Robot Tries to Bust Dance Moves, Flames Out in Epic Disaster

Braving the dance floor in broad daylight — or even just when the overhead lights are on — frequently does not end well. Your clumsy moves, weird facial expressions, or catastrophic blunders will likely be captured by someone with their phone out, who will then quickly deliver the footage to potentially millions of eyeballs online. On that note, we now report that a robot has eaten dirt after trying to show off some of some dashing choreography — and seemingly had its soul sucked out of its cor

This humanoid robot can do cartwheels, handstands and roundhouse kicks at less than $6,000

For less than the price of a fully decked-out MacBook Pro, you can buy Unitree's latest humanoid robot called the R1. You only have to shell out $5,900 for a robot that weighs around 55 lbs, stands about four feet tall, and is built with a Large Multimodal Model to handle complex tasks. If you're wondering what the R1 will be used for, your guess is as good as ours. Unitree said its robot is "fully customizable" and demoed its capabilities in a video showing off cartwheels, handstands, boxing,

Premier League Summer Series: Stream Man United vs. West Ham From Anywhere

Below, we'll outline the best live TV streaming services to use to watch the game as it happens, wherever you are in the world, and how to use a VPN if it's not available where you are.

CookUnity Prepared Meal Delivery Review (2025): Chef-Centric Meals

It shouldn't be surprising if a plate of chicken lababdar tastes delicious. The dish is among my favorite North Indian gravies, a slightly edgier cousin of butter chicken that's a bit spicier and tangier but just as creamy. What was surprising was that this particular chicken had arrived in the mail. Specifically, it came in a microwaveable tray from CookUnity meal delivery service that looked a little like a white-label TV dinner—packed up earlier that morning in Seattle, then driven down to m

I Can't Stop Recommending This Window AC to Anyone Struggling to Survive Summer Heat Waves

CNET's key takeaways The Windmill AC normally costs $349 for 6,000 BTUs, but you can often find it on sale on Windmill's website Amazon Home Depot Not only is the Windmill AC the easiest unit I've ever installed, it's the only AC unit I've tried that effectively kept my older and not well-insulated home cool during a heat wave. Bonus: It's actually stylish. Although, I still would have paid for an ugly one that works. Its normal price is higher than some other window AC units, but I've paid

You Can Buy This Cartwheeling Humanoid Robot for Less Than Two Apple Vision Pros

“Dance for me, robot,” you scream at your mechanical servant from your gilded throne. “Now flip for me, robot. Fight for me, robot.” That’s the future that China-based robotics maker Unitree is offering with surprisingly dexterous bots like the new R1 model. It is nearly as tall as a human, has decals and a mask that remind me of a scaled-up Power Rangers action figure, and is built with AI voice recognition and the ability to do flips. Even with all that, the real surprise is the cost. The Unit

Pebble is officially Pebble again

X to test using Community Notes to find the posts everyone likes

Elon Musk’s X will begin experimenting with a new way to use Community Notes, its crowdsourcing fact-checking system, to highlight well-liked posts from users with different perspectives. On Thursday, the Community Notes X account announced the launch of a pilot test where select contributors would be able to rate posts by answering questions about why they either like or don’t like that particular post. The system is similar to how Community Notes fact-checking works. Instead of simply allowin

UnitedHealth Group Says It Is Cooperating With a DOJ Investigation

VTuber agency VShojo shuts down after talent exodus

VShojo has failed and I’ve mismanaged the company into the situation you’re all witnessing. So today I am sharing the difficult news that VShojo is shutting down, and I take full responsibility for the decisions that led us to this point. I’ve been doing everything I can to fundraise and right the ship these past few months, but despite my efforts, we are in a worse position, and those I care about are now paying the price. Over the past few years, we raised around $11 million to pursue a bol

The ‘Doctor Who’ Comic-Con Pop-Up Offers a Fun Peek at UNIT’s ‘Black Archive’

Across the street from the San Diego Convention Center, there’s a secret trove of artifacts from some of the biggest clashes across time and space. Well, it’s not so secret: there’s a TARDIS photo op right in front to help you find it. Doctor Who‘s future isn’t yet known—even the identity of the next Doctor isn’t certain—but the show’s SDCC pop-up ties into the show’s past as well as its upcoming spin-off, The War Between the Land and the Sea. The “Black Archive”—inspired by the 2013 50th anniv

The Demise of China’s Hottest Online Shopping Craze

During the height of the pandemic, a unique kind of online shopping became one of the hottest trends in China’s tech industry. Called “community group buying,” it allowed consumers to save money on everything from apples to iPhones by placing bulk orders together with their friends and family. The model, which was kind of like Groupon meets Instacart, proved especially popular for groceries. But now, China's community group-buying platforms are vanishing one by one. Late last month, Meituan, th

It's a compact 1,024Wh power station that can connect to external batteries, and its improved cooling mechanism makes it a lot quieter than its predecessor. The silver finish has a tendency to get dinged up. $899 at Amazon Power stations come in all shapes and sizes, but I find that the units on the extreme ends get most of the attention: either the massive ones that can power a home for days or the tiny, ultraportables

Our Galaxy Z Fold 7 opens perfectly flat, but shoppers are reporting issue with demo units

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Some shoppers have noticed that Galaxy Z Fold 7 demo units in stores aren’t opening fully flat, sparking concerns online. Other users, including our team, report no such issues, suggesting this might be limited to specific demo units.
