Synaptics just improved its AI platform by adding new smart microcontrollers called the SR-Series. These tiny brain chips work at three different power levels: super-fast processing, balanced efficiency, and barely-any-battery always-on mode. They use cutting-edge Arm technology under the hood, including the Cortex-M55 brain and Ethos-U55 neural processor. Developers can start working right away with the Machina Micro kit and free software tools.
These microcontrollers handle many tasks at once—they can see, hear, and understand voice commands for smart home gadgets, store equipment, and factory machines. They pack everything needed into a tiny package with camera hookups and other connections, helping make devices cheaper, smaller...

Taiwan company Compal Electronics won an iF Design Award 2025 for its cool "Infinite Laptop" idea. This laptop does something amazing—the screen grows sideways from a regular 14-inch display into a super-wide 18-inch workspace. Lenovo recently showed off laptops that expand upward, but Compal decided people need more screen space from left to right. This design helps anyone who works with multiple programs at once or creates digital content.
The design seems to use fancy rollable OLED screen technology. The display pulls out from both edges of the base unit, keeping the middle part right above your keyboard where you expect it. Award papers mention the design tries to balance being easy to carry around with giving you plenty of screen...

Nairobi County asked people to share their thoughts about plans for the Nairobi River area. They marked the entire stretch of water from Naivasha Road to Ruai as a special land. Anyone can tell officials their ideas during the next fourteen days. The county made this decision after talking with national housing experts.

They created rules about how close buildings can stand next to the river. Each side must have 30 meters left natural right beside the water. Another 30 meters...
New Kenya Football Federation leader Mohammed Hussein asked people to be patient after Bennie McCarthy became head coach of the national team. Kenyans should try to wait, but anyone would feel excited about such an important African coach joining their team. McCarthy brings an amazing record as a player who understands every level of football development. During his legendary career there, he won the UEFA Champions League with F.C. Porto.
His coaching career remains short but successful, with only one rough patch when he started at Cape Town City in 2019. After that small bump, McCarthy led AmaZulu FC to their best season ever, finishing second place in 2020-2021. Then he helped them qualify for CAF Champions League Group Stages...

Chege Kirundi stepped up as KTDA National Chairman with fresh ideas for smaller tea farmers across Kenya. Last weekend, he met with over 160 directors from regions west of the Rift Valley during a Nakuru gathering. He shared his vision for changing how the tea business works by focusing on what farmers need most. His approach centers around making farmers the priority instead of treating them as just suppliers.
Kirundi believes farmers should make more money from their tea-growing efforts. The market has changed dramatically since KTDA first started in 1964 as a government body before becoming private around 2000. The old ways just don't work anymore for today's farmers facing modern challenges. KTDA must change fast to keep up with...
