Recapturing the feeling of playing video games of bygone eras is no easy task. Sure, a simple emulator can technically drag ancient software to modern television screens, but anyone who grew up playing 8-bit games can tell you the experience isn’t al…
Facebook wants you to use your brain to interact with your computer. Specifically, instead of using something primitive like a screen or a controller, the company is looking into ways that you and I can interact with our PCs or phones just by using o…
If you’re a cord cutter, you no longer have to worry about buying a dedicated media player just to watch live broadcasts on your LG TV. Sling TV’s internet-only service is now available on “most” of LG’s 2016-era webOS sets as an app, with 2017 model…
Over the last few decades, there have been several attempts to merge the mundane aspects of the real world with the digital. All of these, while catering to a niche, have failed to conquer the world in the way that Mark Zuckerberg hopes that Facebook…
If you are always running short on time, then house chores are the least of your worries. Things that pertain to money and our health usually have to come first, but having a clean house can factor in to good mental health. Sitting pretty on a pile of money and no personal time can afford you many things, and a clean house could be one of them.
This Eufy RoboVac is a self-charging vacuum that can climb area carpets, and get to all those hard-to-reach spots you would otherwise leave untouched. It will run for about an hour and a half without dying part way through, and uses a 3-point cleaning system to leave a path of spotless floor in its wake. There are side brushes that will scoop dust, hair, debris, and anything else in its way to a rolling brush on the inside, where the suction will make sure that anything swept in doesn’t go out.
This has an anti-scratch tempered glass cover, infrared sensors for dealing with obstacles and falls, and will recharge automatically. There are 4 cleaning modes, including auto, spot, edge, and small room, which will change Eufy’s path to better focus on what needs to be done. It comes with a remote control that needs 2 AAA batteries, a charging base, AC power adapter, cleaning tool, 4 side brushes, and a HEPA-style filter. This will set you back around $219, but if saving you time at home is more important than money, it could have its use.
Available for purchase on Amazon

Today at F8, Facebook revealed it has a team of 60 engineers working on building a brain-computer interface that will let you type with just your mind without invasive impants. The team plans to use optical imaging to scan your brain a hundred times per second to detect you speaking silently in your head, and translate it into text. Regina Dugan, the head of Facebook’s R&D… Read More
Let your feet breathe a little and escape from the boots you’ve been wearing for the winter.

Over the past few days, there’s been speculation—thanks to an offhand comment at a recent press tour of Marvel Studio’s offices—that a director for the Captain Marvel movie had been found. Now, a new report indicates this is indeed the case: but it’s not one director, but two: Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck.
Probably the suckiest thing about science is the fact that lots of the time you can’t read the research yourself. If it’s not open access and you’re interested, either you shell out 35 bucks for a pdf, email someone asking for it, or settle with listening to some dummy like me interpret the results peppered with…
Nintendo recently decided to retire the NES Classic Mini, even though many people still want one and can’t find one. It was a hit last Christmas, but stock problems made it very hard to acquire. Now, Nintendo decided to kill it completely. Sad news for fans, but good news for collectors and eBay sellers. Now Eurogamer is reporting that a Super Nintendo Mini may be in the works. That should make you feel better.
If we can believe the report, the new hardware is scheduled to launch this holiday season, and development is already underway. It makes sense, since this is now a money machine for Nintendo. Maybe we will even get a mini N64, then a mini Gamecube, then a mini Wii after the SNES.
Take it with a grain of salt for now, but Eurogamer has a great track record. If you missed out on a Classic Mini, maybe you can get an SNES Mini.
