T3 January 2023

BHOUT Boxing is great for your health (although being boxed, not so much). But while training by hammering cow carcasses has a certain old school charm, it does feel like the humble punching bag is due a high-tech upgrade. This is where Bhout enters the ring. Billed as ‘the first bag with a brain’, it’s crammed with AI smarts to help you train. Its camera identifies every blow you land, whether it’s a punch, kick, elbow or knee, while in-built sensors measure the force of your blows. And Bhout will use this data to allow you to compete with friends and family in leaderboards, as well as tracking your physical fitness level and gamifying your progress with its $JAB token. Had enough MMA or muay Thai for one day? Then flip…

Happy new year! Or to those of you reading this before January: so-so, same old year. With 2023 just cresting over the horizon, it’s time to gaze into that black mirror and ask how tech can help us be better. Come 1 January, I’m usually filled with the spirit of self-improvement. I commit to writing 1,000 words of a novel per day, beating my personal best of 0 words per year. I swear off social media and claim I’ll stop mining Twitter’s underbelly like Tony Robinson excavating a Saxon cesspit. And I promise this year I’ll spend less than 98% of my time listening to productivity podcasts while using blank manuscript pages to create a deranged spider map of Laurence Fox tweets. Assuming you have new year’s resolutions you actually intend to…

1 MICROSOFT SURFACE PRO 9 From £1,099, microsoft.com The Surface’s meteoric rise may have passed you by, but it has absolutely happened. The more powerful end of the line now presents one of the most viable Mac alternatives for professionals that need known hardware running Windows. The lowest end offers smart, decent machines perfect for students. And as of now, the Surface Pro 9 is (with an asterisk) the most powerful Windows tablet you can buy. Microsoft’s hardware division is on an absolute tear. There’s a lot here in what Microsoft calls a 2-in-1 laptop (it’s a tablet with a keyboard case) that owes Apple at least a small debt. However, while the Cupertino crew might sell the iPad Pro as a proper computer, it’s not quite – and the Surface Pro 9…
