Raspberry Pi built an AI camera with Sony
AI enthusiasts who like the Raspberry Pi range of products can rejoice, as the company is now announcing its new Raspberry Pi AI Camera. This product is the result of the company’s collaboration with Sony Semiconductor Solutions (SSS), which began in 2023. The AI Camera is compatible with all of Raspberry Pi’s single-board computers.
The approximately 12.3-megapixel AI Camera is intended for vision-based AI projects, and it’s based on SSS’ IMX500 image sensor. The integrated RP2040 microcontroller manages the neural network firmware, allowing the camera to perform onboard AI image processing and freeing up the Raspberry Pi for other processes. Thus, users who want to integrate AI into their Raspberry Pi projects are no longer limited to the Raspberry Pi AI Kit.
The AI Camera isn’t a total replacement for Raspberry Pi’s Camera Module 3, which is still available. For those interested in the new AI Camera, it’s available right now from Raspberry Pi’s approved resellers for $70.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/computing/accessories/raspberry-pi-built-an-ai-camera-with-sony-165049998.html?src=rss

This smart front door can go from clear to opaque with a voice command
The Home Depot’s newest smart door features smart glass that can turn from opaque to clear with the press of a button or a smart home command. | Image: The Home Depot
Glass front doors are great for letting light in during the day but not so great when you want privacy at night. The Home Depot has a smart solution for this problem — a glass front door that can switch from clear to opaque on a schedule, with a voice command, or by pressing a button.
The smart glass Feather River door is a prehung fiberglass front door with built-in smart glass. A button on the door lets you change the glass from clear to opaque, and it works with The Home Depot’s Hubspace smart home app to control it from your phone. You can also set the glass on a schedule and have it be clear during the day and opaque at night. The door costs $798 for a three-quarters lite, $899 for a half lite, and $998 for a full lite, similar to a non-smart front door.

Hubspace is The Home Depot’s attempt at demystifying the smart home for its customers. Despite the name, the smart home platform doesn’t require a hub, just the Hubspace app. With it, you can connect and control a wide range of The Home Depot’s store brands, from smart lights and shades to bathroom fans and thermostats.
The smart glass door is the retail giant’s first Hubspace collaboration with a third party. It works with the Hubspace app and can connect to smart home systems like Amazon Alexa or Google Home to use a voice command to make your door clear or opaque.
The smart glass works over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi and requires power. The door has a battery built into the frame, which a USB cable can power if you have an outlet nearby. The battery is removable, and the door comes with a second battery and a charger.
The battery only powers the glass and the connectivity. Unlike The Home Depot’s first attempt at selling a smart door — the $4,000 M-PWR smart door from Masonite — the Feather River door doesn’t feature built-in power for a smart doorbell or door lock. It’s a standard door outside of the glass. You can add a battery-powered smart lock, and the door acts as a Bluetooth-to-Wi-Fi bridge for Hubspace-compatible Bluetooth locks.
The door is designed to fit a standard entryway and comes with a frame and weather stripping for easy installation. According to The Home Depot, the glass is exterior security strength, and a hurricane glass option is coming soon.

Along with the new door, The Home Depot is launching a number of other new connected products that work with its Hubspace app:
Vissani’s 8.8-cubic-foot smart chest freezer, $299, is available now. It can switch between fridge and freezer mode and send alerts if the temperature changes significantly or if the freezer goes offline.
Defiant Smart Home Alarm Kit, $99, is a DIY smart alarm kit with a keypad, two door / window sensors, a motion sensor, and a base station with a battery backup and a built-in siren. The contact sensors have a bypass button to temporarily disarm the system when you want to let the dog out at night.
Defiant Fingerprint Electronic Touchpad Deadbolt is a $119 smart lock that uses Wi-Fi and features a fingerprint reader, a keypad, and a traditional key.
Hampton Bay Permanent Mount String Lights are coming in October. They start at $99 for 50 feet and can be expanded up to 100 feet. The LED lights feature 50 lumens of individually controllable white light and full-color LEDs.

