The Digital Markets Act (DMA) is shifting how core platform services operate in Europe by requiring dominant “gatekeepers” to lower barriers for app developers, device makers, and online services. In practical terms, that means alternative iOS app marketplaces, the ability to use third-party in-app payments, access to device APIs previously restricted to first-party apps, and data portability that is not just one-off exports but continuous and real-time so users and third-party services can multihome and switch. For background and official resources, see the Commission’s DMA portal at the end of this paragraph. https://digital-markets-act.ec.europa.eu/

HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

Enforcement currently covers seven gatekeepers and their core platform services: Alphabet, Amazon, Apple (including iPadOS), ByteDance, Meta, Microsoft, and Booking. For mobile, the immediate effects are tangible: alternative app stores on iOS, third-party browser engines, and broader NFC access so non-Apple wallets and use cases like car-key apps can work on iPhone. App distribution terms and commissions are under scrutiny, with developers allowed to steer users to external payment flows and competing stores under defined conditions in the EU, changing long-standing economics for software distribution on mobile ecosystems.

Messaging interoperability is another pillar. Meta must enable third-party messaging interconnects—WhatsApp since March 7, 2024 and Messenger since September 6, 2024—while preserving end-to-end encryption via published reference offers and security requirements. The goal is for competing services (e.g., Signal, Telegram, Viber) to link with gatekeeper messengers if they choose, so users can communicate across networks without being locked into a single provider. Interop starts with one-to-one text and can expand in scope as security and abuse-mitigation models are validated in deployment over time across Europe.

The DMA’s vertical interoperability obligations also matter for hardware-software integration. Third-party apps should gain fair access to OS-controlled features via APIs, from haptics and notifications to secure elements and NFC where justified. That reduces the structural advantage of first-party services and opens space for independent wallets, wearables, and vertical-specific apps to compete on UX, performance, and privacy. Complementing this, continuous data portability enables automated backups to user-chosen services and cross-posting across social networks, supporting resilience for creators and SMEs if a platform limits reach or access for any reason in Europe.

This interview was filmed at Web Summit Lisbon 2025 and focuses on practical questions developers, creators, and startups ask: timelines, who is covered, and what changes on phones and in app stores in their daily workflows. The Commission emphasizes evidence-based, ex-ante rules with public consultations and ongoing investigations to test whether new fee structures and technical gates genuinely comply with the Regulation. For creators and app publishers, the near-term takeaway is clear: distribution, payments, and messaging are structurally opening up, and building for DMA-compliant channels should now be part of go-to-market planning in Europe.

Nordic’s nPM2100 is a primary-cell PMIC built to squeeze long life out of AA/AAA, Li-MnO₂ and coin-cell powered Bluetooth LE devices. It integrates a high-efficiency boost plus a post-regulation LDO/load-switch so a single AA can provide a clean 1.8–3.3 V rail to parts like the nRF54L15, while system telemetry (voltage/temperature) feeds a model-based fuel gauge for reliable state-of-charge reporting in percent. Configuration and supervision run over I²C/TWI with minimal firmware burden, making it practical for compact sensors, remotes and beacons that need predictable maintenance windows. https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/nPM2100

The PMIC’s power path is tuned for ultra-low idle and solid conversion at tiny loads: Nordic quotes ~89% boost efficiency at 10 µA and up to ~95% at higher currents, helping avoid throwing away primary-cell energy during quiescent stretches. For deployment and storage, Ship mode drops to ~35 nA so products can ship with batteries inserted. In the field, Hibernate hits ~175 nA with a programmable wake timer, enabling long sleep intervals between advertising or sensing bursts without losing state across cycles.

Beyond regulation, nPM2100 adds system management that embedded teams usually bolt on separately. A watchdog timer, boot timer and power-fail warning let firmware checkpoint, do a final uplink, and shut down gracefully below a defined voltage threshold. The fuel-gauge workflow (battery profiling via Nordic’s PowerUP tools) yields percent-level SoC and—in the demo—reporting in 5% steps, which is often sufficient for maintenance planning across varied chemistries and vendors.

