Joobie: Your interactive, trendy AI companion for every moment

Today’s tech-driven world can make emotional connections seem even further away when you never take the time to meet someone. Youth are always looking for a new way to express and be understood, but most tech gadgets are considered cold, functional, and impersonal.  Even though there’s a deluge of smart devices, precious little is built to interact with us on our emotional level. AI assistants, as we know them now, are more utilitarian but have yet to expand to hands-on use cases. Created for the soulful, adventure-loving generation, Joobie is a social statement, an emotional ally, and a portable companion that knows you…

WhatsApp has begun testing a long-overdue group chat feature

There’s an unsaid rule about giving people some context before adding them to a WhatsApp group, especially if it’s a large group with active members. Until now, you had to do that task manually, acting like a chatbot and summarizing everything in your own words, or by sharing screenshots. However, an upcoming WhatsApp update could help you with this. The Meta-owned messaging platform is testing a new feature called “group chat history sharing” (via a WABetaInfo report). As the name suggests, the feature lets a WhatsApp user (likely the admin) share the chat history (up to 100 messages sent within…

Your charging cable might get a workout if you try ‘Charchery’

It is rare to see a mobile game that actually surprises us with its control scheme anymore. Usually, we are stuck tapping glass, tilting the screen, or maybe folding the device if you have the budget for it. But a new web-based experiment called Charchery has thrown all of that out the window. It turns your physical charging cable into the controller. The concept is as simple as it is destructive: you plug your charger into the phone to nock an arrow, and you physically yank it out to fire. It is undeniably clever, bizarre, and almost certainly a terrible…

Your future BMW electric M3 will still sound like a real M car

The transition to electric vehicles has always had one major stumbling block for car enthusiasts: the sound. Or rather, the lack of it. For decades, the soul of a performance car has been tied to the noise it makes—the intake gasp, the exhaust crackle, the mechanical symphony of pistons and valves. Now, as BMW prepares to launch its first-ever fully electric M3, the company is tackling this problem head-on, and their solution is surprisingly old-school. Instead of trying to invent a new “sound of the future” filled with abstract spaceship hums and digital warbles, BMW’s Motorsport division is digging into…
