Japanese developers have created a device that leaves the label with special ink on the offender.

This way, you can fight against harassment and inappropriate behavior in public transport, the developers are confident. A limited first batch of appliance called Shachihata was bought out in half an hour. In total, they sold 500 gadgets, each costing $ 25.

The seal, visible only under ultraviolet light, will allow victims of harassment in crowded buses and subway cars to spot the assailants and deter potential offenders. This will make it easier for police officers to identify and catch the attackers.

LG is launching a “customer support” feature and plans to show it at the IFA in Berlin next week.

Do not block the airflow in the refrigerator or put too much powder in the washing machine, otherwise the LG application will yell at you. The new feature uses artificial intelligence to monitor LG devices for potential issues: temperature drops, poor airflow, too much powder, time to replace the filter, etc. If something goes wrong, the app notifies the device owner that there may be a problem.

The MP’s electronic assistant is designed to make it easier for MPs to search documents and other information.

A bot, for example, can: tell MPs how to arrange their assistants, show rooms available for meetings, explain how to work with the electronic committee meetings system. Some of the information provided by the chat bot will be in infographic and video format.

For example, instructional video tutorials on “The Electronic Document Management System of the VRU”, “Drafting a Bill”, and “Creating a Draft Document” have already been prepared.

According to Oleksiy Sidorenko, Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine’s Computerized Systems Directorate, launching a chat bot is one of the first steps to digital transformation of the Verkhovna Rada.

The fiery furniture was created by Italian architects and engineers, who were tasked with creating an effect that was as similar as possible to the flames.

The task was accomplished – in addition to the absolutely realistic effect of burning coal, there is also an acoustic background – crackling of coal, their squeak and a built-in ejection system of essences or oils, which also affects the sense of smell. That is, the full effect of true fire is created.

The effect of smoldering coal is achieved through the use of pink Himalayan salt (halite), which was formed more than 250 million years ago in the Himalayas and contains more than 80 natural minerals. Salt crystals refract light. The use of a heater under crystals of salt ionizes and purifies the air from bacteria, fungi, and odors, which has a good effect on human health.

Czech video blogger Felix Chelberg, known as PewDiePie, became the first blogger, who reach 100 million YouTube subscribers.

He managed to achieve this result almost nine years after the account was created. The blogger channel was created back in 2010. A year ago, 65 million users subscribed to the channel last August.

This number has grown rapidly due to competition with the channel of the Indian company T-Series. It managed to overtake PewDiePie and was the first to garner 100 million subscribers, but among personal accounts, the video blogger became the record holder.

French President Emmanuel Macron gifts watches of plastic caught in the oceans to leaders of the G7.

During the G7 summit session on climate change, the leaders of the summit’s participating countries, as well as invited states and international organizations, found gifts from the French leader at their places: plastic watches made from materials found in the oceans.

It sets out the general rules for combating plastic pollution for all and spells out the specific measures needed. The country will implement the agreement on a voluntary basis.

Researchers dived to a depth of almost 4 kilometers to find out in what state of Titanic, that crushed more than 100 years ago.

For the first time in history, the Titanic was shot as 4K. These footage will be used in a documentary shot by Atlantic Productions. In total, the team of researchers made five dives.

Photos and videos have shown that the wreck is in poor condition, even those parts that have been well preserved are destroyed. The most decayed steamer from the starboard side. Destruction of ship remnants is associated with ocean currents, salt corrosion and microbial exposure.

“The captain’s bathroom is a favorite image of Titanic enthusiasts, but it’s gone,” – said expert Parks Stevenson.

Apple has completed the development of AirPods 3, which is set to launch in 2020.

AirPods 3 will get a “sporty” design. They will have a special attachment that will allow users to jog or train – without fear that the headphones may fall out of their ears at the most inopportune time.

Apple will use the special coating currently used on the Apple Pencil. Also, the company will abandon the glossy coating and will use matt plastic in the case. Like the Powerbeats Pro, the third-generation AirPods will receive full IPX4 water protection and splash protection.

The Engineer.ai startup hired Indian programmers to write code instead of artificial intelligence.

Sachin Duggan, CEO, claimed that 82% of the app’s work had been done by artificial intelligence in less than an hour. At the same time, human engineers worked for five weeks to finish the rest.

A humorous robot began reading Buddhist scriptures to believers at the 400-year-old Kodai-ji Temple in Kyoto earlier this year.

The robot consists of a housing with moving metal parts, and the body, hands and shoulders of android are made of silicone. Android represents Kannon, an archetypal Buddhist deity who embodies mercy. Monks from the temple say that the bodhisattva robot will become increasingly “wise.”

“This robot will never die, it will just be updated and developed. This is the beauty of work. It can store knowledge forever and infinitely”, – said senior monk Tensho Goto.

Kannon’s development work has cost nearly one million dollars. This project is being implemented by Temple and Hiroshi Ishiguro, a professor of robotics at the University of Osaka.
