Facebook 's Method to Combat Fake News
Facebook announced that accounts updating inaccurate news articles will not be able to advertise. The company is taking various measures to combat this after being criticized last year for aiding the spread of fake news. The advertising ban is in the same vein. TechCrunch reported that changing advertising policies could make it more difficult to attract customers. However, a Facebook official stated that the advertising ban is not a permanent measure and that accounts will be able to purchase ads again once they stop sharing inaccurate articles.

A goldfish caretaker who can clean the aquarium and look inside

Robots that clean glass in aquariums could become carpenter caretakers for goldfish. MOAI, a Silicon Valley Kickstarter project, is a self-moving robot unlike conventional algae removal devices. It differs from devices that cleaned the interior using magnets separated by glass. Users only need to set the internal cleaning schedule via an app. Additionally, a 1080p camera looks inside, allowing users to view the aquarium in real-time through the app. It is also possible to take photos or record. When the battery is low, MOAI automatically returns to the charging dock on the front of the aquarium.

Which kids are catching the eye at the IFA electronics exhibition?

What devices caught the eye at IFA 2017, Europe's largest electronics exhibition held in Berlin? Wired highlighted Sony's Google Assistant speaker, LG's V30, Beoplay's E8 wireless earphones, Lenovo's upgraded Yoga laptop, SanDisk's 400GB microSD card, Logitech's keyboard wheel, and Samsung's Gear Sport. In particular, Logitech's keyboard garnered attention for featuring a wheel capable of clicking, touching, and rotating, designed for graphic designers and video editors. It recognizes Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, etc., and automatically recognizes and responds to other programs as well.

Rice- grain-sized RFID chips improve drone inventory management efficiency
MIT found a way to effectively manage inventory by using RFID technology to reduce the weight of drones and increase accuracy. When managing existing items, the direction of the drone was important because barcodes required reading signals.
RFID operates like a WiFi repeater regardless of direction. It is about the size of a grain of rice, so it does not significantly affect the drone's volume. The drone flies around and reads each tag multiple times. It can determine the movement and location of surrounding objects without attaching a physical reader. Location accuracy is achieved by attaching RFID tags to exchange location data. The Verge reported that drones are expected to be of great help, particularly by allowing easy access to high places that would otherwise require a lift to reach, and by facilitating repetitive tasks.
