This No-Subscription Smart Ring Shamed Me Into Changing My Unhealthy Habits

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-08-30 16:00:13

As a veteran smartwatch and fitness tracker reviewer, it's rare that I get to approach a product with a completely fresh set of eyes, but that's what happened with the Ultrahuman Ring Air. This was the first smart ring I had ever tested, and in some ways, that made me the perfect person to review it. I approached it not as a seasoned biohacker, but as someone experiencing it the way most buyers would: curious, a little skeptical, and wondering whether it could replace my smartwatch. Better yet,

The latest threat from the rise of Chinese manufacturing

Though the nuances of the research are often ignored, the results help explain at least some of today's political unrest. It’s reflected in rising calls for US protectionism, President Trump’s broad tariffs on imported goods, and nostalgia for t

Robert Triggs / Android Authority When WhatsApp changed its terms in 2021, I was one of the many users who looked for alternative messaging apps for Android. While I had heard about Signal before, the controversial move by WhatsApp prompted me to actually try the app out. I loved it then and I still love it now.

Overclocking LLM Reasoning: Monitoring and Controlling LLM Thinking Path Lengths

We focus on reasoning models that explicitly segment their computations using <think> and </think> tokens (e.g., DeepSeek-R1), allowing us to study the internal dynamics of the "thinking phase." 1.

Do You Really Learn When You Use AI? What MIT Researchers Found

Your brain works differently when you're using generative AI for a task than when you use your brain alone. Namely, you're less likely to remember what you did. That's the somewhat obvious-sounding conclusion of an MIT study that looked at how people think when they write an essay -- one of the earliest scientific studies of how using gen AI affects us.
