Eight Sleep's recently-launched Pod 5 system does that and more with AI and a new cooling/heating blanket to complete its dual-sided mattress cover and adjustable base. CNET’s sleep team has lo

Pokemon TCG Pocket's Eevee Grove Expansion Has Convinced My Partner to Play

I've been locked in on Pokemon TCG Pocket since day 1, and despite some reservations about how quickly new set expansions have been released, I log in at least twice a day to open my free packs. My girlfriend, on the other hand, stopped playing the game shortly after it came out. I was hoping that I could keep her engaged as my trading card buddy -- we met through playing Pokemon Go on the same college campus, and I pulled out my physical card collection during one of our first dates (I know, v

Amazon Wants Denis Villeneuve’s ‘Bond’ Movie as Soon as Possible

Now that we know a Denis Villeneuve-helmed Bond reboot is officially coming, there’s a very obvious next question: who’s gonna step into the role of 007? A new report from Variety suggests some of the top contenders, and the selection of actors in the running is fascinatingly mixed, at least in the sense that the character is traditionally played by a Brit. Australian-born Jacob Elordi, star of Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming Frankenstein for Netflix, is a strong pick and stands apart from the re

Your TV's USB port is seriously underutilized: 5 features you're not taking advantage of

Adam Breeden/ZDNET After the initial setup, most people rarely engage directly with their smart TV. With wireless connectivity, phone apps, and remote controls, there's little need to. Tucked next to the essential HDMI ports, a USB 2.0 port -- likely sitting unnoticed on the back or side panel -- offers more potential than you might expect.

I have yet to find any Android tablet that I love more than the Pixel Tablet

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority It’s been two years (and a few days) since Google released the Pixel Tablet, and I’ve been using it since that very first day. At the time, I thought Google’s approach to an Android tablet was pretty weird but intriguing. Always-on, always ready, not really a Nest Hub, nor as powerful as the best Android tablets — it felt like a bit of a Frankenstein product that would only win the hearts of a small niche of users. I was part of that niche, and two years late

Why is the Rust compiler so slow?

"Why is the Rust compiler so slow?" I spent a month repeatedly building my website in Docker, and now have horrors to share. I've got a problem. My website (the one you're reading right now) is mainly served by a single Rust binary. For far too long now, every time I wanted to make a change, I would: Build a new statically linked binary (with --target=x86_64-unknown-linux-musl ) Copy it to my server Restart the website This is... not ideal.
