gizmodo.com Gizmodo Deals 2026-01-30 00:50:00

If you’re looking for a robot vacuum that also mops and doesn’t break the bank, the search can be tough as most models still hover around $500 or more. That’s what makes today’s deal on the iRobot Roomba Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo (Y0140 mode) so impressive: The price has dropped yet again this morning and now sits at $139, a 49% discount from its usual $274. This is the lowest price ever for this mode

The Roomba J7 Plus may not be the newest model on the block from iRobot, but it still offers solid performance.

Is it possible to play doom on an oscilloscope using only lissajous figures?

Getting a piece of electronics to run doom (1993) is a classic project in hobby electronics, and so far people have gotten doom to run on pretty much anything, including analog oscilloscopes. However, in all cases that I have seen, the only part of the oscilloscope that is really "running" doom is the CRT display, which is hooked directly to an external computer a la 90's game consoles.Meanwhile, people also have managed to get analog oscilloscopes to display some pretty extraordinary and dynami

A boomerang carved from a mammoth tusk is one of the oldest in the world, and it may be even older than archaeologists originally thought, according to a recent round of radiocarbon dating. Archaeologists unearthed the mammoth-tusk boomerang in Poland’s Oblazowa Cave in the 1990s, and they originally dated it to around 18,000 years old, which made it one of the world’s oldest intact boomerangs.

Bloom Filters by Example A Bloom filter is a data structure designed to tell you, rapidly and memory-efficiently, whether an element is present in a set. The price paid for this efficiency is that a Bloom filter is a probabilistic data structure: it tells us that the element either definitely is not in the set or may be in the set.
