I’m really impressed with this $400 portable projector

techcrunch.com Lauren Forristal 2025-12-28 20:00:00

I recently moved to a new apartment, and unfortunately, the television didn’t make the cut during the amicable roommate split. While my studio isn’t as cramped as my previous living situations, fitting a bulky TV into the living area still felt impractical to me. In my search for a suitable alternative, a startup called Lumi Labs reached out about testing its new portable projector, the Lumi Max. From the moment I unboxed it, I was impressed by how far projectors have come since my college days

The fall of EV startup Fisker: A comprehensive timeline

techcrunch.com Henry Pickavet 2025-12-28 23:34:12

Henrik Fisker once envisioned a burgeoning EV empire at the startup he named after himself, which was to be led by the Ocean SUV. But cracks started showing in that vision almost as soon as the Ocean hit the road in 2023. Fisker cut production targets multiple times, failed to meet sales goals and laid off staff. What’s more, its Ocean SUV was beset with software and mechanical issues, rendering it inoperable for some. Add troublesome brakes, sudden power loss and doors that wouldn’t open to th

In Brief Taco Bell’s chief digital officer says the company is having an “active conversation” about when to use and not to use AI. The company has apparently rolled out voice AI-powered ordering at more than 500 drive-throughs, leading to unflattering viral moments like someone ordering 18,000 water cups in order to “bypass” the AI and get connected to a human server.

Libby is hands down my favorite part of using my Kindle

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-28 21:30:35

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority As a kid, my library handed out tokens for every chapter kids read as part of a summer reading program. At the end of the season, those tokens turned into currency for spending at a karaoke BBQ, with games and toys up for grabs. I’ll never get over the trauma of singing American Pie (I had not realized just how painfully long that song really is), but I will always foster the same love for mass consumption of oversized chapter books.

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority Earlier this week, the reMarkable team dropped a playful teaser with the suggestive tagline, “something is on the move.” The clip is choppy, fast-paced, and intentionally ambiguous, leaving shoppers guessing exactly what’s headed to shelves on September 3 at 8:00 AM ET.
