When you turn on the faucet, you expect the water that comes out to be clean. When you go to the bank, you expect your money will still be there. When you go to the doctor, you expect they will keep your medical information private. Those expectations exist because there are rules to protect you. But when a technology arises almost overnight, the problems come first. The rules, you'd hope, would follow. Right now, there's no technology with more hype and attention than artificial intelligence.

CNET Survey: 64% of People Say 'No Thanks' to Foldable Smartphones

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-01-09 05:00:17

Foldables have been a staple of the smartphone release cycle for years now, with offerings from companies like Samsung, Motorola and Google. But despite the refreshingly unique form factor in a sea of mobile uniformity, the vast majority of consumers still aren't interested. According to a CNET survey, 64% of respondents say they aren't willing or interested in buying a foldable smartphone in the next year, while just 13% say they are. Another 20% aren't sure if they want a foldable, and only 3

Nevoya raises $9.3M as its EV truck fleet reaches cost parity with diesel

techcrunch.com Kirsten Korosec 2026-01-09 06:00:00

Los Angeles-based Nevoya came out of stealth last year with the ambitious goal of breaking the EV truck adoption logjam. Nevoya made enough progress on its goal to attract investors — and a $9.3 million seed round — to help it move even faster. The young company, which buys electric trucks and offers them to shippers, is now carrying goods for 10 different Fortune 500 companies. More importantly, it’s offering services as a carrier to those companies in California at cost parity with similar-si

This startup thinks email could be the key to usable AI agents

techcrunch.com Rebecca Bellan 2026-01-09 11:06:48

AI companies are pushing agents as the next Great Workplace Disruptor, but experts say they’re still not ready for prime time. AI agents often struggle to make decisions by themselves, hallucinate frequently, can’t cooperate with other agents, fail at confidentiality awareness, and integrate poorly with existing systems. Industry pioneers like Andrej Karpathy and Ali Ghodsi have said that, like the deployment of autonomous vehicles, humans need to be in the loop in order for agents to succeed.

Please, Motorola, give us the Moto 360 we deserve

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-09 22:00:52

I loved the old Moto 360 — the original, not the 2019 reboot. The funny thing is, though, I never actually had one, I just liked what it stood for. It was a sign of smartwatches becoming more like everyday wearables, accessories to be shown off rather than simply tracking steps and telling the time. Then, just as I was in a position to try a Moto 360 for myself, Motorola axed it from the family and dove back into the smartwatch dark ages. Now, it might be back. According to a leak from Android

How to Build a Functional Smart Home When You’ll Never Own a House Yourself

Ah, yes, the American dream. A house with a white picket fence, a dog, and as many products as you can pile into a pickup truck that you paid for in cash, which I’m told is a type of green paper you can exchange for goods and services. Sounds nice; sounds normal; sounds totally and completely out of reach.

Superman Saving a Squirrel Was Cut Out of the Movie, but James Gunn Put It Back In

There are plenty of weird and unexpected moments in James Gunn’s Superman, but one of the most unexpected has to be when he saves a squirrel in the middle of a giant battle. Not a human, not a group of animals, but a single, solitary squirrel. It speaks to the character’s kindness and respect for all life in a fun, quirky way, but apparently not everyone liked it. “It was probably the second- or third-most hotly debated moment in the movie,” Gunn said in a wide-ranging interview with Rolling St

Hidden Sensors Reveal Filthy Truth About Handwashing in Hospital Bathrooms

Here’s something that will make you lose just a bit more faith in humanity—or at least reach for some hand wipes. New research shows that even in hospitals, a substantial number of people aren’t bothering to wash their hands. Scientists from the University of Surrey in England led the study, installing sensors near hospital toilet and sink pipes to keep track of people’s handwashing. Nearly half of toilet users skipped the sink after flushing, they found. The researchers say more effective stra

Instead it's a solid midranger, offering decent performance and a host of quirky features for a relatively affordable price.
