This all-in-one cleaner from Tineco has lots of bells and whistles. It's easy to set up and easy to use, though I had to read the instructions a few times to make sure I understood all the different modes and options. Press the power button and it'll start up in Auto mode, which detects how dirty the floor is and automatically adjusts steam output as needed. Use Steam Mode to deep clean, and Boost mode for stubborn spots and stains. Using the companion smartphone app, which requires 2.4GHz Wi-Fi

Tesla Shutting Down Its AI Supercomputer As Staff Leaves in Droves to Join Competitor

As sales continue to plummet worldwide, Tesla is giving up on building an in-house supercomputer for computer vision processing as part of its advanced driver assistance system. As Bloomberg reports, the head of the project, dubbed Dojo and which CEO Elon Musk used to hype up immensely, is leaving the company. The team has already lost around 20 workers to a separate data center firm that's been poaching former Tesla executives. The rest of the team will reportedly be reassigned to other data

This is the first thing I set up after pairing my Samsung phone with a Galaxy Watch

Zac Kew-Denniss / Android Authority Samsung smartphones are crammed full of valuable features, from One UI’s readymade tools to Good Lock’s downloadable bounty. One example that I’ve taken full advantage of is Modes and Routines. First launched in 2022 as Bixby Routines, the feature allows users to create and initiate a series of settings based on conditions. This allows wide-ranging automatic control of one’s phone and, more importantly for Galaxy Watch users, their smartwatches. Suppose you

The pixel that refused to die: LG Display’s 15-year OLED journey and the screen that changed everything

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-29 10:57:15

Deep within LG Display’s Paju facility, in a room most employees have forgotten exists, sits a 15-inch screen that shouldn’t be working. When engineers fired it up last month for a heritage documentation project, they expected perhaps a flicker and maybe some color degradation—the inevitable decay of organic compounds exposed to fifteen years of molecular entropy. Instead, the display blazed to life with colors so vivid and blacks so profound that the measurement equipment had to be recalibrate

Car has more than 1.2M km on it – and it's still going strong

A Nova Scotia man is the proud owner of a 1985 Toyota Tercel. Despite being 40 years old, the car is in mint condition. But there is one thing wrong with it: the odometer doesn't go up high enough. The CBC's Frances Willick explains. If you were to spot Andy Campbell's ride on the road, you might not think too much about it. Maybe you'd think it's a bit dated — a throwback to an earlier time when cassette tapes were all the rage and backup cameras were just a glimmer in a car designer's eye.

New Study Finds Smartwatches Aren’t That Good at Measuring Stress

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-12-29 06:05:21

Some health enthusiasts swear by smartwatches as a way to monitor stress levels, but a recent study calls into question that common usage. The study, published in the Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science, claims that such watches display a very limited ability to actually communicate what a person’s psychological state is. Sometimes, a watch may think the user is stressed when they’re really just excited about something, researchers say. The report looked at nearly 800 students who w

Cybertruck Leads Tesla’s Used-Car Collapse

The Tesla Cybertruck was supposed to be the future. Unveiled in a now-infamous 2019 event where its supposedly “bulletproof” windows shattered on stage, the sci-fi pickup, with its polarizing stainless-steel design, was hyped by CEO Elon Musk as an indestructible vehicle that would completely disrupt the lucrative truck market. Today, that future looks like a commercial flop. Prices for used Cybertrucks are in a freefall, a stunning collapse that has become the most visible symbol of the deep a

A few years ago I had some pain on the top right side of my right foot that wouldn't go away so I went to a podiatrist to get it checked out.

Encryption made for police and military radios may be easily cracked

Why You Need an Outdoor Air Quality Monitor (2025)

There are real health benefits to owning an air quality monitor. Each US state is responsible for developing its own monitoring plan.

Nathan Drescher / Android Authority YouTube has been a part of my life since its early days in the late 00s. It’s no secret that today’s YouTube is a far cry from what it used to be. YouTube was free back then; free from subscriptions, free from ads, even free from terrible video suggestions. It was raw and real. Now when we open the app we’re bombarded with pop-ups and ads and the algorithm is awful at surfacing stuff we want to watch. So like many of you, I went searching for a replacement.
