ARSTECHNICA.COM97% of drivers want in-car payment system for tolls, parking, chargingI'll only be an hour 97% of drivers want in-car payment system for tolls, parking, charging Any system should be easy to use and work for parking, fueling, and charging. Jonathan M. Gitlin – Apr 8, 2025 11:33 am | 49 Credit: Getty Images Credit: Getty Images Story text Size Small Standard Large Width * Standard Wide Links Standard Orange * Subscribers only Learn more Imagine having a well-designed payment app for your car's infotainment system that let you effortlessly pay for parking, road tolls, EV charging, or refueling. Such a concept found universal appeal among US drivers, according to a study by a market research company. But simplicity is key: The moment it gets difficult to register or use such an app, interest wanes and people prefer to pay for things the older-fashioned ways, DriveResearch found. For instance, there was a high level of desire to be guided through the process of entering one's billing or credit card info into an in-car payment app. Seven in 10 participants said that they'd want such a thing to happen when the car is being delivered and while they're still in the "new car" mindset. But most don't want to do that at a dealership: 77 percent also said they would prefer to register for in-car payments at home, via the phone or a computer, with only 67 percent wanting to use the car's infotainment screen and just over half (53 percent) saying it would be OK to use the automaker's connected car app. Almost all drivers (87 percent) said it would be useful if the payment app let them know when it could be used, and 80 percent said they'd be frustrated if their cars didn't notify them, which DriveResearch says "shows that there is a significant opportunity for OEMs to deliver value connected services with intelligently perceived nudges for in-car payments." Nearly everyone questioned as part of the research study would probably be OK with that, as long as it translated to a discount for using the in-car payment system; while this was a motivating factor, the time-savings and efficiency of frictionless in-car payments were the main draw. And a single platform that can pay for parking, charging, and fueling would be valuable, according to 97 percent of drivers. People would even be prepared to pay extra, apparently. According to DriveResearch, 7 in 10 drivers would pay more for a car with in-car payment tech than a car without; some of them (36 percent) would be OK paying $700 or more for such functionality across the lifetime of the car, with more people (47 percent) preferring the cost be a one-time payment rather than a recurring fee (30 percent). Not everyone is trusted to look after those payment details, however. Apple's and Google's payment services come out on top, with 83 percent trusting them to securely manage their card info in their cars. Only 63 percent trust the actual credit card companies, and only 57 percent trust the automakers. That's still better than the parking app (47 percent) or parking operator (43 percent). Only 7 percent trusted local municipalities. DriveResearch says that the growing acceptance of in-car payment systems is happening faster thanks to the spread of EVs, many of which have what's known as "plug and charge," in which the car exchanges payment or billing information with a charger during the handshake process.

WWW.INFORMATIONWEEK.COMAsk a CIO Recruiter: How AI is Shaping the Modern CIO RoleBen Cole, Senior Executive Editor, InformationWeekApril 8, 20257 Min ReadArtur Marciniec via Alamy StockArtificial intelligence promises to accelerate many of the tasks and functions that drive today’s business. Few organizations have realized its potential, however, mostly because AI capabilities are still relatively new and legacy architecture limits AI project scalability.Despite these limitations, chief information officers are under enormous pressure to deliver measurable, concrete return on AI investments, says executive recruiter Charley Betzig, managing director at Heller Search Associates, Inc. In this Q&A with InformationWeek, Betzig discusses the CIO job market and how AI is influencing the CIO’s role.This interview has been edited for clarity and length.What do CIOs need to know about the job and the CIO job market? How is the CIO’s day-to-day role evolving?It’s all about AI -- and it’s not just AI, in of itself, but it’s AI value creation. That affects every search, every CIO role. There are always different starting points, and every CIO role is a little bit different. But baseline, we are looking for CIOs who have created value using AI.Someone has to understand the business that they are walking into, understand the starting point, and then know how to build from that starting point to take the business where they want to go to achieve that value creation. Every business is starting on a different part of the spectrum. Some, to get value from AI, they are starting from a very primitive place in terms of data. You need to build a foundational data strategy to make sure data is clean and available so AI can be used to create that value.Related:Charley BetzigOther organizations are further along, and you can start building those AI use cases more quickly. But it is really business acumen, to know the environment that you are walking into and how to move the organization forward from there. There is the cross-functional leadership -- the IT function has evolved a lot over time. Early days, IT was more of a back-office function; it was a follower. Then you had this whole concept of IT as a leader -- a CIO had to