The 2025 Low-Power Computer Vision Challenge: Spurring Innovation for Edge and Mobile Devices

Imagine a downtown urban street on a traffic-heavy Saturday night.

German court rules Meta tracking technology violates European privacy laws

A German court has ruled that Meta must pay €5,000 ($5,900) to a German Facebook user who sued the platform for embedding tracking technology in third-party websites — a ruling that could open the door to large fines down the road over data privacy violations relating to pixels and similar tools.

This No-Subscription Smart Ring Shamed Me Into Changing My Unhealthy Habits

As a veteran smartwatch and fitness tracker reviewer, it's rare that I get to approach a product with a completely fresh set of eyes, but that's what happened with the Ultrahuman Ring Air.

Neither AI nor E Ink can make touchscreen trackpads a good idea

E Ink, the company behind the highly readable displays you'll find in ereaders the world over, has created a new touchscreen trackpad for some reason.

Jared Renshaw, the fire commissioner for Southeastern PA's Western Berks County, told WFMZ that the car was in

AirTag 2 Rumors: New Leaks on Upcoming Features and Release Date

Google’s spotty Find Hub network could get better thanks to a small setup tweak

Bluetooth trackers have existed for quite a while, but Apple made them worthwhile when it enlisted every iPhone to support AirTags. The tracking was so reliable that Apple had to add anti-stalking features, and there are just as many Android phones out there. However, Google's version of mobile device tracking, known as Find Hub, has been comparatively spotty. Now, Google is about to offer users a choice that could fix Bluetooth tracking on Android.
