Hasta La Gadget!

These days our smartphones are more than capable of taking excellent photos, but there are times when a dedicated camera can still get the job done a lot better. This is namely due to a variety of factors, such as having a bigger sensor, bigger lens, better quality glass, and so on. If you’re after such a camera but rather not deal with having to change lenses, Fujifilm’s upcoming X100V could be worth checking out.

According to the latest rumors, it has been suggested that the X100V could actually be borrowing at least one feature from the X-Pro3, and that is its two-way tilt screen. In the past, the tilt screens on Fujifilm’s cameras have typically been limited to folding downwards, but with the X-Pro3, it can also flip out from the side.

Of course, whether or not this is a big deal to you depends on your needs. Having the ability to tilt the display at multiple angles is not a bad thing because it lets you get down low or up high while still being able to see your composition. Of course, many photographers have made do without such tilt screens so like we said, it depends on your needs and shooting style.

The X100V will be part of Fujifilm’s X100 series of compact cameras. It will be the fifth in the series and if the rumors are to be believed, it could launch as early as February 2020.

We’ve known for a while that Apple is interested in the health technology sector. The Apple Watch is a prime example of that interest, where the device comes with several health monitoring tools such as a heart rate monitor and an ECG, both of which have managed to save multiple lives in the past.

However, Apple wants to explore more health technologies, more specifically, preventive ones. Speaking at a recent Q&A session with IDA Ireland CEO Martin Shanahan, Apple’s CEO Tim Cook was quoted as saying, “I think you can take that simple idea of having preventive things and find many more areas where technology intersects healthcare, and I think all of our lives would probably be better off for it.”

For those unfamiliar, preventive healthcare technology basically tries to detect a problem before it happens, as opposed to reacting to it when it does happen. For instance, Apple’s heart rate monitor could be considered preventive to a certain extent, as it informs users when it detects a heart rate that is abnormal, giving users time to seek medical help before it’s too late.

Cook adds, “Most of the money in healthcare goes to the cases that weren’t identified early enough. It will take some time but things that we are doing now – that I’m not going to talk about today – those give me a lot of cause for hope.”

Apple has also been rumored to be working on a non-invasive way of measuring glucose levels through the Apple Watch, although that has yet to be officially announced.

A lot of carmakers these days are creating electric cars or hybrids at the very least. This is because as the world starts to run out of fossil fuels, creating cars that don’t require them makes a lot of sense. In fact, Japanese carmaker Subaru has announced that by the mid 2030s, they plan to sell only electric cars.

As it stands, Subaru already sells hybrid and plug-in hybrids, but the company is expected to develop what they are calling a “strong hybrid” vehicle using Toyota’s technology. Speaking during a briefing, Chief Technology Officer Tetsuo Onuki said that despite using Toyota’s technology, they still want to make cars that are distinctively Subaru.

Onuki was quoted as saying, “Although we’re using Toyota technology, we want to make hybrids that are distinctly Subaru. It’s not only about reducing CO2 emissions. We need to further improve vehicle safety and the performance of our all-wheel drive.” Subaru also expects that by 2030, at least 40% of its cars sold will either consist of hybrids or battery powered electric vehicles.

Subaru’s approach and stance is an interesting one, where they expect their entire lineup to be fully electric by the mid 2030s. This is versus other carmakers such as Bentley and Ferrari who aren’t expected to debut full electric cars anytime soon.

The “Last Week Tonight” host takes a break to rant about one smartphone feature that bugs him.
