One of the biggest companies to watch over CES 2026, an annual tech event which this year starts on January 6, is Samsung. Actually, you should probably make an earlier mark on your calendar: the Korean brand’s tie-in press conference actually starts before CES, on January 4.  No, it’s not where we’ll see the Samsung Galaxy S26 family. Or the Galaxy Tab S12, or Buds 4 or Watch 9 or whatever other piece of mobile tech you’re yearning for from the brand. They’ll likely come later in January, or in February, but what Samsung does show off could be just…

With NASA’s first launch toward the moon in five decades potentially only a few months away, the space agency has just released the first episode of a new show that focuses on the highly anticipated mission. Moonbound — Charting the Course runs for 22 minutes and offers a deep dive into the preparations being made for the 10-day Artemis II flight, which will see four astronauts fly around the moon and back again. NASA is using the mission as the first crewed test of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket and Orion spacecraft, paving the way for the crewed Artemis…

There are doorbuster TV deals, and then there’s this. The TCL 85″ Class QM6K Series 4K UHD HDR QD mini LED Smart TV is going for $999.99, which is a full $1,000 off its usual $1,999.99 comp value. You’re getting an 85″ 4K panel, QD mini-LED backlighting, and Google TV smarts for under a grand, which is kind of ridiculous if you remember what big screens used to cost. What you’re getting This isn’t a bare-bones big screen. The QM6K uses QD mini LED backlighting, which means a dense grid of tiny LEDs plus quantum dots for better brightness and…

Microsoft’s Copilot has quietly appeared on LG webOS TVs, and many owners only noticed after it was already there. The issue first came up when a Reddit user shared screenshots showing a Microsoft Copilot tile on their LG TV home screen after a recent webOS update. The post spread quickly, and other LG TV owners confirmed they were seeing the same thing. As more reports appeared, it became clear this is not a bug limited to one model. This move matches LG’s earlier plans to integrate Copilot into its TV software, especially for newer versions of webOS. LG’s own documentation…

Meta’s microblogging platform, Threads, is expanding its Communities feature. It now supports more than 200 communities, up from just over 100 (via newsroom post). The increasing number of communities covers a broader array of interests, including general topics like books and K-pop to specific conversation points like favorite sports teams. Furthermore, Meta is also testing engagement features inside the expanded communities. Highly engaging contributors will receive a “Champion” badge on their profile, signifying that they keep the conversation active and are highly followed on the platform. Meanwhile, users will be able to set customizable interest labels, functioning like tag labels…

Google has published a blunt assessment of how reliable today’s AI chatbots really are, and the numbers are not flattering. Using its newly introduced FACTS Benchmark Suite, the company found that even the best AI models struggle to break past a 70% factual accuracy rate. The top performer, Gemini 3 Pro, reached 69% overall accuracy, while other leading systems from OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI scored even lower. The takeaway is simple and uncomfortable. These chatbots still get roughly one out of every three answers wrong, even when they sound confident doing it. The benchmark matters because most existing AI tests…

There’s nothing like waking up tired and instantly blaming the nearest inanimate object: the mattress.  But sleep tech hasn’t stood still. It’s been creeping into the bedroom in small ways, changing how mattresses cool, support, and react to you. Brands like Novilla are responsible for that progress, building mattresses with the same tech-first approach people now expect in everything from their phones to their workout gear. The focus is on materials that respond to heat, movement, and pressure instead of ignoring them. The mattress has finally caught up to the way real people sleep, and if brands don’t adapt, they’ll…

ASUS has quietly added two new models to its GeForce RTX 5060 lineup that look almost identical to existing cards at first glance but come with several hardware tweaks. Without any formal announcement, ASUS has listed the Dual GeForce RTX 5060 EVO and Dual GeForce RTX 5060 Ti EVO on its website. These cards sit alongside the standard RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti, offering the same core performance while reworking the physical design and internal layout. The most noticeable change is size. Both EVO cards use a slimmer 2.1 slot design instead of the 2.5 slot layout used by earlier…

If your current Bluetooth speaker disappears the second people start talking, this is the kind of upgrade that changes the whole vibe. The Sony ULT Tower 9 (SRSULT900) is a full-size wireless party speaker built for big, room-filling sound, deep bass, and all the lights-and-effects drama you’d expect at this price. With the current deal dropping it to $699, about 22% off, it finally feels like something you can justify for parties, backyard hangs, and even day-to-day listening. What you’re getting This is not a bookshelf speaker that happens to be loud. The ULT Tower 9 is a tall, floor-standing…

At $449.99, with $430 off the comp value, it’s suddenly a much more approachable way to add aerial and tracking footage to your life. What you’re getting The X1 PROMAX is all about convenience.
