Xiaomi 18 Pro has brought split-screen privacy protection ahead of the Galaxy S27 Ultra. In split-screen mode, you can enable privacy protection for just one app while keeping the other app normally visible. As you resize the split-screen windows, the protected area dynamically adjusts with it. This is where Xiaomi shows a clear software advantage. The Xiaomi 18 Pro still falls behind Samsung in terms of pure privacy-screen strength, but when it comes to flexibility and the variety of privacy features, Xiaomi is currently ahead. A similar split-screen privacy feature is expected to arrive on the Galaxy S27 Ultra.

This video takes you inside the Galaxy Z Fold8's inner display. The biggest change this year isn't just the crease. It's the overall feel of the display. It looks remarkably similar to a tablet, with the appearance of a rigid panel rather than a flexible one. On many foldables, even the areas away from the crease still show subtle ripples and unevenness, giving away the flexible nature of the screen under certain lighting. The Galaxy Z Fold8 is different. Its entire inner display is exceptionally flat. Once unfolded, it looks and feels much closer to a traditional rigid display than a flexible panel. This is likely thanks to Samsung doubling the thickness of the UTG (Ultra Thin Glass) and reinforcing the display with a titanium support plate. The thicker UTG improves overall rigidity, while the titanium layer provides stronger structural support, resulting in a noticeably flatter display with a more premium, tablet-like viewing experience.

Experienced the new Galaxy S26 Ultra at the #GalaxyUnpacked event in Delhi thanks to Samsung India Big highlight is that Privacy Screen, it's implemented very well, can switch it on/off, selective blocking etc. S26 Ultra feels a lot lighter to hold, has to be best weight balanced Ultra till now. Now supports 60W wired charging & 25W wireless. I'll try to post my quick first impressions video by tomorrow evening.

What If One Motor Could Move an Entire Robot Leg? Quaddle takes a very different approach to quadruped mechanics. Instead of using separate motors for the hip and knee, each leg uses a single servo with a mechanical linkage that drives both joints. That cuts the actuator count to just four servos for the whole robot. The interesting part is that the mechanical design does more of the work normally handled by extra actuators. With the right linkage and gait timing, Quaddle can walk, move sideways and spin in place. Less motors. Less wiring. Less weight. More mechanical engineering. Also, the hardware and motion system can be hacked and experimented with. Would you try designing your own leg mechanism around this idea?

Who says microcontrollers are only for sensors and IoT? One developer used an ESP32-S3 to create an entire collection of interactive generative art, proving that embedded systems can be a creative medium too. The projects use Adafruit Qualia ESP32-S3 with a 2.1" round TFT display and an IMU for motion-based interaction, while the artwork is first prototyped in JavaScript and then ported to C++ and deployed with the Arduino IDE. Along the way, you will learn about computer graphics, embedded displays, animation, IMU sensors, generative art, optimization, and real-time rendering on resource-constrained hardware.

Tesla's new wireless charging technology is made in Germany 🇩🇪 The inductive charging pad that Tesla recently unveiled is based on technology from a German startup called Wiferion (formerly Blue Inductive) 👏🏼 “With an overall efficiency of over 93%, the systems based on etaLink technology are leading” - according to a press release from Bonn-based seed investor HTGF, which invested in 2017. 💪🏼 Even Marques Brownlee couldn't believe that 😉 He commented under a Tesla post that contactless charging could achieve a maximum of 75% efficiency. I'm curious to see who will be right in the end. But I think it is save to say, that after Tesla Automation (formerly Großmann), Wiferion was yet another smart purchase of a German company from Tesla.

This Huawei ad I just walked by at Munich airport hit me like a ton of bricks. Huawei watch? HUAWEI HEALTH? Delivering your intimate, real-time location, behavioral & physiological data (heart rate??) directly to the CCP is absolutely insane. I hadn't even considered how many of these watches must be on people hands right now, and how powerful a tool of espionage (the next-level invasive data gathering!) the CCP has at its disposal. Grok, what countries have the biggest usage per capita of huawei watch? Also, considering what I wrote earlier in this post, and given that Huawei is bound by Chinese law to share all data it has access to with the the Chinese government (and not disclose it is doing so), what impact is there for personal privacy and security for users of Huawei watch?

