Do you listen to your bees? Beekeepers rely heavily on sight when inspecting a colony, along with touch and even smell. But in this installment of Bee Science with Dr. Dewey Caron, Dewey asks us to consider another source of information—the remarkable world of sound and vibration produced by honey bees. Honey bees live in an acoustic world that extends well beyond the familiar buzz we hear around a colony. Dewey explores how bees produce sound through their flight muscles and how they perceive airborne vibrations through their antennae and substrate-borne vibrations through their legs. He also explains why a queenless colony can sound noticeably different from a queenright colony and how experienced beekeepers can sometimes recognize changes within a colony simply by listening. Dewey then returns to the waggle dance, exploring research showing that sound and vibration are important components of honey bee communication. Recruits aren't simply following a dancer—they are receiving vibroacoustic information that helps communicate the distance to a food source. The science gets even more fascinating as Dewey examines stop signals, predator warnings, learning among young dancers, and acoustic communication in other honey bee species. Finally, Dewey traces the history of using colony sounds to understand bee behavior, from Eddie Woods' pioneering Apidictor in the 1950s to today's digital sensors, sophisticated microphones, and machine-learning systems designed to interpret what's happening inside a colony without unnecessarily opening the hive. The next time you're working your bees, don't just look. Listen. Your colony may be telling you more than you realize. This is Part One of Dewey's exploration of sound in honey bees. In Part Two, he'll return to some of the specialized sounds associated with swarming and communication.

Startup Project sits down with Sviat, CEO of Bright Machines, to unpack how the company is using software-first robotics to manufacture complex electronics closer to where they're deployed. The conversation focuses on why AI infrastructure is a strategic category, how Bright Machines differs from traditional contract manufacturing, and what onshoring really means for speed, quality, and security.Key Topics:In this episode, Sviat explains that Bright Machines is focused on AI infrastructure, specifically the electronics that go inside modern data centers, including compute nodes, storage, and racks.He traces the company's thesis back to a broader idea: use software and robotics to manufacture electronics anywhere, then narrow that focus to the data center market as demand became clearer.The discussion breaks down the market stack, from chip designers like NVIDIA and AMD, to ODMs, OEMs, hyperscalers, and contract manufacturers.Sviat shares why data center hardware became the right bet before ChatGPT accelerated the market: the products are expensive, strategically important, and driven by quality and throughput more than labor cost alone.The show compares traditional assembly lines with Bright Machines' approach, which uses more robotics, sensors, cameras, traceability, and humans in the loop where automation does not make sense.Sviat explains how Bright Machines starts with design, using Bright Designer to simulate and improve manufacturability before lines are built, which helps reduce bottlenecks and improve automation over time.He says the company's main differentiator is its software platform, which orchestrates the line, powers smart skills for navigation and inspection, collects data, and feeds insights back into design.The conversation covers line flexibility, including how much can be reused when switching between CPU, GPU, or different accelerator-based server designs, and when end-of-arm tooling must change.Sviat says Bright Machines is growing rapidly, expects more than 3x growth this year, and can produce high volumes from a small number of sites because of robotics efficiency.The episode closes on the broader case for onshoring AI infrastructure manufacturing in the US: security, time to market, quality, and a labor shortage that makes robotics necessary.Timestamps:06:39 - The market stack: chip designers, ODMs, OEMs, hyperscalers, and CMs09:07 - Why Foxconn, Jabil, and similar contract manufacturers matter10:04 - Why large factories still rely on massive manual labor12:20 - Why data centers are different from cheap consumer electronics13:49 - Security, strategic sectors, and why AI infrastructure belongs onshore16:26 - The first Bright Machines product: CPU compute servers for a hyperscaler17:58 - How the line works: modular stations, yields, and automation levels19:26 - Bright Designer and design-for-manufacturing feedback loops21:20 - Robots, sensors, traceability, and humans in the loop22:19 - Why time to market matters as much as cost23:31 - Yield and throughput: 98% line-level yields and up to 2x throughput25:25 - The Bright Robotic Cell and how the assembly line is structured27:35 - Reusability across products and when tooling changes are needed30:31 - Manufacturing as a service, not repair or field service31:24 - Growth, gigawatt-scale capacity, and output from a single site33:00 - Why current hyperscaler capex is not expected to slow near term34:45 - The bottlenecks before deployment: chips, components, power, permits36:54 - Bright Machines' three pillars: platform, data layer, and Bright Designer39:15 - Why humanoid robotics is exciting but not ready for industrial use41:16 - Where LLMs and newer AI tools can help the robotics workflow43:57 - The overlooked advantages of onshoring manufacturing in the US45:59 - What Bright Machines could build next: more complex electronics and future AI devices