Cruise hit with $1.5 million fine for failing to report robotaxi crash involving pedestrian
Cruise’s failure to disclose the fact that a pedestrian was seriously injured by one of its driverless vehicles in San Francisco last year has now resulted in a $1.5 million fine to the federal government.
Last October, a Cruise vehicle hit a pedestrian and then dragged her 20 feet after she was initially struck by a human driver in a hit-and-run incident. In the aftermath, Cruise disclosed that its vehicle had struck a pedestrian but omitted details about the victim being dragged. As a result, the California Department of Motor Vehicles pulled the GM-backed company’s permit to operate self-driving cars in the state, and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration launched an investigation into the incident.
Today, NHTSA announced the $1.5 million penalty as part of a broader consent order with Cruise that includes additional requirements around safety and disclosure. The company submitted several “incomplete reports” under the agency’s Standing General Order, which requires crash reports to be filed within a certain period of time, depending on their severity.
“Incomplete reports”
In its first report to NHTSA, filed one day after the incident, Cruise failed to disclose “that the Cruise vehicle had dragged the pedestrian,” the consent order reads. The company also filed an additional report 10 days later in which it also failed to disclose the dragging incident.
“It is vitally important for companies developing automated driving systems to prioritize safety and transparency from the start,” NHTSA Deputy Administrator Sophie Shulman said. “NHTSA is using its enforcement authority to ensure operators and manufacturers comply with all legal obligations and work to protect all road users.”
After its permit was suspended, Cruise hired a law firm to conduct an investigation into what went wrong. The firm’s report concluded that the company had tried to send a 45-second video to regulators that showed its vehicle dragging the victim but was hampered by “internet connectivity issues.” Also, Cruise employees failed to point out the dragging incident in subsequent conversations with regulators.
“Our agreement with NHTSA is a step forward in a new chapter for Cruise, building on our progress under new leadership, improved processes and culture, and a firm commitment to greater transparency with our regulators,” Cruise’s chief safety officer, Steve Kenner, said in a statement. “We look forward to continued close collaboration with NHTSA as our operations progress, in service of our shared goal of improving road safety.”
In recent weeks, Cruise has made the first tentative steps toward resuming operations in the Bay Area. The company has deployed manually driven mapping vehicles in Sunnyvale and Mountain View, with the goal of progressing to “supervised testing” later this fall. It has also restarted testing in a number of other cities, including Phoenix, Houston, and Dallas.
But further penalties could be coming in the future. The company is also being investigated by the Department of Justice and the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Sea of Stars’ free Dawn of Equinox update arrives in November
The first of two Sea of Stars content updates for the next year has an official release date. The free Dawn of Equinox, which adds a co-op mode, new combat and other features, arrives on November 12 on all platforms.
Announced in March, Dawn of Equinox adds new game modes and mechanics for our favorite lunar-solar heroes, Valere and Zale. It includes a new local co-op mode that lets you and up to two friends play the entire game together. Each player has independent movement when traversing the world (as long as you stay within the screen’s confines), and there’s a new co-op Timed Hits feature that turns one of the core game’s mechanics into a group effort.
Sabotage Studio
The update also includes Combat 2.0, which adds some fun wrinkles to Sea of Stars’ battles. Mystery Locks adds a new challenge to unlock enemies’ spells the first time you face them. (A corresponding “Reveal” action will appear in some of your party’s special skills.) Combo points also remain after battles, which should open the door to some epic beat-downs on your opening moves in subsequent standoffs. In addition, developer Sabotage Studio says it’s put effort into rebalancing the entire game to reflect the new mechanics and incorporate player feedback.
Other changes include a more action-oriented prologue that ditches the old flashback structure, a bonus cinematic and a relic (game mode) designed for speedrunners. There will also be three difficulty options when starting the game. Finally, it enhances the game’s secret-tracking parrot and adds a French Canadian translation, “for Quebec’s finest Solstice Warriors.”
The new features in Dawn of Equinox will also apply in the upcoming Throes of the Watchmaker DLC. That content will add an all-new storyline next spring in what Sabotage Studio describes as “an encore to Sea of Stars’ original adventure” (perhaps before a full-fledged sequel?). The DLC will send Valere and Zale into a “magical miniature clockwork world threatened by a cursed carnival,” forcing the heroes to adapt their sun and moon magic to the mysterious environment.
Sabotage Studio
Sea of Stars was one of 2023’s biggest surprises, garnering grassroots praise and taking home the hardware for Best Indie Game at last year’s Game Awards. Engadget’s Lawrence Bonk praised the game’s Chrono Trigger vibes earlier this year, calling out its gorgeous pixel art and an overworld map that pays proper tribute to its ’90s RPG inspirations.
Sea of Stars is available now on all major platforms: PC, Switch, PS5/4, Xbox One Series X/S and Xbox One (including on Game Pass). The full game costs $35, and both big upcoming content updates will be added for free.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/gaming/sea-of-stars-free-dawn-of-equinox-update-arrives-in-november-164023516.html?src=rss

