Other Leak Detectors We LikePhotograph: Simon HillShelly Flood Gen 4: Shelly’s fourth-generation leak detector boasts support for the Matter smart home system and impressive connectivity via Zigbee, Bluetooth, and dual-band Wi-Fi. I had no issues setting it up in my Google Home app by scanning the Matter QR code, but you can also use the Shelly app or your smart home ecosystem of choice (Amazon Alexa, Apple HomeKit, Samsung SmartThings). Each IP44-rated unit requires four AA batteries (included), and you stick or screw it to the wall (so there’s no risk of the unit being submerged), and plug the extendable…
A few minutes ago, I completed and published an article about GameStop’s new basically-gambling scheme that lets people pay $5000 for a random Pokémon card that has a slim chance of being worth more than that, and a high chance of being worth less. I, like a number of other journalists, suggested half-jokingly in the text that GameStop was doing this to raise money toward purchasing e-commerce giant eBay, a website it wants to buy but seemingly cannot afford. Before our article even hit the feeds, I received a bizarre email from GameStop Director of Communications Nicolle Robles. The subject…
I watched Avatar: Fire and Ash using the Fandango at Home app, and in one scene, there’s an alarm chime during an attack sequence that fills the room. A main character is running out of oxygen, and you can hear the warning beeps move from the side to the center. Even when I watched Crime 101 using the Amazon Prime app, the droning synths and pounding drums sounded ultrarealistic, even compared to my own floor-standing speakers. All good so far, but I will be curious to get my hands on the LG Sound Suite speakers, because they are the first…
Energizer Coin batteries don’t make headlines all that often, but today shifts that trend with a smart new development. Energizer has released a new Ultimate Child Shield version of its 20mm coin lithium batteries. As the name implies, the tech is aimed at reducing the number of health risks if a child accidentally swallows the battery. These coin batteries don’t cause burning in the esophagus if ingested, and they also contain a dye that will color a child’s mouth blue if it comes in contact with saliva. According to Energizer’s…
Star Fox is Nintendo’s next exclusive for the Switch 2, and it’s a remake of Star Fox 64 on the original Nintendo 64. Nintendo revealed the game in a surprise Star Fox Direct, which shadow-dropped without any warning on Wednesday. The game’s existence uncharacteristically leaked ahead of time last month. The game appears to retread the levels of the original but with new graphics and additional cutscenes, including mission briefings that weren’t in the N64 version. The on-rails shooter follows Fox McCloud, Falco Lombardi, Peppy Hare, and Slippy Toad as they fight to liberate the Lylat system from attacks by the exiled…
A few months before Elon Musk left OpenAI’s board of directors in February 2018, he tried to recruit Sam Altman to join a “world-class AI lab” within Tesla. Musk went as far as offering the OpenAI CEO a Tesla board seat, according to emails and testimony presented in federal court on Wednesday during the Musk v. Altman trial. The emails were shown to a jury during the cross examination of Shivon Zilis, a former OpenAI adviser and board member who is also the mother of four of Musk’s children.Musk’s core claim in this lawsuit is that Altman and OpenAI president…
Nintendo Nintendo held a last-minute Star Fox Direct live stream on May 6 to reveal Star Fox, a remake of the N64 classic coming exclusively to the Nintendo Switch 2. It’s due to come out on June 25, complete with new gameplay modes and online play. Star Fox features reimagined visuals and redesigned characters, and everything seems to have a touch of Fantastic Mr. Star Fox about it. Nintendo calls it “a cinematic take” in its press release, and to that end, the game features new cutscenes with full voice acting and…
Are you still recovering from the mental whiplash of Nintendo’s surprise Star Fox Direct? I certainly am. The showcase revealing that Star Fox 64 is getting remade yet again showed Nintendo remains the king of getting people buzzing about something they collectively find unimpressive. While the original is an all-time classic, nothing about the remake showed why Star Fox for the Switch 2 will be indispensable to new players or returning fans. That disappointment is offset by the irresistible urge to dissect the new hyper-realistic look of all of the characters, including furry icon Fox McCloud. Is this really the…
Apple has agreed to pay $250 million to settle a false-advertising class-action lawsuit accusing the company of overhyping its Apple Intelligence features—specifically a promised AI overhaul of Siri that plaintiffs say never materialized and, according to their lawyers, may not arrive for years.The announcement comes just before Apple is supposedly set to finally unveil some form of AI-enhanced Siri at its developer conference in June, which would mark another swing at detailing a radically improved digital assistant for the iPhone.The legal complaint says that Apple allegedly saturated the market with deceptive ads, inducing consumers to purchase iPhones based on “the…
Samuel Boivin/Shutterstock Snap’s $400 million deal with Perplexity to put the AI search engine directly in Snapchat is dead. The two companies “amicably ended the relationship” earlier this year, Snap disclosed in its latest earnings report. The two companies first announced the partnership last November, with plans to make Perplexity’s AI search technology a prominent part of the Snapchat app. Snap said at the time that it expected to start seeing revenue from the partnership in “early 2026.” The feature began testing in Snapchat, but was never fully rolled out,…
