Ep 290 macOS Tahoe 26.7 is Full of References to Unreleased Apple Products Steve Troughton-Smith: It seems pretty clear to me, being able to test iPadOS beside macOS, that even with macOS 27 the Liquid Glass UI is never going to look as good as it does on a HDR OLED display. It looks several times glossier and more crisp when I switch my desktop monitor over to HDR (which I never use), and even better still on the iPad's OLED. This feels like a generational shift as big as the Retina Display, and I think most people are oblivious to it — since no Mac currently comes with a HDR OLED screen.

On today's show we discuss Ara's new family room TV and Audio setup and what his plans are for the future. We also read your emails and look at the week's news. News: Marantz Introduces The CINEMA Series 2 Receivers Dolby Vision 2 HDR Is Officially Arriving On Certain Hisense TVs Nearly A Third Of U.S. Homes Get TV Only Via Streaming Peacock hikes prices for fourth straight year, this time by $3 Other: Theatrium - A home Assistant or HomeKit Dashboard for your AppleTV Parts List for Ara's New Home Family Room: Mantel Mount MM815 Motorized Drop Down & Swivel TV Mount - $700 The MM815 is a remote-controlled drop-and-swivel TV mount. Press one button to lower the TV to eye level and rotate it as needed. It comes with an RF remote, is silent, and has two memory presets. Sony BRAVIA 7 II PRO True RGB 4K HDR Google TV with Gemini (Model Number K75XR70PRO)-  $2300 The Sony BRAVIA 7 II PRO is Sony's 2026 mid-range True RGB Mini-LED TV (65 inches and up) with independently driven red, green, and blue backlight LEDs, XR processing, and about 2,000 nits of peak brightness for stronger color volume and contrast than a typical white Mini-LED. It is 4K at 120 Hz, supports Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, and has HDMI 2.1 gaming features (VRR, ALLM, 4K/120). Google TV includes Gemini for voice search and recommendations, plus AirPlay 2. The Pro bundle adds a three-year replacement warranty, a backlit rechargeable remote, extra Sony Pictures Core credits, and an enhanced Voice Zoom 3 dialogue mode; picture hardware is the same as the standard 7 II. From RTINGS: Pros: Great black levels with minimal haloing. Bright details in HDR stand out incredibly well. Fantastic SDR brightness helps it overcome glare during the day. Fantastic upscaling and great low-quality content smoothing. Colors are incredibly bright and vivid. Cons: Dark scenes are hard to see during the day. Sonos Arc Ultra - $1099 The Sonos Arc Ultra supports Dolby Atmos that has a 9.1.4 driver layout and Sound Motion woofer to produce wide, height-enhanced surround and stronger bass from a single bar. It connects to a TV with one HDMI eARC cable, supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay 2, and the rest of the Sonos ecosystem (including optional Sub and rear speakers), and can be controlled with the TV remote, Sonos app, touch controls, Sonos Voice Control, or Alexa. Trueplay tunes the sound to the room, and AI speech enhancement is meant to keep dialogue clear. It is a long, low-profile bar (about 46 inches wide) sold in black or white. Sonos Sub 4 - $899 The Sonos Sub 4 is a wireless subwoofer for Sonos S2 systems, pairing with current soundbars and speakers to add bass down to about 25 Hz. Two inward-facing 5-by-8-inch woofers and dual Class-D amps use a force-canceling layout so the cabinet stays relatively still and the bass stays clean. It has the same slot-style shape as earlier Subs, in black or white matte, and can stand upright or lie on its side. Updates over the Sub 3 include Wi-Fi 6, a faster processor, more memory, lower idle power, and a slightly lighter cabinet; setup is through the Sonos app, with optional Ethernet. Two Sub 4s can be used with the Arc Ultra. Master Bedroom: Sony BRAVIA 3 II 4K HDR LED Google TV (Model Number K55XR30M2) - $798 - The Sony BRAVIA 3 II is Sony's 2026 entry-level 4K LED set, sold from 43 to 100 inches. It uses a direct-lit LED panel, a 120 Hz refresh rate, and the XR processor for color, motion, and upscaling. HDR covers Dolby Vision, HDR10, and HLG. All four HDMI ports are 2.1, with 4K/120, VRR, and ALLM. It runs Google TV with Gemini, AirPlay 2, and Chromecast, plus built-in speakers that pass Dolby Atmos and DTS:X to a soundbar. The picture is good in bright rooms; but as you would expect, the contrast and HDR are limited compared with higher BRAVIA models. If you are going to use this for anything more than casual viewing or you are really critical of picture quality you may want to look elsewhere. But for those on a budget or used in a secondary room, it's a solid TV.

When Dolby Vision 2 - the latest version of the company's dynamic HDR solution - was first announced in late 2025, there was a lot of uncertainty about how, when and why it was coming. Over the past 10 months, things have become clearer, including its imminent availability on select Hisense TVs.Tune in with eCoustics founder Brian Mitchell, Senior Reviewer Al Griffin and Editor at Large Chris Boylan as we discuss the latest developments with Dolby Vision 2 and Dolby Vision 2 Max and what's coming over the next few weeks and months.Additional details about Dolby Vision 2 and Dolby Vision 2 Max:https://www.ecoustics.com/news/dolby-vision-2/Thank you to our sponsor of this episode, Shure! www.shure.com• Original intro music by The Arc of All. https://sourceoflightandpower.bandcamp.com• Voice Over Provided by Todd Harrell of SSP Unlimited. https://sspunlimited.com• Production by Mitch Anderson, Black Circle Studios. https://mixcloud.com/blackcircleradioKeep up-to-date with all the latest news and product reviews on hi-fi, headphones, home theater, music and more. https://www.ecoustics.com#dolbyvision2 #dolbyvision2max #dolbyvision #ecoustics #hometheater #hisense

