This Wearable Isn't Telepathic, but It Knows What You Want to Say

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-09-28 00:00:05

Telepathy is, until proven otherwise, still science fiction. But a new wearable announced this week aims to bring the world closer to silent communication, though it's more about using brain signals than the X-Men superpower. Alterego, developed by the MIT Media Lab, is a peripheral neural interface that allows us to converse with machines, artificial intelligence assistants and humans, without using our voice or externally observable movements. We first saw the Alterego as a prototype in 2018

Google is phasing out one of its staple Wear OS apps

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-30 08:33:23

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority TL;DR Google is discontinuing its legacy Weather app for Wear OS 6 and newer versions. Wear OS 6 is the latest iteration of the software and is based on Android 16. Wear OS 6 users who already had the old Weather app before upgrading can continue using it, but new downloads from the Play Store will no longer be allowed. Pixel Watch users will get upgraded to the Pixel Weather app. Google will no longer offer its Weather app for new installations on Wear OS

The app is expected to arrive with the Pixel Watch 4, but screenshots are already showing up on the Play Store. Back in 2022, Google gave Wear OS 3 a standalone weather app simply called Weather.

Woman Goes to Get Brazilian Wax, Alarmed to Notice Waxer Is Wearing Meta’s Video Recording Glasses

Advocates have long contended that so-called "smart glasses," which when activated record whatever the wearer sees, pose serious privacy risks. There was a sharp outcry when Google debuted Project Glass more than a decade ago, and now with Meta's Ray-Ban AI glasses, a new generation is finding out the hard way just how creepy these surveillance wearables can be.

Best Period Underwear for 2025

I'm no stranger to period underwear and other "alternative" period products (where my menstrual cup fans at?), so I jumped at the chance to write this guide. When you're on your period, staying dry and comfortable are the top priorities, so I judged every pair of these underwear through that lens. I first tested all of the above underwear for fit, to determine if they are true to size. That mostly involved a lot of trying them on, wearing them under pants to see how bulky or slim they were and

New Study Finds Smartwatches Aren’t That Good at Measuring Stress

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2025-11-27 06:05:21

Some health enthusiasts swear by smartwatches as a way to monitor stress levels, but a recent study calls into question that common usage. The study, published in the Journal of Psychopathology and Clinical Science, claims that such watches display a very limited ability to actually communicate what a person’s psychological state is. Sometimes, a watch may think the user is stressed when they’re really just excited about something, researchers say. The report looked at nearly 800 students who w

Joe Maring / Android Authority About a month ago, Google started doing something long overdue for Wear OS: it finally began replacing Google Assistant with Gemini. As imperfect as it may be at times, Gemini is a really powerful tool. More importantly, Google Assistant on Wear OS has been showing its age for a while now. I’ve been testing Gemini on the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 Classic for a little over two weeks. In addition to using it for daily tasks, I’ve also been comparing it side by side wi

One of the Biggest Sources of Microplastics Will Make You Mad as Hell

Microplastics are so pervasive that they're now found in our bloodstreams, bones, and — according to one alarming study — even our brains in enough quantities to make a plastic spoon. But where do they all come from? One of the biggest sources may surprise you: car tires. Or maybe it isn't that surprising, now that we've brought it up.

The updated versions comply with Google’s mandate to switch to the new Watch Face Format.
