Datamaxxing sounds like the sort of wellness trend that would involve a spreadsheet, three supplements, and far too much free time. The basic idea is much more sensible. People are feeding data from their wearables into AI chatbots and asking them to explain what all those numbers actually mean. The Wall Street Journal recently documented several people building systems around exactly that idea. There’s a genuine gap for AI to fill here. A 2026 Nature Communications study found that wearables are good at producing summaries, but much less useful when people want personalized answers about their own data. An AI…

The next Xbox Elite controller may have turned up in about the least official way imaginable. Reddit user ssuberlex, in a now deleted post, says they paid $200 on OfferUp for a mystery Xbox controller that looks like an unreleased Microsoft prototype. Photos show a small built-in screen alongside hardware that resembles the Xbox Elite Series 3 design previously exposed through Brazilian regulatory material. The controller is also labeled as not for sale and carries placeholder regulatory information, giving the prototype explanation considerably more weight. Its new owner hasn’t exactly scored an early-access gaming session, though. The controller currently won’t…

Smart glasses aren’t exactly an affordable piece of tech. They usually cost hundreds of dollars to put a computer on your face. Rogbid, on the other hand, is just asking for $69.99 and is somehow throwing in a 39-day battery claim in the deal. The new Rogbid VisionW are a pair of AI smart glasses built around Bluetooth audio, voice assistants, and interchangeable frame designs. Rogbid calls them a “3-in-1” product and shows three different styles, ranging from chunky dark Wayfarer-style frames to a slimmer half-rim design with clear lenses. Rogbid doesn’t clearly specify whether your $69.99 actually includes all…

Whether it’s through tapping-to-pay, swiping a card through a reader, or inserting a chip, card-based payment methods have become a staple of making everyday purchases. For years, it seemed as if such payment methods, which have largely replaced cash, could go no further; from a layperson’s point of view, what could be more convenient than paying for groceries or gas by simply tapping their card on a screen? Mobile wallets represent a notable development in this regard, taking the interaction further by maintaining the motion but replacing the object through digitization. Today, people are able to load multiple debit, credit,…

Limited-edition consoles usually settle for a new paint job with a new logo slapped on. But Sony is giving a little extra attention to detail to one of Marvel’s most beloved characters. The company has revealed its Marvel’s Wolverine limited-edition PS5 collection, headlined by a Battle Yellow PS5 Digital Edition covered in enormous claw marks that appear to tear through its outer shell and expose what lies underneath. A matching DualSense gets the same yellow-and-black treatment, complete with scratches and slashes inspired by Logan’s claws. The whole collection arrives September 15 alongside Insomniac Games’ Marvel’s Wolverine, with preorders opening August…

Volkswagen‘s latest hybrid car is impressive on paper, but the real shocker is its price tag. SAIC Volkswagen has opened preorders for the ID. Era 5S in China with a limited-time starting price of 115,900 yuan, or roughly $17,175. Its regular Pure trim costs around $17,770, while even the range-topping Max comes in at just $22,215. To put that into perspective, Chevrolet lists the 2027 Bolt at an MSRP of $28,995, making it America’s cheapest EV. Nissan’s 2026 Leaf starts at $29,990 before destination charges. So the cheapest Bolt is around $11,820 above Volkswagen’s introductory ID. Era 5S price. $17,000…

Ever wonder if a research paper is destined to be a big deal long before it actually becomes one? Researchers at Cornell University think they have figured out how to tell, and it comes down to something as simple as downloads. The team published new datasets pulled from arXiv, the go-to repository for unreviewed research papers, and GitHub, the platform coders use to store and share their projects. The goal is to test “lead-lag forecasting,” a method that uses early engagement, including views, downloads, and likes, to predict which papers or projects will matter years down the line. Why does…

Mahala.ai brings senior remote Data and AI specialists  to the GCC without regulated data leaving the country Dubai, UAE – August 2026 Across the GCC, governments and enterprises are moving on AI faster than almost anywhere in the world. The unspoken truth is that most of these projects stall before they start. The reason for the stalling is not because the models fall short, but because the data underneath them isn’t ready. Only 7% of enterprises say their data is fully prepared for AI, and nearly 80% say limited data access is actively holding their AI back (Cloudera / Harvard…

Kia has finally put a price on the EV3, and the number might actually surprise you. The entry-level trim starts at $31,385 in the US, including a $1,495 destination charge, making it the cheapest EV Kia sells here and one of the more wallet-friendly electric vehicle options you can buy right now. Why did it take so long to get here? The EV3 has quietly been selling well in Europe and other overseas markets for almost two years now. But getting it to American driveways wasn’t so simple. Tariffs and the rollback of the federal EV tax credit threw a…
