The feature lets you identify the people who regularly come to your door by creating a catalog of up to 50 faces. The company says the Ring feature is opt in and the biometric data isn't used to train AI models.
Truecaller's Family Protection will be rolled out widely in the first quarter of 2026. The new feature lets up to five people join a family group overseen by one member who acts as the administrator and manages scam-blocking settings for the others.
Compromise is key to keeping a team humming along. Say one person wants an inrunner electric motor, and the other prefers outrunner. What to do? Well, if you work at [Deep Drive], the compromise position is a dual-rotor setup that they claim can be up to 20% more efficient than standard designs. In a recent video, [Ziroth] provides a deep dive into Deep Driveβs Twin-Rotor Motor.Β
This is specifically a radial flux permanent magnet motor, like most used in electric vehicles today β and donβt let talk of inrunners and outrunners fool you, thatβs the size of motor weβre talking about here. This has been done before with axial flux motors, but itβs a new concept for team radial. As the names imply, the difference is the direction the magnetic field is orientated: axial flux motors have all the magnetism oriented along the axis, which leads to the short wide profile that inspired the nickname βpancake motorsβ. For various reasons, youβre more likely to see those on a PCB than in an electric car.
In a radial flux motor, the flux goes out the radius, so the coils and magnets are aligned around the shaft of the motor.Β Usually, the coils are held by an iron armature that directs their magnetic flux inwards (or outwards) at the permanent magnets in the rotor, but not here. By deleting the metal armature from their design and putting magnets on both sides of the stator coil, Deep Drive claims to have built a motor that is lighter and provides more torque, while also being more energy-efficient.
Of course you canβt use magnet wire if your coil is self-supporting, so instead theyβre using hefty chunks of copper that could moonlight as busbars. In spite of needing magnets on both inner and outer rotors, the company says they require no more rare-earths than their competitors. Weβre not sure if that is true for the copper content, though. To make the torque, those windings are beefy.
Still, its inspiring to see engineers continue to innovate in a space that many would have written off as fully-optimized. We look forward to seeing these motors in upcoming electric cars, but more than that, hope they sell a smaller unit for an air compressor so after going on a Deep Drive deep dive we can inflate our rubber raft with their twin rotor motor boater bloater. If it works as well as advertised, we might have to become twin-rotor motor boater bloater gloaters!
According to Consumer Reports' 2025 used vehicle reliability study, Tesla is the most unreliable used car brand in the US. It placed last among 26 automotive brands with a reliability ranking of 31 β below Jeep (32), Ram (35), and Chrysler (36). The study evaluated the reliability of 5- to 10-year-old models on the second-hand market.
MEmu is a lightweight Android emulator that delivers smooth gaming on PC, with features like keymapping, multi-instance support, and high frame rates. Like other emulators, it offers the advantage of running mobile apps on a larger screen with improved performance and precise controls.
If you have an older SSD that you're looking to replace, you're probably wondering what to do with your previous drive. There are many ways to repurpose it, but the one thing you should not do is throw it away.
As the price of memory continues to skyrocket, and games become more and more demanding, it's fair to ask how much the RAM on your GPU actually matters. What's the right quantity? What about speed and bandwidth? If you're wondering what to decide when it comes to your next GPU's RAM, it's time to have the talk.
Over the last year, the Google Photos app has seen a series of redesigns. The image editor was one of the first things to be refreshed, and now Google has moved on to videos. If youβve been relying on third-party apps like CapCut for simple video edits, get ready to tap the "Uninstall" button.
Wi-Fi cameras are incredibly convenient, but this convenience comes at a cost. Though you can stick them almost anywhere and use solar power or rechargeable batteries to keep them powered, you might find that they let you down when you need them the most.
