Insta360 launches new action camera with removable storage

engadget.com Unknown 2025-11-05 12:00:19

Chinese action camera (and now drone) company Insta360 has unveiled a premium addition to its lineup of compact cameras. The Insta360 GO Ultra is being billed as a new, more powerful product line in the GO series, instead of a replacement for the GO 3S. This next generation represents a substantial step up in performance, powered by a new 5nm AI chip, which is a big jump from the 14nm chip found on the GO 3S. It also benefits from a larger 1/1.28-inch sensor, roughly twice the size of the one i

D4d4

A co-worker of mine was looking at some disassembled ARM code the other day, and discovered something weird. Lots of d4d4 instructions, scattered about. LLVM’s objdump says this is a relative branch to -0x58 . The weird part is that they were always unreachable.

AWS in 2025: Stuff you think you know that's now wrong

Staff disquiet as Alan Turing Institute faces identity crisis

When the UK government announced the creation of the Alan Turing Institute in 2014 it promised a “fitting memorial” to the renowned computer scientist and artificial intelligence pioneer. More than a decade on, Britain’s leading AI institute is in turmoil as staff warn it may be in danger of collapse and ministers demand a shift in focus to defence and security work. “The ATI brand is well recognised internationally,” says Dame Wendy Hall, a professor of computer science at the University of S

In July 2025, X downloads on Google Play saw a significant decline, as new installs dropped by 44% year-over-year worldwide, even as iOS downloads grew by 15%. This steep drop in installs is pulling down X’s overall average, leading to a 26% decrease in total mobile downloads year-over-year as of July. That’s still slightl

DJI Osmo 360 Review: A Strong Start

Despite being DJI’s first entry to the 360 camera market, the Osmo 360 feels like the kind of debut you’d only get from a company that has spent a long time perfecting its craft elsewhere. DJI’s drones and action cameras have been impressing me for years, and its claims about the Osmo 360’s capabilities were bold, so I had high expectations. After two weeks of using the Osmo 360 in all sorts of conditions—sun, wind, low light, and on the edge of a downpour—it’s clear this is a serious challenge

The “Godfather of AI” Has a Bizarre Plan to Save Humanity From Evil AI

Geoffrey Hinton, the pioneering mind behind AI industry-transforming neural networks, who's often referred to as a "godfather of AI," says we need to infuse AI with "maternal instincts" to save humanity from rogue AI. Though his work on neural networks helped to usher in the large language models (LLMs) that dominate Silicon Valley today, these days, Hinton is known for being somewhat of an AI alarmist: he believes that there's a significant chance that superintelligent AI will wipe out humanki