Portland entrepreneur Mark Maher says it was around March 2025 when he and his family got to experience firsthand the thrill of smashing ceramic plates, glass vases, TVs and other electronic devices. That experience took place at a friend’s rage room in Boise, Idaho, where customers book sessions to don goggles, gloves and other safety equipment to obliterate objects in a controlled, safe environment.    Soon after, Maher opened Rage Room Portland, which celebrated its one-year anniversary this month by opening its second location inside Stickmen Brewing Company in Tualatin.      Business is also booming at OutRaged Rage Room, which opened in Vancouver in 2019. Owner Tera Gale says her three themed rage rooms are usually booked back to back on the weekends, with individuals or groups of up to 15 people paying to smash not only electronics and glassware but also personal objects they might find cathartic to destroy, such as a wedding dress from a failed marriage.    Gale and Maher join us to share what they think is behind the appeal of rage rooms, where the adage, “you break it, you buy it,” is taking on new meaning.

I was stuck in the lab.M: You missed a really good game.Our school team played very well. (Text 2)W: Did you hear the weather forecast for tomorrow? Is it going to be windy?M: No, there will be clouds in the morning, and heavy showers in the afternoon and the evening. (Text 3)M: Hey, let's go for a picnic somewhere this weekend.W: Good idea. Can Jack go with us? He's tired of taking exams these past two weeks.M: I don't think so. He's going on a trip this weekend with his school. (Text 4)M: Hello, is this Emma? This is Robert Gellen from Johnson's Electronics.W: Hello, Robert, what can I do for you?M: It's this visit by Mr.Johnson. I'm afraid he's had an emergency and won't be able to make it this time. (Text 5)M: Did you wait long?W: No, just two minutes. How was the flight?M: It was fine, thanks. I slept through the whole flight actually and I feel much better. (Text 6)M: I'm starving. What are we having for dinner tonight, Jane?W: I'm not sure. Something will come to mind once I start.M: I feel like eating French Fries or maybe a ham sandwich. How about you?W: Actually, I was thinking of making something healthy, say ... fish and vegetables.M: Well, in that case, I'll have whatever you make.(Text 7)W: Hello, George, I heard that you're going to Milan for a business trip next week.M: Yes, Susan, I'm also planning a trip to Rome for sightseeing after that.W: Oh, I'm just back from Rome.The city has made some new rules.M: Really? What rules?W: For example, people who dress up as Roman soldiers in charge of photos won't be allowed near tourist spots,and street performers can't sing or play their music on public transport.Another rule bans tourists from eating in public places.M: That's good. Eating in public is inappropriate and could lead to littering.W: Rome isn't the only city to do that. Last year, Florence made a rule saying that tourists would face fines of up to 500 euros if caught eating in the street.M: Wow, that's big money, but it's understandable. (Text 8)W: Hi, Frank. I heard you plan to withdraw from the speech class. Can you tell me why?M: Well, Ms. McDaniel, I don't think I can make it. Public speaking scares me. I just can't get in front of a group and talk. W: What is it that you fear about speaking in front of a group?M: I am afraid I would look silly if I forget a word or say something stupid or if I shake or turn red.W: What would happen if you did run into one of these things?M: People would laugh at me.W: Well, Frank, your fear is really not based on facts. I once asked my students what they would do if someone in class forgot a word or made a mistake. They said they would feel bad for the speaker for they knew they would be in the speaker's shoes some day.Does that make you feel better?M: Yeah, I guess.W: I hope you'll stay in the class, and try a bit more.M: Okay. Thanks, Ms. McDaniel.(Text 9)M: How many applications did we get, Mary?W: Well, overall we got over 200.M: Wow, that many!W: Yes, but most of which we can reject right away, people who don't have the right experience, qualifications,that kind of thing.M: Of course. W: And so, I drew up a short list of 12 candidates.M: Are we going to interview all of them?W: I think we should. But certainly, I'll let you have a look first.M: Great, so, who will we get then?W: Well, I think we have got some pretty strong candidates. Two in particular.M: They have the right kind of qualification? W: I certainly say so. A strong educational background, experience in sales, language skills ...M: Good. Look forward to meeting all of them.W: So, I'd say we do a set interview for that.M: Sure.W: A few general questions, then onto specifics. We could also ask them to give a short presentation.M: Great. I'm really looking forward to this.(Text 10)W: Welcome back, everyone. This is CB8 News Radio. Here comes something interesting. Yesterday, a teenage girl named Terra Gallo, Cumberland, got some unexpected news when she received a handwritten letter from a fisherman saying that her message in a bottle had been found in Spain. Gallo and her sister put messages into bottles and threw them into the ocean while visiting their aunt on Monhegan Island three years ago. The girls had forgotten about the bottles until they were surprised by the fisherman's letter. Gallo, now 14, studied the maps and discovered her message traveled about 3,000 miles. Gallo's message asked that whoever got her bottle should put their own message inside with hers and send it back out to sea. The fisherman said in his letter that he had carried out her wishes.

