LG is teaming up with Dolby for a new collection of speakers that the companies are unveiling ahead of CES 2026. The LG Sound Suite features a modular lineup the H7 soundbar, M7 and M5 wireless surround speakers and the W7 subwoofer. The speakers can be combined in more than two dozen different configurations, from a pair to a full 13.1.7 channel surround sound home theater setup.The main pitch of the LG Sound Suite is its application of Dolby Atmos FlexConnect. This is the audio brand’s tech for optimizing sound from wherever wireless speakers are placed. It’s meant to deliver…

For most of photography’s roughly 200-year history, altering a photo convincingly required either a darkroom, some Photoshop expertise, or, at minimum, a steady hand with scissors and glue. On Tuesday, OpenAI released a tool that reduces the process to typing a sentence. It’s not the first company to do so. While OpenAI had a conversational image-editing model in the works since GPT-4o in 2024, Google beat OpenAI to market in March with a public prototype, then refined it to a popular model called Nano Banana image model (and Nano Banana Pro). The enthusiastic response to Google’s image-editing model in the…

Extraction shooter and recent Game Awards winner Arc Raiders just dropped a massive, winter-themed update. Cold Snap, as it’s called, adds a map condition that can cause frostbite, a timed event that lets players earn rewards (including Raider Tokens), a Candleberry Banquet project that also offers up some currency and cosmetics, and, apparently, way more generous blueprint drops.  A popular post on the official Arc Raiders subreddit titled “Keep the blueprint drop rate” argues for developer Embark Studios to make the alleged changes to said drop rate permanent. “Instead of sitting on gear and going with free loadouts, this incentivizes…

A report from Reuters claims that scientists in China have created a prototype of a machine that could eventually be used to produce semiconductor chips capable of powering artificial intelligence. Sources told the publication that a team in Shenzhen completed the prototype of an extreme ultraviolet lithography machine earlier this year and it is allegedly now undergoing testing. The EUV machine was reportedly made by former engineers from Dutch semiconductor supplier ASML. Reuters states that China is targeting production of its own EUV chips beginning in 2028, although other experts have projected 2030 as a more likely date.EUV is a…

A mysterious, spider-like structure lurking on Jupiter’s fourth-largest moon, Europa, may finally have a proper explanation nearly 30 years after it was discovered. The arachnid imposter has also been given a demonic new name.In March 1998, NASA’s Galileo spacecraft — which studied Jupiter and its major moons between 1995 and 2003 — made a close flyby of Europa, a frozen ocean moon often considered one of the most likely places for extraterrestrial life to exist in the solar system. During this flyby, the probe mapped out a roughly 13.7-mile-wide (22 kilometers) impact structure, dubbed Manannán Crater, on the moon’s icy…

Physicists at the University of Amsterdam came up with a really cool bit of Christmas decor: a miniature 3D-printed Christmas tree, a mere 8 centimeters tall, made of ice, without any refrigeration equipment or other freezing technology, and at minimal cost. The secret is evaporative cooling, according to a preprint posted to the physics arXiv. Evaporative cooling is a well-known phenomenon; mammals use it to regulate body temperature. You can see it in your morning cup of hot coffee: the hotter atoms rise to the top of the magnetic trap and “jump out” as steam. It also plays a role…

This time of year makes me miss being a kid and unwrapping a cool new RPG I could then spend the winter quietly toiling through. Not an internet guide in sight. Just a fan living in the moment. So I’m always on the lookout to see what games are getting discounted during the holiday sell-off in case there are one or two things I can pick up and add to my physical collection for cheap. I might even wrap them and put them in a stocking or under the tree and pretend they’re from Santa. Here are a few of…

Space is full of unsolved mysteries, and a team using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope have recently turned up a doozy. “I remember after we got the data down, our collective reaction was ‘What the heck is this?’ It’s extremely different from what we expected,” said Peter Gao of the Carnegie Earth and Planets Laboratory in Washington, a co-author on the study.The researchers found an exoplanet dubbed PSR J2322-2650b that orbits a small, dense star emitting electromagnetic radiation known as a pulsar. They are an example of a black widow system, where a rapidly spinning pulsar is paired with a…

Pumas in Patagonia are preying on penguins — and it’s changing how the big cats interact with each other.The pumas in question reestablished themselves in an Argentinian national park that housed a penguin breeding colony — and the cats promptly began eating the birds. Now, it turns out the normally solitary cats that eat the penguins are tolerating each other more often than expected, new research published Wednesday (Dec. 17) in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B reports.The findings suggest that reintroductions like these can have surprising knock-on effects.

I first encountered LetPot as a brand earlier this year, while testing its LPH-SE Senior hydroponic growing system for my guide to the best indoor gardening systems. Positioned as alternatives to the long-beloved OG Aerogarden tabletop hydroponic systems, LetPot’s countertop gardens (which are popular enough to have their own subreddit) allow you to grow any seeds you’d like—no proprietary pods needed—using inexpensive baskets and sponges that are ubiquitous on Amazon and run about 20 cents each. (LetPot’s sets come with enough baskets and sponges to get you started, but no seeds.) I regularly recommend LetPot’s version as the best budget…
