One morning last month, I walked into my kitchen to get a glass of water, but my smart faucet was out of battery. I went to sit down in my front room, and the shade was still shut — it was out of battery. I walked down the hall and found a beached robot vacuum — out of battery. I headed outside to feed the chickens, unlocking the back door on the way out. The battery-powered smart lock had done what it was supposed to and automatically locked at 8PM. At least something was working.The game changer here is wireless…
Anthropic has responded to allegations that it used an AI-fabricated source in its legal battle against music publishers, saying its Claude chatbot made an “honest citation mistake.”In a response filed on Thursday, Anthropic defense attorney Ivana Dukanovic said that the scrutinized source was genuine and that Claude had indeed been used to format legal citations in the document. While incorrect volume and page numbers generated by the chatbot were caught and corrected by a “manual citation check,” Anthropic admits that wording errors had gone undetected.Dukanovic said, “unfortunately, although providing the correct publication title, publication year, and link to the provided…

Earlier this year at CES 2025, Roborock debuted a robot vacuum cleaner with a robotic arm – the Saros Z70. It’s designed to pick up discarded socks or toys that stand in the way of giving your home a good clean. Honestly, it’s one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. At launch, it was slated to arrive “later this year”. Now, it’s finally available to order in both the US and UK. It’ll set you back $1900/£1800. But to celebrate its UK launch, Roborock is offering £100 off if you order before 2 June. The OmniGrip Mechanical Arm is…

After xAI’s chatbot Grok spent a few hours on Wednesday telling every X user that would listen that the claim of white genocide in South Africa is highly contentious, the company has blamed the behavior on an “unauthorized modification” to Grok’s code.Wednesday’s hours-long outburst saw Grok insert discussion of alleged white genocide in South Africa into various responses on X, no matter the topic. Grok discussed white farmers’ deaths in reply to a video of a cat drinking water, related the song “Kill the Boer” to a question about Spongebob Squarepants, and broke down the issue in full patois. Even…
CarPlay links your iPhone – even mid-range phone models– to your car’s infotainment display. It puts access to familiar apps and features right on your dashboard, partly replacing your car’s built-in system – which, let’s face it, probably isn’t as slick. But at Apple’s WWDC 2022 software showcase, the brand unexpectedly stole the show with a major CarPlay refresh. The next generation of CarPlay is headed to all your in-car screens, not just the main infotainment panel. That means Apple-styled speedometers, dials, and widgets. The tech giant first pegged 2024 for compatible cars to be on the road. Now in…
After five years, I was still happy with my phone, even though its battery had started the inevitable process of slowing to a stop. But Donald Trump’s tariff nonsense pushed me to make a decision: buy a new phone or fix the old one now, before the prices go up. The answer was clearer than ever — I replaced the battery. I have an iPhone 12 Mini, a size Apple no longer makes. It’s small and light, which is what I want from a phone. When it came out, our reviewer found that the battery died on him every evening.…
