Should you buy a robot lawn mower with no boundary wire? My verdict after months of testing

ZDNET's key takeaways The Eufy E15 Robot Mower for yards up to 0.2 acres is normally $2,300, while the Eufy E18 covers up to 0.3 acres and costs $2,600, though both are currently on sale This robot mower uses visual recognition, AI algorithms, and 3D sensors to distinguish the boundaries of a lawn and avoid obstacles in real time While it's good for smaller yards, I'd recommend it for fenced-in, flat yards, as it can get stuck on uneven terrain. $1,499.99 at Amazon The Eufy E15 is currently 3

Show HN: tsbro – TypeScript for the Browser, No Build Step

tsbro TypeScript for the Browser. No tooling, no build step, simply works. TypeScript is still second-class citizen with regards to browser adoption, there is a proposal to fix that, but until then we have to use tooling, bundlers, build steps that are an impediment for when you want to quickly create a short demo or PoC. There are ways to run TypeScript code but it can't import other files or make use of remote packages. tsbro solves this by completely bypassing the browser's import system u

Developing with Kiro: Amazon's New Agentic IDE

Google spoofed via DKIM replay attack: A technical breakdown

This morning started with a call from a friend – clearly shaken. He had just received an alarming email that looked strikingly legitimate. Unsure whether it was safe or a scam, he reached out to me for help verifying its authenticity. What followed was a deep dive into the message to determine whether it was a genuine communication or a cleverly crafted phishing attempt. The email was convincing enough to create real concern, and that’s what makes this story worth sharing. This was the email:

Now, Trump Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has confirmed that if China won't approve the latest version of the deal—which coul

Low-Temp 2D Semiconductors: A Chipmaking Shift

Is Trump Trying to Get Back in Elon Musk’s Good Graces?

Elon Musk and Donald Trump joined forces before the 2024 presidential election to help each other out. Trump needed Musk’s money to buy votes and Musk needed Trump to decimate the federal government while making sure contracts with his own companies remained untouched. But the two men had a very messy falling out back in late May, when Musk departed his government role with DOGE, the Department of Government Efficiency. But no matter how much the men may bicker in public, they keep trying to si

One of the best examples in the tech world is Framework, which has grown immensely by centering modularity and repairability in the ethos of its laptops and new mini desktop PC.