own all of technology in an organization. If the business owned any of it, it was bad, it was shadow IT. I think that is kind of going away too, especially with AI.There is kind of this notion of the CIO is sort of the sherpa, and the business is the one climbing the mountain. But the CIO is there guiding the way, putting the right guardrails in place, making sure everyone is moving in the right direction when pushing AI. But you need the business to be the ones who are out there driving these use cases because they know what they want.Related:What are companies looking for in a modern CIO? Is an MBA important or are there certain certifications that are proving more valuable?It’s always nice to have an MBA, but what I’m focused on is making sure CIOs have that right blend of technical chops and business acumen. Technical chops are the easiest thing to look for -- we always look for CIOs that have a foundation in computer science or something like an information systems degree -- those things point to that technical knowledge.If they have an MBA, then that is a plus for sure. But I more look to the education to make sure they have that technical foundation.Everything right now revolves around AI, but you still as CIO have to have that grounding in all of the traditional disciplines of IT. Whether that is systems, whether that’s infrastructure, whether that’s cybersecurity, you have to have that well-rounded background. Even as these AI technologies become more prolific, you must consider your past infrastructure spend, your cloud spend, that went into these technologies. How do you manage that? If you don’t have grounding in managing those costs, and being able to balance those costs with the innovation you are trying to create, that’s a recipe for failure on the cyber side. And AI is creating even more vulnerabilities from a cyber standpoint. Someone has to have that sort of foundation as well. You still have those classic disciplines you can’t forget about even as you’re searching for that shiny object.Related:Are there certain CIO-specific skills that companies have a hard time hiring for?It goes back to that AI value creation -- every company is trying to do that, and the hard part is it’s really a new thing. It’s not a ‘we can go out and we can recruit someone from Silicon Valley who is an AI pioneer and knows all about the sexiest different technologies that can be applied.’ Is that the best person to come into a manufacturing company in the Midwest and work with those employees on AI use cases to create value? It’s not. When we’re looking for skill sets, we’re looking for people who have actually taken those AI technologies and applied them within their organizations to create real business value -- whether that is cost savings or top-line revenue creation, whatever those are.It’s hard to find those candidates, because there are a lot of those people who can talk the talk around AI, but when you really drill down there is not much in terms of results to show. It’s new, especially in applying the technology to certain settings. Take manufacturing: there’s not that many CIOs out there who have great examples of applying AI to create value within organizations. It’s certainly accelerating, and you’re going to see it accelerating more as we go into the future. It’s just so new that those examples are few and far between. There are certainly people out there who have done it, they are just not all over the place.What are CIOs looking for in both the organization and its employees when they are considering taking on a job?Every one of these searches that we do, there is some change they are trying to achieve. It’s change, it’s value creation through technology. A huge part of that is making sure that business leadership and the employee base is receptive to that change.There are varying degrees of that. One skill we always look for is change leadership, because you have to come in and guide the organization in that direction. But if you’re a CIO that is coming into an organization that is asking for that, you want to make sure that you have the backing of leadership, the leadership you are working for, that the business is hungry for that. If the desire is not there, then it is hard to make it happen.Culture is one of the biggest parts of it, in finding that mesh. An organization can have a wish list of five things they want to achieve with a technology transformation, but if the culture isn’t ready for that, or if the CIO doesn’t match up with that culture, it’s going to be like an organ rejection. Culture is a big deal.Once a new CIO is in their role, what roles and skills do they have a hard time hiring for?In manufacturing, and cybersecurity ties into this too, the supply chain has had this convergence of operational technology. Tech you would see on the plant floor and information technology are coming together, and that has been happening for years.From a cyber standpoint, the supply chain is one of the most vulnerable areas out there nowadays because so much of that operational technology is older and so it’s big target for hackers. Having cybersecurity talent that can deal with that too and knows the ins and outs of that is a hard-to-find skill.What advice would you give to aspiring CIOs?I’d say learn and be well-rounded. In everything that you do, partner with the business to try to drive those real results. Don’t just focus on the technology, focus on the real results and solutions that you’re driving for the business.About the AuthorBen ColeSenior Executive Editor, InformationWeekBen Cole is a senior executive editor for InformationWeek.

