The MX platform can be converted into “hyper-personalized” spaces like “a creator studio, business lounge, or separate zones for relaxation and hobbies.” Like last year’s Bon Voyage trailer, I’ll believe it when It actually ships, but LG says it “plans to offer the MX platform as a subscription service” without offering any details or name any automative partners. It’ll be on display at CES.
The LG Radio+ streaming service is available on LG smart TVs running webOS 6.0 and above. It’s offered through a partnership with Radioline, and available in the US and South Korea, “giving users an all-in-one audio platform allowing effortless access to news, sports, music, and more,” including live stations and podcasts such as NPR, CNN Radio, Fox Radio, and The Joe Rogan Experience.
The New York Times says president Musk “was not initially expected to be part of the dinner but joined as it was underway.” Images originally shared on a now deleted Instagram story from a person who is reportedly “at Mar-a-lago a lot,” described the scene as follows:
“At 8:30 PM Musk appears out of nowhere and sits himself down and Bezos looks completely caught off guard and uncomfortable like he had been cock-blocked... The tension between Musk and Bezos known rivals is palpable as they do their best to engage politely but clearly have no love for each other...”
Taipei wants to make its communications networks less vulnerable to Chinese attack. Starlink isn’t an option because of Musk’s business ties to China and his company’s refusal to relinquish control in a joint venture. And Eutelsat’s OneWeb constellation of low Earth satellites isn’t up to snuff, according to technology minister Wu Cheng-wen:
“We found that their bandwidth is too small for real applications,” the minister said about OneWeb. “So far as I know, the company is in financial problems at this moment, so they have a [delay] in developing the second generation satellites.
Bezos’ Kuiper is still just a promise but is expected to begin offering service from its constellation of low Earth orbit satellites next year.
In addition to the absurd 21.5- and 32-inch screens already available on its fridges, it’s now offering a smaller 9-inch option while slapping 7-inch displays on its washer, dryer, and wall oven. Smaller 4.3-inch displays will be available in some markets.
The screens provide local and central control of Samsung’s connected appliances as well as entertainment. And they’ll undoubtedly be great places to display ads. Hooray!