HDR10+ Advanced llega a Prime Video con más brillo, mejor movimiento y una nueva generación de imagen para televisores compatiblesPor Félix Riaño @LocutorCoSamsung y Prime Video presentaron HDR10+ Advanced, una nueva versión del estándar HDR10+ que promete imágenes más brillantes, un movimiento más natural y un mejor aprovechamiento de los televisores más recientes. La tecnología llegará primero a algunos contenidos de Prime Video y funcionará inicialmente en los televisores Samsung compatibles de la línea 2026.La noticia parece anunciar una mejora de calidad de imagen. La historia de fondo habla de otra cosa: una nueva competencia entre formatos para convertirse en el estándar de las próximas generaciones de televisión. Muchas personas ya tienen televisores con HDR. Entonces surge una pregunta: ¿qué cambia realmente con esta nueva versión?La calidad mejora, pero la compatibilidad sigue siendo el desafío.HDR significa High Dynamic Range, o alto rango dinámico. Esta tecnología permite mostrar zonas muy brillantes y muy oscuras al mismo tiempo sin perder tantos detalles.HDR10+ ya utilizaba metadatos dinámicos para ajustar la imagen escena por escena. HDR10+ Advanced añade más información para que el televisor aproveche mejor su brillo y su capacidad de procesamiento.La primera mejora se llama Enhanced Overall Brightness. Esta función utiliza nuevos metadatos y procesamiento con inteligencia artificial para aumentar el brillo sin perder detalle en las sombras.La segunda mejora se llama Intelligent Motion Smoothing. Esta función adapta el tratamiento del movimiento en cada escena. Las películas conservan su apariencia cinematográfica y los deportes o las escenas de acción pueden verse con mayor fluidez.La tecnología ya existe, pero muy pocas personas podrán usarla desde el comienzo.Prime Video será el primer servicio compatible y Samsung será el primer fabricante con televisores preparados para HDR10+ Advanced. El resto del mercado todavía no ha anunciado soporte.La industria mantiene además una competencia entre estándares. Samsung impulsa HDR10+, mientras Dolby desarrolla Dolby Vision. Algunas marcas adoptan uno, otras incorporan ambos y algunas prefieren soluciones propias. Esa diversidad obliga a que fabricantes, plataformas y estudios acuerden qué formatos van a utilizar antes de que una nueva tecnología pueda extenderse.Samsung desarrolló HDR10+ Advanced para aprovechar el brillo y la capacidad de procesamiento de los televisores más recientes. Prime Video comenzará a ofrecer contenidos compatibles durante este mes y Samsung incorporará el formato en sus próximos televisores.La evolución recuerda el lanzamiento original de HDR10+ en 2017. Aquella versión también comenzó en Prime Video y después fue sumando fabricantes y dispositivos. Actualmente el ecosistema HDR10+ reúne 183 empresas y más de 22.000 productos certificados.Ahora queda por ver si otras plataformas y fabricantes se unen a esta nueva versión o mantienen la competencia entre distintos formatos de imagen.BibliografíaBroadband TV NewsSamsung NewsroomEngadgetTechRadarPocket-lintEl Siglo 21 es HoyConviértete en un supporter de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/flash-diario-de-el-siglo-21-es-hoy--5835407/support.⚡️

Hanna und Adam sind zurück für eine neue News-Packung im SJ Weekly. Diesmal geht es um teure neue Netflix-Deals, die aber in Deutschland vielleicht gar nichts ändern. Aber auch Disney streicht eine beliebt Funktion beim Streamingdienst, ohne vorher zu informieren. Dafür ist Spidey super erfolgreich und beliebt. Und es gibt ein Sequel zu einem 90er-Phänomen und eventuell einen neuen God of War.Im Review-Teil berichten wir von unseren Eindrücken zu „The Shards“ von Ryan Murphy inklusive Deutschlandpremieren-Partybericht. Aber auch „Ride or Die“, dem Summerslam und WWE Unreal. Der aktuellen Nummer eins bei Netflix namens The Idaho Murders. Außerdem gibts Meinungen zu GIGN, „Murder in a Small Town“ und The Hawk und als Retro-Tipp zur Trauerbewältigung rund um den Tod von Glen Hansard einen Streamingtipp zum Musik-Drama The Commitments.Timestamps 0:00:00 TWD-Netflix-500-Mio.

Deze week in de podcast: Ziggo wordt een overkoepelende kabelaanbieder voor heel de Benelux. We testen de CLIP die iedere fiets elektrisch moet maken, maar die heeft toch veel haken en ogen. En de Fitbit Air van Google lijkt nu echt de beste smart band voor iPhones. Daarnaast was je niet de enige waarvan WhatsApp ineens het account blokkeerde.Disney+ streamt weer 4K, maar HDR laat op zich wachten. En Google annuleert een app waar bijna een miljoen mensen op zitten te wachten. Sponsor: Misschien niet de eerste plek waar je kijkt als IT’er, maar wel één waar je je sneller thuis voelt dan je denkt. Ontdek waarom op rabobank.jobs/IT Tips uit deze aflevering: Serie: Ted Lasso is terug. Moet gezegd worden, want Floris en Erwin zijn fan. De serie leek al afgesloten, maar heeft toch weer een nieuw seizoen gekregen. Dit keer moet de Ted Lasso een vrouwenelftal vol karikaturen begeleiden, samen met een norse hulp-coach. We hebben de review live staan op Bright en elke week verschijnt er een nieuwe aflevering op Apple TV. App: Polycam is een app waarmee je 3D-scans maakt door fotogrammetrie en/of LiDAR. Het wordt veel gebruikt door 3D-kunstenaars, maar ik gebruik het om mijn huis vast te leggen zoals het nu is. Dat verandert over de jaren heen en in plaats van stilstaande foto's, kun je dan later door je huis heen bewegen. Resultaten zijn niet altijd even scherp, dus heb vooral heel veel geduld. Wearable: vorige keer in de podcast had Wolter het over de Oura Ring 4 die in de korting was, maar nu heeft hij de Oura Ring 5. Hij is echt blij verrast met de grootte van de Ring. Hij is veel minder aanwezig dan Ring 4 en hij kan hem van harte aanbevelen. Hij heeft ongeveer een week batterij. Hij is wel wat duurder, 429 euro betaal je ervoor, dus dan de tip om voor de Oura Ring 4 te gaan. Qua design is de Ring 5 veel discreter. Wolters volledige review volgt snel!

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.

On this week's show we look into our crystal ball to see what is on the Home Theater Horizon. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: 2026 Value Electronics TV Shootout: Samsung Snaps Sony TV Streak CarPlay video coming with iOS 27 WGA Seeks Injunction to Block Deal's Closing What is on the Home Theater Horizon Home theater technology is advancing quickly and the trend is moving toward wireless setups, brighter and more flexible displays, AI-powered calibration, immersive spatial audio, and simpler high-end installations. Today we take a look at what we can expect over the next couple of years. Displays: Brighter, Wireless, and Modular Ultra-thin wireless OLEDs: LG's OLED evo W6, also called the Wallpaper TV, is part of their 2026 evo lineup. It's incredibly thin — just 9 millimeters thick — and features a true wireless design. All your devices plug into a separate Zero Connect Box that can sit up to 10 meters away. The box then sends 4K video and audio wirelessly to the TV with almost no quality loss. The TV also includes Hyper Radiant Color Technology. This delivers much higher brightness — up to 3.9 times brighter than standard OLEDs — along with deeper black levels and fewer reflections. For gamers, it supports 4K at 165 Hertz, G-SYNC, and very fast response times. MicroLED and RGB advancements: MicroLED displays — including variants like Micro RGB or TriChroma — are becoming popular for luxury home theater setups. They deliver perfect blacks like OLED screens, but with much higher brightness, no burn-in risk, and modular designs that let you create custom sizes, such as 136-inch or even larger cinema walls. Brands like LG with their MAGNIT Active Micro LED, Samsung, and Sony are leading the way, offering seamless, cinema-certified picture quality. Consumer versions are still quite expensive — often six figures for a full wall — but they're becoming more realistic and affordable over time. Mini RGB: These TVs are poised to be a big hit because they combine the best of both worlds: the perfect blacks and contrast of OLED with the extreme brightness, longevity, and modular flexibility of MicroLED-style RGB technology. By using advanced Mini RGB LED backlighting, Mini RGB delivers stunning HDR performance, vibrant colors, and seamless large-screen designs ideal for luxury home theaters — all without burn-in worries. Sony's reputation for premium picture processing, cinema-grade calibration, and build quality gives their Mini RGB  a clear edge over competitors, making these TVs the top choice for serious enthusiasts who want theater-like visuals that will stay impressive for years to come. Projectors: Triple-laser UST (ultra-short-throw) and standard models dominate, with brighter outputs (thousands of ISO lumens), wider color gamuts (e.g., 110% BT.2026), Dolby Vision support, and 4K/8K capabilities. Examples include XGIMI Horizon 20 Max, AWOL Vision LTV-3000 Pro, and Hisense models. Laser is now the baseline for premium performance. Audio: Wireless Immersion and Modular Systems Wireless multi-speaker ecosystems: Dolby Atmos FlexConnect is rolling out more widely including the LG Sound Suite. This enables cable-free speaker placement with accurate panning. Sony's BRAVIA Theatre lineup (Trio, Bar 7/9, etc.) emphasizes modular wireless components with 360 Spatial Sound Mapping, phantom speakers (up to 24 channels), and room calibration. Advanced AVRs and processors: Denon, Onkyo, and others offer higher-channel support (9.4+), Dirac Live/Audyssey calibration, and AI room tuning. Multi-channel processors use Audio over IP for fewer wires in custom installs. Immersive extras: Haptic furniture, synchronized smart lighting using the  Philips HDMI Sync Box 2.1, and AI acoustic optimization for real-time adjustments. Other Notable Trends AI integration: Automatic calibration, content optimization, and adaptive environments including  room mapping for sound and light.. Hybrid/immersive rooms: 360-degree or wraparound video with spatial audio, plus premium formats inspired by commercial cinema (laser projection, higher baselines like 7.1+ with height channels). Lifestyle focus: Movable displays, aesthetically integrated speakers, mainly acoustically transparent designs, and easier setups for non-dedicated rooms. There are some exciting technologies shaping the next couple of years in home theater. Displays are getting brighter, thinner, and more flexible with ultra-thin wireless designs. High-performance UST laser projectors will bring huge screens to rooms where it was never possible before. And the shift toward truly wireless, immersive audio will fill any room with rich, room-filling sound. Best of all, your entire system will adapt to your room with the touch of a button!

