Global EV Sales Up 30.5% In September - Slashdot - 16/10 6:50 am

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Reuters: Global sales of fully electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles rose by an annual 30.5% in September, as China surpassed its record numbers recorded in August and Europe resumed growth, market research firm Rho Motion said on Tuesday. Gains in the U.S. market have been slow and steady in anticipation of the Nov. 5 election, which makes it difficult to predict future trends in the country, data manager Charles Lester told Reuters. EVs -- whether fully ..

electric (BEV) or plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) -- sold worldwide reached 1.69 million in September, Rho Motion data showed. Sales in China jumped 47.9% in September and reached 1.12 million vehicles, while in the United States and Canada they were up 4.3% to 0.15 million. In Europe, EV sales rose 4.2% to 0.3 million units, thanks to a 24% jump in the United Kingdom and gains in Italy, Germany and Denmark, Lester said. In the Chinese market, the penetration rate of BEV and PHEV is growing faster than some expected and sales "could be a record every month until the end of the year", Lester said. He added that Germany's 7% year-on-year growth was "definitely positive news", and that intermediate carbon emission reduction goals set in the EU for next year will test the bloc's market.

Sony's Until Dawn movie gets April 25 release date - Engadget - 16/10 6:37 am

Sony announced in January that it planned to create a movie adaptation of its 2 PlayStation game Until Dawn and the project is moving quickly through production. Earlier this month, director David F. Sandberg posted on Instagram that the film had wrapped shooting, and today Sony production house Screen Gems announced that the movie's release date will be April 25, 2025. Until Dawn became a cult favorite among the horror game fans, with a branching narrative that offers dozens of different ..

endings based on a player's choices. If you haven't had a chance to experience the original Supermassive Games title yet, the game recently received a timely spooky season remake from Ballistic Moon . One of the big questions around creating a film from the game source is which of the many possible outcomes will the team choose for the plot? And the other big question is whether Until Dawn will follow in the footsteps of successful game adaptations like The Super Mario Bros. Movie or be an absolute trainwreck like Borderlands ? So far, the signs seem promising. Director Sandberg has a solid track record in horror with Lights Out and Annabelle: Creation . The final script was written by Gary Dauberman, who worked with Sandberg on Annabelle: Creation as well as penning words for other Annabelle movies, It (2017), It Chapter Two and The Nun . The game had some notable actors involved, including Hayden Panetierre and Rami Malek. For the movie, Screen Gems tapped a cast including Ella Rubin, Michael Cimino, Ji-young Yoo, Belmont Cameli, Odessa Azion and Maia Mitchell. Peter Stormare will also reprise his role of Dr. Hill in the film version. This article originally appeared on Engadget at ...223735333.html?src=rss

The Nuio Flow is a customizable split ergonomic keyboard with magnetic .. - Engadget - 16/10 5:54 am

The Nuio Flow is a new ergonomic keyboard and accessory system for those who dont mind trading serious cash for a sleek and thoughtful design. Co-founded by two brothers, one of whom is a former Apple designer, Nuio has an Apple-like value proposition: a split keyboard and an optional trackpad, desk pad, magnetic stands and wristpads for $400 for the keyboard alone to over $1,000 for all of components. At the center of Nuios product lineup is the Flow split ergonomic keyboard, which (heres the ..

