Table of Contents Table of Contents Why does it matter?  The path ahead is ready  It’s roughly been a year since Google launched its new Find My Device network, fortifying it with security features such as encrypted location sharing, unknown tracker alerts, and more. But so far, it has missed out on a notable feature that enables precise object tracking within Apple’s rival Find My network.  That is about to change soon, it seems. Talking to The Verge, Google’s Angela Hsiao hinted that the company will soon make an announcement regarding UWB integration within the Find My Device ecosystem.  Recommended Videos “For what it’s worth, Hsiao told me that Google will have more to share on that “very soon,”’ the Google executive was quoted as saying. Now, this won’t be the first time that we’ve seen evidence of Google prepping UWB support, but it’s reassuring to hear from an executive, nonetheless.  Related Apple UWB, short for Ultra Wideband chip, is a location and proximity detection method that relies on pulse-based transmission in a wide frequency range. Technically, it is a short-range wireless communication protocol, and thanks to its unique signal transmission-reception pathway, it enables precise location sensing within a centimeter range. Simply put, it is much better than Bluetooth-based tracking. UWB chips are also fairly energy efficient and work well indoors. Starting with the iPhone 11 series, Apple has offered a UWB chip as a default perk on all of its mainline smartphones and the AirTag object tracker. Thanks to UWB, Apple developed a new feature called Find Nearby in its Find My system, which makes it easier to find lost objects. When you are looking for a misplaced item in your vicinity, the UWB signals allow your iPhone to not only estimate the distance accurately, but also show you direction cues on the screen.  Apple Starting with the iPhone 15, which introduced a next-gen UWB chip, Apple began offering a Precision Finding feature that can guide people using directional cues to find their friends, as well. It looks like Android, and the connected Google ecosystem woven around it, will finally tap into the benefits of UWB finding later this year.  Midway through 2024, code sleuths discovered the mention of UWB at the heart of Google’s Find My Device app. More references about how it will enable directional cues for object tracking popped up a few months later in the app’s codebase.  Earlier this month, the folks over at Android Authority found more details about the UWB-powered precision finding system in Google’s tracking app. Google also has detailed documentation on Ultra-wideband (UWB) communication live on its Android developers resource hub, which is a clear sign of things to come. Joe Maring / Digital Trends But UWB is a two-way path, which means you need the chip fitted inside object trackers like the Moto Tag and smartphones, too. Not all phones come fitted with one. Even Google’s mainline Pixel 9 misses out on it.  That situation will also change later this year, at least for flagship phones. Qualcomm’s top-end Snapdragon 8 Elite SoC relies on the FastConnect 7900 modem, which combines the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and UWB  hardware into a single package.  Smartphone manufacturers no longer have to spend extra on a dedicated UWB chip. However, it’s up to them whether they want to enable UWB functionality on their Snapdragon 8 Elite-powered devices.  Google’s big I/O developers conference is right around the corner. We expect the company to shed more light on its future plans for Find My Device and any potential UWB upgrades for it in the coming days.  Editors’ Recommendations

Have an account? I often think of the women in my family since we all shared similar names. I'm 40 and probably won't have kids, so my family lineage ends with me. I wonder what my ancestors would think of the life I chose. Going back at least five generations, I am the end of a line of women whose names I carry.Some of these women, mostly Anna's and Maria's, Maria Graziana, Anna Marie, and Anna Margaret further up the tree, are no more than branches to me, settling in Brooklyn in the early 1800s from Ireland or far more recently from Italy. My mother and her mother, Anna, and Maria, are the women who raised me and who I think of when I sign a document or order a coffee.However, they all cross my mind, these women confined to lives that might not have kept them comfortable or safe, living in times when they had no choices and focused on survival. Their history has boiled down to Census Bureau data and ship manifests. Since I'm now 40 and unlikely to have children, that lineage disappears with me. I've spent a lot of time thinking about the expectations these women would have for me with all of my life choices.I'm tired and don't want to hustleGrowing up, I heard the stories of my mother hiding me in the service truck when she couldn't afford day care at her phone company job. She believed that her hard work and sacrifice would give me a life she didn't have. She brought me to diction classes to take my New York accent away. We made up stories about me working in an office across the river in Manhattan and, one day, having