Japan’s robotics plan aims to put 10 million robots to work by 2040

Japan wants 10 million robots operating across the country within the next 15 years. The government unveiled an updated plan that expands its robotics push to cover 18 industries, including food production and healthcare. The strategy relies heavily on a homegrown AI system called Noetra. A group of major Japanese firms, including SoftBank, Sony and Honda, already own a stake in the project. Two other tech companies, Fujitsu and Rakuten, are still deciding whether to join. The country has a rapidly ageing population and strict rules on immigration. This combination has left many businesses short-staffed. Factory floors, nursing homes and even disaster sites have been testing robots for years, and officials believe the time is right to scale up. The Japanese government says it will set up a new centre to help companies bring in robots more quickly. The centre will also handle research and training for workers who will use the technology. Japan is not going at it alo...

New launcher brings retro Nintendo DS design to Android

A developer known as Mr. Rubik on YouTube is working on a new app that gives Android phones a major retro makeover. The app is a launcher, which means it changes the entire look and feel of your device’s home screen and UI. And in this case, it makes everything look like a Nintendo DS or DSi. A video preview posted by the creator shows the design in action. It copies the old console’s style very closely, right down to the on-screen clock and the text style. The result is a home screen that feels very familiar to anyone who owned the original gaming device. The upcoming Nintendo DS launcher for Android will not just sit there looking like the home screen. It can also show all the apps you have installed in the DS-style layout. It also pulls in your game collection, including ROMs for DS, DSi, and Game Boy Advance titles. You can change how icons look, and the app also works with notification badges and third-party icon packs. 10 best-selling gaming consol...

Filipinos among Asia’s most confident online, but also most at risk

Filipinos feel very secure when using the internet, but a recent report suggests their actions do not back up that belief. A new study from company Bolttech looked at online habits across 11 countries in Asia-Pacific. The findings show that while people in the Philippines rank among the most confident in the region, many still engage in behaviors that put them at risk. The survey found that 96 out of every 100 Filipinos think their online habits are good or excellent. But when researchers looked closer, only about half, or 48%, actually follow basic safety rules like using strong and unique passwords. This gap between what people believe and what they do is bigger in the Philippines than in most other markets surveyed. 6 password managers to secure your online accounts Most common passwords in the Philippines The study also showed that Filipinos run into more online dangers than the regional average. 9 out of 10 said they have seen a scam attempt at some point...
