Amazon’s September 2025 hardware event: all the news and announcements

theverge.com Jay Peters 2025-10-01 04:30:00

Based on the company’s own event invite, it seems like we can look forward to at least two new Echos, a new color Kindle, and some kind of TV hardware. Amazon might also share new information about Alexa Plus, its AI-powered revamp of Alexa that launched earlier this year. And the company used to announce all kinds of Alexa-enabled products at its fall events, so perhaps Amazon will bring some of that chaotic energy to this show as well.

Amazon-owned Zoox will start mapping the streets of Washington D.C. as it ramps up to begin testing its self-driving vehicles in the nation’s capital this year. Zoox said in a blog post on Tuesday that it would begin by manually driving Toyota Highlanders equipped with its sensors and self-driving software to map the city.

Why I skipped Nest cams and got this excellent, no subscription $50 security cam instead

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-01 07:30:54

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Google is gearing up to announce a range of new Nest Cams for your home, featuring 2K HDR video and Gemini integration. However, if history is any indication, I think you should look elsewhere. Security cameras are a dime a dozen these days, and many of them are so cheap that it’s ludicrous to consider something as expensive as a $100-200 Nest Cam. Better yet, many of these other cameras offer more controls, greater privacy, and more options than Google will e

Disqus turned my blog into an ad farm – So I killed it

Intro This will be a short and sweet post. As I’m not big on goodbyes. Disqus started showing ads for their “free” tier comments system a few years back. At the time, the communication they sent out via email, seemed quite laid-back and had the tone of “don’t worry about it, it’s not a big thing”. Which in part lead me to almost forget it happened.

Asus TUF Gaming T500 PC Review: Great for New PC Gamers

wired.com Brad Bourque 2025-10-01 08:00:00

Because it’s so easy to build a gaming desktop at home, companies making prebuilt machines need to offer either a great value or something unique. That’s why the Asus TUF T500 isn't technically a desktop PC, at least in the classic sense. Instead, it leverages a smaller motherboard and laptop CPU, reducing the overall footprint but dropping the ability to upgrade or repair some of the individual parts. Most notably, the T500 is sporting a full-size desktop GPU, which is the biggest determining

These waves come with excess—optimism, excitement, hype, and speculation.

Managing dotfiles with Make Make is an old tool, an assembly language of sorts for build systems. Many have tried to replace it. Many have tried to reinvent it. Most people prefer to avoid it if at all possible. So why use it to manage dotfiles of all things? There's at least one good reason to do this: make is ubiquitous.