my own home. Every opportunity would be available to me. She was right; they have been, and I've grasped them all. Any time an opportunity presents itself, I've jumped on it. I've traveled across six continents, held dream jobs, and met celebrities, politicians, and royalty. I own my own house, where I proudly display a black-and-white photo of my maternal family, a reminder of who I have to thank for everything.But I have an overwhelming secret: I am tired deep in my bones, and I don't want to hustle anymore. I'd love the simple life my ancestors hadNow, I yearn for the Neapolitan castle towns and Irish fields my ancestors had. I flip through Instagram cheap home accounts, dreaming of fixer-uppers in Abruzzo, of eating fragrant tomatoes off the vine, and gossiping with neighbors in communal gardens. I'd love a simple life. I'd love to find a slower treadmill. I crave time to absorb art and literature, see beauty with my own eyes, and meet new people. I want to be able to name every star in the sky. But if I stop climbing and achieving accolades, am I letting them down?There's lots of science behind the psychology of big expectations. It's very common to feel the bruising weight of family traditions picking our paths in life. And when those relatives are deceased, there's the added emotion of wondering if you've done everything you could with the time you have been given. We all want the people we love to be proud of us.A 2007 analysis of research by scientists Todd Rogers and Katy Milkman brings this emotion into perspective with an everyday choice. Think about the mundane task of walking through the grocery store. You may aim to eat healthier, but you pass right by the apples and instead decide to treat yourself with a chocolate bar. Rogers and Milkman call that moment of consideration the should-self vs. the want-self, what should I do versus what do I actually want to do, and you can find this psychological phenomenon far beyond the supermarket.In the chocolate bar example, instant gratification is the basic premise behind the want-self. What will make you happy right now? That feeling battles the should-self, which aims for choices we believe will have a greater future outcome. The should-self creates a mental list of long-term benefits that will provide for a better future. In Psychology Today, psychotherapist and author Nancy Colier takes this a step further, drawing a correlation between wanting to be seen as a conscientious, good person who is motivated to create a better future or being seen as someone who takes what they want now. The problem here is that a list of "shoulds" can be subjective. These "shoulds" could come from a cultural standard, like thinking we need a specific title at work or thinking we need to look one way when our body is built another way. It can even come from family traditions that are long outdated from being beneficial to anyone.I'm focusing on what I wantMany moments of my happy, privileged life beg the question, "Am I doing enough?" Am I maximizing every opportunity presented to me? Have I scaled to the highest rung of the career ladder and become perfect in my social life? What do my ancestors think about what I've done with the freedom allotted to me?But recently, and with a lot of reading and research, I'm flipping this story on its head. No more "shoulds" that make me tired and sick; I'm inviting in more "wants." Isn't part of having a choice accepting what I really want to do? Being my best self is not strictly adhering to what I believe I should do to make others happy but understanding how to be happiest in the time allotted to me. And hopefully, that is exactly what would make the Anna's and Maria's proud, too. Recommended video

Shenzhen Shekou School Renovation / YUARCHITECTSSave this picture!© YUARCHITECTSSchools, Renovation•Shenzhen, China Architects: YUARCHITECTS Area Area of this architecture project Area:  35000 m² Year Completion year of this architecture project Year:  2024 Photographs Photographs:YUARCHITECTS, Bizheng Luo Manufacturers Brands with products used in this architecture project Manufacturers:  Foshan Lighting, Jin Aluminum, Nippon Paint Lead Architect: Dao Yu More SpecsLess Specs Save this picture! Text description provided by the architects. Shekou Primary School was established in 1945 which provided basic education for fishermen's children at that time. Shekou Middle School, as its counterpart, was founded adjacent in 1970, divided by a mere wall with Shekou Primary School for decades. In 2003 the two institutions merged under the name of Shekou School. In late 2022, as the Shekou School was added to the final list of the "Hundred Schools Renewal" plan in Shenzhen, it triggers a chance of this renovation project.Current Conditions & StrategiesDecades of fragmented renovations had resulted in ambiguous spatial relationships between buildings and their surrounding external space. As the total construction time is restricted within 2 summer vacation periods, the core issue of renovation focuses mainly on two aspects: resolving essential functional needs and redefining a more appropriate relationship between buildings and external spaces. Meanwhile, each new gesture was