techcrunch.com Sarah Perez 2025-08-03 00:13:31

Another day, another smart device bites the dust — or, in this case, a full lineup of smart home devices. On Thursday, the consumer electronics company Belkin said it will end technical support for its older Wemo products as of January 31, 2026, and that the app used to control the devices will no longer be supported. The decision will impact a range of devices, including smart plugs, light switches, smart bulbs, baby monitors, kitchen appliances, heaters, air purifiers, motion sensors, and mor

Measuring the impact of AI on experienced open-source developer productivity

We conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) to understand how early-2025 AI tools affect the productivity of experienced open-source developers working on their own repositories. Surprisingly, we find that when developers use AI tools, they take 19% longer than without—AI makes them slower. We view this result as a snapshot of early-2025 AI capabilities in one relevant setting; as these systems continue to rapidly evolve, we plan on continuing to use this methodology to help estimate AI accel

Leviathan, the latest collaboration between Beastars‘ Studio Orange and Star Wars: Visions producer Qubic Pictures, marks Netflix’s entry—alongside Crunchyroll—into the realm of Western novel-to-anime adaptations, echoing a path carved by the Answer Studio’s Anne Shirley.
