Deep & Emerging TechToyota’s hydrogen pickup beats its electric one on every number except where to refuel it
Toyota’s 2028 hydrogen Hilux with 400 km range and 2,500 kg towing shows fuel cells can beat BEVs on work-truck specs — but Europe and the UK together have only 179 stations. If you run fleets or build in mobility, treat hydrogen as a corridor play tied to specific infrastructure buildouts, not a near-term general solution.

Proton VPN shipping a native app for Amazon’s Vega OS Fire TV Sticks shows privacy tooling is following users onto every embedded OS surface. If your product touches TV or IoT platforms, assume customers will expect first-class security and privacy options on-device, not just on phones and PCs.
Deep & Emerging TechNvidia’s Huang Expects to Sell Twice as Many Chips Next Year
Planning to double chip sales on the back of AI demand means the constraint is shifting from GPU availability to power, cooling, and capital. If you’re budgeting large-scale training or inference, assume capacity will exist but at a premium for those who haven’t already locked in long-term supply and energy.
