Robot vacuum maker Narwal unveiled its new set of smart vacuum cleaners at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) with AI-powered features such as monitoring pets, finding valuable objects, and notifying users about misplaced toys. The company said that its new flagship Flow 2 robot vacuum has a rounded design and easy-lift tanks for better cleaning. The device uses two 1080p RGB cameras with a 136-degree field of view to map out the area and recognize different kinds of objects using AI models. Narwal said that through this tech stack, the vacuum cleaner has the ability to identify an unlimited number…

One of the prevailing trends of the 2025-26 season has been how limited trade interest has been for small, defensively deficient point guards making max salaries. The Ja Morant rumors came and went with only a few teams known to have had interest. Ditto LaMelo Ball. It says quite a bit about this market that the only team consistently linked to these players is Sacramento. That has little to do with Sacramento’s material circumstances. The whole basketball world just thinks the Kings are far enough behind league-wide roster-building trends to trade for players other teams don’t want.Trae Young falls right…

My biggest gripe about open-ear buds is that they’re rotten for loud city commutes. Cue a pedantic audiophile pointing out that the whole premise of open-ear buds is to not block out sound. Yes, yes. But the unfortunate truth is that often means if you want open-ear buds for one situation, you’ll have to buy a second pair for when the train is screeching along the subway tracks while the local mariachi band starts busking in your car.So I was intrigued when Shokz reached out to say at CES 2026, its new $249.95 OpenFit Pro buds would have “noise cancellation.”Technically,…

Nearly a year ago, DeepSeek shook the AI world. Stocks of some of the leading Western tech companies plunged as the markets hit panic mode at the prospect of a new model from a relatively unheard of Chinese AI lab that challenged the premise of U.S. dominance in the space.Nvidia plummeted 17%, losing close to $600 billion from its market cap. U.S. chipmaker Broadcom also fell 17%, and ASML dropped 7% in a single day.Eleven months on, and those companies have not just recovered but continued to grow. Nvidia became the first company to hit a $5 trillion valuation in October,…

Hyundai is not claiming that robots will take over the world, or save mankind, but on Monday at CES it may have just cracked a load-bearing pillar of investor confidence in Elon Musk and Tesla.  Hyundai simply makes way, way, way, more cars than Tesla. Over the last three years, Hyundai sold roughly 7 million cars per year globally, while Tesla hovered around 1.8 million sales per year over that same period. What makes Tesla, not Hyundai, the darling of Wall Street isn’t the company’s present day output, but the business narratives that make investors want to buy in with…

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Montana State finally found a way to answer when it mattered most for the program’s first national championship since 1984.A year ago, Montana State missed winning its first title in 40 years when a slow start doomed it in a shootout loss to North Dakota State. Two years ago, the Bobcats’ season ended in Bozeman in the quarterfinals on a blocked extra point in overtime against the Bison.Montana State started this season losing its first two — at Oregon and a double-overtime defeat at home to South Dakota State.So, when Myles Sansted’s extra point went through the…

Father Mike Schmitz, a Catholic priest and podcaster, addressed his congregation of more than 1.2 million YouTube subscribers in November with an unusual kind of homily. You couldn’t always trust the words coming out of his mouth, Schmitz said, because sometimes they weren’t really his words—or his mouth. Schmitz had become the target of AI-generated impersonation scams.“You’re being watched by a demonic human,” said the fake Schmitz in one video that the real Schmitz, wearing an L.L. Bean jacket over his clerical suit, included in his public service announcement as an example. “You must act quickly, because the spots for…

Saks Global ended 2025 in a bind. Now, 2026 is shaping up to be its make-or-break year.The struggling US retail company kicked off the year with a CEO switch-up. On January 2, Marc Metrick, who had been at the company for 30 years, stepped down, to be replaced by executive chairman Richard Baker (who now holds both roles). The news came amid reports that Saks Global is preparing to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy after the company missed its latest debt payment of $100 million on 30 December. Saks declined to comment.“Saks is not working financially. It has far too…

Just like last year, NVIDIA has used some of its time on the CES stage to introduce an upgraded version of its real-time image-upscaling technology. The new DLSS 4.5 promises sharper visuals with the 2nd Generation Super Resolution Transformer, which the company says will deliver better temporal stability, reduced ghosting and improved anti-aliasing. The DLSS 4.5 also includes Dynamic Multi Frame Generation, which maximizes frame per second to monitor refresh rate, delivering up to 4K 240Hz path traced performance.The 2nd Gen Transformer Super Resolution is available now for all RTX GPUs, while the Dynamic 6x Frame Generation will arrive some…
