  • Galaxy Watch: Two setting tweaks that banish random wakeups (defying the 'never use AOD' rule)
    November 10, 2025, 8:28 AM EST. In this consumer-tech piece, the author argues that the stock settings on most smartwatches create constant, unwanted wakeups. With the Galaxy Watch, the default combo of Raise to Wake enabled and Always On Display (AOD) off often triggers random wakeups during daily life, turning the watch into a distraction. Citing a Florida University study on attention disruption, the piece notes how even unseen notifications can derail focus. The breakthrough comes from a pair of tweaks that go against common advice: instead of blindly following the rule to disable AOD, the author adjusts two settings in tandem to curb wakeups and improve usability. The result? A less intrusive, more reliable wearable that finally feels useful in real life.
  • It's Not Just An AI Bubble - Here's What's At Risk Across Tech
    November 10, 2025, 8:26 AM EST. The AI boom isn't just hype; it's reshaping funding, strategy, and risk across tech ecosystems. The piece argues that a widening bubble could deflate as capital rotates, returns compress, and competition intensifies. Startups chase AI dominance with aggressive valuations, while incumbents rush to deploy machine learning and generative AI at scale. But headlines mask real exposures: overreliance on data, fragile infrastructure, and talent shortages that slow deployment. Regulators scrutinize privacy and antitrust concerns; security risks mount as adversaries target AI systems. Investors and companies must emphasize risk management, diversify vendor bases, and align incentives with long-term value rather than runaway hype. The payoff remains substantial-but only with prudent planning and sustainable models.
  • Tesla Cybertruck chief Siddhant Awasthi exits after eight years
    November 10, 2025, 8:24 AM EST. Tesla's head of the Cybertruck program, Siddhant Awasthi, is leaving the company after more than eight years. Awasthi, who began as an intern, has steered the Cybertruck from its engineering phase to large-scale production, leading product strategy, quality, and supply chain efforts and also taking charge of the Model 3 program since July. His departure follows Tesla's record Q3 deliveries, driven by demand for a tax credit that expired on Sept. 30; analysts foresee a fourth-quarter slowdown as incentives end. The Cybertruck has faced headwinds, with discounts on inventory and a March recall filing showing about 46,096 units produced since the vehicle's November 2023 launch.
  • UK backs Altilium to scale EV battery cells from recycled materials
    November 10, 2025, 8:22 AM EST. UK government funding will back Altilium to demonstrate sustainable production of EV battery cells from recycled materials. With support from the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and Innovate UK, Altilium will scale its EcoAnode and EcoCathode recycling technologies to deliver anode and cathode materials from end-of-life batteries. The company has already produced CAM-containing cells at the UK Battery Industrialisation Centre and is expanding with an at-scale recycling facility in Plymouth. Altilium says it is the only UK producer of domestic, battery-ready CAM recovered from end-of-life EV batteries. The piece notes a European JV between CNGR Advanced Material and revomet and highlights the broader growth of the advanced battery-recycling sector in the US, where billions have been invested despite China's current capacity dominance.
  • Stay cool in winter: How winter sports enthusiasts can protect their wearables
    November 10, 2025, 8:20 AM EST. Winter sports push smart devices to their limits. In cold, moisture and wind threaten wearables like smartwatches and phones, with the battery usually taking the first hit when the temperature drops. A common mistake is storing devices outside clothing; keeping them in the jacket's inner pocket shields them from cold, moisture, and impact. Practical tips: avoid letting the battery fully discharge and don't keep charging above about 80%, as many devices auto-limit to extend life. If a gadget sits unused for months, a monthly top-up can prevent it from dying. These routines feed a bigger picture: a more sustainable circular economy where devices are repaired rather than discarded, helping winter athletes stay powered, accurate, and ready for action.