Modern radiation therapy is becoming more precise, helping doctors target tumours while reducing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue and protecting quality of life.In this episode of The Wellness Algorithm, Anshu Bahanda speaks with radiation oncologist Dr Madhur Garg about how radiation treatment is planned and how newer approaches are changing cancer care. They explore stereotactic radiation therapy, hypofractionation, short-course radiation and brachytherapy, including the difference between HDR and LDR brachytherapy.Dr Garg also explains how CT, MRI and PET imaging are used to define the treatment area, how radiation doses are shaped around a tumour and why some patients can complete treatment in fewer hospital visits.The conversation offers a clear introduction to modern radiation oncology, side-effect reduction and personalised cancer treatment, while examining what these advances may mean for daily life during and after treatment.Leave a review

If any modern colourist has seen it all, it's Dirk Meier. From the long-take trenches of the early digital masterpiece Russian Ark and the boundary-pushing slow-motion of Antichrist, to emulating distinct formats in Happy as Lazzaro and Romeria, Meier has witnessed many of the key inflection points in digital cinema. Now, he joins Film Formally to share his war stories, the lessons he's learned along the way, and his philosophy for look-development and aesthetic frameworks in the digital era. We discuss how to conceive and define visual language through an analytical lens, breaking down images into variables of color, texture, and motion. We also dive into insights from Meier's collaborations with directors like Roy Andersson and Lars von Trier and cinematographers like Hélène Louvart, explore the nuances of celluloid and MiniDV emulation, and the ways in which digital workflows allow for nonlinear image design. 00:00 - Introduction 03:14 - Russian Ark and Dirk's Early Projects 12:45 - The Evolution from Film to Digital Workflows 21:03 - Antichrist and late-'00s digital workflows. 36:26 - Defining "Look Development", and working with Roy Andersson 49:13 - Working with Hélène Louvart on Happy as Lazarro and Romeria and emulating MiniDV 01:01:43 - Working on THE PIMP, HDR grading, and using color references. 01:05:44 - Image Attributes, Steve Yedlin's Display Prep Demo, and Demystifying Digital Imagery 01:21:12 - Colour Grading Secret Agent Devan's LetterBoxd list on Digital Cinema: https://letterboxd.com/devanagscott/list/digital-cinema/ Steve Yedlin's Display Prep Demo: https://www.yedlin.net/DisplayPrepDemo/ 'The Fog of Log': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IugTH2VwDk The Hitchhiker's Guide to Digital Colour: https://hg2dc.com/ Edited by Griffin Sheel Shownotes and Resources:  https://www.filmformally.com

"Think about what organs lie in the radiation field, and anything that lies in that radiation field is likely going to have some potential temporary—hopefully temporary—side effects. If you think about the pelvis, the things that live in there are the bladder, urethra, some bowel, rectum, reproductive organs, skin, some lymph nodes. And so, all of those things could potentially have associated side effects," ONS member Kayla Kafka-Peterson, BSN, RN, ROCN™, nurse navigator and leader in the brachytherapy and peri-anesthesia programs at UCLA Health, in Los Angeles, CA, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, TCTCN™, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about radiation side effects in cancers of the pelvis.

LDR stands for low-dose-rate radiation, which is the older type of brachytherapy, but it is still very much practiced today. And it is where we put radioactive seeds directly into the tumor or tumor resection bed, depending on what you're treating. And those pieces of radioactive material, such as iodine-125 or palladium-103, those will give off radiation over time and treat the area that they are in, and they will place more or less seeds into the tumor, depending on that patient's needs and their anatomy." TS 3:26 "The most common [side effect] for external beam is bladder irritation—cystitis. It can be some burning, some frequency, some urgency, and it can often mimic a UTI [urinary tract infection]. We also have to make sure our patients do not have a UTI. Most of the time they don't, but we don't want to miss that. Once a UTI has been ruled out, the mucosa in the bladder and the urethra, it has a very high cell turnover rate. And things with a high cellular turnover rate like mucosal linings, they respond to radiation very quickly. They also heal very quickly, but they start to break down quite quickly during radiation." TS 16:15 "For the bladder, some things that we can teach the patients … to keep their urinary system as comfortable as possible during treatment. We really encourage hydration because the more hydrated they are, the more diluted their urine will be and the less acidic it will be. As those tissues start to respond to the radiation, they will become, for lack of a better word, a little bit raw. And if you think of something acidic going on something that is raw, it's going to burn, and these patients do get burning. And so by promoting hydration, their urine becomes less acidic; it doesn't burn as much when they do urinate. And I find a lot of patients who are experiencing the urinary side effects, they don't want to drink because they're afraid to urinate. And it actually makes the burning worse because their urine gets ultra-concentrated." TS 22:29 "Anybody who has a vagina, who receives treatment to the pelvis—it doesn't matter if it's for vaginal cancer or if it's for bowel or rectal—if they have received radiation to the pelvis, they are at risk for vaginal stenosis and adhesions. And this, of course, can be more pronounced in patients who have a higher dose in the vagina or a larger surface volume of the vagina treated. But over time, that tissue, even long after radiation is done, will undergo late changes where they will have continued scar formation, and it starts to lose its elasticity and its functionality. And at times it can stick to itself, causing these adhesions." TS 28:15 "I think a common misconception is that you cannot safely work around radiation. That is something that I have heard a lot. In certain regions of the world, the nurses actually report that they have been having trouble getting good applicants because nobody wants to work in radiation because they think that you'll get radiated, that it's not safe. We've really tried to make radiation safety a big part of our teaching to show that actually, you can safely work around radiation with today's technology." TS 41:43

