The best gadget for people with insomnia. Xiaomi introduced a high-tech pillow that guarantees falling asleep in 1 second
Xiaomi, on its Youpin co-financing platform, today unveiled a high-tech device that will be appreciated by all people with sleep problems. The novelty is called succinctly: a pillow for fast falling asleep. This device differs from an ordinary pillow as much as a monkey differs from a person. And the point here is the so-called “black technologies”, which have nothing to do with black magic.
The principle of operation of the pillow can be described as follows. Inside there are special sensors in the amount of 56 pieces that capture the signals of human brain waves. The data is transmitted to the central processor, where it is analyzed using artificial intelligence algorithms. Then a coil comes into play, creating a magnetic field that is most favorable for the received brain waves. A delta wave (below 4 GHz) is generated at the same time. All of this combined causes drowsiness, even in people with persistent insomnia. Reportedly, the technology (it received the designation EEG AIR, which can be translated as “airborne encephalography”) was approved by the US Department of Health 12 years ago, but implemented in a consumer device for the first time.
This is what one of 56 sensors looks like.
However, EEG AIR is the main part of pillow innovations, but it is far from the only one. So, for example, it dynamically adjusts to the peculiarities of the anatomy of a particular person, is equipped with ultra-precise pressure sensors and, due to the same AI, can adjust height, volume, hardness in accordance with a person’s height, head weight and other parameters. This reduces the pressure on the intervertebral discs and reduces muscle fatigue. All in all, the Xiaomi Rapid Sleep Pillow ensures high quality sleep in every possible way.
Xiaomi would not be itself if it did not provide for the integration of the device with a smartphone. You can control the pillow functions and track sleep statistics using the proprietary Mijia application. The first participants in the collective funding program will receive a pillow for free, but the device will not be cheap at all in retail – $ 1,500.

Google has unveiled its new project called Imagen – an image generator based on a given text description.
According to the developers, the Imagen neural network outperforms DALL-E 2 from OpenAI, another AI-powered image generator. At the moment, Imagen is not available to the public, but the samples on display are impressive.
According to Google, the new text-to-image model is characterized by “an unprecedented degree of photorealism and a deep understanding of the language.”
Google provided images and samples of Imagen’s work, with styles ranging from simple drawings to oil paintings and computer graphics. They are accompanied by the words and phrases used in their creation.
After parsing the provided text description, Imagen generates a 64 x 64 pixel image, then performs two consecutive enhancements and converts the image to the larger 1024 x 1024 pixel size.
Microsoft has finally announced the imminent arrival of support for the app restore feature in the Microsoft Store in the Windows 11 operating system.
The software maker will soon begin testing a new feature that allows you to restore apps on a new Windows 11 PC. Currently, the Microsoft Store does not offer an automatic way to restore apps, instead forcing Windows users to manually install apps from the library.
Microsoft Store General Manager Giorgio Sardo said:
To make it easier for customers to migrate to new PCs quickly and seamlessly, we’ll soon be testing a new feature in the Windows Insider channel that will help customers automatically restore their previously installed apps from the Microsoft Store to a new Windows device.
Restoring applications will be especially useful for users who frequently change computers, or for developers who regularly use virtual machines and multiple devices. Previously, Windows users had to rely on third-party package managers to perform these kinds of tasks.
Microsoft made an interesting announcement during the Build 2022 developer conference regarding the Windows 11 operating system – the long-awaited support for widgets created by third-party developers will soon appear in it.
At launch, Windows 11 only supported Microsoft branded widgets and more support was expected, but the company has remained silent until now. Previously, there were only rumors about such a function, but now it is officially presented.
As Microsoft notes, third-party developers will be able to offer their own widgets to Windows 11 users until the end of 2022. Developers will be able to create widgets for Win32 and PWA applications using the Adaptive Cards framework.
Widgets are small windows that display dynamic information in a special panel on the Windows desktop. There are only 11 widgets currently available in Windows 11, including weather, sports, games, photos, watchlist, entertainment, traffic, tasks, Outlook calendar, family safety, and tips.
Motorola, now owned by the Chinese Lenovo, has already begun to hint at the imminent release of the flagship clamshell Razr 3. Meanwhile, interesting information about it continues to appear on the network.
This time, Evan Blass, a well-known network whistleblower with a long track record of confirmed leaks, shared the details. To be more precise, Bless even posted a short video showing a working copy of the Motorola Razr 3 on, open and closed.
As we can see in the video, the Motorola Razr 3 clamshell, codenamed Maven, has received a redesign both inside and out.
In the video, we see the Razr 3 with the internal display turned on and thin bezels. The hinge mechanism is similar to past Razr phones. At the same time, the selfie camera is now embedded in the screen, and not placed in the “bangs”. Outside, the camera moved from the center to the corner.
