NHJ Wrist TV VTV-101 Review

By Ian Bell Published May 13, 2004

Quote from the review:

“The Wearable Color TV VTV-101 we received from NHJ USA has sample stickers on it, indicating that it is not necessarily the final shipping product. The box contains the main small TV unit, antenna earphone, wrist band, external battery-pack, AC power adaptor and neck strap.

The TV unit itself measures 48x48x18mm and weighs 50g (my measurements), making it the smallest TV I have ever seen. The TV display itself measures 1.5″ diagonal. Above the TV display is a digital Time indicator. NHJ did a great job to make the wearable TV versatile to use. I can either snap the TV unit on the wrist strap to wear it as a Wrist Watch, attach the neck strap to wear it or clip it onto the external battery unit to get extended power. The external battery-pack functions also as the charging station for the VTV-101.

Because the TV unit is very light, wearing it at the wrist is quite comfortable. With 18mm height the Watch is definitely bulky, but acceptable. The wrist band is a free adjustable Velcro band. ”

Hyundai isn’t giving up on hydrogen cars, but don’t expect one in your driveway anytime soon

Hydrogen gets a maybe; hybrids get a warning.

Hyundai Ioniq 3 EV

Hydrogen cars have spent years in the same waiting room as flying taxis. They’re always almost here, but no commercially available product exists for interested buyers. So when a Hyundai manager pushed back on the obituary, I was immediately curious.

To be clear, Hyundai hasn’t announced a new car. The big news here is that its Australian arm says hydrogen is “not dead” for passenger cars. Apparently, the automaker is still evaluating a next-generation hydrogen fuel-cell car if it can find buyers (via CarExpert).

AI doesn’t have to turn evil to put you at risk

An AI assistant that agrees with everything you say might feel like the perfect companion — until you need someone to tell you you’re wrong. That’s one of the more immediate dangers behind the idea of AI “going rogue.” A chatbot can cause harm without developing intentions of its own. It can reinforce a false belief, encourage an unhealthy attachment, or follow instructions planted by someone trying to hijack it.

On October 15, AI safety company Alice announced new software to address those everyday risks. Working separately with Inflection AI and AI21, the company says it helped train NVIDIA’s Nemotron models to resist harmful conversational behavior and malicious instructions while preserving their usefulness.

Elon Musk has revealed ambitious plans for Neuralink, and they go beyond controlling computers with your thoughts. The company is developing two brain implants, Telepathy and Blindsight, aimed at helping people with paralysis and severe vision loss. Musk also believes future advances could help people regain control of their hands and legs by reconnecting the brain with their limbs.
