Plenty of other retailers are offering discounts and bargains this week, including Walmart, REI, Target, Wayfair, Best Buy, and Home Depot.

I wanted to hate Samsung’s proprietary Galaxy Watch 8 bands, but I can’t

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-01-31 04:30:08

I didn’t expect to care this much about a watch band system, but here we are. With the launch of its newest smartwatches, Samsung has officially streamlined its wearable portfolio, bringing its questionable squircle shape to every model. This also means that all the Galaxy Watch 8 models now feature the brand’s Dynamic Lug system. This particular facet of the redesign might seem minor at first glance, and for anyone who’s ever struggled to swap a watch strap, it’s a meaningful improvement that’s

ChatGPT made up a product feature out of thin air, so this company created it

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-01-31 20:59:25

On Monday, sheet music platform Soundslice says it developed a new feature after discovering that ChatGPT was incorrectly telling users the service could import ASCII tablature—a text-based guitar notation format the company had never supported. The incident reportedly marks what might be the first case of a business building functionality in direct response to an AI model's confabulation. Typically, Soundslice digitizes sheet music from photos or PDFs and syncs the notation with audio or video

Have you ever spent hours on a piece of artwork, only to watch it fade over time? It’s a frustrating reality for many artists, and it all comes down to something called ‘lightfastness’ – a medium’s resistance to fading over time when exposed to light.
