When robotic mowers arrived on the scene, they promised a future where you could just set them up and forget, as the machine took care of your lawn. That didn’t quite pan out. Caring for a lawn is a tedious chore that involves plenty of noise, labor, and lost hours. And let’s not forget, even with advanced robotic mowers, you still have to deal with manual installation of wires, take care of inclines, worry about pet safety, cutting concerns, and a bunch of other factors. This is where Mova comes into the picture with its LiDAX Ultra series of robotic…

A fresh leak from the Chinese tipster “Smart Pikachu” (via Weibo) claims that Apple is testing teleconverter lenses for the iPhone 18 Pro series, which is rumored to launch this year. The rumor comes after several Android flagships have already provided the feature over the years. Teleconverter lenses, like those used on DSLRs, are external lenses that sit between the camera lens and the sensor and extend its effective focal length or optical zoom range. How do teleconverters work on smartphones? On smartphones, teleconverters are available as attachable lens elements that sit atop the existing telephoto cameras. While the sound…

DeepSeek looks like it’s preparing to move beyond chat and into search, right as AI starts to reshape how people look up information. Multiple job postings this month suggest the Chinese startup is building DeepSeek AI search, a product aimed at multilingual queries and newer kinds of inputs, Bloomberg reports. The work described in the ads points to a multimodal engine, one that can take text, images, and audio. That’s a direct fit for phone-first searching, where a screenshot, photo, or voice clip is often the real query. The job posts spell out the build The roles call for specialists…
A new study suggests an AI emotional connection can feel stronger than human conversation, if the chat is built to get personal fast. In structured online exchanges, people sometimes reported feeling closer to AI-written responses than to responses written by real humans. Researchers at the Universities of Freiburg and Heidelberg ran two double-blind randomized studies with 492 participants, using a 15-minute text version of the Fast Friends Procedure, a format designed to speed up bonding with a stranger. The twist is perception. The strongest effect showed up when the AI was presented as human, and it faded when people believed…
Tesla will stop the production of the Model S and Model X in the second quarter of 2026. The announcement came from CEO Elon Musk during the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call. While it might come as a shock to Tesla enthusiasts, there are a few good reasons behind the company’s decision to halt production (and give prospective buyers enough time to get their hands on one). S and X will always continue to exist in the fleet, just not in production, but it is still a little sad— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) January 29, 2026 Model S and Model X are…

He claims that the entry- and mid-level variants of the Galaxy S26 Ultra, with 256GB and 512GB storage, respectively, could be €100 cheaper at launch. S26: base models are pretty much the same price as last year, except for Ultra, which is ~100 Euro cheaper…
WhatsApp is finally handing users the keys to a digital fortress. On January 27, 2026, the company announced a massive update that goes well beyond the usual bug fixes and sticker packs. They are calling it “Strict Account Settings,” but honestly, it feels more like a “Lockdown Mode” for your personal life. It is a new, optional security layer designed to make your account incredibly difficult for hackers, scammers, and creeps to penetrate. We all know the internet has become a slightly terrifying place lately. Between sophisticated phishing attacks and the constant barrage of spam calls, relying on standard privacy…