TL;DR - Privacy on public blockchains has historically been fragmented and episodic. Umbra introduces persistent, expressive privacy by default. - Umbra is a private financial layer on Solana, enabling private transfers, swaps, balances, and yield within a continuous shielded environment. - Umbra combines client-side zero-knowledge proofs for anonymity with MPC for confidentiality - MPC enables confidential balances via Encrypted Token Accounts (ETAs), hiding balances and transfer amounts - Privacy strength depends not only on cryptography, but on anonymity set size and user behavior. - Umbra treats anonymity sets as a first-class metric and designs the product to minimize behavioral privacy failures. - A multi-purpose shielded pool allows funds to remain private across transfers, swaps, and yield, compounding privacy over time. - The Umbra SDK allows wallets and applications to integrate private transfers, swaps, and balances, feeding activity into a shared shielded pool. - Swaps execute via public liquidity venues while identity, balances, and intent remain unlinkable. - Users can earn yield on shielded assets, incentivizing longer time in the private environment. - Umbra mitigates exit-related privacy risks through product design, including anonymity indicators, configurable unshielding delays, and confidential balances. - UTXO-based shielded systems suffer from performance decay as balances fragment into many notes over time, increasing scan and aggregation costs. - Umbra eliminates this bottleneck by consolidating balances into Encrypted Token Accounts (ETAs), using UTXOs only at the anonymity boundary. The result is encrypted balances with stable, high-performance transfers even as activity scales. - Compliance is addressed through proactive screening against risk databases and opt-in selective disclosure via read-only viewing keys. - Umbra was launched via MetaDAO as an ownership coin, with governance and economic policy determined by token holders through futarchy. - Umbra is not a mixer or a single feature, but a sovereign privacy domain with its own private state and internal economy. - Umbra is Hopecore for Privacy. Thank you all for reading!

The first smartphone I plan to buy in 2026 is the Honor Magic 8 Pro Air. There’s only one reason: despite being absurdly thin and light, it delivers truly uncompromised flagship-level hardware. The Honor Magic 8 Pro Air measures just 6.1 mm in thickness and weighs only 155 g, yet it packs a 5,500 mAh battery. This combination alone is extremely rare. It doesn’t sacrifice experience for thinness. Instead, it force-fits everything a flagship should have into an Air-class body. The camera system is where this phone becomes genuinely outrageous. The main camera features a 50 MP sensor with a 1/1.3-inch large sensor, an f/1.6 aperture, and a 23 mm equivalent focal length, along with OIS optical image stabilization. Through pixel binning, it delivers a 2.4 μm effective pixel size, which is squarely in Pro-grade territory. The ultra-wide camera is also 50 MP, with an f/2.2 aperture, a 16 mm equivalent focal length, and a 112° field of view. It even supports 2.5 cm high-resolution macro photography, making it far from a throwaway lens. For telephoto, the Magic 8 Pro Air uses a 64 MP periscope camera with 3.2× optical zoom, an f/2.6 aperture, and a 74 mm equivalent focal length, once again with OIS. It supports up to 100× digital zoom. In addition, the camera system includes a color temperature sensor and a flicker sensor, completing a full flagship-level imaging setup. The front-facing camera is a 50 MP sensor with an f/2.0 aperture, clearly not an afterthought.

VITALIK BUTERIN TARGETS 500 BILLION PRIVACY RECORDS WITH NEW DESIGN Ethereum $ETH co-founder, Vitalik Buterin (vitalik.eth) has a new idea for scaling the network. He wants to use something called keyed nonces, which could help with both privacy and storage at the same time. Buterin says a dedicated space for storing nullifiers could hold up to 500 billion entries over eight years without hurting decentralization. The problem with regular state is that it gets too large to manage, sometimes growing to hundreds of terabytes. Nullifiers are different. They follow a fixed, predictable structure, which makes them easier to handle using techniques like sharding and bloom filters. Buterin sees this as an early step toward building specialized storage on Ethereum, designed for specific jobs rather than trying to do everything at once.

MERRY MAN // DAY 2 Yesterday we gave you the first glimpse. Today, let’s clear up what we mean by privacy focused AI. A good reference point is what Venice AI has been building around VVV. Venice showed that using powerful AI doesn’t have to mean handing over a permanent record of everything you ask it. Their architecture includes local conversation history, zero retention inference, anonymized access to third party models and stronger privacy options through TEE and end to end encryption. Merry Man is our own take on where that idea can go inside Cerebro. Not just private chat, but a privacy focused agent that can actually work with the things you normally hesitate to give an AI. Your codebase. Private documents. Internal research. Personal data. Work that shouldn’t automatically become somebody else’s dataset. And there’s another part of the Venice/VVV model that caught our attention. VVV connects its token economy to access to private inference. Cerebro has been approaching the same broader problem from a different direction: holders are already earning inference credits, and Merry Man gives us somewhere native to start putting that inference to work. Private intelligence with an actual compute economy underneath it. That’s your Day 2 spoiler. Previews are coming soon.🧠

