Vivobarefoot's Sensus Shoes Are Like Gloves for Your Feet

wired.com Scott Gilbertson 2025-12-18 12:00:00

Love them or hate them, barefoot shoes are polarizing. But they are becoming big business, both for fashion (a subject in which I am, admittedly, not an expert) and for health and wellness. This is a relatively recent development. Before 2019, I did what most of us do and wore highly padded shoes because that’s what modern shoe companies sold us. But I did have a long history of going barefoot, from growing up at the beach. Like most people who start looking into barefoot shoes, I started havin

I tried iOS 26 as an Android user, and my biggest issue has nothing to do with Liquid Glass

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-18 14:00:59

Ryan Haines / Android Authority I’m a Pixel guy, have been for years — everyone knows it. So, you can imagine I was pretty pleased when Google unveiled Material 3 Expressive, and it looked like a refinement of the Pixel UI design that I already loved. And then came Apple with its new Liquid Glass interface as part of iOS 26. Simply put, I thought it looked awful. It was hard to read, and the original glass effects looked clunky. Now, though, I’ve given iOS 26 a shot. I’ve loaded it onto my iP

AI Won’t Boost Human Productivity Yet, U.S. Federal Reserve Says

gizmodo.com Ece Yildirim 2025-12-18 16:00:13

Generative AI is not just another tech hype cycle that is bound to die down but is instead a game-changer for human productivity, according to the Federal Reserve. The big caveat, though, is the road to get there will be “inherently slow” and “fraught with risk.” In a recent paper published by the Fed Board of Governors, researchers suggest that the hype around generative AI is probably not a bubble in the long run and that the technology will be a serious macroeconomic force, proving to have r

The Apple Watch Series 11 Needs to Catch Up to the Galaxy Watch in One Key Area

I'm nearing the end of my first month with the Galaxy Watch 8 and Galaxy Watch 8 Classic, and for the first time in nearly a decade of reviewing wearables, I'm reluctant to switch back to the Apple Watch. That hesitation comes down to one surprising new addition: Gemini on the watch. Samsung's latest watches were the first to debut with Google's Gemini AI assistant, and the experience has left a lasting impression.

SteelSeries Arctis Nova 3P Review: A Big Upgrade From Budget Gaming Headsets

gizmodo.com James Pero 2025-12-19 03:00:57

Voice chatting in games is important; everyone who’s ever played a co-op shooter knows that. And as someone who plays dumb baby games like Fortnite constantly, I can attest. The thing about comms, or more specifically, in-game audio, is that it can be unstable, which is why investing in a gaming headset to minimize hiccups is key. On that front, I’ve been slacking; I’ve been using a terrible gaming headset that looks like a Fisher-Price version of a real one, which has gotten me by with a very b

"The competition for AGI—AI that surpasses humans at all cognitive tasks—is of fundamental geopolitical importance." That's The Economist, last week. Not some breathless tech blogger or venture capitalist talking their book. The world's most prestigious economic publication. Notice the framing - it treats AGI as a foregone geopolitical contest. They're not wrong about the competition. They're just wrong about what we're competing for. I started coding again last year. First time in 13 years.

It’s been little over a year since Scavengers Reign was canceled. Co-created by animator-producers Joseph Bennett and Charles Huettner, Scavengers Reign garnered a modest yet passionate fanbase and went on to earn an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Animated Program. Despite this, however, HBO Max—and by extension Warner Bros. Discovery, HBO Max’s parent company—chose not to renew the show for a second season, effectively canceling the series.
