And it's a looker
In true tech fashion, Samsung unveiled its latest line-up of MicroLED, QLED 8K, and Lifestyle TVs at CES 2020. Considering new display sizes, upscaled 8K AI capabilities, and innovative display orientations, it's no surprise Samsung is releasing fresh upgraded units.
Samsung Q950TS QLED 8K TV
Samsung's got a new flagship TV, and it's the Q950TS QLED 8K TV. It's the model ahead of its time. It's an 8K TV that combines a striking, ultra-thin form factor, butter-smooth premium picture quality, and crisp surround-sound audio. On top of that, the Q950TS introduces the Infinity Screen which makes for a stunning viewing experience.
Infinity-what-now? This TV is near bezel-less. Somehow, Samsung was able to create a TV that has a screen-to-body ratio of 99 percent. If you're viewing this from the average distance of ten to fifteen feet, it will look like the TV is floating. 🤯
If you're wondering what's snuggle in this slim and slick design, it's got the AI Quantum Processor 8K. That's what gives the Q950TS the capacity to automatically upscale non-8K content to pristine and true-to-life 8K resolution.
On top of the already drop-dead gorgeous picture quality is the QLED 8K's premium sound features: Q-Symphony, Object Tracking Sound+ (OTS+), and Active Voice Amplifier. These integrated features optimizes immersive sound by delivering dynamic audio that smoothly syncs with whatever is displayed on the large screen. Samsung boasts that their TVs to be perfectly paired with their CTA award-winning HQ-Q800T soundbar.
More virtual assistants
The previous iteration of this TV only had Bixby for an assistant. That's not the case anymore as Amazon's Alexa and Google Assistant now comes with the Q950 line. Yes, line.
Samsung's 8K QLED line-up comes in three sizes: 65″, 75″, and 85″. Pricing and availability have yet to be announced as of writing.

Sex tech is for everyone, not just for men
CES 2020 encourages sex positivity
MJ Jucutan
Startup Lora DiCarlo graced the headlines last year for having its award revoked by the committee behind the Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The startup believes it was unjust and fought for its right to be part of the annual show.
This year, Lora DiCarlo is the talk of the town once again, not because of an issue, but for being in the spotlight of CES 2020. Lora DiCarlo paved the way for sex tech to be out in the open, particularly companies with devices geared for women's sex, health, and wellness.
Sex tech isn't new, but sex being taboo in this modern yet surprisingly conservative society took the spotlight away from their devices. In case you're wondering, sex technology mostly ventures on innovations to enhance our sexuality and sexual experience.
In 2017, men enjoyed VR porn as if it was that revolutionary, while sex toys and vibrators that offer solutions to enhance our experiences and relationships aren't getting the splash they deserve. Thankfully, CES 2020 is taking a step forward in ending sexism and encourage sex-positivity. After all, sex is part of human nature.
Ever since Lora Haddock DiCarlo — the founder of Lora DiCarlo — fought for their right to be at CES, I was astounded and followed her journey. I'm all ears for women speaking up, especially with the goal of making a change in our society.
Lora DiCarlo's Osé won an innovative award and was later revoked by CES. Eventually, Lora DiCarlo got the award reinstated while fighting for sex tech to be recognized in a separate category.
Now that DiCarlo and her company sparked a controversy, sex tech are now in the spotlight of the annual show held at Las Vegas. DiCarlo didn't expect herself to be at the forefront of change, but it elevated her profile and grew her business.
Pleasure is at the forefront
At CES 2020, Lora DiCarlo showcased their first device once again — the Osé — is a personal massager which produces blended orgasm by mimicking movements of a human partner. It's that revolutionary, hence, gaining an innovation award. I mean, just imagine a device pleasuring you the way a human partner does — It's astonishing!
Lora DiCarlo's Baci
Additionally, Lora DiCarlo unveiled two more devices: Baci and Onda. Baci is a micro-robotic device which stimulates the feel and motion of human lips and tongue, while Onda mimics the motion of human fingers. Even though it's meant for women, I can't wait to actually try one!

More sex technology to solve our needs
DiCarlo's fight enabled other companies and devices to get noticed and join the spotlight. Satisfyer showed-off Satisyfer Connect, an app that can be used remotely with a long-distance partner. Lioness delivered its second-generation vibrator tracking data to improve orgasms.
Furthermore, Womanizer exhibited their products and Pleasure Air Technology — a combination of suction and pressure waves — which brings a mindblowing, orgasmic experience. While all of these talk about pleasure, Morari introduced a "band-aid" that withholds pleasure, solving the premature ejaculation issue prevalent with men.
2020 might just be the beginning, but CES showcasing sex technology is a huge step forward in encouraging a sex-positive society. If you're still iffy about this technology, remember that you're not the target audience and that you were born because your parents had sex.