He's 26. Apple offered him $8.4 million for the tongue-controlled retainer he 3D-prints in a San Diego apartment on a $180 Prusa. He said no The retainer sits inside your mouth like an Invisalign tray. Inside it: a miniature accelerometer array wired to a Bluetooth LE chip, all encapsulated in medical-grade epoxy he sources from a Kearny Mesa dental supply company for $28 a bottle. It reads tongue and bite pressure patterns at 240 samples per second, translates them into cursor movements and click gestures, and streams the output to any device paired over Bluetooth. Total hardware cost per unit: $47. He wears his own retainer eleven hours a day and hasn't touched a mouse in six months He posted a demo video to Reddit r/AssistiveTech in October showing a full 47-minute Cursor coding session controlled entirely with his tongue and bite gestures. The post hit the front page in nine hours. An Apple Accessibility engineer found it through a Hacker News crosspost three days later. Tim Cook quote-tweeted the demo the following Wednesday - called it "the accessibility hardware Vision Pro should have shipped with." Apple's business development team wired an $8.4 million acquisition offer to his lawyer in November for the retainer design, the embedded firmware, and a three-year exclusivity contract that would make Apple the only distributor globally. He declined the offer in December. His public statement was seven words: "This should be open. Everyone needs it." He open-sourced the firmware and STL files on GitHub the same day Apple Vision Pro burned $3.5 billion in R&D on the premise that spatial computing input requires their proprietary hand-tracking silicon and their multi-year hardware roadmap. Neuralink raised at $2 billion on the same premise for neural implants. Tobii runs at $340 million selling eye-tracking hardware to accessibility clinics at $12,000 per unit. He runs a Prusa in a San Diego apartment printing a $47 retainer that a nine-year-old with cerebral palsy in Argentina downloaded and printed at her local library last week

two weeks in Shenzhen and it’s an been eye-opening experience im here for a month with MIT SCALE and the speed of hardware production is easily 10× faster than sf. from product concept to production, everything is streamlined within a single building. Nearly every component you could need is available immediately thru Taobao(e bay of China) or HQB and there are 24/7 makerspaces equipped to build anything from micrometer-scale PCBs to full assembly-line robots. What’s striking is that Shenzhen already has much of the hardware and robotics that startups in sf are still trying to build except these systems have been deployed and operating for years. The manufacturing capability, supply chain depth, and technical execution here are world-class. That said, one gap keeps surfacing: brand design, storytelling, and cohesive user experience. Software polish, UX consistency, and attention to detail often feel secondary. Take this with a grain of salt, but it increasingly feels like the company that pairs Shenzhen-level hardware velocity with strong design sensibility and UX-first thinking will dominate the market.

Interestingly, Xynova’s technological approach shares the same origins as the dexterous hand technology used in Optimus v3 (though Elon has noted that this design still needs further refinement). The Flex2 is an upgraded version built on the Flex1: v1 featured 25 DOF and used a cable-driven system; the v2 introduces direct drive, which reduces the DOF to 23 but also sheds 400g in weight. It seems a hybrid drive mechanism may be the more practical solution. In March this year, following the successful completion of its Series A funding round (with investors including Xiaomi and others), this robotics company--founded in 2024--began construction of a large-scale production facility. Spanning over 5,000 square meters, the base is designed to achieve an annual output of 200,000 miniature electric cylinders and 10,000 dexterous hands. However, hardware alone is far from enough. A truly capable dexterous hand must be the result of the co-evolution of data, models, and the physical hardware. In other words, in addition to mass production, Xynova is simultaneously developing a complete integrated system that combines perception capabilities, robotic manipulation intelligence, and hand-specific coordination. This is essentially a foundational robotic module. Yet its applications go far beyond that. It can be directly adapted to industrial robotic arms on production lines, as well as integrated into the bodies of humanoid robots. That said, what I’m most eager to see is its use in advanced bionic prosthetics for humans. If it can successfully demonstrate this expanded capability, its impact will reach well beyond the realm of humanoid robots. (Cyborg)

This is essentially a foundational robotic module. Yet its applications go far beyond that. It can be directly adapted to industrial robotic arms on production lines, as well as integrated into the bodies of humanoid robots. That said, what I’m most eager to see is its use in advanced bionic prosthetics for humans. If it can successfully demonstrate this expanded capability, its impact will reach well beyond the realm of humanoid robots. (Cyborg)

Naval is right. That’s why we’ve avoided investing in consumer hardware. But recently I’ve met too many smart, young founders building it anyway that it’s too compelling to ignore. We’ve built an AI god and shoved it in a text box. Like now what? That can’t be the end of the story. Like mobile before Uber, AI needs a new form factor to unlock entirely new behaviors. AI is infinitely better with more context and context means it has to live with us. Apple won’t do it. They’ve been asleep on AI and are handcuffed by privacy constraints. The winners will be the new generation of founders: unencumbered, fearless, fluent in consumer behavior. They’ll try bold, weird, delightful things to bring AI into our lives and make it feel inevitable. We just have to figure out the form factor. My full take on this dropping tomorrow. Enjoy my sick trailer in the meantime.
