Dyson is hosting a week-long sale on many notable products. This includes the well-regarded Dyson 360 Vis Nav robot vacuum for $300 off , bringing the price down to $700. This is the best discount we've seen on this particular model. The Vis Nav made our list of the best robot vacuums . This was primarily based on the item's superior suction power, especially when compared to rival units. We said it had the strongest suction power of any robovac we've tested and made short work out of dog hair
Adam Breeden/ZDNET A modern TV uses significantly less energy than one from a decade ago — which makes sense, given how much more power-efficient today's display panels have become. According to Perch Energy, the average power consumption of an old TV runs around $54 per year in energy costs. Because LED-backlit TVs and OLEDs consume less power than traditional LCD screens, newer models cost about $32 annually.

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority Maybe it’s just the sheer number of phones that cross my desk, but I have a love-hate relationship with USB-C. It’s great that I can charge my headphones, laptop, and latest Android smartphones with the same plug, but figuring out whether my gadgets are actually charging optimally is often just a matter of shrugging and hoping for the best. As I’ve whined about countless times, USB-C still has too many different flavors for fast charging. Whether that’s propr
Ampace Andes 1500 Portable Power Station The Ampace Andes 1500 strikes the perfect balance between powerful performance and portability that a power station needs for both indoor and outdoor use. It can output a massive 2,400W, four AC outlets for running high-power electronics, and plenty of other ports for normal electronics. And while not tiny, it is smaller and lighter than alternatives that can't even match it for power. Power stations are quickly becoming a big trend in lifestyle tech, wh

Looking for a way to step up your creative capture game? BOYA is out with a new modular microphone with AI-powered noise cancelation that works with a range of devices. The BOYA Magic is being billed as the world’s first AI-powered, shape-shifting wireless microphone, and it’s now available after a successful Kickstarter campaign. The standout feature here is the transformable design that eliminates the need for multiple microphones. At just 13mm thin and weighing only 7g, BOYA Magic seamlessl
Google will pause non-essential AI workloads to protect power grids, the advertising giant announced on Monday. The web giant already does this sort of thing for non-essential workloads like processing YouTube vids, which it moves to datacenters where power is available rather than continuing to run them in places demand for energy strains the grid. Under an agreement with Indiana Michigan Power (I&M) and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), Google will use the same techniques for AI workload
When celebrations for Power Rangers‘ 30th anniversary wrapped up a few years ago with the release of Once and Always and the conclusion of Cosmic Fury, the franchise’s future was left in doubt. Rumored reboots stalled, Hasbro picked apart the series’ legacy at auction and through AI-enhanced MMPR rereleases—even with the news that Disney would once again become the home of a new era of Power Rangers earlier this year, right now the series’ live-action form has felt dormant. That is, until today,
NASA’s acting administrator Sean Duffy is fast-tracking the agency’s plans to build a nuclear reactor on the lunar surface, a move that highlights the Trump administration’s focus on human spaceflight and establishing a long-term presence on the Moon. Duffy issued a directive to expedite the timeline for the reactor, aiming for a launch date to the Moon by 2030, Politico first reported. In the directive, Duffy mentions China and Russia’s joint plan to put a nuclear reactor of their own on the M
Voltme Hypercore 10K power bank ZDNET's key takeaways Voltme's Hypercore 10K power bank is available on Amazon for $23. It's very compact and easy to carry, with both USB-C and USB-A ports to charge two devices simultaneously. Its small but chunky, as some might prefer a flatter charger. $22.99 at Amazon Power banks are a tradeoff: too big and they're heavy and awkward to carry, too small and they're pretty useless because there's not enough charge power. I've found that the 10,000mAh mark is
For a few years in my 20s and 30s, I was contracted to play music on street corners for half-marathon runners in Austin, Texas. When the site I was assigned didn’t have an outlet available, I had to rent a gas generator (on the organizers’ dime)—a loud, heavy bastard of a machine that was a physical struggle to get started. How I would have loved to have something like the DJI Power 2000 portable power station at the time. The Power 2000 is the third and most powerful in DJI’s series of giganti

