedule today: Games, kickoff times, livestream info for June 21

✇Mashable
Yamal dribbles the ball at the World Cup

The 2026 World Cup continues with one of the of the biggest days of the tournament so far.

Today, June 21, sees action from Uruguay, Spain, and Belgium, with four group games in total. There are some intriguing matchups — not to mention world-class players — so we recommend catching as much of today's soccer as possible.

The action kicks off from 12 p.m. ET. We've broken down the details for you below. Here's what you need to know to tune in live today.

FIFA World Cup schedule today: June 21

How to watch FIFA World Cup games today

Watch Spain vs. Saudi Arabia

Spain are European Champions and entered the World Cup as one of the favorites to win it. They came unstuck in their opening game against underdogs Cape Vedre, failing to score and having to settle for a draw — one of the biggest talking points of the tournament so far. Not even superstar player Yamal could make the difference. Fans would expect the Spanish to beat Saudi Arabia, but fans would have also expected the same thing against Cape Vedre. Live coverage will be on FOX and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

Watch Belgium vs. Iran

Belgium have a solid squad of experienced players — including Kevin De Bruyne, Romelu Lukaku, and Leandro Trossard — but they had a frustrating first-round game with Egypt that ended 1-1. Iran were also held to a draw in an unexpectedly exciting game against New Zealand. This next game is one to watch, with both teams looking to put three points on the board and advance to the knockout stage. Belgium are considered the stronger team but Iran have the capability to sting bigger opponents. Live coverage will be on FS1 and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

Watch Uruguay vs. Cape Verde

Uruguay had a miserable opening game, drawing 1-1 with Saudi Arabia. Can the original World Cup winners improve in their second outing? Before the tournament started, the smart money would have been on Uruguay sailing past World Cup first-timers Cape Verde, but Cape Verde's performance against Spain was nothing short of incredible. They had a near-impenetrable defense, bolstered by a legend-making performance from their goalkeeper, Vozinha. Fans are excited to see if the underdogs can do it again. Live coverage will be on FS1 and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

Watch New Zealand vs. Egypt

New Zealand are also underdogs. Indeed, this is just the Kiwis' third World Cup appearance, but they showed grit in their opening 2-2 draw with Iran. And while Egypt have also played relatively few World Cups — this is just their fourth time in 90 years — they have potential right now following a semi-final finish at the African Cup of Nations and leadership from the one and only Mo Salah. Live coverage will be on ET, FS1 and Fox One. Peacock will carry the live Spanish-language coverage.

More live streaming options

Live TV cable replacement

Not interested in signing up for a standalone streaming service like Fox One or Peacock? You can sign up for a live TV cable replacement service, like YouTube TV or Hulu + Live TV.

These services carry over 100 live channels, but run off a WiFi connection. You'll get live access to Fox and FS1, plus a whole lot more. Here are some options to consider:

Watch the World Cup for free with a VPN

It's possible to watch the World Cup for free on international services like ITVX, BBC iPlayer, NOS, or RTÉ. Our global World Cup watch guide can walk you through the process.

You will need a VPN to live stream the World Cup on these free streaming services. We recommend ExpressVPN — a Mashable-tested service and an Official Tournament Supporter of the FIFA World Cup in the U.S., Canada, and Europe — as our VPN of choice for sport. It offers servers in 105 countries, a user-friendly app available on all major devices, a speedy connection, and up to 10 simultaneous connections.

TL;DR: Through June 28, you can get a Microsoft Office 2024 Home & Business lifetime license on sale for $89.97 (reg. $249.99).

Opening Word to write a quick document shouldn’t require a monthly subscription, but Microsoft 365 keeps the bills coming as long as you use it. Microsoft Office 2024 Home and Business is a one-time alternative, a single purchase that stays yours indefinitely, and it’s on sale now for $89.97 (reg. $249.99).

This license comes with the core Microsoft productivity apps: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote. It installs on one PC or Mac and runs as desktop software, which means it works fully offline and syncs your files once you reconnect. No more relying on an internet connection just to get some basic work done.

One of the biggest reasons to go for this version of Office is that it comes with all the new AI features. Excel handles large datasets more efficiently, PowerPoint lets you record full presentations with audio and video, and Outlook includes enhanced accessibility tools and improved search. Word introduces Focus Mode and Smart Compose, giving you a writing space that feels distraction-free and intelligently supportive.

This is not Microsoft 365, so there’s no OneDrive cloud storage and no Copilot built into the apps. You’re buying the software outright, with feature updates included and nothing renewing.

Stop paying for the same apps every month. Get a lifetime license for Microsoft Office 2024 Home and Business on sale for $89.97. Offer ends June 28 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
