If you’d told me a year ago that I’d come to love a robot vacuum cleaner, I would’ve laughed at you. And yet that’s exactly what’s happened with the $650 Roborock S7, a combined vacuum cleaner and mop. It is one of the few gadgets I’ve tested lately that I can actually say made my life better.

But is it one of the most energy-efficient coding languages out there? Not really.

And it’s a problem for cities, law enforcement, and carmakers. This week, it was... Read more ›

The world of cryptocurrency is a bespoke financial wonderland where timing is everything and nothing is certain. The moment you think you’ve got a handle on the market, a billionaire tweets out a meme and you’re thrust toward one margin or another. Fans of rollercoasters and thrill-rides may enjoy the experience, but investors genuinely looking for a way out from underneath the oppression of centralized currency and banking might wish...

Stock photos are the bane of many marketers and designers. The heavyweight image providers are prohibitively pricey, while the affordable ones could lead to a concerned call from HR.

President Biden seems to be all about electrifying America and pushing for EV adoption, but there are some people who feel seriously left out: our dear Elon Musk and… his mom. Last Wednesday, the president attended GM’s Factory Zero grand opening in Michigan and even had some fun behind the wheel of a 2022 GMC Hummer EV pickup. During his speech, Biden praised GM CEO Mary Barra for driving the... Read more ›

But the journey has already taken a long time, and it might not be complete for another two years. Over the weekend, Antigone Davis, Meta‘s global director of safety, said the company is taking its time... Read more ›

In a move clearly inspired by the hyperrealistic movie Armageddon, NASA has decided to attack an asteroid. The space agency, however, has recklessly overlooked Michael Bay’s ingenious idea of training oil drillers to become astronauts. Nor will the NASA nerds follow the director’s advice of blasting the rock with a nuclear bomb. Instead, they want to smack it with a spacecraft. Life disregarding art Smaller asteroids frequently strike the Earth,... Read more ›
