Of course, we’re keeping tabs on all of the major CES press conferences too. Samsung held its First Look presentation, which focuses…
Physical AI sounds like a contradiction in terms. A computer, but a body?But for the marketing architects, it’s the latest term of art, a buzzword meant to point us citizens toward a bright and promising technological future.Back here on earth, the term is maybe most useful as a way to understand how automotive companies are thinking about themselves right now: as tech pioneers. It’s also a handy shortcut to understanding how appetizing the automotive industry is for the companies that make chips—what could be a $123 billion opportunity by 2032, up some 85 percent from 2023. The giant CES consumer…
Donkey Kong Bananza’s physical edition is on sale for $63 (was $70) at Amazon and Walmart. The 10% discount discount matches the all-time best price for the Switch 2 exclusive’s physical edition. And the last time Amazon discounted Bananza to $63 was in August, one week after launch. That deal disappeared fast, and we wouldn’t be surprised if this one expires before the end of today (January 9).If you want to play the Switch 2 platformer with an appropriately themed controller, the Turtle Beach Rematch Donkey Kong-themed wireless controller is on sale for $41.61 (was $60), but you might be…
A few months ago, I needed to add WhatsApp chat to my WordPress site. It sounded simple at first, but once I started looking, things got messy quickly. There were dozens of plugins that looked similar, vague feature lists, and very little clarity about which ones actually worked well in real situations. That’s a problem, because the wrong setup can slow down responses, frustrate visitors, or create more work than it saves. WhatsApp isn’t just another contact method. For many visitors, it’s the fastest and most comfortable way to reach a business. When WhatsApp is set up properly on your…
The 1,100-year-old mummified remains of a man reveal he likely died in an ancient turquoise mining accident in Chile. Extensive evidence of blunt-force trauma discovered on the man’s skeleton suggests he died because of a rockfall or mine collapse, according to a new study.The naturally mummified body, along with grave goods that included a bow and arrow and a snuff kit for hallucinogenic drugs, was originally excavated in the 1970s from an area just outside a pre-Hispanic turquoise mine in the northern Chilean city of El Salvador in the middle of the Atacama Desert. A visible fracture in the mummy’s…
TikTok and FIFA are teaming up for World Cup matches. On Thursday, FIFA said its media partners will be able to broadcast “parts of matches” on the social platform. The “preferred platform” partnership will run through the end of 2026.How long the live clips will be is anyone’s guess because “parts of matches” is as specific as the announcement got. We emailed TikTok for clarification and will update this story if we learn more.FIFA said the collaboration is designed to bring fans “closer to the action.” Getting more to the point, TikTok’s global head of content said live sports on…
Lingering sales of the original Switch might also be contributing to the relatively weak holiday performance for the Switch 2. In the UK, at least, the older console is still selling well enough to buoy Nintendo’s overall holiday hardware sales in the country to 7 percent higher than what the company achieved in 2017. Nintendo might need another Super Mario Odyssey-sized hit to keep up sales momentum for the Switch 2.

Old-school, upright vacuums left a lot to be desired, and cordless models are here to right many of those wrongs. These types of vacuums tend to be thinner, lighter and easy to maneuver around a home, and you don’t really have to sacrifice suction power anymore to get those benefits. Dyson isn’t your only option anymore either — like the robot vacuum space, there are dozens of cordless vacuums to choose from today. Variety is great, but it can also lead to decision fatigue and confusion.We at Engadget can help make that decision a bit easier. After testing a bunch…

But despite OpenAI’s talk of supporting health goals, the company’s terms of service directly state that ChatGPT and other OpenAI services “are not intended for use in the diagnosis or treatment of any health condition.” It appears that policy is not changing with ChatGPT Health. OpenAI writes in its announcement, “Health is designed to support, not replace, medical care. It is not intended for diagnosis or treatment. Instead, it helps you navigate everyday questions and understand patterns over time—not just moments of illness—so you can feel more informed and prepared for important medical conversations.” A cautionary tale The SFGate report…
