Alongside non-perishable food and water, changes of clothes, and medication, an important part of most Houstonians’ hurricane season emergency kits these days are battery banks and other power supplies. The Houston Chronicle’s Dwight Silverman wrote about some options available in his column over the weekend.
In the audio above, Houston Matters host Craig Cohen talks with Silverman about power banks, power stations, and uninterruptable power supplies.
Craig and Dwight also discuss some recent AI news, including Apple’s generative AI efforts, Microsoft’s AI PCs, and why Microsoft’s AI-powered feature Recall (which takes screenshots of users’ activity every few seconds) was, ironically, recalled. And the pair talk about chipmaker Nvidia briefly last week becoming the largest publicly traded tech company, surpassing both Microsoft and Apple… only for the company to see its stock value drop 7% late in the week.
What Are Power Banks?
Power banks are portable devices that store electrical energy to charge your gadgets on the go. They are essential during power outages, especially during hurricane season.
Why Did Nvidia’s Stock Drop?
Nvidia’s stock saw a significant drop after briefly becoming the largest publicly traded tech company. This fluctuation can be attributed to market dynamics and investor reactions.
What’s New in AI?
Apple and Microsoft are making strides in AI technology. Apple’s generative AI and Microsoft’s AI PCs are at the forefront, although some features like Microsoft’s Recall have faced challenges.
