TCL’s Bright-As-Hell Flagship 4K TV Is Filled With Enticing Features… and AI

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-10-18 13:00:00

Gemini has taken over Android phones like the Pixel 10, and soon enough the AI chatbot will invade Google TVs. First on the list to get AI-ified is the budget-end brand TCL with its new flagship mini LED 4K TV, the QM9K, freshly announced at IFA 2025. If you hate the idea of a chatbot attached to your TV, maybe good picture quality is enough to distract from the proliferation of AI into every product category. In the same vein as Sony’s TV push last year with its Bravia series, TCL has a habit

AI Has a Hidden Water Cost—Here’s How to Calculate Yours

gizmodo.com Leo S. Lo 2025-10-18 13:20:56

Artificial intelligence systems are thirsty, consuming as much as 500 milliliters of water – a single-serving water bottle – for each short conversation a user has with the GPT-3 version of OpenAI’s ChatGPT system. They use roughly the same amount of water to draft a 100-word email message. That figure includes the water used to cool the data center’s servers and the water consumed at the power plants generating the electricity to run them. But the study that calculated those estimates also po

Takeout Containers Should Never Go in the Microwave. This Is Why

When hunger and laziness coincide, reheating last night's leftovers in the microwave seems like a great idea. But if you reheat them in the plastic container they came in, you put yourself at risk for ingesting microplastics and harmful chemicals. You may be wondering, "Is plastic contamination as dangerous as experts say?" Unfortunately, all signs point to yes. Study after study has shown that the resulting chemical exposure of microplastics could pose significant health risks and they have be

How Often Should You Vacuum to Get Rid of Microplastics and Other Particulates? (2025)

wired.com Nena Farrell 2025-10-18 13:04:00

Global Earth Day published studies that found pets and babies are especially at risk for microplastic exposure from household dust. Both household members stay low to the ground—closer to dust, microplastics, and particulates that are invisible to the naked eye on carpets and floors—and put everything in their mouths, making it easier for them to ingest microplastic dust that could be on those objects. While that household dust could be anywhere in your home, carpet turns out to have its own is

The big iPhone 17 Air question: will Apple’s new design phone carry a premium price tag?

Next week, Apple will announce the new lineup of iPhone. The big change is the discontinuation of the iPhone 16 Plus phone, instead introducing a new thin form factor design model. This is widely expected to be branded as the iPhone 17 Air. It will feature the thinnest chassis of an iPhone ever, measuring about 5.5mm at its thinnest point.
