A Uber anunciou hoje no Brasil o lançamento de um recurso que dará a pais e responsáveis a possibilidade de monitorar por vídeo as corridas solicitadas por adolescentes, segundo informações do Tecnoblog.

Disponível nos Estados Unidos desde o mês passado, a novidade será disponibilizada gradualmente na modalidade Uber conta Teens, que é feita para usuários entre 12 e 17 anos de idade.

Assim que a corrida for solicitada, pais e responsáveis serão notificados sobre a possibilidade de acompanhar uma transmissão ao vivo, que é encerrada automaticamente ao final do trajeto. As imagens capturadas também ficarão disponíveis na forma de uma gravação criptografada.

Há, no entanto, uma limitação importante: a disponibilidade da transmissão dependerá das condições técnicas do celular do motorista, o que dá a entender que o recurso não poderá ser ativado em certas situações mesmo que o usuário já o tenha configurado (outro requisito da novidade).

A Uber também aproveitou o anúncio para reforçar que as viagens solicitadas por adolescentes são oferecidas apenas para motoristas experientes, além de contar com todos os recursos disponíveis nas corridas para adultos (U-Áudio, U-Ajuda e U-Acompanha). Adolescentes do sexo feminino, inclusive, podem solicitar viagens apenas com motoristas mulheres (U-Mulheres) — algo já disponível para usuárias adultas.

As corridas para adolescentes passam a ficar disponíveis depois que o usuário configura um perfil familiar no app da Uber — algo que pode ser feito em Conta » Família.

String theory has been famously untestable for decades. This week the Economist reported that has changed, and the reason involves an extra dimension of space that might be just big enough to notice in a tabletop experiment. There is a rather different way to read the situation. Let's take a look.

There is money in telling you AI will destroy humanity, and there is money in telling you it will improve your life. Both sides are quietly paying creators to make the case. Some of it is disclosed properly and some of it very much is not. Let's take a look.

This MacVoices Briefing compares the Insta360 Snap Selfie Screen with Light and SmallRig Phone Vlog Selfie Monitor, two solutions for framing shots while using an iPhone’s best camera. Factors in choosing include MagSafe mounting, wired versus Wi-Fi connections, screen size, touch controls, lighting, battery life, compatibility, portability, pricing, and flexibility. Chuck talks about how to determine help which monitor is best for your different shooting needs, and  how he solved the choice question.

Apple is preparing a dedicated home-security product line and a companion monitoring service, according to Bloomberg News’ Mark Gurman, as the company maps a broader expansion of its smart-home business beyond next week’s iPhone event.

In a Sept. 4 report on Apple’s product pipeline under new Chief Executive Officer John Ternus, Gurman said the company is working on an in-home security sensor and system slated for 2027. The device is described as a privacy-centric camera and automation accessory that would use artificial intelligence to watch a room’s environment rather than continuously storing traditional video footage. That hardware, he wrote, is expected to tap into a new Apple home-security and monitoring service.

The framing is consistent with earlier Gurman reporting that Apple has been developing battery-powered security hardware — previously discussed as a camera and later as a small sensor, internally associated with the J450 project — that can recognize people, use infrared sensing, and trigger automations such as lights or music when a household member enters or leaves a room. Apple has also been said to be exploring a wider lineup that could eventually include additional cameras and a facial-recognition doorbell aimed at rivals such as Amazon’s Ring and Google’s Nest.

A service layer would be a notable shift. Apple already offers HomeKit Secure Video through iCloud, but Gurman’s latest account points to a more complete security and monitoring offering — the kind of recurring product that could sit alongside Apple’s other subscription businesses. Industry coverage of the same Bloomberg report has noted that such a service could later be bundled into Apple One, though Apple has not announced pricing, professional monitoring, or how much processing would stay on-device.

The security push is part of a larger home reset. Gurman and other reports have said Apple is first rolling out refreshed living-room hardware, including a new Apple TV 4K, an updated HomePod mini, and a screen-equipped home hub often referred to as a HomePad, before the 2027 security system arrives. The company has long lagged Amazon and Google in connected-home hardware even as it has marketed privacy as a differentiator. An AI-first sensor that avoids constant video recording would be an attempt to turn that brand position into a product category.