conceived not as an erasure of the existence, but as a dialogue with the site's embedded texture, allowing old and new to coexist and creating a new identity of the campus.Save this picture!Save this picture!First Courtyard "Vestibule": Flow & GatheringShekou School sits at the topographical high point of the district. The first open space after entering from the south gate is an irregular outdoor area which lack of basic spatial enclosure. This transitional zone harbored three fragmented parts: a provisional dining area at the far west end, a simple school gate on the south side, and an abandoned triangular corner at the east end. Next to this triangular corner was the existing kitchen and logistics entrance, which locates far from the western dining area creating a functional problem.Save this picture!Save this picture!This irregular space after entering the south gate could be interpreted as an oversized "vestibule", the core strategy is to create a spatial hierarchy reorganizing the pedestrian flow and gathering. We conceived a covered pathway system tracing the serpentine contours of the "vestibule"，integrating three parts as a whole: the expanded dining space on the west side, the new gate on the south side, and the newly added dining space in the triangle corner on the east side. The continuous covered pathway engages in a symbiotic interface with the mature trees along the campus boundary, bringing a sense of enclosure to the vestibule.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!After the renovation, the new school gate grew out from the original terrain visually, emphasizing the solidity of the volume. The duality of the gate interface allows different gesture: on the urban side as a large-span cave, while on the campus side as colonnaded facade. The column positions aligns with the paving grid of the square's original stonework, and the "absence" of the 6cm high column base at the bottom  articulates a dialogue between old and new, bringing a sense of sculptural quality to the new gate.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The covered pathway transforms into several dining platforms following the natural slope in the triangle aera, formulating different courtyards with appropriate scales, creating a comfortable dining environment.  The angular contours of these platforms adapt to the site's triangular geometry and existing trees precisely, simultaneously inspiring a dynamic umbrella-like framework geometry for the overhead steel canopy structure. Within the compact triangular site, the green color of the platform allows an intimate relationship with the existing trees and the aluminum panel with vertical texture also responds to the subtle scale of the landscape, creating a distinctive spatial atmosphere and formulating a more positive interface to the street.Save this picture!Save this picture!Second Courtyard "Atrium": Volume and SurfaceThe second courtyard enclosed by several buildings is a regular square where the activities of students are relatively concentrated, like a large atrium. We improved the quality of this external space mainly by dealing with the initial negative vertical interface: We complete the fragmented volume of the building and transform the initial window-wall system facade into a column-and-slab motif merely by painting, which gives the building a relative open gesture towards the public playground. Meanwhile, the formerly protruding central curtain wall was removed and reversed as a semi-outdoor "performance platform", creating an intimate viewing dynamic with the children's energetic activities.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Third Courtyard "Living Room": Resonance with LandscapeThe third courtyard in Shekou school is the most public space — the sports field. It functions as an outdoor living room gathering the entire school community. Instead of a clear distinction between buildings and landscape, we conceive buildings and existing trees as a symphonic interface. The north facade of the Art Building performs as a visual anchor point of the "outdoor living room" along its long axis. After completing the building's volume, the white loggia facade formulates a formal face towards the outdoor open space and acts simultaneously as a quiet background nestled among the trees.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!For the west building clusters nestled within tree canopies, we implemented a forest-green steel grating system across their facades and rooftops, covering AC units on the facade and defining an ark-like layer on the top of the building sheltering a public platform. The porous steel screens create a dynamic veil that filters sunlight into ever-shifting patterns of shadow and luminance as an organic dialogue resonating with the surrounding landscape. In the garden between the building cluster, a small garden bridge as a twin counterpart of the Big Ark echoes an analogous architectural language, forming a three-dimensional interplay, creating an immersive spatial experience.

Scientists have long known that Saturn's largest moon, Titan, hosts rivers and seas of liquid methane. But it's strangely lacking in river deltas, a new study suggests.
