Slack is introducing dedicated channels where teams can vibe-code together with AI agents instead of jumping between different tools and conversations. The Slack Code launch includes open, project-specific code channels with dedicated user tabs, alongside features that compare coding changes and preview HTML output before the project is shipped.“With Slack Code, when you have an idea or need to build a new feature, update a web page, or fix a bug, you simply tag in a coding agent like Anthropic’s Claude or Cognition’s Devin, and that agent then spins up a code channel to tackle the task,” Slack said in…

LG Display makes some of the best OLED televisions around, but the Korean giant isn’t resting on its laurels. LG has just announced a new OLED tech called FLiPP (FMM-Less innovative Pixel Patterning) that it promises will push beyond the limitations of the current technology in three key ways – longevity, brightness and efficiency. LG describes the FLiPP tech as “dream next-generation OLED” tech that surpasses the current generation FMM (fine metal mask) panel technology, which includes inherent limits in producing high resolution at scale because of the way the technology is built. It works by removing the FMM from…

My two cats live a refreshingly low-tech lifestyle. They’ve never experienced a robot litter box, an automated feeder, or a GPS tracker. Noodle and Loaf live blissfully unaware of the technological trappings that surround the rest of my life.Except, that is, for the glowing neon sign that turns on whenever they go to the toilet.I can’t, and won’t, take responsibility for the “On Air” sign. It was my partner’s idea, suggested — I thought — as a joke. That was until it turned up at the house and I realized she was all too sincere.This all started with the cats’…

Google gave OG Pixel Watch users a reason for an increase in heart rate and stress levels earlier this week when it informed wearers that support for several health-related features on the smartwatch was going away. Some owners of the first-generation GPW received a notification informing them: “Update your watch to keep using Google Health. Your watch is running an older version of Wear OS and will soon stop syncing sleep and workout data with Google Health. Update your watch to the latest version to keep tracking your health.” For some users that provided a quandary, because it no longer…

Nothing is more humbling for a frequent traveller than landing after a long-haul flight and realising that your body missed the time-change memo. There you are, feeling like a phone on one per cent, while everyone around you goes about their day functioning perfectly normally.  That is jet lag. Your internal clock is stuck on the time of your departure city, while the sun has got its hat on and you’re definitely not singing hip hip hooray. Wide awake at 3am, gagging for a nap at 3pm, and about as sharp as the knife from the flight that got you…

Last year, Audi announced that it gave its all-EV-by-2033 plan the boot, and instead will offer a mix of gasoline, hybrid, and electrified propulsion. There’s no doubt still some uncertainty among bigger automakers — especially those under the Volkswagen Group umbrella — when it comes to such a (now prior) commitment. Even so, what it’s currently offering on the EV front is rather good, and fits into the German brand’s under-the-radar fast sedan tradition quite well.I recently discovered this in the 2027 Audi S6 Sportback E-tron. A cross between a sedan and a wagon in terms of its rearward shape,…

Blancpain has just released a watch I can’t stop thinking about (I know, it’s only been like 60 minutes… but still). It’s called the Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe, and it marks 70 years since the model first launched back in 1956. To celebrate, Blancpain has recreated one of its most iconic references, a watch from 1968, almost exactly as it was, and only 300 are being made. The Bathyscaphe has always lived in the shadow of its bigger sibling, the Fifty Fathoms. That watch was built for military divers and professionals. The Bathyscaphe was its civilian cousin, smaller, sleeker, and designed…

Genesis has unveiled the GV90, its first full-size flagship SUV and it’s a hugely impressive bit of kit. Based on the Genesis Neolun Concept, first revealed back in 2024, the luxury electric car is designed to take on ultra-premium products from Bentley, Maybach and BMW. We’ve had a look-see at both the exterior and interior and the fit, finish and general vibe is next level. The huge – and at 5.28m long sitting on 24in forged alloys it is huge – Genesis GV90 will be available in two variants: the GV90 Neolun and standard GV90. Both models sit on a…

The AI world is moving so quickly that it’s becoming difficult to keep up with the latest trends. From some of the early 21st century machine learning efforts, to the today’s generative AI landscape where multi-model content can be generated from scratch, the progress feels exponential. Indeed, we’re now entering the Agentic AI era where AI ‘agents’ can act on your behalf with little to no active input required from the user. Are we at risk of being overtaken by the machines? Right now human beings still have the edge. Although we can’t process data or generate content at the…

LG Display has unveiled a new OLED manufacturing method that reportedly results in panels that are brighter, longer-lasting, more efficient, and theoretically can be almost any size. This new technology is called FLiPP (FMM-Less innovative Pixel Patterning), which LG Display describes as a “dream next-generation OLED” patterning method that aims to eliminate some of the existing limitations in OLED panels.The main advantage of FLiPP is that it doesn’t use a fine metal mask (FMM) like conventional RGB OLEDs, which is a metal plate with tiny holes used to stencil light-emitting materials for pixel patterning. This manufacturing process can be costly,…

HoverAir drones always have intriguing gimmicks. This one folds flat to fit in your pocket. This one can land on water. Another can charge inside its carrying case. But the brand’s latest trick might be its riskiest: it’s attempting to sneak a drone past the FCC.In December 2025, the US government banned future foreign drones from reaching our shores, and HoverAir’s floating Aqua drone was one of the first casualties. But this time, brand owner Zero Zero Robotics might have found a loophole: its latest $750 Versa drone isn’t a drone, it claims, but rather a DJI Pocket-style mini steadycam…

While Prime members get the Amazon Alexa+ assistant for free, Fire TV owners without Amazon’s subscription service have been paying $20 a month to take the new-generation AI-assistant for a spin. Doesn’t make a lot of sense really, does it? Pay $20 a month for Alexa+ or pay $14.99 a month for Amazon Prime and all associated benefits and Alexa+? We’re not sure how many people chose that option. However, now some of them won’t have to, and it may be related to the forthcoming arrival of Siri AI on Apple devices including the rival Apple TV service. Amazon says…