UK Ends 142-Year Coal Power Era in Industry’s Birthplace
AmiMoJo writes: The UK is about to stop producing any electricity from burning coal — ending its 142-year reliance on the fossil fuel. The country’s last coal power station, at Ratcliffe-on-Soar, finishes operations on Monday after running since 1967. This marks a major milestone in the country’s ambitions to reduce its contribution to climate change. Coal is the dirtiest fossil fuel producing the most greenhouse gases when burnt.
The UK was the birthplace of coal power, and from tomorrow it becomes the first major economy to give it up. The first coal-fired power station in the world, the Holborn Viaduct power station, was built in 1882 in London by the inventor Thomas Edison — bringing light to the streets of the capital. In the early 1990s, coal began to be forced out of the electricity mix by gas, but coal still remained a crucial component of the UK grid for the next two decades. In 2012, it still generated 39% of the UK’s power.
In 2010, renewables generated just 7% of the UK’s power. By the first half of 2024, this had grown to more than 50% — a new record. The rapid growth of green power meant that coal could even be switched off completely for short periods, with the first coal-free days in 2017.

Intel Core Ultra 9 285 leak reveals spec of tamed Arrow Lake flagship CPU – and its potential performance levels
Is this a fast and powerful new chip? Well, kind of, but the benchmark results look to have gone a bit awry here…
Intel’s Core Ultra 9 285 CPU is the subject of the latest Arrow Lake leak, and a sighting of this processor in Geekbench gives us some purported specs, and a glimpse of the potential performance on offer – with a caveat.
The Geekbench 6 result was flagged up on X by BenchLeaks, with the Core Ultra 9 285 running in an Asus Prime Z890-P motherboard (with LGA 1851, the new socket for Arrow Lake processors).
[GB6 CPU] Unknown CPUCPU: Intel Core Ultra 9 285 (24C 24T)Min/Max/Avg: 5461/5579/5560 MHzCodename: Arrow LakeCPUID: C0662 (GenuineIntel)Single: 3081Multi: 14150https://t.co/zPyFYuKEoHSeptember 30, 2024
What the leak tells us is (add the usual salt) that the Core Ultra 9 285 is a 24-core (24-thread) CPU and this is the 65W TDP (thermal design power) variation. (As opposed to the Core Ultra 9 285K, which is the unlocked 24-core processor that can be overclocked, with a TDP of 125W for PL1).
The Intel Core Ultra 9 285 will have the same core configuration as its K counterpart, meaning 8 performance cores alongside 16 efficiency cores. The chip has 36MB of L3 cache, with a base clock speed of 2.5GHz, and max boost speed of 5.6GHz. In the Geekbench 6 testing the chip was paired with 8GB of DDR5-5600 memory, meaning DDR5 system RAM with a speed of 5600MHz.
Scoring anomaly
Achieving a score of 3,081 in Geekbench for single-core is not bad at all. However, the Core Ultra 9 285 does stumble with its multi-core result of 14,150. As Wccftech, which spotted the above tweet, points out, that falls short compared to the vanilla Core i9-14900 (current non-K flagship) which hits around 17,000 to 18,000 for multi-core.
Something’s clearly awry here, then, as the plain 285 will not be that far off the pace of the 285K unlocked version – we expect further benchmarks will show that. Note that the non-K Arrow Lake CPUs, include the Core Ultra 9 285, will not launch until Q1 2025, so aren’t as close to shipping as the K versions (but they aren’t a million miles away either).
As we previously reported, we might see Intel’s first Arrow Lake CPUs, which will be those K models spearheaded by the 285K, as early as October 2024.
