Dyson has released the CameraJet, an electric toothbrush priced at $499 that embeds a tiny camera in the brush head to livestream footage of your mouth to a paired smartphone over Wi-Fi. An AI system called Gap Optical Targeting analyzes 28 images per second from that camera to spot gaps between teeth and fires a targeted mouthwash spray to clean them within milliseconds, effectively flossing while you brush.
Roborock is marking its 12th anniversary with a sitewide sale running through September 6, discounting robot vacuums and bundles by 25% to over 50%. The flagship Saros 20, which uses dual LiDAR navigation, leg-lifting chassis and carpet-adaptive suction, drops from $1,599.99 to $1,199.99. The sale also introduces the new pet-focused Qrevo 2 Pro to the U.S. market.
JD Power surveyed over 68,000 owners of 2026 model-year vehicles about 40 different automotive technologies and found that features requiring the least driver attention, such as smart ignition and AI-controlled HVAC systems, earned the highest satisfaction scores. Passenger-facing dashboard screens, often found in luxury brands like Mercedes, BMW, and Porsche, ranked among the least liked features.
Wireless congestion from accumulated smart devices is often blamed on Bluetooth interference with Wi-Fi networks. In reality, most modern routers and devices use frequency management techniques that keep Bluetooth and Wi-Fi signals from significantly interfering with each other, except in specific overlapping scenarios.
Most smart TVs ship with limited internal storage that quickly fills up due to app caches, temporary files, and manufacturer-installed bloatware that can be difficult or impossible to remove. Users can clear app cache through settings for temporary relief or uninstall unused apps, though bloatware removal is often restricted by manufacturers. An alternative workaround is attaching an external streaming device like a Fire TV Stick, Roku, or Google TV Streamer, which brings its own storage and app ecosystem independent of the TV's built-in memory.
Apple is preparing to release its first smart glasses as early as next year, built around Siri and Visual Intelligence rather than augmented-reality displays. The glasses will use cameras and microphones to let Siri interpret surroundings, translate text, and answer contextual questions, plus built-in speakers for audio, according to a Bloomberg report citing Mark Gurman. Apple is designing multiple frame styles in-house using acetate material, with possible future versions adding health-tracking features like heart-rate sensors.
An investigation into a budget-priced 75-inch LG smart TV found that agreeing to install the display's basic driver software also forces users to accept a bundle of additional bloatware apps they never explicitly consented to. The report argues this practice, combined with built-in microphones and tracking-capable operating systems, effectively turns purchased hardware into a surveillance and advertising platform controlled by the manufacturer rather than the buyer.
Linkind has released a Smart Light Stick, an E26 screw-in bulb designed around dynamic flame simulation rather than standard color lighting. Users can adjust flame size, brightness, flicker speed, and motion type, and the bulb also includes over 120 presets like sunset and lava effects. It connects to Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home through Matter.
Amazon has cut the price of Samsung's new Freestyle Plus portable projector by $250, from its $1,197.99 list price to $947.99, a 21% reduction. This marks the first time the device has been discounted since its release, and it's the best offer seen on it so far this year.
Philips Hue has published a support page confirming a new wall light module that lets its app control Nanoleaf Hexagon, Triangle, and Mini Triangle panels. The panels will function similarly to a Hue gradient striplight, syncing to colors chosen from the Hue app's color wheel as part of a broader smart lighting setup.
Meta released another firmware update aimed at preventing users from disabling or covering the LED light that signals when its smart glasses are recording. The update, announced by wearables chief Alex Himel, is meant to more reliably alert bystanders that photos or video are being captured, and Meta says similar updates will keep coming.
Meta is pushing an update that stops its AI glasses from recording if the indicator LED is covered mid-capture, closing a workaround where users could start filming and then hide the light afterward. Wearables executive Alex Himel confirmed the fix on Threads, saying it ensures the light reliably signals to bystanders when they're being filmed.
