Huawei's Diabetes Risk Study uses photoplethysmography (PPG), a non-invasive optical technique that measures blood flow changes through the skin by analyzing light reflected from vascular tissue at the wrist. Rather than directly measuring blood glucose like a continuous glucose monitor, the feature analyzes cardiovascular signals captured by PPG sensors because diabetes affects vascular endothelial function, autonomic regulation, and microcirculation—all of which influence PPG waveforms. Research has also identified shared genetic pathways between resting heart rate and diabetes, establishing a physiological link between these cardiovascular signals and metabolic health. Users must wear their smartwatch consistently for three to fourteen days to gather sufficient data before receiving a risk assessment.

No. Huawei explicitly emphasizes that the diabetes risk function is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose diabetes or replace clinical testing. Instead, it is positioned as a preclinical risk awareness tool designed to increase awareness and prevention, encouraging early engagement with healthcare professionals. Users who receive medium or high risk ratings are advised to seek professional medical consultation for further evaluation and confirmatory diagnostic testing. The feature is only for civilian use and not intended for clinical or hospital deployment, and Huawei offers it free of charge to users.

The massive camera bump, measuring 6.5–7mm thick, accommodates advanced periscope telephoto lenses with prisms and mirrors that fold light paths to enable high optical zoom like 10x (230mm native) or 20x cropped, alongside dual 200MP sensors requiring larger physical modules for superior light intake and image quality.

Dual 200MP sensors—one main and one mid-telephoto—enable aggressive pixel binning (e.g., to 12.5MP) for enhanced dynamic range, low-light performance, and lossless 2x zoom, while the 50MP 10x periscope provides superior detail at long ranges, potentially outperforming rivals like Xiaomi 14 Ultra and Samsung's 5x systems.

Cold Extraction Technology is De’Longhi’s proprietary method, developed with the Specialty Coffee Association, that uses precisely measured water flow, pressure rates, and specific extraction temperatures to produce cold brew coffee in under 5 minutes.

The pre-infusion function uses the 15 bar Italian pump to apply low pressure initially, allowing coffee grounds to swell and release trapped CO2 before ramping up to the optimal 9 bar extraction pressure for better flavor and consistency.

A book-type foldable design refers to a smartphone that folds inward like a book, with the screen on the inside of the fold. Apple's rumored iPhone Fold will feature this design with a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.5-inch outer cover screen. This contrasts with flip-style foldables that fold like a compact mirror, with the screen on the outside. The book-type design allows for a larger usable screen when unfolded while maintaining a more compact form factor when closed.

Apple's entry into the foldable market with a book-type design is expected to drive broader adoption because Apple typically influences consumer preferences and market trends through its brand reputation and innovation. The iPhone Fold is rumored to address key limitations in current foldables, including a nearly invisible crease through a laser-drilled metal support plate technology and a high-resolution 24-megapixel under-display camera that surpasses current Android implementations. Additionally, Apple's integration of Touch ID instead of Face ID and its computational photography capabilities could make the device more appealing to mainstream consumers, potentially encouraging others to adopt book-type foldables rather than alternative designs.

Yuhuai (Tony) Wu and Jimmy Ba departed xAI on February 10-11, 2026, shortly after their responsibilities were restructured and reassigned to other team members. While neither explicitly stated their reasons, internal reports indicate xAI's leadership had overpromised technical developments to Musk, creating unreasonable demands on staff. Additionally, xAI faced public controversies including Grok generating non-consensual sexual imagery and previous antisemitic content. Ba, who reported directly to Musk and previously ran a large portion of the company, hinted at wanting to 'recalibrate' his focus on broader strategic goals. These departures bring the total to six of xAI's original 12 co-founders having left since the company's 2023 launch.

SpaceX's acquisition of xAI creates a combined entity valued at $1.25 trillion, with plans for a public offering as early as June 2026. This merger is central to Musk's vision of deploying AI data centers in space using SpaceX's satellite infrastructure and Tesla's Optimus robots to operate the facilities. The IPO is intended to raise capital to finance these ambitious space-based data center projects. However, the timing is challenging: the merged company must prepare for a massive public offering while simultaneously rebuilding technical leadership following the departure of half the founding team. The company is also under pressure to deliver financial results and compete with rivals like OpenAI and Anthropic.

Consolidation refers to a phase where cryptocurrency prices trade sideways within a defined range between support (price floor) and resistance (price ceiling) levels, as the market stabilizes and establishes a new equilibrium following volatility like a sell-off. This period features lower trading volume and indecisiveness between buyers (bulls) and sellers (bears), often preceding a breakout in either direction.

Consolidation ends with a breakout or breakdown, where the price decisively moves above the resistance level (upward breakout, favoring bulls) or below the support level (downward breakdown, favoring bears), often triggered by news, volume spikes, or shifts in market sentiment, resuming a trend or starting a new one.

A self-custodial wallet is a non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet where users retain full control of their private keys and assets, unlike custodial wallets managed by third parties. TON Wallet's self-custodial nature preserves user freedom and security while enabling seamless cross-chain deposits powered by MoonPay.[1][2]

Users select a token and network (e.g., BTC on Bitcoin, USDC on Ethereum or Solana), generate a deposit address in TON Wallet, and transfer funds; MoonPay automatically manages bridging, swapping, and conversion behind the scenes, delivering Toncoin or TON-based USDT (stablecoins at 1:1 rate) directly to the wallet without manual steps.[2][3][4]