Apple influence again) puts the human form at the center of every design. Nuio CEO Tom Wilson says the products purpose is to reject legacy decisions that often dictate keyboard design. There are literally no right angles in the human body, Wilson wrote in a press release shared with Engadget. Yet we spend most of our lives hunched over rigid, rectangular keyboards and peripherals often enduring hours of wrist pain, tech fatigue and poor posture. Nuio The company describes the keyboards split, radial design as optimal for hand positioning. (Of course, there are plenty of ergonomic and split keyboards you can already buy for much less .) It has curved keys with a scissor-switch mechanism (like many laptops, including Apples current models), so this model isnt for those who like mechanical keyboards . The keys and their symbols are backlit but without color customization. Each charge of the Flow keyboard is estimated at up to 28 days, but that drops to around 15 days with some backlight use. The keyboard includes a split USB-C cable that charges both halves simultaneously. The company estimates that the non-user-replaceable internal battery will last about two years, but it says you can send it to the company for a battery replacement after that. When we reached out to the company to clarify the services cost, a Nuio spokesperson said the battery replacement is free for the first two-year window. After that, there will be a nominal replacement charge. Unlike many top-of-the-line keyboards, you cant swap out the Flow keyboards physical keys. Nuio also doesnt appear to offer key-changing on a software level; its FAQ says it offers a limited amount of key customization through your devices operating system. While most ergonomic keyboards have built-in stands, Nuio sells a $99 pair of magnetic ones separately. They let you tent and tilt the keyboard along multiple axes. The company says the stands hold their position firmly after each adjustment. Nuio Nuio also sells a $249 wireless multitouch Flow trackpad to complement the keyboard. The company says its edge-to-edge glass surface offers precision tracking and pressure-sensing. Unlike Apples current Magic Trackpad , it clicks mechanically, not with haptics and pressure-sensing. Nuio says its trackpad offers full gesture support but doesnt support deep-presses like Apples. You can also buy a $59 magnetic stand for the trackpad with multi-axis tilt support. The rest of the Nuio system includes a $99 pair of supremely comfortable wristpads. They can attach to a deskpad, available first in a travel-friendly small size for $129. The price of a large one, initially listed on the website at $179, is still in the works, according to a company spokesperson. The deskpads include magnets, too, allowing precise and flexible positioning of all NUIO components. The company says it strikes a balance between firmly holding all the systems components in place while still being easy to adjust. Nuio If you order the keyboard, trackpad, stands for each and large desk pad, youre forking over $1,084. (Cue spit take.) Like a luxury watch or car, the Nuio Flow system asks you to care enough about an elegant, modern design while typing (and perhaps have an Apple designers salary yourself) to invest in the elegant-looking accessory ecosystem. The Nuio Flow Keyboard and its peripherals are now available to pre-order from the companys website . The keyboard in space gray with a macOS legend, small deskpad keyboard stands, trackpad stand and wristpads are expected to ship in early December. Meanwhile, if you want the keyboard with Windows / dual OS legends or in other colors (silver, gold, rose gold, blue, green and brown), youll have to wait for early January. The large deskpad is coming soon. Update, October 15, 2024, 5:50PM ET : We updated the story to reflect more current details about the keyboards estimated battery life and the large deskpads pricing, according to a company spokesperson. Update, October 15, 2024, 5:00PM ET : This story has been updated to add a Nuio spokespersons info about the battery replacement services cost.

Apple Announces New, Faster iPad Mini Built For Apple Intelligence - Slashdot - 16/10 5:30 am

In a press release this morning, Apple announced a new iPad Mini with a faster A17 Pro chip that supports Apple Intelligence. The Verge reports: The new Mini is mostly a spec bump: it runs a new A17 Pro chip, which Apple says has a 30 percent faster CPU, 25 percent faster GPU, and a Neural Engine twice as fast as the previous model. The device also supports the new Apple Pencil Pro, which is a nice touch for the Mini-toting artists out there, and comes with 128GB of storage in the base model ..

rather than 64GB. (Those AI models need all the space they can get.) The Wi-Fi 6E chip is faster, the USB-C port is faster, everything about the iPad Mini is the same as before only faster this time. The only real design change with the new Mini is the colors. Apple's gone more colorful with a lot of its products this year, and the Mini comes in new purple and blue models. In photos they look muted rather than vivid, though, so don't expect the eye-popping new colors on the iPhone 16. Read more of this story at Slashdot.

The Apple Pencil Pro is 30 percent off, taking it down to an all-time low .. - Engadget - 16/10 5:03 am

Apple doesn't offer many discounts for its product lineup, so seeing one of its tablet accessories on sale for a third off the usual cost is exciting. The Apple Pencil Pro is available on Amazon for just $90, the lowest price we've seen for it. This is the most recent stylus model from Apple, with a design overhaul that was just announced in May, and it quickly rose to prominence as one of our favorite accessories for an iPad . The Pencil Pro has some useful features for optimal control and ..

navigation, such as squeeze and roll gestures. The stylus boasts pressure sensitivity; in other words, it will make darker marks if you press harder and lighter marks if you use a light touch. It delivers haptic feedback to your fingers and if you have a habit of misplacing accessories, the Pencil Pro also can be tracked down with Find My. And as with other Apple Pencils, the Pro will attach magnetically to your iPad's chassis for charging when it's not in use. There are a few downsides to the Pro model, most notably that it's still not universally supported across all iPads. We've got a rundown of all the different Apple Pencils' features and compatibilities, but the tl;dr is that this high-end version works with the M4 iPad Pro, the M2 iPad Airs and the latest model of the iPad Mini . So this may not be the right buy for every iPad owner, but it's a great tool for taking full advantage of everything those tablets can do.
