Dyson created a toothbrush that "sees" where it needs to clean

SAPO Notícias5 September 2026 at 11:02

Dyson developed a new smart toothbrush called CameraJet™. This innovative device is capable of "seeing" where it needs to clean, using advanced camera technology and machine learning.

The CameraJet™ is equipped with a 100-megapixel camera that allows it to identify the spaces between teeth. Through machine learning algorithms, the device can detect areas that need greater attention during oral hygiene.

Dyson's technology directs an elixir jet specifically to the areas identified by the camera as needing cleaning. This allows for a more precise and targeted approach compared to traditional toothbrushes.

This innovation demonstrates Dyson's expansion beyond its traditional vacuum and air purification products, applying its expertise in engineering and sensor technology to the personal care segment.

It's probably the ugliest shirt in the world... but it can make you "invisible" to AI's eyes

Researchers have developed a shirt printed with specific patterns that, although considered visually unpleasant, manages to "fool" visual recognition artificial intelligence systems, making the person theoretically "invisible" to AI-equipped cameras. The trick doesn't involve magic or real invisibility, but rather the exploitation of vulnerabilities in computer vision algorithms, exploring how these neural networks process and interpret visual patterns in ways that differ from human perception.

C++ on macOS: how to compile native code and which language to choose

Developing in C++ on macOS is accessible thanks to Apple Clang and LLVM integration, allowing quick setup via Command Line Tools without needing the full Xcode. The environment offers native compilation for ARM64 and exclusive tools like xcrun, otool, and LLDB, although it presents differences compared to Linux, such as the Mach-O format and incompatibilities with specific GNU libraries. The article highlights that, despite Swift being the preferred language for new Apple applications, C++ remains essential for high-performance contexts and can interoperate with Swift, ensuring flexibility for developers.

Manufacturers warn: do not put hot food in the refrigerator and these are the reasons

Appliance manufacturers such as Bosch and LG warn that placing very hot food in the refrigerator can compromise the appliance's efficiency and food safety. When hot food is introduced, the interior temperature rises quickly, forcing the compressor to work longer to recover the cold, which increases energy consumption. Additionally, the steam and moisture released can cause condensation and ice formation. The recommendation is to let food cool briefly, divide it into small, shallow containers, and refrigerate it within a maximum of two hours to prevent the proliferation of microorganisms in the temperature danger zone.