Apple has not publicly confirmed the devices or the service. Details on design, battery life, outdoor coverage, emergency dispatch, and whether video would still be captured after an AI alert remain unreported. What Gurman’s reporting does make clear is that Apple now sees home security as both a hardware line and a services opportunity — and that the company is targeting 2027 to bring them to market together.

The butterfly effect is much stranger than most people think, and the famous line about a butterfly in Brazil isn't what Lorenz actually meant. A group of researchers has now worked out that quantum physics puts a hard wall on weather prediction, at 129 days. Not difficult after that. Impossible. And this has implications far beyond the weather forecast because chaos enters in everything from

The dark matter search LUX-ZEPLIN has announced that they have made a detection that could be the first ever evidence for a dark matter particle. Just what have they measured, what could it be, and what does it mean? I have a brief summary.

Artificial intelligence has eaten mathematics. In the past few months alone it turned up a counterexample to a conjecture open since 1939, disproved a thirty-year-old result, and made real progress on the Riemann hypothesis. Young mathematicians are somewhere between depression and anger about it. Physics is next, and almost nobody is talking about it. Let's take a look.

An astrophysicist has claimed that some unidentified anomalous phenomena that were observed in recent years in the United States might be warp drives. He has written a paper about it in which he calculates how such a warp drive would look. I have a brief summary.

Last night, I sat down with my Vision Pro and caught the first part of the Yankees–Red Sox game live in Immersive Video. I wouldn’t call myself a baseball fan these days, but I have fond memories of many summer evenings at Tiger Stadium and Wrigley Field, and I was keen to see how Apple’s immersive broadcast compared.

Having sampled Apple’s other Immersive Video content, but very little of its sports coverage, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Sitting down to watch, I was surprised by how much it felt like I was at Yankee Stadium. Before the first pitch was thrown, the broadcast focused on the Yankees’ starting pitcher as he warmed up. Periodically, the camera angle switched, giving viewers other angles on the pre-game preparations, while the announcers chatted about each team’s season leading up to the game.

Once the game started, the camera switched to positions near each team’s batting circle depending on which team was at bat, occasionally switching to shots behind home plate and in right-center field. During each at bat, a virtual scoreboard showed a 2D feed of the game like you’d see on a regular broadcast bounded by statistics. The additional angle and information were useful for fans, but as someone who was there primarily for the experience, it took away from the immersiveness a little to see a fake scoreboard floating in the sky over the stadium’s right field wall.

That said, the immersiveness was impressive. I found myself looking all around the stadium taking in the sights and spatial audio sounds. The detail was incredible. Fully surrounded by the stadium, I watched as a family walked by with popcorn and drinks and could even read the Poland Spring label on a water bottle in the bullpen.

Then, as I watched the Yankees at bat, I could see someone off camera spitting sunflower seeds in the dirt along the dugout. That sort of minute detail added to the immersiveness of the experience every bit as much as being surrounded by the video feed and soundscape, to the point that when a player entered my view from off camera, I instinctively tucked my legs under me to avoid him tripping over me.

At times, though, I also felt a little too close to the action. It was like I had slipped into a restricted area, an invisible participant, spying on unsuspecting people on the field, waiting for security to discover me and kick me out of the stadium. That feeling was probably driven by the combination of knowing that the broadcast was live and not having watched a lot of Apple immersive sports content, but it was still a little unsettling at first.

As for the game, I didn’t pay very close attention. I don’t follow either team, but it was still fun to watch the game unfold from up close. The dugout camera angles made it slightly harder to see the pitches as they were thrown than it would be from a more traditional outfield camera viewpoint, but it really didn’t take away from the experience.

Ultimately, I only lasted about a half hour. The experience was excellent, but baseball’s pace is just too slow for my taste, so ultimately, I packed up my Vision Pro and caught up on Silo instead.

If you missed the game, it’s available to replay in full along with highlights in the TV app on Vision Pro.
