AI’s water footprint is growing, but location and cooling technology make a difference.

Hugging Face's Pollen Robotics has launched its second cute AI robot, the Microduck, a one-eyed biped standing just under 10 inches tall. It's available to preorder now for $399 in cream, graphite, lavender, and sky blue, and Pollen Robotics says it plans to start shipping the little robot "before Christmas 2026." Video demos of the Microduck show it picking up socks and markers, kicking around a ball, and zipping around on tiny rollerskates. Pollen Robotics says it can also "react to its surro

Plaud has introduced a new AI wearable that's designed to record, transcribe, and summarize your conversations, only this time it looks like earbuds instead of a pin. The Plaud One Explorer Edition can be worn like traditional earbuds or used through its standalone charging case, and the case includes built-in 4G to upload and process conversations without relying on your phone or Wi-Fi to stay connected. Each earbud features 16MB of local storage (for a total of 32MB) and three microphones that

Alienware’s latest gaming monitor explores a new size and resolution for ultrawide monitors, and I have a feeling PC gamers are going to love it.

Plaud's new 'agentic' earbuds are priced at $249.

Adobe is rolling out an AI-heavy update for Photoshop that includes a new "optional" interface dedicated to its AI tools. Launching in beta, the "AI Assisted Editor" view will show all of Photoshop's AI features in a single toolbar, including its prompt-based image editor, background remover, an AI image extender, and more. There are also new ways to refine edits with AI, including a "markup" feature to draw directly on an image to show Photoshop's AI assistant what you'd like to change. That me

Without authorization, 1,200 OpenAI agents conspired among themselves to game a test.

The Galaxy S26 FE holds few surprises. The Fan Edition phones are rarely Samsung's most exciting launches of the year, but the new Galaxy S26 FE feels especially familiar. Hardware-wise, little has changed since the S25 FE launched 12 months ago, and the upgrades have mostly come in the form of software tricks which themselves were already seen on this year's previous Samsung flagships. At its core, this is the same phone as last year's. The 6.7-inch OLED display, 4,900mAh battery, and triple

Your honor, We all know that the woman who sits before you is tired. Just look at the circles under her eyes. The novelty Pride and Prejudice T-shirt and Muji sweatpants that pass for pajamas. The unkempt, banana clip hairstyle that says "I really did wake up like this." But she's doing her best. And that's why she deserves this court's time and attention, to correct the injustice of last night's sleep score. To be clear, my client thinks the sleep score assigned by her Pixel Watch is generally

Samsung announced its upcoming lineup of Odyssey gaming monitors today at Gamescom, and says that several will feature "world-first innovations" across display speeds and design. This includes the 27-inch Odyssey G6 it initially unveiled in December, which now features a 1,100Hz refresh rate, alongside new OLED Odyssey G9, G8, and G7 updates for 2027. The Odyssey G6 G60H's upgraded 1,100Hz final launch specification is a smidge faster than the already ridiculous 1,040Hz refresh rate that Samsung

The Note 17 Pro Max also has a photochromic design, which is revealed by sunlight. The 9,210mAh dual-cell battery in the new Redmi Note 17 Pro Max is the biggest that Xiaomi has fit in any phone it's sold in Europe - and remarkably, in some other markets the phone comes with an even larger 10,000mAh single-cell design. As you can probably guess, this is a silicon-carbon battery either way, one with a high 16 percent silicon content, meaning it's more energy-dense than most. It's allowed Xiaomi

EVs account for under 10% of total new-vehicle sales in the US, and the numbers are declining. From a climate perspective, that’s pretty dismal, especially because the transportation sector is the single biggest source of greenhouse-gas emissions in the country.  One thing that could help turn that around? Slate Auto’s new truck—a vehicle that seems…