On this week's show we breakdown the Value Electronics 2026 TV Shootout and see who the new King TV is. We also read your emails and look at the week's news. News: LG is cracking down on smart TV apps that quietly turn your TV into a secret proxy Streaming Execs Say Roku Most Important CTV Platform for Home Screen Visibility Comcast has Lost Over 600,000 TV Customers So Far This Year & 232,000 Internet Customers Other: LG TVs are better than they've ever been — here's what they're doing right, what they're doing wrong, and what needs to change in 2026 2026 Value Electronics TV Shootout Summary Value Electronics (Scarsdale, NY) held its annual expert-judged TV Shootout on July 18, 2026. All sets were professionally calibrated and compared side-by-side against reference Sony BVM-HX3110 mastering monitors. Judges scored attributes (contrast/grayscale, color accuracy, processing, shadow detail, motion handling, bright-room performance, etc.) on a 1–5 scale for both SDR and HDR. Combined averages determine the rankings.  OLED Category (65-inch flagships) Samsung QN65S95H (QD-OLED)  — Combined (SDR + HDR) average 9.3 → King of OLED TV and overall King of TV for 2026. Highest scores in both SDR and HDR; won the majority of categories. Ended Sony's seven-year winning streak. $2500 at Amazon Sony K65XR80M2 (Bravia 8 II / QD-OLED) — Combined average 8.0 Close runner-up with strong, consistent performance in both SDR and HDR. $3000 at Amazon LG OLED65G6WUA (W-OLED / tandem) — Combined average 7.0 Solid but finished a clear third. $3300 direct from LG Micro RGB (True RGB Mini/Micro-LED LCD) Category (75-inch flagships)  This was the first year the shootout included a dedicated Micro RGB / true RGB-backlit LCD category. Sony K75XR90M2 (Bravia 9 II) — Combined average 7.9 → King of Mini/Micro RGB TV. Dominated most categories in both SDR and HDR. $3400 at Amazon Samsung MRN75R95H — Combined average 6.2 Clear second place. $4500 direct from Samsung LG 75MRGB95BUA — Combined average 5.2 Finished third. $4500 direct from LG Key Takeaways OLED still generally outperformed the new Mini/Micro RGB LCD technology overall. Samsung's S95H QD-OLED was the standout performer of the event by a healthy margin. Sony's new true RGB Bravia 9 II proved the Mini RGB approach is highly competitive (it even beat LG's G6 OLED and was competitive with Sony's own OLED in some HDR aspects). LG placed third in both categories. The event highlighted how close the top flagships have become, while still showing meaningful differences in accuracy, processing, and real-content performance under calibrated conditions.

Zoning changes in communities across the city of San Diego are leading to a growing trend: replacing old big-box retailers with mid- and high-rise apartments. A former Fry's Electronics in Sierra Mesa and parts of the Mission Valley mall are among the several projects.Developers say the sinking demand for commercial space, due in large part to online shopping, is one reason prompting the shift. But not everyone is happy about more housing. Some neighborhood leaders argue replacing commercial with housing isn't for every community.City Hall reporter David Garrick has been following this developing trend. He joined Midday Edition on Monday to share what he's learned.Guest: David Garrick, San Diego City Hall reporter, The San Diego Union-Tribune

The days of automatically upgrading your phone or computer every time it slows down are officially over. Clark breaks down why inflation and rising component costs mean tech prices are going "up, up, and away." Tech giants like Apple are raising device prices to protect their profit margins. While Clark has advised against sinking money into old electronics, the math has changed. Clark shares his rule of thumb for deciding when to repair versus replace, why TVs remain the one truly disposable tech item, and how to avoid the "free phone trap" being pushed by the big three wireless carriers. Also, Clark dives into the massive shakeup happening in the insurance industry. State Farm is facing major backlash from its own agents after dropping a hammer on their compensation models—a desperate move to compete in a market where they are losing ground. Hear which company has taken the lead by embracing a hybrid model, and what to expect buying online vs. with an agent.Plus, Christa shares your #AskClark questions and Clark gives his take.

