No Internet? No Problem — “ARON” Is A Futuristic And Free Wi-Fi Alternative That Uses IR

Do you live alone in a place that doesn’t allow pets? Maybe you grew up with a cat or dog that cuddled up on your lap, wagged it’s tail, and fell asleep – and you miss that interaction. Well fear not, because Qoobo will help you with that.

What is Qoobo

Qoobo is an animatronic pillow that wags it’s tail when you give it attention. Whether from stroking or patting, Qoobo will react to your movement with it’s own.

As Martine Paris (http://go.redirectingat.com/?id=20383X779049&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fcontentnow&sref=rss) talked with Shunsuke Aoki (http://go.redirectingat.com/?id=20383X779049&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Faopico%3Flang%3Den&sref=rss) about this pet, we learned it was from Yukai Engineering – the same team that gave people “cat ears” that reacted to brain waves. This is a part in a long line of robotic dolls, hangers that interact, and other unique devices.

How to Get Qoobo

This is currently a project that you can pre-order now. Two colors, husky gray, and french brown, Qoobo is $90 USD.

Kenmore Washer, Dryer, Dishwasher

Kenmore wants to connect the appliances in our homes and to that end, they have unveiled some new smart appliances. The Kenmore smart washer and dryer will be available in February of this year. A smart app will allow you to remotely monitor your washer and dryer. This allows you to put your laundry in and run the actual load anytime you want.

Kenmore Smart Washer/Dryer

If you do a load of wash when you leave for work in the morning, you are going to come home to your clothes having a mildew smell, but with this system, you can run your load just before you get home from work and then put it in the dryer at that time with no hassle at all. You can even download customized cycles so you can do your laundry the way you like. Most washers don’t have a setting for kids clothes, but you can download one. These will cost $9.99 and you can get them from Sears and Amazon. The dryer has a steam setting that doesn’t require you to add water, which will be great for getting those wrinkles out.

Kenmore Smart Dishwasher

The company’s new dishwasher has a 360 degree power-wash arm that gets your dishes clean and runs only as long as it needs to. That will be a nice energy saver. It also has a tray up top just for utensils.

Through their nationwide partnership with Amazon, they will provide a white glove service that includes home delivery, installation, and these appliances will be maintained by Sears. You can find out more through Amazon (http://go.redirectingat.com/?id=20383X779049&xs=1&url=https%3A%2F%2Fgeekazine.com%2Fkenmore%2F&sref=rss), or Kenmore.com

Hive is the UK’s largest smart home provider, and they launched in the states last year. Their latest offering is the Hive View, which lets you keep on eye on all of the goings on in your home. This is not only a stylish indoor camera, but it also comes packed with some very cool features like HD live streaming and person detection. You can also set it to ignore your pets, making it all the more handy. It will live stream to your Hive app in 1080p HD, or playback videos from the last 24 hours if you need to review something.

About Hive View

The Hive View starts recording when it detects motion or sound, and sends a notification to your smartphone so you can check it out. Was it just a family member coming home unexpectedly or do you have an intruder? It has a handy magnetic arm that is also a charger. You can remove the cube camera and put it somewhere else should the need arise. This is great for keeping an eye on the kids in the other room. When you are done, just attach the cube to the arm again. You can have it away from the magnetic arm for as long as an home and a half at a time and it will record the area you want, just as long as it is in Wi-Fi range.

Combine the Hive View with Hive’s ecosystem of smart home products – thermostats, smart plug converters, and sensors that can tell lights to turn on/off – and your home is going to be a genius. We talk with Hive at CES 2018 to learn more about this product.

D-Link is showing off their latest wares at CES 2018 and has announced several new networking and connected home solutions, including a new router in partnership with McAfee that automatically protects connected devices on your home network. The D-Link AC2600 Wi-Fi Router is an all-in-one solution that includes D-Link’s high-performance dual-band 802.11ac router with MU-MIMO technology. This enhances network capacity and efficiency for users, while McAfee Secure Home Platform protects your devices connected to the network. On board is Intel’s Home Wi-Fi Chipset WAV500 Series, which will deliver amazing Wi-Fi connectivity to many devices at the same time, running a range of high-bandwidth applications. This router will protect you whether you are using it at home or for business and it will keep you safe.

The company also announced two new wireless indoor/outdoor camera kits for home surveillance. The LTE Full HD Indoor/Outdoor Camera (DCS-1820LH), and the Wire-Free Full HD Indoor/Outdoor Camera (DCS-2802KT) pack in some great new features like rechargeable batteries, IP65 rating, and the ability to record locally or to the cloud. They can be used anywhere in the home, even in places that don’t have Wi-Fi or electrical power, so they give you added flexibility and freedom. They also boast an impressive battery life of over 11 months.

Next up are two next generation Covr whole home Wi-Fi solutions: the 3-pack Dual-Band Whole Home Wi-Fi System (COVR-C1203) and the 2-pack Tri-Band Whole Home Wi-Fi System (COVR-2202). The Covr Wi-Fi systems are simple, intelligent solutions that feature a scalable mesh wireless network for ultra-fast speeds and seamless coverage of your home. Both models offer Smart Roaming and Smart Steering to guide devices to the best wireless band.

The Tri-Band Whole Home Wi-Fi System (COVR-2202) blankets your entire home with ultra-fast AC2200 Wi-Fi and offers tri-band connectivity, faster downloads and lag-free 4K streaming, and high-power amplifiers that will cover up to 6,000 sq. ft. with ultra-high-speed Wi-Fi. The Dual-Band Whole Home Wi-Fi System (COVR-C1203) stretches AC1200 wireless signal throughout your home with its 2×3 antenna configuration for maximum range and connectivity. It will deliver coverage up to 5,000 sq. ft. with three Covr points.

As you can see, D-Link has your whole home covered with some impressive new gear.

In this podcast (http://radiofreehpc.com/audio/RF-HPC_Episodes/Episode178/RFHPC178EuroExascale.mp3), the Radio Free HPC team looks at European Commission's recent move to fund exascale development (https://insidehpc.com/2018/01/european-commission-invest-eur-1-billion-exascale/) with 1 Billion Euros.While Europe already had a number of exascale initiatives under way, this is a major step forward in that it puts up the money. Under a new legal and funding structure, the Commission’s contribution will be $486 million, or roughly half of the projected EUR 1 Billion total. Before the new structure was put in place, the Commission was effectively limited to contributing only 20 percent of HPC initiatives undertaken with member states.After that, we do our Catch of the Week.Download the MP3 (http://radiofreehpc.com/audio/RF-HPC_Episodes/Episode178/RFHPC178EuroExascale.mp3) * Subscribe on iTunes (http://bit.ly/WgEZzd) * RSS Feed (http://bit.ly/QXKy3V)(http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RadioFreeHpcPodcast/~4/zNHPDYfw-5U)
