Stop Wasting Money: 20 Pointless Kitchen Gadgets Chefs Warn Against

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-02-23 06:00:00

We all know how important preserving valuable kitchen space is. There's simply no room for single-function gadgets that are barely used, or worse, don't do much of anything at all. If you can't stand clutter -- and wasting money -- avoiding overrated and useless tools is a good place to start. To find out which kitchen tools aren't worth the space they occupy, I turned to five professional chefs. These career cooks are the ultimate authority on which kitchen gadgets should get the boot -- espec

So Long, Blue Screen of Death. Amazingly, You'll Be Missed

wired.com Craig Grannell 2026-02-22 05:37:17

For decades, the Blue Screen of Death, or BSOD to its friends, has instilled a mix of panic, dread, exasperation, and rage across countless Windows users. But now, Microsoft is getting ready to retire it. According to a Microsoft blog post, the Windows 11 crash screen—or, as the company puts it, “unexpected restart screen”—will soon adopt a distinctly more minimalist vibe. Along with scrapping the blue (in favor of a perhaps even more dread-inducing black), the revamp also ditches the sad face

The World Is Producing More Food than Ever—but Not for Long

wired.com Umair Irfan 2026-02-23 03:00:00

This story originally appeared on Vox and is part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Globally, humanity is producing more food than ever, but that harvest is concentrated in just a handful of breadbaskets. More than one-third of the world’s wheat and barley exports come from Ukraine and Russia, for example. Some of these highly productive farmlands, including major crop-growing regions in the United States, are on track to see the sharpest drops in harvests due to climate change. That’s bad n

Anthropic’s Claude AI became a terrible business owner in experiment that got ‘weird’

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2026-02-23 09:00:00

For those of you wondering if AI agents can truly replace human workers, do yourself a favor and read the blog post that documents Anthropic’s “Project Vend.” Researchers at Anthropic and AI safety company Andon Labs put an instance of Claude Sonnet 3.7 in charge of an office vending machine, with a mission to make a profit. And, like an episode of “The Office,” hilarity ensued. They named the AI agent Claudius, equipped it with a web browser capable of placing product orders and an email addr

Joe Maring / Android Authority At Google I/O 2024, Google introduced the world to “Ask Photos.” It was a new Gemini-powered search experience for Google Photos that would enable you to use natural language to easily find pictures in your library. The pitch sounded great and like a legitimately good use of AI. Unfortunately, Ask Photos’ implementation fell short.
