Kindle Colorsoft Kids Review (2025): Great for All Ages

wired.com Nena Farrell 2026-01-02 20:37:00

The age-old question (if “age-old” can be used for technology developed in the past 20 years) persisted as I tested the newest designed-for-kids Kindle: Should you give kids a screen when you could give them something else? If you are going to give your kids a screen, a reflective e-paper screen that's easier on the eyes than an emissive screen is one of the best ways to go. While a Kindle can't fully replace the experience of turning a page on a physical book, I loved reading from a young age

The Duty-Free Loophole Is Closing. What That Means for You—and Your Packages

Want to buy something online and have it shipped into the US? Well, get ready to pay more for the privilege. Starting Friday, small packages imported into the country will be subjected to a duty. The Trump administration is levying a new tax on all packages coming into the country—regardless of value—starting August 29. This is the latest push in President Trump’s global trade war. The new policy is the result of an executive order issued in July that officially suspended the de minimis import

Tesla FSD turns off more U.S. consumers than its attracts, survey finds

Elon Musk reacts during a press event with U.S. President Donald Trump (not pictured), at the White House in Washington, D.C., U.S., May 30, 2025. Elon Musk's fervent promotion of Tesla 's self-driving technology isn't doing much to win over prospective buyers. According to a new survey, more U.S. consumers say that Tesla's FSD, or Full Self-Driving (Supervised) systems, would push them away from the brand rather than drawing them to it.

Google's AI Is Committing a Unique Evil: Giving Gamers Tips That Are Actually False

Back in the day, getting fooled by a fake cheat code from word of mouth or early web forums was almost a rite of passage for gamers.

The U.S. Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has sanctioned two individuals and two companies associated with North Korean IT worker schemes that operate at the expense of American organizations. These schemes involve placing in U.S. firms skilled tech workers with stolen or fabricated identities and using so-called “laptop farms” to hide the true location of the employees.

Gavin Newsom’s Bizarro-Trump Schtick Gets Even Weirder With a Memecoin

Newsom’s team is filling his social media channels with all-caps screeds and vainglorious pronouncements that sound like the president, even rolling out merchandise like red hats that say “Newsom Was Right About Everything.” The strategy has been polarizing, to say the least, with some people embracing Newsom’s approach as a fun attack on Trump, while others say it’s an unnecessary
