Elon Musk says Tesla's Full Self-Driving software will enable users to glance at their phones in certain driving scenarios. On Thursday, Musk said drivers can use their phones while driving with FSD activated "depending on context of surrounding traffic" after an X user asked if they're able to "text and drive on FSD v14.2." The only issue: It's still pretty illegal to text and drive.
Sony extended Cyber Monday deals by a few extra days with discounts still active on the PS5 Pro, DualSense controllers, and PS VR headsets. If you want the ultimate PlayStation experience with Sony's most powerful console, this is it, currently sitting at $648 instead of the usual $749 in a record low deal. This pricing matters because the performance gap between the Pro and the standard PS5 Slim becomes impossible to ignore once you see games running at their maximum potential.
When I received the device, I was stunned at how small the box was. Then I pulled out the stand and realized why the box was so tiny. The Ku Xiu stand folds in such a way that it fits in the palm of your hand. It's also heavy, because it's made of metal. Additionally, the bottom of the stand features a non-slip surface, ensuring it stays in place without risk of accidental removal from your nightstand or desk.
Realme Watch 5 is priced at Rs. 4,499 in India, but a launch offer brings the price down to Rs. 3,999 with a Rs. 500 discount. The first sale will begin on December 10 at 12pm (noon) IST on the Realme India e-store, Flipkart, and mainline retail channels. The smartwatch is available in Titanium Black, Titanium Silver, Mint Blue, and Vibrant Orange colour options.
Soundpeats. It's a name you've probably never heard of. In a market saturated with earbuds of all price points, features, and quality, it's easy to understand why you've probably never heard of this company. Let me see if I can rectify that. I've tested several of Soundpeats' budget-friendly earbuds, and have always come away impressed. Whether they're at the bottom end of the pricing spectrum or veer toward the midrange, Soundpeats' earbuds and headphones never fail to impress me.
Many Echo Show owners have been frustrated for some time by unremovable ads on their devices. Ads suddenly appear between calendar, time, and family photos, sometimes in full-screen format. Amazon seems to be testing how far users will tolerate these measures. Now, the ads are even reaching pure Echo audio models. Alexa is Amazon's intelligent voice assistant, primarily used on Echo models. In addition to the various Echo Shows with displays, there are also Echos that function solely as speakers.
That's a great deal because, even though Meta released the Ray-Ban Meta (Gen 2) at the end of October, the last-gen glasses still offer great value. They're largely similar, offering much of the same experience - letting you play music, take photos, record 1080p video, and even livestream to Facebook or Instagram without pulling out your phone. And while the newer model shoots sharper 3K video at 30fps, both use the same 12-megapixel sensor so the image quality isn't noticeably different.
Most desks accumulate a scattered collection of control devices over time. There's the keyboard and mouse, maybe a Stream Deck for shortcuts, a volume knob for your speakers, a phone running smart home apps, and a separate remote for the desk lamp. Each solves a specific problem, but together they create a landscape of disconnected gadgets competing for space and attention. The monitor sits above it all, while everything underneath becomes a tangled mess of cables and redundant functions.
It turns out that it actually means something. There's a standardized color scheme that communicates information about that device's capabilities. Mind blown? If you never noticed this, you're not alone. Most USB devices work fine on any compatible port, but they may not be optimized for optimal performance. For example, if you've noticed a mouse seems to work better in one port over another, it's not in your head. One probably supports USB 3.0, and the other doesn't.
Logitech's CEO says that AI-powered devices are a solution looking for a problem, despite being a strong proponent of AI and her firm pushing out exactly the kind of thing she's talking about. In an interview with Bloomberg, Hanneke Faber, head of the Swiss mouse and webcam maker, dismissed efforts of other hardware companies to build AI into their gadgets. "What's out there is a solution looking for a problem that doesn't exist," she reportedly told Bloomberg.
Pixar's adorable hopping lamp has been brought to life - and he could soon be lighting up your own desk at home. Developed by California firm Interaction Labs, Ongo the robotic smart lamp can move, see, hear and even talk. A promo clip shows the 'ambient desk lamp companion robot' peering curiously at objects and people around him while giving help around the home. And to allay any privacy concerns, he even comes with a pair of sunglasses blocking his view.
The sound engineering that went into this small speaker is all about getting bass response that usually needs much bigger drivers and enclosures. JBL tuned the parts inside to make what they call "punchy bass" which means that you can feel the low-end frequencies instead of just hearing the tinny mids and highs. A single driver and passive radiators in the speaker boost the bass without needing extra power or space.
I tested the 16-inch, loaded with 32GB of DDR5-5600 RAM, 512GB of local storage, and an AMD Ryzen Pro 350 CPU, running at 5 GHz, a solid configuration for a pro device, with plenty of bandwidth for multitasking, running industry-standard productivity apps, local AI tasks, and a nice selection of I/O. Also: Why I'd choose this HP Windows laptop over a MacBook for work - especially at its latest price
Released in China for the 2025 holiday season, the Starbucks Retro Digital Camera comes with dual sensors, vintage filters, and a design aesthetic borrowed from classic rangefinder cameras. At 198 yuan (roughly $28), it undercuts almost every digital camera on the market while offering features like proper selfie framing through its rear sensor and Y2K photo overlays. The metal-and-leather construction in burgundy-gold or green-silver colorways suggests Starbucks contracted with an established camera manufacturer rather than creating novelty electronics from scratch.