In practice, this means multi-year lifetimes are realistic for low-duty-cycle endpoints once sleep intervals exceed roughly 85 s, with 2–3× extensions reported for beacon-style workloads. The evaluation kit shows a single AA driving an nRF54-series board at a steady 3 V, and the same architecture works for CR2032 and zinc-air/silver-oxide stacks where cold-start and end-of-life behavior typically bite. This interview and live demo were filmed at Embedded World North America, focusing on nPM2100’s fit for coin-cell and alkaline-powered IoT nodes rather than rechargeable wearables, emphasizing predictable lifespan and simple integration for BLE endpoints.

Under the hood, a proprietary algorithm links upstream and downstream dependencies around any target topic, revealing adjacent components, enabling materials, and supply-chain criticalities. Users can start broad—say, “quantum computing”—then drill into photonic approaches, silicon photonics, or error-correction stacks, with trend velocity, maturity cues, and who-is-building-what surfaced in a single 360° insight view. This turns exploratory prompts into ranked opportunities and a living dependency map.

A central focus today is semiconductor and power electronics, where being late can cost billions. Deeli AI emphasizes the AI infrastructure value chain—GPU and accelerator ecosystems, hyperscale server designs, and foundry-level processes—showing where breakthrough materials or manufacturing steps could shift cost and performance curves. This conversation was filmed at Web Summit Lisbon 2025, where the team was showcasing to investors and enterprise technology leaders at the conference.

On the supply side, researchers and early-stage deep-tech startups can submit their work for discovery via an open intake portal, making their capabilities visible to enterprise R&D without paywalls. Deeli AI partners with labs and institutions to ingest pre-publication or pre-patent signals where possible, then matches intent from enterprise queries to relevant people, papers, prototypes, and licensing candidates. The aim is to replace fragmented conference networking with programmatic, prompt-to-partner matchmaking across the R&D pipeline.

Business model: enterprises pay for access, researchers and startups onboard for free, and notification streams keep corporate users ahead of fast-moving fields. Deeli AI already works with paying customers in Taiwan and the United States and is now engaging European partners and strategic investors for scale. The goal is a repeatable, cross-industry engine for technology scouting, licensing pipelines, and informed capital allocation across Europe.

The G1 stands out technically because it supports 23 to 43 degrees of freedom (depending on configuration) and uses force-position hybrid control in its hands, giving it more dexterity than many earlier humanoids. It features a LiDAR and depth-camera setup (for example a Livox Mid-360 plus Intel RealSense D435) for perception, enabling it to perceive and map its environment in 3D. Although in the video the tasks shown are mainly walking, balancing, dancing, and looking stable in crowds, the underlying platform suggests readiness for more complex manipulation and locomotion research.

From the interview we learn some key real-world operational details: the robot weighs about 35 kg, has a battery runtime of roughly two hours, and a recharge of around 19 minutes. These match product specifications for the G1. The presenter also noted that while it can be programmed to do household-style tasks (laundry, dishes, cooking) in theory, “right now you have to programme it” — it lacks true autonomous task-level intelligence out of the box.

It’s worth emphasising the context: Unitree has positioned the G1 as a mass-production-capable humanoid for research and development, rather than a finished consumer appliance. For example, a news piece states that although the price was around $16,000 at launch, the robot still “needs teaching” to make breakfast. And recent developments show Unitree launching a lighter, cheaper R1 model for about $5,500 — indicating the G1 is part of a progressive platform strategy.

In summary, the interview at Web Summit reveals the G1 as a milestone in accessible humanoid robotics: a reasonably priced biped with strong mechanics, good sensor-hardware, open SDK, and real-world use in universities and development labs. While it cannot yet interpret natural language commands to independently cook or load laundry, it provides a robust hardware/firmware foundation. For those looking to build up humanoids with proprioception, force-controlled hands and 3D perception, it represents a meaningful step forward.
