3D home in 24 hours?

/in , /by
A San Francisco based startup called Apis Cor have built a whole house (from scratch), with 3D printing in a Russian town in 24 hours.

They used a mobile 3D printer to print the concrete walls, partitions and all the important stuff while workers had to manually paint it and install roofing materials and things like thermal insulation which took no time at all.

It’s a 400 square foot tiny home which is around the size of a standard hotel room in comparison. According to Apis Cor the whole house cost $10,134 to make with the largest cost coming from doors and windows, but the price doesn’t include the cost of the land.

If Apis Cor does choose to start 3D printing homes, potential buyers can choose whatever size and shape they want, it doesn’t have to be this small.

NHS uses UBER!

/in , /by

Healthcare startup Cera, is teaming up with Uber to deliver patient care on the NHS’ behalf.

Launched in November this matchup will allow carers in the UK to get to the people who need them the most a lot easier. Cera announced recently a partnership with Barts Health NHS Trust. This company runs Mile End Hospital and Newham University Hospital amongst others. They will help not only carers to make their usual house visits, but also patients as they attend hospital appointments. By using this service the theory is that it will improve patient care and free up hospital beds.

Cera is also helping people remain independent by hailing an UberAssist, it will help with walkers and scooters, or an UberWAV a fully wheelchair accessible vehicle.

Uber is working Cera and not the NHS.

Moon Delivery

/in , /by

Jeff Bezos’ (Amazon Boss) Blue Origin (Amazon’s Spaceflight company) plan to develop a spacecraft called Blue Moon, to launch an Amazon like service to deliver the equipment needed to establish human settlements on the moon by the mid 2020’s, with the craft apparently carrying up to 10,000lbs of cargo.

Blue Origin has experience launching its own “New Shepard” rockets into space, the Blue Moon is apparently similar and will launch vertically and land on the moon’s south pole, as it has continuous sunlight which the spacecraft’s solar panels will utilise, this side of the moon is also rich in water, which the Blue Moon would transform into rocket fuel.

Bezos hopes the mission will launch in 2020, but only with the help of NASA.

Can you hear me scam!

/in /by

A scam is said to be on it’s way to the UK after hitting many innocent people in the US, If someone calls you and asks, “Can you hear me?”, hang up the phone as they are trying to record you saying “YES” to try and authorise payment to your credit card.

This is what happens:

You get a phone call from a local number
The person introduces themselves and who they apparently work for and then they ask you if you can hear them.
You’re being recorded, as you say “yes” to them, they edit the rest and use your “yes” to make it seem as though you have agreed to a purchase.

Voice signatures are a way to ensure secure access to your bank, or services but this voice recognition technique is being exploited by hackers.

Inform your bank immediately if you feel you have been affected!
