I was told to be ready for anything before my daughter was born. I didn’t realize that included being at the ready to constantly fix her electronic toys. Do you know the horrors of the eKids Disney Frozen toy microphone? Well, now I’m an expert at tinkering with it. It wouldn’t have been as easy without Hoto’s 3.7V 25-in-1 Mini Electric Screwdriver, which is down to an all-time low of $28.49 (about $22 off) at Amazon.

Study: Apple’s newest AI model flags health conditions with up to 92% accuracy

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-02-17 14:10:07

A new Apple-supported study argues that your behavior data (movement, sleep, exercise, etc.) can often be a stronger health signal than traditional biometric measurements like heart rate or blood oxygen. To prove it, the researchers developed a foundation model trained on behavioral data collected from wearables, and it performed surprisingly well. Here are the details.

The ChompSaw: A Benchtop Power Tool That's Safe for Kids to Use

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-02-13 12:43:22

Of all freestanding power tools, perhaps the jigsaw or scrollsaw would be the most fun for kids to use, as they allow freeform cuts. They're also pretty darn dangerous, with the jigsaw being powerful enough to remove fingers. A much safer way to introduce kids to power tools is this ChompSaw, developed by product designers Kausi Raman and Max Liechty. The material it's designed to cut is cardboard, allowing parents to turn Amazon boxes into projects. The tool is essentially a nibbler, using an

The fictional Squid Game as we know it is over—for now, at least—but Netflix would like you to remember that it has an offshoot reality competition that’s still very much active. On the heels of announcing that Squid Game: The Challenge season two will drop November 4, the streamer has also let it be known it’s now accepting applications for season three.

Best Carpet Cleaners: I Used Real Life Messes as the Ultimate Test

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-02-17 12:45:00

The Bissell Revolution HydroSteam is the best overall carpet cleaner I tested. It was the only carpet washer that effectively removed pet urine and pet odors from my carpet. It also came in second to the Tineco Carpet Cruiser with tough stain removal. But for $300 less than the Tineco, its price-to-value ratio is unbeatable. Why I like it: While the Tineco Carpet Cruiser edged out the Bissell HydroSteam on the tough stain removal test, the Bissell blew away the competition on pet odor testing.

A Bold Mission to Hunt for Aliens on Venus Is Actually Happening

A UK-based mission is aiming to settle, once and for all, whether life exists on Venus. The mission plans to send a probe to the planet in search of microbial life, not on the surface, of course, but in the Venusian clouds. Over the past half-decade, scientists have detected the presence of phosphine and ammonia—two potential signs of biological activity—in Venus’s clouds. On Earth, both gases are produced only by biological activity and industrial processes, and scientists are unsure of their