WWW.NEWSCIENTIST.COMHow long is a day on Uranus? Slightly longer than we thought, it seemsUranus as seen by the Voyager 2 spacecraft in 1986NASA/JPL-Caltech A day on Uranus just got slightly longer, thanks to more accurate measurements of its rotation period that should help scientists plan missions to probe the gas giant. Figuring out the rotation period of the solar system’s giant planets is much harder than for the likes of Mars and Earth because ferocious wind storms make direct measurements impossible. Advertisement The first measurement of Uranus’s rotation came from the Voyager 2 probe, which made its closest approach on 24 January 1986. Researchers at the time determined that the planet’s magnetic field was offset by 59 degrees from celestial north, while its rotation axis was 98 degrees offset. These extreme offsets mean that Uranus effectively rotates “lying down” compared with Earth, while its magnetic poles trace a large circle as the planet rotates. By measuring both the planet’s magnetic field and radio emissions from aurora at its magnetic poles, researchers at the time found that Uranus was completing a full rotation every 17 hours, 14 minutes, 24 seconds, with a margin of error of plus or minus 36 seconds. Now, Laurent Lamy at the Paris Observatory in France and his colleagues have measured it to be 28 seconds longer. More importantly, their measurement is 1000 times more accurate, reducing the margin of error to a fraction of a second. Voyage across the galaxy and beyond with our space newsletter every month. Sign up to newsletter The researchers looked at images of Uranus’s ultraviolet aurora, taken between 2011 and 2022 by the Hubble Space Telescope, to track the long-term evolution of the planet’s magnetic poles as they circle the axis of rotation. The margin of error of the previous measurement meant it became impossible to accurately determine a position on Uranus more than a few years later, but the new measurement should remain valid for decades. That means it could be relied on to calculate mission-critical objectives such as where a probe might orbit and enter the planet’s atmosphere. Tim Bedding at the University of Sydney in Australia calls the team’s measurement technique “very clever”, but points out that the new duration of a day on Uranus isn’t that much different, being within the margin of error of the old calculation. “It’s not so much that it’s changed,” Bedding says. “It’s now accurate enough to be more useful.” Journal reference:Nature Astronomy DOI: 10.1038/s41550-025-02492-z Mysteries of the universe: Cheshire, England Spend a weekend with some of the brightest minds in science, as you explore the mysteries of the universe in an exciting programme that includes an excursion to see the iconic Lovell Telescope.

