technologyreview.com Eileen Guo 2025-09-23 18:00:00

Finding a better way Every time an Amsterdam resident applies for benefits, a caseworker reviews the application for irregularities. If an application looks suspicious, it can be sent to the city’s investigations department—which could lead to a rejection, a request to correct paperwork errors, or a recommendation that the candidate receive less money.

I’ve been on the smart home bandwagon for years, but cobbling together IoT products is never the right approach. Some things work, some don’t, and some don’t work quite as well as you’d want them to. The best smart homes are the ones you never have to think about. Over the years, I’d pieced together a mix of gadgets, platforms that included Alexa

On Thursday, Japanese peripheral maker Green House released a line of Hello Kitty smartwatches that are so adorable that I was annoyed by how boring most smartwatches look these days. The budget smartwatches are themed around four iconic Sanrio characters: Kuromi, Cinnamoroll, Pompompurin, and Hello Kitty, who I recently found out is five apples tall and not a cat but a little girl.
