engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-18 19:00:35

Whether you’re a true cord-cutter or you just want to watch the next season of Stranger Things when it drops, everyone’s on the lookout for streaming deals nowadays. Plenty have chosen VOD and live TV streaming services over traditional cable in recent years, but the savings that choice got you just a few years ago have somewhat evaporated now. Companies like Netflix, Disney, Max and others have been consistently raising prices to the point where you may question if streaming is even worth it an

Eufy’s Marswalker Is the First Robot Vacuum Designed to Climb a Full Flight of Stairs

Stairs are the enemy of robot vacuums everywhere. There isn’t currently a single robot vacuum on the market that can climb a flight of stairs without human assistance. Even the best robot vacuums we recommend for their ability to cross obstacles, like the Dreame X50 Ultra and Roborock Saros Z70, can only handle thresholds between two and three inches. Eufy’s Marswalker may be the first robot vacuum to truly be able to tackle this problem. It’s a robot vacuum that looks a bit like a wheeled Mars

WSJ explores the niche markets benefiting from the Apple Vision Pro

By now, you probably know it by heart: the steep price tag and lack of apps have irreparably doomed the first Apple Vision Pro. But that doesn’t mean it’s not doing well in niche markets and uses, per a new WSJ report. If you’ve been following the immersive market at all, you’re probably familiar with the fact that even though the Google Glass was far from a hit, it lived on for years as a hands-free industrial and healthcare assistant.

Threat actors abuse X’s Grok AI to spread malicious links

Threat actors are using Grok, X's built-in AI assistant, to bypass link posting restrictions that the platform introduced to reduce malicious advertising. As discovered by Guardio Labs' researcher Nati Tal, mavertisers often run sketchy video ads containing adult content baits and avoid including a link to the main body to avoid being blocked by X. Instead, they hide it in the small "From:" metadata field under the video card, which apparently isn't scanned by the social media platform for mal

Venezuela Claims Trump’s Video of Strike Against Suspected Drug Smugglers Is AI

gizmodo.com Matt Novak 2025-10-19 03:10:04

President Donald Trump announced Tuesday that his government had conducted a “kinetic strike” against suspected drug smugglers from Venezuela in a boat traveling in the Caribbean. The strike killed 11 people, according to Trump, and he claims they were all gang members. None of those points has been confirmed, and drug smuggling is not a capital offense, making Trump’s strike almost certainly illegal under international law. But Venezuela had a rather interesting reply. A government minister is

Once a favorite on university campuses, The Onion hadn’t published a physical issue since 2013. Common wisdom said that readership, and advertising dollars, just weren’t there for newspapers. But Collins, a fan of the satirical paper since childhood, thought “that’s dumb.” Readers celebrated The Onion’s relaunch and the ability to read all of its bitingly funny head