Make a Logo on Fiverr The Nearity 360 Alien is not your typical conference camera. Instead of sitting at the front of the room like a traditional webcam or PTZ camera, this tall, table-mounted system is designed to sit in the middle of the action and capture nearly everyone around it. With four built-in cameras, AI framing, multiple meeting modes and optional wireless connectivity, the Nearity 360 Alien is built for boardrooms, hybrid meetings, presentations and conference setups where one camera needs to do the work of several. A Conference Camera Built for the Middle of the Table The Nearity 360 Alien is a 4K wireless camera system designed to capture a room from the center of the table. It uses four cameras to create a panoramic meeting view, then relies on AI to identify speakers and keep people framed. That makes it especially useful for rooms where people are seated around a table instead of lined up in front of a screen. Rather than forcing everyone to crowd around a laptop webcam, the Nearity 360 Alien gives remote participants a clearer view of who is speaking and where they are in the room. The Design Is Big, But That Works in Its Favor The first thing you notice about the Nearity 360 Alien is its size. This is not a tiny puck camera. It is tall, noticeable and built to sit above the table surface. That height is actually a benefit. A smaller conference camera can end up shooting people from too low of an angle, especially in a boardroom. The taller body helps the camera capture faces more naturally, and the built-in quarter-inch mount means you can also place it on a tripod if you need a better eye-level shot. There is one physical limitation: despite the 360 branding, there is a small dead spot where the cameras do not overlap. In most rooms, that will not be a major issue if you position that side toward a wall, monitor or unused side of the table. What Comes in the Box Inside the box, the Nearity 360 Alien includes the main camera unit, power adapter, remote control, USB-A to USB-C cable and a wired microphone puck with a mute button. The microphone connects directly to the camera, and a second mic can be added for larger table setups. The remote is one of the more useful accessories. It lets you change views, adjust modes, mute audio, mute video and control settings without needing to sit next to the computer. That is a big plus if the camera is being used in a meeting room where the laptop or production system is not within easy reach. Ports and Connectivity The Nearity 360 Alien includes DC power, USB-C, Ethernet, HDMI and microphone ports. The HDMI port is full-size, which is a welcome detail because it avoids the need for micro-HDMI or mini-HDMI adapters. USB-C can connect the camera to a computer for Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, OBS, vMix, Wirecast or other video software. HDMI can send video directly to a recorder, switcher or display setup. Ethernet can be used for network configuration, while the optional NA20 wireless dongle allows the camera to connect wirelessly to a computer. That wireless option is one of the stronger parts of the system. Once paired, the NA20 shows up as a wireless video and audio source, letting you use the Nearity 360 Alien in meeting apps or production software without running a USB cable across the table. Meeting Modes: Discussion, Presentation and Global The Nearity 360 Alien includes three main modes: Discussion Mode, Presentation Mode and Global Mode. Discussion Mode Discussion Mode is the best choice for meetings with multiple people talking around the table. The camera identifies faces and can show multiple participants in framed sections, while still keeping the panoramic view visible. In testing, the system was able to recognize more than one person in the room and place them into the split layout. When someone speaks, the system can highlight or shift attention toward that person, helping remote attendees follow the conversation. Presentation Mode Presentation Mode is meant for a meeting where one person is leading the discussion. This mode keeps the presenter as the focus while still letting the room remain visible. For lectures, board updates, demos or hybrid presentations, this is probably the mode most people will use. Global Mode Global Mode gives a broader room view. It is useful when you want everyone visible and do not need the AI to focus tightly on individual speakers. Video Quality and AI Framing The Nearity 360 Alien uses a Starvis CMOS sensor and offers USB 4K output, with HDMI output up to 1080p. The camera also includes image controls such as brightness, saturation, contrast, hue, white balance, HDR and regional frequency settings. In a well-lit room, the image looks clean and usable for meetings. Studio lighting looked especially good, and the camera handled face framing well. In a real meeting environment, it did a solid job following the conversation and keeping speakers visible. Lighting matters, though. Like most conference cameras, the Nearity 360 Alien performs best when the room is evenly lit. In darker or more complicated environments, such as a stage or band-meeting setup with speakers and instruments in the background, the AI can occasionally get confused. Audio: Built-In Mics, Speaker and External Mic Pucks The camera has built-in microphones on top, along with a speaker near the bottom. The included external microphone puck adds more flexibility because it can be placed closer to the person speaking or moved toward the center of the conversation. There is also a mute button on the mic puck, which is useful in a meeting where people need quick local control. Adding a second mic gives the system better coverage on both sides of a larger table. One practical tip: place the camera or mic puck on a soft surface like a mouse pad if the table picks up vibration. That can help reduce thumps, glass clinks and table noise before the audio processing has to clean it up. Software and Controls The Nearity software gives access to device settings, firmware updates, image controls, mode selection, network settings and options like flipping the image or enabling a watermark. The app is not the only way to use the camera. One of the best parts of the Nearity 360 Alien is that it can work directly over HDMI or USB without making the setup feel overly complicated. The remote also gives quick access to many of the key controls. Wireless Setup With the NA20 Dongle The NA20 wireless dongle is what turns the Nearity 360 Alien into a more flexible 4K wireless camera solution. After plugging the dongle into a computer and pairing it with the camera, it appears as a camera and audio source in meeting software. That means you can bring it into Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, OBS, vMix or other tools as a video source. Once it is working wirelessly, the only cable that still needs to remain attached to the camera is power. For conference rooms where cable clutter is a problem, that is a major win. Pros The Nearity 360 Alien does a strong job replacing a small multi-camera meeting setup with one device. It captures the room, identifies speakers, offers several useful layouts and works with common meeting and production apps. The HDMI output is convenient, the remote control is genuinely useful, the mic puck adds flexibility and the wireless dongle makes the system easier to deploy in rooms where you do not want cables running across the table. It also works well for hybrid meetings where people in the room and people online both need to feel included. Cons The main downside is the small dead spot behind the camera. It is not a true edge-to-edge 360-degree view, so placement matters. The camera is also fairly large, which may not fit every table setup. And while the AI tracking works well in normal meeting conditions, more chaotic environments with multiple visual distractions can make it less reliable. Is the Nearity 360 Alien the Best Wireless Conference Camera? The Nearity 360 Alien makes a strong case for itself if you need a conference camera that can handle real meeting rooms, not just one person sitting in front of a laptop. It is especially useful for boardrooms, team meetings, hybrid presentations, nonprofit meetings, training rooms and any space where multiple people need to be seen and heard clearly. The combination of 4K USB output, HDMI, AI framing, external mic support, meeting modes and optional wireless connectivity makes it more flexible than a standard webcam. It is not perfect, and the small blind spot means you need to think about placement. But for a room where one conference camera needs to cover almost everyone, the Nearity 360 Alien is an impressive option. Get this Conference Camera here!

