I just visited a company in Finland that can turn any transparent surface — windows, glasses, plastic, anything — into a 3D display that perfectly augments what you see behind it.

Welcome to Distance . One of the most exciting companies in Europe right now. And they're only two years old.

We're not talking about a tiny rectangle in the corner of your windshield. The entire glass becomes your screen.

They showed this to Kia's design team. It led to a concept car with a full edge-to-edge 3D windshield that paints navigation onto the actual road, shows you what the car sees, highlights threats, and yes, could theoretically replace every Pepsi billboard with a Coke one.

But the defense side is where it gets serious.

As a neighbor to Russia, Finland feels the pain of Ukraine very directly. The Distance team wanted to be part of the solution.

Their field operator headset gives soldiers jet fighter-grade situational awareness.

Any sensor (thermal, infrared, multispectral) overlaid onto what you actually see. Tested in over a dozen field trials with the Finnish army. Driving armored vehicles in arctic conditions in the middle of the night with full 3D perception.
The field operator headset effectively allows soldiers to see through smoke, and with extra cameras even behind walls.

Some of what they showed us had never been shown publicly before.  And there's more cooking under the hood they couldn't share yet.

Two years in. Moving at the speed of light. Welcome to Europe!

WTF @canyon_bikes
You operate with direct sales model and yet absolutely no change of asking simple question, like what is the derailleur hanger for bike I would like to buy, just to have spare.

@villepeltola Jäin vain miettimään jos Putin oppi Applelta vai toisinpäin?

Yesterday I rented a boat and took the leader of one of Flexport's partners in Long Beach on a 3 hour of the port complex. Here's a thread about what I learned.

@kennu We went in our unit from Teams to Slack and in two weeks from non existing collaboration to active one. Just tells you all you need to know about the practical usability difference. Teams is fine place for files and video calls.

@t_baus_x I share your feeling

Tältä kaksinaismoralismi näyttää.

Lidl: Hieno Mokka ja Hieno Vilhelmiina ovat ihan ok, ei mitään väärää.

Lidl myös: joku graafikko parodioi logoamme, soitetaan lakimiehet paikalle

On kyllä iso muutos Finnairin tavassa kohdella asiakkaita. Edellisten toimarien kohdalla jaettiin maksimissaan edellisen päivän ylijäämäsämpylälät kauniiden puheiden lomassa ja vedottiin lainsäädäntöön, nyt asiakkaat on oikeasti keskiössä. @TopiManner @Finnair

Good news for our Finnair Plus tier customers. We will automatically extend your tier status for further six months beyond its original expiry. Your available upgrade benefits will have updated validity date as well.

@mrsseppala Mitkä uudet kilpailijat tekevät halvemmalla? Esim Postnord ja Matkahuolto käyttävät TESiä joka on kalliimpi kuin Postin nykyinen TES (jota ollaan nyt vaihtamassa halvempaan).
