Support CleanTechnica’s work through a Substack subscription or on Stripe. XPENG launched the new P7+ in Europe earlier today. Last November, XPENG gave me the privilege to see a preview of the car now being launched, which I can now share. This is a next-generation model in China, with the 100,000th P7+ rolling off the line this week. However, it is a new model for Europe. Multiple refinements and adjustments have been made throughout the car to adapt to the diverse user needs in both markets. Not only is the new model coming to Europe, but it also launches European…
Do you want to learn how to load a xib file to create a custom view object? Well, this UIKit tutorial is just for you written in Swift. I already have a comprehensive guide about initializing views and controllers, but that one lacks a very special case: creating a custom view using interface builder. 🤷‍♂️Loading xib filesUsing the contents of a xib file is a pretty damn easy task to do. You can use the following two methods to load the contents (aka. the view hierarchy) of the file.let view = UINib( nibName: “CustomView”, bundle: .main ).instantiate( withOwner: nil, options:…

Two months after reporting that the industrial designer who introduced the iPhone Air at Apple’s September event had left for an unnamed AI company, Bloomberg has now shared details on where he went. 30 engineers hired away from tech giants to date According to Bloomberg, industrial designer Abidur Chowdhury has left Apple to join Hark, a recently founded AI startup led by Brett Adcock, who also serves as CEO of Figure AI. There is little information available about Hark. Based on a memo seen by The Information, the startup was launched just a few weeks ago with $100 million in…
Infrared (IR) photodetectors (PDs) are one of the PDs classified based on the wavelength range of light absorbed beyond the visible spectrum, comprising near-infrared (NIR, 0.7 µm to 1.4 µm), short-wave infrared (SWIR, 1.4 µm to 3 µm), and mid-wave infrared (MWIR, 3 µm to 5 µm). IR PDs play a crucial role in PDs technology with its extensive utilization as a key component in a wide range of applications including telecommunication, medical imaging, environmental monitoring, agriculture, astronomy, consumer electronics, automotive industry, defense, security, fiber optics, remote control, night vision, thermal imaging, wearable health sensors, IR spectroscopy, gas analysis, thermal radiation and heat detection [1], [2],…
I’ve talked about how I love a nice pretty prompt in my Windows Terminal and made videos showing in detail how to do it. I’ve also worked with my buddy TooTallNate to put my real-time blood sugar into a bash or PowerShell prompt, but this was back in 2017. Now that I’m “Team OhMyPosh” I have been meaning to write a Nightscout “segment” for my prompt. Nightscout is an open source self-hosted (there are commercial hosts also like T1Pal) website and API for remote display of real-time and near-real-time glucose readings for Diabetics like myself. Since my body…
Software is a method of communicating human intent to a machine. When developers write software code, they are providing precise instructions to the machine in a language the machine is designed to understand and respond to. For complex tasks, these instructions can become lengthy and difficult to check for correctness and security. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers the alternative possibility of interacting with machines in ways that are native to humans: plain language descriptions of goals, spoken words, and even gestures or references to physical objects visible to both the human and the machine. Because it is so much easier to…
Like all open-ear earbuds, the OpenFit Pro have an airy and open soundstage that delivers a more natural listening experience than regular earbuds — it’s closer to the experience of listening to speakers. You can make them sound even more immersive by activating the confusingly named Optimized for Dolby Atmos mode. I say confusing because this mode is neither a replacement for Dolby Atmos nor is it strictly for use with existing Dolby Atmos content. It is essentially Dolby’s best earbud-based audio software, which combines spatial audio processing (for a wider and deeper soundstage) with optional head tracking. Both of…
For more than a decade, sales outsourcing has been built around scale, coverage, and activity execution, with success measured through volume metrics such as leads generated, calls made, or sellers supported. That model is increasingly misaligned with how buying decisions are made today. Buyer journeys are now fragmented and signal-rich, shaped by industry-specific dynamics, regulatory constraints, and growing ecosystem complexity. At the same time, generative AI (gen AI) and agentic Artificial Intelligence (AI) are reshaping how sales work is executed, while revenue leaders demand greater predictability, clearer attribution, and measurable business impact. By 2026, sales services will no longer be defined by scale or any single sales…
