Drone Carrying A Defibrillator Saves Its First Life

If you are facing a medical emergency, usually you would call for an ambulance. However, ambulances can be delayed because of traffic or if you’re in a particularly remote area, so what then? This is something that the medical industry is trying to solve, and it seems that they have had their first success story using a drone.

According to a report from Everdrone, it appears that one of the company’s Emergency Medical Aerial Delivery drone has managed to save a life. According to the report, emergency dispatchers over in Sweden managed to use the drone to air deliver a defibrillator to the home of someone in need.

Thankfully, there was also a bystander who happened to be a doctor who was on their way to work who knew how to operate the device after performing CPR. The entire delivery took about 3 minutes and was credited for helping to save the life of the patient.

According to Everdrone CEO Mats Sällström, “This is an excellent real-world example of how Everdrone’s cutting edge drone technology, fully integrated with emergency dispatch, can minimize the time for access to live-saving AED equipment.”

This is not the first time drones have been used for delivery. In the past we’ve come across stories of how drones are being tested to deliver food, but now it seems that using drones to deliver life-saving medical equipment or even medicine itself could now be a future we can look forward to.

Volvo is bringing YouTube and Google Home integration to its vehicles

Volvo says it will be the first automaker to offer direct integration with Google Home in its cars. You’ll be able to control certain functions remotely via Google Assistant. You might tell your phone to lock the doors or ask a smart speaker to start warming up your car as you’re getting ready to leave home.

Two-factor authentication is needed for “more sensitive commands,” like unlocking the doors. You can also learn info related to your car through Google Assistant.

More features will be added later, such as the option to schedule charging. Volvo will roll out Google Home integration in the coming months. To use it, you’ll need an Android-powered infotainment system that’s connected to the Volvo Cars app and a Google Assistant-enabled device.

It’s not the first time we’ve seen integration with connected home platforms in cars. GM and BMW owners can control smart home devices from vehicles with built-in Alexa, while Samsung and Google brought a SmartThings dashboard to some models with Android Auto. Still, Google Home is one of the more prominent connected home platforms around. If you have a smart speaker with Google Assistant enabled, these features might come in useful.

In addition, YouTube will be the first video streaming service on Volvo’s infotainment system. You’ll be able to download the app from the Play Store. The automaker offers unlimited data in certain markets, so you might be able to watch as many videos as you like without worrying about busting your data allowance.

For safety reasons, you’ll only be able to watch YouTube videos on the screen when the car’s stationary. That will ensure Volvo avoids the kind of controversy Tesla was embroiled in recently, when it emerged that games were playable on the infotainment system while a car was moving. The company said it would disable that option after the NHTSA said it was looking into the matter.

Other apps that Volvo owners will soon be able to download to their infotainment system include navigation apps Sygic and Flitsmeister; charging apps ChargePoint and Plugshare; and parking services SpotHero and ParkWhiz.

Earlier this week, Volvo announced it will use Qualcomm’s car chipsets to power the infotainment systems in Polestar 3 and its upcoming electric EV. The automaker claims Snapdragon Cockpit Platforms will make the systems more responsive and more than twice as fast.

Instagram starts testing the return of chronological feeds

Instagram has started to test the chronological feed it promised last month. The company has started to test the new versions of its feed, which will allow users to switch between chronological and algorithmically-sorted feeds, says Instagram chief Adam Mosseri.

Mosseri first shared plans to bring back a chronological feed in December during a Senate hearing on Instagram’s impact on teens and kids’ mental health. The company later confirmed that it was working on two new versions of its feed, one called “favorites,” and one called “following.”

In his latest comments, Mosseri said that Instagram will soon allow users to toggle between three different feeds: home, favorites and following. Home will be similar to Instagram’s current feed, which ranks posts based on what you’re likely to be interested in, while “favorites” will be a dedicated feed for the friends you care most about. “Following” will be a chronological feed just for accounts you follow, much like Instagram’s default feed prior to 2016.

