Circuit Arrest 🥀

At Computex 2026 in Taipei (July 2026), Qualcomm was demoing its new Dragonwing IQ10 AI chip (claimed ~700 TOPS) powering a NEURA Robotics 4NE-1 humanoid robot.

During the live presentation, the robot suddenly collapsed on stage (a controlled “safe-collapse” due to a brief communication glitch, per Qualcomm). Staff quickly covered it with a black cloth and carried it off while the presenter continued talking. The video went viral as a classic awkward tech-demo fail.