So why not give your faves, your absolute bangers, your cream of the crop the justice they deserve by blasting your songs over a brand new JBL Flip 7 Bluetooth speaker? A mazon actually has the portable speaker on sale at the moment for 27% off.
If you're creating content for TikTok or Instagram Reels, there's one small tweak you can add to your workflow that will dramatically elevate your results: get a microphone. Seriously. Many creators overlook how crucial solid audio is. Whether you're shooting laid-back vlogs from your couch or doing those man-on-the-street style interviews, viewers will pick up on your sound quality. They might not consciously notice it, but something about your video will just feel a bit lackluster. In most cases, it's the audio.
The QuietComfort headphones have microphones around each earcup that constantly pick up sounds from the outside world and they make sound waves that are opposite to the noise that is coming in, which cancels it out before it gets to your ears. This active noise cancellation works over a wide range of frequencies and gets rid of everything from the low rumble of airplane engines to the mid-frequency chatter of people talking in an office.
That's the idea behind the Tuneshine Album Art Display, which may become your newest favorite piece of technology. Created by Tobias Butler and lovingly assembled by hand in the USA, this charming little display brings a touch of vintage record store vibes into the streaming age. It basically shows off the album artwork of the song or album that's currently playing. But if you're not using it, it can also serve as an image display device.
Approximately 90% of the homes and businesses that are in GFiber's network footprint can now receive symmetrical 20 Gbps speeds, the company announced this week. Additionally, the new, more efficient GFiber 20G ONT hardware is three times smaller than the previous version. The deployment of this new, next-generation ONT is the key to serving customers better than ever before, GFiber said in a blog post:
"We heard the feedback from the community, and with the launch of our new driver today, we are adding custom support for GeForce gamers' most played PhysX-accelerated games, enabling full performance on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs, in line with our existing PhysX support on prior-generation GPUs," says Nvidia.

Our collaboration with PORTER is a testament to our shared values and respect for craftsmanship-drawing inspiration from Japanese design characterised by simplicity and functionality."
Back in the spring, I first noticed Roka's new San Remo and San Remo Air sunglasses on some of its sponsored athletes racing in the year's earliest gravel events. They immediately stood out to me, not because they were super flashy, but rather because they were a pretty significant departure from the brand's typical aesthetic. Instead of the more angular shapes and somewhat in-your-face styling of Roka's existing sport models, the San Remo Air has curved lines and a more casual, but still performance-oriented look.
Those who prefer a cleaner setup can mount it on the wall just as well. It connects to your display (or other devices) using Bluetooth, so there are no cables or complicated steps to worry about. Once connected, it pushes bold, room-filling sound that surrounds you. It won't feel like the audio is just being blasted from the speaker, but instead, coming from all corners and every direction.
When a photographer donated two drones to Cal Fire's San Benito-Monterey Unit in 2021, the act of generosity launched a drone program that would break records and save lives. A team of Cal Fire drone pilots uses specialized technology to conduct prescribed burns, search for missing or injured individuals and keep emergency responders safe. The first pair of drones came without any guarantee that a drone program would get off the ground, figuratively or literally.

As part of PlayStation's Holiday Sale, the PSVR 2 Horizon Call of the Mountain Bundle is on sale for only $299 at Amazon/Walmart and $300 at PS Direct and other major retailers. Officially, this is a $100 discount, but at the start of 2025, this bundle still carried its original $600 price point. PlayStation permanently dropped the price of the PSVR 2 to $400 in February, and the current deal is the best ever for the impressive virtual reality headset for PS5 and PC.
The partnership aims to future-proof the iconic New York venue's digital footprint.

As Mariah Carey says religiously every single December - "It's tiiiime!" As we kick off the last month of the year and the holiday season, this LEGO build adds exactly the right spice to everyone's lives. Why buy a generic snow globe from Hallmark when you could make your own, asks The Brick Artist - the designer behind the Christmas Snow Globe currently gathering momentum on the LEGO Ideas website.
