Waymo expanded its autonomous taxi service to San Francisco International Airport (SFO) after years of negotiations, while the Obsbot Tiny 3 webcam faced criticism for its high price and marginal performance gains. Researchers in Japan developed a new real-time imaging technique to capture contact between cells.
Waymo launched its autonomous taxi service at SFO, initially limited to the Rental Car Center with access to terminals via AirTrain, according to multiple reports. This expansion followed successful completion of testing phases and a signed agreement with SFO. Plans are in place to expand pickup and drop-off locations to the main terminals in the future.
Meanwhile, the Obsbot Tiny 3 gimbal webcam, marketed as a compact 4K PTZ webcam with advanced AI features like voice control, received negative reviews. The Verge reported that experts slammed the $350 price point, finding its image quality and software only marginally better than competitors like Insta360's Link 2 Pro. Reviewers suggested the high cost did not justify the limited performance gains, potentially impacting Obsbot's market position. The Verge noted that while the Tiny 3 has a slightly larger sensor and additional features, the marginal benefits may not justify the higher price point.
In other news, researchers from Japan developed a new method for real-time imaging of cell-cell and self-contact. According to Phys.org, the researchers visualized cell-cell and self-contact using Gachapin and Gachapin-C. The research was published in Cell Reports Methods.
Additionally, Flameshot, a screenshot software, offers customizable appearance, in-app screenshot editing, and a DBus interface, according to its GitHub page. The software allows users to upload to Imgur. Executing the command flameshot without parameters will launch a running instance of the program in the background without taking actions.
