SQ4D 3D-prints full-sized concrete houses in a way that's faster, safer, and stronger than traditional methods. It's also, the company claims, more sustainable and, crucially, cheaper. The company recently listed the first 3D-printed home for sale in the United States: An attractive 1,400 square foot home with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a 2.5 car garage, and a quarter-acre garden in Riverhead, N.Y.
Its asking price of $299,999 isn't exactly dirt cheap, but it's well below the median asking price of $380,000 for the area. It took just 48 hours of print time over eight days and only three workers to create, and was entirely printed on-site. |

I wear spectacles every day to see clearly, and wearables have long been an area of modern tech I find very interesting. Therefore, I should be excited about the current influx of audio "smartglasses" that are hitting the market in surprising numbers.
Indeed, I was excited about them, until I tried some out. If you're also eager to upgrade your face gear, there's something you should know: The idea of audio smartglasses is much more appealing than the reality. |

AirDrop has long been the easiest way for Apple users to share files, photos, and other data between their own devices and with friends and family. Along with other features like iMessage, AirDrop has been hailed as one of the biggest advantages of sticking within the Apple ecosystem.
But others are at least trying to catch up. After years of Apple standing alone, Google finally launched what looked to be an answer to AirDrop, in the form of Android Nearby Share. The name isn't as catchy, but the idea is the same: You can use it to share files and photos with your own nearby devices, or those of your friends and family. Turns out, however, Google still has some catching up to do — and there may be nothing it can do about it. |