WWW.BUSINESSINSIDER.COMA PC maker just paused US sales of some of its laptops, saying Trump's tariffs would mean selling them at a lossFramework makes modular laptop computers that feature upgradable parts. Framework 2025-04-08T16:31:12Z Save Saved Read in app This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. Become an Insider and start reading now. Have an account? Framework has paused sales of some of its laptops in the US, citing Trump's 32% reciprocal tariff on Taiwan. Framework offers customizable, repairable laptops and devices. The company said at current prices, the tariffs would mean selling at a loss. Laptop maker Framework is pausing US sales on some of its lower-end models, citing Trump's tariffs.Framework, a San Francisco-based company known for its modular and upgradable laptops, announced on Tuesday that certain base systems in its Laptop 13 series would be removed from its US site and their sales temporarily halted."Due to the new tariffs that came into effect on April 5th, we're temporarily pausing US sales on a few base Framework Laptop 13 systems (Ultra 5 125H and Ryzen 5 7640U)," the company said on X. "For now, these models will be removed from our US site. We will continue to provide updates as we have them."In response to a user asking for more information, the company cited the 32% reciprocal tariff that Trump levied against Taiwan."We priced our laptops when tariffs on imports from Taiwan were 0%," the company said. "At a 10% tariff, we would have to sell the lowest-end SKUs at a loss. Other consumer goods makers have performed the same calculations and taken the same actions, though most have not been open about it."Framework isn't the first company to hit the pause button on some of its US sales while evaluating the potential ramifications of Trump's tariff blitz.Nintendo, which manufactures largely in China, Vietnam, and Cambodia, has pushed back US preorders of its highly anticipated Switch 2 to a yet undetermined date (though it says the game console will still launch on June 5). British automaker Jaguar Land Rover has stopped shipping its cars to the States, citing a new 25% tariff on imported automobiles.A Framework spokesperson told BI that no other information is available at this time, and that the company would provide updates as it received them.Framework brands itself around making electronics that are inherently customizable and repairable — it's on a mission to improve consumer electronics, which it describes as "broken.""Our philosophy is that by making well-considered design tradeoffs and trusting customers and repair shops with the access and information they need, we can make fantastic devices that are still easy to repair," the site reads.Its Laptop 16, for instance, allows for plenty of fiddling by the user — the keyboard, ports, and discrete GPU can all be swapped out, depending on user preference.

WWW.DAILYSTAR.CO.UK'Keychron's Q6 Max keyboard is big and beautiful – the best just keeps getting better'Looking for a full-sized keyboard that's as customisable as they come? Keychron's latest Q6 Max ticks those boxes, although it does lack portability as a resultTech16:00, 08 Apr 2025This article contains affiliate links, which means we will receive commission on any sale of products or services we write. Learn moreThe aluminium shell is durable, but heavy(Image: Keychron/Lloyd Coombes)If you’ve been reading my work here at Daily Star, you’ll know I’ve been writing about keyboards (specifically mechanical ones) for a little while now. They’ve become a bit of a hobby, and I’ve amassed a bit of a collection (more on that in the coming days).It’s actually Keychron that started me down this path, with the brand offering a whole heap of fantastic keyboards. Now, I own about half a dozen (just from Keychron), that I rotate between on any given day — but the new Q6 Max might be the one.It’s a big, full-sized board that maintains everything great about Keychron, while offering plenty of keys to tweak with the company’s Keychron Launcher software.There are so many keys here(Image: Keychron/Lloyd Coombes)I tend to operate solely on TKL boards (that’s Tenkeyless, or sans numpad) because I find very little reason to use it, but the Q6 Max has so many keys it would feel a shame to chop it down at all.The board is made from aluminium, and each key has a swappable switch that gets just the right amount of travel. The downside to this is that the Q6 Max, as the name suggests, isn’t the most portable keyboard around. It’s heavy, it’s long, and it doesn’t have any adjustable ‘feet’, making it less customisable than the company’s smaller, lighter boards with multiple typing angles.Keychron's Q6 Max is a beauty(Image: Keychron/Lloyd Coombes)And yet, I find that to be part of the charm. Each key feels so comfortable after a couple of years with boards like the Q1 Max and the Q1 HE that it’s easy to get typing up a storm, and I’ve even found myself using it for some games — although I still find myself going TKL for the majority of twitchier titles.There’s just about everything you could need, and then some. I use it primarily on macOS (there are Windows keys in the box, too), and having a single key for Spotlight and screenshots is a nice