Speed Racer 4K colorist John Daro joins Nerdtropolis Mayor Sean Tajipour on Reel Insights to talk about restoring the Wachowskis' visually groundbreaking live-action anime for its new 4K release. In this conversation, Daro breaks down what a colorist actually does, how color grading balances technical precision with artistry, and why Speed Racer was the perfect film to revisit with today's modern home theater technology.Daro opens up about why the project was deeply personal to him, from his family's animation history to his own connection to cars and the emotional themes at the heart of Speed Racer. He also explains how the 4K restoration stayed true to the Wachowskis' original vision while using wider color gamuts, HDR, improved shadow detail and new tools to bring out what was always hiding inside the image.The conversation also dives into the challenge of restoring a movie as visually wild as Speed Racer, including its layered effects, surreal racing worlds, bold colors, icy blues, glowing highlights and the film's goal of feeling like a true live-action anime. Daro also explains how his team handled the original 2K elements, why they avoided artificial-looking up-res work, and how their in-house Samurai tool helped make the movie feel natural in UHD.Daro also shares why Speed Racer is the disc to put in when you want to test what a new TV can really do, why filmmaker mode matters at home, and what great color work should feel like even when viewers never consciously notice it. Plus, Sean and John talk cars, vintage VWs, the lasting fandom around Speed Racer and why the world of Speed Racer still feels unfinished.Visit Nerdtropolis.comFacebook.com/nerdtropolisInstagram.com/nerdtropolisTwitter.com/nerdtropolisTikTok.com/@nerdtropolishttps://www.johndaro.com/

老师，你能不能教教专业模式拍照啊？可以教。不过对于初学者来说，我特别不建议你一上来就学专业模式。它的名字虽然很好听，好像只要用它就更专业了，但其实呢，它的名字也该改改，我觉得它叫手动模式更合适。它的主要特点呢，就是给了你更大的自由度，可以像相机一样，去调整各项参数，比如手动控制快门呐、感光度啦、白平衡啦。但是我依然不推荐大家平时就使用专业模式来拍照，有很多原因啊。手机的专业模式比如说手机比起相机来说，最大的优势就是在于计算摄影的算法的参与。而这些算法呢，通常都只有在非专业模式下才能发挥到极致。比如识别人脸时，手机会自动测量人脸的亮度，来调整曝光；© 叶梓暗光环境下，手机会自动多张合成，来形成更加明亮和清晰的画面；© 叶梓高光比场景，手机也会拍摄多张不同的曝光照片来做HDR的合成，让暗部不过暗，亮部不过曝。© 叶梓这些自动化的功能，平时都在参与拍摄，只是你不知道而已，它可以让我们更轻松的拍出更符合人眼观感的好照片。而一旦你用专业模式，你会发现它们几乎都失效了，想拍出同类型的效果的照片，要花很大的功夫，还不一定能做得到。另外，专业模式有太多的参数可以调整，我们就要学好多新的概念，要完全了解了它们的含义，才能学会控制它们。当你被什么东西打动了，拿起手机想捕捉这一瞬间，却还调这么多东西，那万一再不熟练怎么办？完了，最美瞬间已经错过了，拍摄的心情也就没有了。手机的另一个重大优势，就是轻松拍摄，搞得跟相机一样复杂的话，那我干嘛不用相机呢？© 叶梓那专业模式就完全没有用吗？那倒也不是啊。不过我可以告诉你的是，专业模式适用场景可能不足1%。说实话我作为职业摄影师，我给华为、苹果、vivo、荣耀这些手机厂商拍广告片的时候，我都是用普通的拍照模式在直接拍，用专业模式的时候真是少之又少。如果你还不知道要在什么情况下用专业模式，那其实你就不需要专业模式。咱不妨把专业模式参数放一放，把注意力重新集中回构图、光线、色彩和拍摄的瞬间上，用心体会生活的美好，用摄影来记录你的生活感悟，而不是被复杂的摄影参数打破了这一美好的时光。当然啦，专业模式也不是没用，你能想到什么非得用专业模式的情况吗？你可以在评论区做个补充。更多的摄影技巧，记得点赞、关注、收藏。今天是摄影早自习陪伴大家的2590天，我是叶梓，我们不见不散。

In this installment of The Offset Podcast we're discussing why there's been an obsession with film print emulation over the past few years and if we're ever going to move on from the FPE mania that has been gripping the color world recently.The 2020s at least in most western media, could easily be defined as the FPE era. One only has to look to the plethora of FPE tools available and to their screens to see that FPE is everywhere.  But is that a good thing?  What constitutes good FPE and poorly executed FPE? Will we ever move past the obsession with the film print look?Specifics covered in this episode include:What's good vs poorly executed FPE?How the goal posts for FPE keep movingWhat about HDR in an FPE world?Remastering of film orginated projectsWhy developers are choosing FPE for productsEnd user fatigue & is FPE popular everywhere?Check out offsetpodcast.com for our entire library of episodes.

Fernando Rivas-Manzaneque is the CEO and co-founder of Volinga AI, a spin-off born from early research into 3D Gaussian Splatting for professional film and virtual production. In this episode, Fernando walks through what Volinga actually does: from its Unreal Engine plugin, which brings relighting, depth of field, reflections, and proxy mesh-based materials to Gaussian Splats, to the newly released Volinga Suite, a full end-to-end pipeline built on top of LightField Studio with HDR and ACES support for Hollywood-grade workflows. We cover real production use cases, including a digital replica of Auschwitz-Birkenau and a Paramount+ TV show that replaced a dangerous location shoot with a VP set. Fernando also breaks down the difference between additive and mesh-based lighting, the EnVol file format, and where 4D Gaussian Splatting and generative splat creation are heading in 2026.Subscribe to XR AI Spotlight weekly newsletter

On this week's show we go beyond the hype to tell you what specs matter most, what specs are mere marketing hype, and we give you some tips for buying your next HDTV. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: The price of Netflix is set to go up for all users New VIZIO smart TVs to require a Walmart account The latest Matter update improves camera streaming Other: Why Did TV Manufacturers Stop Using 8K Panels? What Specs Matter and What Don't When Buying a New HDTV Last week the Brightside Home Theater Podcast did a panel discussion on the real factors that shape picture quality. Check it out when you have a chance, it's very informative (Beyond Resolution: The Real Factors That Shape Imaging). So this week we are piggybacking on their discussion to tell you what specs matter most, what specs are mere marketing hype, and we give you some tips for buying your next HDTV.  Specs That Matter Most Panel Technology (OLED vs. Mini-LED/QLED): Not really a spec as much as a technology but it is important for making the right decision for your room. This is the single biggest factor to consider. Choosing the right panel really matters. It directly affects how sharp, colorful, and lifelike the picture looks in your room — whether you're watching movies in the dark or enjoying sports during the day. Which technology you choose depends on what and where you watch TV. OLED (including QD-OLED): Perfect blacks, high contrast, excellent viewing angles, and natural motion. Great for dark rooms and movies. Newer 2026 OLEDs are much brighter than older ones so if you are watching sports don't count this out. Just make sure you buy one of the brighter panels like the LG G5/G6 series, Panasonic Z95B, and the BRAVIA 8 II. Mini-LED/QLED: Much brighter overall (can exceed 2,000–3,000+ nits), better for bright rooms with lots of ambient light. Good contrast with enough dimming zones, but blacks aren't as deep as OLED. Choose based on your room: OLED for controlled lighting, Mini-LED for bright rooms.  Brightness (Peak HDR nits): Real measured peak brightness in HDR content (especially small bright areas like highlights). Higher is better for HDR pop and visibility in bright rooms (1,000+ nits is solid; 2,000+ is excellent). Full-screen brightness also matters but is less advertised. Ignore vague "ultra bright" claims—look for review-tested numbers. Contrast & Local Dimming (for LCD/Mini-LED TVs): Native contrast ratio (higher is better). Number and quality of local dimming zones (more zones = better control, less blooming). OLED skips this entirely with per-pixel lighting. Poor dimming creates distracting halos. HDR Support: Dolby Vision, HDR10+, HDR10, and HLG. Dolby Vision and HDR10+ are dynamic (scene-by-scene adjustments) and preferred over basic HDR10. Most good TVs support multiple formats now. Refresh Rate (Native Panel Rate): 120Hz native is the sweet spot for most people—smooths sports, reduces blur in action, and supports 4K@120Hz from PS5/Xbox/PC. 144Hz or 165Hz is a bonus for high-end gaming. 60Hz is fine for casual viewing but noticeable in fast content. Gaming Features (if you game): HDMI 2.1 ports (at least 2–4 for full bandwidth), VRR (Variable Refresh Rate: freesync/g-sync compatible to eliminate tearing), ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode), low input lag (

