Spring doesn’t officially kick off until March 20th, but there’s something to be said about getting a head start on your spring cleaning. Lucky for you, Eufy’s X10 Pro Omni is currently on sale at Amazon, Walmart, and directly from Eufy (with promo code WS7DV2D5LF9F) for $449.99 ($450 off), matching its lowest price to date.Although it’s since been dethroned as our favorite midrange robot vacuum / mop hybrid, X10 Pro Omni remains a solid choice thanks to its excellent AI-powered obstacle detection, powerful oscillating mops, and user-friendly app. The dual-spinning brushes are capable of removing dried stains with 1kg of…

Google has finally launched a native app for Apple’s Vision Pro headset, plugging a major hole in the headset’s third-party application offering. The full fat YouTube experience is available to download from the App Store and finally gives users a way to watch content natively without using the Safari browser or one of the third-party options that invariably popped up before being shut down. The new app offers support for 3D 360-degree videos and VR180. Users with a Vision Pro M5 headset can enjoy videos in 8K resolution. Google says users can watch in full screen, or within Vision Pro…

On October 24th, 2011, Jeffrey Epstein was emailing back and forth with Boris Nikolic, a biotech venture capitalist who would later be named as a backup executor of Epstein’s will. The two appeared to be discussing a meeting Nikolic had helped arrange between Epstein and “moot,” the screen name for Christopher Poole, who created the platform 4chan in 2003. Nikolic asked Epstein if he liked moot, and Epstein wrote back that he liked him a lot, thought he was very bright, and had driven him home.All of these emails were published for the first time alongside 3.5 million other documents…

The hours-long closure of El Paso airspace stemmed from the use of an anti-drone laser deployed by Customs and Border Protection, according to reports from The New York Times and the Associated Press. Sources tell The Times that CBP officials didn’t give the Federal Aviation Administration “enough time to assess the risks to commercial aircraft,” leading to the abrupt shutdown.On Wednesday, the FAA closed the airspace around El Paso International Airport, citing “special security reasons.” The move impacted commercial flights and emergency medical transportation. Though the agency initially said the closure would last 10 days, it reopened the airspace just…

No sooner had Apple pushed out a rather mundane iOS 26.3 update that we’re hearing the exciting sounding iOS 26.4 feature slate may return to the backburner. According to Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman, Apple is poised to yet again delay a number of new Siri features that are designed to bring the personal assistant into the generative AI era. The erstwhile Apple watcher’s sources say Apple may look to spread out the Google Gemini powered features over the next few versions, rather than debuting them all next month. That’s because some of those features are still performing badly in testing and…

Today, Amazon dropped a new trailer for its upcoming Spider-Noir starring Nicolas Cage as a brooding Spider-Man variant. Set in an alternate reality where it’s still the 1930s, Spider-Noir follows private investigator Ben Reilly (Cage) as he gets back into the crimefighting game as the hero known as “The Spider.” As his city’s only superhero, Reilly knows that he’s the only person with the necessary skills to deal with threats like mob boss Silvermane (Brendan Gleeson). But as a man still reeling from a personal tragedy, it’s hard for Reilly to get back into the heroic swing of things.In addition…

Apple, Bose, and Sony are in a running battle for the best noise-canceling earbuds, and the Sony WF-1000XM6 put Sony back in first place — if you can get a good fit with the included foam tips.With each iteration of the XM series, Sony has aimed for — and delivered — incredible noise-canceling performance with a pleasing and balanced sound profile, and features that work equally well with iOS and Android. The XM6 push even further by adding additional noise-canceling mics (for a total of 8), a new chip, newly designed drivers, and a new shape that’s supposed to better…

Stuff VerdictThe XM6 makes smaller gains than previous generations, but Sony remains the gold standard for its blend of noise cancelling, sound quality, comfort and battery lifeProsOutstanding noise cancellingSony’s signature audio excellence hasn’t gone anywhere More comfortable to wear than everConsNo battery life improvements from previous generationEar tip fit test could be clearer Introduction Sony’s reputation for making some of the best all-rounder wireless earbuds around has been earned over five generations.

For some reason that still alludes me, my embarrassingly long career in journalism has seen me test all manner of consumer technologies, from power tools to electronically-powered scooters and bicycles. Perhaps a healthy interest in, erm, health and fitness, has also seen a number of editors task me with trialling fitness trackers, heart rate monitors, smartwatches and even those bizarre contraptions that aim to spasm your abs into some kind of pin-up washboard stomach (spoiler alert: they don’t, not eating pies does). Anyway, despite this depth of experience in fitness-y gadgetry, the en vogue smart ring has evaded my radar…

If you have a spare $7,999 (plus a $250 deposit), hate folding laundry, and happen to live in the Bay Area, one-and-a-half-year-old startup Weave has the robot for you: Isaac 0.It takes Isaac 0 around 30-90 minutes to fold a load of laundry, Weave says. That’s all it does — it’s stationary and needs a regular wall outlet — and it can’t tackle large blankets, bed sheets, or inside-out garments. It’s not fully autonomous either, with teleoperators on-hand to assist with trickier folds, though Weave says performance will improve over time. Read the full article here

Amazon’s rolling out a new “Send to Alexa Plus” feature to the latest Kindle Scribe and Kindle Scribe Colorsoft owners starting February 12. The feature lets you send your notes or documents to Amazon’s AI-powered Alexa Plus assistant, which can then summarize them, turn them into to-do lists, calendar events, or reminders, as well as help brainstorm, and offer project guidance.I spent about a day or so testing it primarily to help with caregiving tasks, and it was mostly helpful despite some limitations. It works best when asked to digest information into something actionable. It accurately summarized my handwritten notes…