touch by default, while Keychron’s control knob still feels the best in the business to me.Keychron has a series of extra keys you can customise(Image: Keychron/Lloyd Coombes)Naturally, the default is only part of the experience, and Keychron’s own Launcher software is a great way to customise just about every aspect of the Q6 Max.Remapping keys is easy once you plug the board in, but the inclusion of the number pad, plus plenty of additional keys, means you can really get creative. Want a single button to act as a shortcut to turn your Mac to Dark Mode? Set up a single key to activate that keybind. It rewards those happy to get stuck in, and it’s easy to roll back anything that hasn’t worked how you expected it to.It’s also easy to switch between Mac and PC. As with other models, there’s a nifty switch on the back, while another one lets you swap between Bluetooth, the included dongle, and a wired connection.It’s about as fully-featured as you can get, and you can connect multiple Bluetooth devices and switch between them with ease.And, as is standard with Keychron, it’s easy to pop off the keys, take out the switches, and swap them for something else for new colours or feel.If you’re looking for a keyboard that isn’t going to move around with you, but offers best-in-class flexibility and key travel when you’re home, the Keychron Q6 Max is easy to recommend.It’s a premium product that’s ideal for work and play, and it’s easy to have fun tinkering with it — just don’t forget to get some actual work done, too.Article continues below* Keychron's Q6 Max keyboard is available to buy on Amazon for £239.99.0 Commentarii 0 Distribuiri 106 Views

METRO.CO.UKEx-PS5 boss calls Nintendo Switch 2 Direct underwhelming apart from one thingEx-PS5 boss calls Nintendo Switch 2 Direct underwhelming apart from one thing Michael Beckwith Published April 8, 2025 4:48pm Updated April 8, 2025 4:48pm Yoshida bumped up his rating purely for FromSoftware’s new game (Sony) While diehard Nintendo fans ate up the Switch 2 showcase, former PlayStation exec Shuhei Yoshida has proven harder to please. The first big Nintendo Direct for the Switch 2 left viewers feeling a whirlwind of emotions. It was exciting thanks to all the big game reveals, particularly for the likes of Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, but there was a downside too. Some announcements left people a little cold and the more exciting ones were undercut by the high prices of first party games, which weren’t shared until after the showcase had wrapped up. One person who definitely wasn’t impressed, by what Nintendo had to show, was former PlayStation Studios president Shuhei Yoshida, who has been sharing his thoughts on the showcase. Yoshida joined the team on the MinnMax YouTube channel and in a post-Direct chat, MinnMax founder Ben Hanson asked Yoshida how he would review it on a scale of one to 10. To Hanson’s surprise, Yoshida only scored it a six, before adding it went up to a seven once FromSoftware’s new game, The Duskbloods, made an appearance. When pressed for details, Yoshida admitted that he wanted to see more new games, instead of ‘mostly remakes and ports.’ Technically there weren’t any remakes, although a number of third party ports were announced – which most fans saw as a positive and which Nintendo highlighted in order to show the broad support for the format. Yoshida is likely also referring to the four Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games, which are upgraded versions of existing Switch 1 games. Switch 1 owners can upgrade certain games for a fee (Nintendo) It’s a fairly uncharitable take in our opinion, as while some beloved Nintendo IPs, like Splatoon and Animal Crossing, were absent, there were a healthy amount of new game reveals. Aside from Mario Kart, Donkey Kong, and The Duskbloods, the Direct also unveiled: Drag X Drive Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Imprisonment Survival Kids Enter The Gungeon 2 Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions Kirby Air Riders That’s also not including new remasters, like Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD or the director’s cut of Yakuza 0. And while there were a lot of ports, these are for games that had to skip the Switch 1, making this their Nintendo debut, which is a big and important deal for the Switch 2. More Trending That isn’t to say the showcase was flawless. Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour being a paid product is still baffling and Nintendo’s messaging on a number of details was very unclear, especially regarding prices – with many questions still outstanding almost a week later. Yoshida seemed most interested in The Duskbloods but he also said the Direct started off ‘really nice’, with the new camera accessory and GameChat feature that lets players share their screens with one another. He also complimented the look of Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour, which has gone down very poorly with most other observers. As a reminder, Yoshida retired from Sony in January and while he so far hasn’t announced any plans to seek new employment within the games industry, he has lent his voice to a character in upcoming indie game Promise Mascot Agency.