Above Photograph © Donald Pettit, NASA At its best, photography draws from both science and art, to give resulting images a dual purpose—aesthetic innovation and scientific merit. And when that photography happens from the windows of the International Space Station, capturing star trails, city lights, and our blue planet against the void of space, it becomes something truly transcendent.  In today's show, we're privileged to chat with NASA Astronaut Donald Pettit, a scientist, inventor, and photographer who has spent nearly two years living, working, and making pictures in orbit. Some fun take aways from our chat include:  How photographing in a microgravity environment can turn a traditional group portrait      into bodies scattering like bowling pins when the photographer tries to join the shot. The vast perspective when viewing out a window of the ISS—on the order of half a continent—rather than a 50-to-100-kilometer horizon on earth. The stratospheric volume of imagery captured during a mission, and the discerning Lightroom workflow Don uses to retrieve individual photos from his archive at home.  The importance of a humble synch cord to connect two cameras and render the "many decades of brightness" on an EV scale as a single HDR image to illustrate the rapid transition from day to night that occurs in orbit.  And, finally, how Don has taken the concept of synchronized imagery to a cosmic level by pairing the same phenomena he captures from orbit with a complementary view recorded from earth, in collaboration with astrophotographer Babak Tafreshi. As Don explains towards the end of our chat, "I'm a big proponent of the concept of a frontier. My frontier happens to be space, but there are frontiers all around us." He then shares this parting advice: "So just explore the frontiers that present themselves to you, the frontiers that you're motivated to go to. And just open your eyes and collect data, and then record or write about it, because you could make an observation and if you don't somehow share that with others through publications or imagery, it's almost as if it's never been done." Guest: NASA Astronaut Donald Pettit Episode Timeline: 2:06: Donald Pettit's introduction to photography, plus connections between his love of science and his creative vision. 5:51: Don's first space flight in 2002 - 2003, using both film and digital cameras, plus the learning curve on the ground to prepare for photographing in space.  10:36: The success rate when shooting with film and challenges to photographing in orbit. 13:42: From photographing with a barn-door tracker to Don's recent use of an orbital sidereal tracker. 19:07: Advances in digital camera technology, Don's relationship with NASA photo trainers, and challenges to capturing group shots in microgravity. 23:43: Don's most memorable photos from space, the advantages of pro-level camera technology, plus his personal everyday camera—the Nikon Z9. 29:38: Episode Break 30:33: The benefits to fast glass for nighttime images, plus Don's reluctant transition to mirrorless technology.  33:57: Capturing the colors of city lights, plus the spread of cosmic fireflies—commonly known as Starlink satellites 37:54: Changes on Earth that affect a view from space, plus the extra gear list for Don's next flight. 42:10: The volume of images captured during a mission, Don's Lightroom workflow at home, plus taking notes on the ISS for future reference on Earth.  49:32: Don's Antarctic expedition to hunt for meteorites, and the creative potential of a frontier environment. 53:17: Don's project From Above and Below with astrophotographer Babak Tafreshi, plus the unicorns in space he hopes to capture on future missions. 57:52: Parting advice about chasing your dreams—Explore the frontiers that present themselves, open your eyes, record your observations, and share them with others. Guest Bio:  Donald Pettit is NASA astronaut and a veteran of four spaceflights, logging more than 590 days in space, primarily on the International Space Station. Currently NASA's oldest active astronaut, Don's missions have focused on scientific research into topics that include microgravity, 3D printing, water purification, and plant growth. He's also known for his remarkable in-space inventions, stunning astrophotography, and engaging educational content that makes space science engaging and fun.  A native of Silverton, Oregon, Pettit was selected as an astronaut candidate in 1996. He holds a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from Oregon State University and a doctorate in the same field from the University of Arizona. Prior to joining NASA, Pettit worked as a staff scientist at the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico.  Stay Connected: Donald Pettit on the NASA Website: https://www.nasa.gov/people/donald-r-pettit/ Donald Pettit Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/astro_pettit/ Donald Pettit on X: https://x.com/astro_Pettit Donald Pettit's Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Pettit# Host: Derek Fahsbender Senior Creative Producer: Jill Waterman Senior Technical Producer: Mike Weinstein Executive Producer: Richard Stevens

