Best Robot Lawn Mowers: After Testing Mowers for Weeks I Discovered the 4 Worth Buying

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-18 23:00:00

Robot lawn mowers of yore started off using a boundary wire to determine where it could and could not go, and they were problematic. The boundary wire had to make a complete, unbroken circle. And if anything happened to the wire, you had problems. These days, robot mowers work via GPS, but it's GPS with a little bit extra in an RTK beacon. Scott Porteous, head of robotics for Husqvarna broke it down for me. Adam Doud/CNET GPS navigation GPS today is accurate down to a few feet. That's fine wh

Superman, the first big-screen release from James Gunn's rebranded DC Studios, commanded theaters when it premiered earlier this year. Whether you're interested in revisiting the superhero hit or you missed it when it was in theaters, the Man of Steel is coming to streaming. Color me excited. Gunn's movie, which he wrote and directed and is mostly inspired by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely's All-Star Superman comic, is a joyful homage to the iconic Kryptonian.

I’ve Spent Thousands of Hours Testing the Best 3D Printers. There Are Some Clear Winners

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-19 19:23:00

What I like: I rarely find a product that impresses me, but the A1 Combo from Bambu Lab left me genuinely amazed with its performance and value. This 3D printer is excellent, with fast, quality printing at a great price. Adding the AMS Lite elevates it to the best printer you can buy right now. Plus, its four-color printing capability for less than $700 is such a good deal; I'm still baffled by how the company pulls off that pricing. The CNET test print from the Bambu Lab A1 is nearly perfect.

How robotic beehives use AI to protect bees from climate change

cnbc.com Diana Olick 2025-09-20 00:18:01

Bees are critical for ensuring an abundant food supply year-round, but the bee population is in big trouble. More than one-third of the crops we eat are pollinated by bees, but 40% of bee colonies are collapsing each year, California-based Beewise said. One reason is climate change – specifically, stronger hurricanes, more frequent fires and the use of more pesticides. The wooden beehive was invented around 1850 for commercial pollination, but these basic boxes are not very protective and not

Tesla has been caught hiding details of three separate robotaxi accidents that happened since the launch of the service. As Electrek reports, the Elon Musk-led company reported the three crashes, which occurred in the early days of its pilot robotaxi service in Austin, to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA.) At the time, the company's robotaxi fleet of modified Model Y vehicles only consisted of "ten to 20" vehicles, according to Musk, which even had safety drivers sitti

Here's Why You Really Taste Wine Before a Server Pours for the Table

Wine service can feel intimidating if you're not experienced with the ritual. The swirling, sniffing, and polite approval after that small initial pour might seem like theater or a simple taste test. However, that preliminary sample serves a specific purpose: verifying the wine's quality. The initial pour allows you to detect whether the wine has spoiled. Bottles can occasionally deteriorate due to poor storage conditions or defective corks, resulting in what's known as "corked" wine. This flaw

DACLab says it can remove CO2 using less electricity than many competitors

The world’s countries may have pledged to cut its carbon pollution, but with global emissions reaching an all-time high last year they’ve fallen far short. Digging out of that hole is going to require removing carbon straight from the atmosphere. But it comes with a hefty price tag, mostly because of the energy required. Removing one metric ton of CO 2 using direct air capture is expected to require around 2,000 kWh of electricity when the technology is sorted and scaled up. One startup called
