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.

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…
