For Chinese companies, the bet is that lower prices and more AI features will persuade people to wear smart glasses all day, recording their lives through constant video and audio. If you lower the price to around $200, “people will start to use them every day,” says Brian Chen, general manager of Appotronics’ innovation center. That shift would raise obvious privacy and security concerns that both Rokid and Appotronics have acknowledged, but they see the potential payoff as worth the risk.From Vacuums to CarsSeveral major Chinese electric vehicle companies, including Geely and Great Wall Motor, brought their cars to CES,…

Frances Howie’s sophomore Fforme collection was about escaping the city in pursuit of sun, sand, and liberation from the grid. Using the spring lineup as the starting point for her first pre-fall, Howie achieved marvelous effects through expert pattern cutting and thoughtful fabric selection. The result is carefully considered pieces that look effortlessly simple. “It’s not really minimalism, it’s sort of like bringing a bit of femininity back,” noted the designer, whose training includes a stint working with Alber Elbaz at Lanvin.A top paired with a creased pair of gently swelling pants that gather at the ankle was essentially two…

Last year Razer showed off Project Ava as a digital assistant that lived inside your computer to help adjust settings or provide gaming tips. But now at CES 2026, the company’s AI companion platform has gotten a major glow-up while moving into some new digs.Now, in lieu of being constrained entirely to your PC’s screen, Razer has given Project Ava a real home in the form of a small tube that can display a 5.5-inch animated hologram of the AI’s avatar.

No. 1-seed Indiana football is set to take on No. 5-seed Oregon in the Peach Bowl, a College Football Playoff semifinal, on Friday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia and fans previewing the game seem to have a strong favorite.A pretty solid majority of national college football fans who responded to an SB Nation Reacts Survey picked the Hoosiers to beat the Ducks:There’s a pretty interesting wrinkle to this matchup given it’s a rematch of a game in the regular season.

NSO Group, one of the most well-known and controversial makers of government spyware, released a new transparency report on Wednesday, as the company enters what it described as “a new phase of accountability.” But the report, unlike NSO’s previous annual disclosures, lacks details about how many customers the company rejected, investigated, suspended, or terminated due to human rights abuses involving its surveillance tools. While the report contains promises to respect human rights and have controls to demand its customers do the same, the report provides no concrete evidence supporting either.  Experts and critics who have followed NSO and the spyware…

you’ve probably seen a smart bird feeder or know someone who has one. They’re fairly recognizable from a distance with their clear housing, cameras, and solar panels, and perhaps a friend or family member has sent you a photo or video of a bright goldfinch or handsome woodpecker (guilty). The question at this point, then, is whether these things are really worth the $100-plus price tag. Are they actually durable? And what about the squirrel problem?Lucky for you, we’ve been testing the most popular smart bird feeder models, including Netvue’s original Birdfy Lite feeder ($140) and Birdbuddy’s Pro ($179), for…

The Dribble Handoff often centers on the best teams, best players and best stories in college basketball. We often use this space to highlight big games, project postseason award winners or give love to mid-major darlings. But as we dive into the heart of conference play in early 2026, it’s time to look at the teams that are failing to meet the mark.Expectations are a dangerous dynamic in the NIL era.
