China’s Smart Glasses Are Once Again Going All the Way Off

gizmodo.com James Pero 2026-01-08 10:00:14

There are officially too many wild pairs of smart glasses coming out of China to keep track of. First, it was Xiaomi with its Ray-Ban-stomping pair of glasses that can record 45 minutes of consecutive video and boast an 8.5-hour battery life. Then, just last week, a company called Wigain announced a breakthrough in making mass-producible smart glasses with optical waveguide lenses. Those, I might add, also feel very Meta-killing. Now, it’s Alibaba’s turn, or it’s about to be if rumors are to be

This aerogel and some sun could make saltwater drinkable

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-01-08 10:00:52

Earth is about 71 percent water. An overwhelming 97 percent of that water is found in the oceans, leaving us with only 3 percent in the form of freshwater—and much of that is frozen in the form of glaciers. That leaves just 0.3 percent of that freshwater on the surface in lakes, swamps, springs, and our main sources of drinking water, rivers and streams. Despite our planet’s famously blue appearance from space, thirsty aliens would be disappointed. Drinkable water is actually pretty scarce. As

The New ‘Long Walk’ Trailer Promises a Grim, Nightmarish Stephen King Survival Tale

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2026-01-08 15:16:04

Author Stephen King and director Francis Lawrence are both known for deftly handling tales involving kids put through hell with no guarantee they’ll survive. Think the Losers’ Club in It for King and every young person to appear in a Hunger Games movie for Lawrence. So to combine their talents on The Long Walk, based on King’s 1979 dystopian novel, feels rather ideal—not to mention nightmarish, as the film’s brutal first trailer suggested.

A Creepy Corn Maze Awaits at the ‘Clown in a Cornfield’ Activation

Clown in a Cornfield is a million-dollar title—so eerie, so evocative, and so perfectly descriptive of Eli Craig‘s horror movie, which hit theaters earlier this year. It’s headed to Shudder and AMC+ August 8, but even if you’ve been waiting to catch it on streaming, there’s much to scream about with its San Diego Comic-Con immersive experience. Why?

UK’s New Age Verification Requirement Thwarted in the Simplest Way Imaginable

There’s just one little problem. As The Verge notes, all it takes to defeat the age-gating is a VPN, and those aren’t hard to come by these days.
