Robot vacuum companies are once again out in full force at CES 2026, giving their devices a new set of intriguing — and sometimes unsettling — capabilities. This year, Chinese appliance maker Dreame is showing off a vacuum prototype with giant legs that can climb up and down an entire flight of stairs.The concept, called the Cyber X, was previewed last year at IFA in Berlin. The vacuum sports a somewhat terrifying set of legs with rubber treads that allow it to autonomously navigate multi-story environments. While Dreame has previously shown off vacuums that can move up smaller steps, it…

Following in the footsteps of many an onscreen May-December romance (The Idea of You, Babygirl, Marty Supreme), Mysterious Skin’s Gregg Araki serves up a darkly sexy riff on the sub-genre. In it, Licorice Pizza’s Cooper Hoffman is an eager-to-please young man who lands a dream job with a provocative artist (Olivia Wilde) who enlists him as her sexual muse, drawing him into a world of sadomasochistic sex, depravity, knotty power dynamics, obsession, betrayal, and murder. Considering former Vogue sex columnist Karley Sciortino is a co-writer, and the supporting cast includes Charli XCX, Daveed Diggs, and Chase Sui Wonders, this should…

It’s always refreshing when the new version of a product gets significantly better battery life than the last. And that’s the case with the Moto Tag 2: Motorola’s second-gen tracker tag can go more than 500 days before it needs a new battery. That’s almost a year and a half that you can forget about charging at least one of your gadgets.The Moto Tag 2 taps into Google’s Find Hub network to help track down your stuff. It also comes with UWB sensing for precise location tracking — a feature that wasn’t supported at launch on the first Moto Tag…

Sometimes, if you’re a college football fan, it’s not wise to get upset or angry when a player enters the transfer portal. Because the door isn’t closed until it is.One of the surprise transfer portal entries this cycle has been Michigan football right guard Jake Guarnera, who had indicated during the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl prep that he was excited about Kyle Whittingham and the new era for the maize and blue. However, as the Wolverines took a few days to get new offensive line coach Jim Harding in place, Guarnera decided to test the waters outside of Ann Arbor.AdvertisementHowever, on…

I tried, but I couldn’t tease even a hint out of the Motorola spokespeople I talked to: How much will the Razr Fold cost?Here’s what Motorola is willing to say right now: The Razr Fold comes with a 6.6-inch outer screen, an 8.1-inch 2K LTPO inner display, three 50-megapixel rear cameras, one 32-megapixel selfie camera on the cover screen side, and a 20-megapixel camera on the inner screen. It will work with a new Moto Pen Ultra stylus, and it’ll be sold in North America sometime this summer. That’s it! Motorola emphasized that this is an early look at what…

This week in Las Vegas, tech companies at CES 2026 are unveiling the latest wearable health devices — glucose monitors, blood pressure trackers, fitness trackers. Probably not mentioned at the show is that these gadgets might be creating a massive environmental problem. It isn’t something that tends to get much attention, but a new study from Cornell University and the University of Chicago found that by 2050, demand for health wearables could hit 2 billion units per year, or 42 times more than today. Unless we change how they’re made, these devices could generate over a million tons of electronic…

The Baltimore Ravens are making a major organizational change, as the franchise fired coach John Harbaugh Tuesday after 18 seasons. The move comes after the Ravens finished the 2025 campaign with an 8-9 record — just Harbaugh’s third losing season in Baltimore — and failed to reach the postseason after opening the year with major expectations. Baltimore had a chance to clinch the AFC North title on Sunday night, but lost the win-and-in Week 18 showdown against the rival Pittsburgh Steelers, 26-24, on a last-second missed field goal. Harbaugh, who was under contract through 2028 after signing a new three-year deal…

Elon Musk hasn’t stopped Grok, the chatbot developed by his artificial intelligence company xAI, from generating sexualized images of women. After reports emerged last week that the image generation tool on X was being used to create sexualized images of children, Grok has created potentially thousands of nonconsensual images of women in “undressed” and “bikini” photos.Every few seconds, Grok is continuing to create images of women in bikinis or underwear in response to user prompts on X, according to a WIRED review of the chatbots’ publicly posted live output. On Tuesday, at least 90 images involving women in swimsuits and…

How can you tell someone’s age? Is it A, their ability to find their way around anything more tech-y than sending an email and using a printer (guilty); B, whether or not they can recite all the lyrics to a Central Cee/Taylor Swift/Kool & the Gang song; or C, how wrinkly their faces are?Not that it matters one bit, but the answer is definitely not “C.” As a 56-year-old woman, I find it impossible to tell anyone’s age between about 25 and 40, so furrow-free are their foreheads, and as for the over 40s, from Sienna Miller to Demi Moore…
