The best docking stations for laptops in 2025

Laptops have long rivaled desktops in terms of power. But those slim and portable machines lack something their tower-shaped cousins tend to have in abundance: ports. Docking stations let you plug in monitors, mice, keyboards, storage devices and more using just a single port on your laptop.

Umělá inteligence navrhla velmi podivné bezdrátové čipy. Ale fungují skvěle

Mikročipy pro bezdrátovou komunikaci bývají pekelně složité a jejich vývoj je velmi náročný. Když se toho chopila umělá inteligence, přišla s designy, které by lidské tvůrce nejspíš nenapadly. Nikdo přesně neví, jak vlastně fungují. Fungují ale skvěle, často lépe než lidské výtvory. Některé designy navržené inteligence dokonce ještě ani neumíme vyrobit. http://www.osel.cz/13859-umela-inteligence-navrhla-velmi-podivne-bezdratove-cipy-ale-funguji-skvele.html

A holographic windshield from Hyundai Mobis is a big upgrade for in-car HUDs at CES 2025

Automotive heads up displays (HUDs) have been around as far back as 1988, and while they’ve gotten brighter and more colorful over the years, even today’s most sophisticated implementations still feel a bit primitive. But after seeing what Hyundai Mobis (which makes auto parts for Hyundai, Kia and Genesis) is calling the world’s first full-windshield holographic display at CES 2025, it felt like I was looking at a major evolution in-car infotainment.
