Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Insta360 is the major player in all-seeing 360-degree cameras and is no stranger to innovation, also incubating the first 360-degree drone in 2025, the Antigravity A1 . In another first, Insta360 recently released a dual-lens compact vlogging camera, the Luna Ultra , which is a Wall-E robot lookalike that shoots 8K video, with neat detachable remote screen and mic. And if a recent post on Weibo by its founder and CEO Liu Jingkang, aka 'JK', is to be taken at face value, the company wants to lead us into a new era of camera altogether. The Weibo post by JK was picked up by The New Camera and after translation reads: “Our product vision is to build a ‘Cameraman’ — an intelligent photography robot capable of automatically composing shots and capturing moments like a professional photographer, allowing users to remain fully immersed in the present. ...

Solving the energy conundrum is key to unlocking the UK’s AI economy

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Recent evidence shows that energy cost pressures and a power grid capacity crunch risk becoming a bottleneck on the growth of the UK’s digital economy.

This is driving many data center developers to explore alternative supply sources such as flexible contracts and Corporate Power Purchase Agreements (CPPAs) which offer affordable, secure long-term power. Yet many data center developers lack the resources to navigate these complex contracts or meet the high credit requirements. There ...

For many fans, this has been the most contentious World Cup in history for officiating — quite a claim given previous tournaments served up the 'Hand of God', David Beckham's red card against Argentina in 1998, and Frank Lampard's 'ghost goal' against Germany in 2010.
