A new smartwatch called O-Boy could become a lifesaver for people traveling in the world’s most remote places.

Designed by the Brussels-based studio Futurewave, the watch can send distress signals directly to satellites, meaning it works even where there’s no phone network — from mountains to open water.

The device acts as a standalone transmitter, giving users a way to call for help far beyond the reach of traditional mobile coverage. Futurewave says the goal was simple: build a smartwatch that can send an emergency alert “even in the most remote corners of the world.”

To make this possible, engineers integrated satellite hardware and antennas into a compact wearable. The rugged design is water-resistant, impact-protected and pressure-tolerant, while rounded surfaces keep it comfortable for everyday wear.

With its black-and-red emergency color scheme and satellite connectivity, O-Boy aims to improve safety for explorers, remote workers and adventurers far from civilization.

AI Images Of A Caterpillar Pickup Went Viral — So The Company Built One

In late 2024, AI-generated images of a Caterpillar pickup truck started spreading across the internet. The concept wasn’t real, but it grabbed a lot of attention — including from Caterpillar itself.

The company, best known for its yellow construction and mining machines, said it also received thousands of messages from customers and contractors asking what a Cat-branded truck would actually look like.

So Caterpillar decided to answer that question.

At CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026, the company revealed the Cat Truck — a custom pickup built on a Ford Super Duty. The project was created to bring the viral AI concept into the real world and show what a Caterpillar-style truck for job sites might look like.

Despite the hype, it’s not a new production model. Caterpillar says the truck is currently just a one-off concept — essentially a real-life version of an idea that started with AI.

314 trillion digits of π… on a single machine 🤯

A team from StorageReview just set a new world record, calculating π to 314 trillion decimal places in a nonstop 110-day run — perfectly timed for Pi Day (3/14).

What’s wild? They didn’t use a massive cloud setup. Just one Dell PowerEdge server running 24/7 for nearly four months with zero downtime.

In reality, science doesn’t even need that many digits — NASA says ~37 is enough to measure the observable universe accurately. So why push further?

Because it’s not really about π. These runs are extreme stress tests for modern hardware — pushing processors, memory, and storage to their limits, exposing weaknesses and improving systems used in AI, simulations, and big data.

The machine handled insane data flow (~280 GB/s) and still beat previous 300T records with less power and complexity.

There’s still no finish line — π never ends, and neither does the race 🚀

New leak about the Find X9 Ultra camera setup 👀

The 50MP 10× periscope super telephoto lens comes with an F3.5 aperture, allowing roughly 3× more light intake compared to the Samsung S23 Ultra. It’s also the only native 10× optical zoom in the industry — basically like having a built-in teleconverter, so no extra accessories are needed while keeping things compact.

The 3× zoom is also the industry's highest light-gathering 200MP (OV52A) periscope lens.

Camera details:
☑ 10× → 1/2.76" 50MP, F3.5
☑ 3× → 1/1.28" 200MP, F2.2

The 230mm (10×) focal length is pretty much at its limit for achieving an F3.5 aperture.

Uber is going all in on robotaxis — and teaming up with Nvidia to make it happen 🚗🤖

Starting in 2027, Uber and Nvidia will roll out fully autonomous (Level 4) robotaxis in Los Angeles and San Francisco, with plans to expand to 28 cities globally by 2028. The cars will run on Nvidia’s AI, designed to handle complex, real-world driving situations.

The launch will happen in phases — data collection → supervised rides → fully driverless fleets.

At the same time, Uber is leaning into partnerships instead of building its own tech, investing up to $1.25B in Rivian to secure thousands of electric robotaxis, including 10,000 vehicles planned for the Uber app by 2028.

The long-term vision is a global network mixing human drivers and robotaxis, with tens of thousands of autonomous vehicles across major cities. Competition is heating up (Waymo, Tesla), and Uber is betting it can become the platform connecting it all.