“We think it’s important that you can get to a chronological feed, if you’re interested quickly and see the latest that has been posted by the accounts that you follow,” Mosseri said in a video.

Importantly, the “home” feed will also see significant changes. Mosseri said that the main feed would “have more and more recommendations over time.” The company has already been testing adding recommendations from non-followed accounts and Reels into its main feed, so it sounds like Instagram plans to double down on these efforts. Last week, Mosseri said the company was going to “rethink what Instagram is” in 2022, and would focus on Reels and building more tools for creators.

For now, the new feed changes won’t be rolling out widely. Mosseri said the new feed tests “are already out or going out over the next couple of weeks,” with the “full experience” expected to launch for everyone in the “first half of this year.”

TCL’s 98-inch QLED TV Will Cost Less Than $8,000

For the most part, we reckon that a TV around the 50-55 inch range is plenty big, especially if you don’t have a very big house or apartment. Also, TV prices around that size are also relatively affordable, so it does make it a nice blend of being good value for money while being big enough to watch your shows or play games on.

However, we imagine that some of you might want TVs that are even larger, maybe those above the 90-inch range. If you’ve ever browsed some TVs in those sizes, that mini heart attack you felt when you saw the prices, we’ve all been there, but there is some good news.

TCL has announced at CES 2022 a new XL series of televisions. One of which will be a massive 98-inch QLED TV that the company says will be priced at under $8,000! Now, we know that $8,000 is still pretty expensive and it is a lot of money, but like we said, if you look at TVs at those sizes from other brands, you’ll quickly realize that for $8,000, it’s almost like a bargain.

The TV itself will feature the use of QLED technology and will also sport a 4K resolution. It will also be leveraging the Google TV platform, so if you have shows or movies that you bought from the Play Store, you will be able to access it through the platform.

Instagram Starts Testing Out A Chronological Feed

When social media platforms like Instagram first launched, its feed was rather basic and just displayed posts from people you follow in a chronological order, meaning that the latest posts would be at the top, and the more you scroll, the older the posts you would see.

This later changed to become a more relevant feed where based on your interests and interactions, Instagram would now display a feed that’s more curated to your tastes. However, if you recall, back in 2021, Instagram said that they would be bringing the chronological feed back, and sure enough they have kept their promise.

In a post on Twitter by Instagram head Adam Mosseri, he has revealed that Instagram has started to test its promised chronological feed. However, this won’t apply to your entire feed. According to Mosseri, he revealed that there will be three feed options for users to choose from: Home, Favorites, and Following.

With Home, it will continue to use the same feed that you are already familiar with. Then there is Favorites and Following, both of which will be displayed in a chronological order. The main difference is that with Favorites, you get to curate your own feed so you can add creators, friends, or family members to it that you don’t want to miss anything from.

Mosseri notes that they have already started rolling out the feature as a test to some users, but if all goes well, it is expected to be available to all users in the first half of 2022.

Google Wants To Create A Tighter And More Integrated Ecosystem Like Apple

One of the advantages of buying into the Apple ecosystem is that everything just seems to work so well together. Want to share a document from your iPhone to your Mac and vice versa? AirDrop. Want to automatically sync photos across your devices? iCloud. Want to copy something from your Mac and paste it into your iPad? Done.

Google’s Android platform, however, doesn’t quite offer up a similar experience, but that’s something the company wants to change. In an announcement made at CES 2022, Google revealed their plans to create a tighter and more integrated ecosystem across its products and services.

For example, Google’s answer to AirDrop called Nearby Share will be coming to Windows PCs, allowing Android users to quickly and wirelessly share files with each other. Google also announced that they will be bringing its Fast Pair feature to Windows to make it easier to connect to devices, similar to how AirPods and Apple Watches can seamlessly pair with iPhones and iPads.

We’re sure that there are going to be many Android users who will probably be able to appreciate these features when it does launch. It will be interesting to see how all of this will work out in real life and if the experience can mimic, if not be better, than what Apple already offers its users.
