Say the words Ai Pin to any tech geek within earshot, and they'll most likely regale you with tales of AI gadget infamy. The Humane wearable was (past tense) nothing short of a disaster. Not only was the pin an eye-watering $700 when it was released, but it also required a $24 monthly subscription for LTE. To top it all off, it, uh barely did anything that its founders promised.

The thin bezels make the screen appear larger than it is, and in full-screen mode, it's satisfying for entertainment and media playback, with support for Dolby Vision. The 11.45-inch screen size is, to me, the sweet spot: it's small enough to be portable but also large enough to be seen across the room, for example, when watching something in the kitchen while cooking.

Steam is experiencing an outage that's impacting users ability to access the game store and play games online. Valve hasn't acknowledged the outage publicly, but SteamDB's unofficial Steam Status page reports that the Steam Store, Steam Community, and Steam Web APIs are all offline. DownDetector received over 6,000 outage reports around 1:15PM ET, and Steam is also inaccessible from Valve's mobile apps. The outage appears to be affecting APIs for Valve's online games, like Team Fortress 2, Dota 2 and Counterstrike 2, as well.

Microsoft is testing a "more sources" section within the Bing Search results. This seems to load a different user interface, with long card-shaped search results that you can slide through as a carousel. This was spotted by Sachin Patel who posted a number of videos of this in action on X - here is a static screenshot from one of those videos: Here is a partial GIF: Here is the original post with the videos:

It has a responsive touchscreen allows for seamless navigation through mobile apps and web pages and it performs well enough to allow you to complete your daily activities such as work, school and streaming without experiencing slow-downs. Of course, that's dependent on your connection, but your computer won't be the one slowing you down. You've got plenty of screen real estate, so that means ample space to view documents, stream movies and open multiple windows and tabs wat the same itme.

First, I did not bother with the Dreo space heater's smart aspect. The reason is that we've decommissioned our Alexa devices in favor of Google Home speakers. We recently switched network providers, and I couldn't get Alexa to connect to the new network, no matter how much I tried. I'd always found Alexa devices to be problematic when it comes to connectivity, and the Google Home speakers were absolutely painless to deploy.

From upgraded compression packing cubes that instantly streamline chaotic suitcases to universal travel adapters that solve mid-trip charging scrambles, and even sleek containers for must-bring toiletries, travelers today are packing smarter than ever. I've curated a list of 15 standout itemsone of everything you need to stay organized, maximize comfort, and arrive feeling refreshed at your next destination. On the plane, we have equipment that is commonly referred to as no-go items

Recently, NORAD's Santa Tracker teamed up with OpenAI to introduce new AI-powered features. These include an image generator that transforms your selfie into an animated elf character, a tool for generating toy ideas and converting them into printable coloring book pages, and a fill-in-the-blank storytelling tool that allows families to add names, places, and other details to create a fun holiday story to read aloud.

If you're looking to upgrade from a basic 1080p monitor you've been using for a decade, I recommend buying the Dell 27 Plus 4K. It's sharp, has good colors, and is shockingly affordable. I knew right when I tested it that it would be unbeatable at its price, and I promise: I won't be offended if you skip all my words and buy that immediately. But if you're shopping around, I have advice ranging from panel types to refresh rate. Let's dive in.

Hisense calls it a "lifestyle projector" that beams at long-throw distances, meaning it's ideal when set further away from a wall or projector screen. The projection size ranges from 65 inches to 300 inches, offering a good amount of flexibility for various rooms and environments. However, the standout feature of the XR10 is its 6,000 ANSI lumens of brightness, which is the highest rating I've seen on any projector in recent times.

I know you. Yes, you. You were looking at the $630 Kindle Scribe Colorsoft or reMarkable Paper Pro with hungry eyes, but the price of both tablets was upsetting your stomach. So you've started looking elsewhere for a color e-reader/e-notetaker. In your blind search, you've come upon the Boox Note Air 5C, and you're still left grimacing at the $530 asking price.

The GPU is packaged separately from the rest of the system, which may sound odd, but I've found that's one of the most common pain points when shipping a new gaming PC. I've seen system builders use expanding foam, special brackets, and folded cardboard supports, among other solutions, but packing the graphics cards in its original box is far simpler and safer, and the other ways of shipping a PC with an installed graphics card still require opening the system up anyway.

Galaxy Buds 3 FE are currently going for just $110 at Amazon, after the retailer took a massive 27% off their usual $150 price. The offer applies to both the classic black and the stunning gray color options, but there's a catch. The discount is only around for today. It ends at midnight, which means you don't have a lot of time left to save. Additionally, you're also getting a two-month free trial to Audible with your purchase,

It also noted that a further review by an Executive Branch interagency body with appropriate national security expertise that was convened by the White House led to a "specific determination" that UAS and UAS critical component parts produced in foreign countries pose "unacceptable risks to the national security of the United States and to the safety and security of U.S. persons."

The Recon 360 Faucet lets you pump water out of a storage container like a typical faucet in places that lack traditional plumbing, be it inside a boat, cabin, or van, or at the beach, job site, or campground. A long silicone water hose attaches to the back of the faucet and snaps into the CPC quick-connect fitting found on Dometic's Go Jug or Recon Hardside Coolers.

Today, based on an Executive Branch national security determination, the FCC has added foreign-produced UAS (drones) and foreign-produced UAS critical component parts to the FCC's Covered List on a going forward basis. President Trump has been clear that his Administration will... pic.twitter.com/tVLlsBeOfw- Brendan Carr (@BrendanCarrFCC) December 22, 2025

The best cordless vacuums are your secret weapons for a hands-on approach to cleaning your floors without a power cord-we think it's one of the most ingenious innovations in the world of cleaning since the original hoovers were created in the 1860s. While the vacuum industry is besting itself over the years, including robot helpers with AI capabilities, cordless vacuums are not lagging behind thanks to slimmer, more streamlined bodies, longer run times, and upgraded wet-dry features.
