Meta has failed to remove numerous AI-created videos depicting graphic child abuse from Facebook, despite reports and previous removals. An account previously taken down was reinstated without explanation and remains active, with thousands of similar videos still accessible on the platform. The company has not responded to recent reports requesting action or clarification.
Weber, which acquired June Systems in January 2021 and stopped manufacturing the June Oven in 2022, has now disabled the smart oven's app and cloud connectivity. Owners lose remote control, software updates, and the AI-driven food recognition features that once distinguished the device, though the appliance still functions as a basic oven. Weber said it considered open-sourcing the technology but declined because June's IP is tied to its Weber Connect platform.
A TechCrunch reviewer spent two weeks using Tovala's connected oven and pre-portioned meal deliveries to see if the system could rival the ease of ordering takeout. The oven, priced at $299 or $349 for the Pro model with steam capability, automatically adjusts cooking modes when users scan a QR code tied to each meal. Results were mixed: some dishes impressed while others fell short of a traditional home-cooked meal.
CNET reviewed a low-cost sliding pizza peel, a wooden board fitted with a manual conveyor belt made of nonstick, fiberglass-like material rather than actual cloth. Instead of shoving a rigid peel entirely under a raw pizza, users only need to get the leading edge under the dough before pulling the conveyor toward themselves to load it, then reversing the motion to launch it into the oven.
A longtime home cook recounts how years of daily air fryer use narrowed the range of dishes she still prepares in a conventional oven. She names nine specific foods—including hard-boiled eggs, salmon, cheeseburgers and whole roasted chicken—where the air fryer consistently outperformed the oven. The piece also points to CNET's current top-rated air fryer, which features a glass cooking chamber that doubles as storage.