She has focused on healthcare facility design for her entire career, mostly working on large projects and medical planning. We talk about: - The power of focusing her career on one specific project type and how her after-work involvement helped her deepen her knowledge of healthcare architecture, build a strong community, and expand her impact.- Her recent elevation to FAIA and why she was advised to consider applying as a milestone, rather than a lifetime achievement (fun fact: it's both!).- We next talk about Jill's early career experience as a mentee and how she draws from that experience as she heads the AIA Academy of Architecture for Health, Colleague 2 Colleague Mentorship Program.- We talk a bit about applying the “yes, and...” principles of improv to architecture and Jill shares a few specific lessons from her incredible standing-room only 2023 Women's Leadership Summit Session.- We end by discussing how data analytics and benchmarking as well as in-person shadowing experiences in the hospital have influenced her work as an architect.>>>Connect with Architectette:- Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ www.architectette.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Learn more)- Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @architectette⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (See more)- Newsletter:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ www.architectette.com/newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (Behind the Scenes Content)- LinkedIn:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ The Architectette Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Page and/or⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Caitlin Brady⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>>>Support Architectette:- Leave us a rating and review!>>>Music by⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ AlexGrohl⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ from ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pixabay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Rivian has spent four years and billions of dollars building electric vehicles that most people cannot afford. The R2 — a mid-size SUV that starts at $45,000 and tops out at $57,990 — is the company's answer to that problem. Full pricing and trim details dropped today, 12 March 2026, and deliveries of the first Performance variant begin this spring. If it works, Rivian becomes a proper carmaker. If it does not, the maths gets ugly fast.From Concept to ConcreteThe R2 platform was first announced in 2022, with production originally pencilled in for 2025 at a planned factory in Georgia. That changed in March 2024, when RJ Scaringe, Rivian's founder and chief executive, unveiled the production-ready R2 alongside the smaller R3 and R3X crossovers at a packed event at the Rivian Theater in Laguna Beach, California. Mr Scaringe also confirmed he was scrapping the Georgia plan — at least for now — and would build the R2 at the existing Normal, Illinois plant instead. That decision saved more than $2.25 billion in capital expenditure and, crucially, pulled the launch date forward.Within 24 hours of its unveiling, Rivian had taken more than 68,000 reservations at $100 apiece. By July 2024, the company's VP of manufacturing Tim Fallon said reservations had surpassed 100,000 and were still climbing. Rivian has not updated that figure publicly since.Production began in January 2026. Validation vehicles rolled off the Normal line first, and the factory is now ramping toward a target capacity of 155,000 R2 units per year — alongside the R1 models it already builds there. Each R2 takes roughly 15 hours to assemble, down from 18 hours for an R1.Why the R2 Matters More Than Any Vehicle Rivian Has BuiltThe R1T pickup and R1S SUV earned Rivian a devoted following and the top spot in Consumer Reports owner satisfaction surveys. They also bled money. Rivian posted a net loss of $3.65 billion in 2025, on top of a $4.75 billion loss in 2024. The R1S starts near $75,000 (around £59,000) — a price that limits the addressable market to a sliver of American buyers."R2 is really instrumental for driving the business to positive cash flow and overall profitability," Mr Scaringe told CNBC in February. He was not exaggerating. The bill of materials for the R2 is roughly half that of the R1. Rivian slashed the number of computing units from over 60 in a traditional vehicle to seven, and cut wiring length by about two miles (3.2 km). The result is what Mr Scaringe called "a dramatic reduction in the cost structure to build it."Rivian did scrape together a positive gross profit in the fourth quarter of 2025 — a milestone, though the margin was wafer-thin at around 2%, compared with Tesla's 17%. The R2, with its leaner architecture and lower price, is meant to close that gap at volume. Analysts expect around 15,000 R2 deliveries in 2026, though some believe Rivian could exceed that figure. By 2027, with three full shifts running, the Normal plant could produce roughly 155,000 R2s annually.Today's Pricing: What You GetThe lineup spans four trims, all sharing an 87.9 kWh usable battery and a $1,495 destination charge. Here is how they break down:The Performance trim arrives first, this spring, at $57,990 (around £46,000) including the Launch Package. It runs dual-motor all-wheel drive with 656 horsepower, 609 lb-ft (826 Nm) of torque and a 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) time of 3.6 seconds. Highway overtaking is savage: 50–70 mph (80–113 km/h) in 1.55 seconds. EPA-estimated range sits at up to 330 miles (531 km). The Launch Package bundles lifetime Autonomy+ access, a tow package rated at 4,400 lbs (1,996 kg) and an exclusive Launch Green paint option.The Premium trim follows in late 2026 at $53,990 (around £43,000). It shares the 330-mile range and dual-motor AWD layout but dials the power back to 450 hp and 537 lb-ft. Zero to 60 takes 4.6 seconds — hardly slow.The Standard RWD Long Range arrives in the first half of 2027 at $48,490 (around £38,500). A single rear motor delivers 350 hp and 355 lb-ft, reaching 60 in 5.9 seconds. Rivian estimates range at up to 345 miles (555 km) — the longest in the lineup, because rear-wheel drive is more efficient.Finally, the Standard RWD variant lands in late 2027 at approximately $45,000 (around £35,700). It uses a smaller battery pack and offers 275+ miles (443+ km) of estimated range. Rivian has shared few other details so far.All trims charge from 10% to 80% in 29 minutes via a native NACS port, which grants access to the Tesla Supercharger network. CCS adapters are supported too.Built Lighter, Built TougherThe R2 rides on an entirely new mid-size unibody platform — a departure from the R1's body-on-frame architecture. The result is a vehicle that weighs nearly 2,000 lbs (907 kg) less than its bigger sibling while sitting on a 115.6-inch (2,936 mm) wheelbase. At 185.9 inches (4,722 mm) long and 75 inches (1,905 mm) wide, it is squarely in Tesla Model Y territory.The weight savings translate directly into agility, but Rivian has kept the off-road DNA intact. Ground clearance of 9.6 inches (244 mm) is best in class — nearly three inches more than a Model Y. Approach and departure angles of 25° and 26° respectively, plus a wading depth of 19.7 inches (500 mm), mean the R2 can do more than look adventurous in a car park. The Performance trim gets semi-active suspension, eight drive modes including Rally and Soft Sand, and a low centre of gravity courtesy of the structural battery pack.Inside, the cabin seats five adults with 40.4 inches (1,026 mm) of rear legroom and headroom — enough, Rivian says, for occupants over six feet (1.83 m) tall. Total enclosed storage is 90.1 cubic feet (2,551 litres), with a front trunk that swallows a carry-on suitcase and a backpack, fold-flat rear seats that create a level loading surface, and dual gloveboxes. The rear drop glass — a powered window that lowers completely into the liftgate — is a genuine talking point, allowing surfboards and other long cargo to slide in or a breeze to sweep through. It is included on Performance and Premium trims.Materials lean sustainable: upcycled Birch wood accents, a headliner made from recycled ocean plastics and Rivian's second-generation Adventex material, which is designed to withstand muddy boots and wet dogs in equal measure.The Technology PlayRivian calls the R2 a "software-defined vehicle," and the specification sheet backs that up. The perception stack comprises 11 HDR cameras with a combined 65 megapixels and a five-radar system — hardware that comes standard on every trim.Rivian Autonomy+, the company's Level 2+ hands-free driver-assist system, covers 3.5 million miles (5.6 million km) of roads across the United States and Canada. It costs $49.99 per month or $2,500 as a one-off purchase. The Launch Package includes it for the lifetime of the vehicle. Every R2 gets a 60-day trial.On-board AI compute runs to 200 TOPS, dedicated to the in-cabin experience. This powers the forthcoming Rivian Assistant — a voice-controlled system that processes complex requests locally, even when offline. The 5G-connected architecture ensures updates arrive over the air, while the offline capability means the vehicle is not hobbled in areas without signal.At the steering wheel, Rivian's in-house Haptic Halo dials replace conventional switchgear. These context-aware controls scroll, push, pull and tilt with distinct tactile feedback for different functions — an attempt to bridge the gap between touchscreen convenience and physical control that many rivals have abandoned entirely. Two digital displays complete the cockpit: one behind the wheel for driving data, and one in the centre for everything else.The Elephant in the Room: TeslaThe R2 lands in the most contested segment of the electric vehicle market. The Tesla Model Y — the best-selling EV on the planet and briefly the best-selling car of any kind in 2023 — starts at $44,000 in the United States and delivers up to 357 miles (575 km) of range. It has a vast Supercharger network, a mature software ecosystem and years of manufacturing refinement behind it.The R2 fights back with 3 inches (7.6 cm) more ground clearance, genuine off-road hardware, a richer interior (Model Y's cabin has always divided opinion) and that distinctive outdoor-adventure identity that Rivian has cultivated since its founding. Whether that is enough to prise buyers away from Tesla — or from the Hyundai Ioniq 5, the Ford Mustang Mach-E and the Chevrolet Equinox EV — remains the central question.Why Failure Is Not an OptionRivian burned roughly $3 billion in the first nine months of 2025 alone. It ended 2024 with about $5.3 billion in cash, a figure being steadily eroded by capital expenditure and operating losses. The Volkswagen joint venture — worth up to $5.8 billion in total — provides a lifeline, as does the potential for Department of Energy loan access. But lifelines do not last for ever.The company's stock tells its own story. Rivian went public in November 2021 at $78 a share, briefly touched $170 and now trades around $15. A 90% decline from the peak concentrates the mind wonderfully.The R2 must do three things at once: attract a materially larger customer base than the R1 ever could, generate a positive gross margin per vehicle and ramp to volumes that spread fixed costs across enough units to bend the loss curve downward. At a planned capacity of 155,000 units per year from Normal alone — with a second factory in Georgia eventually to follow — Rivian has the industrial ambition. The Volkswagen partnership supplies software licensing revenue and engineering credibility.Mr Scaringe has described the R2 as "the most important thing that we've developed as a company." On the evidence of today's specification sheet, it is also the most complete. The range is competitive, the technology is ambitious, the price is within reach of mainstream buyers and the off-road capability gives it a personality that few electric SUVs can match.None of which will matter if Rivian cannot build it at scale, on time and at a cost that leaves room for profit. The company that once dazzled Wall Street with a $170 share price now needs to dazzle customers with a $45,000 truck. That is the harder trick — and the one on which everything depends.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss first impressions of the MacBook Neo, Studio DisplayXDR, and iPhone 17e.Following its announcement last week, the ‌MacBook Neo‌ arrived this week. Unlike every other Apple silicon Mac, the ‌MacBook Neo‌ is powered by the A18 Pro chip originally developed for the iPhone 16 Pro, making it the first Mac to use an iPhone-class processor instead of an M-series chip. To reach its substantially lower price point, the ‌MacBook Neo‌ makes some compromises. Unlike the MacBook Air, it does not feature keyboard backlighting, a haptic trackpad, P3 wide color, True Tone, ambient light sensing, a camera indicator LED, MagSafe charging, Thunderbolt connectivity, or a 12-megapixel camera with Center Stage, nor does it come with Touch ID as standard. It is also thicker with a slightly reduced battery life, and has larger borders around the slightly smaller display.That being said, it is $500 cheaper than a ‌MacBook Air‌ and is designed to compete with lower-cost Windows laptops and Chromebooks, while expanding the Mac lineup with a substantially more affordable option. We talk through the real-world impact of some of these compromises, including performance with the A18 Pro chip and 8GB of memory. The ‌iPhone 17e‌ retains the same design and price as the iPhone 16e but adds the A19 chip, ‌MagSafe‌ support, Apple's second-generation C1X modem, and 256GB of base storage. Apple also introduced a new ‌Studio Display‌ XDR model, replacing the Pro Display XDR. The new model offers a 27-inch 5K mini-LED panel with up to a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR brightness up to 2,000 nits, and Thunderbolt 5 connectivity. We compare both of these new products to their predecessors, as well as the ‌iPhone 17e‌ and the ‌iPhone 16‌ as the two lowest-cost iPhones on sale today.All of the newly announced devices became available to pre-order on Wednesday, March 4, with the entire lineup scheduled to launch and begin arriving to customers on Wednesday, March 11.

