Do you like to Ski? If the answer is yes, 1, Can we come ride with you sometime? and 2, You should check out this new tech that is designed to help make you a better skier.
Carv is a wearble that gives you real time feedback, data anaylsis, and actes as your digital Ski coach. How cool is that? (insert ice cold joke here).
It’s an extremely thin smart insert that measures your motion and pressure distribution and relays feedback through your earphones- in real-time. Whaaat. You can pick drills, keep track of your achievements and personal bests for each ski run, challenge yourself or a friend to a technical drill and find out who is the most versatile skier.
It also connects wirelessly to your smartphone with detailed metrics and analysis. Whether you’re advanced, pro, or casual, Carv will help you ski.
For every turn you make Carv analyses when, where and how much pressure you apply. Carv then speaks to you to correct your form in real-time on the slopes and later provides in-depth run analysis in the app.
Carv is on Kickstarter, currently sitting pretty with 545 backers that have pledged $114,520 of $50,000 goal with 40 days to go. Pledge $169 and you can get in on the Carv action!
Apple has acknowledged the “1970” date bug affecting 64-bit iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices.
If you don’t know about this bug, maybe it’s best. If you really want to know – read on. Manually changing the date to May 1970 or earlier results in a continuous reboot cycle and will prevent your iOS device from turning on after a restart. Crimeny!
This video explains why the issue may occur:
Apple say that a fix will be available in an upcoming iOS software update.
If you do have this issue restoring through iTunes in DFU Mode may work. It’s best to contact Apple Support.
Yesterday, both Facebook and Twitter raised their strong tech voice to stand alongside Apple.
The order the FBI made specifically requires that Apple creates a version of iOS that would let it crack the passcode on the iPhone 5c used by San Bernardino shooter Syed Farook.
Specifically, these are the orders.
1. Eliminate the auto-erase function that wipes an iPhone if the wrong passcode is entered 10 times.
2. Eliminate the delay that locks the FBI out of the iPhone if the wrong passcode is entered too many times in a row.
3. Implement a method that would allow the FBI to electronically enter a passcode using software.
Apple calls this a ‘dangerous precedent’. Others in the tech world agree.
From Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey:
We stand with @tim_cook and Apple (and thank him for his leadership)! https://t.co/XrnGC9seZ4
Facebook shared its announcement through a statement with USA Today:
“We condemn terrorism and have total solidarity with victims of terror. Those who seek to praise, promote, or plan terrorist acts have no place on our services. We also appreciate the difficult and essential work of law enforcement to keep people safe,” the statement reads. “When we receive lawful requests from these authorities we comply. However, we will continue to fight aggressively against requirements for companies to weaken the security of their systems. These demands would create a chilling precedent and obstruct companies’ efforts to secure their products.”
Google CEO Sundar Pichai supports Apple, and in a statement has also called the FBI’s request a “troubling precedent”. WhatsApp CEO Jan Koum and several advocacy groups, including the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Fight for the Future, and the American Civil Liberties Union have also voiced their support.
