EraTech EMP-ZII MP3 Player Review

Add as a preferred source on Google

Quote from the review:

“The headset acts as necklace. The audio cable itself is the necklace. I reviewed other necklace style headsets that had a separate string which looks not as nice as this one. There is also a rubber neck piece to keep the cable in place and make it comfortable to wear. The necklace can also be adjusted in length with the rubber piece. The Eratech or Beatsounds Player is designed to be comfortable wearable all the time and be more seen as a fashion accessory or jewelry piece.  
 
Besides its looks and size the color screen enhances the EMP-Z2 quite a bit. Below are several photos of screens from the user interface, which uses fun 3d icons. The player features a built-in Li-Ion battery that provides 10 hours of play time. The battery recharges via USB. The USB cable plugs in instead of the headset cable. It plays only MP3 files. No other formats are supported. This is limitation that comes with the small size I assume. The frequency range is 20-20,000hz and output is 6mW. The player can come either with 128MB or 256MB. ”

Sony has shrunk its glasses-free 3D technology into a tiny screen, and it can bring anime characters to life on your desk
It's almost like having a digital, three-dimensional companion on your desk.
Sony's smaller 3D display for desk

Glasses-free 3D has always felt like a luxury I could admire from afar. Those screens were built for design studios, not smaller desks like mine. But Sony’s new version is small enough to sit beside my keyboard, and I’m genuinely excited.

The company has unveiled the ELF-MN1, a 6-inch display that makes 3D characters and avatars look like they’re coming out of the screen without any special glasses or a headset. It plugs into a phone or PC with one USB-C cable, and that’s pretty much it (via Sony).

3D-printed ghost guns are a notorious blind spot. Scientists may have finally cracked the traceability problem
The plastic used to make these weapons could hold clues that conventional forensic methods often miss.
3D printed Gun replica

Most conventional firearms come with serial numbers and leave unique microscopic markings on bullets and cartridge cases when fired. Investigators can use these clues to trace weapons or connect them to crimes. However, 3D-printed firearms, commonly called ghost guns, present a different challenge. They can be manufactured without serial numbers, and their unconventional construction can make traditional forensic analysis more difficult.

Now, researchers in Australia may have found another way to trace these weapons, using clues hidden in the plastic they're made from.