On this week's episode of The MacRumors Show, we discuss Apple's concentrated week of announcements that saw the introduction of 10 new products.The most significant announcement of the week was the MacBook Neo, an all-new entry-level Apple laptop that starts at $599. The ‌MacBook Neo‌ is designed to compete with lower-cost Windows laptops and Chromebooks, while expanding the Mac lineup with a substantially more affordable option.Unlike every other Apple silicon Mac, the ‌MacBook Neo‌ is powered by the A18 Pro chip originally developed for the iPhone 16 Pro, making it the first Mac to use an iPhone-class processor instead of an M-series chip. The machine features a rounded, colorful design available in Silver, Indigo, Blush, and Citrus finishes, with matching keyboards and wallpapers that give it a more playful appearance than Apple's existing notebooks. At 2.7 pounds, it weighs the same as a MacBook Air.It offers a 13-inch Liquid Retina display with uniform, iPad-style bezels rather than a notch, a Magic Keyboard, a mechanical trackpad, two USB-C ports, 8GB of memory, a headphone jack, a 1080p camera, dual mics, dual speakers with Spatial Audio, and a battery life rated for up to 16 hours.Apple also updated several existing devices with modest specification improvements. The iPhone 17e retains the same design and price as the iPhone 16e but adds the A19 chip, MagSafe support, Apple's second-generation C1X modem, and 256GB of base storage.The 11- and 13-inch iPad Air gained the M4 chip, 12GB of RAM, Wi-Fi 7 support via Apple's N1 wireless chip, and the same C1X modem in cellular models. Meanwhile, the 13- and 15-inch ‌MacBook Air‌ were upgraded with the M5 chip and a higher base storage capacity of 512GB, though the removal of the 256GB option increased the starting price to $1,099.At the high end of the Mac lineup, Apple refreshed the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with the new M5 Pro and M5 Max chips, introducing a "Fusion Architecture" that bonds two 3nmdies together into a single processor. These models also gained faster SSD speeds, higher base storage, and Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6 via the N1 chip. Battery life increased slightly across the lineup, while GPU cores now include dedicated Neural Accelerators intended to improve AI workloads.Apple also expanded its display lineup with a new Studio Display XDR model, replacing the Pro Display XDR. The new model offers a 27-inch 5K mini-LED panel with up to a 120Hz refresh rate, HDR brightness up to 2,000 nits, and Thunderbolt 5 connectivity. The standard ‌Studio Display‌ was updated at the same time with two Thunderbolt 5 ports, improved speakers, and a camera that now supports Desk View, but retains its 60Hz panel and 600-nit brightness.All of the newly announced devices became available to pre-order on Wednesday, March 4, with the entire lineup scheduled to launch and begin arriving to customers on Wednesday, March 11.Get the right life insurance for you, for less, and save more than fifty percent at https://www.selectquote.com/macrumors00:00 - Intro01:17 - iPhone 17e06:42 - M4 iPad Air08:46 - M5 MacBook Air11:53 - Sponsor: SelectQuote13:40 - MacBook Pro: M5 Pro and M5 Max Overview21:30 - Studio Display25:58 - Studio Display XDR38:05 - Introducing the MacBook Neo

SEASON 2 - EPISODE 177 - James Slattery - Colourist In this extended episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we speak with colourist James Slattery (THE LOST BUS, EMPIRE OF LIGHT, 1917). How does someone become a colourist? What do they really do? What is a CDL? DI? QC? DIT? P3? HDR? James, with whom we've worked with several times, graciously explains what all these acronyms (and more) mean, how a colourist generally goes about their work nowadays on any given project, and what he's able to do to help filmmakers solve problems and help realize their visions in the final stages of post-production. James has experience timing dailies and also applying the finishing grade, and he helps us explain the different responsibilities and expectations of each process. James later helps us provide an overview of the different types of deliverables for a film, and he shares some common mistakes young colorists today should avoid. Though the role of a colourist is technically and creatively demanding, James, throughout our conversation, stresses the importance of being able to work with others as a member of the team. - This episode is sponsored by Aputure