When people ask you what your "big three" are, they might be asking about your sun, moon and rising astrological signs. But when I ask my friends the same question, I'm not trying to determine their horoscope. Instead, I'm curious what their headphones and earbuds collection looks like. After more than a decade working as a technology journalist, I'm in the fortunate position of having what most people would consider to be too much tech in my house. I make a real effort to keep it to a minimum
Using advanced computational modeling, a Rutgers professor, in collaboration with researchers from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Stony Brook University, reveal both the immediate and delayed climate benefits of solar power Increasing solar power generation in the United States by 15% could lead to an annual reduction of 8.54 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions, according to researchers at Rutgers, the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and Stony Brook Univ
The United States added 22,332 megawatts of power plant capacity in the first half of this year, and the vast majority of it was utility-scale solar, batteries, and onshore wind. Natural gas was next, and there was zero new coal or nuclear, according to the Energy Information Administration. Through 2030, the US energy landscape looks a lot like these last six months in terms of the mix of new power plants, with solar and batteries leading the way, according to the EIA’s list of planned power
As the story goes, the rock band AC/DC took its name from a label on an old sewing machine in the Young brothers’ home. It must have meant that the machine could run on either alternating-current or direct-current electricity. Today, all the newfangled electronic devices in our homes run only on DC power—even lighting fixtures, now that LEDs have replaced incandescent bulbs. But wait. The electricity that comes out of your wall socket is alternating current. That means each device needs to conv
Joe Maring / Android Authority The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is a bit controversial with its switch to Exynos over Snapdragon, but it’s still one of the very best foldable flip phone experiences you’ll find in 2025. Of course, nothing is perfect, and there’s bound to be a few bugs and glitches. Let’s take a look at some of the common Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 problems that might impact you and offer potential solutions on how to fix them.

CNET’s key takeaways This solar-rechargeable power station is also a backpack that can carry my camping essentials. I was able to charge my laptop six to nine times, my phone 18 times and my drone five times in one charge cycle. The Bluetti Handfree 2 backpack costs $599 at full price, but it is often on sale for $450. It's heavy. It weighs 16.5 pounds by itself before adding other gear. The Bluetti Handsfree 2 backpack, which is also a solar-rechargeable power station, is my new outdoor ess
Does iOS 26's Adaptive Power Mode work? Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET ZDNET's key takeaways The new Adaptive Power Mode in iOS 26 seems to noticeably improve battery life. The performance hit from activating this feature appears to be negligible. Be aware, though, that the iOS 26 public beta seems quite crashy right now. One of the features that I've been testing out in the public beta of iOS 26 is Adaptive Power. This is a feature that monitors battery usage, and when it is higher than usua

After thinking about BusKill product that triggers a command once the USB cord disconnects, I have been thinking at a simple alternative. BusKill official project website When using a laptop connected to power most of the time, you may want it to power off once it gets disconnected, this can be really useful if you use it in a public area like a bar or a train. The idea is to protect the laptop if it gets stolen while in use and unlocked. Here is how to proceed on Linux, using a trigger on an
Last month, the union SAG-AFTRA, which represents video game performers and other actors, ended a nearly yearlong strike with a tentative agreement on "guardrails" against the use of artificial intelligence. The gaming industry has been in disarray, with publishers chomping at the bit to start harnessing AI to augment — or, realistically, replace — the jobs of voice actors and writers. And we're not just talking about scripts or voice lines generated by an algorithm. In the not-so-distant futu

LG’s StanbyMe 2 has all the ingredients of a good follow-up gadget: the display is 1440p instead of 1080p, and instead of being trapped on its rollable stand, the screen is detachable for you to use wherever and however you want. It can hang on the wall if you buy a compatible strap, or you can rest it on its included folio cover, much like you would a tablet. It also has more ports beyond the one HDMI port and one USB-A port in the original model. You’ll get USB-C for connecting laptops, too. I