Send us Fan MailWe use the term “ground” frequently in the studio, but what does “ground” actually mean?It can be confusing, because we use the same word to describe many different things. For example, we say that the shields of our audio cables are “grounded.” Or we may think that “grounding” our equipment will eliminate the electrical noise we hear in the audio.I attempt to clarify some of the misconceptions about “ground” in this short episode. The main point I try to stress that is that a connection to the Earth is not necessary for our equipment, or any electronic or electrical device, to work. The purpose of “grounding” electrical things is for one purpose only, and that is safety.Consider this an overview of a complex topic. I focus on things that matter in the studio. The true story would take much more explanation, and probably be of minimal interest to most recordists.One of the topics I mention is the “Pin 1 Problem” that is found in some otherwise excellent professional audio products. Here are links to an excellent explanation by Jim Brown, an electronics engineer who devoted his career to professional audio. He also co-wrote many of the AES standards that make our gear sound as good as it possible can.http://www.k9yc.com/Pin_1_Revisited.pdfhttp://www.k9yc.com/Pin_1_Revisited_Part_2.pdfhttp://www.k9yc.com/SurgeXPowerGround.pdfYou will find many more useful references on Jim's web site, if you want a deeper understanding of many noise and grounding topics.This is the last of the 6-part series on Basic Electronics for Recording Engineers. I may add additional episodes later, but I think this helps people understand some of the electronic principles as they relate to our job.email: dwfearn@dwfearn.comwww.youtube.com/c/DWFearnhttps://dwfearn.com/

In this episode, we discuss geomagnetic storms, extreme electromagnetic events known as coronal mass ejections that would destroy every satellite around the planet, wipe out power grids and most if not all of our electronics. The Carrington event that happened in 1859 destroyed the only electrical system at that point, the telegraph, across all of North America. An event such as that now would have catastrophic, even civilization-ending impacts. Scientists predict an event like the Carrington event happens every 100 to every 500 years. And the Carrington event is small compared to pre-history events. Yet despite the profound impact and the likelihood, public awareness remains low, there is little political action, little has been done to harden our power grid or plan for such an event. Since recording this episode in 2024, we have witnessed numerous X-class flares and geomagnetic storms triggering Northern Lights across the Northern Hemisphere. To talk about geomagnetic storms, their impact, the likelihood, the fragility of our global power grids and some solutions, is Distinguished. Professor of Electronics and Computer Engineering, Edl Schamiloglu. Edl is the Distinguished and specializes in extreme electromagnetic phenomena.   For related content and to find out more about HC Group, a search firm dedicated to the energy & commodities sector, visit https://www.hcgroup.global

A Nottingham student thought her severe night terrors were just a medical anomaly, until an entity in her basement started reaching back. From phantom hair-pulls against a solid brick wall to a towering shadow witnessed by her entire family, the malice in her suburban home escalated for years. But after a ghost haunting audio app captures muffled voices in the dark, the environment inside the house turns increasingly hostile. Electronics are violently ripped from the walls, and a terrifying, freshly charred etching discovered hidden inside the coat closet reveals it's sinister intentions... Follow Be.

Episode 2: What the Car Remembers They tried to return the car. The rental company wouldn't take it. Five business days. That's how long it would take to process a complaint before the vehicle could even be considered for removal from the fleet. Unfortunately... They only had three. As Cole and Maren dig deeper into the SUV's history, they uncover a disturbing pattern of complaints spanning months, all involving the very same vehicle. Strange GPS routes. Electronics behaving on their own. Devices reconnecting after being deleted. Then another name appears on the dashboard. Not Roy. Someone else. Someone who also disappeared. In Part Two of Ghost Profile, Carolyn explores the frightening intersection of modern technology, corporate oversight, and the possibility that some systems remember far more than they should. Because sometimes the scariest thing isn't the ghost. It's realizing you're not the first person it's been waiting for.
